With an exhibition area of more than 6,000 square meters, Leipzig Hall 1 exhibits more than 200 kinds of large-scale industrial equipment produced in the GDR, including a series of trucks, tractors, rail transit equipment, construction equipment and so on. As soon as I entered the venue, I saw a large steel structure of the IFA logo standing not far from the entrance. Below the sign, a row of ugly and ugly trucks of different models lined up two large rows.

Lenas pointed to the trucks and said: "This is an IFA heavy-duty truck made in the 50s in East Germany, which has not been improved at all for so many years, and it is still the same as it was at the beginning, and the engine is as noisy as a tank." ”

The three of them just took a brief look at the IFA exhibition area and walked to an exhibition area.

After walking through several booths in a row, I finally found the booth of the Unified Locomotive Consortium in the northwest corner, with a number of miniature railroad tracks on the red carpeted booth, and several delicate models of the chassis and nose of the consortium were placed on the rails. In front of each model are stacks of thick product manuals.

The instructions are in English, Navali and John. Martin could understand it and quickly found the information on the Type 242 electric locomotive that pulled him into East Germany.

Type 242 electric locomotive: produced by the Unified Locomotive Consortium of the GDR, driven by the bo'bo' method, installed with four DC traction motors, with a traction power of 3400kw, a maximum speed of 120 km, and a curb weight of 82.5 tons. The newly modified 242-9 locomotive is equipped with a multi-unit train microcomputer control device. The locomotive has the function of automatic fault detection and has high reliability.

Linus shook the manual in his hand at Navali and said, "Sir, how do I feel that this car is very ordinary!" Why did the headquarters introduce it? ”

Navali replied: "The headquarters is interested in its territory and AC-DC motor technology, as well as the high reliability of this car, you must know that Bombardier's motors have always been provided by GE, and they are direct-straight motors, and AC-DC motors are not provided to us at all." ”

"Why don't they provide it?"

"GE wants to get Bombardier out of the way and wants to do business directly with Rail Canada, so if you want not to be controlled, you have to find a way to do it yourself." John. Martin replied.

"Damn ge, it's not about their technology, it's just about buying their products, they're like this, bastard!" Linus scolded.

"It's normal, GE wants to monopolize the North American locomotive market, so ......" Navali made a gesture you understand.

"Aren't they afraid of being sued by the federal Department of Justice for antitrust?"

"They are not afraid, don't forget that GE is not the only company that can produce locomotives in North America, and United Technologies Corporation of the United States also produces locomotives."

Linus said: "Why don't we look for them, but for the GDR? ”

"Bombardier was looking for them before it was annexed, but they were all in the same mind as GE to get rid of us," Navalli said. ”

Linus stopped talking, and looked down at the information in his hand. He has already understood the purpose of the head office here, technically controlled by others, so he has to try his luck here, and the business competition is so cruel.

DBME-B standard double-decker passenger car: produced by the unified locomotive complex of the GDR, the passenger car adopts the integral load-bearing thin-walled cylindrical structure of the non-through middle beam, the use of integral aluminum alloy wide windows, flat exterior wall, the main components of the train are welded and manufactured by high-strength low-carbon alloy steel, the carriage structure speed is 200 km/h, the maximum operating speed is 160 km/h, and the design service life is 30 years. Each carriage is equipped with a self-generating air conditioning device, and the bottom of the carriage is hung with diesel engines, generators, and air conditioners. The second-class 3+2 seating mode without a broadcast room can carry up to 186 people, and the 2+2 seating mode can carry up to 160 people.

DBME-A standard single-decker passenger car: produced by the unified locomotive consortium of the GDR, using AM96 bogies with a high degree of stability, using sealed body steel structure and sealed folding shed windshield, a warehouse inspection operation to meet the requirements of 5000 kilometers without maintenance. The main components meet the requirements of no need to repair within 2 million kilometers, and the maximum operating speed of 2 passenger cars is 200 kilometers per hour, and the maximum operating speed is 160 kilometers per hour. The emergency braking distance (at the initial speed of 120km/h) is not more than 1400 meters, and the maximum number of trains is 19 vehicles.

