I Am the President of the University

Latest website: Qu Ping and Yang Peng are senior high school graduates from Tianfu Province. After filling out their application forms, they prepared to travel to Ludao together with the consent of their families.

Before the plane took off, they happened to see the push news of the Hyperloop, and the two started discussing it in the cabin.

"I'll go, Guanghua University is awesome. The hyperloop has been built. Wouldn't it be faster than flying?"

"Nonsense, Lao Yang, let me tell you, the hyperloop is definitely a boast! Is it possible that the speed of the hyperloop is 1,500 kilometers per hour? The current speed of the high-speed rail is only 350 kilometers per hour!"

"Well, the difference is indeed quite big...but isn't Guanghua University's scientific research capability quite impressive? Maybe it's true."

"It's really stupid. Even if it can really achieve 1,500 kilometers per hour, it will only be done by Japan. Japan built the world's fastest train in 2016, with a speed of up to 603 kilometers per hour!"

Hearing this, Yang Peng was confused. He touched the back of his head and asked blankly: "Isn't our country's Fuxing High-speed Railway the fastest? I remember that the fastest Shinkansen in Japan seems to be only 320 kilometers per hour?"

"Fuxing?" Qu Ping sneered and said disdainfully, "Let me tell you, Fuxing and Harmony are all copied from Japan. You can tell by looking at the models. They are almost identical to the Japanese Shinkansen. "

"This is also the case in our country. The infringement of Japan's intellectual property rights is so serious. Many Chinese people still enjoy themselves every day and indulge in independent research and development. It is really shameful."

Yang Peng was silent.

After thinking about it carefully according to Qu Ping's words, it seems that the models of Harmony and Fuxing are indeed quite similar to Japan's Shinkansen Express?

Yang Peng didn't speak, but Qu Ping continued in a hushed tone:

"It is said that the first batch of EMUs were all imported from Japan. They were not modified at all for fear of causing problems. They even had Japanese slogans on them. Can you believe it?"

"I'm embarrassed to steal other people's technology and put money on my own face!"

I don't know why, but when Qu Ping mentioned the word "steal", he felt uncomfortable.

Before he could speak, an angry shout came from beside him:

"That's nonsense! Which self-media account did you see this on?"

"The Fuxing High-Speed ​​Railway is 100% independently designed and independently developed by my country and has complete intellectual property rights. Why is it not domestically produced?"

"How come you are considered a traitor at such a young age? Are you still praising Japan's Shinkansen?"

"In the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail project in Indonesia, China successfully defeated Japan and won this large international order."

"Don't brag about the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship. The high-speed rail that caused the railway derailment in Baodao this year was built by Hitachi Company of Japan. In May this year, the high-speed rail of the 550 billion project in the UK also cracked. It was finally discovered that the train chassis was produced by Hitachi Company of Japan. problem appear."

Yang Peng turned his head and saw that the person speaking was an old man sitting next to him in the aisle. He looked either very old or his hair was sparse and his hairline was very prominent.

At this moment, the old man's face turned red and he looked furious.

Perhaps the word "traitor" irritated Qu Ping. Across Yang Peng, Qu Ping counterattacked towards the uncle:

"Don't the EMU drawings use Japanese ones? As for the domestically produced ones you mentioned, I laughed! Nowadays, the engines of the EMUs are still imported. Is this called domestically produced?"

Professor Zhao Yong was really angry and laughed, really.

He looked at Qu Ping, staring straight at him, "Did you just say engine?"

Qu Ping was inexplicably uncomfortable, but he still replied stiffly, "Yes, it's the engine. Why, there's nothing more to say, right?"

"Haha!" Professor Zhao Yong sneered and looked at him like an idiot, "Originally I thought you knew at least a little bit, but now it seems that you are not even as good as Zhao Kuo who talks on paper."

"Engine? Where does the engine on the EMU come from? It's called a traction motor!"

Qu Ping was speechless. Professor Zhao Yong did not give the other party a chance to quibble, and directly questioned three times in a row:

"Do you know what a traction motor is?"

"Do you know what a traction transformer, traction converter, and auxiliary converter are?"

"Do you know what aerodynamic styling and bogies are?"

Finally, Professor Zhao Yong came up with an ultimate move.

"By the way, the core components of the above-mentioned EMUs have all been made in China!"

