Chapter 1016 Visit
In the past few days, a group of special tourists appeared in Shangguo. They were wearing unique clothes and carrying special temporary certificates and walking around.
Their temporary proof is very special - they have 90% of the citizens' rights and interests of Shangguo. This is a certificate that the Shangguo has never issued. In the past, either a temporary proof or a formal citizen proof; this temporary proof of 90% of the citizens' rights is really very special.
Basically, they have the rights and interests of citizens of Shangguo. But some "key" are not available, such as libraries cannot enter at will, and the right to buy some precious items is restricted - in short, they can feel all the benefits of citizens of Shangguo, but they will decisively cut them off in key areas.
Liu Jie walked on the land of Shang Kingdom with three small tails (Han Chang, Li Ji, Zi Ling'er). It was the third day.
Over the past three days, Liu Jie has seen a unique world. He has never thought that there would be such a country in this world.
There are no nobles here, no emperors here, and there are even elections here; in addition, there are industry and commerce, scientific research, capitalism, rule of law ideas, and compulsory education for all...
At first, when Liu Jie heard that Li Xian did not meet him and asked him to play for a month, Liu Jie was still a little dissatisfied and felt that the wise king seemed a little arrogant. However, after two days of leaving, Liu Jie changed his mind. He thought that the wise king was a far-sighted person.
The more you come into contact with, the more you admire Li Xian, and you can't help but want to go and talk to Li Xian on the night with you now - how did this wise king build such a country?
After three days in Beidou City, Liu Jie decided to leave Beidou City and go to another place to take a look.
Where to go? Liu Jie opened a map, a map with clear color and marked marks. In Liu Jie's view, such a map should be used as a military secret, but the streets are everywhere in Shangguo.
Following the map route, Liu Jie wandered around, thinking about the "news" here in Shangguo. Suddenly, Liu Jie had a goal - the Wu Yue Cross-Sea Bridge Project.
This is a huge project recently announced by the Shang Dynasty. It is said that it is the Wuyue Cross-Sea Bridge, but it is actually a major artery connecting Anyang to Yueguo Guduji. This major artery stretches for 40,000 kilometers and heads south from Anyang to the coast. It spans thousands of rivers, small ditches, mountain valleys and other rivers along the way.
The major artery began to move south from Anyang, passed through Beidou City, passed through the former land of Jin, Liu, Bian, Sima Empire, and then passed through other small countries and finally connected to the former land of Wu, including Qingcheng, and then connected to the former capital of Yue, Kuaiji.
Compared with the Shang and Zhao artery, the construction of this artery is more complex and the project is more vast. Especially at the southernmost end of this project, the sections of roads built in the former place of Wu and Yue, where almost all of them are viaducts.
There is no way, the old land of Wu and Yue Kingdom is crisscrossing rivers and even the islands are fragmented, so you can only build an overpass.
Also, this major artery has to pass through many large rivers, which also requires ships to pass through, which makes the viaduct construction very high.
In addition, these major arteries have to be divided into two layers, the upper layer is a highway and the lower layer is a railway.
Liu Jie skillfully opened the computer next to him to search for relevant information. The main artery has just started construction; to be precise, the section from that to the former land of Liu State has long been built; most of the former land of Bian State was also built; mainly the southward land of Bian State, especially the former land of Wu and Yue State.
The cross-sea bridge in the former Wu and Yue area is the core of the project.
At this time, the "result picture" has been given on the Internet, which is the rendering of Wu Yue's cross-sea bridge: it is beautiful and shocking. From here, Liu Jie felt a determination to transform the world.
Because the railway was needed, the cross-sea bridge did not have the design of a cable bridge. However, the huge steel arch bridges were still touching. In the design drawing, Liu Jie saw an arch bridge that was 1,000 meters long; in order to ensure strength, the entire arch bridge actually used the refining technology of magic tools.
"This is the real national weapon, a national weapon!" Liu Jie was a little confused and turned to his disciples around him and said, "Please pack up, let's set off in the afternoon and go to Qingcheng."
"Okay..." Zi Ling'er jumped happily. After coming to Shang Kingdom, Zi Ling'er had already removed the disguise on her body. Although her purple and golden eyes were a little weird, the people in Shang Kingdom were very nervous. Not only did they not care, but they were also very welcome. Xie Yuhua has said many times that we can report to our Zizhu Group.
As for Han Chang and Li Ji, they were much more stable; they followed Liu Jie a few years ago and were much more mature.
After a simple cleaning, the four of them arrived at the airport. However, they met the young master of the military strategist, Sun Yousheng, while boarding the plane. The life on the aerospace aircraft carrier has become very familiar to everyone, so they naturally have to say hello when they meet.
Sun Yousheng took out the candy from his pocket and handed it to Zi Ling'er. Tang Guo, who was so energetic, looked extraordinary at first glance. Zi Ling'er happily called uncle and took the candy and started eating it.
