The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the more he didn't understand, so he asked, "What the hell is going on?" I'm completely confused. ”

Hou Zhengfeng smiled: "Don't worry, a miracle will appear soon, you can wait with confidence." ”

The train ran more than a dozen laps, and Lin Yuan asked, "It's going to be fifty laps now, why don't they stop?" ”

Hou Zhengfeng smiled: "Don't worry, it's soon!" When the two were talking, they saw that the train really stopped slowly, Lin Yuan looked at Hou Zhengfeng in surprise and said, "How do you know that they will definitely stop?" ”

Hou Zhengfeng said with a smile: "This is a heavenly opportunity, I'll tell you when that Yankee comes." ”

At this moment, Cindy walked over with a helpless face, and Hou Zhengfeng deliberately asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Cindyk said, "Since you don't want to compete anymore, we won't go either!" ”

Hou Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Boiled duck - hard mouth, is there something wrong with your rails?" Don't you have a rail inspection vehicle? Did you find that the rails were sinking, and it would be unsafe to walk again, so you could only stop! ”

Cindick's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "How did you know the Dao?" ”

Hou Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Don't ask me how I know the Dao, let me ask you first, do you admit that we Chinese have the ability to build railways?" Do you admit that you lost? ”

Cindick sneered: "You didn't pave the railroad at all, and I admit that we won and you lost!" ”

Hou Zhengfeng said: "You don't have to be hard-mouthed, believe it or not, I can explain clearly what your railway is sinking, and I can also tell you how to improve." ”

Cindick shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, absolutely not!" ”

Hou Zhengfeng squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and asked, "Do you know what kind of soil this is?" ”

Cindy looked at Hou Zhengfeng in confusion, Hou Zhengfeng said: "This kind of soil, in our railway engineering is called soft soil, because this soil has rich groundwater deposition under it, so the bearing capacity of this soil is poor, if there is no protection on the roadbed, the sinking phenomenon will occur in the driving, this sinking amount is relatively small, it is not visible to the naked eye, but with your advanced instruments, it will definitely be able to see." ”

"The train is moving at high speed, and if the track sinks for a while, it poses a great hidden danger to driving safety, so you have to stop, I don't know if what I said is right?"

Hou Zhengfeng is talking about the theory of special section construction in modern railway construction, how could Cindick have heard of it, he had to listen blankly, Hou Zhengfeng continued: "If you don't believe it, I can calculate it for you." Saying that, Hou Zhengfeng squatted down, picked up a wooden stick, and wrote a bunch of calculation formulas on the ground.

Then Hou Zhengfeng stood up, found a long wooden stick, pointed to those formulas and said: "These are the formulas for calculating the amount of subsidence, the parameters related to the soil in the formula, you can measure them yourself, the symbols in this are common in the whole world, I believe you also understand their meaning, if you don't believe me, you can calculate it yourself!" ”

Cindick asked incredulously, "How should this be solved?" ”

Hou Zhengfeng smiled and said: "It's okay for you kid to know about the road, but you have to change your attitude first, look at your arrogance when you negotiated yesterday, and let us not interfere with your construction of the railway, if we don't interfere, I don't know how many people will be killed by the railway you build!" If you want to know the road, you can do it, but in the process of building the railway, you have to listen to us in everything, to put it simply, you are working for us, and you don't care about anything else! ”

Cindick thought to himself: "If this is the case, not only will I not make much money, but I will not even have any hope of collecting Chinese intelligence." So Cindick said, "No way, this time it's just an accident, we ......"

Cindick still had to argue, Hou Zhengfeng said categorically: "I'll tell you, this kind of soil is everywhere in our country, let me tell you again, you build berms on both sides of the roadbed, you can effectively prevent the occurrence of subsidence, but how to repair the berm, I have nothing to say, wait until you figure it out and are willing to change your attitude, and then come to me." ”

After Hou Zhengfeng finished speaking, he waved his hand at Lin Yuan and said, "Xiaolin, let's go!" Let's eat roast duck and don't buy wine today! After saying that, he turned around and left, and Cindick was stunned on the spot.

Lin Yuan took the opportunity to say to Cindick: "If you can't solve the problem of the sinking of the railway, then it is impossible for me to give you the railway contract, you also know that a railway that will sink is a huge threat to the life safety of passengers, and I will never agree to build such a railway!" ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and caught up with Hou Zhengfeng, the two got into the carriage and rushed straight to Quanjude, don't look at Hou Zhengfeng's old age, but he stuffed the fat duck meat into his mouth, Lin Yuan couldn't help but persuade him: "Hou Lao, eat less greasy things, beware of high blood pressure!" ”

Hou Zhengfeng said with a smile: "It's okay, let me tell you, the body is all about the mentality, if you think of yourself as twenty years old, your body is twenty years old, if you think of yourself as seventy years old, then you will definitely be finished!" ”

Lin Yuan listened to his fallacy, and it was not easy to refute, so he could only laugh, at this moment, a person rushed into the private room, Lin Yuan saw that it was Thomas, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Ambassador, last time you invited me to eat American specialties, and today I also invite you to taste our Chinese food." ”

Thomas laughed: "I'm not here to eat, I heard that the railroad we built is sinking?" ”

Hou Zhengfeng ignored him, holding a duck leg in his hand, and gnawed intently, Lin Yuan smiled: "Yes, our experts know how to solve it, but your experts don't like to hear it." ”

Thomas hurriedly said: "In this way, Cindyk will leave everything to me, I will convince him, we can agree to your conditions, this railway project is led by your Chinese side, and we will all listen to you, okay?" ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I am sincere in cooperation, as long as your expert nods, I can say anything here." ”

Thomas nodded and Hou Zhengfeng asked, "What's going on?" Why is Thomas's attitude so different from Cindick's? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Thomas thinks differently from Cindick, Thomas thinks that if you take this order, as long as you take it down, you can create a lot of jobs in the United States, because although we have the skills to build railways, but there are no skilled skilled workers, there are many such workers in the United States, and we must use them if we want to build railways." ”

"The U.S. is in the midst of a post-economic downturn, so this measure will allow his party to win a lot of votes, and as for the Pacific Railroad, they will still be able to benefit, although it will be much less than they expected, but it is better than nothing."

Hou Zhengfeng nodded and said, "Then we will also train our own team of workers when we build." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "That's right, our next step is to choose a specific route, you hurry up and eat, we can work after eating." ”
