Chapter 236 Are You Paving the Road?(2/2)
Evans shrugged and continued:
"As long as I am needed here, I will continue to work."
"In other words, as long as America needs me, I will continue to work."
"May God bless us!"
As Ruth finished her last line, the camera immediately cut away, and this successful live broadcast came to an end.
Everyone present high-fived each other in celebration, and Evans could finally put down the hammer and return to the cool room to rest.
This live broadcast was quickly reprinted on domestic websites, and netizens' reactions were exactly what the United States expected.
"The quality of American workers is indeed much better than ours. Look at their big muscles. Do we who work on the construction site have such muscles?"
"No way, income levels are different. We all eat carbohydrates, and they eat all kinds of meat and protein. Can they develop the same way?"
"Indeed. It's not only a matter of physical fitness, but also a strong sense of personal cognition. Although he does not have a high degree of education, he is very decent in both conversation and performance."
"It can be seen that the other party is indeed much better than us in basic education."
"Who are our migrant workers? Forget it, let's not discuss this topic."
"Is there anything we can't talk about? Today the official also released the live video of the first episode. Go watch it for yourselves. The difference is not a little bit different."
"Really? Then I have to whip the corpse quickly."
As the comments continued to refresh, in China, the popularity of the video of the first phase of the Beijing-Shijiazhuang High-Speed Railway also began to rise rapidly. And the moment the video was seen, the public opinion on the Internet almost immediately began to slide towards an irreversible abyss.
The gap is really too big
Compared with the United States, clean and tidy construction sites do not exist.
Judging from the shots taken at the scene, there are messy construction materials and excavated soil piles everywhere along the construction section. The rustic blue isolation board separates the construction site from the farmland not far away because it has rained.
, there was still muddy water flowing on the ground, and even the host's trouser legs were covered with mud.
The shield machine that was supposed to be the main event did not appear at all, and was replaced by a work tool that was so simple that it could almost be said to be crude.
Hammer, shovel, hemp rope.
All this combined makes one suspect that what these people are building is not a high-speed railway, but a steam train line from the 1920s.
The filming methods used by the official media are even more disturbing.
They also chose a protagonist to follow and film, but the image of that protagonist was far inferior to that of the American Evans. Instead, he was a thin, dark-skinned ordinary worker wearing a dirty safety helmet.
According to the video footage, the worker’s name is Wang Tiezhu.
——
Even the name is ridiculous to the extreme.
In the picture, his day at the construction site can almost be said to be extremely busy.
When the camera focused on him, he was struggling with his fellow workers to lift the unqualified prefabricated panels to the edge of the roadbed.
The veins on his neck popped out, and his contourless arms looked even thinner against the thick precast concrete slabs.
"Master, master, what are you doing?"
the reporter asked.
"Lay the tracks!"
Wang Tiezhu replied simply.
Immediately afterwards, as a trumpet sounded, the prefabricated panels were thrown heavily to the ground and reached the edge of the roadbed.
"We know this is laying railroad tracks, can you tell us more about it?"
Wang Tiezhu took off the sweat-stained towel from his neck and wiped his face, then took a breath and said:
"According to the requirements of construction standards, the laying accuracy of ballastless track must reach plus or minus 1 millimeter, or one thousand five hundredth."
"This is just a simple installation, and we will continue to make adjustments."
"Well, little girl, your people stand back and block the working surface."
In the picture, the reporter took a step back in a panic, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
But she soon adjusted and continued to ask:
"Master, what instruments do you use to measure accuracy? How do you ensure accurate measurements?"
"There are many high-precision levels, profile measuring instruments, and rail bottom slope measuring instruments. But we don't measure them, the worker behind them does."
"Old Liu! Come here for a moment, let the reporter interview you!"
Wang Tiezhu's tone was a bit harsh, and before the reporter could react, he hurried away again.
The live broadcast screen soon cut to another reporter. The person he was interviewing was the chief engineer of this project.
However, at this moment, the audience watching the show seemed to have little interest.
"The gap is too big. The gap in the quality of workers is too big."
"Just like this, we still say that we will complete the work within three months? Do we still want to compete with the old Americans? What a joke!"
"If you don't have a shield machine, you should at least have one with an excavator, right?"
"There is an excavator, but the on-site scene is not cut out. To be honest, the construction site is too chaotic, just like a war."
"Upstairs, let's talk about it. A normal construction site is like this. Although it looks messy, everything has a fixed position. This is what an efficient construction site looks like."
"Hahaha, are you still comforting yourself here? Highly efficient? Can you still be efficient like this?"
"Stop talking nonsense, is it so difficult to admit that others are strong?"
Posts and comments were constantly being refreshed on the forum. Although there was no online live broadcast at this time, let alone barrages, no one who was paying attention to this matter would miss these comments.
The voices of doubt grew louder and louder, but at this moment, the live broadcast screen switched back to Wang Tiezhu.
Just over half an hour had passed, and he was already even dirtier.
At this time, the reporter finally asked the key question.
"Master, if you do this, how much can you do today?"
"What? How much?"
Wang Tiezhu asked puzzledly:
"That's it, if you work like this, how many meters of rails can you lay in a day?"
"Oh, it's about 500 meters. When more large-scale machinery comes in later, the gantry crane and track laying machine are ready, it can be raised to one thousand meters."
"Of course, this is just the preliminary laying, and there will be more follow-up."
"Just wait."
The reporter interrupted Wang Tiezhu and asked in a surprised tone:
"How many meters did you just say?"
"1000 meters. Average 125 meters per hour."
Wang Tiezhu straightened up slightly. His waist was a little stooped and his posture was not tall at all.
He just asked doubtfully:
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Chapter completed!
