Lin Sanqi led a group of foreign guests to walk around several workshops, introducing them as they went:
"Workshop No. 1 is where X-ray tubes are produced, so everyone must wear anti-static clothing. This is our core workshop and is not open to the public."
The workers on the production line were operating seriously and their movements were very careful and slow, which attracted foreigners to praise the Chinese workers for their great craftsmanship.
Only Lin Sanqi knew that these workers were actually engineers in disguise, and their movements were slow because they were not skilled enough in operating the production line.
"As you can see, we have already produced quite a few finished products, all on the operating table. We will then gather the parts from several workshops and take them to Workshop 4 for complete machine assembly."
Lin Sanqi picked up an X-ray tube and introduced it:
"Look, this is the tube of our X-ray machine. Don't be fooled by the fact that it looks like an ordinary glass tube. It actually contains very high-tech elements. You can see that there are metal blocks on both sides. We need to pump out all the air inside the glass tube to create a vacuum.
This metal block is divided into two parts: the anode and the cathode. The principle of generating X-rays is very simple: the cathode releases modulated electrons that collide with the anode.
Oh~~~~
A group of foreigners pretended to be enlightened, as if they all understood.
In fact, Lin Sanqi thought that at least half of these ambassadors from Asia, Africa and Latin America in the third world were relatives of the rich and powerful. It was not certain whether they had ever attended university, so what physics knowledge did they know?
Lin Sanqi was introducing the product in the front and did not notice that the staff from the United States and the Soviet Union pretended to drop their pens and notebooks from time to time, and then bent down and looked left and right on the production line.
What's even more outrageous is that they would go to the back and shine a flashlight directly on the bottom of the machine or the internal situation, and then take pictures with their cameras.
If Lin Sanqi had not repeatedly stressed that they should not be bothered, our country's special agents would have wanted to arrest them as spies and throw them out of the factory on the spot.
"What you're looking at now is a workshop dedicated to producing high-voltage generators. The function of an X-ray machine's high-voltage generator is to generate and output the high voltage required by the X-ray tube, as well as provide the voltage required to heat the filament. It's also a core component..."
Before Lin Sanqi finished speaking, the old Russians behind him were already shouting:
"Is this a high-voltage generator? Why is it so small?"
Due to technological limitations, high-voltage generators of this era looked very bulky and were about the size of a bedside table.
If it were Russian technology, the generators made by these rough guys would be even bigger, some as big as a desk.
The high-voltage generator in the workshop in front of me is like a shoe box and can be carried by one person.
This size reduction is not just about reducing space and weight, but can also be more conveniently used in laboratory research, industrial applications, medicine, the power industry, online particle accelerators, etc.
These are just for civilian use; others can also play a huge role in military industry.
For example, high-voltage generators can be widely used in protective equipment, rocket ammunition, aviation flight control, radar communications, satellite navigation and other fields.
Many diplomats from the United States and the Soviet Union were embassy staff on the surface, but their real identities were professional engineers. All of them were confused.
One of the American staff members couldn't help but ask loudly:
"Lin, how is the circuit inside your high-voltage generator designed? Can you show it to us?"
Lin Sanqi coughed lightly a few times:
"Mr. from the United States, if I were to visit your factory and ask to open your confidential high-tech parts on site, do you think you Americans would agree?"
The engineer blushed when he heard this, knowing that the Chinese couldn't even enter the factory, let alone take it apart.
Even decades later, they say that everyone is equal, but in the end, very few Chinese in the United States can work in core confidential departments.
Later, it became even more outrageous. All the Chinese and Chinese Americans who were working in core departments were laid off. The Americans were selectively blind to this blatant act of racial discrimination.
Seeing that Mi Ren had nothing more to say, Lin Sanqi continued to lead the "tour group" to the next workshop:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next workshop I'm going to take you to is the imaging accessories workshop. It has the most production lines, a total of five..."
The American and Soviet delegations, which had been leading the charge, now tacitly began to fall behind.
At this time, Hank Allen shouted loudly: "Lin, can you Chinese guarantee that we can visit freely?"
Lin Sanqi waved from a distance ahead: "If you don't want to listen to my explanation, you can visit freely."
Hank Allen signaled to his deputy, Peter Welch, with his eyes:
"Immediately disperse our engineers and first check where these production lines come from. As far as I know, China can't possibly possess such advanced X-ray production line technology. Even the United States doesn't have it.
Second, you must do everything you can to steal some spare parts and avoid being discovered by the Chinese."
"Yes, sir."
The Americans were plotting to steal, and the Russians were not much better. Kolokoltsev, who was as big as a bear, had his little eyes rolling around, and his whole body was full of tricks.
"Alexi, try to find out which country these production lines are from. There should be nameplates or markings on the inside of the machines, no matter what method you use.
Andre, your task is to cooperate with other comrades and find a way to take away some Chinese spare parts. You see they are piled there, all the workers are working with their heads down, and there is no one watching on the scene, so it should be very easy to take them.
Wait, why didn't the Chinese send anyone to keep an eye on us? Never mind, maybe they were too careless and too arrogant. This is our chance. Remember, don't let the Chinese find out."
On the Chinese side, outside the factory, there were actually many special agents secretly monitoring the visiting group throughout the entire process, especially the staff from the United States and the Soviet Union.
There are some things that everyone knows tacitly, for example, some embassy staff members may look gentle and like civilian workers, but they may be staff members of secret organizations, such as the CIA, the KGB, etc.
So it is impossible to have no supervision and let things run free.
This time, the relevant domestic departments simply changed the overt surveillance to covert surveillance. The reason for creating such a good environment for the special agents of the United States and the Soviet Union was to lure them into making mistakes.
As Lin Sanqi said before, this time the X-ray machine technology does not need to be kept secret at all
One is the X-ray machine. It is a simple technology. Sooner or later, the United States and the Soviet Union will be able to make it on their own. It is impossible for us to impose a technological blockade. Their scientific research capabilities are several times stronger than yours.
But if it is a black technology from the future, they can’t make it even if it is placed in front of them.
For example, the chips that Lin Sanqi brought are all "nano-level", exceeding the technological limits of this world.
Although my country's chip technology still lags behind the world's most advanced technology in 2023, and the smallest can only reach 7 nanometers, it is said that 5 nanometers is also possible, but it is not available on the market, and mass production is estimated to be difficult.
However, the chips in 1960 were all "micron-level", and the current technological capabilities of the United States and the Soviet Union were simply unable to imitate "nano"-level chips.
Therefore, Lin Sanqi is not worried at all that the United States and the Soviet Union will "steal" our technology. What he is afraid of now is that they are too honest to steal, and he is even planning to cheat them.
It is impossible for the production line to be concentrated in one workshop. Lin Sanqi introduced it to the foreign guests as he walked. Although almost 100% of the representatives from various countries could not understand this kind of science and engineering knowledge, it did not prevent them from pretending to listen with great interest.
After a while, a staff member quietly came to Lin Sanqi and whispered in his ear:
"Comrade Lin, it seems the Americans and Russians have already begun to act."
Lin Sanqi nodded slightly. "As planned, turn on the disguised cameras and record the entire process. Also, when the time is right, have the workers stop working, citing labor regulations and the time for lunch."
The staff nodded solemnly: "Okay." (End of this chapter)
