The Chinese construction teams fighting on the Kra Canal are not only huge in scale, but also 700,000 people. This is rare in the world. That is, China's manpower can gather such a large construction team in a short time. Don't underestimate them. They are not temporarily pieced together. For example, the method of pulling men out and integrating them into a military. These have at least three years of work experience and are extremely rich in experience. It took China 8 years to spread the entire China with dense railways and highways, and many huge cities, all built by construction teams. China's current population in the construction industry is even several times higher than the army. From tens of millions or even tens of millions of workers, other businesses are selected from the best, most of which have the experience of the Kiel Canal or other canals.

The diversion of the Kiel Canal and North-South Water to China on the excavation of large canals gave the Chinese construction team enough experience. At least 20,000 excavators and 30,000 bulldozers were fighting on this huge construction site, and at least 50,000 trucks were transported day and night from the construction site. 1.1 billion cubic cubic meters of earth will be used nearby to reclaim the sea, creating a nearly 150 square kilometers area to the sea, straightening some rugged and narrow bays, and filling some low-lying places.

The future Kara Canal area will be a military port in the direction of the Indian Ocean. As long as it protects the sea outlet of the Kara Canal to prevent attacks, it will be a large port that cannot reach the level of Bangkok, but it also requires a certain temporary berth and safe haven. After all, when a typhoon arrives, the canal is impossible to pass. Some ships that have arrived near the canal can enter the port nearby, and some particularly close must be parked in the entrance area.

The most important thing to consider is the difficulty of mining. After all, the canal must be dug out before it can play a role. As for the location of the entrance and exit, whether it is suitable for a port is suitable, there is not much consideration. After all, this is not very important. However, the designer has comprehensively considered it and proposed a creative plan to build fields in the sea and build seaports manually. Although the investment is huge, this directly saves half of the cost in throwing and digging waste. After all, it can be used in two directions, one is the Indian Ocean and the other is the Pacific Ocean. The average 50-75 square kilometers of seaports is enough to make this area more meet the needs of the port. Of course, it is just the most ordinary port.

A world-class deep-water port is hard to come by. In the whole world, there is only a few natural ports like this. It is enough to turn a place that is not suitable as a port into an area that can be parked with a cargo ship less than 50,000 tons and has the function of a safe haven. The real throughput is in Thailand. The construction difficulty and investment of such a port are reduced by at least half. Such supporting facilities directly combine the funds for processing waste with the funds for building fields in the sea to reduce the cost of building fields in the sea to 70%. It does not actually speed up the construction of the Kara Canal, but increases the added value.

The emergence of machinery has changed the process of human engineering. A large excavator can complete the earthwork every day at least 500. If it is not a fixed shape and the rock at the bottom is mined, it may be possible to completely complete the earthwork of the canal in less than 2 months. This is the most difficult part of the canal excavation. On the contrary, the subsequent ship lock and the bottom are hardened. This is not difficult. At most, it is only the relationship between how many people and how many working faces.

Modern tools provide much more work efficiency than manpower. Not to mention, China has invested 700,000 manpower. Even ship locks, necessary equipment, and other aspects, it is estimated that a complete Kara Canal that attracts the attention of the world will appear in East Asia, contributing to China's contact with the Middle East and even Germany, saving 1,200 kilometers. On average, the materials transported to the Middle East will save 3 days, and the efficiency will increase a lot. After all, the ships will take two trips.

Since the start of construction, the construction of the Kra Canal has been started for 40 days. The completed construction volume is equivalent to about 3 months above the plan, which means that in time, it has saved about one and a half months. However, similar savings are difficult to see. In fact, after 30 days, the explosives have basically withdrawn from the stage and replaced by 10,000 hydraulic crushers. Such a machine can complete 300 square meters of gravel work in one day. In 20 days, the canal can be pushed down by 1 meter from about 14 meters to 16.5 meters, which takes at least 40 days. This is also the final battle and the most difficult part of the canal construction.

