The speed of the carriage exceeds the railway, which sounds unlikely, but in the early stage of the train, especially in this land of China, it is very normal, on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, it will not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, especially when some climbs or tunnels, the speed of the train will be reduced, which is very normal, but in the case of better road conditions in the city, 30 kilometers is a very common, and the light carriage and fast horses can easily reach 30-40 kilometers per hour, but this speed, It doesn't last.

Zhan Tianyou's heart was full of questions, can Zhangjiakou really build such a long road, the next journey proved this, after coming out, the speed has not weakened much, the carriage has not stopped, has been maintained this fast, and the rapid speed, let the carriage move forward quickly on the road, a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, an hour, more than 40 kilometers per hour, a certain distance dù, so that this place is already far away from Zhangjiakou, Zhan Tianyou only noticed that these cement roads have been extending here, In addition to Zhangjiakou, it is faster, you know, the cement road in Zhangjiakou is only about 7 meters, but here, there are more than 40 meters, and the two-way is enough to accommodate more than 6 carriages side by side, which means this, this is a fast road, and it is unobstructed.

But can this speed last, a distance of about 350 kilometers, if it has been driving at a speed of 40 kilometers or even above, he no longer doubts that the carriage will arrive in Baotou in 8 hours, as long as this road has been so passable, arrival, it should not be a problem, the only doubt is that what if the horsepower is exhausted.

The speed of the heavy pull-back horse is not fast, he is not known for being fast, 40 kilometers can still run, but in this case, at most 2 hours, it will lose its horsepower, about two hours later, a large building appeared in front of it, the speed of the carriage began to slow down, the heavy pull-back horse, plus a large carriage large enough to accommodate 50 people, to slow down, need to buffer, it took about 10 minutes to reduce the speed, stop in the front of the house, these people, get down to the toilet, and, Naturally, there are highway workers who carry out the work of changing horses.

Changing horses, Zhan Tianyou watched another heavy horse being pulled out, replacing the one that had consumed a lot of body lì pull horse, he already understood a qiē, change horses, people do not change, horses change, has maintained such a high speed, obviously, this is the true meaning of fast buses, in this way, from here to Baotou, you need to change horses 4 times, a bus, actually invested so much, heavy horses, are imported, and the price is extremely expensive, more expensive than ordinary thoroughbreds, is military supplies, Under British surveillance, it can be seen that the strength of this Baotou Chamber of Commerce is very strong.

Many Chinese chambers of commerce or dignitaries, they are in the country, for various reasons, the strength is strong, the background is profound, do not put the ordinary people in their eyes, ignore people's lives, oppress the good, really to the international level, the great powers do not care about you at all, the country is weak, in the world is the object of bullying, even if you are powerful, it is completely useless, can import and buy heavy horses, and depending on the situation, there are at least a few hundred horses, this is definitely not a small force.

In this case, Zhan Tianyou has a certain confidence in this trip to the northwest, no matter what, a guy with such a deep background and even a strong force may really be able to complete the production of steel rails, or have the strength to purchase qualified heavy rails.

The change of horses was very fast, and the waiter and the groom told everyone that there was only about 3 minutes, and if there was anything needed to speed up, most of the people were waiting in place, and only a small number of people went to the toilet to go to the toilet. When the carriage drove again, the speed seemed to increase significantly, and there was a commotion ahead, Zhan Tianyou noticed that the waiter was opening several large boxes, Zhan Tianyou remembered that when he got off the carriage last time, these big boxes were not, obviously, they were brought up when changing horses.

The service staff took out a tray from the box, and at the back of each seat, a stand can be put down, and these plates can be placed, this is a free lunch, it is the appearance of fast food in the future, one for each person, four dishes and one soup, the soup is placed at the entrance, you need to go there to serve, and the rest can be enjoyed with peace of mind.

Most of the passengers have come many times, and they are no strangers to such meals, and they all began to eat, as for Zhan Tianyou, he was surprised, which seemed to make him return to the years in England, where he also ate such a working meal, a simple one or two dishes, the staple food is rice or cotton bales and the like.

On the contrary, some people are not happy, some have just come here, they are dissatisfied with these meals, for this, the waiter of the carriage did not say much, if you don't want it, take it away directly, their change of horses, just a few minutes, there is no time left for eating, when the waiter takes it away, those guys began to panic, began to ask the waiters, and the waiters brought their meals.

