September 9.

After many difficulties, the Strait Bridge was finally completed in its entirety.

Hsinchu, East Island, the eastern terminus of the Strait Bridge.

Li Jianhua and the president of the Planet Group, as well as representatives of the Aerospace Group and China Railway Group, gathered here.

Su Yue, general manager of the Strait Bridge Management Company, which belongs to the Planet Group, was also at the scene.

"Manager Su, let's start the trial run!" Da Da Yi turned his head and commanded Su Yue.

"No problem!" Su Yue nodded, then took out the walkie-talkie and ordered to the control room of the Hsinchu platform: "In 10 minutes, start the trial operation." ”

"Roger."

On the other side, Haitan Island, Fu Province, Pingtan platform control room.

"After receiving the test operation instruction, the HX-HY001 train is ready to depart."

"Check the vacuum level of the pipes."

"The vacuum level is 99.99%, which meets the starting standard."

"Countdown to 10...... 6…… 2. 1 departure. ”

A cargo transport train above Pingtan Station started quickly, and in the state of superconducting maglev, the train gradually accelerated towards Hsinchu Station.

In less than ten minutes, HX-HY001 transported 10 30-ton containers to Hsinchu Station.

"It's already here." Su Yue saw a red light on one of the pipes in the inbound area, and knew that the train had entered the inbound area.

These inbound areas are used for the inbound and outbound trains in the vacuum pipeline transportation system, with a total of 15 inbound areas (south side of the pipeline) and 15 outbound areas (north side of the pipeline).

These inbound and outbound areas are equivalent to small branch lines connected to the main line.

In the case of the inbound area, for example, after the train comes from the main line, it will be automatically assigned to one of the inbound areas, and after the train enters the inbound area pipeline, the inbound area will automatically close the connection to the main line.

Then the entrance area opens the sealed door on the other side, and the entrance area is filled with outside air, and then the train slowly follows the track into the unloading area.

There are no pipelines in the unloading area, only superconducting magnetic levitation tracks, and the unloading area has unloading equipment similar to that of a container terminal, which can quickly unload containers into the storage area on the side.

After the train is unloaded (or passengers are disembarked), the train has two directions, the first is along the ring track, entering the loading area (or passenger boarding area), and finally entering the exit area to prepare for departure.

Another way to go is to enter an ancillary area, the train maintenance area.

Li Jianhua, Da Da Yi, Su Yue and others were in the unloading area.

"There is no problem with the transportation of trucks for the time being, the average speed is about 1,100 kilometers per hour, and it takes about 8 minutes from Pingtan to Hsinchu." Su Yue looked at the data transmitted from the control room and said.

"What about the driver? By the way, let someone check if there is any problem with the goods inside the container. Da Da Yi looked at the train that had unloaded the container and ordered.

"I'll check it out right away." Su Yue was also very nervous about this issue.

After all, trains are not only required to be fast, but also to be safe, and if there is a problem with the driver and the goods, it is a big problem.

"Let's go check it out!" Li Jianhua walked towards the train maintenance area.

At this time, the train has slowly stopped in the maintenance area, and the maintenance workers in charge of maintenance hurriedly checked the condition of the train, while a team of medical personnel quickly entered the cab to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the two drivers.

At the same time, a large group of staff quickly carried out a comprehensive inspection of the 10 containers in the storage area.

In order to resist the negative pressure inside the container caused by the vacuum pipe, the maglev train manufacturing company adopted a nesting design, which is similar to a nesting doll toy.

Using a special anti-vacuum container, set on an ordinary container, all the vacuum negative pressure is borne by the outside of the anti-vacuum negative pressure container, and the ordinary container inside can be safe and sound.

The results of the medical staff came out first, Su Yue looked at the driver's test report, and she let go of her nervousness.

"Looks like good news!" Li Jianhua said with a smile.

"Manager Su, how is the driver?" Da Da Yi hurriedly asked.

"The driver's physical condition is all good, and according to the driver's reaction, it is no different from ordinary trains, and even more relaxed than ordinary trains." Su Yue replied with a smile.

In fact, due to the ultra-high speed of the vacuum tube train, the driving system of the train is very automated, mainly because sometimes the driver cannot react at all, and can only be driven with the help of the automatic driving system, and the driver is just assisted driving.

More than an hour later, the train maintenance situation and container inspection situation came out, and Su Yue reported to Li Jianhua and Da Dayi with satisfaction:

"Mr. Li, Mr. Pang, everything is normal on the train, and there is no problem with the cargo of the container."

"I'm very pleased with this result, but you still can't take it lightly, test it for a while and see if there are any problems with each system." Li Jianhua nodded and ordered.

"We must carefully test to ensure the safety of each system." Su Yue knew that this matter was sloppy.

Now there is no problem in transporting goods, and once there is a problem in transporting passengers, that is the real cheat.

Therefore, the management company of the Strait Bridge first intends to carry out cargo transportation business, and as for the passenger business, it will not be possible to open until at least the end of the year.

Now they're doing small-scale in-house passenger testing to avoid problems when they get a large number of passengers.

Soon, the official website of Galaxy Technology announced the official completion of the Strait Bridge, in which the freight business was officially put into operation.

"So fast! I'm not dreaming, am I?" - Nan Ke a dream

"The Strait Bridge Management Company invited me to visit, envy, jealousy and hate!" - The Martian

"@火星人, congratulations to the guinea pig!" - Manual funny

"Shocked! Hsinchu is only eight minutes through Pingtan, if you add the time to get on and off the bus, it may take fifteen minutes to make a trip, which is even more tiring than a plane! —UC Shock Department No. 007

"Why hasn't there been a passenger service?" ——Shanghai users

"@上沪用户, it should be testing safety issues, after all, the safety requirements of passenger transportation are higher than those of freight." - Data Emperor

"Every ten minutes, it's like being in your own city." - Sluggish

"@波澜不兴, brother, I'm afraid you don't know the big traffic jam in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen." - Manual funny

Although netizens were very surprised by the opening of the Strait Bridge, they were already surprised by the miracle of Galaxy Technology.

As for inviting some fans of Galaxy Technology to visit the Strait Bridge, there is indeed a test project, but this is on a voluntary basis, and those who agree to participate in the test also have a huge amount of insurance and a compensation of 100,000 Martian coins.

With the opening of the cargo transportation business of the Strait Bridge, the logistics and transportation between the East Island and the mainland have become more convenient.

Of course, at present, these transported goods are mainly the goods of the Galaxy Consortium itself, and a number of e-commerce platforms such as Ali Group have also quickly signed a letter of intent with the Strait Bridge Management Company.

A pipeline can transport 50,000 tons of goods in one direction a day, and about 15 million tons of goods a year.

The three pipelines can transport nearly 45 million tons of goods per year, of course, this figure is theoretical data, in fact, considering the needs of passenger transportation, plus maintenance and the like, it can transport about 20 million tons of goods a year.

Even so, it is also a huge improvement for cross-strait logistics and transportation.
