Chapter 696： Academician Qi who was convinced

The latest website: "This, this price is too high???"

As the leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology, many of the funds handled are in the unit of 100 million. I have never seen any projects, but Chen Hao submitted the project application, and he was really surprised when he saw the cost of laying vacuum pipes. .

"376 million yuan per kilometer..."

The straight-line distance from Beijing to Yangcheng is 1895 kilometers. If a Beijing-Guangzhou line of super high-speed rail is built, the cost will reach 712.52 billion yuan!

This is just the cost of one line!

The leader took a few deep breaths to calm down. Looking at the application for this project, he felt extremely complicated for a while.

He couldn't help sighing, "Alas, this price is too expensive."

As of June 2021, the total operating mileage of China's railways has exceeded 150,000 kilometers!

The operating mileage of high-speed railways is close to more than 40,000 kilometers, accounting for a little more than two-thirds of the total mileage of high-speed railways in the world!

China Railway has become a business card of China in the world.

And the cost of it?

Among the high-speed railways with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, the cost per kilometer of the Shanghe-Hangzhou high-speed railway is 121 million yuan, the cost of Zhengwan high-speed railway is 144 million yuan per kilometer, and the cost of Jiangxi-Shenzhen high-speed railway is 148 million yuan per kilometer;

Among the high-speed railways with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, the cost of Xuyan high-speed railway is 137 million yuan per kilometer, the cost of Baoyin high-speed railway is 103 million yuan per kilometer, and the cost of Chika high-speed railway is 108 million yuan per kilometer;

Among the ordinary railways with a speed of 120-160 kilometers per hour, the Taixi Railway costs 32 million yuan per kilometer, and the Heruo Railway costs 27 million yuan per kilometer.

(The data comes from the approval document of the feasibility study report of the China Railway General Administration)

The construction cost here is routine, and some plateau areas are surprisingly expensive. For example, the Ya'an to Nyingchi section of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway is just an ordinary railway, but the cost per kilometer is as high as 316 million yuan!

However, these costs are not worth mentioning in front of the maglev high-speed rail.

The cost of one kilometer of maglev in Magic City is about 290 million yuan, which is equivalent to the price of two kilometers of high-speed railways. This is why the country does not vigorously develop maglev trains.

Still too expensive!

There are currently three maglev trains in China, one is the Magic City Maglev, the operating speed is as high as 430 km/h, and it only takes 8 minutes from the center of Pudong Airport Road. It is not profitable, and it only exists as an experimental project for the global maglev train.

The other two are the Xingcheng maglev and the Jingcheng S1 line. These two are medium and low-speed maglevs. The cost is only one-third of the magic maglev, but the speed is also very low, less than 100, which is quite slow. The advantage is that the noise is low. , Do not disturb the people.

It is worth mentioning that the Star City Maglev Express Line is the first medium and low-speed maglev that is independently designed, manufactured, constructed and managed independently in China.

The cost of one kilometer of the vacuum super high-speed rail submitted by Chen Hao is 376 million yuan, which is higher than the cost of the high-speed maglev express line in Modu, but the speed is very different and the meaning is different.

"You have to ask your superiors immediately!"

The unknown leader looked stern, picked up the phone on the desk and made a few calls quickly.

The construction of the super high-speed rail is of great importance, and it is even related to the national transportation, which should not be underestimated.

It was also because of these few phone calls that there were huge waves in several departments in the entire capital area.

three hours later.

A seminar was held in a certain unit. The participants included 9 academicians from the National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, as well as experts and engineers from the Ministry of Science and Technology and China Railway in Beijing.

There are even more senior department personnel to sit in.

The main topic of the conference attended by many academic experts is the feasibility study on the construction of a vacuum hyperloop.

I saw that on the eve of the conference, many experts and scholars who attended the conference were whispering and discussing in a low voice.

When I received the notice, I didn't tell what the meeting was, only the time and place, and I had to sign a high-level non-disclosure agreement before entering the meeting room. The importance of the matter was obviously not small.

But when they entered and looked at the red banner, many people were stunned.

A vacuum hyperloop? ?

Did you make a mistake, which civilian department fooled to the ministries?

As an authority in the industry, he is no stranger to Hyperloop. No one thinks that this concept technology will be realized at present, at least 20 years from now.

Southwest Jiaotong University is now doing research in this area, but only as a national technical reserve in this field.

The noise in the conference room did not stop until a senior leader of the higher-level department of the Academy of Sciences came in.

After the big leader sat down, he looked around and said with a smile, "Everyone is an expert in the field of transportation in our country. Today, I invite everyone to discuss the construction of the vacuum hyperloop."

There was silence in the conference room, and several experts looked at each other.

Until a white-haired old man rudely broke the silence.

