Zhan Tianyou was silent, but his eyes were full of excitement, Yang Yuanzhao patted Zhan Tianyou's shoulder and said, "How is it, Engineer Zhan, I feel satisfied!" ”

"Satisfied, I didn't expect there to be a machine!" Zhan Tianyou said with a smile on his face: "If President Yang gives me this group of people, I promise that I will complete all the plans of these railways in one and a half years at most!" "Railway, not only laying tracks, but also a lot, such as bridges, stations, and some places of intersection, these all take time, one and a half years, which is already a lot of time, in this case, Zhan Tianyou still left a certain margin.

"Of course, of course, these machines are given to you, and the personnel are also given to you, not them, it is the same group as them, and there are 30 teams, and with the laying of the railway plan, there will be more personnel in the future." Yang Yuanzhao waved his hand and said, "Just do your best!" ”

Zhan Tianyou was stunned for a moment, 30 teams, these people can skillfully manipulate machinery, in foreign countries, they can no longer use workers, they should be some kind of engineers, a certain number of dù, should get a relatively high salary, in his opinion, the industry in the northwest is developed, after all, the background is relatively small, in such a long time, can train 300, it is already good, but did he hear it wrong, 30 teams, that is, close to 10,000 people.

In the case of all aspects, with 30 teams of people, 450 kilometers can be laid in one day, and such a 4,500-kilometer railway, at most, 10 days, less than 1 month, is this possible? Zhan Tianyou opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start. Purely the railway itself, this is entirely possible, even if it is a road and bridge, I have seen the strength of the prefabricated parts factory, plus Baotou's almost massive manpower. It doesn't seem to be much of a problem either.

Yes, it's really no problem, Zhan Tianyou was just frightened by his own idea at first, a year and a half to build 4,500 kilometers of railway, or a high-standard trunk railway, heavy rail railway. Speaking of which, others may think that he is crazy, but he really has to think about it seriously, and there is really nothing impossible, all the preliminary preparations are in place. The steel mill produced 100,000 tons of rails, and after half a month, the training of workers and the new completion of the blast furnace made it take half a month to produce nearly 40,000 tons of rails, which are not the previous 37 kg standard, but the 42 kg standard.

Of course, a large number of sleepers are indispensable, after Zhan Tianyou recognized the quality of those sleepers. In the days that followed, the prefabricated parts factory, almost overtime, produced a large number of prefabricated parts, and the first and second batches of expanded production were completed. In total, there are more than 700,000 roots, which are about 1,700 and -1,800 per kilometer. These are enough to support the construction of more than 400 kilometers of railways in the next 15 days. There will be 7 million sleepers to be completed, which is almost enough to support the construction of the entire first phase of the project, that is, the railways from Baotou to Zhangjiakou and Datong to Taiyuan.

Baotou has a cement plant of more than one million tons, plus steel bars from the steel plant, the production of cement sleepers is basically not a problem, and the prefabricated parts factory has invested almost all its energy in the production of this, and the sleepers do not need to wait. Not to mention the rails, the storage of 100,000 tons of rails, coupled with the crazy output and the proportion of continuous inclination, laying the railway, there is almost no problem, the only problem is the road and bridge, Zhan Tianyou was about to raise the question about the railway bridge, but was preemptively said by Yang Yuanzhao: "I know, the restriction of the railway, in addition to the laying of sleepers and rails, is the roadbed and the road and bridge, the roadbed, you don't have to care, just give the standard, I will let the mechanized construction team go to the construction!" ”

"Are they bulldozers?" Zhan Tianyou seems to understand a little, he came to Baotou time, almost half a month of effort, spent on the tractor, the tractor's excellent performance and off-road ability, let him marvel, if on the roadbed, can use this, can really reduce a lot of workload, I heard that the tractor has been widely used in Baotou on many construction sites, this is the tractor driver who took him around said.

"That's right, it's a tractor, I will let Qian Hu send the most capable force, go all out to promote this aspect, with the fastest speed, complete the construction of all roadbeds, your task is to lead them to build roads, of course, the construction of some bridges, etc., also need to be built in advance, for the construction of these bridges, you only need to design out the weight that the bridge needs to carry, divide him into different prefabricated parts, and naturally produce qualified things by the prefabricated parts factory."

Sharding Baogong, handing over professional things to professional people to deal with, which is a very familiar thing for future generations, everyone knows, but for this era, a qiē and a qiē, are so fresh, which is equivalent to the maximum extent, improve the overall efficiency, whether it is divided into 30 bids, or preset bridges in advance, so that different parts, form different prefabricated parts, separate production, and then summarize into a whole, as if it is a building block, which will greatly save time.

