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.

On the plane John. Martin looked at the introduction of Bonn in the airplane travel brochure, and the purpose of his trip with Navalli was to attend the Leipzig International Fair in the GDR in August.

At the senior management meeting held in Hong Kong in May, Ling Shizhe proposed the decision to introduce DBME-B standard double-decker buses and DBME-A single-decker buses, as well as Type 242 alternated electric locomotives to the GDR, so Martin and Navalli made this trip to Germany.

The GDR is a socialist country, and it is not easy for a businessman from a capitalist country to enter this country, first of all, you must first apply to your own government to explain the purpose of this trip, and when the diplomatic staff of the Canadian government heard that the purpose of their trip was to introduce locomotives to the GDR, their faces were stunned.

In their consistent impression, in addition to military products, the red countries are synonymous with backwardness in civilian industrial products, and the Ambrera Company, which is one of the representatives of enterprises in the advanced developed countries in the West, actually introduced locomotive manufacturing technology to backward countries, which makes them look strange.

This is not a single one in the history of the West, and one of them is that they have imported technology from us, and how can it be reversed today.

The Ambrera staff who went to apply were also full of helplessness, who called Bombardier's train manufacturing department too weak in technical strength, which Joseph-ArmandBombardier didn't know what to think, a good motorcycle business is not done, but what kind of train to do, the technical foundation is too thin, and everything has to rely on others.

If you want to introduce technology from a Western pioneer train company, they will ignore you at all and even give you a chance to talk, so Ambrera has no choice but to seek other ways to see if she can introduce train manufacturing technology to the countries of the red camp.

Bombardier in the 70s, like Chinese companies in the 80s and 90s, everything depends on the face of Western companies, cooperation is possible, there is no way to want technology, and in the end, no matter what it is, it has to break through by itself.

Since Ling Shizhe acquired Bombardier, he still has some ways to deal with the aircraft project and motorcycles, but the railway train has blinded him. One is that he had never touched this thing in his previous life; Second, Bombardier's train technology is also too weak.

Under the reluctance to do so, Ling Shizhe remembered the method of the later republic, introduced and absorbed, and once again pushed it into a new one.

The Class 242 locomotive and DBME train are his sights, and Ling's plan is to bring in the technology and design new metro buses to meet the needs of the Canadian metro market, and then market them to Hong Kong and other developing countries.

At the same time, Ambrera decided to install advanced computers on the Class 242 locomotive and DBME series coaches, and launched the world's first fully digitized train, in order to pry into the train market in European countries.

If this method doesn't work, Ling Shizhe will start the second plan, like the high-speed rail study in later generations, first sell to developing countries, and then sell it to European countries step by step if it succeeds.

In the early morning of local time, the two finally got off the plane after 12 hours in the sky.

After leaving the airport, he met Linus, an employee of the Ambreela Side branch, and after getting into the car, he took the two to the International House Hotel on Friedrichstrasse, which had been booked by the branch.

Bonn is one of the greenest cities in Europe, with flowers and plants all year round, and the city is very clean and fresh.

Even at night, the city is covered in greenery through the lights, and Linus introduces Bonn's historical and cultural monuments, as well as trains and flights to Leipzig.

Linus, who was born and raised in Germany, was the translator arranged by the German branch for the duo, so Linus will also accompany them on this trip to Leipzig.

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, Linus sent the two to the room, and left his mailing address before leaving, the two were already exhausted from the flight for more than ten hours, and after climbing into the room, they went to bed without even taking a shower.

After a dreamless night, Martin got up early the next morning, went to the bathroom to take a shower, put on his suit and planned to go out for breakfast.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw that Navali had just come out of his room.

The two said hello to each other and went downstairs for breakfast together.

After eating, Martin called Linas and picked up the two to take them to the Bonn train station.

The reddish-brown Bonn Central Station is a typical Romance building with a well-defined façade, semicircular doors and windows with barrel arcades, light grey cross-vaulted corners, and low Baroque towers. The three of them walked into the station and found that a large area of flat-roofed hanging houses was used inside the station, which gave people a thick, warm and stable feeling with the milky white lighting.

Germany is currently divided, so there is only one train a day to Leipzig in East Germany, and after showing their passports, the trio bought three tickets to Leipzig at a manual ticket office.

Riding the elevator to the second floor of the station, the two of them found a window position and sat down, looking at the railway line under their feet from time to time through the glass window.

