High-Speed Rail Dispatcher: I Can See the Chain of Accidents

High-speed rail dispatching + chains of accidents + split-second rescues + technical workplace drama. After Cheng Yue insists on reporting an anomaly "with no fault code," he is demoted to the quietest night-shift dispatching desk. In the early hours, as a torrential rain falls, a high-speed train full of passengers is about to pass through Switch No. 9. Cheng Yue sees a red chain of accidents that no one else can see: a loose bolt, a delayed track-circuit upload, and a read-back skipped under pressure will converge into the same runaway disaster at the head of a river-crossing bridge in ninety seconds. He cannot see the entire future, nor can he halt the whole line based on a hunch. He can only use schedules, surveillance footage, equipment data, and actual commands to cut off each link one by one. From a single train to the entire rail network, Cheng Yue must ensure that every "near miss" leaves a record. But when an old accident from three years ago, one for which his father was made the scapegoat, reveals the same gap in the archived data, its trail leads straight to every train running on time today.
