Chapter 1145 Route Planning
The opening of this railway will directly connect the central area where Black Moon City is located with the Northeast region, making the transportation efficiency between the two places soar like a rocket.
Originally starting from Black Moon City, even a small-scale cavalry team would need at least a week to reach the northeastern border.
Switching to a transportation team, affected by the entire transportation efficiency, this time will be further extended significantly.
And now, with the steam train, it only takes three days from Black Moon City to the northeastern border! Is this actual improvement in transportation efficiency more than just doubling it?
This is undoubtedly a huge help to the ongoing construction projects in the Northeast, which is enough to significantly speed up the entire development efficiency of the Northeast.
Although at the current stage of Great Zhou, the scale of construction in the southern region is larger, everyone knows that the entire development focus of Great Zhou has now tilted towards the northeastern region.
In fact, this is indeed a wise choice.
Whether it is considering the external factors of the coalition forces and green skins, or the internal factors of the environment and train transportation in the Northeast region, the development priority of the Northeast region is now higher.
As for the southern region, development and construction are also taking place at a leisurely pace.
But the problems they are facing there have been mentioned before. The land is large and there are many troubles. The entire plan needs to be changed every now and then, resulting in many engineering teams being unable to start construction.
There is nothing wrong with adjusting your focus appropriately, putting troublesome things aside, and doing what you can do first.
Today's Northeast region has become really lively all of a sudden, and Zhou Xu has not been idle recently, after their Da Zhou steam train No. 001 was officially put into use.
With the completion of this major project, a large amount of labor originally invested in laying rail tracks was suddenly freed up.
Zhou Xu had no intention of leaving them idle. In fact, even before the completion of steam train No. 001, Zhou Xu had already begun to wonder where the second steam train should be placed.
Regarding this issue, he had two choices in mind.
The first is to arrange it for New South District and New Taipei District.
The most significant effect of connecting these two areas is that it can greatly improve the efficiency of supporting the plain fortress.
In case the plain fortress in the New North District is attacked by greenskins again, it goes without saying how fast the entire support efficiency will be if there is a steam train in the New South District.
The second is to arrange it for the southern region. It goes without saying much about the development projects in the southern region.
If you want to be rich, build roads first!
Building railways is better!
Once a railway is successfully opened in the southern region, the entire development efficiency will inevitably be greatly improved.
Of these two options, the former focuses on military support, and will not have a great impact on the development of the two areas.
Because the two areas of Xinnan District and Xinbei District have been fully developed in the early stage of Zhou Xu, most of their labor force in Zhouxu is now in the southern and northeastern regions. There won't be any big projects within the time frame.
The focus of the latter is undoubtedly completely focused on development and construction, and the southern border has been pushed to the sea.
Once a war breaks out and unidentified ships are discovered, their Zhou Dynasty maritime fleet will immediately intercept and kill them outside the border.
In other words, even if a war breaks out, it will be a naval battle. The inland army troops have not received any relevant training and do not have warships. How useful can they be in a naval battle?
Not to mention that after solving the scourge of the Rat Men, the Southern Territory has been peaceful and peaceful in these years.
In this way, unlike the Northeastern region, which can promote development and provide military support, almost having both, for the next choice, no matter which side Zhou Xu chooses, he can only choose two. One. Zhou Xu thought about it for a while and finally chose the southern border!
After all, this is a time of peace, and his focus must still be on development and construction.
As for the Plain Fortress in New Taipei District...
To be honest, after the dwarves of Copperhearth Fort tightened their blockade, Shi Lei could handle any small group of green-skinned troops that could sneak in. It's not stressful in itself.
Instead of adding beauty to the New Taipei District, it is better to go to the southern region to provide help in times of need.
In this way, this new project was established early. As soon as the railway in Black Moon City was completed, after giving the staff a few days off and rewarding them, the entire railway engineering team immediately moved to the southern region.
Zhou Xu has already considered the laying of railway lines in the southern region.
There is no need to start laying from Black Moon City.
Starting from Black Moon City, although the railways in the two areas can be connected in series to form a larger railway network, for now, it is not necessary.
According to Zhou Xu's idea, let the engineering team go directly to the southern factory area to set up a factory railway station, and start laying the railway from there, all the way from the rainforest area to the southern boundary.
Because there is a waterway to get there from Black Moon City.
Instead of building a railway in a large circle from the grassland area, the shortest route is the waterway. Their cargo ship departs from the Black Moon Port and goes down the river. It only takes two hours to reach the factory port directly.
After the goods are unloaded at the port here, the goods are transferred to the train station also located in the factory area, and can be immediately sent to the southern region.
Even the factory area itself is an area where factories are clustered together, producing a large amount of construction resources for the southern border.
After having this railway plan, around the factory area, Zhou Xu will definitely make further efforts to develop it, add more production factories, and at the same time expand the scale of the factory to increase the output efficiency of the factory here. get taller.
At that time, these resources produced by the factory in the factory area will be sent directly to the train and transported to the construction site as soon as they leave the factory. The main focus is high efficiency.
Leaving this aside, the factory area is connected to Qingshui Lake, and Qingshui Lake is not only connected to Black Moon Port, but also connected to Green Forest Port!
Behind Green Forest Port is Xinnan District!
Once the railway is opened in the factory area, most of the areas in their country will be connected through waterways and railways!
Let the population, troops, and materials in various regions be transferred efficiently!
At this moment, the entire transportation plan surrounding their waterways and land routes for the next ten years or even decades became more and more clear in Zhou Xu's mind.
This feeling of thoughts welling up made Zhou Xu suddenly lose interest in doing other things, and directly devoted himself to the entire route planning.
It wasn’t until the entire route was planned and I felt satisfied that I felt comfortable.
During this period of time, the temperature in Black Moon City has gradually increased, and quietly, it has completely entered the midsummer season.
On this day, in the early hours of the morning, a child's cry broke the tranquility of the Summer Palace. The child in Yalvite's belly fell to the ground that night!