Sun Yousheng smiled before saying to Liu Jie: "Brother Liu, I am going to go to Qingcheng to see the construction of the Wuyue Cross-Sea Bridge."
Liu Jie: "A coincidence, I'll go and have a look. I think the construction of the cross-sea bridge is related to the technology, people's livelihood, military, national policy, etc. of the Shang Dynasty, and is a concentrated reflection of the Shang Dynasty's national strength. It is very necessary to go and take a look."
Sun Yousheng nodded and smiled, "I think so too. And from a military perspective, a country's construction ability, logistics guarantee ability, etc. are all very important.
Also, the knowledge, tools, etc. used during the construction process, and even the spirit of the workers, are worthy of attention.
I originally wanted to go to Xinghuo University to take a look, read the compilation of "Wanzang Complete Book", see the human body replication technology, etc., but after thinking for a long time, I would go to Qingcheng first."
The plane slowly soared into the air. Sun Yousheng and Liu Jie had a very enthusiastic discussion, and even attracted some elite businessmen around the country to join in the discussion.
…………
In the south, Qingcheng, this was once an enclave of five thousand miles in radius; now this enclave has been officially embraced by Shang.
However, years of drought and war have made the people on Yingzhou suffer and starved all over the world.
After the rapid expansion of the Shang Dynasty, it opened up the 100,000-mile territory in the eastern part of Yingzhou in one breath, allowing the remaining people in the 100,000-mile territory to see hope. They are no longer restricted by national borders, no longer need to be forced to recruit soldiers, nor do they need to go to the front line for a bite...
However, after the disaster, the people can be said to have one out of ten, and the rest are also very miserable.
Fortunately, the Shang Kingdom had sufficient food and a large amount of food provided by Yingzhou East China Sea began extensive rescue.
Song Hengsheng sat bored on the lounge chair and basked in the sun. Looking at the lively scenes around him, he was also a little moved.
Speaking of which, when the Great Xia Kingdom collapsed, the Song Hengsheng family also experienced such wars. Fortunately, the Great Xia Kingdom was not very chaotic or drought at that time, and the Wise King quickly ended the chaos in the Great Xia Kingdom. At that time, Song Hengsheng was only in his early ten years old, and the Shang Kingdom began to try to popularize education.
When Song Hengsheng entered school, his parents refused to let him go, and no one knew what it meant to enter school; and ten-year-old children could already do housework. In short, Song Hengsheng was educated under the compulsory state.
I know that six years ago, Song Hengsheng graduated from high school. Because of his excellent grades and outstanding contributions to engineering planning and construction, he joined the Infrastructure Corps of Shangguo and later became the "Infrastructure Group". It was a construction team at the national level of Shangguo. The team actually had tens of millions of workers.
From that moment on, Song Hengsheng began his alternative career. While working and studying, he gradually became a small engineer, and now he has become a junior road and bridge engineer, which is already a good position.
According to the current standards of the Shang Kingdom, Song Hengsheng's annual salary is 50,000 taels of gold, and there are other liquid spiritual energy, cultivation resources, etc. Such a life is simply a life of a god for Song Hengsheng.
But Song Hengsheng did not stop making progress. Although he lives a worry-free life in Shangguo, everyone has dreams and the competitive pressure is also great. Song Hengsheng also has a small ambition - one day he can go to Tianwaitian and direct the construction of cross-border channels!
It sounds a bit arrogant, but Song Hengsheng believes that judging from the current situation and development speed of Shang Dynasty, there may be that day, and it won’t be too long.
Today is the rest day for Song Hengsheng and his construction team. When they are idle, a group of people come to pack porridge. They also recruit some workers. These ordinary refugees cannot be considered citizens of Shang State, and Shang State has a higher and higher standard for citizens.
However, they are not citizens, but also people from the Shang Dynasty. They recruit workers and use labor for relief. These ordinary people do not understand technology, but at least they have the strength to start.
As the sky gradually became dark, Song Hengsheng began to return home, with more than 300 core workers and thousands of newly recruited refugees behind him.
Looking at so many people, Song Hengsheng suddenly felt a feeling in his heart that he seemed to be an alternative little officer.
All newly recruited refugees were cleaned at night, put on uniform work clothes, and then re-counted the numbers and names. For the time being, these newly recruited workers will be fully fed every day; only those who can stay in a month can get a salary.
The next morning, Song Hengsheng led the workers to the construction site. The project Song Hengsheng was responsible for was Bridge No. 8 of Wu Yue Cross-Sea Bridge, the guide bridge part; the main body of the cross-Sea Bridge was handled by senior engineers, and for the time being, that is a height that Song Hengsheng needs to look up to.
There are thousands of bridges of various sizes on the Wuyue Cross-Sea Bridge. Bridge No. 8 is the larger one. It has an overall span of five kilometers and a height of 20 meters. It is allowed to pass through ten thousand tons of warships below.
