Chapter 39 Future Locomotive Platform
Liang Yuan’s plan for Reed Iron 120 series electric locomotives is the kind of thing that is worth it no matter what the price is..././
In the history of the development of electric locomotives in Germany, the 120 series of electric locomotives has the importance of inheriting the past and starting the future. On the 120 type locomotive, German engineers tested the modular manufacturing model for the first time, installed a series of new locomotive technologies such as electronic speed limiting systems and new brake control systems. The most important thing is that the 120 type locomotive is equipped with three-phase asynchronous motors and a gto converter for motor control, making the transmission of the electric locomotive from the traditional inter-straight type (Note 1) to the all-round inter-straight type (Note 2). In the future, the 101 series of electric locomotives that swept across Europe with Germany-Train was developed on the basis of the 120 series.
Based on the domestic technical foundation, it is the most cost-effective to introduce this model that leaps from old technology to new technology. From this, we can see the fundamental ideas of many Germans in motorcycle design. For example, the tutu is now at the elementary school level. If you work hard, you may be able to study and understand the problems in middle school. If you give him calculus from university, you will actually get nothing except learning to copy the answers. Look at the South Korean Luo Lao Rocket and China's independent CPU, real scientific research must not be too ambitious.
Unfortunately, I can only drool at the moment when I watch the 120 locomotive. The cost of a 120 electric locomotive is almost as high as four Spey engines. Liang Yuan can't afford to do it now.
The two of them got on the train. Liang Haiping looked at the carriage that looked like an airplane cabin and sighed: "Xiaoyuan, is this good enough for the underside of the train we introduced to East Germany?"
Liang Yuan pointed to the electronic display screens at both ends of the car and said, "The luxury is almost the same. It is definitely not as good as the details."
The distance between Bonn and Leipzig is about 500 kilometers. After the reunification of the two Germans in the New Century, it took more than an hour to take the ICE express train, but it is different now. The train between Bonn and Cassel ran very fast under the traction of the 120 locomotive. Liang Yuan saw the electronic display screens at both ends of the carriage, which had a maximum speed of 195 kilometers per hour. Two hours later, the train passed through the city of Cassel and slowly drove into the Gotha Customs in Democratic Germany.
The train stopped at Gotha Customs for about thirty minutes, changed the towing nose, checked the passport, and restarted after the train ticket. After entering East Germany, Liang Yuan obviously felt that the train speed had slowed down. He looked up at the display screens that had been blacked out at both ends of the carriage. Liang Yuan sighed helplessly.
From Peking, Liang Yuan struggled for more than 30 hours. He had only entered the land of democratic Germany. There was no direct flight between East Germany and China, which were both socialist camps. To visit the class brothers in a camp, they had to enter from the corrupt class enemy West Germany. Things in the world are so nonsense. The so-called ideology and belief disputes are ultimately profits.
The 350-kilometer mileage train in West Germany ran for 2 hours, and the 150-kilometer mileage train between Leipzig after entering East Germany also ran for 2 hours. The decadent capitalism really only rushes to the road and does not care about the suffering of the people.
During the German Empire, Leipzig was famous for its expositions. After the founding of the Democratic Republic of Germany in 49, Leipzig became the second largest city in East Germany. During the Cold War, Leipzig exhibitions each year became a large-scale trade negotiation meeting between the members of the Warsaw Pact Mutual Economic Association.
After Gorbachev of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union proposed a new thinking in 1986, the Leipzig exhibition also changed, and some West German companies tried to participate in the exhibition in the spring Leipzig exhibition.
After getting off the train, Liang Yuan pulled Liang Haiping to the front and took a look. As expected, the locomotive to the Gotha Customs traction vehicle has been replaced by the original West German 120 locomotive to the East German 243 locomotive with red and white painted. Liang Yuan blinked to the square-headed and square-headed 243 locomotive and said, "Uncle, this head is called the 243 electric locomotive, and it is also produced by the unified locomotive consortium. Our goal of coming to East Germany this time is this guy with square-headed and square-headed besides the double-decker bottom."
Liang Haiping glanced a few times and said, "This thing is really not that good. Not only does it run slowly, it also looks ugly than that 120 model."
Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Uncle, that's your fault. This thing is much better than the domestic SS3 series electric locomotives."
In 1988, China's first heavy-duty railway was carried out for coal transportation in Shanxi Province. The Daqin Railway is about to be completed and opened for operation. Unfortunately, domestic electric locomotives cannot shoulder the traction task in terms of quantity and quality. Therefore, in 1985, the Ministry of Railways spent 300 million US dollars to custom-built 150 8k electric locomotives and technical patents from the famous European 50 Hertz Group (Note 3).
Liang Haiping said in confusion: "Xiaoyuan, the Ministry of Railways has spent more than one billion to introduce such low-speed electric locomotives in developed countries. What else should we introduce him to do?"
The Ministry of Railways once widely publicized in China that the customized 8k locomotives gathered excellent technologies in the world at that time, such as the electronic control system and GTO auxiliary inverter of the Swiss Bronn Bauveli Company, the bogie of the French Electric Traction Equipment Company, the transmission gear box of the AEG, the main transformer of Siemens, the traction motor and auxiliary motor, etc.
