In the maintenance workshop.
Seeing the tense situation between the two sides, workshop director Lao Zhang stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the operation commander.
"Lao Liu, don't worry, no one wants an accident.
The locomotive we bought from Lao Maozi also had similar accidents in the past. This matter has nothing to do with Worker Zheng. "
The operation commander said angrily: "But as the representative of the Dalian factory, he has to remind us drivers in advance.
At the beginning, Lao Feng specifically asked him whether there would be refining tortoises burned in the furnace of the forward locomotive.
He swore that the forward locomotive had been improved and the coal burned more fully, so a similar situation would never happen.
Otherwise, Lao Feng wouldn't be so careless. "
The operations commander's eyes were already red at this time.
He had just gone to the locomotive depot hospital, and Lao Feng and the others had not yet woken up from their coma.
At this time, many train drivers gathered in the maintenance workshop.
Hearing this, everyone's faces were full of anger.
"When Dong Gong was here, he once told me that I should pay attention to the tortoise in winter."
"But at the winter driving training meeting a few days ago, Worker Zheng never mentioned this matter."
"I think Mr. Zheng is still responsible for this. He didn't take the lives of us train drivers into consideration."
Hearing the discussion, Engineer Zheng looked disapproving.
He snorted coldly and said: "I didn't design the forward locomotive, and I didn't make it. I'm just a technical representative. Why, I still have to take responsibility! I think you guys are just making trouble unreasonably."
As soon as these words came out, the train workers became angry.
Especially Cao Wenzhi.
He entered the maintenance section in the same year as Lao Feng, and worked with the same master, so they were brothers.
The feelings between the brothers are very strong these days.
He picked up a steel prong and rushed forward to deal with Engineer Zheng.
Engineer Zheng, who had been so arrogant just now, turned pale with fright.
"You, don't mess around. It's against the law to hit someone."
"It's you I'm beating today! If it weren't for you, Lao Feng and the others wouldn't be lying in the hospital."
For these train drivers who wear their heads on their belts, respect from others is extremely important.
Engineer Zheng didn't take the train driver seriously at all, which made Cao Wenzhi intolerable.
Even if he risks being punished, he must teach this guy a lesson.
The steel prong was raised high, emitting a little cold light under the light.
At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Old Cao, don't be ridiculous!"
Seeing Duan Chang Xing walking over, Cao Wenzhi could only put down the steel prong angrily.
"Commander Duan, this grandson is really nothing. Since he became the technical representative of the Dalian factory, there have been so many problems with the locomotives in our locomotive depot!" Cao Wenzhi said angrily with his eyes red.
"Old Cao, I will handle this matter."
At this time, Li Aiguo happened to come in. Duan Chang Xing asked Li Aiguo to pull Cao Wenzhi aside, and he walked to Engineer Zheng himself.
He took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it over: "Mr. Zheng, the train drivers in our locomotive depot were a little impulsive. I am here to apologize on their behalf. I hope you can forgive them."
Engineer Zheng stretched out his hand to push away the cigarette and said with a cold face: "Chief Duan, I, Old Zheng, was a college graduate before liberation and a fifth-level engineer. These uneducated gangsters dared to scold me and hit me.
I will definitely report this matter to the Dalian factory.
Don't get too close to me. "
"It is your right to report to your superiors." Duan Chang Xing's expression remained unchanged, he took back the cigarette and put it back into the cigarette case, and then asked: "Now that we have entered the winter, the problem that the furnace cannot burn completely has endangered driving safety and affected the safety of driving. railway transportation.
I also hope that you can put the overall situation first and find a way to solve this problem. "
If it can be solved, how about I not only apply for a high bonus for you, but also personally apologize to you? "
"Captain Duan, you don't have to." Seeing this, the train drivers all said in unison.
"Shut up, you don't want to have an accident suddenly while driving!"
"."
The train drivers could only grit their teeth, clenched their fists, and glared at Engineer Zheng.
Li Aiguo pulled Cao Wenzhi to prevent him from being impulsive, and looked at Duan Chang Xing.
This old joke really puts work first.
It's just a pity that people like Engineer Zheng will never give in.
Li Aiguo once heard the old Dong talk about Engineer Zheng.
Engineer Zheng comes from a very good family.