The scene was busy, with construction machines, transport ships everywhere, and some experts flying around in the sky. There were also several red speed vehicles floating in the sky. They were the cars of senior engineers, who were directing the work on the spot.
Song Hengsheng's car is an orange-red speed vehicle. He sits in the speed vehicle, patrolling and directing construction in the area he is responsible for.
Steel bars as thick as thumbs were buried, some of which were more than ten meters deep on the ground, and technical workers were skillfully welded; after the welding was completed, there was no problem, the surroundings were wrapped with wooden boards, and then cement was poured.
This kind of work is busy every day, but Song Hengsheng dares not be careless. If something goes wrong, he will be held legally responsible.
The engineer was under great pressure. At noon, Song Hengsheng was a little tired. In addition, the project he was responsible for was progressing quickly, so he came to the ground to relax. He didn't want to make tea just now, so he received an order from Liu Leigang, the general manager of the infrastructure group - don't be busy here in the afternoon. Two guests came, you can take them for a walk, and you can remember the contact information of them.
Song Hengsheng was a little surprised - Liu Leigang actually thought of me! Although Song Hengsheng felt good about himself, he never felt that he was qualified to have a direct conversation with people like Liu Leigang.
Hurry up and call the two people and then greet them at the construction site exit.
But Liu Jie and Sun Yousheng took Han Chang and immediately Zi Ling'er thought of going to the construction site to quietly inspect it, but the construction site was not allowed to enter, let alone observe it everywhere. In absentia, Liu Jie could only ask He Zhiguo for advice with shamelessness, and then the problem was solved.
He Zhiguo contacted Liu Leigang. Based on the project progress, Liu Leigang found Song Hengsheng, who had advanced project progress.
Song Hengsheng was very enthusiastic - nonsense. If it weren't for these people, how could he have the opportunity to talk to Liu Leigang? Song Hengsheng was enthusiastic, Liu Jie and Sun Yousheng gradually let go, followed Song Hengsheng around and checked.
Here, Liu Jie and Sun Yousheng saw the other side of Shang State. Work-for-relief was well implemented, and the people in the newly occupied areas were rescued immediately; and the first occupied areas of Shang State were completely different from the chaos or even riots like ordinary countries.
The newly recruited refugees had hope in their eyes, and they worked as much as they could, although their work in a day might not be as good as a spell of a master or as a lifting of a crane.
After entering the construction site, Liu Jie and Sun Yousheng saw the bridge under construction. At this time, the project had just begun. The endless beams and columns extended to the end of their sight. One by one, the beams and columns rose from the mud and the river valley, and the unconnected part between the beams and columns exposed a steel bar. A large number of workers and busy machinery made the place show an alternative vitality.
Even some areas where construction is more difficult are simply pillars made of steel, which are carried over by masters using magic and inserted into the ground.
The entire construction site was filled with steel.
As the successor of the military strategist, Sun Yousheng is most sensitive to steel: "The steel I see here is enough to equip a million ordinary army."
Next to it, Song Hengsheng was skillfully introducing: "This is the approach bridge... The bridge is 20 meters high and 24 meters wide... It is divided into two layers, the upper layer is a highway, the lower layer is a railway, and even a high-speed railway line is reserved..."
"What is a high-speed rail?" Liu Jie keenly noticed this strange word.
Song Hengsheng explained: "High-speed rail is a technology under development compared to the current railway. Although our current train speed is already very fast, it still has not broken through the speed of sound. According to the national plan, we will study a train that can break through the speed of sound.
If the train can break through the speed of sound, it will only take one and a half days from Anyang to Kuaiji, no more than two days, which is of great significance to the stability of Shangguo!”
Liu Jie's heart trembled. He came here to observe it himself. Liu Jie understood the relationship between stability and transportation in a country.
If the exchange between the state and the local government (command conveying) lasts for more than five days, the country will be unstable. Therefore, the area of each country is always limiting. Even in Dongsheng Shenzhou, a country with a radius of 50,000 miles is basically the limit.
Although the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty was known as 200,000 miles, it was not a centralized country, but a feudal country - it was a scattered alliance itself.
Next to it, Sun Yousheng was also shocked. Sun Yousheng had already seen the train transport capacity of Shang Dynasty, and could transport thousands of people or hundreds of tons of cargo at a time. If such trains had a speed exceeding the speed of sound, it would have an immeasurable impact on a country in control.
Sun Yousheng and Liu Jie looked at each other.
Sun Yousheng took the lead and said: "I suddenly understood the reason why Shang Dynasty has made rapid progress. This is technology, science and technology."
Liu Jie also nodded slowly: "This country may be a real place of hope and a new place of hope. Tomorrow, I will be ready to meet the wise king."
"In less than a month?" Sun Yousheng asked.
"No more waiting!"
