Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 696 The beginning of a new era (second update, please subscribe)
For Li Yi'an in London, he had no idea that he was on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Someone is already eyeing Nanyang.

After their affairs in London were over, he and Margaret embarked on a journey to America.

"What they need is a chance."

As the plane left London Airport and flew towards the United States, Li Yian stared out the window and said softly.

"What I need is an opportunity!"

It's not just an opportunity, he also needs to use Britain to deal with the United States. Although Truman is an old friend, that guy will never be ambiguous when it comes to national interests.

The help of old friends is within the scope of their ability, but beyond that... In the end, the country comes first.

The impact of the atomic bomb in Nanyang on the whole world is far from over. Especially the United States. Even though the United States says it doesn't matter, based on Li Yian's understanding of the United States, those Americans are all scheming bitches, and they may not be thinking what they are thinking about now.

At this time, there is absolutely no problem in pulling Britain out to take the blame.

Although Britain has lost its status as a world hegemon, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Compared with Nanyang, the United States is definitely more concerned about Britain.

With a jet plane, you can travel everywhere...

……

While feeling emotional, Li Yian naturally thought of Nanyang and the jetliners in Nanyang.

"This is such a short-sighted behavior... However, the United States will not tolerate Canada's independent development."

Compared with ships, jets are the most suitable means of transportation in Nanyang.

Industrial upgrading. In fact, Nanyang's industrial upgrading has never stopped. From the beginning, it could only manufacture textiles, toys, curtains and other light textile products, and later exported a large number of mechanical and electrical products such as washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, radios and televisions. , it is through such industrial upgrading that Nanyang's products can always occupy the forefront of the market. After all, this kind of industrial upgrading is essentially directly related to the increase in income of people in Europe and the United States.

From exporting steam locomotives and other products to countries such as Tangshan, Vietnam and India to exporting large oil tankers to Greece, Nanyang's industrial and technological levels have been undergoing tremendous changes in the past few years.

Before there were jet airliners, flying across the Atlantic was a long time. Li Yian had long understood this. It could even be said that every time he took a plane, he couldn't help but miss jet planes. It was precisely because of the jet Planes have only become the norm for world leaders to visit. As it is now, just flying across the Atlantic Ocean often takes a whole day. Who would go on such a trip!
“I don’t know when I can get on a jetliner!”

Nanyang Railway Technology Research Institute, although it is already ten o'clock in the evening, Feng Qingyun is still looking at the drawings. In the past two years, the institute has been studying high-speed railways, such as ballastless tracks and axle springs. They are all pre-war German technologies.

However, from a national perspective, the real industrial upgrade should be the export of complete sets of industrial equipment and large industrial products such as merchant ships, motorcycles and aircraft. However, now such large-scale commodities from Nanyang are gradually opening the door to the market. .

No, it should be said that with jet airliners, Nanyang, which is scattered on several islands, can truly be connected into a whole. Of course, large aircraft will also become a pillar industry of Nanyang.

"I don't know when I will be able to fly on Nanyang's own jet."

An industry that can provide at least 100,000 jobs. If such a huge industry does not enter, how can there be any industrial upgrading?

Sitting on the soft sofa chair of the special plane, while flipping through documents, Li Yian once again talked about jet airliners.

Let's let Big Brother take the lead.

The reason why I want to carry a jetliner all day long is because Nanyang really needs it! Unlike other countries that use railways to connect the country together, as an island country, the distance between the main island and outer islands is thousands of kilometers. Without modern means of transportation to connect the country together, the country's economic development is bound to be affected.

When I think of the "Comet" that has been test-flying in the UK for more than a year, I naturally also think of the Canadian C8, which made its first flight in August last year, just two weeks after de Havilland's "Comet". , originally had a chance to compete for the second place in the world, but due to the Peninsula War and the need for CF-102 fighter jets, Canadian officials canceled the project.

But there are still many technologies that are newly developed, from bogies to air springs, from power systems to control systems, these technologies are all newly developed by the institute.

The overcoming of each problem, the application of new technologies, and finally everything is presented in this drawing.

"Okay, finally it's time to test..."

Slowly looking through the drawings in front of them, these drawings are the hard work of all of them and the efforts of hundreds of days and nights. Although they are only engineering drawings, you can already see the appearance of the high-speed EMU train through the engineering drawings.

Compared with the square-shaped front of the car in the past, the front of the new high-speed train is obviously different. It looks like a bullet, with beautiful and smooth lines.

"Bullet train..."

Although it is known that the streamlined design of high-speed EMU trains is based on aerodynamics, the cab and front part are inspired by bombers.

But in the institute, people prefer to call it the "bullet train" because its front is sharp and looks like a bullet.

"This is also completely innovative!"

While feeling emotional, what Feng Qingyun didn't know was that this high-speed train designed by introducing basic aerodynamics into aviation theory laid the foundation for the appearance of all subsequent high-speed trains in Southeast Asia and even the world.

After reviewing the drawings, Feng Qingyun walked out of the research institute and rode a bicycle directly to the nearby test platform.

Under the moonlight, the high-speed train was parked there. The white body of the train looked particularly charming under the bright moonlight and lights. Around the train, there were some technicians who were conducting final inspections on it.

When Feng Qingyun reached the platform, he squatted down, looked at the technicians inspecting the car, and asked.

"Cheng Li, how's it going? There's nothing wrong with the circuit."

"Don't worry, Feng Gong, there will definitely be no problem."

Cheng Li said with a smile, but he was still lying there checking.

"Check it carefully again. Each carriage and each group of motors must be checked repeatedly."

Feng Qingyun said from the side.

The new EMU adopts a power-dispersed design - that is, a full-motor train. Each car is equipped with four electric motors, that is, each car can provide 1000kW of traction power. This is because of the natural environment of Nanyang - the soil in most areas is soft. , the use of power dispersion design can reduce axle load, and another point is to increase traction failure redundancy, that is, fault operation capability and special weather adaptability.

"Actually, a power-centralized design could have been adopted..."

When this idea came to Feng Qingyun's mind, he immediately gave up the idea. It was not because Nanyang could not make high-power motors. Nanyang's motor technology originated from Germany. Of course, it was possible to make high-power motors, but in that case, The weight of the locomotive will increase, the axle load will also increase, and the line standards will have to be improved. From an economic point of view... it is not cost-effective.

But it can be used as a technical reserve and can be exported to other countries in the future. Just when Feng Qingyun had this idea in his mind, Walter, the chief engineer of the institute, came over and asked.

"What, can't you sleep?"

Shaking his head, Feng Qingyun said.

"I'm just a little excited. Tomorrow... no, today, today, it will be tested. If it succeeds, then it will definitely be the fastest train in the world!"

After a slight pause, he continued.

"He is not only the fastest, but he will usher in a new era - the era of high-speed rail!"

When Feng Qingyun proposed this concept two years ago, Feng Qingyun at that time was a high-speed railway, just a railway.

But in the past two years, with the progress of research work and the in-depth research on the application of high-speed railway, he has become more and more aware of the profound changes that high-speed railway will bring to world transportation.

And this change will be launched in Nanyang!
And tomorrow, tomorrow they will sound the whistle of a new era.
