Chapter 358: Huge Planning

Mihai followed the front and body of the locomotive, and noticed the following, even the railway itself is completely different from the previous railway, the rail is not a light rail, but a heavy rail, the difference between the light rail and the heavy one, is on the weight of the rail itself, the specifications of the railway itself are about the same, what really determines the weight is the texture, listen to the sound, look at the quality, this heavy rail is not simple.

In more than 30 years of railway experience, Mihai knows very well what is the most important thing in the railway, the locomotive and the vehicle are only one aspect, with a better and most important thing, or the rail, heavy-haul railway, has always been a country's trunk railway, the United States' railway, the removal of waste rails, every year in the form of thousands of kilometers, but the main line of the railway, has been improving, basically has not been demolished, starting from 15 kilograms per meter, the American railway has gone through several development journeys, and now, it has reached 35 kilograms, Such a steel rail is enough to bear a load of more than 50 tons, which is also the place that Americans have always been proud of, and it is also the pride of the heavy-haul railway in the United States, the reason why it can reach more than 1,000 tons of trains, heavy-haul railways are indispensable.

But now, China seems to have given birth to heavier, stout steel rails, there is no special mark on them, a certain amount of dù above, can not be distinguished, which is produced in that country, he squatted down, and made an appraisal of the rail, but through guò knocking and testing, Mihai knew that the quality of this rail was excellent, it should have reached, and even surpassed the heavy rail of the United States, when, in the world, there was another production company of heavy rail railway, it was difficult to do it, after leaving the railway for 1 year, Everything that is known about the railroad has changed, and the United States is no longer the strongest country on the railroad.

The people who came with Mihai, after noticing Mihai's gaze, also became solemn, to tell the truth, after they came to China, they had a very bad impression of China, backward China, and insensitive people, these are impossible to support a large-scale railway company, but the other party paid at least more than 500,000 US dollars in advance for more than 40 of them, and this money has been spent as a settling-in fee and part of the investment, who would pay so much, in order to just deceive them to come, They weren't very important.

But this Zhangjiakou station, as well as the railway to Baotou, changed their minds, it seems that coming to China, coming to Baotou, is a very challenging thing, this heavy rail railway, with their help, will play an unimaginable transportation capacity, there is capacity to build this railway place, more likely to build more railway routes, this is the foundation of their coming to China, in a backward country, to build a railway network with the Pacific Railway, This is a great achievement that can carry the annals of history.

Mihai actually noticed that the sleepers below, not wood, but reinforced concrete, are more stable and sturdy, and the possibility of problems is smaller, but the construction cost of the railway will increase exponentially, which is an unacceptable thing for any company, and he has not yet joined this company, and he is not in a hurry to say it.

While Mihai was looking at the train and the rails, on the other side of the platform, Bobby, the head of the person who had led Mihai from the United States to China, was reporting to a young man.

Yang Yuanzhao knew that after Mihai came to China, of course, he attached great importance to it, without a reasonable scheduling and guidance, the heavy rail railway could not play his role at all, and the speed itself could be guaranteed at 125, or even faster trains, at present, only about 85 kilometers, and even at night, the speed was reduced to the limit, which is not what Yang Yuanzhao wants to see.

"Bobby, introduce me to Mr. Mihai!"

"Yes, sir!" Bobby agreed, then walked up to Mihai's side and said, "Mr. Mihai, it's not bad!" ”

In fact, on the way here, Bobby is also pinching a sweat, he has not been back to Baotou for more than a year, very clear about the development of the northwest, is changing with each passing day, a year ago, when leaving China, these railways have no shadow, and now, has been built and opened to traffic, 4500 kilometers of railway, which is in any country in the world, is a unimaginable number, but the northwest, only took 6 months.

Anything, if you don't see the real thing, you don't have much right to speak, Bobby is very confident in Baotou because of his strong virtue and beauty, but he can't convince Mihai, there have been countless quarrels on the way, and now, it's time to fight back.

