At twelve o'clock, the big clock on the bell tower was on the right time. The bell of "Dangdang" rang and spread to all directions. Yuwen Wen stopped and took out his pocket watch. At the same time, there were also some pedestrians around him, taking out his pocket watch face.

Demand generates demand, and agricultural society works from sunrise and rests from sunset, and does not require accurate to minutes. But now it is different. If it is not accurate to minutes, you will be late for work and you will be rushing to catch a train (ship) and you will be missed.

"Wuwuwu" sounded, as if a giant beast was roaring in the distance. Yuwen Wen looked over the sound, but felt a "demon wind" blowing towards him.

In front of him (north) is a wide square, and to the north of the square is the magnificent main building of Chang'an Railway Station (South Station).

The main building of Chang'an Railway Station and its annexes are a phase one project. After more than a year of construction, it was officially put into use at the beginning of this year. Its appearance is very similar to the city gate of Chang'an City.

Chang'an Railway Station is a new gate in Chang'an, so the main building is shaped like a huge city gate, which corresponds to the meaning of "city gate".

The main building of the railway station with the design idea of ​​"city gate" and its annexed buildings are brick and stone structures, accompanied by a large number of glass windows, like a city gate built on a rammed earth base.

The "gate" is divided into the gate of the urn city in front and the main gate of the back. There are "gate towers" on it, with the front low (four floors high) and the back high (seven floors), which are arranged in an orderly manner.

The "gate tower" above is flying over the eaves and walls, with mountains and mountains, and the golden roofs shining with golden light in the sun. There are "gate towers" that come out on both sides of the main building, with the architectural style similar to that of the palace.

From a distance, the entire Chang'an Railway Station main building complex looks like a magnificent "Gate of Heaven" standing between heaven and earth, and is as majestic as the Taiji Hall complex of the Imperial Palace, making people feel awe.

Yuwen Wen stood on the south side of the square, looking at the epoch-making complex in front of him, and his excitement was beyond words.

The railway station is a symbol of the industrial age and should not have appeared in this era, but with his nearly forty years of hard work, a miracle happened.

Yes, this is a miracle. When many people still live a life of men farming and women weaving, and when scholars are still shaking their heads and saying "Zhihuzhe", the steamships with thick smoke are already sailing on rivers, lakes, seas and land, and telegraph lines and railways connect the center and the frontier.

There are also picric acid, nitroglycerin, semi-finished penicillin, and artemisinin under development. These are all miracles. This is the miracle he created and will also be the "legacy" he left to this era.

Now, everything seems to be condensed in this magnificent Chang'an Railway Station.

Chang'an Railway Station (Phase I Project), in addition to the main building and the annexed building complex, also has an eight-lane train platform, which is two semicircular and is "covered" by a single-span arch shed in the steel structure.

This single-span arch shed structure was first used in the roof of the factory building. It has nearly 20 years of design, construction, use and maintenance experience. Now the railway station boldly adopts this architectural structure to protect the platform and the stopping iron carts from rain and snow. Passengers who board and get off the bus can walk on the platform calmly without having to hold an umbrella.

When the railway station was completed and had not yet opened to the public, Yu Wen Wen visited the scene several times. So, he didn't plan to go in today, just stood in the square, looking at the new landmark in Chang'an from a distance.

By the time the national railway trunk line is completed decades later, Chang'an Railway Station will be the hub of Tianxia Railway.

Here, a train will head in all directions. To the east, you can go to Hedong and Shandong (east of the Taihang Mountains), to the southeast, to the Jingxiang area, to the southwest, to the Hanzhong and Shu areas, to the west, to the Longyou area, and to the north, you can go to Hetao (Shuofang) area.

Yuwen Wen could not see the grand occasion at that time, but he was already satisfied with laying a solid foundation for a bright future. Looking at the bustling crowd in front of the railway station and looking at the main building that looked like a city gate, he suddenly had an idea.

Should I make a slogan "Chang'an welcomes guests from all directions with a smile" and "Chang'an welcomes you"?

It feels very vulgar...

But it is necessary to welcome guests from all directions with a smile. After all, this is the face of Chang'an and the face of the court.

Yuwen retracted his thoughts and walked to the side of the square.

There is no need to put up any slogans, because this method is too "shocking". Yuwen Wen had thought of erecting a statue in the square in front of this station, such as erecting a statue on his horse and pointing his sword in front of him, but after thinking about it, he still gave up this idea.

Because this practice is only used on the tomb: before the tomb is sealed, a shrine is erected and a statue is accompanied by a statue.

Yuwen Wen's aesthetic is different from the mainstream aesthetics of this era. He does not want to cause trouble to everyone, so many "postmodern" design elements are not used in the final design plan.

However, some layouts of railway stations in later generations have been used now, such as the commercial street in front of the station, and now there is Chang'an Railway Station (South Station).

Passengers entering and leaving the train station have an urgent need for consumption, and the train station has such a large flow of people, which is also a commercial treasure land that is valuable in every inch of land. Once the two are combined, there will naturally be a commercial street.

There are restaurants, tea shops, and grocery stores in the commercial street to meet the food and shopping needs of passers-by. On the other side of the commercial street is a concentrated area for inns, which is convenient for passers-by to stay.

Yuwen Wen is now going to the commercial street to see if there are any hidden dangers.

Of course, he was just a quick look, and the specific inspection and secret visits were naturally responsible for Akishi.

The railway station has a huge flow of people, which is also a high-incidence area for public security incidents, including commercial streets. If the railway station’s security is not good, it will embarrass Chang'an and discredit the imperial court. Therefore, Yuwen Wen attaches great importance to the security situation of the railway station.

The railway station is mixed with fish and dragons, some bad businessmen use car accidents, ghosts exchange fake money, and other means to blackmail passers-by, bully passers-by, and "black cars" to deceive customers, and various thieves commit crimes.

There are even "hand-cutting parties", "head-knocking parties" to rob, and there are criminal forces who trafficked people, bullied the market, and forced buying and selling. Behind all this, you can basically not get rid of the "collusion between cats and mice". Yu Wen "has heard about this" and hates it deeply.

At the same time, the railway station is a densely populated place. Once something happens, such as a fire, panicked people fleeing everywhere, it is easy to cause major casualties such as stampede.

Therefore, the management of railway stations must be prepared for any eventuality. It is necessary to prevent fires and strengthen public security management, and to prevent officials, staff and criminal gangs from colluding with cats and mice.

Because of this demand, the railway station not only has a police station, but also has a garrison and firefighting team to deal with various unexpected situations at any time.

In addition, there is another very important issue, that is, hygiene issues.

The train station has a large flow of people. Once the catering and accommodation industries around the train station fail to disinfect tableware, it will become a place for the spread of diseases. A sick person eats in a certain restaurant and stays in an inn, which can easily spread the disease to others.

Then one passes to ten, ten passes to hundreds, and then spreads out with the train. Therefore, the hygiene of the food and accommodation industries in the railway station must also be paid attention to.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Wen suddenly thought of a possibility.

Don’t talk about zombie viruses, it’s just ordinary flu. As long as patients are active at the train station, they can easily be transmitted to others, and then they will spread quickly to the surroundings through mobile people and trains.

This is the side effect of convenient transportation. While shortening the distance between local areas, it also shortens the distance between epidemic areas and other areas.

When Yuwen thought of this, he looked at the crowd coming and going on the commercial street and suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

Public transportation has accelerated, and public health must also be accelerated.
