Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

After Changtian Technology stopped the demonstration, everyone returned to the press conference in the virtual world. The feelings just now were instantly cleared away, and everyone took a big breath as if they had been reborn.

"What a loss! Changtian Technology is too bad!"

"As expected, the main focus is reality. This is so real! The demonstration is really good. Don't do it again next time!"

"Ugh! I never want to eat leeks in my life! I never thought that people in big cities look so glamorous but have so many hardships behind them."

"I'd better lie down slowly in my little place for the rest of my life. If any of you want to roll up, you can do it."

Everyone commented one after another, and Chen Xiao couldn't stop smiling. What he wants is your reaction. Otherwise, why would it appear that it is necessary to control the channels?

Shen Wei, Wen Qi, Qu Ping and others covered their faces with one hand. Chen Xiao's move was indeed sinister. He said he wanted to show everyone the pain of long-distance commuting, but he didn't expect it to be this way.

The virtual world can give people a real feeling. It is simply a matter of adjusting the data. It is not difficult to do now.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Let's continue. Forget about the unpleasant feeling just now, otherwise you will be in a bad mood. But many people have to go through this kind of experience every day.

First-tier cities and even second-tier cities are in this situation. Xia State's 300 million people have been living like this for a long time.

High housing prices are an important reason. Not everyone can afford to buy a house close to their workplace. Even renting a house is a big burden. This problem has existed since ancient times

. In fact, it is not realistic for everyone who works to have a house to live nearby. Just think about it, the place where the company is located must be a business district, so that it is convenient for office work, various industries, and colleagues to do things conveniently, which best meets the needs of cost and efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the residence and company areas.

Secondly, the speed of the train is also an important reason. From a vehicle perspective, the existing train acceleration method is still electric acceleration, but the efficiency is not high. It is difficult to accelerate to the maximum speed in a very short time, and too much time is wasted on acceleration.

The final problem is that the solution is either not available or too difficult.

Build a few more lines and add a few more trains, and the problem will indeed be solved. But route planning is a huge problem. At present, land is at a premium in big cities, and it is unrealistic to place lines in the center of the city, as there is no extra space. If the lines are planned to the outskirts of big cities, then what's the point of taking buses after getting off the train?

So...focus! Then we can only modify the existing routes and increase the transport capacity to meet everyone's needs! This is the purpose of the discipline train! "

Pictures of control channels and special trains were displayed on the screen in a timely manner. The highly technological pictures shocked everyone.

“Controlled trains have three advantages and can perfectly solve everyone’s needs, mainly in three aspects.

First of all, in terms of time. The speed of the control train was extremely fast, with a maximum speed of 4,000 kilometers per hour. Later, taking into account the human body's endurance and the existing deceleration methods, the speed was reduced to 3,000 kilometers per hour.

Even so, the average speed easily exceeded 2,500 kilometers per hour, reaching it in an instant.

The longer the distance between stations, the greater the speed advantage of controlled trains.

Let's do this for now, we can't blindly accumulate speed, otherwise the human body will be overloaded too high, and few people can bear it. In the future, with better means of reducing stress, the speed will be even faster! "

Everyone's heart is itching. Working at this speed means you have a lot more time to sleep, which is so refreshing. We have read speculations on the Internet before, but now that we have Chen Xiao's personal confirmation, everyone is more confident.

"Secondly, in terms of space, the advantages of tube bundle channels are very obvious. As the speed increases, there is no need for so many railways. The original railways do not need to be demolished and can be used for emergency use. During peak periods, , just supplement the transport capacity, this is no longer discussed. It just means that the existence of tube channels can effectively reduce the number of railway lines. Under the premise of the same transport capacity, the number of tube channels is only one-sixth of the original number."

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!"

Everyone had nothing to say, only these interjections were left, and no coherent sentences could be uttered.

"Don't get excited. Let's talk about money again. I know you are most concerned about this."

Sure enough, when money was mentioned, everyone's attention was instantly focused. This issue was not only concerned by ordinary people, but also those in relevant departments were even more concerned.

