    Qi Yiming held the hand of his girlfriend Jiang Huayan and stood on the platform. Although the trend was getting better at this time, there were still not many young lovers who were so blatant, so they attracted more attention. Jiang Huayan's little face was blushing, but she  No catkins were drawn out.

    The train gradually pulled into the station. The men and women on the platform stretched their necks and looked at this cool train.  This is an EMU, and it has a few big characters "Harmony" printed on the body of the car, which is very unoriginal.

    "It is said that this train only takes 6 hours from Beijing to Shanghai."

    "Is it false? Didn't you say that you can go from Heilongjiang in the north of the motherland to Hainan in one day by car?

    "How else would we call it a high-speed train? It's a high-speed train."

    "It turns out that high-speed rail means telling the train. I thought high-speed rail was just a railway running on a viaduct."

    The slightly novel travelers around him were talking about it, and Qi Yiming couldn't help but smile when he heard the words.  This Harmony EMU was just opened to traffic at the beginning of the year. Currently, there is only one Beijing-Shanghai line in operation. However, the Ministry of Railways is ambitiously preparing to launch the "Five Vertical, Six Horizontal and Seven-Link" plan for later generations, which can make China's  The mileage of high-speed rail has jumped to the first place in the world.

    Qi Yiming took his girlfriend to Shanghai this time to ask her, the nominal chairman of Fuhua Gas, to sign the agreement with the local government. After signing, Qi Yiming can work in the largest city in China.  Cities build household gas supply networks.  Originally, he planned to take his own private plane to go there, but the high-speed rail had just opened and he was very curious about it, so he took his little girlfriend to take the train.

    For a country with a vast territory, railways are far more important than aviation. Although China is also vigorously supporting its own air transportation, whether it is from airlines or aviation manufacturing, the bloodline of China is still railways.

    First of all, China has a large population and high population mobility. Thinking about the annual Spring Festival transportation, it can make foreigners feel overwhelmed. No matter how many planes there are, they cannot support the great migration of hundreds of millions of people. Only those with large passenger capacity can  Only trains can do it.  In addition, the high speed of the train means high turnover times, which in disguise improves the transportation capacity, especially for intercity/intra-provincial transportation of less than 60 kilometers, which is particularly convenient.  For Chinese people with limited economic level, air tickets are too expensive, while high-speed rail tickets are basically affordable.

    In addition, from the perspective of passengers, high-speed rail is safer than airplanes, buses, etc. (provided that the managers are reliable). Japan's Xinyu Line has been operating for decades and has maintained zero accidents. Naturally, it follows the meticulous care of the Japanese.  Personality has something to do with it, but it also shows that high-speed rail is much safer than planes that fall off every three days.  In addition, because the space is relatively large, the activity area is large, and there are functional areas such as dining cars on the high-speed rail, taking the high-speed rail is much more comfortable than flying.

    The high-speed rail technology provided to the country by Qi Yiming's Red Alert Base is basically the crystallized technology of China's high-speed rail in later generations, and some optimizations and improvements have been made on the original basis. Compared with the Japanese Shinyu Line in this era, the high-speed rail in Germany and France  Line, many wins.  Especially in terms of speed, it takes the lead, with an average speed of more than 20 kilometers.

    The completion of the high-speed railway naturally has its military significance. The efficiency of large-scale cross-regional troop mobilization has been improved. In addition to transport aircraft, pLA has gained the ability to deploy troops faster within the country.

    Qi Jiang and the two of them got on the train. Because there were no luxury carriages such as business class or sleeper berths on this high-speed train, they sat together with everyone else.  However, Qi Yiming will not be reckless. His bodyguards, Yishui'er, are all dressed in plain clothes and are always vigilant among the crowd.

    These EMUs were not originally the products of state-owned railway equipment manufacturing enterprises, but the creations of the chariot factory at the Red Alert Base. Because the technical level is relatively high, the companies have not fully digested and absorbed the key technologies, or they have created them.  Did not pass acceptance.

    The environment in the carriage is considered luxurious by people of this era. Some young people even came in and said in surprise: "They are all soft seats. No wonder we have to sell hard seat tickets."

    The young man touched the woolen coat on the back of the chair and exclaimed: "I really enjoy it."

    His companion came from the dining car in front and handed a few bottles of water to a few people and said: "The mineral water in the car is quite expensive, but the dining car in front is like the activity room of our school. You can buy food there, and the table is very spacious, otherwise  How many of us can buy a pair of poker cards and play in the front?¡±

    Qi Yiming couldn't help but smile knowingly after hearing this. Before he traveled across time, he and his classmates also liked to play poker in the dining car.  The dining car in front of this EMU sells a lot of food and even souvenirs. In the past two years, consumer goods have increased on the market, so the food on the car is not limited to instant noodles, ham sausages and the like.  Snacks like potato chips and shrimp crackers, preserved fruits, pickled plums, etc., plus drinks such as cola and juice, it won't be difficult to take a train if you have plenty of money.

