Chapter 621 Steam Pile Driver
Xiao He opened his mouth helplessly, and explained all the difficulties encountered in railway construction in detail.
And Nei Shiteng took out the topographic map of Wengshan in Jizhou.
"His Royal Highness, this is where the problem lies. The railway running through the Taihang Mountains and the North Hebei Plain runs from west to east, but if the railway tracks are laid on the main peak of Wengshan Mountain, then the direction must be changed, from east to north."
"The slope of the main peak of Aung San is too steep, and it was difficult to lay the rails before. However, with the steam excavator, the rails of Aung San have been laid."
"It's just that the Engineering Institute can't test this section of the track. The direction of the steam train was originally from west to east, but it suddenly turned from east to north. The steam train can't turn around at all, and it can't turn."
"If the steam train can't pass, we can't test the safety of this section of the track."
Dun Ruo on one side took a step forward, cupped his fists towards Ying Yu and said.
"I see."
"This problem is easy to solve."
After hearing the narration of several people, Ying Yu smiled lightly.
"The ministers are ignorant, please ask His Royal Highness to clarify."
Xiao He and Nei Shiteng looked at each other and said respectfully at the same time.
Ying Yu didn't use ink, took a pen from Nei Shiteng, and then drew a character 'human' on the map, on the railway line of the main peak of Wengshan.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Seeing Ying Yu draw a character 'person' on the Wengshan railway line, Xiao He asked in a very puzzled manner.
"Reform the railroad tracks here into this way, and the problem you mentioned can be solved."
The corners of Ying Yu's lips raised slightly, and he said calmly.
"Your Highness, if the railway at the foot of Aung San is rebuilt like this, how should the steam train pass?"
Nesten also asked in a puzzled manner.
"Change the railway here to a 'herringbone' shape, and the steam train is also unable to pass normally, so we need to make a fuss about the steam train."
"Usually, our Daqin steam train has only one traction steam locomotive, and it is indeed impossible to pass on this railway, but if we hang another traction steam locomotive at the end of the entire steam train."
"In this way, there is a traction steam locomotive at the front and rear of this steam train. After passing through here, it first drives to the top of the railway on flat ground, and then the traction steam locomotive that was originally responsible for pulling was changed to push, and the traction steam locomotive responsible for pushing The locomotive was changed to pull, and then the entire steam train passed through the track change, so that it can easily pass through the terrain here."
Ying Yu's words made Xiao He, Nei Shiteng and all the ministers present look joyful for an instant, and they looked very excited
"Your Highness, what you mean is that as long as the steam train running on this track has a traction steam locomotive mounted on the front and back, and then passes through here, the head and tail can be swapped."
Nestern took a deep breath and said excitedly.
"Exactly."
Ying Yu nodded.
At this moment, Xiao He, Nei Shiteng and other ministers suddenly realized what Ying Yu meant.
Such a solution is indeed the best, not only to solve the problem of how the steam train boarded Aung San.
At the same time, because a traction steam locomotive is mounted on the front and back, the power of the whole steam train has also been strengthened, so that the steam train can easily climb the steep main peak of Aung Shan!
"It turns out that this problem can be solved in this way. Your Highness's intelligence and wisdom are really extraordinary, and my ministers are far behind!"
"That's right! Your Highness is so easy to solve this problem that has troubled me for a long time. Your Highness is worthy of our Daqin and even the whole world, the one-of-a-kind amazing talent!"
"Our Great Qin has His Highness, and we will be able to develop rapidly and become the world's most powerful country. Even under the leadership of His Highness, our Great Qin will rule the world just around the corner!"
Xiao He, Nei Shiteng and other ministers present all had expressions of excitement, eyes full of admiration and awe, bowed towards Ying Yu, clasped their fists, and spoke respectfully.
"Now that this problem is solved, do you have any other questions?"
Ying Yu looked at the crowd, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said slowly.
"Your Highness, there is still a problem with the construction of the railway. Your Highness needs to explain it to us."
"The railway connecting our Great Qin Dynasty and Rome is under construction with all our strength, but the people sent by the Academy of Engineering sent out a letter to report that if the railway wants to reach the territory of Rome, it must pass through the land of Longyuan and Zhuzhou."
"But the land of Longyuan is a large area of loess and Gobi Desert. The land is soft and full of sand and gravel, and it is prone to soil erosion."
"This kind of geology may not be able to build a railway at all. After all, the steam train and the weight of the rails are enough to collapse the loess and sand."
"Furthermore, because of the dry climate and strong winds all year round in the border of Zhuzhou, deserts and deserts abound, it is also not suitable for building railways."
"If the geological softness of the Longyuan land and Zhuzhou land boundary cannot be effectively resolved, then it will be difficult to build the railway connecting our Great Qin and Rome!"
After hearing Ying Yu's words, Xiao He spoke again.
"I see, I will find a solution to this problem."
"My lords, go back first, and I will let you know when I come up with a solution."
Hearing this, Ying Yu frowned slightly.
"In that case, I will take my leave first."
Xiao He, Nei Shiteng and others bowed to Ying Yu, then turned and left.
After waiting for a few people to leave, Ying Yu returned to the study and began to think.
The land of Longyuan is covered with soft loess, and there is also a Gobi desert full of sand and gravel. It is really not easy to build a railway on it.
The loess is soft and prone to subsidence. This problem is relatively easy to solve. You only need to build solid walls on both sides of the rails, and then fill the walls with hard sand and sand.
But even so, the loess under the railroad track is still very soft, and with the addition of gravel and sand, the weight has greatly increased, making it very easy for the ground to collapse.
At the same time, the same is true for the deserts and deserts above the land of Zhuzhou. In order to solve the problem of soft land, in addition to laying a lot of sand and sand under the railway tracks, it is also necessary to find a way to make the loess or desert ground firm. stand up.
And the only way to do this is to use thick logs to continuously hammer the ground to make the ground stronger.
However, the manpower required for such a move is extremely large, and even if Daqin has enough labor force, such a railway running through the land of Longyuan and Zhuzhou, if you want to hammer the ground of all the places the railway passes through, The time consumption is also extremely huge.
By then, when the railway is built, no one will know that it will be the Year of the Monkey.
Suddenly, Ying Yu seemed to think of something, and his eyes flickered.
Then, he opened the system mall and kept searching.Not long.
Ying Yu spent 2 million reputation points in exchange for a brand new item, the manufacturing process of the steam pile driver.
With the steam pile driver, it can solve the problem of soft land at the boundary between Longyuan and Zhuzhou, and it can also greatly strengthen the firmness of the ground.
In this way, under the construction of the railway, a lot of manpower and time can be saved.
At the same time, the steam pile driver can also be used in the construction of the mining field, and the steam pile driver can also be used to make the foundation of the house stronger.
It can be said that the appearance of steam pile drivers has greatly increased the stability of houses and buildings in Daqin.
The foundation of houses and various buildings has become stronger, which is equivalent to increasing the safety of the people of Daqin. At the same time, steam pile drivers also play a great role in the development of many industries.
After exchanging the steam piling machine manufacturing process blueprint, Ying Yu did not rush to the Academy of Sciences, after all, it was getting late.
Moreover, the construction of the railway connecting Daqin and Rome is not in a hurry.
