Li Weidong lit a cigarette, stood in the cold wind, looked at Wang Zhixin's disappearing back, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
What a coincidence that I hit the pillow when I was dozing off.
Sure enough, those who rely solely on their own efforts will be the best wherever they go.
"Snapped!"
Just as he was saying it, he was patted heavily on the shoulder.
A hurried voice sounded: "Master, why are you still here? My brother is looking for you everywhere."
Look back.
I saw Niu Meng's face flushed with anxiety, and beads of sweat were falling down in the cold winter months.
"What's wrong?"
"Quick, quick, let's live here, the long-distance kind!" Niu Meng was so anxious that he even stuttered.
Damn it, I finally don’t have to sit in a factory to be miserable!
I'm a truck driver and I'm going to hit the road!
"Elbow, elbow." Li Weidong threw the cigarette butt to the ground and ran towards the convoy.
When he opened the cotton curtain of the captain's office, he saw Niu Yong walking around in the room like an ant on a hot pot.
His brows were knitted into knots, and he was cursing: "The General Affairs Office is just a bunch of losers. It's such an urgent job, why don't you notify me in advance so I can let Lao Bai wait?"
After that, he spat hard and uncivilized.
Seeing Li Weidong come in, the anxiety on Niu Yong's face disappeared, and he pulled him towards the repair shop.
"The sprinkler you asked Lao Zhang to weld can really cool down the brakes?"
"Of course, water can cool things down, that's something even a three-year-old knows."
Niu Yong: "..."
So, we drivers and mechanics are worse than children.
If the sprinkler had been manufactured earlier, Lao Bai wouldn't have to wait for Lao Bai every time he delivered goods to the 'State-owned 9621 Factory'.
…
Inside the repair shop.
Lao Zhang has installed the sprinkler and is leading the repairmen to debug it.
He got into the cab and pressed the mahogany handle.
The sprinkler sprays a stream of clean water, and the clean water flows out from under the wheel along the wheel hub.
"Yeah, there's water flowing down there!" Han Zhizhi, who was standing next to the wheel, quickly spread his legs and jumped up.
Li Weidong: "...."
Niu Yong strode over, stared at Lao Zhang and asked, "Master Zhang, are you sure there is no way to build another sprinkler within two hours?"
"Do you think the sprinkler is a toy? Even though this thing is just a water box, the things inside are very sophisticated.
That is to say, Driver Li's drawings are clearly marked, otherwise even if I knew about this thing, I wouldn't be able to build it in two or three months. "Lao Zhang felt that his business ability had been underestimated, and he held his head in defense.
These drivers are not good people. As long as the car breaks down, they will find trouble with the repairman.
When their mechanics are like God, they can fix it just by looking at the car.
It's Li Weidong who knows how to handle things and let his apprentice pass the cigarettes next to him.
This work is smooth and comfortable.
Niu Yong refused to give up and continued to ask: "Can the sprinkler be moved to another car?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, old cow, you made the mistake of relying on experience again. This sprinkler is high-tech and has a complete system. It will be useless if you remove it." Lao Zhang curled his lips.
Niu Yong sighed and said, "The only way is to let Wei Dong make this trip."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Weidong with complicated eyes: "You are the only one in your family. I originally wanted to wait until your wife was pregnant before letting you do such a first-class job, but now it seems that it is no longer possible."
Li Weidong: "..."
This...this sounds like you are seeking death!
Li Weidong frowned.
He has been joining the team for a while and knows that the team divides tasks into five levels according to driving difficulty.
The fifth level is the lowest, easy and simple.
For example, Li Weidong was ranked fifth in the factory two days ago.
The first level is the highest, usually those with extremely dangerous transportation tasks, such as delivering goods to mountainous areas.
Of course, the difficulty of the task is different, and the workload converted into it after completing the transportation task is also different.
There is a task list hanging on the wall of the team's lounge.
The first one on the list is Lao Bai. He has the longest working experience and the best skills. He usually takes the lead in dangerous tasks.
The second place is Shan Xiaolin. This guy likes to run long distances and win by quantity.
The task list is actually the honor list.
