Chapter 332 (1/2)
While they were busy testing, Xiao Qi simply took Xing Hu and drove to Northwest Sichuan.
From Chengdu to the northwest, you enter the Western Sichuan Plateau. The road situation here is much worse than that in the plain area. The road is curved and narrow. The most terrible thing is the falling rocks and landslides on the surrounding cliffs. If it were not for the experienced teachers, they are generally unwilling to drive along this road.
The technology of the tiger is awesome, and the Porsche Cayenne is very powerful.
But looking at the curved mountain road all the way, Xiao Qi couldn't help thinking of the great disaster. It was because the road was blocked by debris flow and landslides, which caused great difficulties in rescue and delayed many rescue things. He didn't feel blocked in his heart.
Not only the biggest disaster, but also the second slightly smaller disaster five years later, also encountered such difficulties. If it were not located in the middle of Sichuan, I'm afraid the problems caused by road problems would not be much smaller than the biggest one.
Occasionally glancing at Xiao Qi's frown, Xing Hu said with a smile: ”Qishao, this road is like this. Although it looks very difficult to go, if you are familiar with its temperament, it will be no difficulty.”
”What to do in case of natural disasters?” Xiao Qi asked casually.
”How can there be so many natural disasters? When I was a soldier, I drove on this road for three years, that is, there was a landslide in rainstorm weather, and the rest of the time was OK. ” Xing Hu said easily, ”I don't know how many people come here every year, and I haven't heard of any major accidents.”
There are many famous scenic spots in Northwest Sichuan, all of which have to pass through this highway, among which the most famous are Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong and so on.
Now it is the peak season for tourism. The valleys on the Western Sichuan Plateau are very refreshing. Along the way, Xiao Qi can see the cars of travel agencies, large and small, carrying passengers from all over the world.
The great disaster that shocked the whole world and the smaller one five years later all happened in April and may. If it were in July and August, I'm afraid the casualties and losses would be even greater - among other things, the landslides and tunnel collapses along the way would be enough to bury countless lives.
”The reason why there was no accident was that the natural disaster was not big enough!”
The young man muttered a little unheard, and then said, ”would it be good if you built a new road to avoid the dangers of these mountain roads?”
”Of course, great!” Xing Hu laughed, but shook his head again: ”but how much money does this involve? How could the government have so much money to build such an unprofitable highway? ”
His concern is absolutely justified.
At present, the development of the whole country is moving towards urbanization, looking forward to building one large urban agglomeration after another, and then making room to take care of the countryside and mountains outside the city.
Before the completion of this goal, for example, the trunk line to Northwest Sichuan, because there are too many mountains and complex terrain, the government has no money and is not willing to invest too much in it for the time being.
Xiao Qi didn't know how much money the government spent on rebuilding roads after the terrible disaster, but what he knew was that almost all the money came from donations from all over the country and allocations from the central government. Anyway, it can't be settled by billions. It's definitely an astronomical figure.
Still less money!