Mihai looked at the railway intently, not noticing Bobby's movements at all, Bobby smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Mihai, let me introduce you to the boss!" ”

Boss? Only then did Mihai notice that Yang Yuanzhao came over with Bobby, "This is Mr. Mihai, this is the president of the Baotou Chamber of Commerce, Yang Yuanzhao!" ”

Mihai was surprised and Yang Yuanzhao actually had a fluent English language, but then, something that surprised her even more appeared, the current operation map of the entire Baotou Railway appeared in front of him, 1500 kilometers, all of which are trunk railway changes, or 3 lines built together, plus branch lines, almost all the cities within the range of 700 kilometers, the junction of the trunk railway and the ring line, forming one emerging city after another, this city by city, has become a new focus, 4500 kilometers, when, barren China, there are so many, such a huge railway all at once.

What surprised him even more was still behind, relying on the existing railway, within three years, to ensure that every county in the northwest has a railway through, and further dense all kinds of railways, when the time comes, the northwest will connect Taiyuan, and there will even be 3 railways, northwest and Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, Zhili and northeast, there are railways to repair through, of course, just in the scope of the northwest control, leaving space for construction. It is conservatively estimated that in two years, 20,000 kilometers of railways will be completed, which is a fantasy for the whole world.

"It can't be!" Mihai said in a somewhat lost voice.

"You know how many years it took to build the current railway." Yang Yuanzhao pointed to the railway in front of him and asked calmly!

"Two years?" Mihai said with uncertainty, the reason why he said this is because Bobby said that the German-American company has only been established for more than two years, although in Mihai's opinion, the 4,500-kilometer railway, two years, is already much faster than the speed of the United States.

Yang Yuanzhao shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "There are only 6 months, of which more than a month was wasted because of waiting for the locomotive and carriages, and the real railway construction time is 4 months!" ”

"This can't be?" Mihai didn't look at the topographic map of the northwest, but from this railway map, he clearly saw a large number of tunnels, this is not a large plain like the United States, there are many mountains here, it is not easy to dig tunnels, 2 years is already fast, now it has increased by 4-5 times.

"Nothing is impossible, the efficiency of our Northwest is far more than you think, you don't care if it can be built, if I give you comprehensive support, when will you be able to complete the integration of the Northwest Railway Company and the operation of the first operation map, you know, the current Northwest Railway, the waste is absolutely amazing."

Mihai hesitated for a moment and said, "I need three days, and I still need personnel." ”

Personnel no problem, are the United States recruited railway personnel, in addition to the leader of Mihai, and the team he brought, they will be the most core personnel, other personnel, very good to find, 1000 dollars annual salary, in this era, you can find countless people, these people, a total of more than 300 people, and 3 times this number of Chinese, only a very small number of them, are railway employees, and most of them, are young students, they will be jointly responsible for the operation of the railway, safe and efficient, Strive to complete the adjustment of the railway to the greatest extent.

Mihai talked to Yang Yuanzhao, because the whistle sounded, it was interrupted, the transfer was over, the train was preparing to leave, Yang Yuanzhao waved his hand, invited Mihai to get on the train, on the way to Baotou, continued to discuss, when the train restarted, Mihai watched the train run intently, a qiē verified Mihai's idea, the carrying strength of the railway is very large, but the most important thing is not this, but the speed, the limit reaches more than 120 kilometers, which is calculated by Mihai based on experience.

In order to suppress Mihai and retain Mihai, an outstanding talent, Yang Yuanzhao took out all the qiē that Baotou could take out, including this newly shaped locomotive, as well as the fast train marshalling, and today's railway line from Zhangjiakou to Baotou is specially set aside for a certain amount of time, and a single qiē train is not arranged, which is equivalent to saying that the entire railway, in a specific period of time, there is only such a train, so although there will be a certain loss, after all, the preliminary operation of Baotou is now the route map, The daily volume of transportation is quite large, but in order for Mihai to have a preconceived idea, he almost fights.

Mihai was dumbfounded, he was in China, he saw the most backward things, but he also saw the strongest things, more than 120 kilometers of trains, this is definitely the world's top of the world, the mainstream of the train, this is not specifically for racing, and the train produced, pulling is also a 12-carriage permanent passenger train, reaching an average of more than 120 kilometers, and the peak is even more than 140 kilometers, which has surpassed the trunk railways of most countries in the world, a certain distance above, but also gives him confidence, Baotou has this ability to build a real trunk railway.
