Chapter 1025: An Epoch-Making Means of Transportation
As early as early March, Xinguo Construction Company, funded by Rulka Automobile Company, carried out maglev modification construction on the two-way six-lane road from the airport through the city center to the terminal. Using a construction vehicle with a pile driver on the front, the prismatic magnetic generating device is driven under the road, and then cement is poured again and the road asphalt is paved.
Almost in the same month, Rulka Automobile Company launched the maglev model of a new generation of pure electric vehicles. While maintaining the original wheel structure, a maglev drive was installed on the chassis, which can leave the ground and enter the maglev track on special sections.
After exchanging opinions with Rulka Automobile Company, the New Zealand Transport Bureau issued the corresponding "Interim Regulations on Maglev Traffic Management", tentatively demarcating the area between 4.5 meters and 20 meters above the highway as a special area for maglev vehicles, and prohibiting other Aircraft traffic. And five tracks with different heights are demarcated according to different vehicle speeds.
The first track is a buffer track with a height of five meters and a speed limit of less than ten kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to the speed of an ordinary motor vehicle in first gear.
The speed of 60 kilometers per hour is limited to a track with a height of eight meters, the speed of 80 kilometers per hour is limited to a track with a height of 11 meters, and the speed of 100 kilometers per hour is the maximum speed of manual driving, which is in the form of a track with a height of 14 meters. As for the 17-meter-high track, it is an automatic cruising track, and the vehicle speed is fixed at 200 kilometers per hour.
Maglev cars will be faster and safer than conventional cars. When a vehicle is driving in a lane with a fixed height, cars on the same level are moving at the same speed, so there is no problem of rear-end collision. After entering the top track, the maglev car that reaches the highest speed will activate the automatic cruise mode, with the speed fixed at 150 kilometers per hour. After setting the route, the AI will complete the driving task instead of the driver.
As for detailed adjustments to overpasses, acceleration, parking, traffic lights, track changes, driver's licenses, etc., there are also relevant provisions in this new interim traffic management regulation. With a total length of 100,000 words, it basically takes into account all the problems that may be encountered.
At this point, New China's transportation has entered the era of three-dimensional transportation.
From now on, Koro City will gradually complete the maglev rail transformation of every road in the city. At that time, as long as you drive a maglev car, you can enjoy the speed of the highway even in the city. Even if the population density is doubled, there is no need to worry about traffic jams.
If it will take some time for Koro City to popularize maglev vehicles, Penglai City has already fully promoted this technology. As early as the beginning of Penglai City's construction, the maglev track was embedded under the urban traffic arteries. With the promulgation of the "Interim Regulations on Maglev Traffic Management" and the launch of the Rulka EML car series, this novel aircraft has become popular in this maritime city.
However, this epoch-making vehicle has not received the attention it deserves from the international community.
The reason why this happens is,
Mainly because the concept of maglev cars has been hyped for many years.
What's even more unfortunate is that the listing of Rulka EML happened to coincide with the two major "private military contractors" fighting in Ukraine. Starlink Trading even used outer space weapons and orbital airborne troops as two major killers. This epoch-making technology did not receive the response it deserved because it unceremoniously stole Rulka Automobile Company's headlines and the attention of the international community.
However, judging from the number of clicks on the videos taken by foreign tourists in Koro and Penglai cities on major video websites, people are still quite interested in this kind of vehicle that can fly on the highway. Known as a country on wheels, many Americans even went to the Rulka pure electric vehicle store after returning home and kept asking the shop owner in the lobby when they would be able to introduce the latest Rulka EML. The shop owner who asked was also Confused.
They obviously didn't understand that this kind of maglev car can only run on special roads. Before introducing maglev cars, maglev roads must first be introduced, and this is not something that a certain company can decide. Only the national transportation department can make the decision.
However, the first person to come to our door was not the United States across the ocean, but China, which is very close at hand.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, my surname is Zhou and my given name is Yuantang. This is Guo Maolin, General Manager Guo..."
"Hello, Mr. Jiang." Manager Guo stretched out his hand with a smile and shook it with Jiang Chen enthusiastically, "I have admired Mr. Jiang's name for a long time, and now that I have seen him, he is indeed extraordinary. He is really a role model for young people!"
"Manager Guo, thank you for the award." Jiang Chen bowed his hand humbly, but he was still very happy.
After some polite greetings, Jiang Chen invited the two of them to sit down. The office secretary poured tea for the three of them, then left the office and gently closed the door. Perhaps Minister Zhou knew the nature of overseas Chinese like Jiang Chen, so he took a sip of tea and went straight to the topic without engaging in official talk with him.
"To tell you the truth, after seeing the maglev cars in Koro City and Penglai City, my senses were greatly shocked! Originally, these good things could only appear in film and television works, but I didn't expect that they would all be used by you. We got them all one by one." At this point, Minister Zhou smiled kindly and said, "I'll get straight to the point and ask, does Mr. Jiang have any interest in developing the Chinese market?"
"Does Minister Zhou want to introduce maglev cars?"
"Exactly." Minister Zhou nodded seriously and said with a smile, "This kind of maglev car is simply a good thing tailor-made for big cities like Shangjing and Wanghai! If the car can really float in the sky, there will be no safety issues To solve the problem, we don’t need to impose restrictions on license plates, numbers, and travel to quench our thirst.”
"I understand what you mean. Maglev cars are indeed very helpful in alleviating traffic pressure. But you may not understand that our maglev cars can only drive on specific pairs of roads. The introduction of cars is actually the second priority. It's an introduction road." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"This... is it difficult to introduce a road?"
"The construction is not difficult, but it is not cheap either." Jiang Chen said straightforwardly, "And the most important thing is the policy aspect. If there are no traffic regulations related to maglev cars, we would not dare to export such cars casually, right? We are a formal enterprise and cannot sell gray products.”
"Hahaha, Mr. Jiang is joking. Money is not an issue. As for policies, since I'm here, do I still have to worry about policy issues?" Minister Zhou laughed and said, putting down the teacup in his hand, "I'm coming this time. , I’m just here to discuss this issue of traffic regulations. I have to learn more from you on this, Mr. Jiang, won’t you mind?”
"Of course I won't mind. I will ask my secretary to print out a copy of the temporary regulations on maglev vehicles in New Zealand and send it to you soon." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Thank you very much! By the way, this matter is mainly for you to discuss. I, a person from the Yamen, will not get involved in business matters. Don't worry about policy matters. The central government has already discussed this matter. Yes, there is no problem. If this matter is discussed, it will be a good thing that will benefit the country and the people. I would like to thank Mr. Jiang on behalf of the broad masses of the people!" After saying that, Minister Zhou looked at Guo Qianqian and naturally said The topic was handed over to him, "Xiao Guo, would you like to discuss it with Mr. Jiang?" (To be continued.)
