Accepted the invitation of the Northwest, but when Zhan Tianyou inquired about the Northwest, he couldn't inquire at all, the Northwest did not set off directly, even if Zhan Tianyou had an empty seat on the cold bench, he had to have certain procedures, and he asked Shangguan for a ten-year vacation, and this was very easy to get, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications was not a busy yamen, except for the railway, how many railways were there in the country, and Zhan Tianyou's role was only useful in independently leading the construction of a railway, and the others were completely nothing.

got a 10-day vacation, and by the way, Zhan Tianyou also asked his colleagues about Baotou. There are all kinds of news, some are still a few years ago, or even more than ten years ago, some officials' impression of Baotou is still stuck in the past, it is just a trading town, mainly business, or only from Mongolia or more distant Russia from the fur, but the influence and scale, with Zhangjiakou, can not be compared at all. At most, some young people, or those from wealthy families, know that the recent colored cloth and brocade cloth are from Baotou, and it has caused a series of sensations in Beijing, knowing that he inquired about Baotou, and thought that he had anything to do with Baotou, and asked him to help get some colored cloth and brocade cloth.

Zhan Tianyou was flustered all of a sudden, what does he have to do with Baotou, what ability does he have to get colored cloth and brocade cloth, and ask again and again, these people don't know anything else about Baotou, which is also too strange. Hearing such a variety of information, even more confused, is it that Yang Shixun said before, is it a lie to him, there is a steel plant, for the late Qing Dynasty, let alone a steel factory, the textile industry with a larger investment, is a big satellite, shocking storage, not to mention the steel group that can produce an annual output of 10,000 tons of steel, this is also too illusory, but one thing is certain, Baotou must have changed, he was fortunate to see the color cloth, but did not see the brocade cloth, just heard, It can be said that these things are ingenious, and even such cloth cannot be seen abroad, but it is a pity that these have nothing to do with steel rails.

Cloth belongs to the category of light industry, between light and heavy industry is simply clear, this is completely two different concepts of things, can not be confused, for the rail expectations, to be exact, is the confidence in the railway, a certain way, let Zhan Tianyou decide to go to Baotou to have a look, to see this so-called northwest border town, which one to play.

With 400 yuan of Sichuan capital, Zhan Tianyou of course will not treat himself badly, to Citibank for silver dollars, directly booked a train ticket, or a first-class ticket, this ticket is not much on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, the price is not expensive, but for 400 yuan, it is nothing, no matter what, Zhan Tianyou is not spotless, he will not refuse this 400 yuan, but he will not stay, it is a big deal to use it in this journey.

In the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, the road construction and the train, this is completely different things, to be honest, he has not been unseated, when the railway stage is through, as an engineer, will take the first train, test the railway through the dù, by the way, it is also announced that the railway is through, as a guest, sitting on this train, or the first time.

The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway under his single-handed promotion, finally spent a lot of painstaking efforts to build China's first independent railway, Zhan Tianyou is extremely proud, his only regret is that he did not find the heavy steel rail, choose the cheaper light rail, in this way, the entire Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, can accommodate the transportation capacity, relatively limited, the speed of passage is slow, although in China, it is already good.

He spent his college career in the United States as a student, and the strength of the United States was almost shown in those years. Heavy rail, even the United States, which has dismantled the railroad on a large scale, has not demolished the slightest bit of the heavy rail railway, and the heavy rail, on a certain distance, represents the blood of a country, and all kinds of materials can be faster and more on the heavy rail railway, circulating in all directions, and it is an important trunk railway for any country.

The heavy rail of the American steel mill can be exported, but in terms of price, it exceeds the light rail railway several times, and the quantity cannot be guaranteed, so it needs to be booked in advance, and even most of the payment must be paid in advance. As a railway expert, Zhan Tianyou knows that the current China, can only solve the problem of having and not being, the problem of good and bad can only be left for the future, 200 kilometers of light rail railway, it cost 7 million, if it is replaced with heavy rail, at least more than 5 times, or even more than 10 times, 7 million, the center does not know how much time it spent, squeezed out from all aspects, and even called most of the income of the railway, really if it is 35 million, or even 70 million, I am afraid this road, It's always just on paper.

The whole of China, even Asia can not produce heavy rail, and even the world's several powers, can produce a standard of heavy rail rail, very few, Britain, France, Germany and the United States at most plus one Italy, the rest, even Russia is barely producing, the standard is not up to the standard at all, even Russia's own railway, do not use their own steel rails.

