In her previous life, Jiang Haitang was an absolute fool. After becoming a widow at barely 16, she never remarried, serving as a blood bag for her in-laws, raising her brother-in-law, taking care o...
Chapter 240 Visit
Everyone smiled knowingly.
Jiang Haitang suddenly remembered something and took out a notebook from the drawer and handed it to Counselor Zheng. "These are some ideas I've sorted out over the past few days. I originally thought they were nothing, but judging by what happened today, I'm afraid it's not safe to keep them with me."
Counselor Zheng took the notebook from Jiang Haitang and nodded, saying, "Your consideration is very thoughtful. Perhaps the next action will be taken soon."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the corridor.
The hotel manager came running over in a panic: "Gentlemen, there are reporters downstairs who want to interview the Chinese delegation!"
Counselor Zheng and Vice Minister Zhou looked at each other and immediately understood each other's intention, which was to use the media to exert pressure.
Counselor Zheng made a prompt decision: "Captain Zhou, you and Comrade Jiang Haitang stay in the room. I'll handle this."
"No," Jiang Haitang suddenly said. "Counselor Zheng, they want an interview with the delegation. If you show up, they might hold you back. Since they want an interview, why don't we respond directly?" She pointed to another notebook. "This is all public information. We can use this opportunity to demonstrate our sincerity in learning."
Counselor Zheng took another notebook nearby, flipped through it briefly, and showed an approving look: "That makes sense. But please be careful not to mention anything else. Let's just talk about technical exchanges."
Ten minutes later, the hotel lobby was packed with reporters.
Jiang Haitang stood in front of the camera and introduced the delegation's learning achievements in fluent German: "We are particularly interested in your country's research in the field of precision machining, such as the one introduced in this Mechanical Manufacturing Monthly..."
The way she spoke so eloquently surprised the reporters present.
The questions asked by the reporter were very tricky, and their purpose was to make Jiang Haitang say information that was unfavorable to the Chinese delegation. However, Jiang Haitang's thinking logic was very strict. He only talked about the two aspects of communication and learning, and did not mention anything else.
The next day, the local newspaper published the interview with the headline "The professional qualities of Chinese technicians are admirable."
At the same time, an anonymous letter of complaint was also sent to the Anti-Monopoly Investigation Committee of Country D.
Hans did not show up at the technical exchange meeting three days later.
The meeting was chaired by Dr. Schmidt, who was particularly enthusiastic about the Chinese delegation: "We have noticed your sincerity in technical exchanges and hope to develop deeper cooperation..."
That night, she continued studying in the study in her dream space. In just a few days, Jiang Haitang felt that she had learned more than what she had learned in half a year in China.
She now knew that the key to opening the dream space was new knowledge. With new knowledge, she could open the dream space and learn relevant knowledge.
Obviously, there are no such convenient conditions in China as in Country D.
During the communication here, a new knowledge point will emerge from time to time.
The only thing that made Jiang Haitang regretful was that the content he learned from the dream space could not be sorted out for the time being and could only be stored in his mind.
She was also worried about what would happen if, over time, too much knowledge accumulated in her mind caused confusion.
Therefore, after getting up every morning, Jiang Haitang would review the relevant content.
"Comrade Haitang, it's time to set off." The staff member whispered a reminder outside the door, waking up Jiang Haitang who was still recalling what he had learned.
Today the delegation will visit the famous Krupp Precision Machinery Factory in Country D. This is an itinerary specially arranged by Dr. Schmidt.
Jiang Haitang locked the notebook in the drawer and changed into the navy blue Dacron suit, which was the "diplomatic uniform" that the ministry agreed to issue before going abroad.
When you wear it, your temperament will be very different.
The factory is located on the banks of the Rhine, and its huge building shines metallically in the sun.
As soon as the delegation got off the car, they saw Dr. Schmidt and several engineers coming towards them.
"Captain Zhou, we've specially arranged a CNC machine workshop today." Schmidt shook hands warmly, but his eyes kept glancing at Jiang Haitang. "I heard that Comrade Jiang is very knowledgeable about automated control?"
Jiang Haitang's heart tightened.
This workshop, as a new thing, can be said to represent the current highest productivity. It is usually not open to foreign delegations, let alone the Chinese delegation.
She glanced secretly at Vice Minister Zhou, who nodded imperceptibly.
The scene in the workshop made everyone hold their breath. More than a dozen brand-new CNC machine tools were neatly arranged, robotic arms were automatically changing tools, and complex parameters were jumping on the display.
This is the most advanced manufacturing technology currently available, at least ten years ahead of existing domestic equipment.
Jiang Haitang looked at it and her eyes turned red. It would be great if China could have such manufacturing technology!
"This is our latest KPM-75 model," the chief engineer proudly introduced, pointing to the giant device in the center. "It uses a closed-loop control system, and its repeatability reaches 0.001 mm."