    Sitting in front of him and his girlfriend were two middle-aged men who seemed to have some status, and they were also chatting about the high-speed rail.

    "Although the ticket is a little more expensive, the conditions are much better than ordinary green cars, and the price is much better."?This small amount of money can be used to build high-speed trains that are comfortable and fast. When will all domestic passenger trains be replaced by high-speed trains, that would be great.  "

    The middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him seemed to be very knowledgeable and said: "Sooner or later, there will be a day. Now that we have mastered the technology of manufacturing high-speed trains, there is no problem in self-production. Everyone can see the benefits of high-speed rail. I saw it in school  According to the data, Japan's Xinyu Line recovered all its investment in just two years of operation. Haha, our country's labor costs are low, and train transportation plays an important role. I am afraid that the cost of our Beijing-Shanghai high-speed train will be back in three or four years.  The money will naturally be invested in railway construction.¡±

    "Yes, although this transportation does not directly produce benefits, it assists the flow of various industries. The transportation capacity has increased, and the economy has also doubled. I have never expected it in the past few years. Eight-three-eight  My life felt very tight for four years, but I didn¡¯t expect that my life has gotten so much better in the past few years.¡±

    Another person added: "If passenger trains are moved to high-speed rail, then the lines of ordinary railways will be concentrated on freight, which will also improve transportation. I just don't know if the technology of ordinary railways has improved with the technology of high-speed railways."

    Qi Yiming sat in the back seat and grinned. Of course, he had given the Ministry of Railways a lot of technology. There were also new locomotives for ordinary railway freight, which could at least be improved to another level, the fifth major speed increase of national railways.  It is said that before he traveled, the Ministry of Railways was a place where filth and evil spread. There were also calls for marketization of the Ministry of Railways. However, there were several major speed increases made by a corrupt official when he took office. Each speed increase was a huge blow to the country's economic development.  promote.

    Except for those countries with crisscrossed waterways, railways are basically the most important mode of freight transportation. Especially in countries like China with vast inland areas and rich resources, basically anything made by inland provinces that they want to export relies on railways.  After Qi Yiming decided not to get rich first, the mainland's economic development requires large-scale manufacturing, and large-scale manufacturing needs logistics. Therefore, in Qi Yiming's view, the speed of freight railways, especially the construction of high-speed railways, is increasing.

    The importance of railways to economic development is self-evident. At that time, the capital of Hebei was Baoding, but after the railway was opened to traffic, Shijiazhuang took advantage of the situation and rose, eventually ousting Baoding from the position of provincial capital.  All cities along the railway will benefit from the opening of high-speed rail.

    The middle-aged man who looked like a university professor in front started talking again: "The completion of the high-speed rail will be a boost for our country's economic development. Take the Yangtze River Delta region as an example, from Shanghai to various places in southern Jiangsu, there are many  An hour's journey is now an hour or even dozens of minutes. Talents, logistics and information in the Yangtze River Delta can be turned over at an extremely fast speed, and the radiation power of the entire economic circle is also greater, and the land used and the scope of influence are wider.  Judging from the fact that our country is undertaking the transfer of industries from Europe and the United States, soon these areas with high-speed rail will mushroom like mushrooms after a rain. In less than three to five years, these areas will have changed drastically, and there will be more factories.  , more large companies will appear, and then the labor force coming along the high-speed rail will enrich the population here. When we investigated the Tokyo metropolitan area, I am afraid that within a few years, our country will also have the Jingshi metropolitan area and the Shencheng metropolitan area.  , Guangzhou metropolitan area.¡±

    Qi Yiming nodded behind his back, feeling that what this middle-aged man said was very insightful.  Liquidity is not only a financial concept, it is also important in economic and regional development. Fast turnover and high frequency can drive greater benefits.  Not only can high-speed rail serve it, Qi Yiming is also working hard to develop magnetic levitation technology in the combat laboratory.

    The applicable objects of maglev are mainly urban transportation and inter-city transportation, and the service goal is to make cities bigger and bigger.  Thinking about the congestion situation in the capital in later generations, the Beipiao people living in Langfang had to get up at five o'clock and take the bus to go to work within the third ring road. The harm to the health of the residents was immeasurable.  At that time, the construction of the capital had been solidified, and it was difficult to carry out any major construction projects. It was better to do whatever we wanted to do at this time.

    After the urban maglev is built, the real Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou urban circle can be created. The economic energy formed at that time can easily surpass several medium-sized countries. It is definitely not a joke.  Railways are the blood vessels of China, and wealth is the blood flowing in them. The faster the flow, the higher the hematopoietic capacity, and the stronger China will be.

    Thinking of this, Qi Yiming couldn't help but smile. His little girlfriend next to him patted him and said, "What good thing did you think of again to make you smile so happily?"

    Qi Yiming joked: "After thinking about Shanghai, why don't I find a hotel to exercise with you first?"

    The little girlfriend¡¯s face turned even redder, and she hit him angrily, but her eyes were as charming as silk, as if she was letting him take his pick.