Before liberation, his family ran a pawnshop, with seven or eight shops on Qianmen Street.
A distant uncle of Engineer Zheng was a faculty member of Tangshan Railway College, and it was through this relationship that he entered the Railway College.
After graduation, Engineer Zheng wanted to inherit his ancestral business and return to the capital to take over as the pawnshop manager.
At that time, the situation suddenly changed, and all his pawnshops were closed down.
I had no choice but to stay at Tangshan Railway College.
Later he joined the Dalian factory as a special technician.
He joined the Dalian factory just because of the situation and had no intention of doing research, so he hung out in the factory all day long, so he was sent as a technical representative.
In Engineer Zheng's opinion, it was because of these poor people that he lost the opportunity to become a pawnshop owner.
It's almost impossible to get his help now.
really.
Even though Duan Chang Xing expressed his utmost sincerity, Engineer Zheng's face remained cold: "Duan Chang Xing, there is no way to solve this problem. In addition, I will immediately report your besieging the technical representative to the Dalian factory!"
After saying that, he strode away with his hands behind his back and his head raised.
"I'm crazy"
At this time, someone threw out a wooden stick and hit Engineer Zheng in the back.
"Okay, okay, you all wait!" Engineer Zheng ran away in panic.
There was laughter in the maintenance workshop.
Xing Duanchang's brows furrowed tightly.
Lao Zhang, director of the maintenance workshop, came up with an idea: "Captain Duan, our locomotive depot is not the only one using forward locomotives. You can contact the main depot and the Harbin locomotive depot. They should have a solution."
"Yes, yes. I'll call right away." Duan Chang Xing came to his senses and rushed into the director's office of the maintenance workshop.
After a while, he came out again, but his face was a little ugly.
"The technical representatives of the two locomotive depots have indeed warned them long ago that insufficient combustion in the furnace may occur when driving in winter.
But there is no effective solution.
The best way is to have a technical representative remodel the inner wall of the furnace.
However, this method cannot completely avoid insufficient combustion in the furnace.
In addition, the stoker must spread the coal as evenly as possible when lighting the fire. "
"One of these two methods is not feasible and the other is uncontrollable. Neither of them is a good method." Director Zhang sighed.
At this time, Li Aiguo also understood the real cause of the accident, which was that the furnace was cold in winter and the temperature was too low, resulting in insufficient combustion of the coal.
Among the EMU assembly body technologies provided by the system, there is a branch technology called fuel automatic ignition technology.
Using this technology, a fuel injection device can be added outside the furnace.
When the coal in the furnace is not fully burned, you can turn on the fuel injection equipment and use diesel to increase the temperature in the furnace to avoid insufficient coal combustion.
It's just that this technology is relatively complex and is considered high-tech in this day and age.
To successfully manufacture it, it requires the cooperation of a large number of technical personnel and a large amount of testing materials.
Just when Duan Chang Xing and Director Zhang were frowning, a voice suddenly came from their ears.
"Captain Duan, Lao Zhang, if we add diesel to the coal while burning it, wouldn't the coal burn evenly?"
"To add fuel to the fire, it's just waiting to explode! It's just nonsense."
"Who doesn't know any common sense?"
Both of them were stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to refute.
When he turned around and saw that it was Li Aiguo, Duan Chang Xing's expression immediately softened.
"Lao Zhang, what do patriotic comrades think of you?"
“It’s really hard to say this.”
Director Zhang also hesitated, not as decisive as before.
See, that's the power of fame.
The reason why everyone believes in authority is because they have made contributions and created things that ordinary people cannot.
Of course, the kind of fake authority on TV where one person has a dozen names doesn't count.
"Come on, come on, patriotic comrade, please tell me in detail about adding diesel."
Director Zhang took Li Aiguo's arm and entered the office.
Duan Chang Xing also followed closely behind.
The train drivers were about to get off work, and now they also poured into the office.
Cao Wen pointed directly at Li Aiguo who was sitting on the sofa and said, "Did you see it? This is my apprentice."
The train drivers laughed and said, "Old Cao, we know you have a good apprentice, but the matter of adding diesel does not sound reliable."
"Don't worry, my apprentice will handle the matter and there will be no problem. You didn't look at the sandbags or the dump train, but it was all my apprentice's fault."
Cao Wenzhi raised his head proudly.
