Cars and airplanes are absolutely rare in the minds of the Chinese people in this era.

However, nowadays, on Dawn Island, all kinds of military trucks, construction vehicles, transport vehicles, and cars can be seen everywhere on the highway, and biplanes roar past in the sky from time to time. It is estimated that the entire Republic of China does not have as many vehicles and planes as Aurora Island. Therefore, in the eyes of the Chinese immigrants on the island, it has long become a commonplace and ordinary tool.

To this end, the Donghui cabinet has invested huge financial resources and manpower to train a large number of professional drivers and pilots, and has also opened automobile driving training schools, civil aviation clubs, and aviation schools in major cities and towns in Zhennan and Pingnan provinces.

Vehicles, Cheng Gong basically purchased from Germany and the United States. The civilian aircraft specially equipped for civilian aviation clubs and aviation schools selected the PO-2 piston primary training aircraft produced by the Soviet Union, and placed a super order for 5,000 planes with the Soviet Union at one time. As a result, Stalin often praised Cheng Gong, the king of Donghui, as a good friend of the Soviet people.

On the various routes from the world's major port cities to Shuguang Island, large and small ocean-going ships shuttle back and forth like carp crossing the river.

On the highways at all levels in Zhennan Province and Dingnan Province, all kinds of vehicles line up in a long line on the two-way four-lane road.

Thousands of kinds of commodities, such as building materials, daily necessities, grain, machinery and equipment, sugar, wine, and non-staple food, are constantly being swallowed up in 178 counties and districts in 19 cities in Shuguang Island and two provinces.

The huge business opportunities have made Shuguang Island seem to have become a treasure land full of gold in the eyes of businessmen from all over the world.

Now the whole world knows that Cheng Gong, the king of Donghui Kingdom, is the richest super-rich man in the world, and this young king wields the golden yuan stick in his hand to engage in local economic construction on Shuguang Island, opening the country, and welcoming people of all nationalities from all countries and regions to invest in Donghui and settle down and immigrate.

The generous immigration welfare policy of Donghui Kingdom naturally attracted many overseas Chinese families in Southeast Asian countries who could not survive, and for a while, a wave of immigrants to Shuguang Island was set off in all parts of Southeast Asia.

Every day, a large number of materials are transported to Shuguang Island from all over the world, and Zhennan Province and Dingnan Province, which have a thin foundation, are still not self-sufficient, especially in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation. This situation will not change significantly until the nine major industrial zones in Zhennan Province and Dinh Nam Province do not start investing, and Shuguang Island can only temporarily become a dumping ground for various commodities.

Except for the prohibition of opium from entering Aurora, any other goods can be circulated on Aurora. With the Jincheng International Consortium, the Romanov Consortium and the Morgan Consortium joining forces to help the waves, businesses with a little strength from all over the world hope to open their companies or stores to Dawn Island!

In this way, the scale of business travel logistics to and from Shuguang Island can be imagined.

In view of this expected effect, with a wave of his hand, a complete set of modern logistics operation modes and standards such as containers and their supporting vehicles, container ships, and terminal cranes were born.

Damn, I want to earn the king's money! Now this king asks you to spit out even the interest to this king!

You only need to survive the First Five-Year Plan, so that the first batch of industrial workers in Donghui can grow up, and in the future, this king will let you know what is called industrial scissors!

After getting the news that King Donghui had a great invention to share, representatives of various countries and various consortiums and families immediately flew to Paradise Island as soon as possible.

In order to open the eyes of these European and American deflated people, Cheng Gong deliberately opened a modern dual-use deep-water port wharf on Paradise Island, intending to hold a very visually impactful on-site office meeting for all European and American deflated people.

On this day, the autumn is high and crisp, and the sky is clear.

Representatives from the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, France, China, Germany, Dongying, Italy, Canada, Switzerland and other cabinet member countries and nearly 300 members of their expert advisory group gathered at Pier 7 on Paradise Island.

Pier 7 has been classified as a military prohibition zone, and no one is allowed to enter, otherwise they will be killed. This prohibition was not easily touched by the five cabinet ministers.

Today finally had the opportunity to see the mystery of Pier 7, Lawrence Rockefeller, Hughes Field, Chernenko, Andrew Luton, Zeng Guanghong, Jessica Morgan, Henry Welf, Mitsui Jiro and other cabinet members and the representatives of the governments behind them all had extremely curiosity, wondering what King Cheng had done this time.

As the forbidden enclosure of Pier 7 was slowly opened by the marines guarding here, on the dock, a pile of neatly stacked containers, huge container trucks, and three gantry cranes appeared in front of everyone.

