September 9th.

After many difficulties, the cross-strait bridge was finally completed.

Hsinchu, East Island, is the eastern terminus of the Strait Cross-Sea Bridge.

Li Jianhua and Pang Yi, the president of Planet Group, as well as representatives from Aerospace Group and China Railway Group, gathered here.

Su Yue, general manager of the Strait Cross-Sea Bridge Management Company, which is affiliated to Planet Group, was also present.

"Manager Su, let's start the trial run!" Panda Yi turned to Su Yue and ordered.

"No problem!" Su Yue nodded, then took out the walkie-talkie and ordered to the control room of the Hsinchu platform: "The trial operation will begin in 10 minutes."

"receive."

On the other side, Pingtan Station Control Room, Haitan Island, Fuzhou Province.

"After receiving the trial operation instruction, train HX-HY001 is ready to depart."

"Check duct vacuum."

"The vacuum degree is 99.99%, which meets the starting standards."

"Countdown 10...6...2, 1 start."

A cargo transport train at Pingtan Station quickly started. Under the state of superconducting maglev, the train gradually accelerated towards Hsinchu Station.

In less than ten minutes, HX-HY001 transported 10 30-ton containers to Hsinchu Station.

"Already arrived." Su Yue saw the red light on one of the inbound area pipes and knew that the train had entered the inbound area.

These inbound areas are used for trains entering and leaving the station in the vacuum pipeline transportation system. There are a total of 15 inbound areas (south side of the pipeline) and 15 outbound areas (north side of the pipeline).

These inbound and outbound areas are equivalent to small branch lines connected to the main line.

Taking the inbound area as an example, after the train comes from the main line, it will be automatically assigned to enter one of the inbound areas. After the train enters the inbound area pipeline, the inbound area will automatically close the connection with the main line.

Then the sealed door on the other side of the entry area will be opened. At this time, the entry area will be filled with outside air, and then the train will slowly enter the unloading area along the track.

There are no pipelines in the unloading area, only superconducting magnetic levitation tracks. The unloading area has unloading equipment similar to that of a container terminal, which can quickly unload containers into the storage area aside.

After the train is unloaded (or passengers get off), the train has two directions. The first is along the circular track, entering the loading area (or passenger boarding area), and finally entering the exit area to prepare for departure.

Another way to go is to enter an ancillary area - the train maintenance area.

Li Jianhua, Pang Dayi, Su Yue and others were in the unloading area.

"There is no problem with truck transportation for the time being. The average speed is about 1,100 kilometers per hour. It takes about 8 minutes from Pingtan to Hsinchu." Su Yue said after looking at the data transmitted from the control room.

"How is the driver's condition? By the way, let someone check if there is any problem with the goods in the container." Pang Pangyi ordered as he looked at the train that had unloaded the container.

"I'll go take a look right away." Su Yue was also very nervous about this issue.

After all, trains not only require fast speed, but also safety performance. If there is a problem with the driver or the cargo, it will be a big trouble.

"Let's go and take a look!" Li Jianhua headed towards the train maintenance area.

At this time, the train had slowly stopped in the maintenance area. The maintenance workers in charge of the maintenance quickly checked the condition of the train, while a team of medical staff quickly entered the cab to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the two drivers.

At the same time, a large group of staff quickly conducted a comprehensive inspection of the 10 containers in the storage area.

In order to resist the negative pressure inside the container caused by the vacuum pipeline, the maglev train manufacturing company adopted a box design, which is similar to a nesting doll toy.

Use a special anti-negative pressure container and put it on an ordinary container. All the vacuum and negative pressure will be borne by the outer anti-vacuum and negative pressure container, while the ordinary container inside will be safe and sound.

The medical staff's results were the first to come out. Su Yue looked at the driver's test report and felt relieved.

"It seems like good news!" Li Jianhua said with a smile.

"Manager Su, how is the driver's condition?" Da Dayi asked quickly.

"The driver's physical condition is all good. In addition, according to the driver's feedback, it is no different from ordinary trains, and even more relaxed than ordinary trains." Su Yue replied with a smile.

In fact, due to the ultra-high speed of vacuum tube trains, the train's driving system has a very high degree of automation, mainly because sometimes the driver cannot react at all and can only drive with the help of the automatic driving system, and the driver only assists driving.

More than an hour later, the train maintenance status and container inspection status came out. Su Yue reported to Li Jianhua and Pangda Yihui with satisfaction:

"Mr. Li, Mr. Pang, everything is normal on the train and there is no problem with the cargo in the container."

"I'm very pleased with this result, but you still can't take it lightly. Test for a while to see if there are any problems with each system." Li Jianhua nodded and ordered.

"We must test carefully to ensure the security of each system." Su Yue knew that this matter could not be taken carelessly.

Now there is no problem in transporting goods, but once there is a problem in transporting passengers, it will be a real scam.

Therefore, the Strait Cross-Sea Bridge Management Company first plans to launch cargo transportation business. As for the passenger transportation business, it will not be possible until at least the end of the year.

Now they are conducting small-scale internal passenger transportation tests to avoid problems when large-scale passenger transportation is launched.

Soon the official website of Galaxy Technology announced that the Strait Cross-sea Bridge was officially completed, and the freight business was officially put into operation.

"So fast! Am I dreaming?" - Nan Ke Yimeng

"The Strait Cross-Sea Bridge Management Company invited me to visit, so I'm jealous!" - Martian

" @Martians, congratulations to the guinea pig!" - Manual Funny

"Shocking! It only takes eight minutes to go directly from Hsinchu to Pingtan. If you include the time for getting on and off the bus, the trip may take only fifteen minutes. It's even worse than flying!" - UC Shock Department No. 007

“Why is there no passenger transportation?”——Shanghai user

" @Shanghai users should be testing safety issues. After all, the safety requirements for passenger transportation are higher than freight transportation." - Data Emperor

"Every ten minutes or so, it's just like being in your own city." - Bo Luan Xing

" @It's calm, brother, I'm afraid you don't know about the huge traffic jams in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen." - Manual Funny

Although netizens were very surprised by the opening of the Taiwan Strait Cross-Sea Bridge, they are no longer surprised by the miracle of Galaxy Technology.

As for inviting some Galaxy Technology fans to visit the Strait Cross-Sea Bridge, there is indeed a test project, but this is on a voluntary basis. In addition, those who agree to participate in the test will also have huge insurance and a compensation of 100,000 Mars coins.

With the opening of the cross-sea bridge's cargo transportation business, logistics transportation between the East Island and the mainland has become more convenient.

Of course, the goods currently transported are mainly the Galaxy Consortium's own goods. In addition, a number of e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba Group have also quickly signed a letter of intent with the Strait Cross-Sea Bridge Management Company.

A pipeline can transport 50,000 tons of goods in one direction a day, and about 15 million tons of goods a year.

The three pipelines can transport nearly 45 million tons of cargo every year. Of course, this number is theoretical data. In fact, considering the needs of passenger transportation, plus maintenance and the like, about 20 million tons of cargo can be transported a year.

Even so, it will be a huge improvement for cross-strait logistics and transportation.