"Also, I want to correct you another mistake. Only the crh2 EMU in our country uses EMUs manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries of Japan. The crh1 type uses EMUs made by Canada's Bombardier, and the crh3 type uses technology from Germany's Siemens. The CRH5 EMU is manufactured by French Alstom technology.”

"Also, Japan's EMU technology was also learned from Siemens. If Japan is your father, then Germany is your grandfather. You should brag about Germany."

The last sentence caused many people in the cabin to laugh, and some even whistled.

"You're right! Today's young people are no longer patriotic when their lives are better. I think they grew up eating shit!"

"If this were me when I was younger, I would just slap him with a big mouth. What the hell!"

"he tui!"

There was so much turmoil that the stewardess immediately came over to mediate the conflict.

Professor Zhao Yong was also very angry. As for Qu Ping, he had transformed into an ostrich. If he hadn't been on the plane, he would have run away in despair.

It’s no wonder that Professor Zhao Yong was so angry. It was Qu Ping’s remarks that went too far.

A few words negate the more than ten years of hard work and sweat of the Chinese railway people!

China's high-speed rail, from introduction to digestion and absorption, has occupied more than 60% of the world's high-speed rail lines from scratch. It only took less than ten years for China to lead the world.

Who knows the hardship behind it?

Just like the lyrics, who says that only those who stand in the light are heroes!

After the storm dissipated, Professor Zhao Yong was about to continue to close his eyes and rest, but another voice came from beside him.

"Uncle, how do you know so much?"

Professor Zhao Yong squinted slightly, and after seeing that the speaker was not Qu Ping but Yang Peng, he snorted, "I am a university professor and my research is in this area. Do you think I understand?"

When he heard that he was a university professor, Qu Ping felt like he was losing.

Instead, Yang Peng asked humbly: "Sir, what is your surname?"

"My surname is Zhao, what's wrong?"

"Professor Zhao, it's like this. After hearing what you said just now, I'm very curious about our country's high-speed rail industry. Can I get some advice from you?"

Looking at Yang Peng's humble attitude of learning, he was completely different from Qu Ping, and Yang Peng's words were also very useful to Zhao Yong.

"Okay, I'm so angry that I can't sleep, so I'll tell you a little bit about science, and let that little traitor listen to it."

The sentence "little traitor" made Qu Ping move again, but when he remembered that this old man was a university professor and probably couldn't convince him, he stopped humiliating himself and had to grit his teeth and endure it.

As for Zhao Yong, he briefly recalled and slowly told an unknown past of the Republic.

"Things start in 1978. October 22, 1978 is the starting point of the story of China's high-speed rail."

"The chief designer went to Japan to attend the signing ceremony of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Friendship and Peace. During his visit, he tried out a Japanese Shinkansen train. At that time, the operating speed of the Shinkansen reached 220 kilometers per hour, while the average speed of China's railways at that time was only 43 kilometers per hour! "

The huge gap between 43 kilometers and 220 kilometers is an understatement.

"It is also the hope for the Shinkansen that opened the chapter of China's high-speed rail."

"However, limited by economic level and engineering and technical capabilities, it was not until 1999 that the Ministry of Railways started construction of China's first experimental high-speed rail line - the Qinhuangdao-Shenyang Passenger Dedicated Line."

"Now that the railway is available, what kind of trains should we run?"

"At this time, the culmination of domestically produced trains was the [China Star] EMU, which came into being. Unfortunately, China Star had frequent breakdowns. In the end, the Ministry of Railways only allowed the China Star to operate at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour in Qincheng. Post-secondary operations.”

"Although the failure rate of China Star is not low, Chinese railway engineers are full of confidence in the road of independent research and development. In time, it will definitely be able to match the operating speed of Japan's Shinkansen."

"But the new railway minister was unwilling to spend decades just catching up with mature foreign technologies. The subsequent series of operations by the Ministry of Railways have become a textbook case of business negotiation."

"On January 1, 2004, the State Council passed the "Medium and Long-term Railway Network Plan." It is planned that by 2020, the national railway mileage will reach 100,000 kilometers, and "four vertical and four horizontal" passenger dedicated lines will be built, which is today's high-speed rail Backbone Network.”

"This plan is the largest high-speed railway plan in mankind to date, and all railway technology companies around the world are interested in it. High-speed rail companies no longer hide advanced products, but have launched their flagship products for the Chinese market. stepping stone.”

“The Ministry of Railways’ second clever move was the “Tender Invitation for the 200 km/h Railway EMU Project” issued on June 17, 2004.

