Liang Haiping picked up the newspaper again and looked at it, saying, "Xiaoyuan plans to introduce a tram? But it looks quite like a subway. If it can be changed to a subway in the future, dual-use electric rails will be good."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "My uncle was wrong this time. Federal and German did not even want to build this line into a tram."

"My uncle, please look at it. There are no pantographs on the trams above these trains." Liang Yuan said, pointing at the five streamlined trains.

Liang Haiping picked up the newspaper and looked at it. Sure enough, he found that these trains were different from common trams or railway systems. Although the resolution of the pictures in the newspaper was not high, Liang Yuanping still noticed that the viaduct where the train was organized was actually T-shaped. After taking a closer look at the pictures of the train marshalling, Liang Haiping suddenly realized that these trains were actually running on the T-shaped track. What kind of train is this? Liang Haiping was very puzzled.

"Sure enough, unlike ordinary trains, I haven't noticed it yet. The marshalling teams in these sections actually run on tracks. I have never seen them. Xiaoyuan, what kind of train is introduced in the newspaper?" Liang Haiping asked.

Liang Yuan handed the newspaper to Liu Wenyue, who was also puzzled, and then said: "Uncle, this thing is called a magnetic levitation train, which is a newly developed transportation tool in the Federal Republic of Germany."

"Magnetic levitation?" Liang Haiping repeated in confusion.

Although Liang Haiping has put a lot of effort into railway transportation in the past two years, he has become a monk after all and has not learned much about some relatively cutting-edge or rare technologies.

"This car sounds quite mysterious. In fact, the principle is very simple. The magnet has a strong attraction to steel-based substances. I must know that my uncle must have known it."

Looking at Liang Haiping, Liang Yuan nodded. Liang Yuan continued: "The magnetic levitation train in the Federal Republic of Germany takes advantage of this characteristic of magnets. Now we first install steel plates on the bottom of the "t" shaped rail."

"Then embrace the lower parts of both sides of the vehicle to the inner side of the rail. Install a powerful electromagnetic on the top of the inverted part of the lower part of the vehicle to form a steel plate on the top and the electromagnet on the bottom. After the vehicle starts, an electric current flows through the electromagnet. At this time, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnet attracts the steel plate installed at the bottom of the t-type rail, and the vehicle is lifted upwards." Liang Yuan pointed to the uniquely shaped T-type rail on the newspaper.

"When the attraction is balanced with the gravity of the vehicle, the vehicle can be suspended at a certain height above the guide rail. By changing the current, the magnitude of the magnetic field can be changed and the height of the suspension can be adjusted."

After hearing Liang Yuan's words, Liu Wenyue looked at the newspaper and sighed: "It turns out that this is magnetic levitation. Just after the Chinese New Year, the newspapers on the island introduced this new type of transportation, but there was no picture in the reports at that time, and they simply introduced the advantages of this kind of train."

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Taiwan authorities of the Democratic Party, which started the great economic development of the island, decided to build a high-speed transportation trunk line connecting Kaohsiung and Taipei's south and north. Since Taiwan's land ownership is very difficult to acquire land, the Taiwan authorities have introduced small land areas and adopted a plan to fully elevated maglev train.

"Oh. Lao Liu, the authorities on the island are also interested in maglev trains?" Liang Yuan asked curiously.

"Well, there is news that the Republic of China government plans to build a brand new high-speed transportation trunk line, and the maglev train should be one of the alternatives." Liu Wenyue said.

Liang Yuan, the famous Taiwanese high-speed railway, still knew that this high-speed transportation trunk project that started construction in 1998. Finally, with the strong intervention of Li Deng Hui, who is known as the Japanese survivor, he chose Japan's Shinkansen technology. The Shinkansen 700 series high-speed train was introduced, which made the first case for the export of Japanese Shinkansen technology to overseas.

However, the President of Chiang Jingguo, who was known as the pioneer of Taiwan's democracy, had just passed away. The infamous President Li Denghui, who was not yet disgusting as if I were a descendant of Japan, was more inclined to introduce high-speed transportation trunk technology in Europe, Germany and France.

If the technical source of Taiwan's high-speed railway could be decided a few years earlier, Taiwan's high-speed railway market would not have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Liang Yuan sighed and thought.

Liang Yuan would not know that Taiwan's high-speed rail was dragged for a long time. It was purely because the Kuomintang authorities attached a political condition when purchasing a magnetic levitation train or a high-speed wheel-rail train. At that time, the National Democratic Party authorities had proposed that if Germany purchased a magnetic levitation train technology, the additional condition was that Germany agreed to sell submarines to Taiwan. If France purchased a technical maglev, the additional condition was that France agreed to sell military aircraft to Taiwan.

Considering the influence of mainland China, the German and French governments rejected Taiwan's conditions. As a result, after Li Denghui led Taiwan's independence forces, he threw this piece of fat into the mouth of the Japanese.

"Xiaoyuan, how fast is this kind of train?" Liang Haiping noticed the words "Liu Wenyue" mentioned by the expressway trunk line.

"Uncle, remember what I told you at Dongda University last year that the train speed will reach 500-600 kilometers per hour in the future." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

"Hiss, it's so fast?" Liang Haiping took a breath of air conditioning.