The delegation members exclaimed in amazement.
Jiang Haitang stared at the control cabinet thoughtfully. She had seen the drawings of this design in her dream space, but it seemed that the one in front of her had been obviously simplified.
"Ms. Jiang seems to have a different opinion?" Schmidt asked suddenly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Jiang Haitang took a deep breath, walked to the front of the equipment, and sighed, "It's a very sophisticated servo system. However, if we add a temperature compensation module here, it should be able to solve the problem of accuracy drift caused by thermal deformation."
The scene suddenly became eerily quiet.
The chief engineer's expression changed again and again, and finally he excitedly held Jiang Haitang's hand.
"Oh my God! We've spent three months trying to find the problem! How did you…"
"Theoretical derivation." Jiang Haitang smiled. "There's a nonlinear relationship between the thermal expansion coefficient of metals and the feedback from the control system."
On the contrary, the Chinese representatives looked at Jiang Haitang with a somewhat subtle look.
In their opinion, even if Jiang Haitang saw the problem, he should not point it out. After all, pointing it out is equivalent to helping others.
But during the subsequent visits, the other party's enthusiasm for their group had obviously increased a lot. Not only did they allow them to observe up close, they even agreed to let them do it themselves.
Soon, the delegation understood why Jiang Haitang pointed out the other party's shortcomings today.
On the return trip, the atmosphere among the delegation was very lively.
Deputy Minister Zhou called Jiang Haitang to his side and whispered, "Today is too risky."
"I know, Vice Minister Zhou." Jiang Haitang pinched the corner of her clothes, "but this is the best chance to gain their trust. And..."
She pulled a folded piece of paper from her pocket. "This was slipped to me by the chief engineer."
Vice Minister Zhou unfolded the slip of paper, which contained a phone number and an address. "What is this?"
"I got an invitation from his private laboratory. He said he had some 'real technology' he wanted to discuss with me."
Vice Minister Zhou frowned and said, "It could be a trap."
Jiang Haitang is his big baby, he can't allow Jiang Haitang to be in any risk.
"It could also be a breakthrough." Jiang Haitang's eyes were firm.
If she didn't take risks, it would be difficult for her to master the core technology. After all, due to the lack of relevant knowledge points, she only saw a rough blueprint in her dream space and had no way to transform the blueprint into technology and machinery.
If I talk to the chief engineer a few more times this time, maybe I can open up a new field of knowledge in the dream space.
For this, Jiang Haitang felt that even taking the risk was worth it.
At this time, at Hans's home.
Hans slammed his whiskey down on the table.
The notice of suspension and investigation was right in front of him, and what made him even more angry was the news he received this morning that the Krupp factory had actually shown its core workshop to the Chinese!
His group was in competition with Krupp Factory. What was Krupp Factory planning to do? Was it planning to take over the Chinese market?
"Boss, there's new information." The secretary hurried in, handing over a surveillance report. "That Chinese woman went to the East City Cafe and met alone with Krupp's chief engineer."
Hans narrowed his eyes.
He pressed the call button: "Klaus, take your camera and come with me."
In a secluded room in the cafe, Jiang Haitang was drawing a diagram on his notebook. "So you think the key to the harmonic reducer lies in the material of the flexible bearing?"
"Exactly!" Chief Engineer Wolfgang lowered his voice, "But we're stuck on the material formula. I wonder if Miss Jiang can give us some support in this regard?"
For some reason, Wolfgang felt that the young oriental woman in front of him could help him. Perhaps when she was able to point out the problems during just a simple visit, he already believed that the person in front of him was extraordinary.
But before Jiang Haitang could say anything, he suddenly said vigilantly: "It's not safe here. Come tomorrow and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up and take you to my laboratory."
Jiang Haitang was also a cautious person and immediately realized that something was wrong, so she immediately changed the subject.
"I'm very interested in today's machine tools. I hope your factory can provide us with a set of equipment..."
Naturally, the two parties were unable to reach a consensus on the topic of purchasing machine tools, and ultimately, they parted ways unhappily.
Jiang Haitang left the cafe angrily.
On the way back to the hotel, Jiang Haitang deliberately took a detour through several alleys, pretending to be strolling around. She even bought a few small items before returning to the hotel.
Jiang Haitang reported today's conversation with Wolfgang to Vice Minister Zhou.
"Haitang, no matter what time, your safety is the most important. Only with people can we have technology!" Deputy Minister Zhou said to Jiang Haitang earnestly.
Although China needs new technologies, new technologies cannot be achieved at the cost of human lives.
Wolfgang's private laboratory is hidden in an old building on the outskirts of the city.
As soon as Jiang Haitang entered the door, he was shocked by the design drawings covering the walls. This was real cutting-edge technology, much more advanced than what was displayed in the factory.
