Reborn Resource Tycoon

What stopped in front of him was an old-fashioned Soviet car. In [-], even in Beijing, the number of cars was vastly different from that of later generations.Especially at this time, the number of private cars is almost non-existent, and those who can use cars are all the heads of the government or companies. "Uncle Su, it seems that your family is still an official?" After getting into the car, Fang Mingyuan asked Su Aijun in surprise.

"This is my father's honor, and yours as well." Su Aijun turned around from the passenger seat, looked at Fang Mingyuan with a smile and said.After the detailed conversation on the train, Su Aijun subconsciously regarded Fang Mingyuan as someone who could talk to him on an equal footing.

"What do you mean by that? What does it mean to be honored by your father, but also to be honored by me?" Fang Mingyuan asked puzzled.How could this involve Su Aijun's father again.

"Actually, it is my father who wants to see you today. He works in the Ministry of Railways and is very interested in the train speed increase you mentioned. So, I want to talk to you. This is my father's official car. Usually I can't even sit, so it's my father's honor, and your honor." Su Aijun explained with a smile.

"Your father wants to see me?" Fang Mingyuan was even more surprised.The capital city in [-] was no different than later generations, and those who could have official vehicles were not to be underestimated.Unexpectedly, when I casually talked nonsense with people on the train, I actually got involved with the officials of the Ministry of Railways.This plot is too bloody.How can it be such a coincidence?

Bai Lin was even more taken aback. Being in the capital, he naturally understood the meaning of this invitation better than Fang Mingyuan.Although, I also heard from Bai Ping and the elders of the Fang family that Fang Mingyuan stunned a teacher from Fengyuan Jiaotong University on the train. At that time, everyone listened to it as a joke. What Yuan said must be reasonable, otherwise, how could it be possible for the senior officials of the Ministry of Railways to want to see him, a seven-year-old doll?

Fang Mingyuan's thoughts turned, this is a rare good opportunity, didn't he worry about the lack of help in the system a while ago?The helping hand jumped out by itself!Although this grade is a bit too high, it will definitely not be used for a while, but as long as we have a good relationship with the Su family, it will be useful one day in the future.The Ministry of Railways, Boss Tie, this is an incomparable behemoth in the last life.What's more, what is there to be afraid of, even if he said something wrong, he still has the nerve to be serious with his seven-year-old self?Thinking of this, Fang Mingyuan had a bottom line in his heart - the risk is small, but the profit is big, this business can be done!

At this time, Su Aijun also admired secretly in his heart, it is really rare for this little guy to be so calm after hearing such news.But his uncle seemed a little nervous.

Soon, the car drove into the family compound of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, and stopped at the door of Su's house.The old lady Su came to open the door upon hearing the sound, and she saw Fang Mingyuan at first sight. The child was pretty and energetic, so she couldn't help but like it a little more.

"Mom, this is Fang Mingyuan, and his uncle, Comrade Bai Lin. Comrade Bai Lin, Xiao Mingyuan, this is my mother." Su Aijun introduced concisely.

"Hello, Grandma Su!" Fang Mingyuan said with a sweet mouth, "I came here in a hurry today, and I didn't bring a gift for grandma. It's really rude! But it's Uncle Su's fault, and he didn't say hello in advance!" Originally, Fang Mingyuan thought I bought something on the road, after all, it’s not very nice to come to the door empty-handed.But the sudden car completely made Fang Mingyuan forget about it.He didn't react until he got off the car.But there is nowhere to buy it.

Mrs. Su smiled kindly and said: "It's okay, you don't need to bring any gifts, just come here. Come in quickly." Regarding this child, she has listened to her husband and son talking about this child for the past few days. It's different from normal kids.Looks like a little grown-up.

After letting Fang Mingyuan and Bai Lin sit down in the living room, Mrs. Su brought them tea, and Su Aijun went upstairs to the study to find Su Huandong.

"Comrade Bai Lin, where do you work?" Mrs. Su asked with a smile.Seeing that Bai Lin seemed a little nervous, the old lady purposely chatted with him a few more words.

"Ah?" Bai Lin, who was looking at the furnishings in the living room, was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "Ah... I work in the China National Book Import and Export Corporation, one of the sub-department." Along with the conversation, Bai Lin also gradually let go.

"Mingyuan, come up!" Su Aijun stuck his head out from the stairs and said.

Fang Mingyuan looked at Bai Lin, it was outside, the majesty of the elders had to be noticed.Bai Lin nodded, and Fang Mingyuan walked over.

Su Aijun arranged Fang Mingyuan in the small living room on the second floor, where there were a row of sofas and a lot of old-fashioned furniture.The house can only be said to be relatively spacious, but it is not luxurious.