The subtlety of this tender document is that it specifies that the bidding enterprise must be a Sino-foreign joint venture, and the four foreign giants, Siemens, Alstom, Bombardier, and Japan High Speed ​​Rail Consortium, cannot bid directly.

The real intention of the Ministry of Railways is to force Chinese companies to learn advanced international technologies from foreign companies, and at the same time use huge cakes to lure foreign companies to transfer advanced technologies to China. "

Speaking of this, Professor Zhao admired the minister nicknamed Liu Yue. \b

It is precisely because of Liu Yue's boldness that China's high-speed rail has become the number one in the world today.

“The Ministry of Railways has only designated two Chinese companies to introduce technology, namely Sifang Locomotive (CSR Group) and Changchun Bus (CNR Group). These two companies are called ‘strategic buyers’.”

"CSRC and other parties have a special liking for the Shinkansen, so they started negotiations with the Japanese High-speed Rail Consortium; the Ministry of Railways was most optimistic about Siemens high-speed rail at the beginning, so CNR Changchun authorized to start negotiations with Siemens; as for Bombardier, as early as 1990 , and established a joint venture with CSR Sifang, so Bombardier has no worries about bidding qualifications.”

“Among the four major foreign giants, only Alstom of France is the most worried.

Fortunately, at this time, Germany's Siemens gave Alstom a God-given opportunity.

Siemens' platform technology is the most advanced, but the Germans insist on superior technology and can't agree with the Chinese on price.

Even though the lion opened its mouth, the prototype car cost 350 million yuan per train and the technology transfer fee was 390 million euros. As of one month before the opening of the bid, Siemens still refused to let go. Changchun Bus also refused to give in. They simply sent away the Germans and invited Alstom. .

In the final bidding results, in addition to Siemens, the other three foreign giants made gains one after another, and all received orders from the Ministry of Railways. This incident made Siemens executives furious, and the negotiation team was collectively fired. "

“In 2005, one year after the first bidding, the Ministry of Railways launched a second round of bidding, this time for trains with a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, which is today’s high-speed rail.

Siemens was beaten once and learned the lesson the second time. In the second round of bidding, an agreement was reached with Tangshan Bus (CNR) for 250 million yuan per vehicle and 80 million euros for technology transfer. The content of the technology transfer is very complete, which is equivalent to the Germans teaching the Chinese how to design high-speed rail.

Therefore, China’s high-speed rail is really learning from Germany’s Siemens, not Japan’s Shinkansen! "

What follows is the story of how Chinese railway people absorbed these technologies and turned them into their own.

For example, Tangshan Bus achieved localization of Siemens high-speed trains within three years;

CSR Sifang also produced a self-developed train with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour as promised.

On August 1, 2008, China's first high-speed rail line with a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour, the Beijing-Tianjin intercity high-speed rail, was officially put into operation. Chinese companies have mastered the advanced technology of the four major international high-speed rail giants.

China's high-speed rail has since taken a new step and ushered in an era of rapid development.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In 2011, a major railway traffic accident occurred in the Wenzhou section of the Ningbo-Wenzhou line, which suddenly plunged the high-speed rail industry in the Republic into a dark period.

It was not until 2013 that the Ministry of Railways was abolished, China Railway Corporation emerged, and China's high-speed rail was revived.

In particular, the advent of Fuxing marks that China's high-speed rail industry has the ability to completely independently develop the most advanced platform. China's high-speed rail is not only the leader in the world's high-speed rail industry, but also the best business card of Made in China.

At the end, Professor Zhao Yong shook his head and sighed: "China's high-speed rail is actually following the path of China's automobiles. It first builds a wave of roads to form a huge market cake, then uses the market for technology, jointly shares the market, and then digests, absorbs, self-produces, Eat up the internal market, and finally use independent research and development, innovation, and export to seize the external market.”

"It's a pity that the high-speed rail is now in operation, but cars are still not in operation!"

After listening to what Professor Zhao Yong said, Yang Peng suddenly realized that the development process of China's high-speed rail has been so difficult.

Let’s leave aside the Harmony EMU for the moment, but the Fuxing EMU is completely independently designed and mostly independently developed, so there is no problem in saying it is domestically produced.

After listening to this passage, many passengers in the cabin felt that they had gained new knowledge.

But Qu Ping made a comeback.

"Haha, if you didn't learn it from foreigners, how can you say it's made in China?"

Professor Zhao Yong sneered, "China invented gunpowder, so is the 98k also a Chinese gun?"
