Rebirth: Super Banking System - Chapter 2332 - 2172: Railway Opening

Chapter 2332: Chapter 2172: Railway Opening

What’s different?

Bigger.

Digging out the riverbed is just the start, but when you come to construct the channel, it’s a completely different concept. And this construction also has categories, one using concrete as the base.

The other.

Uses pebbles.

Originally.

The dug-out small river channel mostly had soil at the bottom, but in the future, depending on the situation, it might be filled with stones or turned into concrete. In this plan.

The former is more common.

Also.

Even though it’s a small river channel, according to most people’s aesthetic, stones are a bit better. Regarding concrete channels, they mostly appear in special locations.

Kan Qin quite likes it.

Money?

Print it.

This thing.

Plenty.

As long as a country has enough products demanded by the world to keep currency circulation going, it can print money within a certain range confidently.

Now.

Regarding projects, Kan Qin welcomes everything.

With projects.

Comes GDP, which allows the completion of Ling’s goal, though next year’s growth target won’t be too high, maintaining a trillion-dollar GDP is not easy.

It’s not easy.

Hope.

Ling won’t give him another ’surprise’ next year.

…

Seventeenth.

Thursday.

Morning.

Kan Qin took an airplane.

Arrived at Delin Province, along with the Thai top-level officials who rushed over last night. This project, in terms of significance to Thailand, is far greater than to Myanmar.

Therefore.

It’s the Thai high-level officials visiting Myanmar, rather than the Myanmar high-level officials going over there, with incredibly high standards, and the president of the opposing side coming personally. Ling was also expected to attend.

On arrival.

Flags flutter.

Music and dance fly.

This place.

Already gathered over a thousand people. As soon as Kan Qin disembarked, he saw the gigantic train station, but in fact, this isn’t a transfer station, but a node station.

Here.

The Thai-Myanmar Railway officially connects to the Myanmar railway network.

In fact.

The transfer station is at the Thai-Burmese border point, where the customs of both countries handle exit and entry procedures for passengers, but as for why not go there, too far.

Strictly speaking, relatively speaking it’s too far.

Currently.

Accompanied by the Thai-Myanmar expressway along this railway, which isn’t complete yet, is scheduled to be finished in March next year. So they simply chose here, and the Thai side naturally had no objections.

Because.

The unfinished part is mainly on the Thai side.

Oh!

At this thought.

The Thai high-level officials became embarrassed.

No way.

The main reason is still money. At the beginning, loans were taken to build the railway, the expressway was not included, so Thailand has to pay for it themselves, which involves efficiency.

Project establishment.

Survey.

Approval.

Construction

…

The Myanmar side completes at lightning speed.

The Thai side takes a look.

Wow!

So fierce.

Rush as they might.

Still can’t match Myanmar’s speed, while they’ve started construction, Thai’s surveys haven’t even finished yet. If not for many existing roads.

Might have been slower.

Honestly.

Even if completed, won’t be as high standard as Myanmar’s highways. If built according to Myanmar’s standards, don’t say March, even June next year wouldn’t be completed.

Heart-wrenching.

No comparison, no harm.

Came here.

Glancing around, everywhere is a critical hit, Thai top officials can only maintain a smile, but rain in the heart, back in the day when visiting here.

Pointing fingers.

Full of vigor.

Full of pride.

Now.

Can only tuck tails and remain humble.

…

In front of the station.

In the square.

Zhou Yan is holding live broadcast equipment, introducing in front of the screen. The ’first-hand information’ from a few days ago made his fame soar, follower count skyrocketing.

Now.

He’s already a big anchor.

Adjusting angle.

Zhou Yan said:

“Over there, the ceremony is happening now, with top officials from both countries present, security is tight, I can’t get too close, so I won’t go squeeze with others.”

This matter.

Has general news nature, squeezing in won’t help.

“New friends are asking where this is, let me explain again, this is Delin Province, the starting station of the Thai-Myanmar Railway, you could also say it’s the terminal station.”

“Myanmar’s starting point.”

“Thai’s terminal.”

“Today.”

“This railway is officially open and operating. In the future, you can get on the train in Bangkok, and roughly three hours later, reach the depths of Delin Province from Bangkok.”

“Very fast.”

“Of course.”

“Unlike high-speed rail, this is ordinary railway, speeds between eighty to one hundred. I’ve already bought a ticket, at eleven o’clock I’ll take the first Thai train.”

“Along the way…well, hope there’s internet.” Zhou Yan said helplessly.

In Myanmar.

He has confidence.

But in Thailand it’s uncertain. When it comes to 4G coverage, Myanmar excels, all railway, highway routes have 4G coverage.

Moreover.

Currently globally unmatched.

Of course.

Big costs too.

Money.

Huge sums. On 4G equipment investment, Myanmar spent over a hundred billion, achieving such coverage, unless going deep into forests, there’s internet.

As for Thailand.

Oh!

Pray!

Taking the Thai-Myanmar Railway was his goal before coming to Myanmar, as the Myanmar side announced the opening time, and it drew big local attention.

Now.

Got what he wished.

If not following daily attention, booking at the first chance when tickets opened, estimates he wouldn’t get tickets on the first train,’s also booked return.

Scheduled in a week.

This line.

Operated jointly by two countries.

Therefore.

Through Myanmar’s website, return tickets can be booked.

…

Finally.

Waiting until eleven o’clock, after ceremony completion, the big shots dispersed, security level lowered, Zhou Yan immediately headed into the station, passed a level of security.

Inside.

Turn right.

Came to the automatic ticket machine.

“I’m sure everyone isn’t unfamiliar with this, the automatic ticket machine is part of Myanmar’s tourism service quality improvement plan. I can collect tickets with my passport.”

Speaking.

Takes out passport, scans the barcode.

Instantly.

The information of his ticket is displayed, clicks print, and a few seconds later, a paper ticket appears in his hand, Zhou Yan feels great.

Currently.

Still not widely available domestically, only high-speed rail stations have it.

Why?

Because ordinary railways can’t yet buy tickets online. Last year, the first high-speed rail operated, and this September, the railway department opened a website.

Only for high-speed rail.

Regarding this.

The explanation is simple.

—Transport capacity.

Before high-speed rails appear in large numbers to relieve ordinary railway passenger pressure, opening online bookings isn’t fair to many queuing people.

One queues overnight.

One sits at home.

Obviously.

The former are the disadvantaged groups, Zhou Yan heard that by the end of next year there’s hope to gradually launch online bookings for ordinary trains, then you’ll have what you see now.

It’s not a technology limitation.

But rather reality constraints.

Lots of people.

Expansive lands.

To change, numerous influencing factors, but with Huaxia’s efficiency, as soon as conditions mature, these things will be popularized at an astonishing rate.

This.

Is undoubtedly.

…

Ticket check.

Entering the station.

Only to see a long white silhouette, standing on the railway. Zhou Yan is now very familiar with it, the high-speed rail coaches from Huaxia, are pervasive in Myanmar.

One word.

Extravagant!

Their cost far exceeds average coaches, but Myanmar is this rich and generous, directly eliminating world’s still mainstream slow fast train coaches.

Kind of…weird.

In China.

High-speed rails use electricity.

Here.

The locomotive is still a diesel engine, but to match this ’body’, some modification was done, so overall it doesn’t look too incongruous.
