[Shenjiang No. 1 participated in the construction of the deepest submarine tunnel]On August 23, China's self-developed subsea tunnel shield machine rolled off the assembly line in Changsha, Hunan. The equipment shield machine has an excavation diameter of 13.42 meters, a total length of 130 meters, and a total weight of 3,800 tons. It will participate in the construction of China's deepest submarine tunnel-the Zhujiangkou Tunnel of the Shenzhen-Jiangmen Railway. The Pearl River Mouth Tunnel is a key control project of the Deep River Railway. "Shenjiang No. 1" crosses the section with a total length of 3590 meters.

The European Union has announced its 2040 high-speed rail development plan, with a total investment of 550 billion euros, aiming to build a high-speed rail network across Europe and reduce travel time between major capitals by half. The funding will adopt the "EU Fund+Member State Supporting+Private Capital" model, and a high-speed railway agreement will be introduced before 2026 to leverage private capital. The entire network will unify the signal system, with a focus on filling the gaps in Eastern and Southern Europe. This website has the triple intention of green transformation, economic cohesion, and geopolitical strategy, but financing, land acquisition, and approval are still tough battles, and whether they can be realized depends on the finances and progress of each country.Editor/Cheng Liting
