In terms of the geographical location of Luohai City, it is very urgent to build a bridge across the Luo River, but it is really difficult to build a bridge across the river in this place, so as to connect the north and south banks of the Luo River.

Because the Luo River in this area is too wide.

Luohai City is just at the mouth of the Luo River, and if you cross the river from Luohai City to the east bank of the Luo River, you have to cross more than 20 kilometers of the river......

More than 20 kilometers, this is not a river, but a sea, standing on the river and looking at the opposite side, you can't see the other side of the river......

Although there are also some islands in the middle of the river that can be used as a transition to reduce the difficulty of construction, it is still impossible to do so with the current technical conditions.

Therefore, after Lin Ziran mentioned it slightly, he simply dispelled this idea after inquiring about the relevant technical questions.

If you want to build a bridge at the mouth of the Luo River to connect the two banks of the Luo River, this difficulty is not much different from directly building a cross-sea bridge, or wait for the further development of technology in the future.

As for now, let's rely on the ferry first!

In the past ten years, with the construction of railways in all parts of Daheng, railway traffic is becoming more and more important, and then there is a problem of railways across rivers, some small and medium-sized rivers, even if it is a few hundred meters wide, it is not a big problem, just build a steel bridge.

To this end, in the past ten years, the Daheng Empire has successively built more than 20 steel bridges with a span of more than 200 meters, many of the front are designed and constructed by foreign companies, and then slowly designed and constructed by themselves, the longest of which is the Luohe Bridge in Quyang Prefecture.

Its frontal span has reached more than 800 meters!

However, because this is already located in the middle and upper reaches of the Luo River, although it is still necessary to ensure the navigation of ships, it is not necessary to say that it is necessary to ensure the navigation needs of tens of thousands of tons of sea vessels, so it only needs to meet the navigation needs of ordinary inland river vessels.

However, in many places, especially in the lower reaches of the Luo River and the Jing River, the river surface is several kilometers away, so the freighter ferry train was used to directly connect the train.

In the early days, the related equipment was imported from the Krull Kingdom, and later the Daheng Empire researched and copied the train ferry itself, which greatly reduced the cost and began to be widely used.

Nowadays, a lot of the trains in Luohai City cross the river directly by train ferry, although this thing is a little troublesome, but it is better than nothing.

However, if possible, it is better to build a bridge across the river.

It is not very reliable for Luohaicheng to build the Shuluo River Bridge here, but it is possible to build a Jinghe Bridge on the Jingzhou side.

Although the current technology is still a little worse, it is almost the same to work hard, after all, the natural environment conditions over there are relatively mature.

Jingzhou is still more than 80 kilometers away from the mouth of the Jing River, and although the surface of the Jing River in this section is four or five kilometers wide, the narrow place is only more than 2,000 meters.

In addition, because it is a little far away from the sea, the net height requirements for the bridge are not too high, at least not like the Nanhe Bridge in Luohai City, which spans the Luohai city area, and there are often large-tonnage sea vessels coming and going, and the net height requirements for the bridge are very high.

But on the Jingzhou side, although there are still many large-tonnage sea ships, and even tens of thousands of tons of battleships will sometimes go all the way down the Jinghe River and arrive in Jingzhou, but Jingzhou is generally the end point of large-tonnage sea ships.

In the Jinghe River Basin, from Jingzhou to the mouth of the sea, this section of the Jinghe River is the downstream, the navigation capacity is extremely good, the water depth of the main channel is more than 10 meters, and there is nothing to worry about the battleships with normal navigation of more than 10,000 tons.

And Jingzhou to the north, its navigable capacity began to gradually decline, Jingzhou to Fengyang this section, the water depth of the main channel is only about eight meters, as for further north all the way to Zhenbei City, that is already the middle reaches of the Jinghe River, the navigation capacity is relatively poor.

Based on the navigable capacity of the Jing River, and also considering the important economic and political status of Jingzhou, the terminal of the ships entering and leaving the Jing River is generally in Jingzhou, and very few large-tonnage sea vessels will go all the way along the Jing River to the north, so the risk of running aground is too great.

Therefore, if the new bridge is built in the north of Jingzhou, then the demand for navigable net height will drop significantly.

Theoretically speaking, with the current technical conditions, it is fully capable of building a bridge across the river in Jingzhou.

Not to mention the demand, Jingzhou is the core railway hub of the Daheng Empire, and it is the central meeting point of the national railway network, and there are a lot of trains coming and going.

In order to meet the demand for train traffic, the train ferries in Jingzhou are also the largest in number and the largest in scale.

If a railway bridge can be built to connect the north and the south, it will be of great significance to improve the operation of the railway network.

In addition, it will be easier for ordinary people to cross the north and south banks of Jingzhou.

Gyeongju, like many cities, can only focus on developing one side because of the Jinghe River.

Jingzhou is located on the west bank of the Jing River, the main urban area is on the west bank, and the east bank across the river, although it is said that it has also developed, but it is still too slow.

If there is a bridge connecting the two sides of the strait, it will play a huge role in promoting the development of the east coast, so as to further promote the healthy and orderly development of the real city.

So after inspecting the bridge on the side of Luohai City, Lin Ziran instructed his officials to see if they could build a bridge in Jingzhou to pass the train, and at the same time, it was best to have the passage of carriage personnel.

After listening to this, the officials under him also began to convene relevant technical personnel for a detailed discussion, as for whether it can be repaired in the follow-up and when it will be repaired, it is a follow-up matter.

Lin Ziran put down this matter for the time being and continued his trip.

After inspecting ordinary industrial and commercial affairs, Lin Ziran inspected a number of key enterprises, mainly the Luohai Iron and Steel Company, the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, and the Luohai Shipyard.

Luohai Iron and Steel Company is the largest steel company in the Daheng Empire, and the technology is advanced, the company can provide a large number of steel products in the general civilian field, but also provide a large number of industrial and military steel products, such as ship armor steel and other types of special steel.

However, on the whole, although Luohai Iron and Steel Company's production capacity is larger and even the cost is lower, it is actually inferior to Jingzhou Iron and Steel Company in cutting-edge fields.