Every driver is proud to be at the front of the queue, and the competition is quite fierce.
Being in the front of the queue, everyone speaks louder in the convoy, and they are so loud!
The task volume list is reset every quarter, and those at the top of the list will receive generous rewards.
By the end of the year, the workload will be added up and the advanced elements will be selected.
My predecessor’s father’s bicycle ticket was a reward for progressive elements.
...
Niu Meng was originally excited to run a long distance, but when she heard that it was a first-class assignment, her heart tightened and her face turned pale.
Over the past few years, something has happened to someone in the team every year, mostly related to the execution of first-class missions.
"Brother, can't you find someone to drive the master's car, or should you drive it?"
Niu Yong: "..."
Your master can't take risks? Is your brother okay?
This sister, it’s okay if you don’t want it!
Li Weidong waved his hand and said to Niu Meng: "Apprentice, how many times have I taught you that drivers will not touch other people's cars easily. Because the condition of each car is different."
Trucks of this era were not like those of later generations, where they all came off the factory assembly line and had similar performance and operation.
Each of their cars is made from different parts and has different temperaments.
Like Li Weidong's car, if the speed exceeds fifty yards, it will automatically veer to the right.
If a person does not know the details and is not prepared in advance, something may happen.
Niu Meng also knew this, nodded, curled up his neck and remained silent.
....
In this era, the world is vast and the tasks are the greatest.
If there is danger, Li Weidong should step up, otherwise he will not be able to hold his head high in the team in the future.
"Captain, what is the specific mission?"
Niu Yong looked Li Weidong up and down. This guy's skills were already better than those of ordinary drivers.
Coupled with the blessing of the sprinkler, the task may be successfully completed this time.
"Come on, this matter is confidential, let's go to the office and talk about it."
When he came to the office, Niu Yong took out a file bag from the drawer and handed it to Li Weidong.
"The task is very simple, which is to deliver a batch of steel components to the state-owned 9621 Factory."
Good guy, delivering goods to third-line comrades.
Li Weidong dug up the introduction of the state-owned 9621 Factory in the file.
The state-owned 9621 Factory is the only factory in China that produces recoilless rifles. It is located near Zhangjia City. The Fifth Machinery Department coordinates the production plan and the steel rolling mill is responsible for supplying spare parts.
It is located in a mountainous area with no train access, so transportation tasks are undertaken by fleets.
It is more than 200 kilometers from Beijing to Zhangjia City. Even if the truck cannot pick up speed when it is heavily loaded and travels at a slow speed of 20 yards, it can be delivered in less than 7 hours.
As an experienced captain, does Niu Yong need to scare people?
Seeing Li Weidong's doubtful expression, Niu Yong took out a cigarette and lit it for him. He explained slowly beside him: "The task was issued twenty minutes ago. The state-owned 9621 factory is in urgent need of these steel components. Our superiors asked us to arrive before twelve o'clock in the evening." service."
"Time is really urgent. As long as we set off immediately, we can make it in time." Li Weidong puffed out smoke.
Niu Yong said: "The key issue is that from the capital to Zhangjiakou, you need to pass through Tangou."
Tangou? This name seems familiar!
Li Weidong stood up and searched on the map.
When his fingers touched the crooked line, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Isn’t Tangou the location of the Tangou Tunnel, known as the Valley of Death in later generations?
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, more than two to three hundred accidents occurred near Tangou, killing hundreds of people.
The cause of the accident was simple. It was all due to the failure of the car's brakes.
There is a 6-mile long road with continuous turns and downhill slopes in Tangou, and the gradient of the slope reaches 300 meters.
When a large truck continuously applies the brakes, the brake system will lose its function due to overheating, resulting in a tragedy.
The trucks in the previous life couldn't stop the car, so you can imagine the trucks saved by the fleet.
"Originally, this task is usually assigned to Lao Bai, or a few more trucks are found to share it, but today's trucks have all been sent out, and it will be too late to wait for them to come back." Niu Yong's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Don't worry, captain! I'm running away from this job!" Li Weidong put out the cigarette butt on the table and nodded heavily.
As an experienced driver who has driven 10,000 times, this is something I have to deal with!
