Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 214 Transportation Planning

After seeing off "Ye Yu", Huang Jiang didn't stop for a moment and took Hu De's car to the Jiagang Building.

"It's not like you don't know how to drive." Hood complained, "Why do you have to drive me every time?"

"I don't have a driver's license." Huang Jiang said honestly. He did not have a driver's license. He crossed over as soon as he started practicing reversing into the garage after finishing the exam.

"But there is no driver's license system in this world." Hood complained.

"Almost there." Huang Jiang got out of the car, and Hu De parked the car and followed him.

She stopped Huang Jiang and raised her hands to straighten his collar and tie: "It's a meeting after all. Don't make it as sloppy as the war meeting in the Deacon's Mansion."

Huang Jiang looked down at his formal clothes and said, "I thought what I wore was formal enough."

"The clothes are very formal." Hood raised his finger and said, "But the details are too rough, so it is easy for people to mistake him for a nouveau riche from the countryside."

"I'm from the countryside." Huang Jiang said frankly, "And I'm not a nouveau riche."

Hood patted Huang Jiang's chest lightly: "Okay. I don't want others to underestimate the commander of our Royal Navy."

The Huangjiang River didn't matter whether it was rough or not, but Hood's movements were very useful to him. He was in a bad mood because he got up so early to deliver "leaf fish", and his mood suddenly improved, and he walked into the building more diligently. many.

"Don't walk like that." Hood chased after him, "You walk like a rooster that just got off a hen."

"Huh? I thought this was the pace of disowning one's relatives." Huang Jiang tried to take a few more steps forward, swaying.

"Just walk normally." Hood gently pinched the flesh on Huang Jiang's waist. He definitely learned this from Saratoga.

Huang Jiang, who rarely showed off his skills, calmed down and walked into the elevator.

The elevator staff closed the elevator door, started the elevator, and began to rise creakingly.

This time Huang Jiang will meet with people from the Rockefeller Group and the Congress.Today, what they will discuss here will be the new federal transportation facilities and traffic rules in the future.

If you want to promote cars, these two things are essential, otherwise even if the cars are really popular, it will make the entire island a mess and make it difficult to move forward.

The people sent by Rockefeller mainly had two things to do. One was to sign a contract with Huang Jiang. Towers successfully persuaded Rockefeller to invest in the federal automobile industry, and even invested in Jialan Automobile. money.The car that Towers brought to Sunflower Island was given to Rockfield as a gift.

Another thing is to discuss federal highway construction with parliamentary commissioners.Not long ago, with Rockfield's intervention, Parliament finally approved this huge construction project, and Toles successfully led the Jialan Construction Group to win the bid to build the entire project.

The price paid was minimal, part of the deal between Towers and Rockfield.

Everyone is gathered here because they want to take this opportunity to summarize the federation's past traffic experience and sort out a set of traffic signals and traffic rules that are reasonable and clear.

The first proposal was to use traffic lights, or traffic lights, as standard intersection signs.This traffic light was not invented by Huangjiang, but by someone else. It initially used kerosene as fuel, and emitted different colors through the metallic flame reaction. It was hung at the intersection to indicate the order of passage. However, this simple traffic light responded slowly. And it also requires specialist care, just like the workers who were responsible for pulling the railway at the railway crossing in the past, and the labor cost is huge.The federal traffic lights do not have yellow lights, but since it is a project on the Yellow River, they naturally have yellow lights (although he did not know that the first traffic lights on earth did not have yellow lights either).

As for power, it definitely uses electricity.

Most roads in construction projects will be equipped with street lights, and there is no shortage of electricity for traffic lights.Since it was a project undertaken by Jialan, AC power was naturally used.

Now that Morgan and Joyce are all focused on the bidding for the lighting system of the next expo, it is impossible to imagine that this document in Huang Jiang's hands will be the last straw for the popularization of alternating current voltage to direct current.

In the past, the federal roads were driven by horse-drawn carriages, so slow speeds naturally did not require too many traffic signs. However, both Huang Jiang and Rockfield knew that the top speed of such a car using an internal combustion engine as its power source was no less than that of a steam train running at full speed. , at such a fast speed, the traffic rules that existed in the form of experience in the past are somewhat unreasonable.

Huang Jiang doesn't have a driver's license, and he doesn't know all the traffic signals, but he is a man who has passed Subject [-]. He still remembers some traffic signals, such as double yellow lines, crosswalks, etc., but he only remembers some main ones. , the remaining small details can only be solved by future generations after the problem comes out.

"What is this?" The commissioner looked at the album in his hand.

"Traffic signs used by our group on new highways." Toles represented the Garland Construction Group, while Huang Jiang oversaw the meeting as a steward of Garland Island.

"Does this need to be discussed?" The commissioner knows that the three parties present here are colluding. No matter how much he objects, it will have no impact on the result, but he must perform his duties... In short, it is to brush his presence to let the voters know that he is there. For such a person, "I'm afraid most people don't even know about so many symbols."

"Most of them are not for pedestrians." Thors flipped through the booklet and said, "They are all used to warn drivers."

"You mean that new form of transportation called a car?"

The commissioner knew that the car had recently passed the federal transportation review and was allowed to drive on the road, but cars of different models and brands had to be submitted for review before they could be allowed on the road.

"Yes." Thors turned over the front sign, revealing the name plate of the representative of Jialan Motors behind, and said, "I think the speed of cars is much higher than that of horse-drawn carriages, and such a means of transportation should not be handed over. For those who do not have any safety knowledge, they must have a corresponding driver's license to drive. Therefore, we suggest that the federal government establish a traffic bureau to register the signals of every driver. Since it has to be reviewed, the new traffic If the signal is included in the exam content, there will naturally be no problem at all.”

After finishing speaking, Towers flipped the sign back to the Jialan Construction Group side.

"..." The commissioner was speechless at Thors' behavior of flipping cards, but he had to admit that what this unreliable person said was right.

"I don't think there's a problem." The commissioner lowered his head and signed his name.

"What about the carriage?" He suddenly thought of the blind spot. You must know that this is the most important means of short-distance transportation in the Federation.

"It will be prohibited from driving on the new highway and can only drive on the old road." Thors glanced at Huangjiang and said.

"But this is too..." The commissioner was a little surprised.

"This is elimination, sir." Towers looked up and said, "Times have changed."