But the idea of later generations, in Zhan Tianyou, is very novel, thought for a long time, and finally accepted this severe test, with two months, let Baotou here, complete the first phase of the railway network project, for the vast majority of people, is a fantasy thing, but for the northwest, for Baotou, this is the reality, is within reach.

There are at least 30,000 people, serving in this surrounding, they are direct engineering personnel, and more than 100,000 people, in the periphery, all kinds of base indicators, various parameters, drawings, a steady stream of convergence, Zhan Tianyou's old subordinates, classmates, and even the engineers and workers invited by Harpy from abroad, they work together to contribute to this unimaginable project, and the construction of the railway is progressing almost every day.

The railway construction of Baotou, there is no large-scale publicity, there is no earth-shattering good news, just quietly began, one by one the machine qì began to gallop on the land of Baotou, the first 1 month, basically not much, a huge team of 20,000 people, scattered around hundreds of kilometers away, they are responsible, in the necessary position on the railway line, digging tunnels, building bridges, especially the former, with a special excavation machinery, the speed is much faster than ever. Most of the tractors in Baotou have been mobilized here to carry out earthwork construction, although it is December, for the north, it is already frozen, if you only rely on manpower, not only to deal with heavy labor, but also to deal with bad weather, these are a huge consumption for the body lì workers, frozen land, will bury countless souls.

Change a construction method, different, bulldozer will not be as comfortable as the construction machinery of later generations, but also consider many aspects of the problem, this era of worker drivers, their ability to bear and the ability to work hard, absolutely more than the future generations, itself, hard work is the tradition of the Chinese, as once leading the world, the reason for leading, is not an advanced idea or mind, is because of hard work, even now, the Qing government has completely degenerated into a semi-feudal and semi-colonial world, countless Chinese, Still relying on their own hands, in the continuous creation of wealth, so that China, which is still stuck in the small peasant economy, has always been in the forefront of the world's total economic output, which is also the reason why a large amount of cotton cloth can be dumped in China, even if China is poor, but can afford such industrial products.

Dedicated work and hard-working workers have produced quite a wonderful chemical effect, hundreds of bulldozers, roaring on the two first built railways, countless earthworks have been excavated, and Zhan Tianyou's main work is to complete the design and prefabrication of various bridges, of course, he is not alone, among the people who studied abroad in the late Qing Dynasty, a considerable part of them studied liberal arts, such as law and medicine, but there are also some people, who are studying science and engineering, Zhan Tianyou is learning one, There are also some who study architecture, but their fame is not big, their ability is limited, and they can't design landmark buildings, but the basic road and bridge construction is still possible, mainly a part of foreign experts and architects, assisted by a group of international students and Western students, and finally formed a team, on the 4500 kilometers of railway line, more than 120 bridges, carried out a perfect design and planning, a large number of careful measurement and division, the final form of prefabricated parts, was sent to the prefabricated parts factory, Due to the construction of a large number of railways, the prefabricated parts factory has expanded by 5 times, from a very ordinary small factory that is only an auxiliary project of the power plant to a huge factory.

Now, the part of the production of supporting prefabricated parts for the power plant has become one of the branches, the road and bridge branch and the sleeper branch, which have become the places where it focuses on expansion, and the personnel and equipment are preferentially tilted, and even the factory area has been expanded by more than 5 times. The continuous production of prefabricated parts, a month's time, most of the preparations, have been thoroughly completed, in the rivers around Baotou, there have been a number of tense construction sites, a large number of foundations and bridge piers, played down in advance, special, can be condensed and completed under the water of special cement, in the construction of the railway, for the first time put in use, for a lot of new things in Baotou, Zhan Tianyou has long been surprised, as long as he can use it, as long as he can achieve the predetermined effect, whatever.

More than a month, enough for the earthwork group, to complete the railway from Baotou to Zhangjiakou and Datong to Taiyuan, to complete the construction of the earthwork, once the earthwork construction is completed, laying is a mechanical thing, the machinery is also at this moment, showing his power, 30 teams of mature workers, divided into 30 different bids, start construction, has been prepared earthwork, under the impetus of bulldozers and tractors, placed into a reasonable and mature orientation, next, sleeper laying machine qì, Began to lay all kinds of sleepers quickly, in such a series of actions, the speed was even faster than what had been seen, this is skill, this is cooperation, the railway began to extend forward, at a speed visible to the naked eye, constantly expanding.
