Chapter 1290 Railroad Planning Conference

On the afternoon of May 25th in the eighth year of Tianxuan, when Qu Mao was visiting the Outlying Island Power Research Institute, he took the time to send a remote communication application to Xinping. After connecting to the remote communication, Qu Mao asked Xinping to notify the core heroes of the Holy Land to return to the lord's hut. Waiting for him to hold a meeting after returning to the lord's hut to discuss the construction and planning of the Holy Land Railway.

After Qu Mao finished his visit to the Outlying Island Power Research Institute, he rushed towards the lord's hut non-stop. When Qu Mao returned to the lord's hut, the sky had completely darkened, but Kong Ming, Xinping, Xuande, Mengde, Zhongmou More than a dozen heroes, including , Sierta Delta and Kong Fu, have been waiting for Qu Mao's return in the meeting room on the third floor of the Lord's Lodge.

Qu Mao didn't care about the exhaustion of traveling for nearly a month. After sitting down in the meeting room, he coughed twice and cleared his throat, and then said straight to the point: "Everyone, the main reason why I called you to the meeting overnight is because the steam train of the Outlying Island Power Research Institute The project has achieved important results in stages, and we must discuss the application of steam trains in advance.

  At present, the second steam train locomotive of the Island Power Research Institute is about to be assembled..."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, interrupted Qu Mao, and said, "My lord, to be precise, the Institute of Power will complete the assembly of the second steam locomotive before June 7, the eighth year of Tianxuan. This is Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng. The time node mentioned in the plan reported to the subordinate, the subordinate thinks that even if it is soon, it will not be a few days soon."

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "Although there is still a long time before the mass production of steam locomotives, I think our level must plan ahead for the future construction of the Yiwang Territory Railway."

   Xuande asked: "My lord, does the construction of a large number of railways mean that there is a greater demand for steel? I feel that the iron mines in Shacheng alone may not be able to keep up with our demand for steel..."

Meng De interrupted Xuande with a smile, and said: "Master Xuande, don't worry, there are still a large number of metal mine reserves in the holy land field resource mines and resource mines in the drawings, and these metal mines can be directly produced. Produce a lot of iron ingot resources.

  After these iron ingots are processed by the industrial chain on the four southern industrial islands, they can become direct railway tracks. With the construction of a large number of railways, the subordinates believe that the metal processing industry on the four southern industrial islands will have a chance to rise rapidly. "

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Meng De is right, no matter how many wild metal mine reserves and how many wild mine blueprint reserves we have, the iron ingots stored in the material warehouse of the lord's hut alone are tens of thousands. Billions, we have to make full use of the resources we have.

  The resource bar on the territory attribute panel, most of the heroes here are qualified to view it, and there is absolutely no harm in checking it frequently.

  Based on the current reserves of iron ingots alone, I think it should not be a big problem to support the first batch of construction plans for the Yiwang Territory Railway.

What I want to say is: The underground passages of the Holy Land can temporarily ignore the construction of railways, and even the interior of the 15 islands does not need to rush to build railways, but the railway between the entrance and exit of the underground world on the four islands and the two-way portal at the end of the underground world, It must be laid in place as quickly as possible..."

   Xinping was stunned for a moment, and asked, "My lord, are you trying to speed up the progress of the overall strategy and hegemony?"

   Qu Mao nodded, and said: "It is not necessary to fight for hegemony in advance, it is always better to be prepared in advance."

  Kong Ming shook his feather fan and said, "My lord, I must correct you again. You haven't passed through the two-way portals of the underground world for too long. There are five two-way portals in the underground world of the Holy Land, not four."

Qu Mao rubbed his nose and said: "Whether it is four two-way portals or five two-way portals, I think we must build the railway as quickly as possible, and it is best to build a double-track railway to strengthen The efficiency with which we send troops to the two-way portal.

  Now, starting from entering the entrance of the underground world, marching to the two-way portal at the end of the underground world generally takes seven days and seven nights. This marching speed is really too slow. "

Zhong Mou said: "My lord, I heard that Master Su Yan has planned 16 railways in eight vertical and eight horizontal directions on the main continent of the Eastern Continent, and they are still super long railways. Now Master Li Xiang is arranging engineers to survey the terrain. Conflict with railway construction in our holy land?"

Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "Su Yan plans a total of 16 railways in eight vertical and eight horizontal directions on the main continent of the Eastern Continent. Li Xiang has urged the engineers to complete the field survey and route planning and design as soon as possible. It is estimated that the official construction will begin on July 1st. There are still more than 30 days to go before the construction. This does not affect the construction of the railway in our holy land.

I hope that the railway between the entrance and exit of the Holy Land Underground World and the two-way portal at the end of the Underground World, let’s say five, can start construction at the same time. Of course, this also means that the steam train research and development project needs to be further accelerated, at least the speed of locomotive manufacturing must keep up. After all, both sides At the same time, at least 21 steam train locomotives will be needed at that time, which does not count the need for two-way travel, nor does it count the Shuifu Railway and Dishui Railway.

