00:04In case one day the east coast of the peninsula experiences a once-in-a-century flood
00:10What about the East Rail Line?
00:12The East Coast Rail Link is 665 kilometers long.
00:15The most pressing concern now is not whether it can be launched on time.
00:19The real question is whether it can withstand the annual floods on the east coast.
00:23Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang
00:25Flooding is almost a regular occurrence during the rainy season at the end of each year.
00:30Kong Qi, Project Director of China Communications Construction East Railway Company
00:33Today I'll give everyone a reassuring bowl.
00:36Just say there's no need to worry.
00:37From the very beginning of the East Rail Project's design...
00:40It was done according to the standard of a once-in-a-century event.
00:42In other words, the engineers used the highest flood level in 100 years.
00:47Use as a benchmark
00:49Therefore, the East Rail Line's roadbeds, bridges, and stations were all built exceptionally high.
00:55Higher than a river and larger than usual
00:57Kong Qi said that the floods would basically not affect the operation of their trains.
01:02Building it tall is not enough.
01:05A total of 42 rainfall monitoring stations have been set up along the East Rail Line.
01:10Monitor the rainfall along the route around the clock.
01:12If extreme weather occurs in the future
01:14How heavy was the rain? Where was it falling?
01:16The data was delivered to the cloud printing unit in a timely manner.
01:20That's up to them to decide.
01:21Should the train slow down or stop?
01:24What if there's thunder?
01:25The East Rail Line is powered by cables.
01:28That thing overhead is called the overhead contact system, or high-voltage power lines.
01:32The thing I fear most is being struck by lightning.
01:34Kong Qi said that the entire overhead contact system is equipped with lightning protection facilities and lightning rods.
01:38Minimize the risk of lightning strikes
01:41In summary, this railway
01:43In the future, it will be able to cope with basically all kinds of weather.
01:46Unless the rain is really heavy
01:48So, is it stable or not?
01:51The most convincing evidence today is not the data.
01:53Instead, it was a bottle of mineral water and a coin.
01:55Today, the media were arranged to ride the East Rail's comprehensive inspection train.
01:59From Emai to and from this Kuantan port station
02:03The train sped past at 160 kilometers per hour.
02:07The reporter was on top, and had placed the bottle of mineral water upside down on the table.
02:12Even the coins stood upright.
02:14As long as the road is straight, the bottle won't fall over.
02:17The coin won't fall over.
02:18Furthermore, the attention to detail is also evident inside the carriages.
02:22There is a power outlet under each seat.
02:24Can be charged anytime
02:26There's also a small canteen on the bus.
02:28Technicians even converted one of the carriages into a conference room and
02:32Test room
02:33Meetings can be held anytime to discuss data.
02:35What really gave the engineering team a headache was not the natural disaster.
02:38Instead, they are stray dogs that could run onto the train tracks at any moment.
02:42This happened during the testing process today.
02:46The captain saw a stray dog wander into the area ahead.
02:49Immediately use a pen to drive them away
02:50That fear, frankly
02:51Animals wandering onto the railway tracks is currently the risk they find most difficult to fully control.
02:56The reason is very practical.
02:58The train reached a speed of 160 kilometers per hour
03:01Even if the driver sees an obstacle ahead
03:04There's no way to stop it immediately.
03:06That braking distance is approximately one kilometer.
03:09Therefore, Dongtie's approach is to focus on defense.
03:13The entire line is equipped with a complete fencing system.
03:15No one is allowed to enter the fenced area without authorization.
03:19For livestock such as cattle and sheep
03:21The company also specifically contacted farmers along the route.
03:23They also requested police assistance.
03:25Because if these livestock were to wander in...
03:27This actually happened during the testing period.
03:31As for birds, dogs, cats, and monkeys
03:33Kong Qi said that you must be 100% able to prevent these animals from entering the country.
03:36It really wasn't easy.
03:37This will also be after the Fuyutsu Railway officially begins operation.
03:40A long-term challenge
03:42Yes
03:44Yes
