At 11:30 at night, a car picked up the last passenger and drove onto the highway in a flash.

The white car was on the high beam, illuminating the signs of the roads on both sides, looking silent and serious, and no one could walk with him on the empty roads.

In this late night, the intersecting or parallel vehicles have become increasingly rare. The black car is moving forward like a lonely traveler, silently.

This highway is the junction between the western region and the eastern mountains. The route is difficult and expensive. The project team raised funds and plans for a long time before they were completed in two sections.

But at this time, the atmosphere in the carriage was particularly harmonious.

Given the quiet and silent environment outside, the driver Jackie took the initiative to find the topic and chatted with the latest traveler.

"Sir, why did you take a taxi to the neighboring city so late?"

The man who got on the bus at the end was not tall, but very strong, with his face like a knife and an axe chop, and his eyes, ears, mouth and nose looked particularly abrupt and powerful, but it would not make people feel disgusted.

He smiled and said, "I received a message from a friend and asked me to go to the next city. It's really hard to find a car so late. Fortunately, you have your car!"

The driver Jackie said proudly: "That's because you've found the right person. I've been driving this road for nine years, and I've been driving at night. Don't worry."

After saying that, he put one hand on the steering wheel very relaxedly, and adjusted the on-board channel with the other, ready to make a sound.

There are two particularly young men in the back seat of the car, one with a round head and the other with a Chinese face. I really don’t know if they are looking for facial features that can complement each other when making friends.

Both men are college students in the city and want to go to the neighboring city for scientific research, but when asked what they are investigating, they are all taboo.

Among them, the round-faced young man joked: "So, Mr. Jackie, you are driving this kind of night bus, so you can't get business during the day?"

The young man with a national face also responded: "It may be because he gives more money at night, so he will take the route at night."

The driver Jackie pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Ahem, since you said it, I will charge you double the fare. The original price of the gentleman next to you."

"No!" *2

"Hehe, don't guess. I'm working for two days and two days off, so I'll start to pick up customers at the end of get off work, and I can just hurry back at a relatively late time."

Not long after such a conversation, the car fell into silence again, and only the on-board radio station with failed frequency modulation made a harsh and monotonous rustling sound.

The round-faced young man with a round-faced face is good at adjusting the atmosphere, so he quickly continued to ask: "Mr. Jackie, you should know a lot about this highway, right?"

The trick to select topics in chat is not to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the lead in the topic, but to just throw out some inspiring topics and encourage the other party to speak.

This can not only invisibly liven up the atmosphere, but also give people a feeling of understanding. The effect is better than narrating your own opinions continuously, and it can play a role in making a big difference.

"That's of course. The construction of this highway has almost accompanied me for the first half of my life."

Sure enough, the driver showed quite obvious interest and began to describe himself.

"When I was young, this road started to be built, but the technical level at that time led to the high cost of the project, so it was always in the construction stage. I heard that the person in charge of the construction group at that time raised funds while soliciting construction plans on the other hand, and finally building it."

"That's it! Then this person in charge has perseverance!" the two young men sighed.

"Of course! My father was also the deputy leader of the transportation team in the group and told the person in charge about the difficulties at that time. Not only did they finally adopt a very special construction plan."

“What plan?”

Seeing that the curiosity of the two young people was mobilized, the driver Jackie continued to talk.

"The difficulties at that time were mainly concentrated on capital and technology. So the plan found by the person in charge at that time was to build it in two sections."

"If you need to ensure basic traffic and traffic through the first section, you can complete traffic and start profitability along the mountain slope that is easier to build," he said.

"The second section will use more mature elevated bridge technology to build a road bridge between the high mountains and ridges in the eastern mountainous areas so that cars can pass through it."

"According to preliminary estimates, the cost of the second phase will be more than ten times that of the first phase. The expert who proposed this construction plan asked the person in charge seriously whether he was really confident of sticking to it. If the subsequent funds cannot be solved, or the overpass technology cannot be broken through, or if he decides to give up halfway, he will only get a simple, curved and embarrassing country road."

The young man with round face listened to this story with a surprised look. It is hard to imagine that someone was so persistent in building a road, and even made a job that could be solved immediately into a long-term job that could take more than ten years to achieve results.

How much money and how much work you have has always been the main theme of the federal government and trust companies. They claim that spending too much budget is a waste, and exceeding the budget is a crime.

So what kind of obsession does this road embody to cultivate the grand and magnificent in his eyes!

The young man with round face looked out the window and saw that the environment on both sides had gone from flat and vast to winding and steep. Many mountains suddenly appeared in his sight, like a giant's rough hand, slowly lifting upwards, wanting to hold them in the palm of his hand.

And their car also turned into a black beetle, crawling between the endless palm patterns of the giant hand.

In such a steep environment, the expressway is like a road to heaven, with solid underground roadbeds as bones, steel guardrails on both sides transform into blood vessels, and the reflective indicators of the road become nerves, transporting dense signals of returning home or traveling.

"Young man, what are you thinking?"

The driver Jackie looked in the rearview mirror and found that the young man who was asking questions was actually dazed there. He couldn't help but speak and reminded him so that his statement could continue.

"Oh oh it's okay, Mr. Driver, what about you later?"

"Later, after a phase of the road was built, the entire project team entered an unlimited shelving state, and only the person in charge was still busy with this plan. He held the plan in his hand, from this company to that company, from this city to that city, and searched all the potential investors along the highway plan, and finally completed the fundraising."

"At this time, the breakthrough in overpass technology mentioned by the expert has not yet appeared. If it is under the existing technical conditions, the cost will be more than half."

"At this time, the already gray-haired person and expert, facing this plan that was about to be stranded, was at a loss..."

"Failed?" asked the round-faced young man in disbelief, and then his companion with the suppressed national-faced face complained ruthlessly.

"If you don't succeed, how did you come from now?"

"Hahaha, that's right. So how did you deal with it later? Technical breakthroughs don't mean there is something." The round-faced young man said awkwardly.

At this time, the middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat suddenly spoke with a smile.
Chapter completed!
