Qin Zhenhua was still confident before he came, after all, he knew the current situation of the domestic railway sector and the urgent need for domestic capacity growth, but he had miscalculated some things.

A layman is a layman! Qin Zhenhua sighed in his heart, this piece of fat meat makes Americans eat it in their mouths, people are willing to sell the most advanced, and they are willing to transfer the most advanced technology for free, of course, it will not be their turn, even if MTU company has this similar product, it is impossible to win the contract, they are absolutely unwilling to transfer technology for free, this is the biggest problem.

So, are you going to pounce on yourself this time?

The key to whether the introduction of 396 diesel engine technology can be completed this time lies in whether the 396 diesel engine can be sold, at least 200 units.

Originally, I thought that the railway department could easily digest it, but who would have thought that the plan would not be able to catch up with the changes!

After looking around this locomotive several times, Qin Zhenhua also admired the advanced technology adopted on it.

In fact, the tank has also had this kind of attempt, when in World War II, with the rapid expansion of the tonnage of the tank, to the time of the Tiger tank, the weight is too large, the then Dr. Porsche, put forward the idea of electric transmission, the engine carried by the tank is used to generate electricity, and then the electric motor is used to drive the tank forward.

At that time, it was an innovation, but unfortunately, the technical conditions at that time were too immature, and the electric transmission tank always had problems, and finally lost to the conventional way.

Now, with the advancement of technology, the 1,500-horsepower engine can also be reliably output to the track with conventional transmission methods, so there is no need for an electric drive system, but in the future, the power will continue to increase? What if there was a tank engine with 2,000 or even 3,000 horsepower? At that time, it was probably an electric drive, right?

However, it is not certain whether you can see this day, after all, the improvement of technology is not achieved overnight, but after a long enough time.

After visiting for a long time, when it was time to eat at noon, Sun Xinmin greeted the two warmly and went to the factory canteen to eat a small stove, which was regarded as a pick-up for the two.

"There is a rule in the factory, you can't drink alcohol at noon, you stay for half a day, and in the evening, have a good drink." Sun Xinmin said to the two.

"No, we have other things to do, and it's time to leave in the afternoon." Qin Zhenhua said.

Since it can't be used here, there are other occasions to use it, and the next target is the shipyard, the locomotive factory here is located in the coastal city, and here, there is also an important shipyard in the north, so try your luck there, but there are no acquaintances, and the two of them will report to their homes.

Qin Zhenhua has always been in a hurry when he does things. Anything, once it drags on, may not be able to accomplish anything.

"By the way, you said that there is something here, what is the matter?" At this time, Sun Xinmin remembered this incident.

So far, they haven't said anything, and now they are leaving, Sun Xinmin is a little strange.

"To be honest, we're here to sell diesel engines." Qin Zhenhua said to Sun Xinmin: "We signed a contract with the Germans to import 200 diesel engines from them, and after this contract is completed, the Germans will export technology to us." We originally planned to sell these 200 diesel engines to our iron boss, but now it seems that the iron boss has chosen to go to General Electric, and we have no chance. ”

Qin Zhenhua said, spreading his hands.

I'm not omnipotent, I can't expect everything, this time I came over, I was going to be excited, and I was disappointed.

"Diesels for the Germans? Is it big or not? Suddenly, Sun Xinmin asked such a question.

Is it big or not?

Hearing this question, Qin Zhenhua was a little strange, generally speaking, when asking about the engine, first ask how the power is, how about the fuel consumption, first ask what is the volume, what is the matter?

If it's your own tank engine, of course, it depends on the size, if the volume is too large, then you can't stuff it, but this railway locomotive, in fact, there is no lack of space, it's a big deal to lengthen the locomotive, what's the point?

Qin Zhenhua looked at Sun Xinmin with a strange gaze.

"The front of the car seen today is the front of the freight car, and with the development of our domestic economy, we also need new air-conditioned buses." Sun Xin [Yanyu Hongchen] introduced to Qin Zhenhua: "This new air-conditioned bus does not have high requirements for the traction of the front of the car, but it requires the front of the car to have more power generation capacity. ”

Qin Zhenhua's heart suddenly surged with a new hope, what is this called? There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!

It is already impossible for this kind of engine to act as a power system for the train, but the east is not bright and the west is bright, and advanced power units will always be useful.

Now it's a need! Use the train as a generator!

In this era, most of the trains are still green cars, with only one electric fan overhead, which is quite uncomfortable, for the north, it is a little better, the south is hot and humid, and in the crowded carriages, there will even be heat stroke and fainting of passengers.

Therefore, the railway department needs a new air-conditioned passenger car, this kind of passenger car, need to have a special power supply, the current railway locomotive locomotive, the power supply is limited, if a special power generation car is hung, and it is too wasteful, so, they thought of a choice, if there is a small diesel generator, can be stuffed into the existing locomotive, it would be great!

In order to meet the air conditioning power supply of all the passenger cars of a train, it requires a lot of electricity, and at the same time, it needs to be small enough to fit into the front of the train.

Small in size and full of power, where to find this advanced diesel engine?

It is none other than MTU's 396 diesel engine!

This diesel engine has a larger stroke and an increased height, so it becomes difficult to stuff it into the engine compartment of the tank, but it is proper to stuff it into the locomotive of the railway locomotive!

Qin Zhenhua felt his heart pounding, he tried his best to stabilize his mood, and said, "In terms of volume, of course there is no problem, we can send you the prototype as soon as possible." ”

Railway passenger transport is also an important aspect of the domestic economy, and now the development of air-conditioned trains, the market is quite large, so that the demand for this diesel engine is also quite high, not to mention two hundred units, five hundred units can be eaten.

Best, in the later stage, they localized the diesel engine, and they also saved the continuous consumption of precious foreign exchange.

Qin Zhenhua exhaled a long breath, and another problem was solved!
