Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1787, The Power of Machinery and Tradition

"Huh~huh!"

Among the mountains and mountains, the roar of the machine resounded through the mountain streams and canyons, echoing constantly among the mountains.

Bulldozers pushed out roads, excavators continuously dug out a large amount of soil and rocks, and construction trucks roared on the roads, transporting a large amount of soil, rocks and the like.

A spacious road was forcibly opened up between the mountains and mountains that were originally just small trails.

Here in river valleys and mountain streams, where even walking is difficult, a large number of Sichuan dolls wield their picks and iron rods, and use baskets and poles to continuously open up trails, paving the way for subsequent road construction.

River valleys and mountain streams, inaccessible places, at this moment, a large number of people are constantly beating the foundation here, and it is difficult for machinery to enter, so they use manpower to pick up steel bars, cement, sand and stone, etc., one load after another, Relying on manpower, the foundations of the bridges were built one by one.

At the foot of a large mountain, a large number of Sichuan dolls used primitive picks, shovels, baskets and poles to dig tunnels, and the tunnels with the whole body of rocks were extremely difficult.

There was no response when the hammer hit it, but this did not affect the determination of the Sichuan dolls at all. They are the most able to bear hardships and stand hard work. This little hardship is nothing.

They saw the hope, the hope that Sichuan people would develop and become rich in the future, and the mountain in front of them was nothing in their eyes.

"Drilling machine is coming, drilling machine 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 driven by an internal combustion engine, which is very heavy , Generally, it can only be transported after the road is repaired.

But in order to build the tunnel, these Sichuan dolls didn't care so much. They worked together to climb mountains and ridges, and those who waded across the river also carried drilling rigs here, and transported a large amount of materials for tunnel construction.

"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

Soon, with the roar of the machine, the drilling rig started to work. Under the power of the machine, the rock that was originally extremely hard and difficult to drill was easily crushed like tofu.

"This machine is really not bad, it's so tight!"

"Isn't that right? Didn't you see those excavators, bulldozers, trucks, etc. A small mountain can be leveled by you in two or three strokes. Now that you have encountered this big mountain, you have no choice but to dig a tunnel."

"It's still good at building roads now. With this bridge, the mountain stream and canyon tens of meters deep have become a thoroughfare. How do you say that?"

"The moat becomes a thoroughfare!"

"Right, right, the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare!"

"When the railway is completed, it will be convenient for us Sichuanese to go out, and we won't have to go over the Shu Road again."

"Isn't it? Our generation has finished this hardship, and future generations will not have to suffer anymore. They can take the train!"

The Sichuan dolls chatted while working hard.

The speed and progress of the project made them feel unbelievable. They thought that it would take hundreds of thousands of people to repair the railway for many years, but after the actual construction started, they saw the power of the current construction machinery.

Powerful bulldozers and excavators are too fast and convenient to open mountains and build roads.

Where it seemed impossible to build roads in the past, under the work of excavators and bulldozers, a spacious and flat road can be built soon.

The seemingly difficult-to-cross mountain canyons with a depth of tens of meters and dozens of meters, these teachers and students of the engineering college directly built bridges, which suddenly became spacious passages.

For the mountains that seemed to need to be bypassed, they also dug tunnels directly, using tunnels to run through the mountains, so that the mountain road that might have taken a day to walk in the past shortened the passage that only took more than ten minutes to pass.

The extensive use of construction machinery also allows these Sichuan dolls 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 too able to endure hardship."

On a hillside, Li Song held binoculars to watch the mountains in front of him. On the road that stretched for several kilometers, tens of thousands of Sichuan children were working desperately.

They have no wages, but those who do not have wages have to work hard. They insist on carrying their hands on their shoulders and relying on primitive tools to clear a lot of places in advance and open up roads for the advancement of construction machinery. Work well and get ready.

This spirit also deeply infected people like Li Song, Yi Lunxiong, and Zhang Bin, and made people see the unity, hard work, and hard work of Sichuan people.

In this clump of mountains, mechanical power and traditional power combine with each other and collide with each other, echoing constantly among the mountains, and building a spacious passage.

Ma Hao brought a group of officials to an elevated mountain stream. Standing on the elevated mountain and looking down at the mountain canyon, he couldn't help shaking his legs, which were tens of meters high.

In the past, it was impossible to pass through such a place. Both sides of the mountain stream and canyon are very steep, even if it is necessary to open up a trail, it becomes extremely difficult.

However, now, with the construction of the elevated road, the spacious road across the two mountains is very flat. In the future, it will not only be used to pass the railway, but it will also be widened deliberately, leaving a part for use as a road. road use.

This money is exactly tens of millions of taels of silver raised by Sichuan people, and the silver is used for this. It is equivalent to saying that what is being built now is not only a railway, but also a road. In the future, people from Sichuan will not only You can take a train, a car or a carriage, instead of just walking as before.

"The natural moat becomes a thoroughfare, the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare!"

Ma Hao couldn't help sighing.

Only those who have really been to Sichuan will understand how difficult the roads in Sichuan are. If you take the Shu Road once, you will never want to go there again.

Only those who have traveled the Shu Road will understand the importance of this road to the people of Sichuan, and understand why the children of Sichuan are desperately trying 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 come here or arrived here before.

It is very tall, if you want to cross this mountain, even if there is a road, it will take a day, not to mention that there is no road in this mountain.

But now, you only need to pass through the long tunnel in front of you, and you can pass the mountain in front of you in ten minutes.

Riding a horse in the long tunnel, the more you go inside, the darker it becomes. Fortunately, there are kerosene lamps on both sides of the tunnel to provide lighting, and you can also meet busy figures coming and going in the tunnel. .

Walking, walking, the sight in front of him suddenly lit up, and then soon became brighter and brighter, and he could see that the road ahead turned out to be a very rare and flat area.

"The people of this engineering school are really amazing. They can dig a tunnel with such precision, and their calculations are so accurate."

After walking out of the tunnel, Ma Hao couldn't help sighing as he looked at the gentle and open road in front of him.

"My lord, wherever you look, there is the Shu road we used to take!"

At this time, an official pointed to a mountainside not far away, where a mountain road could be seen faintly winding between the mountains.

"Really!"

As soon as Ma Hao heard this, he quickly picked up the binoculars and looked at it, seeing the mountain road clearly.

"It really is 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, my lord!"

"Sun Pan, Qiu Ye and others actually said that it is impossible to build a railway here. They don't know how to build railways and roads. This kind of professional work should be done by professional people."

"Now we are not only repairing, but our speed is quite fast, and the road we built is very smooth. It will be much easier for us Sichuanese to leave Sichuan in the future."

The officials next to him also nodded and said.

You can truly feel the power of modern engineering technology only by walking the Shu Road a few times in person, and then walking the road that is currently being built.

The roar of the machine resounded through the mountains and valleys, and echoed among the mountains. At the end of the road ahead, there was a huge explosion from time to time. birds and beasts.

On the road that stretches for several miles, the Sichuan dolls chanted chant, sang folk songs, worked hard, and built a road leading to prosperity.

"It's really the right time, place and people!"

Looking at such a scene, Ma Hao sighed again and again. The Shu road is difficult, but with the combination of mechanical and traditional power, the Shu road will also become a thoroughfare.

Those who recorded this scene were not only the officials in Sichuan, everyone involved in the road construction, but also the newspaper reporters who heard the news. They recorded it with pens, and quickly released everything here to the newspaper, so that People all over the world can see the road-building spirit of Sichuan people.
