Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

When Qu Mao mentioned the matter of railway construction, Kong Ming and Xuande looked at each other, Kong Ming just gave an example, unexpectedly Qu Mao would start discussing this issue immediately.

"So, what's the current status of the railway construction in King Yi's territory?" Qu Mao asked directly without caring about the emotions of Kong Ming and Xuande.

Kong Ming had no choice but to shake his goose feather fan and said, "Master, the railway construction on the islands of the Holy Land is actually not good. There are only two railways from the Outlying Island Power Research Institute to the Fucun Shipyard, and from the Outlying Island Power Research Institute to Digang. Ji Island also built a railway on the central axis of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, but the railways on the surface of other islands did not.

However, railways have been built on the Ziguang trail in the underground world that connects the 10 islands underground.

There is also the railway between the two-way portals between the entrance and exit of the underground world leading to the end of the underground world. The double-track railway has been built.

It is not as good as the total mileage of the 16 railways in eight vertical and eight horizontal directions on the main continent. Although there are a total of 16 railways in eight vertical and eight horizontal directions on the main mainland, none of the railways have been completely completed yet.

Of course, the railway between the new imperial city of the Tassel Empire and the old imperial city, and the railway between the new imperial city and the provincial capital of Gir are already under construction.

However, my lord, you need to know clearly that the current production capacity of Liandao Locomotive Factory is only 18 locomotives a year, and the five underground passages in Holy Land need 10 train locomotives. Six train locomotives.

Although the 16 railways with eight vertical and eight horizontal lines on the main road of Dongda Road have not been completely repaired, the total number of train locomotives used in each stage is still about 32, and only 18 of them have been laid now.

The eight vertical and eight horizontal railways, which started construction on July 7, the eighth year of Tianxuan, have not yet been completely completed, but in the territory of the Tassel Empire, the Red Leaf Principality, and other early independent territories that we occupied in the early days, the interval sections All the railways have been built, just waiting for the steam locomotives to be in place and open for operation.

On the whole, the scale of the railways in the Holy Land of King Yi’s territory and the independent territories is still amazing. The only fly in the ointment is that the production speed of locomotives is too slow to meet the speed of our railway development.

Of course, the railway traffic around the New Imperial City of the Tassel Empire has been planned, but it is still in the stage of laying the monorail. If you want to vigorously plan the railway construction, I am afraid it is not suitable. We may need to solve the train and locomotive production capacity first. . "

Xuande said: "My lord, the opinions of my subordinates and Master Kong Ming are not completely consistent. At present, the railways in the Holy Land of King Yi's territory are mainly underground railways, and the utilization rate of locomotives is not high. My subordinates feel that they can directly use the underground passages of the Holy Land." The locomotives of the trains were brought out to support the operation of the iron wheels on the independent territory of the main continent.

At least 10 train locomotives can be drawn from the underground world of the Holy Land, and even the freight cars and passenger cars can be taken out and transported to the main continent of the Eastern Continent for use.

After all, there are 16 roads in eight vertical and eight horizontal directions in the Eastern Continent. As long as the railway between the two railway stations has been repaired, the application can directly generate benefits..."

Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Xuande's words, and said, "If we want to expand the railway construction plan, we naturally need to solve the production capacity of locomotives, passenger cars, and freight cars in advance..."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said, "My lord, isn't this a very appropriate move?

Whether it is to expand the production capacity of locomotives, passenger cars and freight cars, or to expand the number of railways built at the same time, it means that a large number of steel resources are required..."

Xuande also said: "My lord, although the application prospects of trains and railways on the main continent of the Eastern Continent are very broad, due to problems such as locomotives and residents' cognition, the utilization efficiency is not very high.

The matter of steel production capacity that Master Kong Ming talked about is also a very important issue..."

Qu Mao waved his hand again to stop the two of them from speaking, and said: "The residents' cognition can be considered later, but at the current stage, the enthusiasm of the residents and entrepreneurs for the development of our newly acquired independent territory in the northwestern region of the Eastern Continent far exceeds our initial enthusiasm. planning.

Because I think our steel industry is enough to support our railway construction plan to increase by more than ten times, although the current steel industry in the northwest region is mainly the voluntary behavior of residents.

If the holy land of King Yi's territory intervenes in the mining of metal mines in the northwest region, I think it will be no problem to double the steel production capacity in the northwest region. "

Xuande thought for a while and said, "My lord, since you said so, then I believe that the 12th year of Tianxuan will be a year for us to vigorously develop the railway in King Yi's territory."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, frowned and began to think about Qu Mao and Xuande's point of view.

Qu Mao continued: "Well, we can plan ahead.

As for the insufficient production capacity of locomotives and insufficient production capacity of passenger carriages and freight carriages, I think it is possible to build a large number of factories and quickly expand production capacity.

Especially for the cargo carriage and passenger carriage, there is not much production difficulty and complicated production process, just copy the factory directly, isn't the production capacity increased quickly?

As for the steam locomotive of the train, it is actually not too difficult. I think that on the one hand, it is possible to use reinforced concrete buildings to expand the production capacity of the Liandao Locomotive Factory. The locomotive factory can not even be limited to building only one train locomotive factory. "

Xuande thought for a while and said, "My lord, how about this, the expansion of the production capacity of the Liandao Locomotive Factory and the construction of the new train locomotive factory in the four islands of Southern Industry will be in charge of Mr. Meng De of the Ministry of Industry.

The subordinate is in charge of building a train locomotive factory with a military system on Jidao, mainly producing military train locomotives. What do you think?
As for the passenger carriages and cargo carriages, just copy the factory directly, and hand over all of them to the Ministry of Industry. "

Qu Mao nodded, and fully communicated with Kong Ming and Xuande on some issues he had thought about, exchanging opinions.

The three of them chatted for a full morning in the living room on the first floor of the Lord's Lodge. During lunch, the three of them ate together in the dining room on the first floor of the Lord's Lodge. While eating, they continued to exchange ideas about the railway planning of the Holy Land in King Yi's territory.

In the end, Qu Mao concluded: "Kong Ming, Xuan De, what we exchanged this morning, you should go back and find a time to discuss with Li Xiang.

At Tianxuan's 11th year-end summary meeting, if we really can't do it, we will set up a department in charge of railway construction and train transportation, let's call it the Ministry of Railways and Fire.

Starting in the 12th year of Tianxuan at the latest, we must vigorously speed up the construction of trains and railways, not only every island in the Holy Land of King Yi must be covered, but every independent territory in the Eastern Continent should be covered. "
