Chapter 1097: On the Shinkansen of the Sun Country
"So, Mr. Lu, can you introduce us to the technology of the high-speed rail?" The premise of cooperation has been almost done, and the rest is about the technical issues of the high-speed rail. Is it as good as Lu Ning said? This is still a question for Kazuo Oda.
"Of course, I can give a few simple points. For details, you can analyze them yourself. I know that Mr. Oda's psychology should be very unwilling. After all, in Mr. Oda's opinion, the Shinkansen in your country should be the best in the high-speed railway system, right?" At this point, Lu Ning glanced at Oda Kazuo and said without hesitation.
"Lu Jun, Deputy Oda didn't mean that, he just said..." Haruko Fujiwara wanted to ease the atmosphere of opposition, but he was interrupted by Kazuo Oda. This was the first time that Kazuo Oda interrupted Haruko Fujiwara.
"Yes, Lu Sang, I'm sure I have such doubts. I dare not say anything else, but our country's Shinkansen technology has always been the most advanced in the world. Even in the United States, it is not as good as the United States." When Oda Kazuo said this, he was still very proud. Well, Lu Ning didn't want to refute this.
In fact, Oda Kazuo's words are indeed correct. The Shinkansen of the Sun Kingdom has always been a benchmark for the high-speed railway system. The fact is right in front of you. However, whoever let Lu Ning have a system should know that the system produces must be a high-quality product. Just look at IPHONE's mobile phone technology and new energy technology.
You know, Lu Ning’s high-speed rail technology now is 15 years ahead of Shinkansen, which is a whole level away.
"Okay, Mr. Oda, I admire your innocence, but I have to remind Mr. Oda that there are people outside of people and mountains outside of mountains. I think the high-speed railway system is not monopolized by your country, and your Shinkansen is just a product of the previous era." Lu You retorted without hesitation.
"Lu Sang, I just want to see evidence." Oda Kazuo still couldn't accept Lu Ning's words. However, this time, Oda Kazuo came with the purpose of introducing high-speed rail technology. If Lu Ning's high-speed rail technology reached the domestic level, Oda Kazuo, no, it should be said that Fujiwara Ryuichi would definitely choose Lu Ning. After all, introducing Lu Ning's investment is the ultimate goal of Fujiwara Ryuichi.
"Okay, Mr. Oda, be careful. Before I introduce the high-speed rail project, let's talk about the Shinkansen first. If I remember correctly, the first Shinkansen route was officially opened to traffic on October 1, 1964, a route between Tokyo and Osaka. Today, your best speed is 443 kilometers per hour, which was created in 1996." Lu Ning is also very familiar with Japan's Shinkansen technology. After all, after obtaining the high-speed rail technology, Lu Ning has studied it for a while.
"Yes, Lu Sang has a very good memory and is not wrong at all." Oda Kazuo nodded. What Lu Ning said was exactly the same as what he knew. It seemed that Lu Ning had carefully studied the Shinkansen.
"Of course, the maximum speed I mentioned is actually carried out on the experimental train, so this is just a theoretical speed, and it is just a short straight line acceleration. In fact, your Shinkansen is basically maintained at 240-280 kilometers per hour. This is also the safest speed during the carrying period. Mr. Oda, you won't deny this." Lu Ning's next words made Kazuo Oda a little embarrassed.
I was just proud of the maximum speed of 443 kilometers. In a blink of an eye, this "fastest miracle" was revealed by Lu Ning. Well, Oda Kazuo has to admit that Lu Ning is right. This so-called maximum speed is really closed and has not been obtained by passengers' experiments. Moreover, it is a straight-line acceleration. If it is a short curve or a long curve, it can only be maintained at a speed of 160-180.
"Lu Sang, you should know that we attach importance to safety." Well, Oda Kazuo can only talk about him.
"Mr. Oda, I understand what you mean, and I did not say that Shinkansen is not safe. After all, from the operating route, everyone sees the safety of Shinkansen. However, you are using a standard track of 1435 mm. Mr. Oda, I can only regret to tell you that the standard track of 1435 is already out of date, which is an indisputable fact."
"Wait, Lu Sang, I have different opinions on your words. The standard track of 1435 is used by all countries. I don't think it is a sign of being out of date." Oda Kazuo retorted Lu Ning's words.
"Mr. Oda, don't worry. I said this. Of course, I have my basis. I can tell you very responsibly that the technology of high-speed rail has surpassed the Shinkansen in a comprehensive way. This will not be a mess. Even if you have the most comprehensive powered decentralized trains, three-dimensional crossovers, and automatic train control systems, these are just products from the 1980s."
"Lu Jun, don't keep it aside. After saying this, you still haven't mentioned the technology of the high-speed rail, right?" Haruko Fujiwara was also a little anxious now. Yes, Haruko Fujiwara admitted that what Lu Ning said was indeed correct. The Shinkansen technology in China is indeed still between the 1980s and 1990s, but even so, it has surpassed most developed countries, which is an indisputable fact.
"Okay, Miss Haruko, I can only briefly describe the technology of the high-speed rail. However, I think Mr. Oda must be with the expert team this time. At that time, we welcome to experience our "Face Face” technology."
Lu Ning smiled and sent an invitation to Haruko Fujiwara and Kazuo Oda. In the morning, Lu Ning had already received a call from Elaine Ka. The high-speed rail technology can be used for "actual combat" through experiments by all engineers of the "Face or Face" technology company, which is also Lu Ning's confidence.