"Chief, I don't know who is paying attention to the construction of the vacuum hyperloop. I, Qi Zhenguo (fictional), are here to speak out."

The old man's eyes were firm, his voice rose, and he said decisively: "It is impossible for any country in the world to completely conquer the super high-speed rail project within ten years!"

This remark aroused the approval of many experts and scholars at the meeting. Twenty years is hard to say, but ten years is definitely not enough.

Not to mention that the old man who spoke is Qi Zhenguo, the Taishan Beidou in the field of transportation in our country, the cornerstone of the country!

The big leader was not surprised by this reaction at all, but replied with a smile: "Elder Qi, I know that you are a national treasure of our country, and you are an authority in this regard, but what if you have made a big breakthrough?"

"Have a breakthrough?" The old man's expression remained the same, even more serious.

He categorically said: "Impossible, the technical requirements of the hyperloop are too high. Professor Zhang Yaoping introduced this concept to China 15 years ago. If I wanted to get strong support from the country, I personally opposed it."

"What I am against is not the hyperloop project, but it is not suitable to spend too much human, financial and material resources at this stage. I still agree with it as a technical reserve."

The big leader laughed and asked Qi Zhenguo in high spirits.

"Does Qi Lao know who submitted the application for the Hyperloop project?"

"Who?"

"Professor Chen Haochen from Guanghua University."

Old Qi's expression changed, "Lu Island...that Professor Chen?"

"right."

"This……"

After being affirmed by the big leader, Qi Lao frowned. If this mentions any university professor, or even an academician of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, he will insist on his own point of view.

Can,

That person is Professor Chen Haochen from Guanghua University!

When he was still Dr. Chen, he caused a lot of momentum in the academic world, and even the light of the genius young Cao Shen had to be blocked.

After returning to China, the news that came out of the toss is even more jaw-dropping in the domestic academic circles.

Lactide can still be understood, but photonic screens and photonic chips are not simple. They are related to the field of photonic science and are recognized by many authorities as products of future technology, which are absolutely impossible to appear in modern times.

However, it was breached by Guanghua University.

"Chief, the super high-speed rail is very important, you must not make decisions lightly, you must be extremely cautious!"

Qi Zhenguo asked in a deep voice, "I have four questions to ask that Professor Chen from Guanghua."

"One, how to realize the vacuum environment of the pipeline?"

"Second, how to ensure the normal use of the equipment in the vacuum pipeline?"

"Third, how to solve the braking problem of the vacuum pipeline train, and how to evacuate passengers safely once the operation fails?"

"Fourth, how to ensure that the line shape of the vacuum pipeline meets the requirements of the subsonic or even supersonic speed of the train?"

These four problems are also problems that have trapped many experts and scholars in the scientific community, and cannot be implemented without solving them.

Especially in the environment of vacuum pipes, once there is a little accident, it is 100% car crash!

The previous Wenzhou high-speed rail accident dealt a serious blow to my country's booming high-speed rail industry. It was not until the past two years that it recovered and the speed returned to 350km/h.

"Haha, Mr. Qi, you really missed the mark this time." The leader smiled and glanced at the secretary next to him.

Soon the secretary withdrew, took out more than 20 bound manuscripts from the safe on the side, and distributed them to the experts present.

The moment Qi Zhenguo saw the cover of the manuscript in his hand, his eyebrows jumped.

【Application Form for Vacuum Pipeline Maglev Train Project】

Old Qi, who was originally determined, was inexplicably a little uneasy. Could it be that he really made a mistake in his judgment, and that Professor Chen could really figure it out?

The manuscript began to flip, and at first I looked at it quite quickly, but the more I looked at the back, the slower the flipping frequency.

In particular, the problems that plagued the scientific community have been solved in the manuscript, which made Qi Zhenguo's pupils shrink suddenly.

A shock in my heart, followed by excitement.

He raised his head, looked at the big leader, and asked anxiously: "Headmaster, there are only general solutions in this application. Is there any specific data support and detailed plan?"

"Of course there is," the leader couldn't help but glance at Qi Lao, and said, "It's just Qi Lao, this must be in the hands of others, how to write it in the application?"

Hearing this, Qi Lao laughed dumbfounded shook his head with a wry smile.

It was because he was so excited that he lost his sense of proportion.

Continuing to look at the manuscript at hand, the movements became cautious.

In the entire conference room, there was only the sound of turning pages and the sound of tsk tsk admiring from time to time.

After reading the entire application, Qi Lao slowly let out a sigh of relief.

His eyes were complicated, and Mo Mingde felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"It's really a hero out of a boy, this Professor Chen is amazing."

ps: It hurts my head to see the relevant information, and I'm really sorry for the delay.

Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets.
