Chapter 235 Comparison?

The high-speed rail line project from Los Angeles to San Francisco started quickly. Compared with other projects in Laos and the United States, this time they are really amazingly efficient.

Since exploration and design work had been carried out in the early stage, but construction had not started due to issues such as investment, equity, etc., therefore, after the public announcement of the launch of the project, in less than three days, various construction machinery began to enter the site.

, a huge construction team is also ready to go.

Judging from the aerial footage specially arranged by the United States, this time they invested heavily and the team was professional. They even agreed on the clothing of all workers when they set off.

At first glance, the neat team, the tall and straight work uniforms, and the various tools hanging on the workers looked like a well-trained army.

Moreover, this project will be reported in an uninterrupted live broadcast.

According to the United States, they will complete the main construction of the entire high-speed railway within six years, and complete the construction of the first 30-kilometer demonstration line within three months.

600 kilometers, 6 years.

This kind of speed can be regarded as amazing no matter which country it is placed in.

Even when Chen Nian saw this plan, the first thought that came to his mind was:

Is he bragging?

After all, when the UK built a 530-kilometer high-speed railway, the construction period was delayed for more than 20 years.

After our high-speed rail technology was fully mature and the engineering construction process was extremely complete, it took us a full five years to build a 300-kilometer high-speed rail.

Now, at this point in time in 2006, you told me that it would only take you 6 years to cover 600 kilometers?

No one will believe it

Sitting in Li Xiang's room, Chen Nian looked at the text that was constantly refreshing on the computer screen with some curiosity, and asked:

"So this is your daily job? Checking out posts on the website every day?"

Li Xiang almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. He put down the mouse in his hand and answered:

"I would be exhausted if I really did this. Nowadays, it's basically keyword searches, but the problem is, to search for keywords, you have to filter out the keywords first."

"So, the preparatory work must be done well."

"For example, what are the keywords in the posts we just looked at?"

Chen Nian frowned and thought for a moment before replying:

"Standardization?"

"clever!"

Li Xiang glanced at Chen Nian approvingly, and then continued:

“So, that’s what a lot of what we call trolls are doing on the Internet.”

"They will seize on the hot words in a hot event and continue to publish the same type of posts in various forums to create public opinion."

"Some of this behavior is spontaneous, and some is organized. It is difficult to distinguish."

"However, their impact is the same."

As he said that, Li Xiang entered the keyword "standardization" into the computer. After a short search, a lot of results popped up on the screen.

Chen Nian took a closer look, and sure enough, most of them were the same as what Li Xiang said, and the output was homogeneous content.

“Looking at America’s infrastructure capabilities from the Los Angeles-San Francisco Railway: the degree of standardization may exceed China’s in fifty years!”

"This is called standards! When can we achieve standardized construction?"

"Standardization is an unspeakable pain for domestic engineering projects."

"Strict discipline is like an army! Do we dare to talk about standardization in front of the United States?"

Although the titles of the posts are not the same one after another, you can easily find after clicking in that they all follow the same path in terms of opinions, arguments, and argumentation process.

It's like being taught by a master.

Seeing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"Isn't it good for this generation of public intellectuals? It only has this little attack power?"

According to Chen Nian's idea, if the United States launches such a bold and iconic project, the public should at least praise its economic resilience and the American nation's indomitable spirit, and then attack the domestic market economic environment, humanities

Environment or something.

Is this the result?

After hearing his words, Li Xiang asked curiously:

"Then what do you think it should contain?"

Chen Nian thought for a moment and replied:

"If I was asked to write it, I would have to write a title like 'Though accumulated efforts, the United States once again slaps the whole world in the face'."

"You see, everyone thought they would be in trouble after the financial crisis. But not only did they survive, they also launched a big project."

"What kind of cool plot is this? This is what people like to watch most."

".You quite understand that this is really the case."

Li Xiang deleted the keyword "standardized" and then entered the keyword "slap in the face". After a while, a large number of posts came out.

"Shame on you! You are arrogantly advocating the theory of financial destruction of the country, and the United States slaps you in the face."

"Are you a slap in the face? Where is the poster who said that the United States will die this time? Is it you who will die?"

"What a slap in the face! A financial crisis clearly exposed China's villain mentality!"

"A slap in the face! If you don't seek to strengthen yourself, you only want others to be weak. The result is self-evident!"

After looking at it for a while, Chen Nian finally recognized the ability of these public intellectuals to make trouble.

"It's really good. Is there anything else besides these?"

"There are too many."

Li Xiang replied without hesitation.

"But there's no point in looking at these things."

"What we have to do is to identify those with obvious malicious tendencies, and then just do what we need to do."

"As for the really stupid ones, let them go."

"I understand, the law can't control the real scoundrel?"

".That's pretty much what it means."

Hearing this answer, Chen Nian shook his head and said helplessly:

"It seems that the road to popularizing knowledge is still long."

"No, it shouldn't be said that it is a road to popularizing knowledge. It should be said that the road to cognitive education is still very long."

"Now, our people will listen to whoever has the biggest fist, and believe whoever has the loudest voice. This is not good in the long run, even if we can one day occupy a dominant position on the issue of 'right to speak'

, and cannot truly cultivate the kind of 'national self-confidence' that can withstand the test."

"That's right. It's not wrong at all."

Li Xiang nodded in agreement again.

"Chen Nian, I find that this world is really strange. You are obviously a technical person, but you also know a lot about this set of things."

"I can honestly say that he is no weaker than me - and I should be considered a genius in this area."

"You are such a monster."

Chen Nian ignored Li Xiang's emotion. During the conversation just now, he suddenly had an inspiration.

Previously, I had made suggestions related to "knowledge education reform" to Chen Guo, and the core of this suggestion was to widely popularize basic cutting-edge knowledge at the social level.

But it's not that easy to do this.

The first step is to arouse public interest.

In his previous life, some TV programs including "National Treasure" and "Collection of China" were actually quite good.

Unfortunately, those are all concentrated in the cultural field.

So this time, taking advantage of the opportunity provided by the Americans to build high-speed rail, can we think of a way to make use of it?

Chen Nian thought for a while, organized his words, and explained his thoughts to Li Xiang.

The more Li Xiang listened, the brighter his eyes became. After Chen Nian finished speaking, he immediately clapped his hands and said:

“Great idea!”

"I already have an idea!"

"Tomorrow, I will go and communicate with Professor Chen. Don't worry, this matter will be left to us!"
