Chapter 219 Design Competition
Hearing Chu Jianghe say this, Liu Feng smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said: "Before I came, I met with Zhao Ju and talked about a lot of things, he talked to me and said, you propose to build a railway with an average speed of 160km/h from Shenzhen to Chutan?"
"There is such a thing, but to actually implement it, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Chu Jianghe nodded.
Even if the Ministry of Railways has Li Tianze's support, it may not be a problem to approve the railway, but the key is whether the Ministry of Railways will agree to let the Royal Design Institute not be used and use the newly built design institute of the Chutan Railway Bureau.
Therefore, it is not generally difficult for Chu Jianghe to win the design right of this railway, unless Chu Jianghe can come up with enough favorable evidence!
"There are difficulties for sure, as long as there is this determination, I think any difficulties can be overcome, if it is not for the new type of sleeper you designed, the speed of domestic trains, I don't know how many years, to break through 160km/h. Liu Feng sighed.
"Bureau Liu, do you think that a railway with an average speed of 160km/h should also be built?" asked Chu Jianghe tentatively.
"Xiu, why don't you repair, now the speed of foreign trains has far surpassed my country, if we don't work hard, we will be thrown farther and farther away by them!" Liu Feng said heavily.
As early as 1964, Japan's Tokaido Shinkansen achieved an average speed of 200km/h, how in the past nearly 30 years, the speed of domestic trains has exceeded 160km/h, which shows the big gap.
In fact, in the early stage of reform and opening up, the state did not pay attention to the speed of trains, but only paid attention to the construction of railways, and did not focus on the speed of trains.
The main reason, in addition to the lack of attention by national leaders, is also a big reason for the technical defects, which are limited by technology, resulting in the construction level of the railway, which has not been upgraded.
With the development of the domestic economy, Chu Jianghe believes that the country now has the strength to build a railway with a speed of 200km/h.
What Chu Jianghe wants to do now is to build a railway with an average speed of 160km/h first, as long as this head is opened, everything will be easy to do in the future.
Obviously, Liu Feng is also aware of this.
"I don't say anything else, the state builds railways every year, but once during the holidays and Spring Festival, it is difficult to find a ticket, and the existing railways cannot meet the country's allocation of material equipment. Liu Feng continued.
Insiders and outsiders may not know, but the people inside the railway, for the operation of the railway, quite understanding, the country has built a large number of railways, of which more than 70 percent are used for material transportation, and less than 30 percent are really used for passenger transport!
Even so, the construction of large-scale railways still cannot meet the transportation needs of domestic material equipment, and a very important reason is that the transportation speed of trains is too slow.
For the sake of today, increasing the speed of trains can greatly alleviate the deployment of domestic material equipment.
"In fact, the increase in the speed of trains has reached the point where it cannot be delayed! Chu Jianghe also sighed.
After being reborn, Chu Jianghe just wanted to make more money at first, but as the money slowly accumulated, Chu Jianghe felt more and more that he should use the ability of his previous life to do something for this parallel world!
How to promote the rapid development of the railway industry has always been what Chu Jianghe wants to do.
"Technology should not be a problem, such as trains and the like, for us, it may be more difficult, but we can't build it, you can buy it, the key is the construction of offline projects, we must master this aspect first, after all, there must be a first time, we need to come up with a railway, as a test section, and then learn lessons from this railway, for the future construction of fast railway, lay a solid foundation!" Liu Feng said.
As Liu Feng said, in the later construction of high-speed rail, especially in terms of high-speed rail carriages, the Ministry of Railways in the previous life, under the leadership of Liu Feng, relied on bidding for imported high-speed rail carriages.
Moreover, this kind of bidding, not the separate import of high-speed rail carriages, and the design drawings of the carriage construction, are bought together, so that the construction of high-speed rail trains in China has opened a huge opening and created a generation of high-speed rail!
For construction, Germany's technology is very strong, but it is impossible to adopt it in China, mainly because of the limited construction period.
In Germany, the construction period of a railway is rarely less than six years, such as the construction of the subgrade, which they may have completed in the first two years, and then put the subgrade there and settle it naturally for three years, and then carry out the construction in the fifth or even sixth year.
In this way, when the train is running, the settlement of the road base will be small, so that the impact on the speed of the train will be small.
In China, this construction method cannot be replicated, because it is impossible for you to finish the roadbed filling construction in China, and then put it there for three years, the ghost knows what will happen in these three years, and besides, the construction unit cannot afford it.
Therefore, how to make progress in the design can effectively ensure the speed of the train after the completion of the line is very important.
For this technology, only domestic design experts can explore and summarize by themselves.
"Bureau Liu, since you have talked to Bureau Zhao, you must have heard about the establishment of the Railway Design Institute with the Road Bureau. "Since they have all talked about this, Chu Jianghe did not continue to keep it.
"It's true, I just heard from Zhao Ju about the construction of the Railway Design Institute by you and the Road Bureau, so I came to you, I want to know, how sure are you about designing a railway with an average speed of 160km/h!" Liu Feng looked at Chu Jianghe with both eyes and asked seriously.
"Ninety!" Chu Jianghe said firmly.
Originally, Chu Jianghe wanted to say ten percent, but then after thinking about it, he still said ninety percent and left some room for himself!
When Liu Feng heard this, his expression was shocked, Liu Feng was at Zhao Zongrong's place before, Zhao Zongrong had said to Liu Feng that Chu Jianghe was eighty percent sure, Liu Feng still didn't believe it, he didn't expect that he would come to Chu Jianghe, and the other party directly said ninety!
And looking at Chu Jianghe's demeanor, it's not like nonsense.
"What about the design cost? If it is higher than the Third Survey and Design Institute, it is very likely that the Chutan Bureau will not adopt your design at that time. Liu Feng paused and continued to ask.
Even if it can be designed, the price is too high, and it is impossible for the Chutan Bureau to agree.
"Presumably Zhao Ju also told you, if the railway we designed is adopted, the average speed reaches 160km/h, and the budget needs to be increased by 50%!"
"If what you said is true, I will definitely highly recommend that you and the design institute set up by the Chutan Bureau design this railway from Shenzhen to Chutan City!" Liu Feng said.
"Bureau Liu, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations of me!" Chu Jianghe said lightly.
For Chu Jianghe, it is just a railway with an average speed of 160km/h, in fact, there is no pressure at all, but he can't be too relaxed.
After all, under the premise of promoting the development of the railway, Chu Jianghe should make more money if he can make more money.
"That's good, it seems that this trip is in vain!" Liu Feng laughed and said: "Before coming, Zhao Ju talked to me and said that he was going to let Boss Chu try it, as for the matter of the Railway Design Institute, the Ministry of Railways has also approved it, and it should come down soon, and then you may have to let the Railway Design Institute and the Third Survey and Design Institute have a design competition, you have to prepare in advance!"
Regarding the design competition that Liu Feng said, Chu Jianghe certainly knew what it meant, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you Liu Ju for reminding him!"
