The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 374 Millions of Railway Workers
In August, the sun is scorching.

Liu Tao and the head of the Ministry of Railways inspected the construction of the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway" project.

A large number of railway engineers were involved in the construction.

The troops that had been streamlined were organized and put into the construction of the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway" project.

A huge construction site has been formed along the entire "Beijing-Kowloon Railway".

Railway station construction, bridge and tunnel construction, railway construction
According to the schedule, the entire "Beijing-Kowloon Railway" had to be completed before January 1987, 1, that is, before New Year's Eve, to leave enough time for subsequent work and ensure that it would be put into operation on or before June 28, 1987.

After all, there is still a series of work to be done before formal operation, including trial operation.

The 'Beijing-Kowloon Railway' can be said to have a heavy task and a tight time frame.

Up to now, there are less than three years left.

Having participated in it personally, Liu Tao was filled with admiration for Boss Tie's organizational ability.

So far, the number of people involved in the construction has exceeded 70.

And by next year, the peak number of construction workers will exceed one million!

A construction project involving millions of people is incredible.

At least let Panshan Group organize it. It will definitely not be able to do it.

The entire construction is carried out under military management and unified command, exuding a strong military style.

While inspecting, Liu Tao also checked the road sections that had already been constructed.

Only after he has inspected and confirmed that there are no problems, the completed road section is considered completed and can be put into use.

After all, this is a high-speed railway and there is no room for any trouble.

The construction of this high-speed railway requires much higher technical content than the construction of the Shenyang-Haikou Expressway.

In the construction of Shenhai Expressway, as long as the construction quality is ensured, that is, the quality of bridge and tunnel construction, the quality of roadbed construction, and the quality of concrete pavement, there will actually be no major problems.

The Beijing-Kowloon Railway is different. It is a high-speed railway that contains a large amount of technology and involves many fields, so the construction requirements must be very high.

Even the quality of the rails is incomparable to that of traditional railway rails.

There are also various substations, power grids, etc., and none of these can be neglected.

Otherwise, if the train is running at high speed, such carelessness may cause serious consequences.

In 1987, the leader was going to take the high-speed rail to Hong Kong. Who would dare to be careless about such a thing?

If something goes wrong, no one will be able to escape punishment.

Return to the capital for vacation.

In the yard, the children are playing.

It was summer vacation at this time, and Liu Ziyu was the leader of the children, responsible for watching them play.

The two little ones, Liu Qing'an and Liu Manhua, are already one and a half years old. They are happily following their older brothers and sisters around and playing.

Liu Tao's eldest child, Liu Jingming, is now almost 4 years old and is preparing to send him to kindergarten to start attending kindergarten next September.

Liu Tao’s eldest daughter, Liu Yingqing, is also two and a half years old. The little girl has two braids and is very cute.

The four children, the boys are handsome and cute, and the girls are beautiful like porcelain dolls.

The more Liu Tao looked at it, the more he liked it. Every time he came back here, he enjoyed the feeling of home. It was like a warm harbor where he could relax and cultivate his tired body and mind, allowing him to devote himself to work in a better state.

Because of his children, Liu Tao is more determined to build China into a prosperous and strong country, work hard for the rejuvenation of China, and make China stand at the top of the world. If his generation suffers, the next generation will not have to suffer.

The next generation can live in an era of peace and prosperity, can look at all countries in the world on an equal footing, and will not look up to any one country. They can stand up straight in the face of white people instead of being second or third class people, and there is no need for white people to put themselves above them.

He wants his next generation to have the confidence to say "no" to any country!
Liu Tao did not disturb the children playing. He stood on the other side of the lake, watching the children playing through the willow trees. Their joyful laughter washed away his physical and mental fatigue and cheered him up.

At the stone bridge, there is a conspicuous wooden sign that reads: Private place, please do not enter.

However, it was Zhu Lin and others who started their business and have opened flower shops, bookstores, coffee shops and tea shops.

In addition to Zhu Lin and Liu Hongying, there were three other relatives, and then ten students were hired to take turns working.

Business is okay, but it’s not profitable at the moment.

For example, in a coffee shop, the price of a cup of coffee is so high that ordinary people cannot afford it, and only a few people are willing to spend it.

After watching the children play for a while, Liu Tao walked over with the guards.

"Dad~~~" When the children saw Liu Tao, they ran towards him excitedly.

Even though their hands were covered in mud, they still rushed towards Liu Tao.

Liu Tao picked up his oldest son and lifted him high, causing the other children to shout, "I want one, too."

Liu Tao took turns lifting the children up high, and each person took two turns. There were too many children and Liu Tao was a little overwhelmed.

"Brother, you didn't even call me when you came back." Liu Ziyu said.

Liu Ziyu had grown into a beautiful young lady at this time, and 20 years old was the prime of her life.

Last year, Liu Ziyu was admitted to Tsinghua University’s computer science department and will be a sophomore starting next semester.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "Zi Yu, how are you doing in school?"

Liu Ziyu is about 165cm tall, which is considered tall among girls of that era. Because her family lives a wealthy life, Liu Ziyu is not malnourished like other students.

"Brother, I'm thinking about whether I should graduate early after my sophomore year, take the postgraduate entrance examination, or study abroad." Liu Ziyu hesitated.

Liu Tao was a little curious, "Why do you want to graduate early?"

"I feel that our school teachers' teaching is limited. When I ask them questions I don't understand, they can't answer them. When my classmates ask questions, I know, but our teachers don't know." Liu Ziyu complained, "Our teachers just read from the textbook."

Liu Tao pondered for a moment.

He was actually not surprised by this phenomenon.

Because there are very few real computer experts in China now.

It is normal to read from a script.

This all depends on the students' talents. If students are talented, they can learn more from textbooks. It is simply impossible to expect to learn a lot of knowledge from the teacher.

After all, there are many teachers here, some of whom even have college degrees.

"Well, if you can finish your sophomore year, complete the courses required by your school, and pass the exams of your school, I will give you a chance to apply for my graduate program." Liu Tao smiled faintly, "You can study for a master's and doctoral degree here, maybe you can learn more."

"Really?!" Liu Ziyu was surprised. "When did you recruit graduate students?"

Liu Ziyu knew that his brother was very capable. He was an honorary professor at thirteen schools and a top expert in computers. The famous Golden Dragon computer was developed by Liu Tao, which enabled China to possess core computer technology.

But she knew that Liu Tao was very busy, and even when he went back to Beijing for vacation every month, he still often worked.
