Trains in the mid-to-late nineties have not yet experienced various accelerations, and the general speed remains at 60-80 km/h.

Even the direct express trains, which run through the main arteries, can travel at only 120 kilometers per hour.

This speed is not only compared with the ultra-vacuum express pipeline system of the 22nd century, but also as slow as a snail compared with the high-speed rail bullet train 20 years later.

Only after these went out of the research institute and came into contact with this era in depth, did Zhang Xingyang take the pulse of the times.

Liang Yi, who was on a business trip with Zhang Xingyang, originally planned to book a sleeper car for the two, but Zhang Xingyang refused.

Zhang Xingyang comes from the future more than 100 years later, and there are many things he doesn't know about the life of this era.

And if you want to better integrate into this era, you must have enough contact with this era.

Zhang Xingyang, who was sitting in the hard-seat car, looked curiously at the furnishings in the carriage.

The dark blue backrest of the high backrest is covered with pure white patterned cloth, and in front of it is a long black table.

There was no air conditioning in the car, but fortunately, the temperature in the south in March was neither hot nor cold, and the windows on both sides were ajar.

The gentle spring breeze blew from both sides, and Zhang Xingyang felt very comfortable.

In the 22nd century, living in a space city with a central computer in all climatic conditions is a luxury.

Sitting opposite Zhang Xingyang was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue denim jacket and carrying a black leather bag.

"Are you going south, young man?"

The middle-aged man glanced back and forth a few times on Zhang Xingyang and Liang Yi and asked.

Zhang Xingyang only came to his senses from looking at the surrounding environment at this time, and replied:

"Yes, we're going to Shonan this time, what about you?"

The middle-aged man sitting opposite listened to it and said excitedly:

"I'm also going to Shonan to visit my family."

Liang Yi looked the middle-aged man opposite him up and down at this time, his brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't help but ask out loud:

"You just came back from Da Mao's house in the north?"

Fu Yichen laughed even more when he heard this, and said:

"How do you see it, I used to be in the canned food business at Da Mao's house."

When Liang Yi heard this, he said: "You have a hairy smell when you speak, I used to study abroad with them. ”

Fu Yichen felt that the two people opposite seemed to be from a lot of background, so he hurriedly climbed up the pole and said:

"Then you studied very well before, I don't think I can do it, I didn't graduate from middle school and came out to break through, and I haven't mixed up until now."

Zhang Xingyang was a little curious, according to the later people's narratives, it seemed that he could make a lot of money by doing canned food business with Da Mao in this era, so he asked:

"Didn't you say that it's easy to do business and make money with Da Mao?"

When Fu Yichen heard this, he knew that the other party must have heard the story from those who made money, so he sighed and said:

"That was before, in the past few years, more and more people have gone to Da Mao's house to do business, and business is not as easy as before, and Da Mao's security has not been very good in the past two years, and it is very risky to do business."

Liang Yi nodded, agreeing with the other party's opinion, many of the people he knew who went to Da Mao's house to do business before came back during this time.

The reason is that there is a problem of public order, and everyone's personal safety is not guaranteed.

"By the way, since you are a native of Shonan, have you heard of Factory 703?"

Zhang Xingyang thought that the other party, as a local, might be able to get some more realistic views.

Fu Yichen was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically:

"What are you doing in Factory 703? If memory serves, it's a military factory, huh? ”

Zhang Xingyang smiled and said:

"Our unit and the 703 factory have some production cooperation matters, and we are going to talk about this aspect of the problem this time."

Fu Yichen relaxed a little at this time, pursed his lips, thought for a while and said:

"Factory 703 is an old factory, which was relocated from the Northeast during the construction of the third line, and it has been a factory directly under the military all these years."

Zhang Xingyang continued to ask: "What is the current situation of the factory, the situation of the state-owned factories is not very good during this time." ”

When Fu Yichen heard the other party's question, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"That's the right question, do you know why I went north to do business?"

Without waiting for Zhang Xingyang and Liang Yi to continue to ask, Fu Yichen himself continued:

"I was originally a worker in Factory 703, and at that time there were no orders in the factory, and I could only pay a little living expenses every month, but I still had four children to support at home.

How can this amount of money be enough for the expenses of a large family, so I can only leave my job without pay and go to the north alone.

In the past few years, my wife has also told me about some situations in the factory, and most of the people in the factory have left their jobs without pay or simply resigned, and went to the north or south. ”

Zhang Xingyang glanced at Liang Yi at this time, and Liang Yi smiled bitterly.

It is estimated that he did not expect that the situation of this factory would be so bad.

"Do you think it will be successful if the factory is reopened?"

Zhang Xingyang looked at Fu Yichen, who was a little emotional, and asked.

Fu Yichen pursed his lips and said with a little disdain:

"As for the current dilapidated equipment of the 703 factory, it is not certain whether it can still move now, and if you want to resume work, it is impossible to use all kinds of equipment alone!"

When Zhang Xingyang heard this, he turned his head sideways and whispered to Liang Yi:

"Uncle Liang, the issue of equipment renewal, we must talk to them clearly when the time comes, and it is best to let them come out of the funds involved in this regard."

Liang Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Zhang Xingyang turned his head and asked Fu Yichen again:

"What about the personnel, what about the quality of the workers in the factory?"

Fu Yichen also saw at this time that among the two people opposite, the one who really spoke was the young man in front of him who looked very young.

Therefore, of course, he will not be stingy with his words, and says:

"Some of the old workers are still in the factory, their skills are still good, and there are not many people who can really work in addition."

As a former member of Factory 703, Fu Yichen certainly didn't want to say too much bad things, but the other party was obviously not a good target.

I didn't dare to hide too much from the situation, so I could only try to pick something nice to say:

"The technical level of the masters in the factory is still very high, and they are all kinds of senior workers."

Zhang Xingyang smiled and said to the other party:

"Thank you, big brother, we will visit the site ourselves."

Liang Yi also took out two Chinese cigarettes from his pocket at this time, one handed to Fu Yichen and the other to Zhang Xingyang.

Zhang Xingyang took the cigarette and sniffed it, and put it in his pocket.

"Xingyang, don't smoke now?"

Liang Yi looked at him and raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile.

After all, Zhang Xingyang is no longer the soul he once was, and many living habits are actually different.

So he just smiled and didn't answer Liang Yi's question directly.

Leaning his arms on the car window, Zhang Xingyang blew the warm air that kept coming from the window.

Next to the train tracks is a vast field, when the trees are just sprouting buds, as if this ancient country is on the eve of its rise!
