Railroad tracks, yes, Chen Zaihai showed us a section of railroad tracks that have fallen into disrepair. To be honest, I'm a little aesthetically tired of this thing, and in terms of appearance, this track is not too different from what we've seen before, it should have been erected at the same time.

I have to admire the Japanese here, they are like industrious gophers, connecting so many caves with these rails. This amount of work should not be completed in eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, right? What exactly did they use to do it?

Or did they infiltrate this place long before the war of resistance? Things are getting more and more like conspiracy theories unfolding. I shook my head vigorously to make myself realistic, no matter how I thought about this kind of thing, how could the national government let the little devils dig holes under their noses?

I put my thoughts back and continued to observe the tracks. The sleepers were almost all rotten, and now it looked like the rails were two long steel pipes, completely useless. It's a little different from the railroad tracks we've seen along the way, and this thing seems to be more abandoned. I don't know why, but the railroad tracks in front of me are what everything should look like here.

Before, because what happened to us was so sudden, and the dangers and changes came one after another, we didn't have time to calm down and think about the problem. But that's no longer the case, and it's surprisingly quiet around here. If you take a moment to sort out the clues, there's absolutely no better place to do it.

Chen Zaihai immediately wanted to take us down the railway, but I stopped him directly, saying that now we can't mess around like we used to. We've had so many things happen, and that accident had nothing to do with our negligence? The so-called eating a trench grows a wisdom, let's sort out the clues in hand first.

It is obvious where the railroad tracks lead, and it is likely that it is the Japanese building we are looking for, whether it is a power plant like the previous one, or something else We don't know, and if we rush forward, we will inevitably suffer the same loss as before.

Sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters, workers must first sharpen their tools if they want to do a good job, and there will be no harm in totaling them.

"Lao Su, I haven't found out that you have always been a cultural person! It's a pity not to be a poet with such talent. Don't you just want us to stop and learn from the lessons? Chen Zaihai looked at me with some admiration. How did you come up with so many condiments? ”

I kicked him and told him to stop talking nonsense. It's not that you forced it, now it's impossible for us to go back the way we came, and we have to follow your temperament again, and there are a few lives that are not enough to die.

"Okay, okay! Everything you say is right. Let's just sit down and have a good chat, and you all rely on me if something happens after the province. He sat down as if abandoned. Seeing that the most dangerous elements had quieted down, I first stated what I had just thought.

What was the first thing you thought about when you looked at this railroad track? I asked.

Chen Zaihai replied that it was a train, which is understandable. After all, we've only just experienced the feeling of speeding on a train. But that's not the answer I want to hear.

I turned my gaze to the engineer, who was visibly startled and looked at me innocently. As if to say that there is still a part of my speech in this? I nodded, and told him to say whatever came to his mind. As a result, the answer he gave me was old and in disrepair.

I immediately asked, is this the same as the railroad tracks we encountered before? After listening to this, he borrowed my miner's lamp, and squatted for a long time by himself next to the track. When he came back, he told me that there was no difference in terms of material, and that it was a sign of mass production of steel, which was commonly used in wartime, with a relatively high carbon content.

This verifies that all the rails here are a period of thought

Before I could finish figuring it out, he suddenly interrupted me, and what he said next made me a little confused. He told us that the material was indeed something from decades ago, and that this kind of steel had been used by their engineers and soldiers, and that it had been seized from the Japanese. There was no use in the troops, so they were all given to build the troops.

But there was one thing he was very concerned about, and that was the extent to which the track was abandoned. He felt that there was a big problem here. How much do I say in my heart? Isn't that what I was thinking? That was the right thing for me to say what I doubted.

One of the biggest questions I've always had about the first tracks we encountered was the extent of the abandonment.

First of all, it has been more than ten years since the liberation of 49, and there is no reason to continue to use what was left over by the Japanese back then, right?

What a quality it must be, although the quality of military products is very good, but how to say that the rails are still too much. The track we used must have had a lot of work.

