A large, peculiarly shaped plane is parked on a runway at Rhodou Royal International Airport waiting to take off. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said that this plane was peculiar because it was a real wide-body aircraft at this time. The delta wing and fuselage are about 60 meters long, but the width is about 10 meters, the fuselage is slightly square, and the nose is relatively wide.

That's very different from the airliner produced on Earth. More than a dozen heavily armed soldiers were guarding the plane, and no one was allowed to approach. A car drove directly to the vicinity of the plane. The person who got out of the car was none other than Zhuang Bifan.

This aircraft is his private jet, the only one of its kind in the world. And it was the Imperial soldiers who guarded the plane. Seeing him, the soldiers did not intercept, and after he boarded the plane, several soldiers were ordered by the squad leader to assemble, and then left in formation.

After Zhuang Bifan got on the plane, he walked into the spacious cabin. The cabin is spacious enough and has a layout that looks like an ordinary home. The eight-meter-high fuselage has the upper part of the gas storage filler, and the lower part is the luggage compartment. The middle is divided into two floors, each three meters high.

Although the cabin is more than 50 meters long, it is only 30 meters long and 10 meters wide as a living space. The two floors add up to 600 square meters of living space, which is completely comparable to the previous villa. The lower floor is a living room, a dining room, a meeting room, a study and two bathrooms, and a sport. The upper floor is dominated by bedrooms.

The cabin has a length of ten meters and is dedicated to transporting large cargo. Another 10 meters is dedicated to the activities of more than a dozen android bodyguards.

The living cabin is mainly decorated with logs, which looks quite simple. But in fact, these planks are all relatively precious wood sent from the Black Flame, wood that has the ability to absorb harmful substances and release substances with a condensing effect. Moreover, the whole fuselage is made of T5600 standard carbon fiber, which may not be able to penetrate even if the anti-aircraft missile hits directly. In addition, an anti-missile system was installed on the aircraft, and two laser emitting devices were installed. So, it's not just a passenger plane.

He had just entered the living module, and the android who followed him asked, "Mr. Zhuang, are you ready to take off immediately?" "Since he is a bodyguard, of course he can't be called a commander.

He nodded and said, "As long as the tower agrees, it can take off at any time." ”

The plane is equipped with a balance device, and even if the plane flies upside down, it will only feel like it is head-up. Therefore, the plane takes off and lands, and he does not need to fix the position.

The cyborg nodded, then walked out.

Zhuang Bifan's plane is privileged. The tower received the plane's application to take off and immediately arranged for it to take off first as soon as possible.

People outside will see the four-seater jet engine under the delta wing of the plane spewing out blue tailitis, the plane rushed forward like a fighter jet being ejected on an aircraft carrier, the huge fuselage quickly accelerated to a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, just less than 600 meters of taxiing, the tailitis suddenly intensified, and the plane left the ground at a large elevation angle.

In the plane, Zhuang Bifan was taking off his coat and making tea, and the rapid movement of the plane did not seem to have any inertia effect on it.

After taking off, the plane finally climbed to an altitude of 16,000 meters, dodging almost all of the convective air masses and flying westward at Mach 2. Radars along the way were tracking the plane. This is an order of the Imperial Government, and if Zhuang Bifan's plane flies in the airspace of the Empire, it must be monitored at all times.

Ming Ziluo had already made this clear to him, but Ming Ziluo's statement was because of his importance, so it was necessary to make sure that he was safe.

Regarding the other party's statement, Zhuang Bifan couldn't say anything.

Long Chau is less than 2,000 kilometers away from Tarim Farm Airport. The plane only takes a little over an hour to arrive. The plane quickly landed on a black runway cleared of snow. When landing, the glide was a little longer, but thanks to the wind resistance of the baffle and other braking devices, it only taxied for less than a kilometer before it came to a complete stop.

Under the lights of the airport, a sedan drove up. Zhuang Bifan came out of the plane just in time to see Sima Yun coming out of the car. He smiled and walked briskly down the gangway.

The two hugged for a while, and then he helped her tighten the fur scarf and said, "Is it cold?" ”

When Sima Yun breathed, his nose erupted with white mist, how could the temperature not be cold in the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero. But she looked up at her frozen, red face, shook her head, and said, "It's not cold." I was in the car all the time. ”

He took her hand and said, "Let's get in the car." As he spoke, he pulled her and forgot to get in the car.

The two got into the car one after another, closed the door, and kept the air conditioning on in the car, which made people feel like a change of season. Both of them took off their coats, and Zhuang Bifan asked the driver to drive home.

"I'm freezing on the mountain today!" Zhuang Bifan hugged the other party tightly. "Actually, you don't have to go there yourself." The high-speed railway leading to the west through the southern edge of the Tarim Basin opened to traffic today, and the North Railway held an opening ceremony near the mouth of the longest tunnel on the railway line. And there is more than 3,800 meters above sea level. In this winter, the temperature on the mountain can be imagined.

