On January 5, 1936, the Qin State built the railway from Singapore to Qingzhou and Jizhou to Jingzhou. Jingzhou built the railway all the way to Chiang Mai, and then continued westward along the Lancang River (Mekong River) from west to east.
The railways going to Vinh City and Daorong City in Xiang City have all been replaced by broad gauge. However, the section of Phi Chai Daorong City will not be completed until at least early 2038. Of course, unless there are any accidents
At the same time, all the main lines from Yangon in Yizhou to Myitkyina in Youzhou and their main lines have been changed. As for the railway from Chiang Mai to Yizhou, it is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The rails stolen from India have played an important role.
function, half of these railways were trained by them
The railway from Myitkyina to Yuzhou, that is, southern Tibet, will be completed in the first half of the year. As for the railway from Bingzhou to Yuzhou, because there were immigrants before, the railway here was not touched. Now that large-scale immigration has ended, they have started construction.
The construction of the track change started, and the entire Qin State now has 1.5 million laborers working on the railway. Of course, the government also served them with delicious food and drinks. They are all so fat that their families may not recognize them, and Wang Jiuling also has many
1.5 million strong soldiers
As for the broad-gauge railway from Xikang to Chongqing, Baoji, Shaanxi, and Xi'an, the railways to Xining, Qinghai, Lanzhou, Gansu, and Yinchuan, Ningxia are also under construction. Originally, they were almost completed, but the Qin State was founded and there was another war.
It was immigration again, and Qin State's railways had to be built. Qin State really couldn't spare the energy and didn't have that much money to invest, so these areas were delayed.
Although Wang Jiuling did not achieve the goal, the speed of Qin's railway construction was really staggering. The speed was too fast, and they had seen that it was not shoddy, and the railway construction was definitely up to standard.
Correspondingly, the National Government who wanted to build a railway from Shanghai to Guiyang was as fast as a snail. Although they worked very hard, they only completed half of the Hunan-Guizhou line, which was not comparable to Wang Jiuling's railway construction.
However, Wang Jiuling is different from them. The Qin State does not need money to build roads, and all the materials are produced by itself. There is no need to purchase any equipment, rails, or locomotives from others. Therefore, the Qin State builds roads quickly and cheaply. There is no need to wait for what you want.
Wang Jiuling planned to help Chiang Kai-shek, and of course to help the Chinese nation, that is, to build the railway from Kunming to Guiyang so that the train can go directly to Zhuzhou. As for the train that needs to go directly to Shanghai, it needs to replace the railway tracks here.
It’s enough to meet Qin’s standards
Chiang Kai-shek's subordinates originally suggested using European and American standards, but the rails Wang Jiuling sold to them were priced a little higher than the market price, which was much cheaper than foreign ones. In addition, all railways in western China used Qin standards. If
If he doesn't use Qin's standards when building railways, he will definitely be criticized.
Wang Jiuling's current prestige in China is unmatched by anyone. The development level of western China is no less than that of coastal areas such as Shanghai. Up to now, it is still the base camp of the Qin State. The economic lifeline of the Qin State is all in Xikang. If there were no Xikang,
Qin is like a person without hands, and Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi and other places are where Qin's industrial products are sold. There has long been no room for foreign products to survive here. Taxes are high, and people have a lot of money in their pockets. Qin
It can be said that the country is rich and the people are strong, so Wang Jiuling dared to go to war with the British before Jingzhou and Jizhou were stabilized; before Youzhou, Yizhou, and Qingzhou were stabilized, he would attack India. Of course, when he attacked Yanzhou, Qin was basically stable
In fact, the railway that Wang Jiuling wanted to build the most was the railway between Youzhou and Yizhou in Yunnan Province, and it has been under investigation here. However, no railways were built in later generations, and the terrain was complex and there were too many rivers, so it was too difficult to build, especially because the terrain was so
The most difficult problem to solve is that rivers only need to spend money to build bridges. The terrain is complex and it will be difficult to build them in a while. Therefore, Wang Jiuling is eager to build the railway between Chiang Mai and Jiaozhou Vinh City so that these places can be used as railways.
Taken together, although the terrain in these places is also very complex, it pales in comparison to Yunnan.
Although the railways have not yet been built, the main roads to various places have been built. Of course, this is actually to connect the roads in China with the roads that originally passed through the colonies and British colonies. As for when these countries controlled these places,
The rest of the work is not very good, but the roads have indeed been built a lot, and they are well built, otherwise they would not be able to transport the resources after plundering them.
Qin State now has four cement roads and asphalt roads from Jiaozhou Road to Yunnan, and there are many other dirt roads and sand roads.
There are also two cement roads in Yizhou, Yunnan. The road from Shangri-La to Mandalay is all asphalt or cement. There are also cement and asphalt roads to Myitkyina, and there are also cement and asphalt roads to Kokang and other places.
Asphalt roads have the advantages of smooth surface, solid, no joints, comfortable driving, wear-resistant, low noise, short construction period, easy maintenance and repair, able to absorb water, and suitable for phased construction.
Asphalt includes coal tar asphalt, petroleum asphalt, and natural asphalt. Natural asphalt is stored underground, and some form mineral deposits or accumulate on the surface of the earth's crust. Most of this asphalt has undergone natural evaporation and oxidation, and generally does not contain any toxins.
Petroleum asphalt is the residue after distillation of crude oil. Depending on the degree of refining, it becomes liquid, semi-solid or solid at room temperature. Petroleum asphalt is black and shiny. It has high temperature sensitivity because it has been distilled to above 400c during the production process.
, so it contains very few volatile components, but there may still be high molecular hydrocarbons that have not been volatilized. These substances are more or less harmful to human health.
Coal tar pitch is a by-product of coking, that is, the black substance remaining in the distillation kettle after tar distillation. It is only different from refined tar in physical properties and has no obvious boundaries. The general division method is to stipulate that the softening point is 267c (cubic method)
The ones below are tar, and those above 267c are bitumen. Coal tar pitch mainly contains refractory anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene and other substances that are toxic. Due to the different contents of these components, the properties of coal tar pitch also change at different temperatures.
Pyro asphalt has a great influence. It is easy to be brittle in winter and easy to soften in summer. It has a special smell when heated. After heating to 260C for 5 hours, the anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene and other components contained in it will volatilize.
The asphalt roads in Qin are all derived from coking coal asphalt and petroleum asphalt. If they are not used for road construction, they have no other use, so they can only be used for road construction, but they are usually built on site, so asphalt roads are
