Ahead, a silver-gray line appeared in front of you, this is the highway under construction, the surrounding is crowded with construction personnel, a small number of them are employees of the highway company, using various road construction equipment, in the intense construction, the rest, most of them are to select the remaining tenants, the requirements for them are not high, that is, some digging, digging ditches and the like, this highway, is a model road, Yang Yuanzhao finally decided to place fences on both sides of the road, and then at a specific intersection, there will be a downward passage, can pass through the guò passage, cross the road, in general, is not crossed.

Baotou here, the land is vast and sparsely populated, but it is not completely unmanned, many places, the traces are still relatively dense, a road passed over, more or less will have an impact, but for the sake of safety and speed, in the end, it is still done like this, closed roads and open roads, traffic capacity and carrying capacity, are completely different things.

After weighing for a long time, Yang Yuanzhao finally decided to close the road, so that in order to increase some opportunities, the fixed thick barbed wire fence from the all-in-one machine also needs people to be fixed to the land one by one, such work, even in the later generations, can not rely on the machine, can only use labor, which more or less alleviates the problem of the number of labor in cash-for-work, but more than 300 kilometers of roads, at least a few thousand people can be used.

When Yang Yuanzhao went quickly in the direction of Suiyuan, in another section from Baotou to Taiyuan, the winding carriage, with no end in sight, the four families, including several Jin merchants who later joined, at the end of the year, the caravan was basically inactive.

This is different from the afterlife, which is extremely rich in matter. At the end of the year, they buy a lot of things. The New Year's supplies of large families are prepared a month in advance. Zhuanghu families, or poor people, although they will use the money they have easily saved to buy some New Year's goods, but it is not easy for poor peasants to survive. Just make a good New Year's meal, so for the caravan, the New Year's Festival is the most idle time, and the same is true for the northern country in November, not all of them have stopped, but most of them have returned.

A large number of idle caravans were pulled over by various families to transport these machines and equipment. The cost of a trip is not too high, compared with the business, it is a lot less, but it is better to continue. It takes a week to go back and forth, and you can go back and forth four times a month, with an average of one trip. In addition to the cost, you can earn about 7 yuan, which adds up to a lot. It's also a very objective gain, besides. As long as there is a car, a carriage master, and as for the guards, there are other people who are in charge, which is a relatively sustainable income.

About 200 foreigners, either technicians, or engineers, or university lecturers, even if they are not very happy, the prepaid salary is enough to make them well-dressed, so that the line, whether on the cruise ship, or in Shanghai, on the train, all look so decent, but in this wasteland full of natural atmosphere, it seems so out of place, the yellow sand blowing all over the sky, the whole person has become disgraced.

The United States is a free nation, itself is a country of immigrants, the people have not yet formed that unified feeling, Taiyuan, the desolate land, so that the people who were full of hope before, their hearts are cold, they also know that the Qing country is a poor place, but poverty is like this, more or less unacceptable, but the one who has not received any influence is Truss, who seems to be immersed in his own world, and during the journey, he did not pay attention to the outside.

200 foreigners, occupying almost 50 carriages, this time the people who came over, basically have a bit of status, can not be casually stuffed into the carriage, a carriage of four or five, is wide and generous, of course, Harpy and Truss, the two of them, is to enjoy the right to a single carriage.

Harpy sat in the carriage, his eyes looked out, but his eyes were not focused, obviously he was out of the world, half a year, completed a circle around the earth, controlled hundreds of millions of wealth, and now most of them have been replaced by machines and equipment, after returning to China, tungsten has been exported twice in a row, and the funds are either placed in Germany, the acquisition of some machine equipment, or the shortage of raw materials in Baotou, or directly remitted to the United States, European and American powers, financial circulation, it is so convenient, much stronger than in China.

Every time I come to Baotou, I feel the blockage of Baotou, the most important factor of traffic, is the most lacking place in Baotou, I heard that Baotou is building roads, I don't know what it will become, the young boss, seems to be particularly wise, in the world, nothing can be difficult to get him.

