Chapter 57 Man-made stars
The two followed the crowd out of the station.

There are more people in the square in front of the station.Someone, a few people, and an organized group of people raised their arms and raised their precious books and shouted some slogans. It was too noisy here, and they couldn't hear what they were shouting clearly.There are also a lot of soldiers, and they are strictly disciplined, standing like loose and walking like the wind.

Liu Jinrong's palms were sweating, and he held onto Zhang Qingzhi tightly, fearing that he would be scattered by the crowd accidentally.

She grabbed Zhang Qingzhi's clothes with both hands, and she didn't have time to look at the road.

In this era, the majestic and majestic railway station, the crowded square in front of the station, the tall flower-like street lamps, the police on duty, the endless stream of cars, and the red flags flying everywhere are erected at the station and surrounding buildings. The huge text slogan on it.

There is a huge portrait of a great man hanging in the middle of the station, and the three big characters of BJ station have stood on the roof of the station at the moment, and the rain at the entrance of the station is covered with a banner with white characters on a red background and unite for greater victory.

The sound of cars, horns, human whistles and singing are mixed together and impact people's eardrums.

Walking out of the station to the edge of the square, Liu Jinrong's worldview has collapsed and been rebuilt.

Zhang Qingzhi looked up at the sky, then turned his head to look at the two huge chime clocks on the top of the BJ station, turned his head to Liu Jinrong, who was flying to nowhere, and said, "Our next bus is at 04:30 p.m. , there are still a few hours, should I wait here or go out for a stroll?"

"Huh? Uh, huh? What did you say?" Liu Jinrong blinked and looked at Zhang Qingzhi.

Zhang Qingzhi pointed to the announcing clock on the station and said: "I said there is enough time, and there are still several hours. Should we wait here or go out for a stroll."

Liu Jinrong turned his head to look at the chiming clock: "It's so big, how did you make it so big? Is there someone shaking it?"

Zhang Qingzhi said: "It uses electricity. If there is electricity, it will run, and if there is no electricity, it will stop. There is a machine inside. Are you hungry?"

The biscuits and eggs that the two of them had brought before were long gone, so it would be a light journey.

It took Liu Jinrong a long time to look away from the shocking big announcement clock, followed by a bus below for a while before looking at Zhang Qingzhi: "What time is our bus? Is there still time?"

Zhang Qingzhi rubbed his face: "Hurry up, there are still several hours. Are you hungry?"

Zhang Qingzhi reached out to grab Liu Jinrong and led her to the bus stop.Now the bus stop is right in front of the ticket office.

Zhang Qingzhi had never been in BJ before, and he didn’t know how to get there by car, so he dragged Liu Jinrong to ask the police on duty on the side of the road. The police told the two people a very bad news. All the cars have been diverted, and I can't go to that area for a few days.

Liu Jinrong was very disappointed, Zhang Qingzhi said: "It's okay, you have to go here when you come back, and I'll look at it later."

Liu Jinrong said: "Why is the road closed? I haven't heard anything about it? If there is something wrong, so many people, wouldn't they be coaxed?"

Zhang Qingzhi whispered: "I know what it is, it's the subway." In fact, he was guessing randomly.The road was closed there these days because of a large gathering.

Liu Jinrong also asked in a low voice: "Earth, iron? What kind of iron?"

Zhang Qingzhi said: "It is to repair and run trains underground."

Liu Jinrong opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Oh my god, can a train run underground? It's so big."

Zhang Qingzhi said: "It's the same as we dig holes for railways. We dig holes in the ground and then lay railways. We can't talk about this matter."

Liu Jinrong pouted: "I don't believe it. How do you know?"

Zhang Qingzhi said: "The railway we are building now is connected to this subway, and the train can go from here to Shanxi.
Liu Jinrong blinked: "Really?"

Zhang Qingzhi nodded: "When we build this railway, we drill in the mountains. We don't go to flat places at all. Even if the Yankees and Big Nose are repaired, we can't see them. What stars do they have in the sky, wandering around our heads every day?" , watch us."

Liu Jinrong let out a cry: "The Yankee is so good? And the stars?"

Zhang Qingzhi said: "It's not the stars, it's man-made. The machines fly in the sky, and we can't see them. Anyway, we have to hide in the mountains. Now many big factories and military industries are moving to the mountains."

Liu Jinrong thought for a while and said, "The Yankee is really capable. He can also make stars fly in the sky. Why don't we make them? It's not easy to make?"

Zhang Qingzhi said: "If you don't make it, you must make it. It turns out that the Yankees have round bullets that can blow up a large area at once. Later, we also made them. We also have light bullets. This The stars must be fine. So many scientists."

Liu Jinrong asked: "Is there such a powerful bullet? Have you seen it?"

Zhang Qingzhi scratched his head and said, "I haven't seen it before. That thing is kept secret and only high-ranking officials can see it. Are you hungry?"

Liu Jinrong looked at the busy traffic on the street: "There are so many people in BJ, so many buildings, and so many cars. You can't see the end of that road, so you can't get lost if you go out and wander around?"

Zhang Qingzhi said: "It will be fine once you get used to it."

In this era, the main urban area of ​​BJ was not very big, that is, the four districts of Xuanwu and Chongwen in the east city and west city (later merged into today's two districts in the east city and west city), which were not as big as Shenyang.Chaoyang is still an eastern suburb at the moment, and BJ Railway Station is already on the edge of the eastern city.

From 1952 to 1958, the state put all Wanping County of HEB Province and the counties of Fangshan, Changping, Liangxiang, Fangshan, Daxing, Tongxian, Shunyi, Pinggu, Miyun, Huairou, Yanqing under the jurisdiction of BJ, surrounded by the capital , forming a buffer zone.

The history of BJ's modern urban development is actually a process of constantly digging out Hebei, and there was even a call for canceling all of Hebei to be assigned to BJ.

We ate at the state-run restaurant next to the train station square, and the two young people who had never been to BJ walked around the train station.

At this moment, the entire square in front of BJ Station is wide and flat. There are no buildings except street lights. Vehicles can drive in casually, and some flower beds have been built.There are some vans and Shanghai cars parked in the center of the square. Walking across the square is a wide road without barriers or overpasses.

To the east of the station is a large area of ​​old-style bungalows, and to the south and west is a patch of buildings.

People walked casually in the squares and roads extending in all directions, and the policemen in white jackets and helmets were on duty blowing whistles.

At this time in 68, the police uniform has been changed to the 66 style. The upper body is the uniform of the PLA cadres, that is, four pockets, a military cap, and dark blue trousers on the lower body. However, the traffic police still wear the 58 style white jacket and blue trousers. White helmets (with green helmets after 67).
