Chapter 167: Returning Home with a Full Load (14)
The excitement of the Moscow No. 1 Machinery Factory was just a prelude to Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang's trip to the Soviet Union......
A few days later, at the Baltic Radio Machinery Factory in Leningrad, they found in a dusty warehouse a brazing machine made by the German company Siemens, which is the most important welding equipment in the field of electronic radio, and many capacitors, resistors are insulated and connected to each other.

Not to mention the current early fifties, even if it is another one or twenty years, the brazing machine is still an irreplaceable important processing and manufacturing equipment in the field of electronics, even in the 21st century, the electronic manufacturing has been greatly improved, that is just the welding method into laser brazing, as for the basic principle and application range is basically no different from the old brazing machine, it can be seen that the importance of the brazing machine.
The Soviets also knew about this, so when the German-made brazing machine was shipped to China as a trophy, they organized relevant experts to study it, and combined with the collected equipment drawings, on the basis of which a batch of brazing machines that met Soviet standards were re-imitated.
As for this brazing machine that they dismantled, after completing its "teaching" mission, it was locked in a cold warehouse for three years.
Just kidding, such a good thing, can not let it eat dust, although the whole brazing machine is in the state of parts, and even the shell is rusty and perforated, but the core equipment inside is still relatively intact, Bai Yi is confident that it will be restored and restored to production capacity, in this case, it is naturally packed and shipped away, so that it can be rejuvenated in China.
Similar to a German just successful ultrasonic insulated ceramic drilling machine, the use of ultrasonic oscillation of electronic components of insulating ceramic drilling, compared with the traditional mechanical drilling, not only the damage to the insulating ceramics is small, and can change the waveform intensity as needed, to achieve different shapes of complex drilling, both flexibility and production efficiency are very prominent.
It's just that this kind of black technology has not been fully rolled out at that time, this ultrasonic insulated ceramic drilling machine is only a semi-finished product, and the drawings are also damaged in the war, and the Soviet electronics factory is more accustomed to mature technology and easy-to-learn mechanical drilling, so this machine was thrown into the warehouse by the Soviets as scrap products......
Subsequently, in the Minsk Special Optics Manufacturing Plant, Bai Yi and others collected a large number of optical manufacturing equipment of the Austrian Swarovski company in the disrepaired old factory, among which the high-precision lathes, milling machines and grinding machines are quite intact, and although the coating and polishing equipment are damaged by mistake, they are not completely scrapped.
But such a complete set of equipment that is enough to process the world's top level optical instruments was abandoned by the Soviets, not to mention Chen Yaoyang, and even Bai Yi had a question mark in his head, you must know that before this, the Soviets abandoned a lot of German equipment, but either they felt that similar products in Germany were not as good as the Soviet Union's own direct abandonment; Either it is to dismantle the bits and pieces from the inside out, learn the core technology and sweep it into the garbage heap.
But the problem is that the Soviet Union's optical research and development technology is far inferior to that of European countries, not to mention, its own equipment is not very sophisticated, you must know that all of the optical equipment that can process optical equipment are professional machine tools with extremely high precision, and the value of each one is very high.
So Bai Yi curiously asked the reason, but the answer made Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang laugh, for no other reason, just because the Austrian Swarovski company is a world-renowned luxury manufacturer, and as a result, it was recognized by the Soviet high-level as a symbol of imperialist decay, and even the captured optical equipment was labeled as bourgeois degenerate, and discarded as the object of criticism.
Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang were simply dumbfounded, they didn't expect that ideology could make a complete set of optical manufacturing equipment be treated as scrap metal, yes, Swarovski is indeed a world-renowned luxury manufacturer, and the luxury crystals produced are sought after by countless celebrities and rich people, and it is true that he has not been wronged by the representative of the decadent bourgeoisie.
But the problem is that Swarovski is not only a manufacturer of luxury crystals, but also a powerful manufacturer of military optical instruments, producing lenses, optical sighting instruments, and imaging equipment that are world-renowned until the 21st century.
Not to mention anything else, the optical sight lenses, thermal imaging optical lenses on the American M1A2 main battle tank, and the comprehensive standard mirror on the famous large-caliber sniper rifle "Bartley" are all produced by Swarovski, which shows the depth of its craftsmanship in the field of military optics. But I didn't expect that it was such a military optical manufacturer with a deep heritage, but because of luxury jewelry, it became a third-rate role in the Soviet Union.
However, fortunately, the Soviets were not completely blinded by ideology, and the Soviets of Swarovski looked down on them, but Carl Zeiss, another optical manufacturer in Nazi Germany, made the Soviets abandon all prejudices, and the captured various optical manufacturing equipment not only became the model of the next generation of optical manufacturing machinery in the Soviet Union, but also directly became the capital for the upgrading of the Minsk Special Optical Plant.
It is precisely because of this that when they stepped into the Minsk Special Optics Factory, they were greeted by a strong German flavor, which made Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang sigh unhappily, why didn't the Soviet Union go one step further in its ideological criticism? Isn't Carl Zeiss the foundation of China's optical manufacturing?
You must know that Carl Zeiss is the world's leader in the field of optics, the classic Zeiss telescope, until the 21st century is a classic of the classics, and its imitations are countless, among which China's 63-type telescope has referred to the German Zeiss telescope, as well as the optical sight on the German "Bismarck" battleship, the periscope on the "Tiger" tank, and even the glasses used by the Führer are the masterpieces of Carl Zeiss company.
So passing by the bloodline of this optical giant, Bai Yi is really a little disappointed, but it is not bad, the complete Swarovski optical production equipment is enough to lay a good optical industry foundation for the current China.
And this trip to the Soviet Union can lay the foundation for New China is not only the optical industry. The radio industry, heavy equipment processing, precision machining and manufacturing, mining and so on, many of the defeated country's equipment that was discarded by the Soviets for various reasons were collected by Bai Yi as much as possible, and became a good foundation for various industrial fields in New China.
Coupled with a large number of drawings and technical models collected from archives and research institutes in Moscow, Leningrad and other places that were regarded by the Soviets as heresy or undisputed technical garbage, Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang, who originally came empty-handed, had already returned with a full load when they stepped on the train back to China......