In the berth area, there are several container ships with a tonnage of 700-1000TEU and 1800-2000TEU from 20,000 tons to 50,000 tons docked at the wharf.

Cheng Gong didn't speak, but said proudly into a wireless walkie-talkie carried in his right hand: "Let them increase their knowledge!" ”

As a result, container trucks of different sizes and models that can load 30-ton containers, 20-ton containers, 10-ton containers, 5-ton containers, and 2.5-ton containers have been started one after another, first loading their empty containers from the empty container area and driving them to the wharf warehouse area, where the warehouse guards act as temporary movers to fill boxes of packaged goods from the warehouse into containers.

After being fully loaded, each vehicle drove to the loading area next to the dock at an average speed of 80 kilometers per hour. Then it was the turn of the three large gantry cranes on the pier to work again.

Five hours later.

When a 20,000-ton ro-ro cargo ship and a 50,000-ton bulk carrier docked at the edge of the dock were all loaded with containers and set sail for departure, the European and American nurtures who were watching all let out an incredible exclamation.

"Cake seller!"

"This speed...... That's too fast......"

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat proudly, walked over to a pile of empty containers, pointed to the largest container and said, "This is a 30-ton container, this is a 20-ton container, this is a 10-ton container, this is a 5-ton container, and the smallest is a 2.5-ton container." Just now, 70,000 tons of material were loaded from this dock and transported to Dawn Island. It took a total of 12 hours and 15 minutes from packing to departure.

Putting aside the time of cargo packing, let's just talk about the time of loading the ship just now, 70,000 tons of cargo were loaded and left the port, and it only took four hours and 53 minutes before and after! In other words, the loading and unloading efficiency of this specialized large crane on the dock is 3,000 tons per hour! Seventy times more efficient than traditional cargo ships! Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what this seventy times efficiency means? ”

"Cake sellers! 3000 tons per hour! I'm dizzy, I'm not dreaming......"

"Seventy times more efficient! Quite a tie over seventy times the time! Cake sellers! Isn't the world crazy! How could this be ......?"

"This is a great invention of Genesis! It will be a great miracle that mankind has ever created! ”

“……”

"Ahem!" Cheng Gong coughed lightly twice, ignoring the shock, excitement and excitement on the faces of everyone at the scene, and continued: "This kind of box made of special steel, this king calls it a container. This is a large container with a certain strength, stiffness and specifications, which is intended for turnaround use. The use of containers to transfer goods can be directly loaded at the shipper's warehouse and transported to the consignee's warehouse for unloading. When changing cars and ships in the middle of the process, there is no need to take the goods out of the box for reloading.

The greatest success of this container invented by Benwang lies in the standardization of its products and the complete set of transportation system established by it. This new logistics model can standardize a behemoth with a load of dozens of tons, and on this basis, gradually realize the logistics system of ships, ports, routes, highways, transfer stations, bridges, tunnels, and multimodal transport around the world, which is called the container logistics standard system!

The container truck supporting this system is a new concept of multi-purpose vehicles, and the container ship is a new cargo ship. This container ship has no inner deck, the aircraft is located at the stern, and the hull is actually a huge movable warehouse, up to 300 meters long. It is then divided into small cabins with vertical guides. These container devices play a positioning role when the container is dismounted, and they can hold the container firmly in case of bad weather at sea.

Since the containers are made of metal and sealed, the contents of the containers will not be eroded by rain or seawater. After repeated use and verification by Benwang, we have come to a conclusion that the container logistics system and standards have been fully mature, and it should be allowed to serve all mankind! Play its due role in maintaining world peace and stability! ”

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa......"

All the people at the scene, regardless of nationality, race, or political party, applauded excitedly and violently to cheer for King Cheng Gong of Donghui.

These people are all political and economic elites, and everyone knows everything, or even knows everything. There are even more talented people in mathematics who have carefully calculated the efficiency and cost of traditional thousand-ton and 10,000-ton ship transportation and cargo handling, that is, it is not 70 times the efficiency just mentioned by Cheng Gong, even if it is only half or 30 times! It was also a great invention that shocked the world. And this does not take into account many factors such as the reduction of packaging costs and wear and tear of goods, the increase in the speed of goods turnover, and so on.

If we take a step forward with the large-scale manufacturing of containers and their special supporting equipment, there are all kinds of road, railway, and ocean transportation all over the world, as well as the huge project of expanding and renovating almost all the relevant terminals, stations, and freight yards all over the world......

The economic and social benefits created by this container logistics system and standards are simply huge!