Having such a good apprentice was more satisfying than his own praise.
Especially when he saw Zhang Dache running the international route in the crowd, he winked even more.
The meaning is very simple: Although you, Lao Zhang, are better at driving than me, your apprentice cannot compare to my apprentice!
Zhang Dache pinched his brows depressedly.
This old Cao, despite his age, looks like a child.
Inside the office.
Li Aiguo picked up the pen and painted the drawings that had been printed in his mind bit by bit.
Due to the complexity of the automatic fuel ignition equipment, it took half an hour to draw only a small part.
But it was this small part that attracted Director Zhang and the technicians and masters in the workshop to marvel.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
The design on the drawing is exquisite, especially the protective device, which is enough to prevent diesel explosion from deflagration.
They are looking forward to the drawings below more and more.
At this moment, Li Aiguo stood up and stretched.
Director Zhang asked eagerly: "Driver Li, is the rear part not designed yet?"
"That's not true, I'm just a little hungry." Li Aiguo rubbed his growling stomach.
"I'll get you some food." A driver next to him raised his hand and said.
Duan Chang Xing stopped him: "Looking at today's situation, Driver Li will probably have to stay up all night to draw the drawings. You go and inform the fat man in the kitchen and ask him to deliver some good food on the hour."
"Okay!" The driver ran away quickly.
Since you want to open a small stove, you definitely can’t eat alone.
Everyone has a share, and he can also take advantage of it.
Stay up all night? Li Aiguo was a little confused.
He originally planned to go back and play Tie Tie with Miss Chen.
Is this considered forced business?
Forget it, forget it, get the automatic fuel ignition equipment out as soon as possible so that drivers can drive safer.
The other side.
Engineer Zheng returned to his residence and did not report what happened today to the Dalian factory.
He knew very well that the leaders of the Dalian factory would severely criticize him once they knew that he had concealed the fact that burnt tortoises might be burned in the furnace.
"These gangsters, even without my warning, would they have troubled themselves and not pay attention?"
Engineer Zheng sat on the sofa and muttered angrily.
A woman wearing a satin cheongsam came in, sat down next to him, rubbed her hands lightly, put her small jade hands on his shoulders, and said softly: "Oh, who is so bold to mess with us?" Engineer Zheng is angry!"
This woman is Engineer Zheng’s concubine.
To be precise, it should be the former concubine.
Engineer Zheng comes from a wealthy family and has a lot of money.
Before liberation, Engineer Zheng had a wife and three concubines, and lived a good life surrounded by women.
pity.
In 1950, the higher authorities promulgated a new marriage law.
This brand-new law was like a thunderbolt, launching a sweeping attack on polygamy that had lasted for thousands of years.
Engineer Zheng had already taken a job in the Dalian factory at that time, so he naturally wanted to support the decision above and "actively" dismissed all the concubines.
But he couldn't bear to part with this concubine named Little Moon Moth.
Little Moon Moth was born in a pear garden. She looks like a flower and jade, has a slender figure and a waist as thin as a wasp's waist. The most important thing is her pair of three-inch golden lotus flowers. Wave goes”.
It really fascinated Engineer Zheng.
Nowadays, it is no longer allowed to bind the little feet, and you will never find such a good baby again.
As a fifth-level engineer, Engineer Zheng can earn a monthly salary of 178 yuan.
At that time, the superiors actually paid special attention to talents.
The monthly salary of a first-level engineer is similar to that of a provincial official.
Even the lowest level nine engineer can get a monthly salary of 102 yuan, which is comparable to that of a deputy director.
In the years when conditions were difficult and supplies were scarce, providing such generous treatment to these people was in the hope that they could contribute to the development of the new world.
However, Engineer Zheng took the generous treatment from above as a matter of course and used it to "provide a mistress".
Although the two went through divorce procedures, Little Moon Moth still followed him.
This time Engineer Zheng came to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot in Beijing as a technical representative, and specially brought Little Moon Moth to take care of his life.
Seeing the charming little moon moth, Engineer Zheng's anger suddenly disappeared.
He hugged Little Moon Moth's slender waist and laid her down on the sofa, hanging her two straight thighs on his own legs, taking off the pair of embroidered shoes, holding the pair of three-inch golden lotuses tightly with both hands, and his mood suddenly changed. Get better.