Eighty percent of it has been maintained by something, and it has not been interrupted for decades, and the same is true of the two trains. How can you look at their state is too perfect, what kind of person is it, and what purpose has been doing this?

Remnants of the Japanese? It makes sense, but the length of time knows that it's impossible. A few years ago, it was good to say that if they had a lot of supplies, this kind of thing could have been done.

But what about after that? This is a huge task that has lasted for decades, although I am a layman, but I also know that the maintenance of the railway is very time-consuming and laborious, the aging of steel can not be avoided, and the thermal expansion and contraction caused by the change of seasons will seriously affect the normal use of the railway. I heard Nie Chuanhui say before that generally speaking, the railroad tracks in summer will be much longer than those in winter. On the surface you may not be able to tell that there is a difference of a few millimeters, but if you include the whole route, the extra distance will definitely be unacceptable.

This means that every once in a while the rails in some places have to be completely replaced, and where will the Japanese who have lost their supplies find this steel? It's an astronomical amount over the decades, and it's definitely not something that the remaining troops can afford. The only way to do this is to plunder from the area, but if they did, they would have been wiped out by the PLA.

In addition, it is only possible that we Chinese have done it ourselves, what organization, or what department, I can't guess at all. Anyway, the upper echelons probably don't know about this kind of thing, otherwise they wouldn't have sent us to investigate.

I don't just say the railroad tracks, it's all the Japanese buildings we've seen before. Some things have long been completely rotten, but some are so well preserved that they seem to have been used all the time.

After listening to what I said, the soldier also nodded yes, and they engineers have always had such doubts about the previous railroad tracks, but they didn't dare to say it casually without our permission. However, he immediately changed his mind, saying that he was not referring to the railroad tracks or trains he had seen before, but to the thing in front of him.

"It's the same feeling as you, Chief, and I feel the same way after observing it just now. The degree of abandonment of things here is very contradictory. He said seriously. However, this is all based on comparisons with other buildings of the same period. ”

"And I just looked at the railroad tracks and came to the same conclusion." He trembled a little when he said this, as if he had said something very terrible.

At first, Chen Zaihai and I didn't understand what he meant, and we felt the difference in the degree of abandonment just from the railroad track itself? At first glance, it sounds like playing dumb riddles, but the general level of education of the engineers is not high, and it stands to reason that they speak straightforwardly. If he says it's just the rails, it's really just looking at it, and he shouldn't be comparing it to anything else

This means that he can see the degree of scrap in the railroad track itself? It's a bit impossible, right? I felt like I'd have to wrap myself up and let him have something to say right away.

"I mean, judging by the material of the rails, it's really decades old. However, there is a contradiction between the rail itself and the material. He paused, his brows about to be wrinkled together. It seems that he is desperately searching for words to explain what he has discovered.

"I can't say that this contradiction cannot exist in reality. Materially, it should have been scrapped for decades, but when I actually checked it just now, it wasn't the case at all. He stuttered a little with excitement. Whether it's the degree of oxidation or the fatigue of steel. Everything means that the track simply didn't stay that long abandoned. No matter how I think it looks, it must have been built in the last few years. ”

Finally, he also emphasized that they later found that the material of this kind of rail had a very fatal defect in the actual project. It was completely abandoned decades ago, and the whole country, even if you search the world, you can't find a factory that still produces this kind of steel.

After saying that, he himself looked incredulous. Not to mention me and Chen Zaihai, my head was like being slapped several times with a stuffy stick, and there was a little whitening in front of me.

What does this mean? Damn it, this track was either erected a few years ago with materials that have long since disappeared, or after the Japanese erected this thing, there was nothing but something that caused this serious contradiction in the degree of scrapping!

I heard Chen Zaihai scold his mother fiercely, saying that it was better to go directly along the railway if I knew earlier, which is one more problem that I can't think of in a lifetime!
