Chapter 86: A New Responsibility (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
What is the miracle of 1893?
Whether it is in Europe and the United States, or in China, at least when this issue is mentioned, people will rarely form a consensus - Shenyang-Dalian Railway!
For the world in 1893, the Shenyang-Dalian Railway, with a total mileage of 396 kilometers, was immediately regarded as a miracle in railway engineering by the engineering circles all over the world since the moment it was completed and opened to traffic. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Some European and American railway experts even said in a sour tone: "The railway built by the Chinese in ten months may still have some shortcomings, but it means that they have made progress in engineering technology." ”。
Of course, there are even some Western railway engineers who are nitpicking and picking all kinds of faults, and it seems that for them, the miraculous completion of this railway is completely unacceptable, and this seems to provide a realistic basis for overthrowing the so-called "Caucasian superiority theory".
However, this is only a very small point of view, in fact, more European and American railway experts have become accustomed to the miracle shown by the Northeast Railway Company or the North Korean Railway Company in the process of railway construction, and the miracle is created by a simple principle - people.
With enough manpower, there's nothing that can't be done quickly!
The premise of the 396-kilometer-long railway, which can be completed at a miraculous speed, is that it is divided into 39 construction sections and works in both directions at the same time, which means that it is composed of 39 10-kilometer sections. Tens of thousands of militarized laborers from more than a dozen provinces participated in the construction of the railway. Militarized management makes them like soldiers. Able to strictly follow the schedule to advance the speed of the project.
Sometimes, some so-called engineering marvels are as simple as investing enough manpower, and that's where China's greatest advantage lies – having enough people. As the creator of engineering miracles, whether it is the Northeast Railway Company or the Northeast Heavy Industry Development Company, the bonds issued by it are naturally sought after by investors in European and American exchanges. Faster completion means better returns, in a way. Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why it continues to create and promote those engineering marvels.
Of course, as for the urgent need for industry and railways in the Northeast, it has been ignored intentionally or unintentionally. If there was no construction of the Shenyang-Dalian Railway, there might not have been the move of the Governor's Office to Dalian, and it was precisely because of the construction of the railway that the two places could be connected by the railway.
A roaring train is moving on the railroad, and unlike the lead-gray cars on the railway, the color of the train cars is blue, which is the steel car produced by the American company Pullman since it was purchased in the Northeast. It has been used as a special train for the Governor, and it is pulled by American-type locomotives imported from the United States.
However, it is different from ordinary cars. Without exception, these carriages are equipped with thick multi-layer bulletproof steel plates, which provide good protection for the people in the carriages. As a special train, it not only has thick bulletproof steel plates, but also has a luxurious interior, and the interior decoration of the carriage is full of European luxury.
In the extremely luxuriously decorated carriage, the soft lights were on, and at this time the sky outside the carriage had completely darkened, and on the earth after nightfall, the special train left a bright afterimage in the night. When the train "clanged" forward, Tang Haoran had no intention of sitting on the sofa, but paced back and forth on the thick carpet, his brows were sometimes wrinkled, sometimes loosened to seem to carry some joy, and the expression on his face became very complicated.
"You're a fool!"
Confused, indeed very confused, completely forgetting that Jingxian's due date was in these days, but he ran to Shenyang, in case he ......
Thinking of the backward medical level of this era, especially the risk of childbirth, Tang Haoran clenched his fists nervously, in case there was any accident...... No, it won't, it won't!
"Ten Million ......"
Shaking his head vigorously, Tang Haoran regretted why he didn't study medicine, if he had studied medicine, maybe ......
Of course, this is just an idea, just entangled in his heart, the train continues to move forward, but Tang Haoran's heart can't calm down.
At this time, he was nervous about becoming a father in his heart, but more nervous about being a husband to his wife.
"It's going to be fine, it's going to be ......"
Whispering in his heart, Tang Haoran kept trying to divert his attention, he first thought of the car he had left in Shenyang, the transmission system he had just invented, and naturally the overall design of the car, and of course the raw materials it needed, such as rubber that could not be produced in the Northeast.
