When Tang Feng and Chris and the three of them stepped off the train from the train station in Puerto Suarez accompanied by four bodyguards, as well as Fang Zewen and Chen Peng, the iron men, including the bears, all had blue faces.

"it, don't bring it like this! Old Fang, you have to have a treat tonight, and you must comfort our little body. This is your suggestion," Tang Feng rubbed his cheeks with a bitter face, and said to Fang Zewen, who had a calm face.

"Hehe, Mr. Tang, there is absolutely no problem with this, you just want to have a big health care, brother, I can find a place for you" Lao Fang's joking words immediately made Tang Feng laugh.

"I said Lao Fang, why don't you and Lao Chen have anything to do?" Seeing Lao Fang and Chen Peng getting out of the car calmly, as if they were not affected at all, Tang Feng was also very impressed.

From Santa Cruz to Suarez, 400 kilometers away, the train ran for 26 hours, with an average speed of just over 15 kilometers per hour

If this is in China, it is simply unimaginable. And the railways here are all narrow-gauge railways that are one meter wide, and the trains are swaying, which is not much better than riding a tractor. Tang Feng really can't imagine that there is such a railway in this world, no wonder before departure, Tian Peng's guy said that he would drive instead of taking the train, it turned out that this was prescient.

Fang Zewen said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, if you are like me, take such a train every day to walk a hundred and ten kilometers, you will not change your face for a while!" Chen Peng next to him smiled like a weasel that stole a hen.

"I've got you!" Tang Feng gestured to a big thumb brother and explained it to Chris. The three second generations immediately gave a thumbs up to Comrade Lao Fang.

A few people walked out of the train station while giggling, the hyenas and a few of them had been waiting outside for a long time while driving, Tian Peng even slept in the car, and the eye feces hanging in the corners of his eyes had not been wiped clean at this time.

During lunch, Tang Feng asked, "Old Fang, let's see if this section of the railway is built into an electrified double-track railway." How much does it cost per kilometer? ”

Fang Zewen has long been familiar with this railway. In fact, on this railway, the train is not so slow, the fastest time can reach a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, but no matter how fast it is, the main reason is that this railway is a single-track railway, the passenger car is running, it has to enter the station to stop, to make way for the whizzing trucks, which is just the opposite of the country. Before the construction of high-speed rail in China, trucks gave way to passenger cars, but here it is just the opposite. So I stopped and went, and it took only 26 hours to travel for 400 kilometers, which is an absolute cheat.

However, when stopping, they would always get off the carriage to watch the specific situation of the railway, so they walked down all the way. A rough estimate of the railway has long been made.

"Mr. Tang, this section of the railway is the best in the whole of Bolivia. Most of them are located in the plains, and there are not many rivers passing through, so if they are really built, the cost can be controlled within 20 million yuan per kilometer. However, I think it's better not to build an electrified railway, because Bolivia has a lot of hydropower, but if you want to build an electrified railway. The cost will undoubtedly increase a lot, and Bolivia has no shortage of oil, with the second-largest Caranda oil and gas field in South America near Santa Cruz. ”

"Then Lao Fang, let me ask you, if you don't build an electrified railway, can you guarantee that this double-track railway will use heavy-haul trains. Up to 70 million tons a year? ”

"Such a large volume?" Comrade Lao Fang was taken aback, and then looked at the big truck pulling iron ore whistling outside, Lao Fang seemed to understand something, pointed to the big truck that was going away and asked: "Mr. Tang, you want to renovate this railway for the iron ore here, right?" ”

Tang Feng nodded with a smile and said: "Lao Fang, I won't tell you anything, we plan to cooperate with the country to develop the Mutong iron mine, but because the transportation problem is not easy to solve, we came here to investigate on the spot, to see if there is any value in renovating the railway from Suarez through Santa Cruz and then south to Yacueva, because we plan to go to Buenos Aires through the Belgrano Railway in Argentina to load ships." Therefore, if this railway is renovated, what capacity can it achieve is the most critical issue we must consider, and it is also what the country is eager to know. ”

As soon as Tang Feng said this, Lao Fang felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy, but Lao Fang, as a technician, was quite confident in this kind of challenge.

At the moment, Lao Fang couldn't even take care of eating, so he took out paper, pens and calculators from his bag, and began to calculate in front of everyone. After more than ten minutes, Lao Fang raised his head and said: "Mr. Tang, if the 400-kilometer railway from Suarez to Santa Cruz is built into an electrified double line with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, the cost can be controlled at 20 million yuan per kilometer, and because the signal control of the electrified railway is far more advanced than that of ordinary railways, if the electrified railway is built, then it can be guaranteed that this railway can reach 100 million tons of transportation per year." ”

After a pause, Lao Fang continued: "If an ordinary railway is built, even if the design speed can reach 120 kilometers per hour, I am afraid it will not be able to complete the annual capacity of 70 million tons. Moreover, the terrain of the more than 300 kilometers south from Santa Cruz is more complicated than this section of the railway, and the details need to be carefully investigated. However, it is certain that only when that section of the railway is built into an electrified double line can it meet the annual traffic of 70 million tons. If you are to contact the Belgrano railway in Argentina that you just said, then according to what you just said, all the more than 700 kilometers of railways will be built into electrified double lines. Because Argentina's Belgrano Railway is currently undergoing an electrification of the double line, if it can be seamlessly integrated with the Belgrano Railway, the time to reach Buenos Aires will be much shorter. ”

Lao Fang's words made Tang Feng feel at ease, raised his beer glass with a smile, and said to Lao Fang: "Lao Fang, you have to work hard these days, and when we return to Santa Cruz tomorrow, we will continue to investigate the section of the railway from Santa Cruz to Yacueva, I need to get the most exact number at the end." If you can do a good job in your old house, I dare not guarantee anything else, at least I can guarantee that you Huagong International can win no less than 300 kilometers of projects!