Germany's high-speed rail technology reserves are no less than France's, and in 1988 their electric traction test speed exceeded the 400 km/h mark, reaching 406.9 km/h. But at this time, West Germany did not talk about high-speed rail, and even the quasi-high-speed railway network had just begun, but in order to show the socialist countries the superiority of a free country, the railway line from Bonn to Leipzig was the first to start construction, and it was only recently opened to traffic.

Two hours later, the three of them arrived on the platform at the prompting of the announcer and waited for the train from Bonn to Leipzig to enter the station.

The three of them had just found a waiting position according to the carriage number of the ticket, and a dark red painted machine with a round head and a round head appeared at the end of the railway.

Navali had always kept an eye on the latest locomotive technology in the world, so he immediately recognized it as a German Class 103 railway locomotive.

The car was driven by a straight-straight electric motor, and at the 1965 International Transport Exhibition in Munich, the West German government first demonstrated a prototype of the 103 locomotive.

By May 27, 1970, the first batch of Type 103 locomotives, the 103.1, was officially put into service. On the new intercity rail system, the Class 103 locomotive can tow 400-ton trains at speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour, and also serve as a towing task for the Pan-European express trains.

Due to the fact that there were few routes in Germany that supported 200 km/h at the time, and the pace of construction of high-speed lines was very slow, the 103 Series was rarely able to reach the top speed in operation in the early days of its service.

At first, Navali suggested the introduction of the car, but Ling Shizhe gave it a no, one is that the car uses a direct-straight motor drive technology, which is already behind the times, and the car's braking and turf systems are not very stable, the car does not look at the speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour, but the 103 type electric locomotive is completely a political product.

In the decade after World War II, Deutsche Bahn was committed to electrification and wanted to build new, standardized electric locomotives to replace the older models running on the road.

The first relevant plan was to improve the 19 series locomotive developed before the war (top speed of 180 km/h), but this plan was abandoned due to the obsolescence of the vehicle design and the instability of the braking system.

The plan was to build a Co'Co locomotive with a maximum speed of 200 km/h. Some of the components and technologies used in the new locomotive, such as high-speed bogies, were tested on the body of the E10 electric locomotive, which was in use at the time.

Since the GDR was also engaged in high-speed trains, the West German government insisted that the new locomotive be equipped with a more powerful engine, and the car had been problematic from the day it was put into operation.

On July 21, 1971, a train towed by 103 Series 106 derailed while in motion, resulting in a tragic accident in which 23 people were killed and 121 injured.

It is suspected that the locomotive's overspeeding and brake failure were the main culprits in this tragedy. As a result, the 103 series locomotives were limited to the use of top speeds during driving.

It was not until 1987, when the new generation of German 120.1 locomotives was born, that the 103 locomotive withdrew from history.

In Ling Shizhe's plan, after the introduction of the 242 electric locomotive, the Canadian version of the 120 series electric locomotive will be developed based on the planning of the protagonist in the novel he read in his previous life.

I remember that in the novel I saw in my previous life, it was said that the 120 series electric locomotive has an important significance in the history of the development of electric locomotives in Germany, and on the 120 locomotive, German engineers tested the modular manufacturing mode for the first time, installed an electronic speed limit system, a new brake control system and a series of new locomotive technologies.

The most important thing is that the 120 locomotive is equipped with a three-phase asynchronous motor and a GTO converter for motor control, so that the transmission of the electric locomotive has changed from the traditional AC-straight type to the AC-DC transmission that surpasses the AC-DC transmission in all directions. Later, with Deutsche Bahn sweeping Europe, the 101 series electric locomotive was developed on the basis of the 120 series.

Although this locomotive was good, only 65 were built in Germany, and it was originally planned to build 1,000 120 series electric locomotives, but the 120 locomotive was discontinued after the privatization of Deutsche Bahn.

The reason was that the economic efficiency of the 120 locomotive was too low, and the durability and reliability of the locomotive were simply too poor compared to the 240 series locomotive produced in the GDR.

In terms of Ambrera's current train technology, the introduction of this model from the old technology to the new technology is the most cost-effective, from which we can see the fundamental ideas of many Germans in locomotive design, but unfortunately the 120 locomotive has not yet appeared at this time, and the first prototype will not be built in 1979 at the earliest, even if it comes out, others may not give it, so in the end the idea can only be put on the 242 locomotive.
