Chapter 299 - Great Construction of Railways

The train driver boarded the train cab to prepare for the drive.

Cao Xinru asked Gao Junshan for instructions: "Mountain Chief, the time to start the train has arrived, you give an order!" ”

Gao Junshan raised a powerful hand and waved: "Let's go!" ”

With an order, the station master waved a small green flag, the train driver sounded the whistle, and the big iron wheel of the locomotive began to rotate slowly, driving the locomotive to move forward, and then, the back carriages were also driven, and the ten carriages moved forward rhythmically one by one with the sound of "ding dong, ding dong".

The moving locomotive honked again, and then accelerated and gradually moved away.

The platform was full of engineers who had worked hard for the train, and when they saw the train successfully drive out of the platform, their joy was indescribable, and they all shouted wildly:

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

Gao Junshan understands the mood of these engineers at this moment, and the fact that the train can move is the result of their wisdom. The "long live" shouted now means to cheer for victory, and it has nothing to do with the emperor.

The tracks and carriages of the train were made according to the standard dimensions of later generations, with a width of 1,435 mm and a carriage carrying 60 tons.

After the train arrived safely at its destination, it unloaded the reinforced concrete needed to build the fertilizer plant and immediately returned to Cam Ranh Bay Station.

Gao Junshan held a celebration banquet for the engineers, and after completing the development of the train, these elites will return to their respective research fields to engage in future research, which Gao Junshan and Cao Xinru agreed in advance.

After three days of trial operation, all the operating data were stable, and then the speed was increased to 40 kilometers per hour, and five freight cars were added.

Before completing the task, the engineers were about to go to their respective posts, and Gao Junshan gave them a ten-day class before that, mainly to teach about the theory of relativity, and at the same time to talk about how the plane went to space, hoping that they would make achievements in the field of aerospace.

The ten-day teaching time was soon over, and the engineers still wanted to learn more knowledge, so Gao Junshan divided them into five classes according to the research field they were involved in, including smelting, bridges, construction, electricity, and energy, and spent five days teaching each class for one day, and these students reluctantly left Cam Ranh Bay.

Gao Junshan handed over this important task to Cao Xinru, and promoted Cao Xinru to the second level, promoted to the deputy director of the Huaxia Railway Bureau, the right attendant of the Ministry of Labor, and the mayor of Cam Ranh Bay City.

On this day, Gao Junshan received a telegram from Bailisha, saying that Gao Guiying had died of illness in his hometown in Shaanxi. After Gao Junshan received the telegram, he sent a telegram to Empress Han Yuyan, asking her to go to Shaanxi on his behalf.

Although Gao Guiying is not his cousin, but etiquette is to be enough, since the anti-corruption campaign arrested Niu Jinxing's son, the General Affairs Bureau reported to Gao Junshan, Li Zicheng's subordinates will be in a commotion, now that Gao Guiying has died, Gao Junshan must do a good job of pacifying, lest someone use the funeral to make trouble.

Gao Junshan appointed Liu Hongru as the director of the Huaxia Railway Bureau, and began large-scale railway construction across the country. He instructed that within a year, one million railway workers should be recruited to lay railways in all areas, starting from major cities.

With Beijing as the center, the Beijing-Shanghai Railway (Beijing-Shanghai), Beijing-Hong Kong Railway (Beijing-Hong Kong), Beijing-Haihai Railway (Beijing-Vladivostok), Beijing-Jinjin Railway (Beijing-Cam Ranh Bay), Beijing-Yangyang Railway (Beijing-Yangon), Beijing-West Railway (Beijing-Xichang), Beijing-Ukraine Railway (Beijing-Ulaanbaatar), and Beijing-Bushehr Railway (Beijing-Bushehr) were established, a total of eight railway lines.

The Beijing-Shanghai Railway does not need to be explained, it is the Beijing-Shanghai Railway of later generations.

The Beijing-Hong Kong Railway is a railway line that was extended from the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway to Hong Kong.

The Jinghai Railway is the railway line that extended from the Beijing-Harbin Railway to Vladivostok in later generations.

The Gyeong-Kim Railway is the railway from the capital to Cam Ranh Bay.

The Jingyang Railway is the railway from the capital to Yangon.

The Jingxi Railway is the railway from Beijing to Xichang, and this Xichang is not the launch base of later generations, but the Xichang of Xijiang.

The Beijing-Ubraatar Railway is a railway line from the capital to Ulaanbaatar, which is also an up-and-coming city and is now the capital of the Mongolian province.

The Beijing-Bu Railway is a transnational railway, a railway from China to the Persian Kingdom, and its end point is Bushehr, where the Persian Combined Fleet is stationed, Bushehr is still a small town, and Huaxia has rented this place to build a large freight terminal here to build Bushehr into a prosperous port city.

These eight railway lines connect the east, west, north and south of Huaxia.

Gao Junshan made the greatest determination to build these eight railway lines as fast as possible, and one million railway workers have never been done before, and the number of workers in one industry exceeds the number of the entire country's army, and if these million railway workers are organized into an army, they can completely crush any neighboring country.

Gao Junshan ordered Liu Hongru to build the railway as soon as possible, build it one by one, build one section after another, build one section and open to traffic, and the railway construction should be in full bloom, and the eight lines should start construction at the same time.

In order to support the construction of railways, the military industry will make way for the industry, and the industries of the whole country must give priority to railway construction, and steel must be given priority to the railways, and capital and technology will also be biased towards railway construction, so as to ensure that the eight railway lines of the country will be fully put into operation within five years.

After the eight lines are completed and opened to traffic, the railway construction in Xi'an, Chengdu, Kunming and other places will be considered.

……

After the opening of the first train, the second train in Cam Ranh Bay was also put into operation, this train was 100 kilometers away to Rang Village, which is a small town, and the railway station was built in Rang Village because it is a distribution center for Cochin rice, and it is a transportation artery leading to several large grain-producing areas.

The train to Rang Village has a total of 12 carriages, two of which are passenger carriages, which departs at 10 a.m. every day and runs for two and a half hours, returning to Cam Ranh Bay at 3 p.m.

Gao Junshan decided to take the train himself to see what else was worth improving.

On this day, he and Li Derong dressed up as businessmen and came to the waiting room of Cam Ranh Bay Railway Station.

They need to buy the tickets themselves, and the stationmaster has already prepared the tickets, and Gao Junshan is just here to experience the feeling of riding the train.

When they came to the waiting room, a place that could accommodate thousands of people, now there are only more than 20 people waiting for the train, and these people are allowed to enter the waiting room after strict selection, and they all have to take the train to let the people in the government office of the village do things, not ordinary people.

At 9:40, the ticket inspectors began to check the tickets, and Gao Junshan lined up in a decent way to wait for the ticket inspection.
