Chapter 1333: Intercontinental highway

Sheepback is a highly developed capitalist country. It is the world's fourth largest exporter of agricultural products. It is also the world's largest exporter of various minerals, so it is called "a country sitting on a minecart." At the same time, it is also the country with the largest number of sheep stocking and exporting wool in the world, and it is also known as the "country on the back of sheep."
That’s how the name Yangbei Country came from.
The Yangbei country alone occupies a continent, with a small population and typically sparsely populated land. Automobiles have become the main means of transportation for the Yangbei country. The domestic transportation industry is mainly maintained by trucks, especially inland transportation.
A large number of people live in several cities by the sea. Inland, they mainly transport ore outwards. Here, trains are not popular, and most of them are transported by trucks.
At the same time, the trucks here are also different from the outside world.
If the truck doesn’t tow anything, it’s called a bicycle. In China, a full trailer is now popular. The bicycle in the front is added with a cargo bucket to form two sections. There is also a semi-trailer test. Attached to a hanging bucket.
No matter what the form, it is all pediatrics here, and the main force of transportation here is the road train.
The driver’s salary is very high. A driver can transport the most minerals, and of course it can save a lot of money. The truck here has a front head and 3 to 4 12m5 semi-trailers can be connected to the back. Driving on the highway like this is like a road train.
The total weight is often several hundred tons.
In addition to this load, the other is its speed limit.
The highways of Sheep Country are not expressways. The general intercontinental highways are two-way single lanes with a speed limit of 100km/h.
Such a speed limit is not the maximum speed limit, but the minimum speed limit.
Because of this single lane, overtaking is not easy. If the car in front drives slowly, there will soon be a backlog of cars behind. At the same time, it is not easy to stop this kind of high-speed drag racing. In the sparsely populated places in the middle, there are often some animals on the road. Therefore, another characteristic of the road train here is that it is in front of the front of the train. With an extremely huge bumper, you can only hit it directly when you encounter something!
When leaving from the soft sandy beach of the capital and entering the section of highway closest to the capital, Qin Guan and others were already shocked by the sight.
"I think we should let Heribala come over and take a look." Looking at all this, the Xiucai said with emotion: "Our northern heavy truck factory, if only it could make this kind of truck."
Everyone was riding a large pickup truck. At this time, the pickup truck had already left the road, and was parked randomly under the road. When they stopped, a car rumbling over came from behind.
The big pointed nose, at least the engine with more than 500 horsepower inside, the two sturdy exhaust pipes, behind the cab, are jetting into the sky, when passing by them, it seems that the driver is showing off Normally, I stepped on the accelerator hard, so two jets of black smoke sprayed toward the sky one by one, and in the back, one, two, and three cars were hung up.
This is simply the train skin on the road! The scholar secretly thought in his heart that he should let Heribala see it.
Qin Guan shook his head. This type of heavy truck is only used in Sheep's Back Country. After all, they are sparsely populated. They are definitely not good in China. Therefore, even if they are manufactured, the sales volume is very small. Nia, etc., have divided the market long ago. For such a small market, it is not cost-effective to manufacture a truck for export.
Besides, how bold people are and how productive the land is. This kind of load has been popular in China. The heavy truck used is Steyr with a carriage on the back with a total weight of more than two hundred tons. The roads are crushed. As long as you go uphill, it will be as slow as a snail crawling, constantly breaking the wheels, and constantly repairing along the way. This type of transportation is definitely not recommended.
The chief culprit of disrupting the market, the more transportation, the lower the transportation unit price, destroying the road, shortening the life of the car, and there is no other benefit.
Qin Guan didn't take a cold for this. He looked at the cars that followed and said, "Okay, let's get to work, let them know our construction speed!"
With that said, Qin Guan put on a safety helmet.
After relaxing by the beach for so many days, it is time to start working. He shouted to the back: "Everyone must pay attention to safety!"
Pickup trucks are very popular here, and there are many working vehicles. Now, on a trailer behind, an excavator is slowly moving down.
What is the excavator for?
Of course the fiber is laid.
After the base station is set up, how do the base stations communicate? Of course the use of optical fiber.
Before there was optical fiber, telephones were transmitted in communication cables. The thick cables contained many wires. For each group of calls, two of the wires were needed. There were a hundred groups. There are two hundred cables. Therefore, the more the cables are assembled to the switch, the thicker the cables. There are thousands of cables in the switch room, which is definitely a nightmare for engineers.
With optical fiber, everything changed. One thin optical fiber can transmit how many sets of data, and that one thick cable can be solved with one thin optical fiber.
In 1976, the underground pipeline of Bell Labs opened the world's first test line of optical fiber communication system. A fiber optic cable with 144 fibers is used to transmit signals at a rate of 44.736Mbps, and the relay distance is 10km. It uses multi-mode optical fiber, and the light source uses a luminous tube LED with a wavelength of 0.85 micron infrared light.
By 1977, the world's first optical fiber communication system was put into commercial use in Eagle Country, with a rate of 45Mb/s.
Two years later, the country also independently developed the first practical optical fiber, and Zhao Lao was hailed as "the father of Chinese optical fiber."
By 1980, the multimode optical fiber communication system was commercialized, and the rate reached 140Mb/s.
Now, to transmit information between base stations, optical fiber is the fastest and most efficient.
If you want to bury the optical fiber, you need to dig a trench and bury it underground. Fortunately, this section is the softest soil. When the excavator goes down, you can shovel a trench.
At the same time, it doesn't need to be too deep. Just dig down several tens of centimeters, lay down the optical fiber, and then cover with soil. This is enough.
Anyway, there will be no projects here, and at the same time, the construction period is tight.
After Carl discussed with Qin Guan, he couldn't wait to urge Qin Guan to do it quickly. After all, he only has three days left. On Friday, he will compare with Solo’s project. This is absolutely impossible to lose. For this, Carl had to pay a high price.