John. Martin sighed: "These two trains are really good, and they are also very beautiful, but how can we talk about the introduction, directly with the staff here?" ”

"They'll come and contact us, and today we don't have to do anything, just visit." Navali put down the manual and walked to the other exhibition area.

It has to be said that the scientific and technological level of the socialist camp is really average, both in terms of appearance and technological content. If it had not been for the fact that enough information had been collected on the 242 electric locomotive in advance, it would have been impossible to see that the 242 electric locomotive could have been one of the longest-lasting and most reliable locomotive models of Deutsche Bahn.

The three of them walked around Hall 1 for a long time, never saw anything that caught their eyes, and at noon they had a pure German lunch in the restaurant attached to the Convention and Exhibition Center.

In the afternoon, I walked around the second machine exhibition hall for an afternoon before I came out, East German automatic machine tools can not be compared with the intelligent machine tools manufactured by Ambrera Seiko Equipment Company, but this machine tool is much better than the non-CNC machine tools used in Hong Kong and Taiwan / Bay and Southeast Asia, and the price is also very cheap, the three of them want to sell some East German machine tools to Hong Kong, Ambrera has a lot of OEM and spare parts suppliers, such machine tools are very suitable for them, but unfortunately Christopher did not come, if it would be good, He knew that those machines were available in Southeast Asia.

On the second day, in the fourth exhibition hall, I found a big surprise, although the chip level of East Germany is not very good, but the automation control technology is indeed quite strong, distributed control system, monitoring system, industrial control software, sensing and analysis and so on.

In John. Martin believes that at this time, East Germany had already begun to take shape with industrial Ethernet. The first place in the socialist camp at the industrial level really lives up to its name.

Since Ambrera invented LAN technology, Ling Shizhe has put forward the idea of the Internet and industrial Ethernet.

Not to mention the Internet, industrial Ethernet, in the new century, can be said to be the soul of a country's industrial capacity. It is something that cannot be bought with much money, and all the core technologies of foreign countries in later generations are related to this thing, such as the full-authority digital controller of aero engines, the transmission control system of high-speed rail drive motors, the automatic production line of automobiles, the continuous forging and rolling of iron and steel enterprises, etc., which are the specific applications of industrial Ethernet in different fields.

I don't know when the company will be able to produce the finished product of the Profibus data bus, looking at the posture of East Germany, they are already ahead of Ambrera. After Martin planned to stay in the hotel, he immediately reported the matter to Ling Shizhe.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, the service staff in the guest room sent a small note with the address written on it, saying that the United Locomotive Complex had sent someone to send them in the afternoon, and invited them to attend a cocktail party hosted by the United Locomotive Complex tomorrow afternoon.

John. Martin was about to call Ling Shizhe, and Navali and Linus went upstairs first.

"Boss, I'm John. Martin, we have found two new situations, an automatic machining machine tool made in East Germany, I think the performance of these machine tools is very good, and the price is very affordable, if we can establish a long-term cooperative relationship with them, these machine tools should have a large market in Southeast Asia, you must know that the price of CNC machine tools circulating in the market is still too high for them, these machine tools are just right for them.

Good...... Okay, Christopher will be over in two days? Okay, it's easy for him to come, and to be honest, although the automatic machine tools in East Germany are good, we don't know which one is more suitable. Good...... I will cooperate with him. Another thing, I found that the automation control technology of East Germany is not worse than our company, and even some technologies have surpassed us, especially in terms of industrial Ethernet technology, boss, should we also introduce it? Try to mention it to them, and then think of another way? Good...... Okay, then goodbye boss. ”

Hung up, John. Martin went upstairs and told Navali about Ling Shizhe's new arrangement.

On the other side of the world, after Ling Shizhe hung up the phone, he hurriedly told Christopher to quickly put down everything in his hand and hurried to Leipzig, East Germany, and at the same time ordered the company's information department to contact the Canadian Embassy in East Germany to help collect East Germany's automation control technology, and he wanted to find out what step East Germany's industrial automation control technology had reached.

In capitalist countries, if you have money, you can make the government do things for you. The staff of the Canadian Embassy in East Germany showed great enthusiasm and actively cooperated with the personnel of the Ministry of Information to collect information on East Germany's automation and control technology, and in less than a week, a relatively complete report was placed on Ling Shizhe's desk.
