(250703) -- CHONGQING, July 3, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on April 27, 2023 shows a four-head screed robot working at the construction site of Chongqing East Railway Station in southwest China's Chongqing. As the new section of the Chongqing-Xiamen high-speed railway, from Chongqing to Qianjiang, officially opened a week ago, the key hub along this route, Chongqing East Railway Station, was also put into operation.

From obtaining the design blueprints in May 2022 to its official inauguration, it has taken 38 months to complete what is now the largest high-speed rail station in west China. Behind this monumental construction project are a group of unsung heroes -- robots.
