Chapter 620 New Problems in Railway Construction
A week later, Great Qin Xianyang City.
Under Ying Yu's personal guidance and arrangement, preparations for Daqin's military parade are in full swing.
As the emperor, Yingzheng was not idle, he wrote invitation letters by himself, ordered people to send them to all countries in the world, and invited them to send envoys to come to Daqin to observe the ceremony.
The preparations for the military parade went smoothly, but the construction of the railway encountered difficulties.
The steam excavator has been officially put into use, the output of Daqin Iron and Steel has also been increased, and the speed of railway construction is also gradually accelerating.
However, due to the accelerated progress of the railway, in just one week, the supply of steam excavators and steel was no longer available.
Even if the Daqin Processing Factory is working tirelessly to manufacture steam excavators, it will be difficult to meet the demand for steam excavators in Daqin for a while.
At present, the construction of the Daqin Railway has encountered two major problems.
One of the problems is the construction of railways in Daqin, Jizhou, and Wengshan.
In the Wengshan area of Jizhou, the mountainous area is steep, the terrain is not flat, and the slope is relatively large, and the laying of railways is also very difficult.
But if you want to connect the Taihang Mountains to the Jizhong Plain, the railway must pass through the boundary of Wengshan. If you want to make a detour, it will cost a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources, and time.
Detour is obviously not worth the candle.
The appearance of the steam excavator solved the problem of laying the railway tracks in Wengshan, Jizhou. However, there were too many curves, and the steam train could not make large turns.
In this way, even if the railroad track is laid, if the steam train cannot pass, then the railroad track will become a decoration, useless.
Another problem is the railway from Daqin to Rome.
If Daqin wanted to build a railway connecting Rome, the laying of the railway track must pass through the land of Longyuan and Zhuzhou.
The land of Longyuan is barren, and many places are desolate Gobi Desert. Although the terrain is relatively flat, the land is extremely soft, and it can be said that it is full of sand and gravel.
However, Zhuzhou has a dry climate and strong winds all year round, resulting in a large area of wasteland and desert in Zhuzhou, which also makes it difficult to build railways.
The construction of the railway between Zhuzhou and Longyuan land will not be in a hurry for a while, because the railway line is still a long distance from Longyuan land and Zhuzhou, and perhaps a solution can be thought of at that time.
However, the construction of the railway in the Wengshan area of Jizhou is imminent. If it cannot be resolved in time, it will affect the progress of the overall railway construction in Daqin.
At the time when many ministers of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering were at a loss, several ministers including Xiao He and Nei Shiteng decided to ask Ying Yu for advice.
They believed that with Ying Yu's ingenuity, he would definitely be able to solve the two most important problems in the current railway construction.
The few hit it off immediately, so they set off towards the Prince's Mansion.
At this time, Ying Yu was organizing a team building barbecue in her back garden.
Seeing the two little girls running wildly all over the ground, Yu Ji touched her stomach enviously:
"His Royal Highness, Concubine Yu has been pregnant for several months, and will soon give birth to an heir for His Highness."
"That's right, sister Yuji is about to give birth, sister Sophie, why don't you make any movement at all, you have to work harder."
Xiao Mei at the side teased.
"Sister Xiao is right."
"Now Daqin is advocating more births to increase the population of Daqin."
"My husband, as the issuer of government orders, is also the Prince of Qin, so you should set an example."
As soon as Xiao Mei's words fell, Wang Ying, who was arranging the ingredients, also said with a smile.
"Sisters, stop making fun of me!"
Hearing what a few people said, Sophie's pretty face instantly turned extremely red.
It's just that the eyes that fell on Ying Yu seemed to be complaining, as if they were saying, look, they made fun of me because you didn't work hard.
Ying Yu quickly avoided this, with Sophie's sad eyes, and quickly changed the topic.
"The weather is fine these few days. Anyway, there is nothing to do now. Why don't my husband take a few ladies out for a walk?"
It's rare for Ying Yu to be free, so she naturally wants to spend more time with her two daughters, as well as her daughter's mother and aunts.
When several people heard the words, their faces showed joy, but before they could open their mouths, they saw Qin Feng coming in a hurry.
"His Royal Highness, Shang Shu Ling Xiao He, Zhong Shu Ling Yao Jia, Shi Teng from the Household Department and several other adults are asking to see you."
"It's really time for them to come." Hearing this, Ying Yu shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that the barbecue for a few days can only be made by the wives themselves."
Ying Yu spread his hands helplessly, and then brought Qin Feng to the living room.
"I have seen His Royal Highness!"
"I have seen His Royal Highness!"
"..."
Seeing Ying Yu approaching, Xiao He and the others put down the teacups in their hands, and hurriedly got up to salute.
"Okay, don't be too polite, the adults have come together, have you encountered any problems?"
Ying Yu waved his hand slightly, motioning them to sit down.
"His Royal Highness is a master of planning. Now that we have encountered a problem in the construction of the railway, I can't think of a solution, so I have to come here to ask His Highness for help."