In Liang Yuan's opinion, the 8k motorcycle is a complete hodgepodge, and it is comparable to the Indian LCA fighter.
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "My uncle knows the current trend in society. Many people think that the moon in the West is rounder than that in China, and the things in socialist countries are completely backward. When the electric locomotive technology was introduced, the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries were not considered by the Ministry of Railways at all."
"Unfortunately, science and technology are not transferred by the will of the leader. That 8k motorcycle is simply a bullshit. Uncle, think about it, what can be cooked by taking it out alone? "
"No way? Can the leader not see such a simple question?" Liang Haiping's answer also brought the simplicity unique to the Chinese people in the 1980s.
Liang Yuan was choked by the simple Liang Haiping and had nothing to say. The 8k motorcycle was not retained as a platform for sustainable development at all. It was just that some fragmented advanced technologies were digested and used on the domestic "ss" series of electric motorcycles. By the 21st century, the vast Chinese people waved their money and repurchased railway nose technology all over the world.
"Uncle, let me tell you, don't look at the inconspicuous 243 machine head, this thing is definitely better than the 8k you made in the department." Liang Yuan said firmly.
After the reunification of the two Germans, the 243 locomotive was modernized from West Germany, and the electronic anti-slip device and gearbox were simply replaced. The maximum speed of the 243 model was increased to 169 km/h. What made Liang Yuan most excited was its long service life and high reliability. Before Liang Yuan passed through, the German-Trade 103 and 120 series locomotives, which had long been retired due to various problems. More than 600 243 models were still busy on the German freight line in Germany as always.
The competition between vehicles in later generations was a competition of platforms. Taking General General of the United States as an example, General Electric in the 21st century bid for the C44-9 internal diesel locomotives on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In fact, it was gradually improved and developed in the early 1980s, the c36-7 internal diesel locomotives introduced by the Tubi, and the parts exchange rate of the two vehicles was as high as 68%. Of course, this kind of slap in the face was solved by the Ministry of Railways.
The improvement model of the small step fast running that the Tubi Navy adopts on an excellent platform is the king of technology digestion and introduction.
Therefore, in Liang Yuan's eyes, there is no more suitable for the nose of the original platform than the East Germany 243 electric locomotive.
Liang Haiping smiled and said, "I just heard you blow the West German 120 motorcycle to the sky a few hours ago. Now you say that the 243 model is so good. My uncle sees that your plan is no different from the 8k motorcycle in the department."
"Oh, uncle, the difference is very big. I mean, based on the 243 type, digesting the excellent parts of the 120 locomotive, such as AC motor transmission, new brake system, etc. and 8k are completely two different ways. The department is simply pieced together..." Liang Yuan kept whispering the Ministry of Railways.
"Okay, okay, I'm sure, I believe you anyway, so I'll do whatever you say." Liang Haiping rubbed Liang Yuan's hair and said.
Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Young uncle, we are just poor people, we are not comparable to the wealth and wealth of the tribe. We can only buy some backward goods from the poor guys."
The two left the platform and followed the overpass to exit the railway station. Standing in front of the square of Leipzig Station, Liang Yuan looked at the map in his hand for a while and said, "Uncle, let's go to the Third Hotel in Leipzig, which is very close to the exhibition hall. The economic and trade group will also live nearby tomorrow.
On the right side of the square in front of the station were a neat row of East German-made Trabant taxis. The two walked over and got into the car. Liang Yuan pointed to the map to explain the location. The driver made a clear gesture and raised his hand to start the car. The funny two-stroke engine of Trabant first roared, then rushed suddenly, and the taxi left after a stream of blue smoke.
The sign of sickle and axe flashed from time to time outside the car window. Portraits of Walter Ubrich, the first-generation leader of East Germany, can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street. Slowly round heads and round brain-shaped double-joint buses were thrown behind them, and Volga cars that often passed by the opposite side. Although the styles of the buildings and the skin colors of the people around them were different, the familiar atmosphere still made Liang Yuan feel like he was in China.
The Third Hotel Leipzig is a 12-story Soviet-style auditorium-style building with light gray wall tiles on the outside. Large areas of trees are planted seven or eight meters away from the building. The light gray building looks very elegant and solemn under the shade of green. The taxi parked directly in front of the revolving door on the first floor through the driveway. Two people entered the hall. Liang Yuan first went to the front desk to check in. Since the Chinese Prime Minister had just finished his state visit to Democratic Germany in July, Liang Yuan was accurately identified by the front desk on the floor. Unfortunately, the hotel does not provide Chinese food at all.
After entering the room, Liang Haiping looked around but couldn't find the air conditioner. He turned on the electric fan in the corner of the wall and said, "Xiaoyuan, this hotel looks quite bright, but when he moved in, he felt that it was far worse than the one in Bonn."
Liang Yuan almost laughed, thinking that my uncle's words were so philosophical. Dongde and this hotel are really similar now.
"Uncle, we went out for a walk and went to the nearby shops. You will know what's going on when you come back." Liang Yuan said with a smile. (Your support from this site.com is my greatest motivation.)
