It was already late May. The workers and soldiers had already received nearly four months of training and learning. Everything was changing, but Kuijun was also at ease. He turned a deaf ear to Lu Yao's actions and did not care. However, Lu Yao was also at ease.
However, Lu Yao still found Kuijun himself and explained that he wanted to build a railway from Huili to Neijiang, then to Chengdu, and then to Chongqing. Kuijun was immediately very excited, indicating that Lu Yao could get half of the shares and 30 years of custody rights. Even Lu Yao did not expect it to go so smoothly. To be honest, Lu Yao had the idea of taking advantage of the situation, but he did not expect it to be so generous.
Since the matter was clear, then let's do it!
In fact, Lu Yao was not only planning to build such a railway. He was planning to build a railway around Sichuan, starting from Chengdu, passing through Ziyang to Chongqing, from Chengdu to Suining, Nanchong, Guang 'an, Dazhou, Bazhong, Guangyuan and Mianyang, and then back to Chengdu. In the middle, he would build a branch line.
On the other side, from Chengdu to Meishan, Leshan, Liangshan, and all the way to Panzhi, the branch line would be repaired in the middle.
Chengdu passed through Ya 'an to Ganzi, Chengdu to Aba, and then the branches were connected together. In this way, the entire Sichuan railway was formed. In the future, it could be built to other places depending on the situation.
As for the parameters of the railway, Lu Yao did not care about the broken railway with two horses 'butts at the beginning. It was only suitable for the island countries. In the mainland, it was better to have a wider railway. After all, there were many Chinese people, so it was more comfortable to take the train with a wider railway. It was not like in his previous life, where it was quite crowded to take a train.
Therefore, Lu Yao's setting was 2500mm rails. In this case, the railway carriage could be 5000mm wide and 6000mm high. The height and width were about 50% higher than the existing parameters, and the available transportation space was more than doubled.
From a technical point of view, ultra-wide gauge rail transit could reduce the possibility of overturning and derailing, improve transportation safety, ride comfort and other indicators, and bring potential convenience and possibility for railway vehicle transportation, ultra-large transportation, and even re-use.
Therefore, even if it was for the future, he had to do this. Lu Yao wanted the whole world to use 2500mm rails in the future and use 2500mm rails as the standard gauge, except for the island countries.
There was a steel factory, workers, and approval from the leaders, but there was a lack of people to take charge of the overall situation. The most outstanding railway man of this era was Zhan Tianyou. He was known as the father of modern engineering in our country.
In this era, Zhan Tianyou had just donated his official position to become a Tongzhi, and Lu Yao had already sent people to look for him. He was using this grand plan. After all, if the construction was completed, it would be nearly 4000 kilometers of railway. Lu Yao did not believe that he would not take the bait.
As far as Lu Yao was concerned, the total length of China's railway was 6420 miles, of which 2800 miles were invested by the United Kingdom, 1530 miles by Russia, 720 miles by Germany, 650 miles by Austria, 420 miles by France, and 300 miles by the United States. None of them were built by themselves. Even in 1911, although the total length of the country's railway was more than 9600 miles, more than 8900 miles were built and controlled by foreign countries. The Qing government built roads for only 660 miles.
Therefore, Lu Yao believed that he would definitely be attracted to the 3980-kilometer railway journey. Moreover, Lu Yao had told him that he wanted to build 30,000 kilometers of railway in ten years. He believed that he would definitely be moved. Even if it did not work, he had to do it. Lu Yao would kidnap him even if he had to.
More importantly, after Luyao built the railway, it would be especially convenient to transport all kinds of goods and even military transportation. From there, they could react quickly. Therefore, even if they wanted to develop the economy, they had to build roads.
Of course, it was the same for the roads. Lu Yao was prepared to hand over the task of repairing the roads to the Bio-Humans. After all, compared to the railway, repairing the roads was much easier. Of course, even if he were to repair the roads these days, he had to consider the practical application. If the roads were too wide, it would definitely be a waste. After all, there were no particularly popular cars in this era. However, this was not a big deal for Lu Yao. Work still had to be done ahead of time. Therefore, the roads also needed to be repaired, but they still needed to be overhauled.
There were two-way four-lane roads between cities. In cities, there were two-lane roads. In towns, there were two-lane roads. In some places, two-lane roads had to be repaired in one go. All the spaces below had to be reserved. Therefore, the Bio-Humans were needed to command them. After all, they would understand the future trend.
Not only that, but even the village had to build a two-lane road. Lu Yao had to do the best in the infrastructure work from now on. Most importantly, Sichuan was not far from Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia. As the saying went, if you wanted to get rich, you had to build a road first. If you wanted to build a road, you had to do it all at once. You would not have to drag it out repeatedly. Moreover, you had to leave room for upgrades, so the relative amount of work would be very large.
However, most of the roads were paved with stone. As long as they were well maintained, there would be no problem. The key areas would be paved with cement and asphalt roads. After all, the production of cement was not good, and the production of asphalt was not good here. Therefore, the roads could only be rebuilt in the future when the conditions were met. However, the framework could be made first.
The other point was the cost. The cost of stone pavement was definitely much lower than that of cement pavement. This was also for the good development of the base. The factory was the most important now. When they could be self-sufficient in the future, they had already reserved space. By then, the amount of construction would be small and the speed would be very fast.
In history, it was not very effective to get rich first and then get rich later. The development was still slow. What Lu Yao needed to do was to develop in an all-round way. Although it was not as convenient as the coastal areas, the roads, rails, and even water transport had to be particularly developed. In the future, when the airport was repaired, domestic demand alone could be boosted. Wasn't that great? At that time, he would have to rely on the coastal areas in the interior to pull them along.
Furthermore, Sichuan was indeed a good place. It was a basin with a lot of resources. It was located in the center of the western region, so it was not difficult to develop. Therefore, Lu Yao was very confident. Dividing it into a few steps was also the most cost-effective, time-saving, and man-saving method that Chang'e had analyzed.
One step at a time. If the steps were too big, it would be easy to pull the balls!
