After a few days, the "San Francisco" queen from the San Francisco arrived in the Panama Canal.

The Panama Canal is located in Panama, Central America, crossing the Bamana Fragrance, connecting the Pacific and Atlantic, is an important shipping road, is known as the "World Bridge" of the World Seventh Project Miracle.

As early as 15th century, the Spanish Vasco in Mexico was conquered by Kortes, which made the construction of the canal, but did not indicate the place where the excision was not specified, and later in gask, Nouneri. Barva seizes Panama, 1523 In the year, the Spanish King Charlie I (ie the Charles of the Holy Roman Empire) clearly proposed the idea of ​​excision of the Central American Canal.

In 1534, the King of Spain, Monastels, ordered the Panama Fragrance, and the Spaniard paved a hortiary in the rhythm, and was prepared for the opening.

Since the 18th century, the Spanish colonial government successfully sent four options: Trivers Paicke, the southern Mexico; a location near the Atlato, the northwest of Colombia; Nicaragua Lage gorge; Panama Fragrance.

Later, Spanish national strength became increasingly weak, and this plan was stranded.

In 1869, after 11 years of construction, the Suez Canal is navigating, the project cost is only 18.6 million.

As a person in charge of the construction of the Suez Canal, the Frenchman Fair Didan Germany. Rayed Buli is a strong representation to create a link between the Atlantic and the Pacific in the Americas.

Then, the French government and Panama sovereignty country Significant Colombia signed an agreement, gaining a Panama Canal Construction Permit, and the Banama Ocean Canal Global Company was established. After two years of intense preparation, January 1, 1881, Panama Canal was officially excavated.

The successful construction of the Suez Canal has enabled the reputation of Raybuli to the top of the peak. He became a gathering of the French Academy of Science, Academician of the French Academy of Sciences, got the honorary army's cross medal and the Indian star medal, the British royal family awarded his London honor citizen.

The success of the past, it is very intoxicated, and he mechanically moved the successful experience of building the Suez Canal, and the special terrain of Panama is estimated enough, and the construction plan has been developed on the basis of detailed investigation, resulting in a result. disaster.

Panama is a tropical rainforest, and the heat, jungle, traffic occlusion, complex, infrastructure, lack of construction conditions, when the 40,000 construction army from 55 countries, people discovered that it is a world. Hell: The pest in the jungle in the tower is all over, it is unbearable, and the hot weather spreads the terrible epidemic, and takes the life of a large number of workers and technicians, and the hopes near the water gate, the tomb of the greenery People are cold and chestnut.

It is more terrible than hot weather and harsh environments. At first, Radai Shusen, the experience of the Suez Canal, and believes that it can use a large number of lakes in Panama to build a seaweed canal. After four years, arrogant French talents Discover the sea surface of the Panama Grand Palace, it is more than 20 cm than one end of the Caribbean sea, and it is unable to build a seaweed canal. This late discovery gives French Ocean Canal Company with a fatal blow.

The Most Raybun is annoying, and the design of the Canal is parallel to the Panama railway operated by Americans, which is mainly for easy transportation, but Americans do not cooperate. The railway department has a general rule of the distribution of the canal materials, and it is negatively treated. Finally, the French Canal Company had to buy this only $ 7.5 million of railway, but the US employees who have retained will continue to mess up. Incident, the railway is not working properly.

Finally, the French Canal also has problems in operation management, and the executive layer headed by Radi Repau is unsustaining in the process of engineering.

In 1898, in the US War, the United States deeply saw the inconvenience of two foreign troops, and the willingness of the Panaba Canal is increasingly urgent.

In 1902, the United States took 40 million US dollars to the Panama Canal Engineering and wanted to have a Panama Canal 100-year-old borrow, while indefinite renewal. But the Colombian parliament refused this request.

At that time, Panama was independently conscious, and the United States did not talk nonsense with Colombia, and the warships were directly opened to Panama and supported Panama independence. In the face of powerful US, Colombia has to have to swallow.

In 1903, the United States signed a treaty with Panama, Panama gave the United States 10 miles wide canal area, and the United States was responsible for protecting Panama's independent status. One-time paid to Panama 10 million US dollars, then pay $ 250,000 a year.

10 years of work, 500 million US dollars, Panama Canal in Americans, finally officially navigating in 1914.

After the Canal of the Panama Canal, the US East and West Coast is shortened by 12,000 kilometers. New York to San Francisco is shortened by 16%. Liverpool to San Francisco is shortened by 43%, while New York to Sydney's voyage is also shortened by 28%; the river fees charged by the Canal Company are also very considerable.

Ordered to open the Panama Canal is the 26th President of the United States. Roosevelt, this is the main megadownload metephone, and he is also carved from the American people into the President Mountain.

From the morning queue to midnight, finally in the "San Francisco" model, the traction locomotive on both sides of the canal fixed the traction rope on the boat and slowly moved forward. The shape of these traction locomars is like a vessel, only the bottom wheel contact ground. And there is a fixed track, these locomotives walk on these tracks, a bit like a small train.

Because the Panama Canal is a waterglass canal, there is a need to enter the gate through all the vessels of the Panama, and the role of these large number of traction locomars distributed on both sides of the canal is to help adjust their poses in the gate. To ensure that these vessels are always located in the central location of the canal. However, traction locomars does not provide power to the ship, and the driving force of the ship is still done by the power system of the vessel itself.

The role of traction locomotives is only to help vessel decelerate, maintain position. Because of this, the traction locomotive on both sides of the Panama Canal has got a loud name "Canal Scorpion".
