The railway workers were very excited when they were encouraged by Deng Xiaoping and others, and decided to devote all their efforts to railway construction.

Zhang Biao heard that Luo Xiangqian interceded for them in front of Captain Ma, so that they could be exempted from punishment and continue to stay and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Zhang Biao expressed his gratitude to Luo Xiangqian.The groundbreaking ceremony officially began. Deng Xiaoping delivered an inspiring speech. He first elaborated on the great significance of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway to the people of Sichuan, and then listed the upcoming difficulties one by one. He hoped that the experts and commanders and fighters would cooperate sincerely to create glory together..

Liu Bocheng also delivered an impassioned speech. The soldiers were high-spirited and full of confidence. He Long personally handed over the banner of "Pioneer%" to Commander Ma.After the groundbreaking ceremony, Luo Xiangqian embarked on the journey with the exploration team. His leg injury had not yet healed, so he used crutches to travel.The team traveled day and night to Yongquan Town. The mayor Guo Shuanglai personally brought the villagers to the entrance of the village to greet them. He arranged the company headquarters to the town hall and let the soldiers live in the villagers' homes.

Yongquan Town is very poor, and the villagers are very nervous about housing, so they still leave the best houses to the soldiers.Villager Tan Changhou invited Zhang Biao to live in his home. The newlyweds gave their new house to Wu Qiang and they moved to their parents' home. Wu Qiang thanked them for their kindness and went to look for a house in someone else's house. The villagers came to Wu Qiang on his own initiative, and Wu Qiang moved into her home..Luo Xiangqian was interested in a granary that had been idle for many years, and wanted to place the company headquarters here and let the soldiers pitch tents in the open space. Luo Xiangqian didn't want to cause trouble to the villagers, so Guo Shuanglai had no choice but to give up.

Early the next morning, Luo Xiangqian made a detailed division of labor for the soldiers, asking them to open up wasteland and cultivate land to support themselves. The soldiers divided up to prepare.Railway experts from all over the country came to the station one after another. Liu Xinmin and Zhao Guoliang expressed their warm welcome and assigned them to various military industry brigades.

Sha Kai asked Sha Menghai for news about the exploration team. Sha Menghai knew that he was thinking about Ye Lan. However, Sichuan was high in the sky and the road was far away and the terrain was dangerous. Sha Menghai could not get news about the exploration team immediately. He persuaded Sha Kai to come.Sha Kai was very resistant to the first line exercise.The team had been stationed for several days, but the technical staff had not arrived and the work could not be advanced. Luo Xiangqian was very anxious and complained loudly in front of Wu Qiang. Wu Qiang advised him not to act too hastily.

Luo Xiangqian sat in the tent and sighed. Zhang Biao gave him good advice. Luo Xiangqian heard that his home was not far from here and promised to take time to let him go home. Zhang Biao dreamed of fighting, but he didn't want to build roads., Luo Qianqian tried his best to comfort him, but Zhang Biaocai still couldn't let go.Captain Ma called Zhao Guoliang and asked Zhao Guoliang to send technical personnel to the scene as soon as possible. Zhao Guoliang was also anxious about this matter. Eight road sections were fully rolled out and there was a serious shortage of technical personnel. He had already applied to the Ministry of Railways to dispatch time workers from other places for reinforcements, so that his direct subordinates couldDo the troubleshooting work first.

Luo Xiangqian led the soldiers to clear obstacles in the early stage. Wu Qiang went to the Eighth Company to ask Zhou Dafeng for a lot of helmets, and Zhang Biao gave them to the soldiers one by one.That night, Wu Qiang was still staying up late and working overtime to prepare materials. Zhang Biao dreamed that he was being shot. He was so frightened that he screamed loudly. Luo Qiang was woken up, and it suddenly started raining heavily. Luo Qiang, Zhang Biao and Wu Qiang hurriedly got up.The tents were strengthened, but the rain became heavier and heavier. Guo Shuanglai rushed to the camp in the rain and asked the soldiers to take shelter at the fellow villagers' homes. The fellow villagers also came to invite them. Luo Xiangqian reluctantly agreed to let the soldiers take shelter at the fellow villagers' homes for a while.

Luo Xiangqian took the soldiers to the mountain to open a road early in the morning. The mountain road was rugged, so Luo Xiangqian immediately decided to ask the soldiers to help the fellow villagers build a path up the mountain.Sha Menghai asked Sha Kai to go to the construction site. Sha Kai didn't want to go and had to go to the hospital to issue a sick note. Sha Menghai was very angry and asked him to leave tomorrow. His attitude was unquestionable. Sha Kai dared to be angry but dared not speak out.Luo Xiangqian received a call from Captain Ma. He was very happy and asked Wu Qiang to prepare to greet the technician.

Luo Xiangqian was ordered to lead people to pick up Sha Kai. Faced with Sha Kai's gratitude, Luo Xiangqian promised to cooperate with Sha Kai's work, and then brought him to the company headquarters.
