[Is there a bug in this AI?]
[Maximum speed of 14,000 kilometers per hour...]
[Awesome!]
[Scary...]
[Newton: China is not under my jurisdiction.]
[What is our goal?]
[Tie Jian: Surpassing the speed of light!]
[Isn't this speed impossible?]
[Isn't the theoretical maximum speed of a maglev train at 4,000 kilometers per hour?]
[Transdimensional's UP is being unreasonable here.]
[Shouldn't we pay more attention to its construction capabilities than its operation?]
Amidst the bullet comments, the first phase of the AI's introduction ended. Now, the second phase began.
"During construction, the train's length will be reduced to 294 meters.
The construction method is divided into four parts. The first two parts will operate simultaneously.
"One: Activate the threaded carbon alloy drill and drill an 18-meter-radius hole underground.
The recommended depth is between 750 and 1,200 meters above sea level.
"Two: Collect soil and rocks under the threaded structure. Through high-pressure manufacturing, the front bezel will expand to form a temporary cylindrical support vacuum pipeline to prevent soil from being squeezed by gravity.
"Three: After the temporary vacuum pipeline is constructed, inject a standard amount of iron, copper, gold, manganese, zinc, and twelve other metals and rare-earth materials into the material compartment. Lay an electromagnetic track along the temporary vacuum pipeline to reinforce the pipeline.
"Four: Create a straight-tube, ultra-high-pressure air pump every 200 kilometers and connect it to the ground..."
The electronic voice's explanation was dry and complicated. However, with the assistance of the accompanying pictures and videos, Chen Yu and the livestream's audience had a rough understanding of the vacuum pipeline's production process.
Overall, the process wasn't complicated. The only thing worthy of Chen Yu's attention was the third step of construction.
The so-called "standard amount" of iron, copper, gold, and other metals and rare-earth materials needed to be added.
These materials were very difficult for Chen Yu to obtain.
However, without these materials, he couldn't build a maglev vacuum pipeline.
After standing in silence for a moment, Chen Yu touched the crystal ball and paused the AI's introduction. He then looked at the camera and said, "Officials, you must be watching the livestream as well.
The AI's introduction just now is very clear. If I want to build a vacuum pipeline, I will need a large amount of iron, copper, and other metals and rare-earth materials.
For the sake of the review's smooth progress, let's make a deal. "
After saying so, Chen Yu walked to the right side of the hall and sat on a leather sofa. He then crossed his legs and said, "I think this deal is beneficial.
The content of the deal is very simple. You provide me with the materials and venue I need for the review.
Meanwhile, I will build a vacuum maglev pipeline with a speed exceeding 5,000 kilometers per hour here.
"My current location is in the capital, hmm …"
He pondered for a moment and snapped his fingers. "Let's go to Sorcery Capital.
It was more than a thousand kilometers from Beijing to Shanghai.
After the construction was completed, the vacuum pipeline and the 22nd-century maglev train were leased to the government for free.
Of course, the ownership is mine.
What do you think of this deal? "
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, bullet comments flooded the five livestream rooms.
Holy shit!
Holy shit!
Holy shit!
I need a sip of dichlorvos to calm down.
The officials:???
Great luck from the heavens.
Someone gave me a futuristic maglev train. How should I receive it?
Waiting online.
UP, you are the ruler of the world!
If it's really open, we can also take a ride.
I was so excited that I popped the last egg.
Let's see how much psychological trauma each country has …
As a blind person, he was really excited to see this scene.
Once this route is opened … it's a little crazy.
…
At the same time,
Beijing, in the special situation team conference room.
Bang!
The middle-aged team leader slammed the table, his face flushed with excitement, and his whole body trembled.
Everyone knew very well what a route with a speed of over 5,000 kilometers per hour represented.
Not to mention, this route was from Beijing to Shanghai!
In economics, there was a term called economic externalities.
It referred to behavior that affected society and others without receiving any returns.
If such behavior produced a beneficial impact, it would be called a positive externality.
If a negative impact was produced, it would naturally be called a negative externality.
Meanwhile, transportation, especially the construction of railways, was a very typical economic behavior with significant externalities.
If one looked at it, the development trend of any country would be proportional to the establishment of its transportation system.
Moreover, the "smoother" the transportation system was, the greater the positive externalities it produced.
On a smaller scale, it would only increase the country's GDP. On a larger scale, it could even drive the country's overall economy, technology, production, industry, culture, construction, population and employment flows, international influence, and so on.
These positive externalities were incalculable and immeasurable...
This was also the main reason why China had built its railway system regardless of costs and at a loss for several decades.
The ice-cold railways were the lifeblood that supported the entire Chinese civilization.
Yet now, a maglev train with a speed of 5,000 kilometers per hour and a maximum passenger capacity of zero had actually fallen from the sky...
Shaking his arms, the middle-aged team leader pulled out a medicine box from his pocket and swallowed three pills at a time. He then took a deep breath.
Once the maglev train was put into operation, even if it was purely research, it would be revolutionary to the development of science and technology, especially the development of materials science.
Although reverse engineering technology was incredibly difficult, even a small step forward would be a huge harvest.
Aside from the above two points, Chen Yu's behavior and attitude were also a major breakthrough for the government.
One minute later, the middle-aged team leader calmed down. He then picked up his communicator and walked out of the conference room.
He needed to contact his superiors.
Under the escort of four security guards, the middle-aged team leader walked into a special compartment. However, before he could make a call, his communicator rang.
Startled, the middle-aged team leader hurriedly answered the call.
"Cooperate with Target A's actions!
I've already made arrangements in Shanghai. Try to organize the analysis department under you and have them produce a road plan. Send it to Target A's hands. "
"Yes, sir!"
At this critical moment, the communication between the two sides was concise and to the point.
After walking out of the compartment and entering the conference room, the middle-aged team leader glanced at the dumbfounded crowd and said loudly, "Staff teams 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, stop all current tasks. You must plan an underground route from Beijing to Shanghai within three minutes."
"Yes, sir!"
Beads of sweat appeared on Big Sis Wu's forehead as her hands rapidly tapped on the special tablet.
"Contact the railway department and have them send all railway and high-speed rail routes to the staff team for information reference."
"Leader, authority."
After completing the authorization, the middle-aged team leader continued, "Notify the field team closest to Transdimensional Review to bring the wireless fax and head to Lotus Forest Park immediately!
They must arrive within ten minutes! "
"Yes, sir."
"Block all foreign communications and contact information, even from the Observer."
"Yes, sir."
"Notify the 224th Division in the north to enter a state of emergency and be prepared to cooperate with the Special Situation Office at any time. Pass this message to your superiors. Once the authorization key has been received, send it to my personal communicator. I want to contact the 224th Division."
"Leader, authority..."
…
At this moment, many government agencies were operating at frightening efficiency.
As for Chen Yu, he stood up from the sofa and approached the crystal ball. He then reached out and touched the surface of the crystal ball, saying, "It might take a while for the government to send a message.
Since we have nothing better to do, let's start the train. "
"Dimwit, start the train."
"Starting up. Please wait a moment, conductor."
Less than three seconds after the electronically synthesized voice fell, two headlights lit up at the front of the train. The headlights then shot forward like two laser beams...

Today, I've been rewarded two times. It's even again.
