Spring Breeze 1991

Yao Yuan didn't hold out much hope for getting a five-axis linkage CNC machine tool.

This kind of machine tool equipment is a sharp weapon of the country, and its role and significance cannot be overestimated.

There is a story circulating in the market.

Soviet submarines used to be very noisy. The biggest advantage of submarines as a weapon is their stealth. The loud noise they make during navigation means that they are easy to detect.The Americans said that as long as the Soviet submarines leave the port, their sonar can hear them.

However, in the 80s, the silent level of Soviet submarines suddenly reached a new level. The famous conventional submarine "Kilo" class even had the title of oceanic black hole.

The reason is that the Soviet Union obtained a five-axis linkage CNC machine tool, which has the ability to finely process marine propellers.Propellers are one of the main sources of noise when ships are sailing.

Not only marine propellers, but also impellers, blades, heavy engine rotors, steam turbine rotors, and large diesel engine crankshafts. Five-axis CNC machine tools are the only means to process these components!

When Alyosha heard that Yao Yuan wanted the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool from Pilsen Machinery Factory, he was almost frightened into a fool on the spot, which is understandable.

The five-axis linkage CNC machine tool is not only the lifeblood of Pilsen Machinery Factory, but also the only pearl of Czech industrial manufacturing.

The technology of this thing is monopolized by Western developed countries, and you can't get it at all.

China's engine technology has been unable to improve for a long time, especially aero engines. Even if the technology improves, the service life is usually only one-tenth or even shorter than that of similar foreign products.

The gap in surface processing technology and technology is one of the main reasons, because there is no machine tool equipment capable of fine processing.

It can be said that if Yao Yuan really gets the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool from Pilsen Machinery Factory by luck, then he can lie down and collect money in the future, and live a rich life comfortably without doing anything. life.

Because this kind of machine tool equipment is very, very, very important, and it ranks at the top of the list of embargo agreements against China (Batumi Agreement), Yao Yuan has no hope of getting it.

Maybe there's a [-] in [-] chance.

It was useless for Klaus to come forward, not even as great as Alyosha.Alyosha is the person directly in charge, and there are often some things where the upper-level leaders can play a less important role than the lower-level leaders.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Yao Yuan decided to spend a lot of money on Alyosha, but he couldn't invest too much, and the possibility of the money being wasted was very high.

Wu Ning didn't know what he and Alyosha talked about, neither did Lu Sen, and Lin Xiaohu and Jiang Yong didn't care much, they only cared about Yao Yuan's safety.

The fewer people who know about this, the better.

In the afternoon, Yao Yuan and the others drove around in Pilsen City in two cars.

Most of the shops on both sides of the street are still open. Compared with Moscow and Kyiv, which are in social difficulties, in many cities in the Czech Republic, the supply of people's living materials is still sufficient.The entire west of the Czech Republic is bordered by Germany (East Germany and West Germany have been merged), and the Germans have shown the greatest interest in Czech industries. Because of their geographical location, they have the advantage of being close to the water.

It is based on this background that Skoda Automobile was acquired by the Volkswagen Group.

More importantly, the ultimate goal that Germany wants to achieve is to closely link the entire Czech industry with German industry, and German industry must have an absolute right to speak in this.

In other words, the Germans did not want the Czechs to sell all their belongings.

When most companies from other countries acquire Czech factories, they will basically choose to evacuate the factory and leave an empty factory.

The Germans are not, they really want to take over the past and become bigger and stronger.

Therefore, whether Yao Yuan is buying a five-axis CNC machine tool or other machinery or technology, the biggest resistance he faces is not the Czech government, but the giant German companies.

He got in touch with Klaus through some other channels, but after all, the time was short, and because of his identity as a Chinese, many things in it could not be simply "paid for things".

Therefore, he can only try to do this with the mentality of making a shot, and he puts more energy into those corners that few people pay attention to, and finds out some unremarkable but technically important things. Come.

Citizens wrapped in military coats lined up in front of the bakery, a little snowflakes fell, and Yao Yuan remembered the living conditions of Moscow people after the disintegration of the Soviet Union that later generations often saw.

In fact, the hardships of the Soviet people have just begun.

Before 1993, the Czech people had to live in a turbulent social environment.

The layout of the city is very Soviet-style, and it is a city built on industry, with a strong taste of heavy steel.After entering the winter, the Czech Republic continued to be cloudy, which made the city even more lonely, which seemed to echo the collapse of the Red Empire.

Turning another street corner, Yao Yuan was about to let the driver go back. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at a dilapidated small door on the right, and the sign hanging on the side caught his attention.

"Stop." Yao Yuan said suddenly.

The driver was Yakov, a colonel of the KGB Eastern European Regional Branch. He is now the head of the protocol department of the Yuanhai Trading Company, and he is actually the captain of Yao Yuan's bodyguard team.

Yakov stepped on the brakes to the bottom, and the car behind stepped on the brakes almost at the same time.

"Reverse." Yao Yuan looked sideways to the right.

Yakov reversed the car immediately without saying a word, and the driver of the car behind reacted very quickly and reversed the car quickly.The cooperation between them is very tacit, otherwise they will bump into each other if they make a slight mistake.

Of course, in Jiang Yong's eyes, these are all pediatrics, and he has already seen that these Eastern Europeans have actual combat experience.

"stop."

Yao Yuan opened the car door and got out of the car.

Jiang Yong, the co-pilot, quickly got out of the car and followed, and Lu Sen trotted over quickly.

Yakov got out of the car, made a few gestures, and the bodyguards quickly spread out to occupy various advantageous positions.

"Boss?" Lu Sen asked in a low voice.

Yao Yuan ignored him, but stood in front of the sign and looked at it carefully and repeatedly.

This is a very small unit, and it can be seen from the door that it is not only small but also has poor efficiency, but the name written on the sign reminds Yao Yuan of something important.

"100 Ninth Street, Pilsen, Zells Power Research Institute."

Yao Yuan frowned and searched for memories.

Wu Ning also came over, just as confused as Lu Sen.

Lu Sen recalled it repeatedly, and then said with certainty, "Boss, I know this research institute. We have investigated all the factories and research institutes in Pilsen. Although the name of this institute is quite intimidating, it is actually a A private company with only a dozen employees, half dead. The boss seems to be a native of Pilsen. I forget the name, but it must be in the information.”

He turned back to the car, took out his leather bag and dug out the directory to find it.

Lu Sen's work is very solid, even such a small unit has been investigated, it can be said that the city of Pilsen is almost turned upside down.

Wu Ning wrapped his scarf and said, "Power Research Institute? Such a small unit, at least in the world, has never been heard of."

Yao Yuan is still reminiscing, carefully searching for information about the "Zells Institute of Power" from the vast memory of later generations.
