In Liu Lang's previous life, Volkswagen entered China in the early eighties, but it was not until the first car, that is, the first generation of Santner, came out, that it would not succeed until the nineties, and nearly ten years were constantly engaged in localization, which was a "pain" The process, even if Volkswagen did not hand over the core technology, just handed over the simplest parts to state-owned enterprises, but still stumped the enterprise, screw-sized parts can not be made, the body can not be done, the tires can not be made, the saddle can not be done, and finally only the antenna on the car can be made, but the standard is not good, in short, in front of the world's most advanced automobile companies, the country is worthless.

To this end, the machine tool factories and supporting factories throughout the country began to study these parts and components, and improved the refinement of the production line, until the nineties, the supporting products reached the standard of Volkswagen, and the first joint venture Santena car reached the nationalization rate of 80 percent.

Volkswagen later made a lot of money in China, and at the same time, it also brought huge changes to the country's industrial system, improved the country's technical level through the nationalization rate of automobiles, and directly cultivated a group of related talents, and also created a cooperation method for later joint ventures: if you want to enter China, then hand over the technology for us to do, but this method is still very superficial in Liu Lang's view, and does not let the country master the most core technology, such as automobile engine technology.

Of course, foreigners are not stupid, and of course this kind of technology related to the lifeblood of the country will not be handed over to you, but if the other party does not give it to the countrymen, won't they secretly learn it? It's just that the Chinese people were too real at that time and didn't think of going deeper.

"Professor, this news is very important! It seems that we have time to go to Shanghai, and meet those Germans for a while!"

Liu Lang was thoughtful.

"Why?"

Xiong Huaizhi was puzzled.

"Volkswagen's nationalization rate can not be done in Shanghai, it needs all the factories of the whole country to do, and I think that we can take this opportunity to introduce a number of advanced machine tools from Germany, which is definitely a great opportunity to improve the level of industrialization!"

Liu Lang's thinking is much more profound than Xiong Huaizhi's.

Volkswagen's nationalization rate in China was slow, and it took nearly a decade to complete, mainly because the state-owned enterprises were not at a high level and could not build them if they wanted to.

And if you want to manufacture high-end parts, machine tools are of course the most important, the country's most advanced machine tools are also imported from the Soviet Union in the early sixties, and later developed some of their own on this basis, what lathes, planers, milling machines, Punch and so on, in the kind of absolutely not bad, in addition to CNC machine tools foreign countries have the basic domestic have, that is, the technology is too backward, the degree of refinement is too low, and foreign countries have been large-scale use of CNC machine tools, the control system is electronic, of course, because the computer has not yet been applied, at this time the CNC machine tool can not be compared with more than ten years later, but in the degree of refinement is more than ten times that of domestic machine tools.

Liu Lang feels that the gap between the country and foreign countries in the machine tool is not too big, if you catch up, it is still expected to shorten the distance within ten years, and when the computer-controlled machine tool is popularized, it is more difficult to catch up.

Now the world's industrial structure has not entered the period of change, foreign machine tools at best in the electronic system is stronger than the domestic one, the biggest gap between the two sides is the gap between manual control and electronic control, the gap is not too disparity, it is also in the same straight road, and the computer-controlled industrialization change is a big bend, timely change will use this big bend to accelerate driving, no change will be thrown away at once,

If countries accelerate their progress, they may be able to get closer to the West before the industrialized change, and then accelerate when they change, narrowing the gap again, or even surpassing each other.

And the computer control as the core of the industrialization change from now is still ten years away, the country in the industry must firmly use this time to accelerate the progress, this is the reason for the curve overtaking, and to overtake the curve, the first thing to do is to upgrade the national machine tool, the workshop type machine tool to upgrade to the level of electronic system control.

Liu Lang has an idea, which is to use the localization project of Volkswagen to accelerate the evolution of relevant enterprises across the country.

"ABB doesn't know what's going on?

Liu Lang frowned and kept thinking about .........!

The replacement and upgrading of machine tools is a long-term problem, and the manufacture of stainless steel smelting furnaces is close to success.

At the end of December of '84, when the last part was successfully assembled, the country's first medium-sized stainless steel metallurgical furnace was officially developed.

This is a historic event for the country, the leaders of the relevant departments have come in person to witness this historic scene, this stainless steel smelting furnace is more than four meters high, the power reaches 2,000 kilowatts, and can smelt two tons of high-quality stainless steel per hour.

With the order of Professor Xiong Huaizhi, the smelting furnace was injected with high-calorie coal and coke, and the internal furnace was suddenly filled with a raging fire, and then all the components began to operate, and a large amount of argon-oxygen mixed gas was injected into the argon oxygen furnace, and the steel in the furnace became red after high temperature, and melted into molten iron after a few minutes, and then injected into a door-shaped mold after decarburization, annealing and tempering.

More than forty minutes later, a stainless steel gate was forged.

Everyone present cheered, in the past few months, everyone has worked hard day and night, some people have not even returned home, and now everyone's efforts have finally paid off, excited, sad, all kinds of complex emotions welled up in their hearts, and many people shed tears.

"Minister Li, the whole process was a complete success, this is the first high-quality stainless steel door in our country!"

Xiong Huaizhi pointed to the silver-white door to suppress his excitement and said.

"Okay, great, great, you have made a great contribution to the industrial construction of our country, and I want to ask for credit for you!"

Li Changtian, minister of the Ministry of Industry, was also very excited.

"It's not easy, it's not easy!"

Liu Lang also breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, this is not only the credit of these people, without the help of those machine tool factories, the smelting furnace would not have been successfully manufactured in such a short period of time, it can be said that this is the credit of all the industrial people in the country.