Baotou can produce steel rails, or heavy rails, this is what the Jin merchant surnamed Yang said, and the news has not been obtained in all aspects, the other party swears so much, there must be a certain Cheng dù above, in Zhan Tianyou's heart, a certain expectation emerged, yes or no, you will know when you go, with his eyes, it is enough to judge whether it is or not, as for the dangerous problem, he has never considered it, and it is not Longtan Tiger's Den, it is just a Baotou six or seven hundred kilometers away from Jingshi, and what is there to fear.

Sitting on the train, walking on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, Zhan Tianyou looked at the scenery outside the window, 4 years, most of his time, on this line, one by one railway bridges, one by one key places, and even one by one station, all celebrated his hard work, and even every place, he can say one, two, three, the swaying railway, but it has become his aftertaste of the past, the locomotive and the railway have a good cooperation, it took more than a dozen hours to arrive in Zhangjiakou, when with a small bag of luggage, When he came out of the station, Zhan Tianyou was in good spirits.

Zhangjiakou, itself is a large trading market, with the previous Baotou, divided into an important business port inside and outside the mouth, and Mongolia to trade in the town, and there is its Zhangjiakou more prosperous, more well-known, for no other reason, Zhangjiakou itself is close to the city of Beijing, any dynasty, close to the port of Beijing are the most developed, even the shops in the capital, have opened a branch in Zhangjiakou, Zhangjiakou's business is very lively.

At this time, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway has been fully connected, Zhangjiakou because of the relationship between the station, the station is unusually prosperous, itself, need to use a horse team, little by little to transport the goods out, now, formed a train wagon, not only faster, but also more comfortable, so the railway generation, formed an important market, in the eyes of Zhan Tianyou, This is the whole of China's industrialization of the www.biquge.info of the Billy Pavilion, rails, railways, this is the industrial blood and pulse of a country, with the power of these strong tendons, a certain degree of dù above, will enhance the firepower of the whole country, but this pulse and blood vessels are still too small, for this point, no one has much way, can only lay first, the future has strength, and then improve.

Steel rails, China has been making steel for thousands of years, and the large-scale steelmaking in West France has also started from the Hanyang Iron Works, and it has been so many years, but in so many years, it has not been possible to produce a qualified steel rail. Once in the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, Hanyang Iron Works, also recommended to him just now, as an engineer, rigor is the most critical point, this is China's first railway, if replaced by foreign engineers, maybe because of bribery, for them, but for him, absolutely not, in fact, the Pinghan Railway, which was built earlier, its design speed is extremely slow, even half of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has not been reached.

Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, said to be the whole of China, first-class railway, but compared with the advanced in Europe, the difference is not a little bit, you know, now the fastest railway in Europe, speed, has reached more than 100 kilometers, in more than 100 kilometers, this speed, is beyond their reach, the reason why they can have such a fast speed, the core in addition to the locomotive, is the heavy rail, especially the latter, the heavy rail is the foundation, once the railway is laid, and then modified the city heavy rail, not so convenient as the new railway, However, some bridges and tunnels, and many things, all need to be re-planned and designed, once the heavy rail is laid, the next is a logical process, after the laying of the heavy rail, the problem of the locomotive is easy to solve, and the introduction of advanced locomotives slowly, or simply independent research and development, it will be much easier.

Baotou, this is a place hundreds of kilometers away from Zhangjiakou, the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has greatly promoted his transportation, but from Zhangjiakou to the mouth, there are still hundreds of kilometers away, which requires Zhan Tianyou to hurry.

Zhan Tianyou was very familiar with the traffic in these places where there was no railway, he knew the rickshaw next to the railway station, he knew the location of some horse teams, casually threw a few coppers, and asked the rickshaws to pull him to the nearest horse team, and soon, in less than 10 minutes, the rickshaw came to a tall building.

"Sir has arrived!"

"Arrived?" Zhan Tianyou looked at the building in front of him, the four-storey western-style building, neat and tidy, among the many squares, it was particularly eye-catching, slightly stunned, he recognized that this was a cement red brick house, and even the outer wall was painted with cement, which looked more neat and atmospheric.

"What kind of place is this!"

"Sir, this is the station, and the trains to Baotou all depart here!" The coachman said respectfully.

Stop? Standing in front of the four-story building, Zhan Tianyou looked confused, this was completely different from what he thought, and he was about to turn around to ask, the rickshaw had already slipped away, he shook his head helplessly, and walked into the door of the small building. R1152
