Chapter 526 Top Port
The peaceful world public opinion is being turned upside down by a series of plans of Future Technology Group.
High-speed rail technology is a relatively mature technology, and it is also a new driving force for rapid global economic development.
Even the United States, which has not built high-speed rail for decades, has already planned to start building bullet trains to replace the current green cars in the United States.
In fact, it is not that the United States does not have such technology, but it does not have much money to make such a large investment. After all, the construction of the railway system and highway network in the United States has been completed decades ago.
In the United States, there has not been such a large-scale construction project for decades. All the investment costs of that year have been recovered, and the high-speed toll mechanism has been cancelled.
But one of the problems brought about is that it is old and in disrepair. Because of the developed air transportation, a long section of the railway is abandoned every year.
The highways are getting more and more dilapidated, especially the earliest highways, there are problems everywhere, the uneven ground or some cracks are already considered minor problems.
The United States originally planned to repair domestic road transportation facilities at the beginning of the 21st century.
But unfortunately, the U.S. Congress has never been able to come up with this money. Every department that uses money will do its best to cry to Congress at the annual budget meeting every year. Even a lot of publicity and momentum started half a year ago. up.
In terms of asking for state funds, every money-spending department in the United States is staging a grand Hollywood production every year, and all of them have lost their morals. Crying about being poor has become the best financial skill of all American departments.
Faced with the crying poverty of various departments, the U.S. Congress has no extra money to improve these infrastructures. After all, these facilities are still usable, and they are not really broken. Anyway, they can be delayed anyway.
On the other hand, other countries in the world are constantly improving and building domestic transportation facilities. Compared with the world hegemony of the United States, they seem to be ahead of time. In fact, there are more problems.
It's just that the outside world is blocked by the superficial glory. Few people on the outside will see the problems that few people care about.
But this problem is a big problem for Americans, and it is on many official government websites in the United States. Or on the American People's Livelihood Forum, responding to such issues. There has always been a minority.
Regrettably, it seems that there have been no major accidents, and the US government has never taken it seriously.
Now after hearing that Iraq has planned to start building high-speed rail and subways.
Many grassroots citizens in the United States also have to express their emotions. Could it be that even Iraq's railways surpass those of the United States?
Although there are not many people expressing such emotion, it still occupies a certain proportion, but it did not cause any disturbance.
But it's the rest of the Middle East that's getting real attention. After all, Iraq is building subways under such war conditions. In fact, few people really like it.
Some people even said that the high-speed rail was built only to let those extremist organizations. Being able to quickly gather in various regions will not bring any economic smiles or any benefits at all.
In fact, this is indeed the case, but under the circumstances that the outside world is generally not optimistic, the future shipping company stated that it will completely improve and expand the Basra port and completely repair the port's operating mechanism.
At the same time, the Iraqi government also stated that it plans to raze all the abandoned warehouse areas in the south of Basra Port, and a future construction company will build a larger modern comprehensive cargo port here, which will then be combined with the original port to become the Middle East The largest comprehensive port.
Even in order to improve the throughput of the port and the operating efficiency of ships, the depth and width of the waterway from Basra Port to the Persian Gulf will be expanded. It is planned to be able to dock supertankers of more than 300,000 tons or super container ships carrying tens of thousands of containers in the future. .
The entire investment and construction will be undertaken by the Future Technology Group, because only in this way can the future transportation needs and goods circulation needs of the Future Technology Group be met.
After hearing the news, almost all the experts in the world thought that the Future Technology Group was all amused.
The world's first building, which has already started construction, has long been criticized, claiming that it is the most failed building, because it is impossible to go to a place like Iraq, and it is just a small town with nothing.
The railway is still criticized and not optimistic, because Iraq has not needed such high-speed transportation in recent years. Is it just to make visiting relatives and visiting relatives an hour or two faster?
Now it is necessary to build the world's top modern port. After such an investment, it is impossible to get it without hundreds of billions of dollars.
And what is the use of building such a huge port? Is it used to unload those grains? To build a port with a daily throughput of millions of tons, the result is only loading and unloading tens of thousands of tons of goods every day, not even tens of thousands of tons.
After all, in Iraq and the vicinity of the Middle East, there is no demand for freight in this area at all. There are not so many goods shipped there, and naturally there are not so many goods shipped out.
At present, the port with the largest throughput in the world, Zhoushan Port, has an annual throughput of about one billion tons, and this has become the port with the largest annual cargo throughput in the world.
The throughput of Rotterdam in the Netherlands is only over 400 million tons.
Now the two lunatics, Future Technology Group and Iraq, have actually expanded the Basra Port into a world-class port that can reach the annual throughput of one billion tons.
When the construction is completed, if the annual throughput does not reach hundreds of millions of tons, it will definitely make the whole world laugh.
At the same time, the blind optimism of the Future Technology Group is even more incomprehensible. Is it possible that the Future Technology Group can completely change the fate of Iraq and even the Middle East?
Otherwise, all these investments are destined to end in failure, and even a little bit of cost cannot be recovered in the end.
Those port facilities will eventually turn into rusty scrap iron under the humid and salty sea wind. The investment of at least hundreds of billions of dollars will eventually become scrap iron and be sold.
Fortunately, the Future Technology Group seems to be very aware of the reaction from the outside world, and has not expressed any intention to invest at all, but even if it does, it will definitely not be taken advantage of by anyone who will invest in such a project that is stable but not profitable, and even the cost cannot be recovered.
However, the discussion on this matter is not over yet, and Future Airlines broke the news again. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
