In fact, with the width of the Huangpu River of 400 meters, it is really cruel, the geniuses of the Royal Institute of Technology can also design a bridge, and then complete the construction.

However, after such a bridge is built, it will facilitate the exchanges between the two sides of the strait, but the shipping on the Huangpu River will basically be abolished by more than half.

With the current technology, the bridge built must have a large number of piers. Otherwise, it cannot support more than 400 meters, and the height of the bridge will not be too high. In this case, the boat will definitely have no effect, but those Large ships basically don't expect to be able to pass.

Therefore, if we really want to do this, it will seriously reduce the navigation capacity of the Huangpu River.

You must know that the current Huangpu River is the busiest waterway in China. There is no one. Large ships of hundreds or even thousands of tons travel on the Huangpu River every day.

With the current technical capabilities, if a bridge is built on the Huangpu River, half of the shipping capacity of the Huangpu River can basically be abolished.

Therefore, it is not feasible to build a bridge, at least until the technology is developed to a certain extent, it is not worth the loss.

But if there is no bridge, then the cross-strait traffic will become a big problem, and we can't just rely on boats to ferry!

Traffic difficulties are an important reason for opening the east bank of the Huangpu River, and there is no solution even in a short period of time. It is difficult to combine with the commercial and trade areas, the first and second industrial areas of the West Bank.

Traffic difficulties are the focus of the east bank of the Huangpu River, and it is the focus that is difficult to solve at present.

Therefore, there is only one place left for Chen Lifu now, and that is to go north and cross the Wusong River to the north bank.

Geographically, the north bank of the Wusong River is also close to the Huangpu River, and it is also close to the trade zone, which is more suitable for industrial and commercial development. In addition, although the widest area of ​​the Wusong River is 600 to 700 meters, the narrow area is only It is only fifty or sixty meters, and it is easier and more convenient to build a cross-river.

At the Wusong River estuary, which is near the Huangpu River, its width is only about 100 meters. To build a bridge, it only takes about 100 meters.

At the same time, although the Wusong River is also an important navigation river, it is not very navigable by large ships, mainly small and medium-sized ships. Therefore, when building a bridge across the river, it is not necessary to consider navigation too much. This will undoubtedly greatly reduce the cost of the bridge across the river. Design and construction difficulty.

If the problem of the bridge across the river can be solved, then the opening of the north bank of the Wusong River will become possible.

Because the north bank of the Wusong River is the same as the east bank of the Huangpu River, it is necessary to solve the traffic problem. Because the Huangpu River is too wide and the navigation problem is considered, the bridge will not be built for a while.

But in the north bank of Wusong River, the difficulty is greatly reduced!

It's just that although the difficulty is reduced, Chen Lifu doesn't know if it can be built.

Although he is a traditional scholar, he doesn't know much about math, physics and chemistry, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, he just knows that these are important.

Therefore, he also asked some professionals during these hours, especially those in charge of large enterprises, because the purpose of opening the North Shore is to serve those enterprises, not to open any residential area.

According to feedback from people in the business community, they believe that if a factory is to be built on the north bank of the Wusong River, then a bridge across the river must be built, and this bridge cannot be a small bridge only for pedestrians, but must be able to pass heavy transport carriages bridge.

Because the freight volume of the enterprise factory is very large, they need such a bridge to transport goods to connect the business zone and the first and second industrial zones. As for the direct transportation of goods by ship, please, this is a little longer. Too much trouble.

And if it is transported by boat, it is not better to go directly to the east bank of the Huangpu River.

Therefore, there must be a bridge that can carry a large number of heavy freight carriages!

At the same time, the bridge can not affect the shipping of Suzhou River, and can not hinder the flow of ships.

Although the Wusong River is not large, most of the small and medium-sized boats pass through it, but it is also an important inland waterway in Shanghai. It cannot be blocked because of a bridge. Therefore, the bridge must be large enough and high enough to not affect the passage of boats.

However, with the current technical capabilities, can such a bridge be built?

Chen Lifu didn't know it himself, so he hired a professional, Kang Weide, a top student from the Department of Architecture of the Royal Institute of Technology.

This person, like most of the teachers and students in the Royal Institute of Technology, is not very old. He is only twenty-three years old this year, but this person has already graduated from the Department of Architecture of the Royal Institute of Technology and has stayed on as an associate professor.

And his grade is of the third grade. He lives in large mansions allocated by the official, and he travels with a dozen followers, and they are all officially allocated. The various political benefits this person enjoys are much higher than that of Chen Lifu. .

After learning that this person had arrived in Shanghai, Chen Lifu did not dare to neglect and went to the pier himself to greet him!

