Chapter 1788, the power of machinery and tradition
"Huh~huh!"
Among the mountains and ridges, the roar of the machine resounded through the mountain streams and canyons, echoing continuously among the mountains.
Bulldozers pushed out roads one after another, excavators continued to excavate large amounts of soil and rocks, and construction trucks roared on the roads, transporting large amounts of soil, rocks, and the like.
A spacious road was suddenly opened up between the mountains and ridges that was originally just a narrow path.
In river valleys and mountain streams, where even walking is difficult, a large number of Sichuan dolls wield pickaxes and iron rods in their hands, and use baskets and poles to continuously open up trails to pave the way for subsequent road construction.
In river valleys and mountain streams, in inaccessible places, there are a large number of people here constantly hammering the foundation. It is difficult for machines to come in, so they use manpower to carry steel bars, cement, sand and gravel, etc., one load after another.
They just relied on manpower to build the foundations of each bridge.
At the foot of a large mountain, a large number of Sichuan dolls used primitive picks, shovels, baskets and poles to dig tunnels. It was extremely difficult to dig tunnels made of rocks.
There was no reaction when the hammer hit it, but this did not affect the determination of the Sichuan dolls at all. They are the most able to endure hardships and stand hard work, so this little hardship is nothing.
They saw hope, the hope that Sichuan people would develop and become rich in the future, and the mountains in front of them were nothing in their eyes.
"The drilling rig is coming, the drilling rig is coming~"
At this time, someone shouted, and saw many strong Sichuan dolls struggling to carry a drilling rig weighing several hundred kilograms. This kind of drilling rig is not powered by electricity, but is driven by an internal combustion engine. It is very heavy and heavy.
, usually it can only be transported after the road is repaired.
But in order to build the tunnel, these Sichuan kids didn't care so much. They worked together, climbed mountains and ridges, and waded across rivers to carry drilling rigs here one after another, and transported a large amount of materials for tunnel construction.
"Dong dong~dong dong~"
Soon, with the roar of the machine, the drill began to work. Under the power of the machine, the rock that was originally extremely hard and difficult to dig was easily broken like tofu.
"This machine is really good, it's very tight!"
"Isn't that right? I haven't seen those excavators, bulldozers, trucks, etc. A small mountain can be leveled for you in a few seconds. Now that we have encountered this big mountain, we have no choice but to dig tunnels."
"The road construction is still very good now. With just one bridge, mountain streams and canyons dozens of meters deep have become thoroughfares. How can I put it that way?"
“The chasm becomes a thoroughfare!”
"Enemies, enemies, the chasm becomes a clear path!"
"When this railway is built, it will be more convenient for us Sichuan people to go out. We no longer have to climb the Shu Road."
"Isn't that right? If our generation has finished this hardship, our descendants will no longer have to endure hardship and can take the train!"
The Sichuan dolls started chatting while working hard.
The speed and progress of the project were incredible to them. They originally thought it would take hundreds of thousands of people to build the railway over many years, but only after the construction actually started did they see the power of today's construction machinery.
Powerful bulldozers and excavators are so fast and convenient for digging mountains and building roads.
Where it seemed impossible to build a road before, with the work of excavators and bulldozers, a spacious and flat road can soon be built.
Teachers and students from the engineering school directly built bridges over mountain gorges of more than ten meters or tens of meters deep, which seemed difficult to cross, and suddenly they became spacious thoroughfares.
Even if the mountains seemed to need to be bypassed, they dug tunnels directly and used tunnels to penetrate the mountains. The mountain road that might have taken a day in the past was suddenly shortened to only ten minutes.
The extensive use of construction machinery has also allowed these Sichuan children to see that the world outside Sichuan has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The power of technology and machinery is rising rapidly and has become extremely powerful.
"These Sichuan dolls, they are so capable of enduring hardship."
On a hillside, Li Song held a telescope and looked at the mountains ahead. On the road that stretched for several kilometers, tens of thousands of Sichuan children were working hard.
They don't have wages, but those who do have wages have to work harder. They just carry it on their shoulders and use primitive tools to clear a lot of places in advance and open up roads for the advancement of construction machinery.
Get ready for work.
This spirit has also deeply infected people like Li Song, Yi Lunxiong, and Zhang Bin, allowing people to see the unity, hardworking, hard-working and hard-working people of Sichuan.
