Chapter 1348 Current status of railway construction

Author: Xiaoyaohu

Qu Mao brought up the matter of railway construction, and Kong Ming and Xuande looked at each other. Kong Ming just gave an example, but they didn't expect Qu Mao to start discussing this issue immediately.

"So, what is the current status of railway construction in King Yi's territory?" Qu Mao asked directly without taking into account the emotions of Kong Ming and Xuande.

Kong Ming had no choice but to shake his goose feather fan and said: "Sir, the railway construction on the islands in the Holy Land is actually not very good. There are only two railways from the Outlying Islands Power Research Institute to Fucun Shipyard, and from the Outlying Islands Power Research Institute to Di Port. We are here

Railways were also built along the central axis of Ji Island's original resistance to the anti-rebellion village alliance, but there were no apparent railways on other islands.

However, railways have been built for the Purple Light Path in the Underground World, which connects 10 islands underground.

There is also a railway between the entrance and exit of the underground world leading to the two-way portal at the end of the underground world. The double-track railway has been built.

It is not as good as the total mileage of the 16 railways on the main continent, which are eight vertical and eight horizontal. Although there are 16 railways on the main continent, which are eight vertical and eight horizontal, none of them has been completely completed yet.

Of course, the railways from the new imperial city to the old imperial city of Liusu Empire and the railways from the new imperial city to the capital of Gir Province are already under construction.

However, Sir, you need to clearly know that the current production capacity of Liandao Locomotive Factory is only 18 locomotives per year. The five underground passages in the Holy Land require 10 train locomotives, the Shuifu Railway, the Shuidi Railway, and the Jidao Railway together.

Six train locomotives.

Although a total of 16 railways, eight vertical and eight horizontal, on the main road of Dongda Road have not been completely completed, the total number of locomotives used in each stage is about 32, and only 18 of them have been laid.

The construction of a total of 16 railways, eight vertical and eight horizontal, started on July 1, the eighth year of Tianxuan. Although it has not been completely completed, it is within the borders of the Liusu Empire, Hongye Principality, and other early independent territories that we occupied in the early days.

The railways have been built and are just waiting for the steam locomotives to be put into operation.

Overall, the scale of the railways in the Holy Land of King Yi and the independent territories combined is still amazing. The only shortcoming is that the production speed of locomotives is too slow and cannot meet the speed of our railway development.

Of course, the planning of railway transportation around the new imperial city of Liusu Empire has been completed, but it is still in the stage of laying monorail. Sir, if you want to vigorously plan railway construction, I am afraid it is not appropriate. We may need to solve the production capacity of trains and locomotives first.

.”

Xuande said: "Sir, my views are not completely consistent with those of Lord Kong Ming. At present, the railways in the Holy Land of King Yi's territory are mainly underground railways, and the utilization rate of locomotives is not high. I feel that we can directly connect the underground passages of the Holy Land to

The trains and locomotives were mobilized to support the operation of iron wheels on the independent territories of the main continent.

The underground world of the Holy Land can take out at least 10 train locomotives, and even freight carriages and passenger carriages, and transport them to the main continent of the Eastern Continent for use.

After all, there are a total of 16 roads in the Eastern Continent, eight vertical and eight horizontal. As long as the railway between the two railway stations has been repaired, its application can directly generate income..."

Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Xuande and said: "If we want to expand the railway construction plan, we naturally need to solve the problem of locomotive production capacity and the production capacity of passenger carriages and freight carriages in advance..."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said, "Sir, isn't this a very appropriate move?

Whether it is to expand the production capacity of locomotives, passenger cars and freight cars, or to expand the number of railways to be built at the same time, it means a large need for steel resources..."

Xuande also said: "Sir, although the application prospects of trains and railways on the main continent of the Eastern Continent are very broad, the utilization efficiency is not very high due to problems such as locomotives and residents' cognition.

The steel production capacity matter that Lord Kong Ming talked about is also a very important issue..."

Qu Mao once again waved his hand to stop the two of them from talking, and said: "The residents' cognition can be considered later, but at this stage, the enthusiasm of resident entrepreneurs for the development of our newly captured independent territories in the northwest region of the Eastern Continent far exceeds our initial expectations.

planning.

Because I think our steel industry is enough to support more than ten times the improvement of our railway construction plan, although the current steel industry in the northwest region is mainly the voluntary behavior of residents.

If the holy land of King Yi intervenes in the mining of metal mines in the northwest region, I think it is not a problem to double the steel production capacity in the northwest region."

Xuande thought for a while and said: "Sir, since you said so, I believe that the twelfth year of Tianxuan will be the year for our King Yi territory to vigorously develop the railway."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, frowned and began to think about Qu Mao and Xuande's views.

Qu Mao continued: "Well, we can plan ahead.

As for the insufficient production capacity of locomotives, passenger cars and freight cars, I think we can build a large number of factories and quickly expand production capacity.

Especially for cargo carriages and passenger carriages, there is no great production difficulty or complicated production process. You can just copy the factory. Isn't the production capacity increased very quickly?

As for the steam locomotive of the train, it is actually not that difficult. I think that on the one hand, we can use reinforced concrete buildings to expand the production capacity of Liandao Locomotive Factory. On the other hand, we can also find an island among Jidao or the four southern industrial islands to build a new train.

The locomotive factory may not even be limited to building just one train locomotive factory."

Xuande thought for a while and said: "Sir, let's do this. The expansion of the production capacity of the Liandao Locomotive Factory and the new train locomotive factory on the four southern industrial islands will be left to Mr. Meng De of the Ministry of Industry.

My subordinate is responsible for building a military-industrial train and locomotive factory on Jidao, which mainly produces military trains and locomotives. What do you think?

As for the passenger carriages and cargo carriages, just copy the factory and leave them all to the Ministry of Industry."

Qu Mao nodded and fully communicated some of the issues he had thought about with Kong Ming and Xuande and exchanged opinions.

The three of them chatted for a whole morning in the living room on the first floor of the lord's hut. During lunch, the three of them ate together in the restaurant on the first floor of the lord's hut. While eating, they continued to discuss the planning of the Holy Land Railway in King Yi's territory.

Finally, Qu Mao concluded: "Kong Ming, Xuande, what we exchanged this morning, please find a time to discuss it with Li Xiang later.

At the year-end summary meeting of the 11th year of Tianxuan, if it really doesn't work, we will set up a department specifically in charge of railway construction and train transportation, let's call it the Ministry of Railways and Fire.
Chapter completed!