The meals are good, they are all traditional Chinese dishes, Zhan Tianyou is a person who has lived a hard life, when the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was built, he has always eaten and lived with the workers, and he has eaten many times more difficult than this one, not to mention such a meal with color and flavor, it can be said that this so-called passenger transport company has done a good job in this regard.

Four dishes and one soup, a small bowl of rice, Zhan Tianyou ate a clean, and used a special rice bowl, and made half a bowl of soup in front, seaweed egg soup, and there is actually seafood, obviously, this investment is not very small, seaweed is a thing, it is common on the seaside, but it is rare in the mainland.

The carriage continued to drive, a long distance, after more than two hours of driving, especially after eating, Zhan Tianyou was a little groggy, in the stable carriage, falling asleep, most of the other passengers were like this, the carriage seemed to slow down slightly, left and right left before the change of horses, only 12 o'clock at noon, before 6 o'clock, you can still arrive in Baotou.

Finally, Zhan Tianyou woke up, looked around, most of them were still asleep, look at the sun, it was already about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it is estimated that there will be a period of time to be able to reach Baotou, the winter in the north, it is always so easy to get dark, almost 6 o'clock, the sky is going to be completely dark, think about it, when it is dark, you should be able to reach Baotou.

At this time, the waiter stepped forward and informed everyone of the location of the road, which is about 30 kilometers away from Baotou, according to this trip, it will not take more than an hour to arrive at Baotou, and even to be exact, it has reached the boundary of Baotou.

You know, now Baotou, is different from a few years ago Baotou, just a small town, along with a variety of industrial investment, Baotou has a permanent population of 600,000 people, even if it is just a residence, all need a huge area, the urban area has expanded a lot, especially the construction of industrial zones and power generation clusters, Baotou urban area is expanding at an astonishing speed.

At this time, there was a shadow next to him, a person who had just arrived in Baotou, and even called out in a lost voice, Zhan Tianyou also followed his voice to look over, and saw his unforgettable scene, in the south of Baotou, a large area, everywhere is under construction, a neat, assembly line of the plant, has stood in the north of Baotou, obviously, this is a large industrial area, when, in China, there is such a large industrial area.

Zhan Tianyou was stunned, he was a technical cadre, he had returned from studying in the United States, and he had learned quite a lot of technical cadres, unlike other officials who only knew how to shout, he knew very well that the other so-called Westernization Movement Zhongtang, they built a small textile workshop, all of them made a big fanfare, for fear that others would not know, let alone such a large industrial area. Not to mention in China, such an industrial zone, even in the United States, in Europe, is rare, looking at the surrounding businessmen, it seems that they are also waking up, they are very familiar with the place of a qiē, the purpose of coming to Baotou, is to acquire a variety of products, in fact, after entering the Baotou Industrial Zone, a certain distance dù above, you can get off, the carriage will be according to the destination of each passenger, send them to a similar intersection, so that they can save some time, time is money, this, in Baotou, It is already a recognized thing, and the faster to find a place and the faster to exchange for various commodities is where the commercial spirit of Baotou lies.

Along the way, factories, match factories, cement factories, daily necessities factories, chemical factories, soap factories, small hardware factories, all kinds of factory names, the classification is complete, it can be said that based on foreign characters, can be found in Baotou, Baotou has a large number of light industry, as long as these factories, not the so-called appearance of goods, a certain amount of output value, can be big, a businessman who is obviously worth a lot of money, get off in the corresponding place, and quickly run to their wealth.

There were fewer and fewer people in the carriage, Zhan Tianyou turned from initial shock to numbness, and in the end, he even frowned a little, because he was already close to a large residential area, and the population was relatively prosperous, and it was obvious that he had entered the central city of Baotou. However, in the end, Zhan Tianyou did not see that the so-called towering steelmaking blast furnace, which is the biggest symbol of an industrial zone, the smoke that soared into the sky, looked relatively unsightly, but in fact, on behalf of the power of the industry, steel is the backbone of a country, with steel, other qiē can be smooth production, machinery and equipment, tools, guns, almost a category is perfect, a country's combat effectiveness and potential, in many ways, is equal to steel, which is also an important symbol.

There is no steel, there is no steel-making blast furnace, how is this steel produced, is it that this time, he was deceived? R1152
