Mr. Li took off his slippers and walked into the laboratory, then randomly found a chair with a thick cushion and sat down.

"This chair is so comfortable, it looks like it was made of later foam plastic. If I could get a set for home use, it would definitely add a touch of luxury to my home."

The old professor, who was sitting at his workbench reading, picked up his cigarette case. "How's your day, patriotic brother?"

"Teacher, I started working in the Locomotive Bureau this year and was awarded the honorary title of National Advanced Railway Worker. This is a glorious moment in my life." Mr. Li proudly shared his work achievements and expressed his pride in the locomotive depot.

Liu Guozhang nodded with satisfaction, "I know the situation of the maintenance department. It is indeed a rare ability for you to stand out among so many truck drivers. I have taught you."

Li Aiguo responded to the teacher, "Teacher, you have taught us since we were young that we should be passionate about what we do. As a train driver, I have to drive the train to the best of my ability."

When talking about careers, Liu Guoan instantly became energetic and asked curiously: "Which do you think is more suitable for us, internal combustion engines or electric locomotives?"

Li Anguo was slightly stunned.

Why is the deputy director of the Railway Department’s Work Style Office so concerned about this issue?

Looking around, he finally discovered that Liu Guoan's desk was covered with books related to locomotives, many of which were Russian books.

Recalling the news he had heard not long ago, Li Anguo continued to ask, "Professor, I heard that you have been promoted?"

Liu Guoan stared at Li Anguo for a long time, and said with praise: "You are really well-informed."

Considering the teacher-student relationship, the truth was not concealed.

"The matter of my teacher's wife has been basically verified. My superiors have decided to transfer me to the Railway Ministry Research Institute as deputy director."

Li Anguo's eyes suddenly showed surprise.

The Ministry of Railways Research Institute is a specialized research unit established to promote the railway industry.

In addition to in-depth research and development of locomotives, it has direct jurisdiction over regional research institutes. For example, Professor Wang of Sifang Company is under the jurisdiction of the research institute to a certain extent.

Although the research institute seems inconspicuous and has a low reputation in the eyes of most people, its actual status is quite prominent. The rank of deputy director is roughly equivalent to that of the general director of the steel plant.

Liu Guoan is currently less than 45 years old, and his future prospects are self-evident.

"Congratulations, Professor, for stepping into a higher position." Li Anguo stood up and saluted.

Liu Guoan shook his head. "We are teacher and student. There is no need to do this. As a frontline worker, your understanding of motorcycles may surpass that of a researcher in some senses. I just want to consult you about something."

Liu Guoan's teaching years date back to the time of liberation, when the teacher-student relationship was unbreakable.

A teacher's words are always respected, and they are not empty words.

Li Anguo certainly had no objection and listened attentively.

original,

At present, there are different opinions within the Ministry of Railways Research Institute on the future development direction of locomotives. One camp advocates following the international trend and steadily developing internal combustion engine technology like the big guys in Japan and Europe; the other camp advocates the development of more forward-looking electric locomotives.

Compared with internal combustion powered vehicles, electric vehicles have significantly higher speed and towing capacity, and are more environmentally friendly. Their future development potential will greatly surpass that of internal combustion engines. Just like the first car in history was an electric car, electric vehicles came out earlier than internal combustion engines, but due to technical bottlenecks, they were unable to realize their potential for a long time, and were subsequently replaced by internal combustion engines.

The actual situation is that since the liberation in the 1950s, China has realized the superiority of electric vehicles and began to explore the research and development of electric vehicles.

Nanjing Electric Power Plant, with the support of Soviet experts, is in the stage of manufacturing our country's first independently developed electric locomotive, which is the 6Y1 main line locomotive.

"In fact, I hope to continue investing in electric vehicle research, but please watch this message."

Liu Guoqing sighed deeply, held a piece of internal information in his hand, and then handed it to Ai Min.

The title engraved in black on this rough letter paper reads "The first trial run of the 6Y1 main line EMU manufactured by Nanjing Electric Power Plant did not meet expectations." The huge amount of funds spent was like a stream into the sea with no return. Who is responsible for this?

The article is concise and direct.

It tells the story of a 6Y1 main line EMU that was sent back to the factory for repairs because the triggering element of the rectifier did not function as expected during testing.

The article also strongly pointed out that the scientific research department's insistence on the choice of electric vehicle research is actually the wrong path. At present, the world's superpowers, especially European and American countries, are actively developing fuel-powered vehicle systems. Therefore, it is recommended that scientific research departments should reflect on themselves in time, keep up with the world trend, and give up the research and development direction of electric vehicles.

