At around one o'clock in the morning, the new model locomotive pulled the empty wagon back to the dispatch station.
At this point, there were no other cars on the road, and no one would suddenly run onto the tracks. The driver was going at full speed all the way.
There are still more than two kilometers to reach the station.
The driver blew his horn and started to slow down.
Suddenly there was a feeling of weightlessness, and my body and the front of the car flew up.
He hugged the handle with all his strength, and there was a loud "bang" in his ears, and he fell heavily on the floor of the car again.
With pain all over his body and a "buzzing" sound in his ears, the driver struggled to climb out of the front of the car.
The front of the car was tilted to the side, the air was filled with smoke and dust, and the air leaked somewhere and made a "hissing" sound.
Two black and slender lines twisted into twists in mid-air, shining with a cold blue light.
The driver looked at it blankly for a while before he realized it was a railroad track.
The noisy sounds around me swept over me like a mountain.
"Derailed."
"Something big happened."
"Comrade, are you okay? Are you injured?"
The driver's vision went dark and he fainted.
------
According to the new regulations specified by Li Wenjun, you must slow down to 50 kilometers from five kilometers before entering the station.
The driver still followed the previous operation, slowing down after two kilometers, and the dispatcher did not change lanes in advance, which led to the derailment accident.
Fortunately, the locomotive was not moving at full speed at the time, so the driver was not injured, and there was an empty wagon behind it, so there was no loss of cargo.
The locomotive rolled over on its side but was not damaged.
Originally, this accident was considered a big or small accident.
After all, any research and development progresses in a curve.
However, several other vehicle factories made a fuss about this matter, saying that the Zhuzhou Vehicle Factory was too aggressive and not safe enough.
This is still pulling goods. If we pull people, it will be a major safety incident.
The higher authorities attached great importance to this accident, and the ministries and commissions held a special seminar for this purpose.
Called Li Wenjun, Jiang Changhang, and Yang Shouzhuo over.
Then Yang Shouzhuo also deceived Lu Hanxian, saying that he was releasing new army weapons.
No one knew who Lu Hanxian was, so they thought he was a follower of Li Wenjun and the others.
Those people naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to attack Zhushi's vehicles and Li Wenjun, and the firepower was so fierce that anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that someone was instigating it.
Li Wenjun and the others did not say anything or defend themselves.
Lu Han pursed his lips when he heard this.
Finally, the host couldn't stand it anymore and asked Li Wenjun: "Comrade Li Wenjun, as an expert and supporting company of the Zhuzhou Vehicle Factory, does he have anything to add?"
Li Wenjun then smiled and said lightly: "I would like to ask everyone, do China Railways intend to always maintain the fastest speed of 100 kilometers per hour?"
Then everyone fell silent.
Isn't this nonsense?
The expressways and cars built by Li Wenjun allowed road transportation to reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
And now he is building armored vehicles. The engine horsepower is getting bigger and bigger. It is only a matter of time before he makes a super large truck.
The single transportation volume of cars will also increase.
All the advantages of railway transportation are available in road transportation.
Once the expressway network is perfected, it is obvious that the railway will die if it does not increase speed.
But Li Wenjun was also responsible for increasing the speed of cars, and now everyone is counting on him to increase the speed of railways. It always feels like buying a spear from him and buying a shield from him.
Li Wenjun said: "Railways all over the world are speeding up and expanding their networks. Above and below ground, in cities and rural areas. Are they just to transport a few people and fruits and vegetables? I don't even have to tell you. You understand the reason. Suppose there is a war in the west now, and we have to transport two people."
It would take a week to half a month to get one hundred thousand soldiers there by car alone, but it can be done in a few hours by train."
Yang Shouzhuo raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Lu Hanxian.
Lu Hanxian had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Li Wenjun said: "There are still some things, such as large machinery, that cannot be transported by car at all."
Someone snorted: "Does what you said have anything to do with the Ministry of Railways?"
Li Wenjun said: "Okay, then I will talk about what is relevant. Why Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have good economies is because of developed transportation. Cars are fine for short-distance passenger transport, but most people still choose railways or airlines for long-distance travel. But air tickets
And too expensive.”
Someone immediately retorted: "Not so many people travel long distances now."
Li Wenjun said two words slowly: "Spring Festival transportation."
Then the world became quiet.
He added: "There is still summer vacation. When life gets better in the future, everyone will go out to travel. China will have a population of more than one billion by then, and one-tenth of these people will be on the road, which is scary."
Someone snorted: "What we are discussing now is the accident at the Zhushi Vehicle Factory, not the importance of speeding up the railway."
Li Wenjun nodded: "Okay, let's talk about this accident. The top speed of the new locomotive we made has actually exceeded 200 kilometers per hour. Why did we only say 200 kilometers per hour? Because there is no suitable long enough track to test. Now
The railway cannot withstand such a high speed. This derailment was also because the quality of the rails and line switching could not keep up with the speed. What we need to do now is to upgrade the railway and dispatching systems, conduct personnel training, and strive to keep up with my speed, and
You’re not telling me not to produce such a fast and powerful front end.”
The faces of those who had just screamed turned red and white.
They originally thought that Li Wenjun's claim of a speed of 200 kilometers per hour was a bit bragging, but in fact, according to the monitoring data obtained by the people they sent there, the fact was that the top speed of the new car exceeded 200 kilometers per hour, and it was not even at full speed.
The top speed of other vehicle manufacturers' vehicles is 160 kilometers per hour, which can only be maintained for a short time.
Li Wenjun is a monster.
A technological monster.
The person who presided over the meeting said: "Okay, everyone now understands the specific situation. What Comrade Li Wenjun said is basically consistent with the results of our investigation. If you have any opinions, please give them private feedback."
The corner of Yang Shouzhuo's mouth twitched: Throw it away, it took a long time, Li Wenjun was acting for Lu Han to see first.
After the meeting, Li Wenjun invited everyone to dinner.
Some people who had just scolded him fiercely were reluctant to leave now and stayed to find out what Li Wenjun had to say.
Li Wenjun arranged for Lu Han to sit with several leaders first.
Those few people were murmuring in their hearts.
Who is this person, actually sitting on the seat?
Yang Shouzhuo and Jiang Changhang accompanied him, while Li Wenjun sat down at the bottom.
Although Lu Hanxian had a gentle face, he was as taciturn as ever.
It was Yang Shouzhuo and Jiang Changhang who were all socializing.
Li Wenjun discovered that those who grew up in the compound had one thing in common, that is, they did not speak in front of unfamiliar people.
When he was about to finish eating, Lu Han asked Li Wenjun: "If the railway speed is to be increased, where do you think it is best to start?"
Li Wenjun said: "It's the same as the steps on the highway."
Let’s start with the Beijing-Guangzhou artery, because this line has a huge demand for both passenger and freight transportation, and it is easiest to reflect the advantages of speed increase.
Once this line is operational, it will be easier to expand the network.
Lu Han nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