"Of course, Lu Jun, we are very willing to visit "Face or Face” technology. This is a great and desirable company. "Face or Face” technology has created too many miracles, and we absolutely agree with this." Haruko Fujiwara also expressed great interest in "Face Face” technology. You should know that whether it is IPHONE technology or new energy technology, Lu Ning puts them in "Face Face” technology. This is also one of the main reasons why the market value of "Face or �
"According to our research and development, the operating speed of the high-speed rail can be maintained at more than 350 kilometers per hour. There is no doubt about this. Please note that what I am talking about is the whole process, not the highest speed." Well, Lu Ning is holding on to this point again. Oda Kazuo's face is not very good. Well, I guess he is embarrassed. Anyway, Lu Ning thinks so.
"Lu Jun, you have to know that whether it is a high-speed rail or a Shinkansen, the most important thing is the issue of comfort. You can't just pursue speed and forget to enjoy it." Haruko Fujiwara proved his Shinkansen in disguise. After all, it is well known that the comfort of the Shinkansen is a kind of enjoyment, which is more comfortable than other travel, or even airplanes.
"Of course, Miss Haruko, this will be what I will talk about later. It can be said that if we only talk about comfort, high-speed rail technology is better than Shinkansen. The reason is that our newly developed track technology is newly built according to higher technical specifications. It has a curve radius of 7,000 meters, a low turning speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and a continuous 350 kilometers per hour. This is unheard of anywhere in the world, including your Shinkansen. This is the origin of high-speed rail comfort. Of course, perhaps this professional statement is not very clear. However, it doesn't matter. When you arrive at the "Face Face" technology headquarters, there will be a demonstration."
Lu Ning's words made Haruko Fujiwara and Ichinoo Oda feel a little unaware of it. They felt that they were indeed much more powerful. Of course, this was not Lu Ning who was fooling them. After all, he had a specialty in his profession, and this must be made. If, at this moment, the Shinkansen expert from the Sun Kingdom brought by Ichinoo Oda would definitely say "available".
"Of course, now, the Shinkansen also has its merits. After all, it has been running safely and without accidents for so long. This is understandable. Of course, according to the scale of the railway network and passenger flow, the high-speed rail network also has the same level of safety. Please rest assured that this is the case." Speaking of the safety factor, Lu Ning really admires the Sun Country. Other countries will more or less have some accidents. The Shinkansen of the Sun Country has always maintained "zero accidents". This alone is commendable.
Of course, high-speed rail technology has other advantages. At least, high-speed rail is a little more spacious than Shinkansen. If you are running, the space in the second-class carriage will be larger, which will give passengers a good comfortable experience.
"Lu Sang, if the high-speed rail technology is really as you said, it is indeed a very amazing progress. I just don't know what the actual cost of such high-speed rail technology will be?" What Kazuo Oda is most concerned about is the price issue. After all, the current Sun State government does not have that much cash flow. Since being cheated by the Americans in the 1980s, Sun State has not breathed until now. Although the government's deficit has improved a lot, it is still difficult to take such a huge project. This is what Kazuo Oda is most worried about.
Oda Kazuo is certainly aware of how expensive the Shinkansen is. Why has the Sun Kingdom not opened a new Shinkansen project for nearly five years? The biggest reason is that the government's burden is too heavy. You must know that now, Sun Kingdom has discovered that the current Shinkansen cannot bear too much transportation pressure, but it is really powerless. This is also why Fujiwara Ryuki heard about the high-speed rail technology proposed by Lu Ning, one of the reasons why this high-speed rail project is so urgent. At least, this high-speed rail project is urgently needed by Sun Kingdom. Of course, the premise is still appropriate.
"Mr. Oda, you are not an amateur. As the deputy chief of finance, you should know that the specifications of railways, the prices of unblocked tracks and staggered tracks will exceed 30%, and there is also the proportion of bridges and tunnels. The higher the proportion of bridges and tunnels, the higher the cost of construction. This depends on geological conditions. Of course, there is also the so-called cost of land acquisition and demolition. Generally, the more developed the economy and the more intensive the construction, the higher the cost of land acquisition and demolition. Therefore, I have always complained, Mr. Oda, I cannot give you the most specific price." Lu Ning's words are to be honest. Without a reference, this cannot give the most correct answer.
"Okay, Lu Sang, I know what you said, then, if the so-called land acquisition and demolition cost is removed and the average bridge and tunnel ratio is experienced, how much will this cost be?" Oda Kazuo still needs an approximate price, otherwise Oda Kazuo would not be able to pay the job.
Lu Ning thought for a long time: "Okay, Mr. Oda, you must know that the Sun Kingdom is a country with frequent earthquakes. We need to consider this factor, so this cost will definitely increase. Of course, if you just said, I personally estimate that the cost per kilometer should be controlled at around 10 million US dollars. Of course, everything needs to be conducted on-site inspection by our technicians to get the most correct number." As soon as Lu Ning finished speaking, Kazuo Oda stood up.
"Lu Sang, can you confirm this price?" Oda Ichino couldn't sit still. It was not because the price was too expensive, but it was really much cheaper than the Shinkansen. Previously, the Ministry of Finance of the Sun Kingdom received a report submitted by the Engineering Department, which was quoted for the new route of Shinkansen. Among them, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' quotation should be the cheapest, but it costs 18 million US dollars per kilometer. Moreover, this price will only rise and will not fall. Therefore, when I heard the price given by Lu Ning, Oda Ichino was really excited and could not control himself.
You should know that this price is equivalent to one-third of the price being sold. Well, what kind of mentality would it be if Oda Kazuo knew that Lu Ning's estimated price would be more than 50% higher than his actual price.
Lu Ning was also a little depressed. Damn, is my quote cheaper? I had known it before, and I would have reported some more. Of course, there was no chance. Well, when the price was really estimated, I would just report it.
