Chapter 2397: What is a submarine cable

Wang Jian got off the train and personally investigated it. As a result, the problems exposed made Wang Jian very worried. On this railway section, quite a few trains have already entered such temporary railway section.

Not only these, a large number of railway workers are spreading out to build more temporary railway sections. In doing so, the engineering force for railway construction will be greatly dispersed. On the way forward, the labor force is becoming less and less, and the number of trains under pressure will become larger and larger, and in the end, a huge congestion area will be completely formed. In this case, the Qin Army's logistics supplies would be completely cut off.

Wang Jian realized that there was a problem with the front-line transportation. With Wang Jian's further understanding. Wang Jian confirmed his judgment that in the frontline transportation link of the Qin State, the Qin army had a large backlog of materials waiting to be transported here.

The infrastructure of Yan State is very poor. Under normal circumstances, after the railway transportation link, there will be a special transportation unit of the army to transport the materials, or in a relatively safe place, the Qin army will hand over the transportation work to the contractor to complete. Of course. For the goods delivered by the contractor, Qin Jun did not require a high limit, which is allowed by the contract between the two parties. But for the Liaodong battlefield, none of this will work.

The infrastructure of Yan State is very poor, especially in the undeveloped Liaodong region, where dense forests and highway facilities are basically zero. The large load-bearing locomotives used by Qin Jun and the more adaptable four-wheeled carriages were useless. Because many places are simply not suitable for such vehicle transportation. The only way is to use horses for pack transportation. However, the transportation volume and the transportation cycle will be greatly lengthened in the case of piggy-back transportation. As a result, the Qin Army's logistics supply problem became more and more serious, and it was difficult to solve it in the end.

After Wang Jian got to know it, he felt a very headache. He can only hope to use the advantages of air transportation to solve this problem. But if air power is used for transportation, the Qin army will need a lot of logistics to supply air forces with fuel. In addition, there are a lot of supplies. As a result, the logistics supply problem has increased again. Because the oil must be transported again from Yanguo Guzhu, which undoubtedly adds to the difficulties of the already nearly paralyzed railway system.

In desperation, Wang Jian could only send a telegram to the Ministry of National Defense to ask the Ministry of National Defense to solve the problem urgently.

Qi State Binhai District. At the berthing port of the "Dayun" merchant ship, several dress engineers are discussing plans, while the Dayun is intensively hoisting large cables.

"I think it would be too risky to do this. We just tried to lay submarine cables on a few nearby islands, but if we lay them out on a large scale, we will encounter great risks. You know, there are On the coast, the depth is still measurable. However, if it is farther away, we really don’t know how to deal with it. Moreover, we don’t have the information on this. Once we do it, it will have an adverse effect on us. , So I personally think. You shouldn't take this risk." Han Zhong shook his head worriedly and said. He is the engineer involved in this submarine cable.

"Do you have any solution?" Hanbok asked.

"Yes. My solution is to lay submarine cables in coastal areas. If this is the case, our engineering will be much less difficult. Maybe we will have to erect deep-sea submarine cables, but with the current level of technology, we still cannot achieve such processing technology. . But for a short period of time, we can jointly develop or use. In this way, our engineering difficulty will be reduced a lot, and the engineering speed will also be accelerated." Han Zhongyou said.

"Yeah. What do you mean?" others asked.

"I think we should pave along the coastline of Qi country to the coastline of Chu country, and then lay it on the coastline of Chu country, and directly pass through the strait to reach our Queen Island. Then we will return to the mainland again, enter the mainland coastline Lay it down." Han Zhongyou said.

"Your idea is very constructive, but if this is the case, there will be diplomatic problems. You must know that Chu’s problem is the most difficult to solve, and our cables happen to pass there. If diplomacy fails, we can only consider other things. It’s a good way. But if we do that, we must increase our technical processing level." Others said. For such a plan, they are generally acceptable, because the processing of this submarine cable still has strict requirements on the overall processing technology of South Korea, and the laying of cables in the deep sea requires a higher level of technology, especially in this regard. Qin, South Korea and other countries have not carried out related experiments, especially water pressure. They know such a kind of data after experimenting, and they must consider the impact in this regard. Restricted by various factors. They can't take a step further.

"In this case, we will report to the above, let the above think of a way, we can't do it like this at the beginning, you know, if you do it like this, there will be problems." Several engineers proposed. They decided to jointly send a telegram to their boss.

This urgent telegram quickly reached Xinzheng, South Korea.

Han Shu also dealt with this matter at the first time, because the submarine cables are of great importance.

"Well. Technology can't solve it, but if you use such a plan, you need to consult with Chu's side." Han Shu stood up and walked back and forth.

"Well. Since technology can't solve it, then I will solve this problem." Han Shu decided.

"Xiaohe, telegram, two copies, one is sent to those technical research institutes, so that they can continue to study the technology of deep-sea cables. On the other hand, we have to contact the Chu country, especially the young master, and let them Agree to build a submarine cable project through the coast of Chu State." Han Shu said.

"Yes. King." Xiaohe hurriedly began to record and drafted a telegram. The telegram was quickly sent to Jimo City, where the cable was shortly erected.

In Fan Zeng's office compound, Xin Chu's cabinet was established here. Fan Zeng began to deal with various internal affairs of the Chu army and business matters. He was the first prime minister. The prime minister and Qin had the same functions as the prime minister, but the title was different.

Fan Zeng felt very puzzled when he received the cable from South Korea.

"Here. What is the submarine cable?" Fan Zeng asked puzzledly. Perhaps in a literal sense, he can think that this is a cable under the sea. He knows what the cable is and is a wire for telegraph. But why go to the submarine construction. He didn't understand.
