Tianxin City, a wasteland more than ten miles away. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It is the early spring, the cold of winter has not yet receded, before the spring returns to the earth, the cold wind is seizing the last time to torture the earth, most of the deciduous plants are still bare, but the grass on the grass is impatient to show its emerald green head!

But it's a pity that these little grasses finally survived the claws of winter, but they didn't expect to be trampled off their heads as soon as they showed their heads!

Today is the big day of the start of the railway, just after breakfast time, the construction site began to make a fuss, a seriously overloaded semi-trailer pulled more than ten meters or even longer rails, came to the construction site, at the same time, in addition to the workers who rushed to work, there are many idlers who came to see the excitement!

The railway is different from the dam, the construction site is close to Tianxin City, and it is very convenient to come and go, and the railway is a rare thing, no one has ever seen it, so there are really a lot of people who come to see the excitement.

At nine o'clock in the morning, after the workers arrived, Ma Tingfa made a symbolic opening remarks and waved his hand

Start!

The construction of the railway is actually very simple, as long as the rails are done and the rails are directly laid on the ground one by one, and then twisted on the screws to fix, and then installed the sleepers, and finally sprinkled with stones, it is done, the construction difficulty is not high, the only thing that is a little challenging is to open the tunnel and build the mountain bridge.

The total number of people involved in the project exceeded 30,000, not including the guards and demomen sent by Zhang Zheng, and the number of people who built the railway was 10,000 or 20,000 less than the number of people who built the dam, but 30,000 was also a lot.

Unlike the construction of dams, the railway is spliced together section by section, so it is impossible to use up 30,000 people in one go, think about it, 30,000 people, plus machinery, just in order to assemble the rails one by one, a section of the railroad track is only more than 20 meters long, so many people, where to put it!

So why do you want to recruit so many people in one go? Do you raise idlers? Naturally not!

Road construction is different from other projects, it has its own way of playing.

Whether it's damming, building a house or something else, it has to be done step by step, and in a big case, it's useless if there are too many people, because there are so many things that can be done, but the road is different, and no matter how many people can eat, because the road can be divided into several parts at the same time, a road can be divided into several sections at the same time, and finally as long as each section of the road is repaired together!

For example, if I want to build a road, if I build it from beginning to end, it will take three months, but if I divide the road into three sections, each section will only take one month to complete, and if the three sections are started at the same time, it will only take one month to complete the merger, that is, it will only take one month to repair the whole road, which is two-thirds of the time saved than the first way, isn't it cost-effective?

Zhang Zhengxiu also adopted the same method for the railway, 30,000 people, first divided 5,000 people out into the forest to cut wood to make sleepers, and the remaining 25,000 people took 10,000 people to dig tunnels and build bridges over mountain streams in the places that had already been finalized and needed to dig tunnels!

The remaining 15,000 people were divided into five teams, each with 2,000 people, and were responsible for the construction of the roadbed for about 200 miles, and the rest of the people were responsible for installing railroad tracks and other matters along the roadbed in a step-by-step manner.

The total length of the railway is more than 1,100 kilometers, if it is only the construction of the roadbed, it can be completed in less than a month, but the tunnels and bridges may take about three months, and the final laying of the railroad tracks may take four months to half a year, that is, as long as it takes about half a year, the railway between Tianxin City and the imperial capital can be opened to traffic.

Some people say that it is impossible to build a railway so quickly, because the railway is a very technical thing, even in the previous life, there are many countries that cannot be built, let alone in a backward world like the glorious road, hehe, Zhang Zheng does not deny such a statement, but there is one thing that needs to be made clear, only electrified railways require high technology to complete, Zhang Zheng He built the rails required by steam trains, this kind of thing, there was at the end of the feudal society in the previous life, how high can the technical content be?

The rails are paved, the steam train is exchanged from the system, and after the assembly is completed, you can run with the boiler lit, which is outrageously simple!

......

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, Ma Tingfa finished assigning tasks, tens of thousands of people were divided into four or five teams and rushed to their respective target areas, those who made holes went to make holes, those who built bridges went to build bridges, those who were responsible for cutting trees threw away their hoes, took big blades, and rushed into the nearby mountains to cut down trees with high spirits, each performing their duties, and the rest of the people were the workers who stayed in place and prepared to start laying railroad tracks.

The railroad track began to be sent to the construction site from the dawn of the day, to this point, the plain has been thrown full of a pile of bosses, because the first section of the construction is on the plain, so the others can do nothing, just open the paving, even the roadbed is exempt, just use the official road where people come and go before to do the roadbed, anyway, it is the plain, from where to go!