When Ai Min finished reading, he couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement:

Not long ago, he read in a newspaper published in the railway system that the development of the 6Y1 main line EMU was progressing well and was expected to enter the practical stage in a very short time.

My dear master, the story is not over yet. Please continue to turn to the next page, where there will be more amazing plots!

At this time, Ai Min was deeply surprised by what he had encountered - in his mind, many electric vehicle project plans of that era ended in tragedy.

It turns out that this is indeed the case, but the project was not made public to the outside world, but was revealed in internal documents.

Liu Guoqing, who was standing nearby, continued: "According to our plan, a number of new electric vehicle research projects will be launched in the future.

However, there are now internal materials questioning this, saying that the investment in EMUs is huge and the benefits are poor, which has caused the department's decision-makers to hesitate.

Within the scientific research community, the setback of the 6Y1 project caused some members to become skeptical and concerned about subsequent investment.

If I take on a leadership role, I will be faced with difficult decisions.”

Then, he handed Ai Min an old newspaper and said, "Sir, you should also know about locomotives and understand that fuel locomotive technology has been widely used and has established technical barriers. We cannot change the current situation by just spending energy and time on in-depth research and development."

Ai Min looked up at Professor Liu Guoqing and said, "Professor, have you studied EMU technology? I believe that the research on fuel technology is quite mature. It has been popularized in the world and has formed a huge protection mechanism. Even if we explore this technology in depth, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a breakthrough."

This young man can actually foresee the future development direction. His vision and perspective have already surpassed those of the leaders in the institute.

“You keep going.”

"The development of electric trains may be slow, but as long as the technology matures, it will definitely replace diesel trains. We should develop electric trains early to gain a leading edge in the competition!" Li Aiguo said with determination.

“Competitive advantage…well said!”

Liu Guozhang kept praising.

He stood up, took out a white cigarette box that was filled with chewing gum from the drawer of his desk, and took out two packs.

He gave one to Li Aiguo and lit one for himself.

He took a puff of cigarette, and his brows gradually relaxed: "The enemies are all around us, and the imperialists are still eager to make a move. If we don't find another way forward, I'm afraid we will only be able to survive on the leftovers of others.

This may not matter for small-scale things, but for our population of hundreds of millions, it is unacceptable.

The imperialists will never allow us to grow stronger, and at the same time we must never allow our destiny to fall into the control of others.

That's it, but..."

Liu Guozhang was silent for a while, then looked up at Li Aiguo and asked, "What do you think about the technical redundancy mentioned in the internal materials?"

Li Aiguo smoked leisurely, smiling:

“Teacher, no technological progress can be achieved overnight. In order to achieve unprecedented achievements, we have to work harder than others.

You often mention that trees need the cultivation of their predecessors so that we, the descendants, can get shade under their shade. Is this true?

In Li Aiguo's memory,

China's Railway Research Institute has always insisted on the goal of independently developing electric trains and has achieved success in the process.

From the small Type 6Y-1, it developed into the more efficient Type 2 Stephen, and finally to the multi-purpose large trunk electric train - Type 3 Stephen.

The subsequent Stephen series continued to evolve until the final launch of the top electric train, Stephen IXG, which allowed China to finally master a complete set of R&D and manufacturing technologies and produce its own Harmony electric train.

If we give up independent research and development now,

The main electric trains that the country will rely on in the future can only be purchased from foreign countries.

Just like in the field of technology,

Hearing this, Li Aiguo felt a chill on his back.

Liu Guozhang made his judgment after considering the overall situation.

That’s why we insist on the development direction of electric trains.

By listening to Li Aiguo's words,

His thoughts became stronger and more certain.

He took a puff of cigarette and closed his eyes slightly.

Facing the diffuse white smoke, he fell into a state of deep thought.

Perhaps he should really write an internal reference article on "overtaking on a curve" to eliminate negative influences and prejudices.

Occasionally, his thoughts turned to some other vague concepts: at certain critical moments, decisive action can often lead to change.

A powerful oath may completely reverse the situation.

After years of hard work, the old professor who worked hard for his dream has learned the art of flexibility in practice.

In addition to chatting, sharing meals adds a bit of emotional integration between each other.

Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, Li Aiguo stood up and prepared to leave.

"Aiguo, remember, you must come to my house often."

"Don't worry, Master, I will bother you more often."

After sending Li Aiguo to the main road, Liu Guozhang turned and walked onto the quiet path behind the house.

Fang Shilan was squatting by the pool, concentrating on cleaning the leftovers from the dishes. Seeing her husband return, a smile appeared on her lips, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to recruit such a promising apprentice."