"Professor Kang, please come all the way, I'm really sorry to be a low official!" Although Chen Lifu is older than him, his grade is not as good as others.

Don't think that Professor Kang is a teacher and can't give face. You must know that this person participated in the design of the reconstruction of the palace, and he participated in many important projects.

Chen Lifu gave him face, but Kang Weide didn't give him much face!

Just hummed softly, and then got on the carriage.

Outsiders may think that Chen Lifu is a potential stock in the officialdom, and he is expected to enter the cabinet in the future, but in Kang Weide's view, that is the case. Even if Chen Lifu enters the cabinet, he still does not need to give him face.

The students of the Royal Institute of Technology generally have a high political status, and those who can stay in the school to teach and obtain the title of associate professor or full professor, which grade is not the third grade, and many people still have noble titles. No matter whether it is the big bosses of the cabinet or the big bosses of the 6th navy, when they see the professors of the Royal Institute of Technology, they all have to be polite.

Especially on the navy side, in order to get the high-pressure steam engine out of the Royal Institute of Technology as soon as possible, it is necessary to be the grandson of a few professors who are responsible for researching high-pressure steam engines.

There is no way, people with high grades and high titles are nothing. Who will let them master the top technology in the world? The Navy wants a high-pressure steam engine. Except for the teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology, no one can do it for them. .

Chen Lifu also knows that the students at the Royal Institute of Technology are all eyes above the top, and everyone only thinks that they are smart people, and everyone else is mentally retarded.

Students are like this, not to mention those professors, that is, the many bigwigs who dare to scold the cabinet directly on the book are a bunch of idiots...

In fact, compared to these geniuses at the Royal Institute of Technology, others are really mentally retarded!

The gap in IQ is there, you have to accept it if you don't agree!

Chen Lifu didn't care about this either. He was just a group of scholars in an ivory tower. Although his IQ was high, his emotional quotient was low. Chen Lifu was too lazy to know them.

Of course, he would never say it, and he was afraid that if he said a little heavy sentence, others would turn around and leave.

After Kang Weide came to Shanghai, Chen Lifu originally wanted to hold a banquet to entertain him for a few days, and then personally accompanied him around Shanghai, strolling around, and enjoying the prosperity of Shanghai.

But there, Kang Weide thought that he was very busy, so he would not do all these miscellaneous things, and went directly to the Wusong River for a field inspection to see how to design the Wusong River Bridge.

When Chen Lifu heard it, he was also happy and relaxed, and immediately accompanied him to the Wusong River for a field trip.

During the inspection process, Chen Lifu also stated his own plan. He hopes to build a bridge directly at the Jiangkou location and directly connect to the Yanjiang Avenue in the commercial and trade area, so that when the north bank of the Wusong River is opened in the future, he can directly connect the north bank along the river. Dao also got in touch directly.

Whether it is a business zone, the first industrial zone, or the second industrial zone, their most important main road is the road along the river.

Because it is close to the wharf, it is the most important way to transport goods.

If the north bank of the Wusong River is to be opened, the roads along the river are naturally the most important and must be connected.

Kang Weide also took note of Chen Lifu's request, and then brought a few of his students ashore to investigate again, and then said to Chen Lifu, "We still have a few days to investigate, and Chen Lifu can do as much as he can!"

Seeing his expression, Chen Lifu clearly thought he was in the way, so he immediately got out of the way without asking for trouble.

Three days later, Kang Weide found Chen Lifu, gave him a simple design plan, and said, "This is a preliminary design plan, if you have no problem here, I will make a detailed design plan later! "

Simple design solution?

Chen Lifu picked it up and looked at it. The first thing he saw was a sketch of a bridge made of charcoal flowers. But when he looked closely, he realized that the bridge was not a wooden bridge, nor a stone bridge, but a steel bridge.

Building a bridge with steel, well, although Chen Lifu doesn't know if it can be done, but since he has given this plan, he will consider it feasible for the time being, but when he looks at the cost, he will be speechless!

Five hundred thousand taels of silver!

Seeing this number, he wanted to curse.

Is this building a bridge?

This is a robbery handle!

Building a bridge costs 500,000 taels of silver. Don't bully me. Chen Lifu doesn't know how to build and makes a mess. Moreover, even if it's the real cost, the local finances in Shanghai can't come up with that much money. what!

Looking at Chen Lifu's expression, Kang Weide on the side showed a look of contempt. It was only 500,000 taels of silver. This is still the cost of simplifying and simplifying it. Chen Lifu didn't think about it. He has such a high demand for bridge weighing , and also requires that the navigation is not affected. Such a high requirement is almost impossible to achieve except for steel bridges.

And steel is very expensive these days!

If 500,000 taels of silver can be built, he should snicker!