After the order to start construction was issued, thousands of workers who stayed in place rushed up, lined up the rails one by one, and then screwed them to roll and fix, laying a length of several kilometers in one morning, and in the afternoon, the first batch of sleepers and gravel were sent to the construction site, and then the people who installed the rails were divided into two waves, one wave continued to lay the track forward, and the other wave loaded sleepers in the rear and sprinkled gravel!

Since the personnel began to disperse, the speed will definitely be a lot slower!

The day passed quickly, and at the end of the evening, Zhang Zheng deliberately measured the distance, and found that the laying distance of this day actually reached an astonishing thirty miles, which was not scary enough, but Zhang Zheng knew that the reason why there was such a high efficiency today was because there was no need to dig the roadbed and saved a lot of effort, and the progress of the project behind would only become slower and slower

After all, the railway can't always go along the official road, yes, the official road is indeed spacious, but, from Tianxin City to the imperial capital, the terrain is not all plains, there are mountains and hills along the way, and the official roads are built along the mountain range, naturally uphill and downhill and twists and turns, the rails must not do that, which railway have you seen uphill and downhill, and there is a mountain road of 180,000 in the middle, no, even if there is a bend, it is also a big bend with a small bend, who has ever seen a train run a sharp bend?

Therefore, this plain area near Tianxin City can be faster, once it enters the mountainous area, the speed will slow down in a straight line, Zhang Zheng's plan is to complete it within half a year, as long as he can finish work on time, Zhang Zheng is very satisfied, he doesn't need to progress fast. Because, Zhang Zheng still needs time to do something else!

First of all, the speed is too fast, the speed of the factory's production of rails can't keep up, and another, in less than half an hour, the train station can't get up!

Since the railway has started, the railway station must also be launched immediately, and there can be no delay, so on the third day of the railway, Zhang Zheng once again recruited thousands of people, and the railway station started, and the person in charge was the big disciple and right-hand man sent by Ma Tingfa.

After finishing the things on his own turf, Zhang Zheng not only didn't feel how relaxed, but was a little distressed, and there was no other reason, or because of the station, since the railway is going to lead to the imperial capital, then just a firepower station on his side will definitely not work, and the imperial capital must also have one, otherwise where will the train stop when it arrives in the imperial capital?

Or, just set up a straw hut over there as a ticket office, and then the passengers buy tickets at the straw hut and get on the bus in the barren mountains and mountains, can that be done? Zhang Zheng felt unbearable when he thought about that scene.

No, no matter what, we have to let the Flame Emperor build a station in the imperial capital.

After making up his mind, Zhang Zheng sent a letter to the Flame Emperor on the same day, and the way of transmitting the message was very traditional, magic messenger!

After passing the message, Zhang Zheng suddenly had another idea

The magic message is too LOW, no, it's not LOW, the words are wrong, in essence, the magic message is still very high, but, tall and tall, it's inconvenient, you have to ask the magician for help, you can't find the magician, you can only run to the magician's guild, it's very troublesome, not to mention, the cost is not small, Zhang Zheng just passed a letter of a few hundred words, and it cost more than a hundred gold coins.

After passing the letter, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and he regretted it in his heart, so he knew that he would go to the base to find someone to pass it on, of course, it would be better if he had a mobile phone! Thinking of the mobile phone, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, and immediately ran home and locked himself in the study, and he didn't know what he was planning.

In the evening, the imperial capital

The Flame Emperor finally finished his day's work, and after dinner, he walked alone in the inner garden of the palace, and not long after he walked, a palace guard came briskly to report

"Your Majesty, I received a magic letter from Tianxin City, it was from City Lord Zhang!"

After speaking, the guard bowed down and handed over a letter to the Flame Emperor, who took it casually and waved his hand to signal the guards to go down, and after the guards left, the Flame Emperor muttered quietly

"This kid will actually send me a message, it's really the sun hitting the west, so let the emperor see what you want to do!"

After muttering, the Flame Emperor opened the letter and read it seriously, and after a while, the Flame Emperor finished reading the letter, and then frowned slightly and muttered to himself

"Railways, train stations, is that kind of magic tool that he says can transport tens of thousands of people at once? It seems to be very good...... I just don't know, if you kid has bad intentions......"

The emperor's eyes flashed from time to time, and he secretly pondered for a long time before closing the letter

"That's it, tomorrow when the court meeting will talk to the hundred officials, if you can, for the sake of the people to have a more convenient trip, Ben Di will take the risk and help you repair a station!"

After saying that, the Flame Emperor found that there was another letter under the letter, and when he opened it, he found that it was a drawing

"Hehe, even the drawings were sent, it's very thoughtful......"
