Beijing, Yiping Road.
A migrant worker was walking on the sidewalk with his luggage on his back, looking left and right.
The man stopped in front of a dry cleaning shop and asked the old man who was eating noodles at the door, "Old man, is this Yiping Road?"
"What road?" The old man raised his head and narrowed his eyes.
"Yiping Road."
"What's wrong with Ni Ping?"
"Yiping Road!" The man shouted.
"Oh, this is Yiping Road." The old man swallowed a mouthful of noodles. "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
"Thank you, sir."
The man rubbed his throat and was about to continue walking when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and asked, "Sir, why aren't there any cars on this road?"
"What?"
"I said!
This road!
Why aren't there any cars! "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The old man stood up and pointed at the road outside the fence. "Aren't these all … Hm?
Where are the cars? "
"Yes." The man shrugged. "Where are the cars?
I walked all the way from Erping Road. Other than the cars parked on the side of the road, there aren't any other cars. "
"That's impossible!"
The old man put down his bowl and walked to the side of the road with his coat draped over his shoulders. He looked left and right. "This road is usually very congested. Why aren't there any cars today?"
Boom, boom, boom …
At this moment, an oppressive roar came from the end of the road.
The two immediately looked over and saw a blurry black shadow 'slowly' approaching.
"What's that?" The man was shocked.
"Oh."
The old man waved his hand nonchalantly and sat back down on the chair by the door. He started eating his noodles. "East Phoenix Bar 45."
"East … East Phoenix 45?"
"Yes. Why else would it be blocked?"
The increasingly deafening roar attracted more and more pedestrians and shop assistants to the side of the road.
The man had good eyesight. As the black shadow gradually 'enlarged', he felt that something was wrong. "Sir … Sir, is our East Phoenix a road roller?"
"What is a road roller?"
"Come … Come and take a look …"
The old man put down his bowl again and walked to the side of the road. He turned around and was dumbfounded.
In front of them, five cars with sirens blaring and dozens of motorcycles were clearing the way, driving away the onlookers.
Behind the cars, the 10-meter-tall, 30-meter-wide "train" that was wider than the road was moving forward in a straight line. The sharp tracks on both sides of the road "rode" on the sidewalks on both sides of the road, crushing the flower beds, street lamps, billboards, and trees along the road …
"As expected of the capital!" The man exclaimed, "The train is running on the road."
As for the old man beside him, his eyeballs were about to pop out.
"Out of the way!
Get out of the way!
Keep your distance! "
On both sides of the road, motorcycles drove along the sidewalk, holding loudspeakers and shouting at the confused crowd, "Back off!
Keep your distance! "
"Boom boom boom boom!"
"Out of the way!"
"Boom boom boom …"
The earth was trembling.
The doors and windows of the buildings along the road were shaking.
The old man and the man were chased away by the police officers. They retreated into the dry cleaner's shop and stared blankly at the train that covered the sky as it passed by.
"Boom boom …"
It wasn't until a minute later that the tail of the "train" left and the sky lit up again.
All that was left on the ground was crushed asphalt and bricks …
…
Inside the train, Chen Yu sat in the driver's seat and looked down at the dozen or so "ants" in front of him. He then explained to the camera, "Dear viewers, it's not that we don't want to take a wider road, but it's impossible to make a turn on a 300-meter-long train.
If we force a turn, the buildings on the street corners will definitely get smashed. "
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, a bridge in front of him got smashed by the train and collapsed into ruins.
Fortunately, the construction team had already erected partitions on both sides of the bridge to prevent stones and steel bars from damaging the buildings.
As for the various cars parked by the roadside, those that could be towed away had long since been towed away. As for those that couldn't be towed away in time, they could only record their names and wait for compensation.
Compared to a vacuum maglev train, these economic losses couldn't even be considered a drizzle...
[The power of the future. I'm trembling.]
[Scary.]
[Scary + 1.]
[Is anyone present at the scene?]
[It's been sealed. I can't get in.]
[Thanks for the invite. I'm at the scene. I just got run over by the tracks. I feel good. There are too many acquaintances. I'm hiding.]
[I'm here!
I'm very shocked!
I'm just feeling uncomfortable from the noise.]
"King, why didn't you drive the train manually?"
Little Peach couldn't help but ask after hesitating for a long time behind Chen Yu.
"... Mhm. Intelligent driving gives off a more technological feel.
Don't forget that the main purpose of this review is not to show off your skills, "Chen Yu explained in a serious tone.
"Oh." Little Peach nodded in realization.
"We're currently less than 10 kilometers away from our destination."
Picking up the blueprint, Chen Yu changed the topic and said, "We'll need six or seven minutes at most. Friends in front of the screen, you can focus now."
Standing up, Chen Yu leaned against the window and looked up at the several helicopters hovering in the sky. After silently calculating in his mind for a moment, he suddenly said, "Due to the uniqueness of today's future product, I plan to split the review into two parts.
"The first part is a series of construction plans.
This includes excavation, pipeline construction, and the like.
According to the AI's previous instructions, with the Level 3 Engineering Vehicle's work efficiency, we should be able to complete the construction within half a day.
"The second part is that after the construction is complete, we'll select some of the livestream rooms' viewers for a practical experience.
We'll transport you from Beijing to Shanghai, and 30 minutes later, we'll return to Beijing from Shanghai. "
Pausing, Chen Yu raised the route map in his hand and showed it to the camera. "Interested and courageous friends can line up at two o 'clock in advance.
I'll only accept the first 1,000 participants.
As for the government staff in front of the screen, I'll leave this event to you to organize and maintain.
It can also be considered the official launch of the vacuum maglev train. "
Opening his mouth, Chen Yu created a complicated and arduous task and casually tossed it to the government.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
Amidst a deafening roar, the General Construction Vehicle finally arrived at its destination.
This was a wide construction site in Pingchang District. Originally, the "Greening the Capital" plan was to build a large park here. However, after today, it would become the first vacuum maglev train station in human history.
Sitting back in the driver's seat, Chen Yu activated the loudspeaker and shouted to the people and vehicles outside the train, "We're going to start excavating. Everyone, move aside!
The further, the better! "
Rows of police cars and officers hurriedly left the scene.
They had long since had enough of the train's noise.
"Dimwit, activate the excavation mode."
"Yes, Chief Conductor.
Excavation mode activated … "
Boom!
The 300-meter-long train shook violently, and waves of heat spewed out from the front of the train, distorting space like rising geothermal energy in summer.
Immediately afterward, the originally sharp and smooth front of the train flipped and folded, revealing a massive drill bit inside.
The drill bit had a spiral structure, and it continuously unfolded and expanded until it eventually covered the entire windshield.
Whoosh — Whoosh … Whoosh … Whoosh …
In the next moment, the drill bit started spinning faster and faster, producing a piercing sound as it tore through the air.
"Do you wish to operate along the planned route?"
An electronically synthesized voice asked. A virtual projection then appeared before Chen Yu. There were only two options on the screen.
Yes/No.
"In that case, friends and viewers, the maglev train's vacuum pipeline construction …"
Chen Yu raised a finger and waved it at the camera. He then quickly pressed the "Yes" option.
"Begin!"
…
(I'll continue updating at night!)
