Bonn, the capital of West Germany, is a well-known historical city in Germany. The famous musician Beethoven was born here. Marx, the founder of another human ideology, also studied in Bonn for many years. The entire city is home to more than 300,000 residents, which is one of the few big cities in West Germany. Liang Yuan always feels a bit strange when looking at the plane travel manual. A big city with a population of 300,000 is closely related to millions of people.

In the early morning of local time, the uncle and nephew who had been floating in the sky for 12 hours finally got off the plane. Liang Haiping was pulled by Liang Yuan and smoothly completed the entry procedures. After leaving the airport, Liang Yuan yawned and said to the taxi driver: "Go to the International House Hotel on Friedrich Street." The International House Hotel is located in a century-old building in the center of Bonn. Adolf Waller Carr, a German engineer who had been stationed in Liang Yuan's company in his previous life, highly recommended this hotel in his hometown to Liang Yuan. In Carr's words, you will experience the original German style here.

Bonn is one of the best green cities in Europe. The flowers and plants are endless all year round, and the city is very clean and fresh. Although it is night, through the lights, you can see that the entire city is hidden in a green shade. The taxi driver Duncan is very curious about Liang Yuan, who speaks local accents, and chats with Liang Yuan all the way. After learning that Liang Yuan is from a distant ancient country in the East and is preparing to go to Democratic Germany, he enthusiastically provided the number of trains and flights to Leipzig. After arriving at the hotel, Duncan left a phone number for Liang Yuan, and he could greet him at any time with a car in Bonn.

The International House Hotel is not big, with only three floors in total, with a typical Gothic steep building. Standing downstairs, you can see that there is a small terrace outside each room, full of authentic German architectural style. After completing the hotel stay, the waitress at the front desk on the floor looked at the two of them with an oriental hole, and also specifically reminded him that the breakfast on the first floor restaurant provides free sushi. The exhausted Liang Yuan was no longer able to correct the difference between the service lady and the Japanese. After climbing into the room, he fell asleep without even taking a shower.

After sleeping for a night without a dream, Liang Yuan, who had naturally woken up, slowly regained consciousness. Feeling the air conditioning on his arms and the cool quilt that was as light as flying feathers on his body, Liang Yuan seemed to have returned to the doghouse he had in Shengjing in his previous life. He suddenly shuddered and opened his eyes. The German-style wooden window frame with complicated decorations came into his eyes. Fortunately, he thought he had worn it back. I have to admit that the comfort level of this bed is the closest to that of his previous life.

Liang Yuan looked at his watch and it was already past eight o'clock in the morning. As soon as he turned over on the bed, he heard Liang Haiping say, "Xiaoyuan is awake."

"Uncle got up so early?"

"How can you be like you, heartless. My uncle woke up at six o'clock and couldn't sleep."

Liang Yuan stretched hard, yawned and said, "Don't worry, uncle, if you have the chance, uncle will see our ultimate goal in Germany in Bonn."

After getting up and washing up, Liang Yuan took Liang Haiping downstairs to have breakfast. When he entered the restaurant, the waiter indeed brought a Japanese menu. The Japanese in 1987 were waving the Japanese yen and buying the whole world. Liang Yuan had no intention of correcting the waiter's mistakes. After just 20 years, it would be the Chinese who waving the money from various countries to buy the whole world. At that time, things like Gongbo Chicken Ding would climb onto the breakfast menu of this hotel.

Liang Haiping and Liang Yuan shook their cheeks and killed five or six portions of sushi in the waiter's slightly surprised eyes, ate another German grilled sausage, and drank two bowls of corn soup. Before leaving the restaurant, Liang Yuan burped loudly, looked at the waiter's somewhat contemptuous gaze, Liang Yuan smiled slightly, tried hard to squeeze out a loud fart, raised his chin to the waiter and walked out.

Liang Haiping looked at his nephew's desperately smear of the Japanese image and smiled, thinking that he didn't know where this little guy got so many messy thoughts.

After breakfast, Liang Yuan, who had a clear idea, called Duncan and answered the two of them to Bonn Railway Station.

The red-brown Bonn Central Railway Station is a typical Romanesque building with a clear outline, with semi-circular doors and windows equipped with bucket arcades, and light gray cross vaults and low Baroque style towers. Walking into the station, Liang Yuan found that the inside of the station did not use the domestic high-speed rail station in the later generations, the arc-shaped dome that was so high that people looked up to it, but used a large area of ​​flat-ceiling shed, which was combined with the milky white lighting to give people a thick, warm and steady feeling.

Germany is currently in a split state, so there is only one train to Leipzig in East Germany every day. After showing its passport, Liang Yuan bought two tickets to Leipzig at the manual ticketing point. He took the sled to the second floor of the station. The two of them found a position by the window and sat down. Liang Yuan looked at the railway line under his feet from time to time through the glass window.

In 1987, West Germany's quasi-high-speed intercity railway network had already been in operation. Every half hour, trains from Bonn to Munich, Bonn to Frankfurt, Bonn to Cologne and other places passed by.

A few minutes later, an intercity train led by a Type 103 electric locomotive slowly drove into Bonn Station. Liang Haiping looked at Liang Yuan staring at the round-headed and round-headed Type 103 in the distance and asked, "Is this the ultimate goal you are talking about?"

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "No, this machine head is a West German 103 series electric locomotive. The entire series is powered by DC motors, which is out of date."

Liang Yuan waited for countless trains to enter and leave the station, but did not see the 120 electric locomotive he was looking forward to.

Two hours later, Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping arrived at the platform at the prompt from the announcer, waiting for the train from Cologne to Leipzig to enter the station. The two of them had just found the waiting position according to the ticket number. A dark red painted with a slight curved nose appeared at the end of the railway. Liang Yuan recognized this epoch-making railway locomotive at a glance.

Liang Yuan, who was a little excited, pulled Liang Haiping and said, "Uncle, I am talking about this machine head."

Liang Haiping stretched his neck and looked at it for a while and said, "My uncle looked like the shape was squarer than the one I just did, so I didn't see any difference."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "This 120 head is the world's first electric locomotive powered by a three-phase AC motor. West Germany has just developed it successfully. I should know the advantages and disadvantages of AC motors and DC motors."

After contracting the overhaul factory, Liang Haiping, who had put a lot of effort into the bottom and internal combustion shunt machines, nodded and said, "The AC motor does not have a commutator or brush, basically does not need to be maintained. The service life and manufacturing cost are much stronger than DC motors. Moreover, if driven by AC motors, the curb weight of the locomotive will be much lighter."

"But this machine is from West Germany. Xiaoyuan, aren't you going to East Germany to introduce technology?" Liang Haiping asked in confusion.

"That's why we say that this motorcycle is our ultimate goal for coming to Germany. Don't worry, I will get this thing sooner or later. I'll just wait for the production." Liang Yuan said mysteriously.