Because he wants to go deep into the interior of China, the last time he came to Harpy, he knows very well how closed China's inland is, and he will suffer a lot along the way, he also gave up, he didn't want his wife and children to suffer, and temporarily left Anna and the children in Shanghai, Anna was still a little unhappy, or he bought a garden house in Shanghai and stayed in the name of decorating the family.

Stayed with Anna, as well as the students and lecturers sent by Smith, 10 in the early stage, and more than 30 in this batch, they will build a large chemical laboratory in Shanghai with the help of Shanghai Demei, all the practical equipment, has been occupied, most of them are coming with the cruise ship, a small number are still in production, will be sent later, Demei also purchased a building, just by the Huangpu River, with the prosperity of Shanghai and the environment of the concession, all the researchers, are relatively satisfied, Scientists, as long as they have a quiet environment and real equipment, they both have it, and they are well paid, of course, they are very satisfied.

At that time, when Smith was left, many people were still a little fluctuating, but unfortunately unlike Smith, other workers, researchers and engineers, they were the talents that Baotou urgently needed, and the contracts were much harsher, most of them would get three months' wages before leaving the United States, and then signed a contract in the name of the company for about 2 years, that is, within two years, no matter where, as long as their lives were not directly threatened, they could not leave casually

It seems that they have to endure hardship, this is the idea of most people, workers are a little easier, they work everywhere, for the current environment in the United States, they can find jobs, and the basis of wages is not low, it is the same there, but those engineers and university lecturers who have been fooled have more or less different expressions, this place, is there a place for them to work, don't do any kind of work.

Departing from Taiyuan, among the carriages together, there are piles of sealed things, Harpy himself does not pay much attention, but the number of carriages in this batch is too much, by the time of the lunch break, he went to take a look, on the tight package, saw some German, obviously, this is ordered in Germany, casually looked, he smiled, it was really a coincidence, the package he saw, nothing else, it was the high-pressure closed container ordered in the Technical University of Berlin, the terrible research ability of the Technical University of Berlin, Haber's understanding of high-pressure closed containers, coupled with Germany's strong industrial processing capabilities, makes this closed container, in accordance with the design standards, very good.

Now, 10 sets have been completely completed, along with the ship and railway, transported to Baotou, the German side, has taken into account in advance that the closed container is too large, the use of a combined type, in this way, the pressure of the closed container is a certain degree dù, can not reach a higher range dù, but it is convenient to transport, perhaps this is a humane consideration, or perhaps the German side, left a hand, so that higher technology, will not be exposed

All over the Yellow Sand Plateau, more and more desolate, American workers, from the United States, a country that has completed industrialization, the United States also has a lot of desolate places, even the west, and the north, has not been thoroughly developed, or the original ecological structure, but where, but there is no industry, transportation and resources, is the basis of industrial development, with this, it may not necessarily be developed, but without this, it must be nothing.

Nervous, in the continuous hurry, by the harsh environment to rub the slightest, when is this road a head, the carriage keeps moving, the day is gone, the bones are going to fall apart, to the place, the night has already fallen, to the end of the sleep, sleep until dawn, they don't even know where they are.

In the midst of the shaking, the third day's itinerary began, different from the previous two days, there was a wilderness around, there was nothing, today, there was a lot more scenery.

The official road from Suiyuan, almost relying on the newly built cement road, is 100 meters away from the official road, and the current cement road has begun to partially pave cement, which is completely different from the desolate wilderness scenery, immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially some construction engineers, and even wanted to get out of the car to observe it personally.

14 meters wide cement road, look at the thickness of the cement, really a lot, such a road, in Europe can also be called the main road, in northwest China such a barren place, there is such a large cement road project, at a glance can not see the end, at least dozens of kilometers, it seems, Baotou may not be as they think so barren.

Harpy also saw those cement roads, he was different from these amazing people, he communicated with Yang Yuanzhao guò information, he knew this cement road, this is the beginning of the change of traffic in Baotou, and he also deeply believes it.

In the distance, there was a roar, Harpy raised his head and saw a strange team of motor vehicles, which were coming quickly here, the chassis he was familiar with, it was a tractor, when he set off in Taiyuan, he had contacted Yang Yuanzhao with the help of a messenger, and he would send someone to greet him, wouldn't it be this, it didn't look like a small vehicle, could it fit so many people?