"Haha, this one in front of me is not that fast." Liang Yuan said.

In the decrypted documents of later Federal Germany and Democratic Germany, both sides mentioned this maglev project that spans the entire Berlin.

At that time, the Federal Republic of Germany did not take out the tr-06 marshalling group that had just created a 406-kilometer extreme speed and a manned maglev train speed record in 1986, but instead took out the tr-05 maglev group exhibited at the International Transportation Exhibition in Hamburg in the late 1970s.

The tr-05 magnetic levitation train is the world's first magnetic levitation passenger system to be put into practical application. It caused a great sensation at the International Transportation Exhibition in Hamburg that year. During the three-week expo, the tr-05 magnetic levitation train transported more than 50,000 passengers in accordance with the transportation plan. Another magnetic levitation train technology power Japan, Japan, did not complete the experiment of a maglev train loading five people until the mlu001 superconducting magnetic levitation train that was tested in 1987.

"Uncle, yours and I are magnetic levitation trains that use superconducting technology, while the magnetic levitation train developed by the Federal Republic of Germany uses regular guidance technology to promote the suspension. The extreme speed is only between 400 and 500 kilometers per hour."

"400 kilometers per hour is fast enough. It's a fast speed to catch up with the plane. It's a waste to use it in the city of Berlin." Liang Haiping said smacking his lips.

"It can use 400 kilometers of extreme speeds in Berlin, and the train speed reaches 400 kilometers. The light noise will soon catch up with the take-off and landing of the jet."

"The Federal Republic of Germany proposed a new transportation system built throughout Berlin this time. The maglev technology planned to be used is developed based on the Tr-05 maglev train that completed the world's first maglev passenger transport task."

Liang Yuan opened the newspaper in front of him and pointed to a series of numbers and said: "The tr-05 modified magnetic levitation train is 28 meters long. It weighs 31.8 tons and can be installed up to 96 seats in a 2+2 way. The train levitation system uses electromagnetic support, and the guide propulsion system uses a synchronous stator linear motor. The design maximum speed reaches 137 kilometers per hour. It is expected to be able to cross the entire city of Berlin in 25 minutes."

"It sounds good, but Xiaoyuan, this thing is a brand new transportation system. Even if the technology can be introduced smoothly, how to produce, operate, and where to use it, the most important thing is which department leader of this thing?" Liang Haiping raised a series of questions.

After Liang Yuan heard Liang Haiping say it, he secretly admired him. It was no accident that my uncle was able to become a successful person with a net worth of tens of millions in his previous life. In a blink of an eye, he saw the biggest problem encountered in China after the introduction of magnetic levitation. Who will lead the leader?

The maglev and wheel rail dispute between the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway in later Republics can be said to be a big deal. After six years of hard work, the wheel rail faction struggled to overthrow the maglev. Although the defeated maglev team failed to sink the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, it also left a back-up that might be able to turn over in the distant future.

Driven by the maglev faction, Wusong Pudong, the economic center of the Republic, not only built the world's first maglev line to be officially put into commercial operation, but also left the Shanghai-Nanjing line's maglev tail.

Putting aside the technical issues of right and wrong for the time being, an important factor in the defeat of the maglev faction is that the entire maglev industry chain is moved outside the control of the Ministry of Railways of the Republic.

The Prime Minister of the Republic and the Mayor of Wusong, who promoted the maglev technology on the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, both intended to build a new large-scale industrial cluster with maglev technology as the core in the Yangtze River Delta region to improve the core competitiveness of the Republic.

However, things in the world are often unsatisfactory, and the Prime Minister of the Republic, who holds great power, is no exception. The Ministry of Railways, who has been passive, naturally fights back to the death.

At that time, Professor Yao Mengshu, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a professor at Northern Jiaotong University, director of the Tunnel Center of China Railway Engineering Corporation, director of the Tunnel and Underground Engineering Institute of Civil Engineering, Northern Jiaotong University, deputy chief engineer of the Tunnel Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, and a member of the Ninth and Tenth National People's Congress, Professor Yao Mengshu, who once spoke on behalf of the wheel and rail faction of the Republic, said the most core differences between the two factions.

Although the Republic has obtained the track construction technology of maglev trains through negotiations, core technologies such as maglev train bodies are still in Germany, and technology cannot be introduced for imported products.

The Republic's wheel-rail railway technology has a history of nearly a hundred years, forming an industrial army specializing in locomotive design, scientific research and innovation, with an industrial chain of more than 400,000 people with decades of design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance.

Finally, Academician Yao emphasized that magnetic levitation technology is in the hands of a few experts and professors, and does not meet the application conditions.

Putting aside the technical veil on the surface of things, the fundamental reason is a future dispute over the leadership of the Republic's railway. If magnetic levitation wins to become the main technology that dominates the Republic's future high-speed transportation trunk lines, it means that the power structure within the Ministry of Railways will undergo earth-shaking changes. At least countless technicians who rely on wheel and rail technology to make a living will definitely have a bleak future in the future. Countless people who have worked hard on wheel and rail careers will be eliminated by the tide of the times in the blink of an eye.
