Bonn, the capital of West Germany, is a well-known historical city in Germany, where the famous musician Beethoven was born, and Marx, the founder of another human ideology, also studied in Bonn for many years. With more than 300,000 inhabitants, it is one of the few large cities in West Germany. Liang Yuan always had a strange feeling when he looked at the introduction of Bonn in the plane travel manual, a large city with a population of 300,000, for Chinese, the name of a big city is closely associated with millions of people.
In the early morning of local time, the uncle and nephew, who had been floating in the sky for 12 hours, finally got off the plane. Liang Haiping was pulled by Liang Yuan, went through the immigration procedures smoothly all the way, and when he got out of the airport, Liang Yuan yawned and said to the taxi driver: "Go to the International House Hotel on Friedrichstrasse." "The International House is located in a century-old building in the heart of Bonn. Adolf Waller Karl, a German engineer who lived in Liang Yuan's company in his last life, highly recommended this hotel in his hometown to Liang Yuan, and in Karl's words, you will experience the original German style here.
Bonn is one of the greenest cities in Europe, with flowers and plants all year round, and the city is very clean and fresh. Although it was night, through the little lights, you can see that the whole city is hidden in a green shade, the taxi driver Duncan is very curious about Liang Yuan, who can speak the local accent German, and Liang Yuan chatted happily along the way, after learning that Liang Yuan is from a distant ancient country in the East, ready to go to the GDR, he enthusiastically provided the bus and flight to Leipzig. After arriving at the hotel, Duncan left a phone number for Liang Yuan, and he could be greeted at any time by car in Bonn.
The International House Hotel is not large, only three floors in total, a typical Gothic spire building, standing downstairs you can see a small terrace outside each room, full of authentic German architectural style. After completing the check-in procedures, the waitress at the front desk on the floor looked at the two of them with an oriental face, and specially reminded the restaurant on the first floor to provide sushi for breakfast, and the exhausted Liang Yuan was unable to correct the difference between the service lady Chinese and Japanese, and climbed into the room and fell asleep without even taking a shower.
After a dreamless night, Liang Yuan, who woke up naturally, slowly regained consciousness, feeling the cold air on his arm and the cool quilt on his body, Liang Yuan seemed to have returned to the kennel in Shengjing in his previous life. Suddenly he opened his eyes, and the German-style wooden window frames with complicated decorations came into view, but fortunately, I thought I was wearing them back again. I have to admit that the comfort of this bed is the closest to the previous life.
Liang Yuan looked at his watch, it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning, and as soon as he turned over on the bed, he heard Liang Haiping say, "Xiaoyuan is awake." β
"Uncle got up so early?"
"How can you be like you, heartless. Uncle woke up at six o'clock and couldn't sleep. β
Liang Yuan stretched hard, yawned and said, "Don't worry, uncle, if there is a chance, uncle will see our ultimate goal of coming to Germany in Bonn." β
After getting up and washing, Liang Yuan took Liang Haiping downstairs to eat breakfast, entered the restaurant and the waiter really took a Japanese-style menu, the Japanese in 87 are waving the yen cow B coaxing to buy the world, Liang Yuan has no heart to correct the waiter's mistakes, just 20 years later, it will be the turn of the Chinese who coaxed Niu B to wave the banknotes of various countries to buy the world, and then things like palace fried chicken will also climb on the breakfast menu of this hotel.
Liang Haiping and Liang Yuan shook off their cheeks and killed five or six servings of sushi under the waiter's slightly surprised gaze, ate another German sausage, and drank two bowls of corn soup. When he was about to leave the restaurant, Liang Yuan burped loudly, looked at the waiter's somewhat disdainful gaze, Liang Yuan smiled slightly, and worked hard to squeeze out a loud fart, raised his chin at the waiter, and walked out.
Liang Haiping looked at his nephew desperately smearing the image of the Japanese, smiled, and thought to himself that he didn't know where this little guy got so much mess.
After breakfast, Liang Yuan, who had a clear idea, called Duncan and picked up the two to go to Bonn train station.
The reddish-brown Bonn Central Station is a typical Romance building with a well-defined faΓ§ade, semicircular doors and windows with barrel arcades, light grey cross-vaulted corners, and low Baroque towers. Walking into the station, Liang Yuan found that the interior of the station did not use the curved dome of the domestic high-speed rail station in later generations, which was so high that people looked up, but used a large area of flat-topped hanging shed, with milky white lighting, giving people a thick, warm and stable feeling.
Germany is currently divided, so there is only one train a day to Leipzig in East Germany, and after showing his passport, Liang Yuan bought two tickets to Leipzig at the manual ticket office. Riding the rolling ladder to the second floor of the station, the two of them found a position by the window and sat down, and Liang Yuan looked at the railway line under his feet from time to time through the glass window.
West Germany's quasi-high-speed intercity railway network has been in operation for seven years, with trains from Bonn to Munich, Bonn to Frankfurt, and Bonn to Cologne passing every half hour.
A few minutes later, an intercity train pulled by a Type 103 electric locomotive slowly drove into Bonn Station, Liang Haiping looked at Liang Yuan staring at the round-headed and round-headed Type 103 locomotive in the distance and asked, "This is the ultimate goal you are talking about?"
Liang Yuan shook his head and said: "No, this locomotive is a West German 103 series electric locomotive, and the entire series is driven by a DC motor, which is outdated." β
Liang Yuan waited for countless trains to enter and leave the station, but he didn't see the 120 electric locomotive he was expecting.
Two hours later, at the prompting of the announcer, Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping came to the platform and waited for the Cologne-Leipzig train to enter the station. The two of them had just found a waiting position according to the car number of the ticket, and a dark red painted nose with a slight curved front appeared at the end of the railway. Liang Yuan recognized this epoch-making railway locomotive at a glance.
Dragged Liang Haiping, Liang Yuan, who was a little excited, said: "Uncle, I am talking about this nose." β
Liang Haiping stretched his neck and looked at it for a while and said, "Uncle looks at the shape is a little more square than the one just now, and I don't see anything different."
Liang Yuan said with a smile: "This 120 locomotive is the world's first electric locomotive driven by a three-phase AC motor, which has just been successfully developed by West Germany. The advantages and disadvantages of AC motors and DC motors should be known. β
Liang Haiping, who has worked the bottom of the car and the internal combustion shunting machine after contracting the overhaul factory, nodded and said: "The AC motor does not have a commutator and brush, and there is basically no need for maintenance, and the service life and manufacturing cost are much stronger than that of the DC motor." In addition, if it is driven by an AC motor, the curb weight of the locomotive will be much lighter. β
"But this nose is from West Germany, Xiaoyuan, aren't you going to East Germany to introduce technology?" Liang Haiping asked suspiciously
"That's why this locomotive is our ultimate goal in Germany. Uncle, don't worry, I'll get this thing sooner or later, just wait for the production. Liang Yuan said mysteriously.