"So, the last point is the cost. Preliminary estimates show that the cost of our tube bundle channel is one-tenth of the same distance, and it will be even lower after the technology is improved in the future.

At present, the cost per kilometer of my country's high-speed rail is about 150 million yuan, while the cost of the subway is even higher, involving earthwork construction, which should be about 450 million yuan.

But these are not problems for tube channels. The high-strength pipeline allows it to withstand huge pressure. Under the same circumstances, the requirements for construction are actually not high. That's why the cost is so low.

In addition, the source of tube bundle channel materials is relatively cheap, which reduces costs on this layer. The controlled train is suspended, and the requirements for the guide rails are not high. It only needs to be energized and able to block the train at critical moments, and the cost of this aspect is also reduced. "

"Fuck!"

Before Chen Xiao finished speaking, everyone present jumped up. This person was the leader of the Xia State Transportation Agency. Who could sit still after hearing this amount? Even as mature as he is, he has lost his sense of proportion.

Seeing the surprised looks from everyone, he had to pretend to tidy up his clothes, and then slowly sat down. The scene has already begun to buzz with discussion, and the Internet is buzzing with comments.

"Don't worry, everyone, we haven't finished the calculation yet! What I just talked about is just the construction cost. There are also daily operating costs. For example, the cost of the train will be higher than the original train because it needs to withstand the terrifying electromagnetic force. , but we have modified the process to distribute the weight evenly to the entire car body instead of concentrating it on the bottom of the train, so the cost has been reduced.

Daily wear and tear will also be reduced a lot. In the past, trains would rub against the rails, and replacement of undercar parts, maintenance, and replacement of railways would cost a lot of money.

The tube train is suspended and will not suffer much wear at all. It only needs to be sprayed and replenished with normal temperature superconducting materials regularly. The cost of this piece should also be one-tenth.

Furthermore, high-speed trains and subways were driven by electricity in the past, but this was not efficient and wasted a lot of electricity. With room-temperature superconducting materials, it means that there is no waste of electricity at all. Don’t underestimate the electricity bill, it is the largest operating cost. The cost of this piece should be less than one-eighth.

I can guarantee that in the future, the fare per kilometer will be very low, and it will be very popular. Changtian Technology will not only set up control channels in big cities to improve urban traffic conditions, but also build control channels in every town and even every town. Every village, every community, completely solves the last mile problem.

This will not be too difficult for Changtian Technology. Once it is popularized, it will conduct statistics on passenger flow and arrange trains based on real-time conditions. "

I'm numb, everything is numb. I can't calculate this account over and over again. I understand every word and every data, but when I put it all together, I don't have the basic concept. How much money can I save by riding a horse? ?

Who will do the math for me? There are both dynamic and static ones, and people are all confused, but everyone has the most basic concept, that is, managing channels is very economical! The cost is very low compared to existing train methods!

Some expert teams have already begun to calculate how much they can save in one year, how much they can save in two years, how many years it will take to repay the capital, how much economic growth they will drive, and how much convenience they will provide. There are economic accounts to be settled, population welfare accounts to be settled, and even social significance accounts to be settled.

"If you haven't calculated it yet, let me tell you straight away. A conservative estimate is that the construction cost is one-tenth of the original, and the overall operating cost is one-eighth of the original. After all, it has not been put into operation yet, everything is Estimate. We can definitely operate healthily and achieve profitability."

Chen Xiao's last words were like a bomb, triggering everyone's discussion. Chen Xiao had been speaking just now, but no one could concentrate on thinking more, for fear of being distracted and missing important information. Now Chen Xiao took a "timely" drink of water and rest, giving everyone time to use their brains to give feedback.

I don’t want to know this, but the more I think about it, the more shocked I am, especially those company CEOs who have experienced or have high-speed rail or subway projects on hand. They feel their throats are dry and have to drink a lot of water before they have the energy to think.

High-speed rail and subway projects cost a lot of money, and whoever develops them has to bear high debts. Urban investment companies and local banks may not be able to support them. In many cases, they have to ask the provincial level for resources.