"It seems that we have to find a way to solve the rubber problem, well, we have to find a way to build a rubber plantation in Hainan, but it is a place in Guangzhou......"
Just when Tang Haoran was thinking about building a rubber plantation in Hainan to solve the problem of rubber supply in the future, Jingxian couldn't help but think of his wife and unborn children in his mind.
Are they safe?
"Liangguang shouldn't stop himself, isn't the Nanfan base built there? Well, in the name of the plantation, it can be expanded a little more...... Will Jingxian blame me? ”
For the first time, Tang Haoran found that he couldn't calm down and think about the problem at all, even if he thought of some problems, he would eventually return to the original problem, back to his family, and in the midst of all kinds of entanglements, the special train that kept stopping was still heading towards Dalian at the fastest speed.
The distance of 396 kilometers, even at the fastest speed, still takes six hours, and for Tang Haoran, who is like an arrow, every minute of waiting is torment. Especially when the station does not stop, it is equivalent to cutting off the train from the outside world, and only this lonely train is running on the railway......
At nightfall, a sudden rain fell, but the summer rain came and went as fast as it came. Soon the rain stopped. But it didn't stop completely. The heavy rain turned into a drizzle. In this drizzle, in the army hospital in Dalian, as soon as Ouyang Jingya, who had just arrived to take over, entered the hospital, she found that the atmosphere of today's hospital was different from the past, and the army hospital summed up the experience of the "Northeast Campaign", and the western hospital, which was directly managed by the Military Command Department, not only had the best equipment, but also had the best doctors. However, Ouyang Jingya is an alternative existence in the hospital, she is the only female doctor, but she does not have any medical school graduation certificate, and even the reason why she can become a military doctor is because during the battle, she led a medical team composed of more than 200 female students from Chinese schools to appear on the battlefield and save thousands of wounded soldiers.
Because of this, after the establishment of the army hospital, she was invited by the military command department to become the only female military doctor in the army hospital. And when she came to the hospital today, she noticed that some guards in civilian clothes appeared in the hospital. The reason why they were immediately visible as guards was that they "controlled" the maternity operating room as well as the nearby wards.
Unlike other departments, the obstetrics department is in charge of a group of Western nun doctors and nurses, and in the corridor of the obstetric ward, several elderly people can be seen looking nervously at the operating room, and a few people dressed as officials are also looking nervously.
"Teacher, I really don't know what kind of big man it is, the dean personally arranged the ......"
Seeing the arrival of the teacher, a little nurse hurriedly said to Ouyang Jingya curiously, with a look of indignation on her face, as if because of the privileges she enjoyed, after all, according to the regulations, both generals and soldiers are treated equally in the army hospital, but this time, it seems to have broken this equality.
"Big shots? What kind of big guy would enjoy such treatment? ”
Just as the two were talking, there was a rush of footsteps around the corner, and seeing the person in the lead, Ouyang Jingya's eyes couldn't help but widen violently, and she instantly understood why the patients in the operating room could enjoy "superhuman treatment".
"Could it be that the handsome lady gave birth in the operating room?"
Just when Ouyang Jingya looked at the handsome man who was walking towards the operating room, and said a few simple polite words to the officials who were waiting outside the corridor, and then walked nervously in the corridor, a loud baby cry of "wow" came from the operating room.
Just rushed back to Dalian, Tang Haoran, who was wandering nervously in the corridor outside, heard the cry and was in good spirits, and couldn't wait to break into the operating room despite the obstruction of the Western nurse.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency Marshal, mother and son are safe!"
Before he entered the operating room, the doctors and nurses wearing masks congratulated him. At the same time, it stopped him from wanting to enter.
Mother and child are safe!
After learning the news, Tang Haoran only felt that his inner body was filled with unprecedented happiness in an instant, and that kind of happiness was indescribable.
Me, I have a son!