When the rock crusher advances below, in the area where the rock crusher works, the others begin to clean up the accumulated earth on both sides. Basically, in 3 months, the entire dam will form a prototype excavation stage. Then, about 1 meter of the bottom is laid, and a series of ship locks and dams. Under industrialization, excavation is the most laborious. On the contrary, the others, under the premise of a large number of prefabricated parts and the coordinated combination of the gap, are actually very fast. Due to the controllable drop, there are not many levels of ship locks. With a little control, the entire canal can be penetrated and the traffic conditions are better than Suez and Panama. Some are similar to the Kiel Canal. The speed of the passage will be much faster than that of Panama and Suez Canal. Ships to a certain extent can even be operated at the cruise speed, which is better than that of the Suez Canal.

This is a favorable place. After all, the traffic is convenient and the speed is fast, which also represents an improvement in efficiency. It is expected that the traffic volume will be around 80,000 ships per year, and the average is only more than 200 ships per day. However, it is not possible to pass every day in a year. Putting aside some force majeure typhoons, as well as high sea weather, and sometimes more, sometimes less, the limit of the daily pass must be guaranteed to be around 700 to 1,000 ships, which puts higher requirements on the canal. Obviously, China has exceeded this standard in the design of the Kara Canal. Under the premise of standard tonnage merchant ships, the limit of the number of passes per day can reach 1,800 ships.

In order to ensure this, I have noticed it during the design and reflected it on the canal. Some difficult projects have not been turned around, but have faced difficulties. The cost is quite large. Fortunately, almost all of them have to be solved. As long as I persist, it is inevitable to complete them in advance.

After finding Neilong Port, most of the designers have gone back, and even the chiefs who stayed here have gone back. Next, it is just a simple question. At most, it is to cooperate with the coordinator to determine the segmented process, so that each section canal will work continuously to ensure the integrity of the entire canal construction.

A project that will have a decisive effect on Central and Southern Province is under construction in Central and Southern Province, and the focus of the entire China is also here. All plans, whether petrochemical, steel, or even transportation, are looking at the Kara Canal. The Kara Canal has accelerated its speed, and these projects are the same. With huge investment, the economic indicators of Central and Southern Province seem to have suddenly risen from the level of balanced development in this month, and the amplitude is getting higher and higher. The huge investment has also turned the entire Central and Southern Province into a large construction site.

On the mainland, the easiest thing to contact should be the railway. If there is a railway that runs through the world at this time, there will be quite a lot of things that can be transported. The construction of the Kara Canal, because it is a physical object in China, and in the unattended Central and Southern Province, has only caused a huge response in China, but has not affected the world situation. At this critical moment, Germany sent an ambassador to make a request to China to promote the construction of the Asian continental bridge with China, and to directly connect with China on land to strengthen the connection between the two sides.

Such a proposal has been mentioned before, and even after Germany occupied Baku, it rose to its extreme, because the distance between Baku and the Urals currently occupied by China does not seem to be far, just one or two thousand kilometers, and it seems that if Germany works harder, it can connect. How could Germany even use the land as a temptation? It has repeatedly stated that if the land occupied by China is unconditionally recognized and supported China in obtaining these lands in Central Asia.

No matter what Germany says, China will not obey. Even without the Kara Canal, this is the case. Not to mention, the Kara Canal is now opening in full swing, with tens of billions of funds invested from the central and local governments. If the construction of the Eurasian Railway is really started, the key project will be directly affected.

Yang Yuanzhao knew very well what Central Asia looked like. This was also a place that China had not entered after he expanded China. Whether it was Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, or Iran, these countries located between China and the Middle East were not fuel-efficient lamps. Others didn’t know that Yang Yuanzhao knew that Afghanistan had lost all the losses and had the most powerful armored torrent in the world. Iran made the United States lose face. These huge, religious, rugged and changeable places, and easy to engage in guerrilla warfare, are of course impossible to enter easily. They are not the result of each battle, but the pit, and the pit that kills people without compensation.

What can I do if I really take these places? They have resources. How can I compare with Australia and Siberia? Iran's oil is still OK in this era. Compared with the Middle East in the future, it is impossible to compare with the tasteless chicken ribs. It is just a few bones with a little oil star. How can China, which is now chewy and chewy, be able to see it (to be continued.)