It is impossible to pay back the cost of something built at such a huge price, not even in this lifetime. The purpose of building it is to take into account the investment effect during construction and drive economic attributes such as employment and consumption, just like Roosevelt's water conservancy project during the Great Depression in the United States.

So the poorer you get, the more you want to build a subway to stimulate the economy, but the financial pressure is too great. Who will lend money to a poor place? Coupled with factors such as population, income, and taxation, it is not easy for the superiors to give opportunities to projects. This leads to the fact that convenient things like subways can only be the product of a few cities.

But now! Someone said! So cheap to build! Still profitable! The prerequisite is to build it in the village! Come on, someone give me two slaps to wake me up! Otherwise I would have to keep using exclamation points to express my surprise!

The quick-thinking boss has already begun to calculate the materials on hand and calculate the cost of converting to long tube channels. The more conservative ones start planning to sell off the materials on hand, while the more extreme bosses are already calculating liquidated damages. This is really cruel.

For a while, I couldn’t make up my mind about this kind of thing. Chen Xiao didn’t give everyone much time. The press conference had to continue.

"Let everyone experience the real train control scene." Chen Xiao waved his hand and the screen switched directly to the South African venue. Wang Xiang showed a professional smile and took over the scene.

"Now I will take you on a disciplined train journey. The total journey is 500 kilometers and there are five stops in the middle. Please take a seat and be sure to fasten your seat belts!"

Everyone was in the train at this time. After they finished, they fastened their seat belts and had a protective ring similar to a bungee jump. Everyone's heart was tight and they didn't know what it was like.

The train has been renovated, and without station tickets, the traditional method is no longer suitable.

"Let's go!" As Wang Xiang spoke, everyone instantly felt a strong push on their backs. Fortunately, their backs were soft enough and it wasn't uncomfortable.

Twenty seconds later, the speed of the car quickly stabilized. After traveling for more than two minutes, the car began to slow down, and everyone involuntarily tilted forward. Fortunately, the protective circle was soft enough, so it was not uncomfortable.

These seats are also specially made, designed and manufactured by Changtian Technology Materials Department specifically for tube channel trains.

"The first stop is here. Everyone can get off the bus if they want. The time limit is two minutes. The door closes ten seconds early." Wang Xiang continued to explain.

"What the hell? You've traveled a hundred kilometers? I haven't realized it yet!"

The train started again and soon arrived at the next station.

Five hundred kilometers, including the starting station, there are a total of six stations and five sections, which takes 20 minutes. It takes ten minutes to get on and off the train, and the rest is the actual running time.

At the end of this journey, everyone is still in a daze. Is this the end of the horse?

If it was an affair, the wife would come back to catch him before the foreplay was over.

After getting off the train, the scene changed back to the main venue in Nagasawa. This is the benefit of biochips and wearable devices. It feels real and the scene changes quickly, which is much better than dry video demonstrations.

"F*ck! It's so fast! This way, I don't have to go home at ten o'clock every day! I also live in Jicheng, and my parents help me line up. Doing this every day, there is no sense of living, and there is no point in living. .”

"Everyone, please pay attention. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com South Africa has set up a station for 100 kilometers. If the distance between Beijing and Shanghai is like this, then we will be able to reach the station in a few minutes. It's so cool! This One hundred kilometers is indeed an embarrassing distance. Changtian Technology is really considerate and everything is designed according to domestic conditions."

"Why should I fly in the future? It's so fast, the fare is cheap, and it's safe."

“Why isn’t such a good thing placed in China as soon as possible?”

"Shut up. I heard that Changtian Technology proposed it, but Suhang City rejected it, saying it was a new thing and had not been tested."

"This is too nonsense. Haven't Changtian Technology's experiments been done for everyone to see? According to the performance of high-speed rail and subway that far exceeds the existing ones, why don't they use horses to control the passages?"

"The weather is so nice today..."

Chen Xiao gave everyone three minutes to digest what they had just experienced, and then spoke: "Everyone, I would like to share some of Changtian Technology's plans here."

Everyone fell silent instantly.
