Amidst Cao Wenzhi's knocking on the door.
Li Aiguo woke up from his sleep and hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door.
"Li Aiguo, why are you still sleeping? It's almost three o'clock!"
It was already half past two in the afternoon. Liu Chunhua stipulated that they should gather in front of the main section at two o'clock in the afternoon, and then go to the practical examination room together to take the exam at three o'clock.
If you cannot sign the record book before three o'clock, you will not be able to take the practical exam.
Cao Wenzhi was also anxious now, so he opened his mouth and began to scold.
Late...Li Aiguo woke up instantly.
Gritting his teeth secretly, needless to say, it was Liu Chunhua’s fault again!
At noon, in order to allow each candidate to have a good rest, the chief section specially arranged for them to stay in the guest house of the chief section.
Cao Wenzhi was worried about his children at home, so he went back temporarily, and the task of leading the team was handed over to Liu Chunhua.
It stands to reason.
Liu Chunhua should wake up every candidate before gathering, count the number of people, and wait for everyone to arrive before leading the team to the practical examination room.
It was almost the exam, and he didn't call himself. The anger in his heart suddenly rose, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "Master Cao, Director Liu Chunhua promised before that he would call me before the exam."
"She didn't call you? When I left, I specifically told Liu Chunhua to count the number of people during the gathering to ensure that every candidate was present." Cao Wenzhi frowned.
He had long noticed that Liu Chunhua was targeting Li Aiguo everywhere, but he did not expect that Liu Chunhua would dare to be tricky in such a critical matter.
If Li Aiguo really fails to catch up with the practical exam and cannot successfully take over, he will definitely go to the main section to find the section leader or even the director.
When the time comes, does Liu Chunhua really think that her deputy section chief can protect her?
This woman is really big-breasted and brainless!
"No one called me at all!"
"Now is not the time to pursue this matter. I will report the situation to Duan Li. You go take the exam first and don't waste time." Cao Wen changed the subject.
Li Aiguo put on his clothes and shoes as quickly as possible, ran to the water room, huffed and washed his face, and then ran all the way. In less than ten minutes, he ran to the training ground.
The so-called practical operation site is actually several criss-crossing sections of railway track next to the main construction section, on which three 'August 1st' steam locomotives are parked.
Under the sunlight, the steam locomotive shone with metallic luster, like a beast ready to go.
At this time, the candidates who participated in the practical exercise had already arrived and were queuing up to sign and draw numbers.
Zhang Dahua saw Li Aiguo running over in a hurry and waved to him: "Aiguo, didn't Liu Chunhua say you came to the examination room early? Why did you arrive now?"
Li Aiguo ran over to sign his name, got the number plate, walked to Zhang Dahua and gritted his teeth.
"That bitch lied to you. If Master Cao hadn't knocked on the door, I would definitely have missed the exam."
"Lied to me?"
Even though Zhang Dahua was slow to react, he understood now: "She must be doing it for her brother. This woman is so bad. You will be so angry when you take first place later!"
"It's needless to say, I'm here just to be a benchmark in driver skills!" Li Aiguo straightened his chest.
The practical test is very simple. You just need to drive a train and run for seven or eight kilometers on the railway track.
But whether you can get high scores depends on the candidate's operational level.
The steam engines used in this era had few automated electronics.
All operations must be manually controlled by the driver, which is cumbersome and difficult, and requires a lot of effort.
Zhang Dahua was ranked fifth. When the examiner called her name, she took out a steamed bun from her canvas pocket and started chewing it.
Fist-sized buns were stuffed into the mouth in twos and twos.
Zhang Dahua wiped the steamed buns from the corner of his mouth and stared at the stunned young examiner: "What's the matter, are you not allowed to eat steamed buns during the exam?"
The young examiner, who was in his twenties and had obviously never seen the world, was immediately stunned by Zhang Dahua.
He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "There is no such rule..."
"Then why are you still stunned? Hurry up and open the door."
"Oh..."
The young examiner stretched out his hand to open the car door, but an old comrade next to him couldn't stand it anymore.
"Zhang Dahua, don't act nonsense. If your father finds out, he won't let you eat at night."
"I knew I would file a complaint..."
Zhang Dahua shrank his neck, opened the car door by himself, and climbed up to the train building.
Li Aiguo stood below and could not see the situation above.
Three to five minutes later, bursts of black smoke were seen coming out of the train's chimney, followed by two crisp whistles.
The train moved slowly, gradually accelerated, and roared along the track like a monster, disappearing into the track covered by the woods.
According to the exam regulations, each candidate must drive the train for five kilometers with the assistance of a co-driver and then return. The entire distance is about ten kilometers.
The ten-kilometer journey takes just over twenty minutes for a train traveling at a speed of up to 40km/h.
If there is a serious timeout, the candidate will definitely fail.
Li Aiguo was chatting with several candidates while paying attention to the timer next to him.
really.
When the time jumped to 20 minutes, there was a roar in the distance and the ground began to shake.
With two whistles, the train began to slow down and finally stopped not far ahead.
Li Aiguo saw two examiners bringing rulers and running over to measure where the train stopped.
Only then did he discover that in the train stop area, comrades from the education section of the main section had used white lime to draw a line on the railway track.
When a train stops, the closer it is to the lime line, the higher the train driver's stopping ability.
Li Aiguo once studied in technical manuals.
For example, the "August 1st" steam locomotive used in the exam weighs 92.07 tons at the front, and the unladen carriage weighs 66 tons.
Today's locomotive has a total of fourteen carriages.
The total weight of the train is up to 1,000 tons.
It is difficult in itself to accurately park a thousand-ton behemoth in a designated area.
not to mention.
The braking system of a locomotive and the braking system of a carriage are not the same thing.
When the train slows down, the train driver has to operate two sets of braking systems at the same time based on the weight and speed of the train. You can imagine the difficulty.
If.
In the previous life, reversing a large trailer into a warehouse could test the quality of a large truck driver, while the fixed stop of a train was enough to illustrate the level of the train driver.
....
"Fifteen meters away from the spot! Excellent results!"
After hearing the number reported by the examiner, Zhang Dahua, who had just jumped out of the car, excitedly waved his fist.
'This little girl is so amazing. She was only fifteen meters short, which should be the best result today. '
'That's for sure. I've heard that Zhang Dahua's grandfather was the first generation driver here. '
'With such a rich family background, no wonder a little girl dares to drive a train. '
The candidates nearby and the teacher leading the team couldn't help but applaud.
It is really not easy for an eighteen-year-old girl to be able to accomplish things that many experienced drivers cannot do.
The results of the practical exam were announced on the spot, with a perfect score of 100 points, and Zhang Dahua finally scored 92 points.
If her results in the cultural class are not too high, she will become a strong contender for the top three.