"It's not very cold either. It's just a little windy. Sima Yun said with a smile. You don't know that when the train rushes out of the tunnel, even though the railroad is protected by wind shields on both sides, there are several small tornadoes rolled up outside. The snow on the ground has rolled up to a height of several tens of meters. ”

"Although the project there is very commemorative, there is no need to hold an opening ceremony there. There, the sonic boom when the train comes out can be deafening. ”

It was a high-speed train traveling at 450 kilometers per hour, and the sonic boom caused by the difference in air pressure coming out of the tunnel was not small, and if the design was not right, the glass windows of the entire train might be shattered.

Sima Yun smiled and said, "It's really noisy." However, the design of the tunnel mouth is very reasonable, and the sonic boom is eliminated quite well. Although it can make people tinnitus, it is also very stimulating. It was like a series of artillery shots fired in quick succession. ”

Why is it being held there? That's because the tunnel that crosses the Pamirs is now the longest high-speed rail tunnel in the world, with a length of more than 200 kilometers, and it's a single tunnel. The width reaches twelve meters.

The length is not the difficulty of the construction of this tunnel, the difficulty is that in order to avoid some geological disaster areas, a continuous serpentine tunnel has been formed in this tunnel. Moreover, the altitude of the exit at one end is 3,800 meters, while the other end is only 2,500 meters. There are quite a few routes with different slopes in between.

Twelve wells were drilled along the entire tunnel line, and a total of 24 excavators worked underground at a depth of at least 300 meters at the same time, and finally all of them were docked, and none of them had an error of more than five centimeters.

Of course, that's because those excavators are so efficient. If you use the excavator produced by human beings themselves, I am afraid that we will not even be able to dig a tunnel in more than ten years. Now they have dug the tunnel in just three months, and then completed everything in less than three months, including laying the high-speed railroad tracks.

Although the geological survey data was provided by Aurora Island, it was almost never imagined that such a tunnel could be dug in half a year. Now, with the help of equipment and technical guidance provided by Aurora Island, human engineers have finally accomplished this feat.

Sima Yun broke free from his arms and sat down and said, "Now the three lines planned to the west are connected to the border, and several lines in Siberia can be repaired next summer." However, in the east, we have not made progress in negotiations on the two railway networks in the north and south, and their asking price is too high. Require the line to be operated by them. I wonder if we should let them dry for a while, negotiate with those countries in the west first, and open up the line between Europe and Africa? ”

Zhuang Bifan pursed his lips and said, "Now the development of the North Railway has exceeded my expectations, you don't have to work so hard." ”

Sima Yun smiled and said, "How can I be desperate? I'm a person who works for five days and takes most of the year off. She usually goes to Aurora Island on weekends and goes to the Black Flame Space to work out with him. That's why she said that. And Zhuang Bifan has been staying in the black flame space for most of the year to intensify his time and exercise. Almost everything here is Sima Yun watching for him. When Sima Yun also left, the androids would report the matter to Aurora Island at any time, and Aurora Island would inform them again.

The night was already very deep, the cold moon was slanting westward, and the moonlight was obliquely shining through the anti-fog floor-to-ceiling windows, sprinkled on a Zhuang Bifan. He stood motionless behind a floor-to-ceiling window, like a sculpture. But the faint red glow from a pair of eyes gave one a sense of danger.

Suddenly, the lights in the room turned on. Sima Yun's lazy voice sounded: "You woke up so early." ”

Zhuang Bifan blinked, the red light in his eyes disappeared, turned around and said with a smile: "I just woke up, and the reflection on the ground looks quite beautiful, so come and take a look." It's still early, you lie down again. ”

The temperature in the room was suitable, Sima Yun only put on pajamas and stepped barefoot on the carpet, walked over to his waist from behind and said, "Don't lie down." The effect of the exercise is that the spirit is indeed much better, but the days have grown a lot, and even the fun of sleeping has been lost. ”

The exercise they went to the Black Flame Space was indeed very effective, at least, their usual breathing patterns had been fixed according to the methods given by Black Flame, and it was easy to fall into a deep sleep when they slept. So now neither of them can sleep long. It was enough for her to sleep for more than three or four hours a day, and Zhuang Bifan woke up automatically after sleeping for two hours.

A wry smile flashed in Zhuang Bifan's eyes: "Actually, you can sleep lazy!" ”

"Then you stay with me!" Sima Yun said in a greasy voice.

Zhuang Bifan is a man, how can he not understand the invitation in these words? So he smiled and pulled the woman behind him with his backhand, picked him up and walked over to the bed.