In this mountainous area, mechanical power and traditional power combine with each other, colliding with each other, constantly reverberating between the mountains, and building a spacious thoroughfare.
Ma Hao led a group of officials to an elevated mountain stream. He stood on the elevated structure and looked at the mountain stream and canyon below. He couldn't help but his legs were shaking. It was dozens of meters high.
In the past, it was impossible to pass through such a place. Both sides of the mountain stream and canyon were very steep, and even if it was necessary to open a trail, it would be extremely difficult.
However, now, with the construction of the elevated highway, spanning between two mountains, the spacious road is very flat. In the future, it will not only be used to connect railways, but also specially made wider, leaving a part of it for use as a road.
Highway use.
This money is made from tens of millions of taels of silver raised by Sichuan people. Using the silver on this means that now we are building not only a railway, but also a highway. In the future, when Sichuan people leave Sichuan, they will not only
You can take trains, cars or horse-drawn carriages, instead of just walking as before.
"The natural chasm becomes a thoroughfare, the natural chasm becomes a thoroughfare!"
Ma Hao couldn't help but sigh.
Only those who have actually been to Sichuan will understand how difficult the roads in Sichuan are. Once you take the Shu Road, you will not want to take it a second time.
Only those who have walked the Shu Road will understand the importance of this road to the people of Sichuan, and understand why the Sichuan children worked hard to build this railway.
Ma Hao continued walking and came to the foot of a tall mountain. This mountain has no name because no one has ever come here before.
It is very tall. If you want to climb this mountain, it will take a day even if there is a road, not to mention that there are no roads in this mountain at all.
But now, you only need to go through this long tunnel in front of you, and you can pass the mountain in just ten minutes.
Riding a horse, we kept moving forward in the long tunnel. The deeper we walked, the darker it became. Fortunately, there were kerosene lamps on both sides of the tunnel to provide lighting, and we could also encounter busy figures coming and going in the tunnel.
.
As we walked, we walked, and the vision in front suddenly lit up, and then quickly became brighter and brighter. Suddenly we could see that the road ahead turned out to be a very rare and gentle area.
"The people in this engineering school are really amazing. They are able to dig out a tunnel so accurately, and their calculations are so accurate."
After walking out of the tunnel and looking at the gentle and open road in front of him, Ma Hao couldn't help but sigh.
"Sir, wherever you look, that's the Shu road we used to take!"
At this time, an official pointed to a mountainside not far away, where he could vaguely see a mountain road winding between the mountains.
"Really!"
When Ma Hao heard this, he quickly picked up the telescope and looked at it, and he could see the mountain road clearly.
"It's really the way of Shu!"
Ma Hao looked at the winding Shu Road on the mountain, and then at the flat and open road in front of him, and immediately sighed: "Without this tunnel and the viaduct in front, it would be impossible to have such a flat road.
"
"Yes, sir!"
"Sun Pan, Qiu Ye and others actually said that it is impossible to build a railway here. How can they understand the construction of railways and roads? This kind of professional work should be done by professional people."
"Now we are not only repairing, but our speed is also quite fast, and the road we have built is very smooth. It will be much easier for us Sichuanese people to get out of Sichuan in the future."
The officials next to him also nodded and said.
Only by walking on the Shu Road several times and walking on the roads currently under construction can you truly feel the power of modern engineering technology.
The roar of the machine resounded through the mountain streams and canyons, echoing among the mountains. From time to time, at the end of the road ahead, there were loud explosions. The explosions were accompanied by the rolling of rocks, and shocked the mountains and forests.
Birds and beasts.
On the road that stretches for several miles, Sichuan dolls shout chants, sing folk songs, and work hard to build a road leading to wealth.
“It’s really the right time, the right place, and the right people!”
Ma Hao looked at such a scene and sighed again and again. The road to Shu is difficult, but with the combination of machinery and traditional power, the road to Shu will become a thoroughfare.
It was not only the officials in Sichuan who recorded this scene, but also everyone involved in the road construction, as well as the newspaper reporters who came after hearing the news. They recorded it with pens and quickly published everything here in the newspapers, letting everyone know.
People all over the world can see the spirit of Sichuan people in building roads.