Looking around curiously, the door opened again, and an old man about 55 or [-] years old walked in. He was not short, with short black and white hair. From the appearance, he was somewhat similar to Su Aijun. .

"Hello, Grandpa Su!" Fang Mingyuan jumped off the sofa and shouted politely.

Su Huandong looked at Fang Mingyuan. Although he said that the clothes were very simple, the child looked very cute. Psychologically, this gave him a little more affection. "Sit down, don't be so restrained, is there anything you want to eat or drink? Aijun, go get a bottle of soda."

The three of them chatted for a while, and Su Huandong asked about Fang Mingyuan's study and family situation, and what they had seen and heard since they came to the capital.Only then slowly did the topic turn to the railway.The more he talked about this, the more surprised Su Huandong became. Although Fang Mingyuan's words were still childish, it could be seen that he had many opinions on the matter of railway speeding up.And these opinions, although they may sound unreasonable at first glance, or irrelevant, but after careful consideration, they are reasonable.

"Xiao Mingyuan, do you think that before the train speeds up, we should do a good job of changing railway level crossings to overpasses?" Su Huandong pondered for a moment and said, "Although in the long run, I think what you said is very reasonable. It is also the trend of the times. But judging from the recent stage, it may not be easy to approve this sum of money. And I don't think that, judging from the current situation, it is necessary to carry out this work immediately. Our country is still very poor. Every money must be spent wisely!"

"Grandpa Su, I once saw a term in a book called 'path dependence', which is similar to 'inertia' in physics, that is to say, once you choose to enter a certain path, whether it is good or not The bad ones can be dependent on this path. For example, the standard distance between two railroad tracks in the United States is [-] feet. This is a very strange standard. Do you know where it came from? "Fang Mingyuan asked mischievously. "This is the British railway standard, because the American railways were first designed and built by the British." Su Huandong is not troubled by this problem. He has accumulated a lot of professional knowledge after decades of ups and downs in the Ministry of Railways.

"Then, Grandpa Su, why do the British use this standard?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

Su Huandong frowned, pondered for a moment and said uncertainly: "I remember that this standard is also the British tramway standard. It seems that in the UK, trams appeared earlier than railways!"

"Grandpa Su is wise!" Fang Mingyuan said with a thumbs up, "As expected, it belongs to the Ministry of Railways, as you all know." It turns out that the British railway was designed by the person who built the tramway, and this [-] feet is exactly Standard used by trams.

"Then where did the standard for the tram track come from?" Fang Mingyuan continued to ask.

Su Huandong couldn't help but get stuck, he really didn't know about this.It is not easy to know and remember the gauge distance between the rails. Who would have thought about why this standard was stipulated in the first place.

Only then did Fang Mingyuan uncover the mystery.It turns out that the people who first built trams used to build carriages, so they used the wheel width of the carriage as a standard.Then, a new question can't help but arise, why does the carriage use this size as the standard for wheel distance?For if the carriages of that time had been of any other track, the wheels of the carriage would soon be broken on the old English roads.why?For the width of the ruts on these roads is four and a half feet.Then a new question arises, where do these tracks come from?The answer was determined by the ancient Romans, and [-] feet was the wheelbase width of a Roman chariot.If anyone drives on these roads with a different wheel width, his wheels won't last very long.

"Then why did the Romans adopt this standard as the wheelbase width of chariots?" Su Huandong couldn't help asking.Although I don't know the truth of this statement, but logically speaking, it is quite reasonable.It's not like a child made it up by himself.

"The reason is very simple, because this is the average width of the breasts of two chariot horses!" Fang Mingyuan's answer was beyond Su Huandong's expectation.But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

"So, Grandpa Su, the design of the most advanced transportation system in the world today was determined by the maximum width of two horses 2000 years ago. This is path dependence. It seems a little paradoxical and humorous, but it is true "Fang Mingyuan said solemnly, "Railway level crossings are changed to overpasses. If you, the creator of the railway speed-up plan, don't pay enough attention to it, or even ignore it, then others will be even less concerned. Pay attention. When the speed of the train increases to [-] kilometers, [-] kilometers or even [-] kilometers in the future, these crossings will be a trap for killing people. If you think about changing it at that time, the price you will pay will be too great!" In the previous life Every year, there are innumerable railway accidents because of crossing congestion, casualties occur from time to time especially, and the annual losses caused by this are as high as hundreds of millions.Now that he has such a rare opportunity, Fang Mingyuan naturally wants to vaccinate Su Huandong in advance. If he can pay enough attention to this matter, then those tragedies in future generations will be less likely to happen.

Su Huandong leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and meditated, he had to admit that what the little guy said made sense...
