"Moreover, even if there is a major breakthrough in maglev within a few years, the cost will be much higher than that of wheel-track high-speed rail. How to calculate this? Do we need to spend more money to do this? Even if the speed of maglev is faster It’s faster and produces higher economic benefits, but the cost is too high!”
Liang Jiangtao took advantage of the situation and took out the research report that the Transportation Department of Shuimu University had put great efforts into.
The cost is clear at a glance.
"It makes no sense to say these costs. We must look at the problem from a development perspective! Now it seems that the cost of magnetic levitation is high, but it will not matter in the future. Thirty years ago, our electronic computers may have seemed like myths, but now? Ordinary people's homes We can all afford it!" Yang Jie waved her hand and seemed unconcerned.
Liang Jiangtao sneered in his heart, he was too optimistic.
"High-speed rail is not only built in Beijing and Shanghai, but will be rolled out across the country in the future. Cost is a crucial factor!"
"So, now is not the time to practice. We have to wait and demonstrate again!" Yang Jie said.
The situation was deadlocked again, as if it was back to the starting point.
Neither of them could convince the other.
The audience at the venue were also overwhelmed and applauded in their hearts, just like watching a fierce debate.
Yang Jie took the lead in launching a new round of "offensive": "Please answer me, since the wheel-track high-speed rail is so good, why are only a few countries in the world building it? According to you, it seems that as long as we build high-speed rail, we will soar into the sky. Is this all wishful thinking on your part?”
"What's honey to you is arsenic to others! Although high-speed rail is good, not all countries have the ability to build it, and not all countries are suitable for building it! It all has something to do with geographical conditions, national systems, financial conditions, social conditions, and cultural traditions! For example, the United States does not have a dense railway network in history. In addition, aviation and highways are very developed, and the federal system determines that there is no strong central government. These factors determine that it is not suitable for building high-speed rail. On the other hand, It’s so suitable for us! The high-speed rail is like tailor-made for us! It’s more suitable than Europe and Japan! If we can build high-speed rail, the value we get will be higher than that of these developed countries! Even in the process of large-scale construction , we will obtain a lot of independent technologies, so that the wheel-track high-speed rail can achieve further development! Not only the high-speed rail will achieve China, but China will also achieve the high-speed rail! Let this way of awakening shine with new and greater brilliance! I think this It’s a way of looking at problems from a development perspective.”
Yang Jie was stunned. What a sharp-tongued young man. He could speak so well. He responded completely based on his arguments, and every sentence was on point.
Before he had time to think about it, Liang Jiangtao's "attack" came again.
"Director Yang, please tell me, when will maglev become mature? When will it be commercially available? When will it be rolled out across the country to solve our urgent need for transportation capacity? Is it true that the water far away cannot save the water nearby?"
This sentence is a heart-breaking question.
No matter how good the magnetic levitation is, it is still a mirror image.
This is currently its biggest disadvantage compared with wheel-rail high-speed rail.
After all, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future.
Yang Jie smiled, took out a report, and said: "You don't have to ask, I have to say it. Many people think that the maglev train is not yet mature, but in fact it is infinitely closer to maturity! You can know it by looking at the trial operation line. What's more, , and this latest report in my hand!”
"This report was led by Sir Sir Wilder, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, and took three years to complete. It describes in detail the future development prospects of magnetic levitation technology. The conclusion is: there will be a major breakthrough within five years, and within ten years there will be Completely mature! Once this goal is achieved, the construction cost will drop significantly, not much more expensive than your current wheel-track high-speed rail!" Yang Jie said confidently.
Sir Edward Wilder was his mentor and an international authority in the field of transportation.
The topics he took on were very valuable and persuasive.
As soon as this report came out, it was like a bombshell was dropped.
Everyone in the house was shocked!
The experts present looked surprised when they heard Sir Wilder's name, and nodded solemnly. They all knew how heavy the weight was.
Some things seem to need to be re-evaluated.
If magnetic levitation technology can achieve such a big breakthrough in just ten years and the price is so low, it will undoubtedly be a very valuable option.
Well worth the wait!
Report?
Liang Jiangtao frowned.
There will be a breakthrough in five years and maturity in ten years?
If he was not a reborn person, he might not believe it.
But this never happened in the future!
Sometimes, "knowing" is far more important than wisdom and ability.
If this is the case, it means that this report is very problematic.
At least it's not good enough.
We came to a conclusion that is very different from the future reality!
But such a solemn report was produced by Wilder's team, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, and it took so long. It cannot be explained simply by insufficient standards.
If it’s not a matter of level, then it’s quite telling...
But for a while, Liang Jiangtao was unable to interpret more, and there was no way to say that this report was unreasonable.
However, for the leaders and experts on site, this report is very important.
Enough to have a strong impact on the final vote!
The situation suddenly became more critical.
what to do?
He didn't have an advantage in the first place, but now he's even more passive.
Liang Jiangtao is faced with his original problem again. Although he knows what it will be like in the next twenty years, even if the butterfly effect occurs, there will be no major deviation.
But he has no way to convince others!
He couldn't find an absolute reason to support it!
Knowing is higher than wisdom!
"Not good! The balance has been broken!" Wu Ning said.
Grand Duke Zuo looked grave: "I didn't expect that the other party had a trump card!"
Bai Zhining covered her mouth, she really didn't want to see this ending.
Could it be said that the efforts of these few months are destined to be in vain?
Although Liang Jiangtao has too many questions, the meeting will continue.
“Vote now!”
Zhao Wenlong announced loudly.
Sometimes, choice is a gamble.
This is true for a person, and it is true for a country.
But it had to be done.
Everyone looked solemn and prepared to perform their sacred duties.
Although Liang Jiangtao was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
He looked at Yang Jie and saw that Yang Jie's face was expressionless.
In fact, there is no personal conflict of interest between the two people, or even between the two factions, there is just a difference in judgment about the future!
They are all dedicated to the public good.
Under this general principle, each shows his or her own special powers.
