Chapter 296 Automatic Railway Laying Trainset

After a night of carnival, the next day, a new day began, and Cai Ruichen gained a group of more enthusiastic people.

What is different from the usual is that this time in the cafeterias of the collective communes, every survivor has been able to greet the soldiers who ate together very cordially.

These soldiers also responded to their greetings very politely.

Until I started working, this relationship continued to return to normal.

All the survivors who lined up on the streets of Xiaxi Town boarded their trucks one by one. Among them was a group of survivors with the largest number, almost a thousand people.

Dozens of buses pulled them to the outermost wall of the base, and beside them, there were a large number of heavily armed soldiers.

These soldiers are not here to supervise them, but to protect them.

With the beautiful living environment in the base, no one would choose to leave, let alone run away.

The protection force of an entire armored battalion provided safe protection for these thousands of survivors.

Because they have left the range of the base, there is no wall to protect them.

And here, a railway around the base is being built.

That's right, the railway.

At the lowest level of technological authority, Cai Ruichen extracted the technological railway, and the so-called technological railway is actually an advanced high-tech railway station.

However, Cai Ruichen has never built this unit, because at that time he had not yet obtained the unit of railway laying trainsets.

There is no need to build railways in the present world, and there were not so many workers in the wasteland at that time.

Everything is different now. At present, the base has protected the area within ten kilometers with walls.

With such a large area, the distance between the furthest two points within the wall has already reached 20 kilometers.

It is also more necessary to build some fast and exciting railways for the rapid transportation of weapons and ammunition or the mobilization of troops.

Although the number of trucks currently owned by the base is sufficient, although the transportation of trucks is very convenient,

But at the same distance, it is not as fast as a faster truck.

The trains running around every wall of the base. It can quickly transport the necessary materials or troops to any point.

And in the future, the area of ​​the base will continue to expand, with short-distance and rapid rail transportation. It will also become more efficient.

The most important thing is that among the trains that can be produced at the base, the pace-armed trains are what Cai Ruichen wants.

Whether it is a future missile train or an electromagnetic gun train. As for ballistic missile trains, they are all good things.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen felt that it was necessary to start building the railway now.

If it weren't for the construction of the Air Force Command and the expansion of the airport in this world, he planned to start building a two-way railway line between Marin Town and Samarra.

Biting back, at present, due to the abundance of human resources in the wasteland, the laying of the railway starts from the wasteland.

With the automatic railway laying train set, in fact, the people who build the railway are not tired at all.

Because whether it is to dig the foundation of the railway, put the concrete pier sleepers. It is still the rails, and there is no need for manual work to install screws and fill gravel.

The automatic railway laying train set with a length of more than 100 meters can automatically complete these tasks.

And what they're going to do, is just use this automatic rail laying train set.

In fact, the automatic railway laying machine was first invented by the Germans in the last century.

And most of the railways in Europe are all completed by this train laying the tracks.

Even the United States does not have this equipment, and the world only has Deutsche Bahn. have such technology.

But in the wasteland, similar paved railway trains are very common, in the transportation literature. There are many records in this regard.

And among these survivors, there are still some people who have long been proficient in using this equipment without the need for engineers to teach them.

And what they have to do every day is to drive the automatic railway laying train set from the temporary garage inside the fence to the outside of the fence along the already laid railway.

Then follow the previously laid railway and continue to work forward.

In front of the railway. A special large engineering vehicle for digging ditches has already started to work. Under the engineering vehicle, there are two large shovels with special structure. As the engineering vehicle advances, it happens to dig out a road for reinforcement and laying of railways. ditch.

The automatic railway laying train set following behind will start working on the first ditch.

There are six conveyor belts on the train set. The upper three conveyor belts are stacked with rows of cement pier sleepers as a whole, and the lower three are neatly placed rails.

Together with these rails and concrete pier sleepers, the total weight of this automatic railway laying train set reached 3,000 tons.

You can use the crawler to walk, and you can also use the laid railway to walk.

The reason there are two ways is to ensure that he can complete the laying of the railway without the railway foundation.

As for the railway running function installed in the middle, it is because of work needs.

Because the sleepers and rails that are automatically lowered need to be reinforced, and the gravel that is transported also needs to be covered on the railway.

All of these need train sets to complete, so he must be able to run on the rails.

When the work started, some people drove trucks to the crushing plant to deliver the crushed stones, and other workers also began to check the railway ditches.

Most of the people climbed onto the cars of the train set, and some people sat in the jobs near the ground on both sides.

Among these people, the first one holds a rubber grommet, the second one takes an iron grommet, and the last one just takes a huge rivet.

After the train set started running, the concrete pier sleepers on the top began to be placed under the conveyor belt and placed in the ditch by the mechanical arm, followed by several people to do the work of adjusting these sleepers.

With a few sleepers and a section of rail, the busy work began.

The people following the train set simply fixed the rails on the concrete pier sleepers with iron buckles. Four hours later, all the rails and concrete piers on the train set were used up. A five-kilometer-long railway is as simple as that It was laid, and then the train set slowly retreated.

Then it was the turn of the people on both sides, and as the train set retreated, they bent quickly to insert rivets and spacers into the drilled holes in the rails and sleepers.

The hydraulic hammer machine with the front of the train retreating all the way back, nailed the prepared rivets directly into the concrete pier, completely fixing the sleepers and rails tightly.

At this time, the trucks that were transporting them also began to pour gravel on the side of the fixed rails.

Then another engineering vehicle, with an inclined funnel, quickly covered all the sand and stones on the rails, and a section of the railway was completed in this way.

A train set, ten hours a day, with an average efficiency of ten kilometers per day. (To be continued.) SJGSF0916