"Congratulations to the handsome man for getting your ......"
"Congratulations to the successor of the handsome......"
In that congratulatory voice, Tang Haoran's expression looked a little sluggish, and it wasn't until a few minutes later, under the reminder of the nurse, that he came back to his senses, and when he entered the ward, one of the nurses was holding a newborn baby in the crook of his arm, and he was crying.
Shen Jingxian, whose hair was scattered and her face was pale, was lying on the bed, her face was covered with tears and sweat of pain, and her mouth was still wheezing softly.
"How's the kid? Kid ......"
After being tossed for seven or eight hours, she tried hard to support her weak body, looking around anxiously, and the child's cry pierced her heart.
"Congratulations to your lady......"
At this time, the nurse had already picked up the baby and put it on the side of the bed with a smile.
"Good ...... Good ......"
Shen Jingxian hugged the baby, pressed her forehead tightly against the pink little face, the kind of joy from the heart, cherished from the heart, looked at the wife and children in front of her, and secretly rejoiced that Tang Haoran, who had not missed the birth of her son, opened her strong arms and hugged both mother and son into her arms.
He knows that from now on, there is another layer of responsibility for himself, and that is the responsibility of the father to his son!
What are the responsibilities of a father to his son?
Before today, Tang Haoran had seriously thought about this problem from the future, but at this time, looking at his son and his wife lying on the hospital bed, Tang Haoran understood this responsibility, at least this responsibility, which means that he must let his son grow up in a safe environment.
Maybe now the wheel of history will continue to move in an unknown direction under its own propulsion, even Tang Haoran himself doesn't know where this train will go, but there is a possibility, maybe after his death, it is very likely that people will die, but he and Jingxian's children will definitely live better than their own generation, and they will have many more choices than their own generation.
Perhaps, he will grow up in a country that is more powerful than ever. Change has happened in the first place, and tomorrow's track will never be another track, and as a father, what I need is to continue to create a new future for him and for them, and lay a solid foundation.
"Master, what should you call our children?"
At this moment, Shen Jingxian's voice came from her ears again, and there was a little joy in her voice as a new mother. And this "master" is also worthy of the name - today the eldest young master of the Tang family was born!
"Name...... Well, I have already thought about it, since I am a boy, I will be called Tang Yixuan, and if I have a daughter in the future, I will call it Tang Yichen......" After thinking about it, Tang Haoran responded softly, and then looked at his wife and children lovingly. When mentioning these two names, the bottom of my heart is completely missing my parents in another time and space, these two names are my father's "joke" words back then, although I was not married at that time, and I didn't even have a girlfriend, but my father had already named his son early. It was as if I had expected this day.
"Well, as long as you like it, sir."
Although with Shen Jingxian's attainments in Chinese studies, it seemed a bit too casual to name it like this, but she still nodded, then frowned and said in a low voice.
"However, you always have to look at the eight characters of this birthday, and this milk name is always unavoidable."
"Ah...... Oh, okay. ”
Scratching his head slightly, knowing that this is what Chinese people are used to, Tang Haoran naturally has no reason to refuse.
"What words should be on the genealogy of the master's generation, is it Hao, what about the children."
Smiling, Shen Jingxian reminded in a low voice, although she did not object to Tang Haoran's name, after all, she had to take into account the genealogy of the Tang family.
"Genealogy?"
Hearing this, Tang Haoran suddenly became a big one, the so-called "recognition of relatives", but it only solved the problem of a background, as for the so-called Tang family genealogy, what does it have to do with himself? Even now, he has little contact with the Tang family or even the Liu family in Wuchang, and occasionally "relatives" come to the Northeast, which is just politeness in courtesy.
Shen Jingxian is so smart, when she saw her husband's stiff body, she immediately realized the problem, thought about it, and continued to say softly, "Otherwise, the master will make a family tree by himself, and our Tang family will start with you, so as not to mess up the generations after the branches and leaves are scattered in the future."