After these railways are built, the five underground world entrances leading to the two-way portal must exist independently. The eight vertical and eight horizontal railways on the main continent of the Eastern Continent still have the possibility of being connected anyway, so the manufacturing speed of steam locomotives Must speed up. "

  Zhongmou wryly smiled and said: "My lord, should I say it or not, with the current level of craftsmanship in our territory of King Yi, I'm afraid we can't support the construction of so many steam locomotives, even though this issue should be the concern of Lord Mengde..."

Qu Mao stretched out his fingers, tapped the table rhythmically, thought for a while, and then said: "Zhongmou is right, so Meng De, you have to consider building a locomotive factory in Liandao in advance, and you can't wait until Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng and Their team perfected the steam train locomotive manufacturing process before going to build a new locomotive factory, which must be built in advance.

  Once the steam locomotive manufacturing process of the Power Research Institute has phased research results, it will immediately start quantitative production, so as to catch up with our demand for steam locomotives. "

  Meng De stood up and said: "My lord, my subordinates will immediately arrange to build a locomotive factory on Liandao without delay..."

Qu Mao interrupted Meng De with a wave of his hand, and said, "Of course, the construction of the railway cannot be completed in a day or two. The two-way portal at the end of the underground world is generally more than 3,000 kilometers away from the entrance and exit of the underground world. It takes such a long time to complete the construction." The railway will take a long time.

  We must make good use of this period of time, and we must not waste a single day.

  We still have a few months or even more than half a year to produce locomotives and develop improvements to steam train locomotives, so there should be time. "

  Sirta Delta said excitedly: "My lord, is it possible that if the development of railways and steam trains progresses further, we can use trains to quickly transport troops and supplies to the battlefield?"

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Let's discuss it, there are 16 railways in eight vertical and eight horizontal directions on the main continent of the Eastern Continent. The construction must start on time. The key is the railway route of the Holy Land. We need to discuss the priority level of construction in detail. .”

Originally, when Qu Mao returned to the lord's hut, it was already dark, but a dozen core heroes had a lively discussion in the conference room on the third floor of the lord's hut. It was not until around 11 o'clock in the evening that everyone discussed a preliminary plan. plan it out.

Qu Mao stood up and concluded: "Thank you for your discussion. The issues you are concerned about are actually obvious. As long as steam trains and railways are used by civilians, they will definitely be able to greatly promote the technological and industrial development of King Yi's territory, and also greatly facilitate them. The travel of soldiers and civilians in the Holy Land.

  Combining the results of everyone's discussions, our railway construction plan for the Holy Land of King Yi's Territory is generally divided into four time periods: the preparation stage, the first stage, the second stage, and the third stage.

  The preparation stage is to complete the laying of another track of the Shuifu Railway, the laying of the double track of the Dishui Railway, and the planning of the eight vertical and eight horizontal arterial lines of the main mainland of the East Continent.

The first stage is the five railways in the Holy Land and the eight vertical and eight horizontal railways on the main continent of the Eastern Continent. 30,000 kilometers.

The second stage is to build a railway along the Purple Light Trail in the Holy Land, and use the double-track railway to connect the Purple Light Trail to speed up the time for soldiers and civilians to pass through the Purple Light Trail. Five islands. On the main continent of the Eastern Continent, it is estimated that the 16 major arterial railways are still being built. After all, there are 16 railways in eight vertical and eight horizontal directions. I estimate that the shortest ones are tens of thousands of kilometers.

  The third stage of holy land is the internal railways on super large islands like Jidao and outlying islands, such as Shuifu Railway, Dishui Railway, etc. Jidao is bigger, and I am afraid that it needs to be redesigned and planned. On the main continent of the Eastern Continent, it is estimated that the construction of 16 railways is still the main one.

  The four-stage railway construction planning is expected to be completed before the end of Tianxuan's ten years.

  The follow-up railway planning will be based on the independent planning of the independent territories of the main continent of the Eastern Continent. Under this big goal, I hope that everyone will prepare in advance, including construction workers and material preparations. "

  Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said: "My lord raises this question from the perspective of the development of the entire King Yi territory, and my subordinates think it is very safe.

   It’s just that if the economic strength allows, the subordinates hope that the second and third phases can be implemented together. After all, the Ziguang trail is all in the underground world, and it is best to connect the ground railways on the outlying islands and Jidao Islands. "

   Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "You will discuss this with Li Xiang in detail later."

   Immediately, Qu Mao took out a few blueprints from his backpack and said, "Kong Ming, you draw the railway planning blueprints and give them to Li Xiang.

  Here is the sketch map of the train station I drew, you can bring it to Li Xiang or Bi Sheng. "

  Kong Ming took the drawing, glanced at it, and said, "Yes, my lord."
