A doctor who travels through two eras

Lin Sanqi continued to pretend that he knew nothing and led the tour group to the assembly workshop.

In one workshop, the US delegation seemed very interested in the production process of the Chinese workers. They smiled, nodded, and gave thumbs up from time to time, as if they were little fans.

A few foreigners deliberately asked their companions to cover them and began to secretly put the parts into bags, clothes and bags.

They thought they were doing it secretly, but in fact, in the corner of the factory, several cameras were zooming in on a few Americans who were stealing.

At this time, Peter Welch also whispered to Hank Allen, the director of the China Liaison Office:

"According to our initial observation, there are no foreign labels on any of the production lines, let alone Russian ones. However, it is very strange that there are many 'Southwest Medical Device Factory' logos on the production lines."

Hank Aaron thought for a while and then shook his head:
"Southwest Medical Equipment Factory? It seems that there is no such factory in our intelligence. This is strange. Or is it that our intelligence work is not done well? It seems that this is our biggest mistake."

The old Americans had no doubts about the existence of this factory, because in those days there was an administrative agency called the "Southwest Bureau", which generally referred to the area around Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

Peter Welch consoled:

"The southwest is too far and too remote, so it's normal that our people can't infiltrate. And you can see that these production lines have reached the level of semi-automation, which is more advanced than our country.

Look at that machine again. I don’t know what the structure and principle are, but it can spit out a complete X-ray tube. It’s amazing. It would be great if we could take the machine apart and take a look.”

(Lin Sanqi: Should I tell you that all this is a fake, that this part was produced in advance and pretended to be spit out of the machine, just to show you foreigners?)
Hank Aaron looked at the Chinese workers around him, his eyes rolling around, and shook his head helplessly, as if dismantling other people's machines under the eyes of the Chinese workers was an impossible task.

At this time, the bell in the workshop suddenly rang.

Just when the Americans were at a loss, a worker shouted: "It's lunch time, everyone go eat, and work will start at 2 pm."

The workers began to stop the production line and walked out of the workshop in twos and threes.

Hank Allen quickly grabbed a Chinese escort passing by and asked:

"Sir, we are still on the tour. What should we do if you leave? Can you give us more time?"

The staff member said indifferently:
"It's okay. You are our most distinguished guests. You can visit as you like. It's time to get off work now. I don't want to work overtime beyond the 8 hours. You can look around as you like. But first, let me make it clear that you can't touch our machines."

Hank Aaron nodded repeatedly: "Don't move, we are just looking at the appearance and sincerely admire the technological progress of your country."

"Yeah, it's more advanced than your country, the United States, right? Haha, then continue your tour."

Seeing the workers and accompanying staff leave, Hank Aaron always felt something was wrong
In the past, the Chinese side required Americans to strictly limit their activities to the representative offices. If they wanted to visit any unit or even go shopping on the street, they had to be accompanied by Chinese staff and follow the route arranged by the Chinese side. They were absolutely not allowed to act on their own.

How come this high-tech confidential factory is open today and can be visited freely?

Just when Hank Allen was still wondering if there was any conspiracy involved, Peter Welch interrupted with surprise:

"Hank, this is a good opportunity. While these workers are having lunch, let's quickly dismantle a machine and take a look."

A middle-aged white man next to him also patted his backpack:

"I brought a full set of disassembly tools. Let's open the machine casing and take some quick photos of the machine's internal structure. It will be done in 20 minutes."

"I'm also good at dismantling machines. Let's do it now while no one is around."

Americans are very confident. Overconfidence leads to arrogance. They think they are superior to others. So what if they are caught in the act?
Hank Aaron was so excited by everyone's encouragement that he got carried away:

"OK, let's hurry up and dismantle this machine and that machine and restore them to their original state as quickly as possible."

Several American engineers immediately took out tool boxes from their backpacks and began to prepare to operate on the Chinese production line. In the high-voltage generator workshop, the Russians also stole a few parts and were trying to put them into their coats.

Just then the doorbell rang and the workers stopped their machines one after another and prepared to go to the canteen for lunch.

This puzzled Kolokoltsev:

"Strange, don't Chinese people always work day and night and overtime? Why do they suddenly have a lunch break like Americans?"

The secretary next to him quickly explained to the leader:
"Chinese people are very concerned about their reputation. With so many foreigners visiting today, they must show that they are strictly following the eight-hour work system. After we leave tomorrow, they will resume the 8-hour work system."

Compared to the insidious and cunning Americans, the Russians are even more arrogant. They have always regarded themselves as the Big Brother. Does the Big Brother have to seek consent from you, the little brother, before doing anything?

Kolokoltsev waved his hand:
"You are curious about their production technology and production line. This is a good opportunity. Take it apart and study it carefully to see where their technology comes from. It is very important for us to crack their secrets!"

"Yes, Mr. Ambassador!"

Kolokoltsev's rank was deputy ministerial level and he was the leader of all members of the delegation. No one dared to disobey him.

At this time, the delegations from the United States and the Soviet Union had transformed into maintenance workers, trying desperately to steal other people's technology.

Lin Sanqi had secretly received the intelligence, and the Americans and Russians could not help but take action.

So when Lin Sanqi enthusiastically invited the American delegation and the Russian delegation to have lunch together, what he saw was a pile of spare parts, and Americans and Soviets holding up cameras and taking all-round photos of the inside of the machine...

Lin Sanqi opened his mouth wide, his expression full of confusion, surprise, anger, and rage. The American knew that something bad was going to happen as soon as he saw the face of the Chinese reception staff.

"Gentlemen, I need your explanation. We very kindly invited you to come and see our latest technology, and you actually want to steal our technology?"

No matter how thick-skinned Americans are, they know how embarrassing it is to be caught in the act.

Hank Aaron swallowed his saliva and quickly smiled:
"Lin, do you believe me if I tell you this is a misunderstanding? We just saw an interesting toy, so we wanted to take it apart to see what kind of magical structure is inside. Didn't you tell us to visit it at will? So..."

Lin Sanqi was very angry:
"We let you visit, not ask you to disassemble our precious machines. Do you know how much manpower and material resources our country spent to build these two machines? We can say that we have mobilized the whole country."

As Lin Sanqi spoke, he walked around angrily among the spare parts on the floor.

At this time, Leader Cheng also walked in quickly from outside the factory and shouted angrily:

"How can you destroy our machines at will?"

All the attention of the Americans was immediately drawn to this Chinese leader.
But no one noticed that Lin Sanqi was holding a small "冂-shaped" rack in his hand and quietly took away several important starting parts.

Hank Aaron scratched his head: "Hey, we can reinstall it, we promise you, and we can give you all our films."

The Americans had hidden the real film long ago just to prevent this kind of attack.

Leader Cheng's face turned grim, and he said in a deep voice, "It cost us hundreds of millions of dollars to develop these production line machines. If you can't install them, we will never give up."

The Americans breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Chinese really didn't dare to do anything to them.

It's just a simple reinstallation. This job is too easy for American engineers and they can do it with their eyes closed. Once the fake film is handed over, today's scandal will seem to be over.

The Americans were preparing to install the machine. Lin Sanqi had quietly left Workshop 1 and came to Workshop 3 where the Russians were, and started his performance again... (End of this chapter)
