Bao Zixuan no longer meets the function of small CNC machine tools, although it is very convenient, but it cannot process large-scale parts. As a result, many projects cannot be carried out, just like many small machine tools cannot produce their own parts.

If RB had imposed an embargo on his parts that day, he wouldn't have even replaced them, and he would have to use large machine tools to produce large models of Transformers, so it would be impossible for him to process them with RB in the United States!

After seeing the sweetness of the limited edition, he thought about how to produce a batch of Transformers limited editions as well, which could only be designed to be life-size and then placed in the offices and bedrooms of many mechanical enthusiasts. And the material must be titanium alloy.

may have been an aircraft engine engineer in his previous life, and Bao Zixuan has a soft spot for titanium alloys. If he had to choose between gold and titanium metal, he would not hesitate to choose titanium metal. And to make such a large Transformers metal strength is sufficient, the density must be absolutely light, throughout all metals, only metal titanium is the most suitable. This magic metal with the same volume is lighter than aluminum and harder than steel, but there is also a problem, that is, there are only two countries with a large number of minerals in the entire metal titanium, one is the Soviet Union and the other is Huaxia. Titanium metal is a strategic resource in any country, and it is difficult to get an export share. Now you can only buy it through the black market, which is not available in large quantities and is extremely expensive.

At present, it is only possible to go through the black market, which should be alleviated by 1980. But now the top priority is to solve the problem of machine tools, Bao Zixuan has thought of a way, but must turn to Brumman, the god of CNC machine tools, many countries in the previous life have successfully transformed in this way, that is, to use the old machine tools in World War II to modernize, so that they can be controlled by computers. If Bao Zixuan wants to buy large CNC machine tools, it is difficult to transport them to Xiangjiang, but old machine tools are a different matter, after all, many developed countries are transforming to digitalization, and these grandfather old guys are almost useless, most of them will be put in the warehouse to eat ash or disposed of as scrap iron.

In Professor Broman's laboratory, Bao Zixuan shared his thoughts with him, mainly about the transformation of old machine tools.

Bluman: "Bag, your idea is theoretically feasible, but at the same time very dangerous. Do you know what it means to succeed!"

Bao Zixuan: "After success, my company can not be restricted by large machine tool companies, can produce its own CNC machine tools, and we will do better." What do you say?"

Broman: "Most of the old machine tools we use to change are produced in Germany, Japan and Italy, especially the German machines are not bad in terms of accuracy until now. Under the operation of an excellent old German mechanic, it can even be equivalent to our most advanced CNC machine tools, although there are very few such technicians, to be exact, there are only a few in the world, but after you replace it with a computer, it may change dramatically, the Soviet Union took over the most German machines that year, if this achievement is achieved by them, it is not good for the US national defense. ”

Bao Zixuan: "I didn't think about it so much, I just didn't want to be controlled by others, but even if we don't develop technology, we won't make progress! No, Edison desperately suppressed alternating current, but in the end! Now almost all electricity is alternating current." Technological progress is a must, and we can't stop it, and we can't stop it. ”

Broadman: "It's not impossible, but we need to get the cooperation of Professor Kevin Bowman. He is the only one in the world who can help us with this research, and to be honest, I don't have much interest in that. This does not play a role in the promotion of science and technology, but as an enterprise, it can indeed bring huge economic benefits. ”

Bao Zixuan: "There are a lot of people like MIT, why do you have to find Professor Bowman!"

Bluman: "Professor Baumann's grandfather used to be the chief engineer of Lane Metal, and he has a lot of important information about German machine tools, although many of them can be put in museums, but these guys think that those are the shining pearls of German industrial science and technology will definitely be kept, you can go to him." ”

After communicating with Professor Brughman for a while, where to start with the transformation of the old machine tool is more reasonable, Bao Zixuan took a box of Moutai and prepared to go to Professor Bowman's house. After all, it's dinner time, and Professor Bowman is a favorite drinker at MIT, and the titanium version of the Walkman was also given to Professor Bowman last time, otherwise I'm really embarrassed to find someone. Bao Zixuan didn't like the American wine very much, so he asked Xiangjiang Heiyun Company to purchase a large number of Moutai and Wuliangye and put them in the warehouse, and when he had the opportunity to go to the mainland in the future, he must buy more. It's very face-saving to drink it decades later. And part of it was flown to the United States.

Professor Bowman's home is about 1.5 kilometres from MIT, which is why he likes to cycle to work.

The door was opened by a typical girl of Germanic descent, with a little freckles on her face, white and red skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, after all, Professor Baumann and his wife were German immigrants. It's New Year's holidays, and it's normal for daughters to be around.

"Hello, who are you, who are you looking for?" asked the Germanic maiden.

Bao Zixuan: "Hello, I'm Bao Zixuan, a student of Professor Bowman, and I came here today to find him for something. ”

At this time, Professor Bowman's voice came from inside, "Who is it? ”

"It's one of your students, named Bao Zixuan. Eva replied.

Professor Bowman: "Let him in!"

Eva took Bao Zixuan to the living room. A typical American upper-middle-income family, a detached villa, the living room is about 40 square meters, Professor Bowman sits on a leather sofa reading a book, and his wife is busy in the kitchen.

Professor Bowman: "Bag, why are you here?" What a thing?"

Bao Zixuan: "Isn't it nothing, come and see you! I know that you like to drink, so I brought you some Chinese wine." ”

Professor Bowman: "I'm too embarrassed to accept it if other students bring it, but it's a different matter if you give it." "Hahahaha," to introduce you, this is my daughter, Eva Bowman, who is now studying photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York. This is my student, Bao Zixuan. That walkman of yours was given by him, and it was produced by their company, don't you want to thank them! ”

Bao Zixuan knew that this school could rank among the top three in the world in terms of photography, but he didn't expect Professor Bowman's daughter to like photography. And Eva Bowman was even more shocked. The last time Professor Bowman sent her a gift before Christmas, Eva didn't pay attention to it at first, after all, the old-fashioned father had never given her a gift to her heart's content since she was a child. But when he opened it, he was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a Walkman that had been overwhelmingly reported these days. I didn't expect the old man to finally open his mind and choose a gift.

When his roommate got his Walkman, he asked her if she could sell it for $10,000. It made him feel strange that his roommate was a tech enthusiast. I told her that this is a limited edition of black cloud titanium alloy, and it is No. 006, the kind of machine in the top ten is almost not sold on the market, and almost all of those who can get this kind of machine have a very important relationship with Black Cloud Company, such as product designers, spokespersons and important agents, but many people get it and don't put it on the market, which can't be bought with money.

And the roommate learned that Eva's father was actually a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, so he understood, and asked Eva to help her buy a titanium version of the Walkman, it didn't matter if she spent a little more money. After the news leaked, more and more people came to Aiwa, all of whom asked her to help buy a limited edition Walkman, and the students who came to New York to study photography and other art majors can be said to be from wealthy families all over the world, otherwise you can't afford that set of equipment alone.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's arrival, he suddenly felt that the opportunity had come, and he didn't say it yet! I didn't expect you to deliver it to the door by himself! Then you won't be able to run. Eva Bowman was planning in her heart.