"It's as curved as the crescent moon in the sky, and as red as a lotus with petals. It's just three inches in the palm of your hand. It's a good thing. It's a pity that we don't allow bound feet now."
While crossing his feet, Engineer Zheng lamented: "This is a good thing, why should it be banned? Sure enough, these idiots have no culture at all. Even though they are in power, they don't know how to enjoy it at all."
Little Moon Moth blushed with enjoyment and lay shyly in Engineer Zheng's arms, saying coquettishly: "Official, don't say this. Walls have ears. If outsiders hear it, you will get into trouble."
"What are you afraid of? I'm a senior technician. The train can't move if it leaves me. Those idiots don't dare to touch me." Engineer Zheng snorted coldly and said, "I am a level five engineer. Do you know what level it is?" ?”
"The slave family doesn't understand this. They only know that the official is a man of great ability. The slave family only needs to serve the official well."
Little Moon Moth said while taking off her clothes.
"It's your turn to take care of me now!"
Engineer Zheng looked at the shy little Yue Moth, and felt an inexplicable evil fire in his heart.
"you come up?"
Little Moon Moth saw Engineer Zheng sitting there without moving, so he moved inside.
Engineer Zheng picked up the pair of three-inch golden lotuses, sniffed them twice, and rushed towards them.
The window paper outside the house was beating, and there was a lot of excitement on the sofa.
Two minutes later.
"Officer, that's amazing! Amazing! Amazing!" Little Moon Moth curled her lips secretly, but pretended to be in admiration.
"Today I was so angry with those workers, otherwise I could have persisted a little longer."
Engineer Zheng sat up straight, smoked a cigarette and said, "I'll take a week off tomorrow to let them know how important I am."
"Please don't ask for leave!" Little Moon Moth's expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong? Don't you want me to be at home?" Engineer Zheng's face darkened.
"Oh, sir, I wish I could grow up with you." Little Moon Moth rolled her eyes and said, "It's just that asking for leave will have a bad impact on you. People from the maintenance department will come to our house to look for you. When they see me, you You’ll get into big trouble too.”
"Too."
Engineer Zheng Gong stroked his goatee and said: "Then I will sit in the office and wait for the workers in the locomotive depot to come and beg me. Then I will take the opportunity to humiliate them and let them know what it means to respect cultural people. .”
"Yes, yes! Officer, you must teach them a lesson." Little Moon Moth breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day.
"My lord, please go slowly. I'm thinking at home!"
Little Moon Moth sent Engineer Zheng out the door, waved at his back, and waited until no one could be seen, then turned and walked back into the house.
After a while.
A little green-skinned man came out from next door and gently opened the door.
"Tsk, tsk, I heard you clearly yesterday, you were humming so excitedly."
"He is just the head of a pewter spear. He is not as powerful as you."
Subsequently.
There was a trivial sound inside.
Of course Engineer Zheng didn't know this.
He rode his bicycle into the office and told the assistant that he was a little tired today and would not be doing any work.
The assistant was the secretary sent by the Qianmen Locomotive Depot to help him.
“But what if the workshop needs technical support?”
"Aren't they very capable? They dare to attack engineers, let them find a solution on their own!" Engineer Zheng snorted coldly.
The assistant had no choice but to close the office door.
Inside the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.
Because of the experience of developing self-unloading technology last time, a Caotaizi project team was quickly established.
This time, Li Aiguo serves as the project commander-in-chief, Director Zhang of the maintenance workshop serves as the deputy commander-in-chief, and seven or eight senior technical masters serve as researchers.
In the office, Li Aiguo had been busy all night, and he had only completed less than half of the drawings.
Of course, he is not alone.
Director Zhang and several technical masters also stayed with him all night.
Li Aiguo raised his wrist to look at the time. It was almost time to drive, so he stood up to leave.
But he was stopped by Director Zhang.
"Driver Li, when Chief Duan left last night, he already told you that your task in the past few days is to get the drawings out. He has sent a substitute driver to help you drive."
Li Aiguo called him a good guy in his heart.
As a train driver, he could not drive, but instead started making inventions. It seemed that he was not doing his job properly.
But no matter what kind of job it is, it is a contribution to the country.
Li Aiguo saw that all the masters had red and swollen eyes and said with a smile: "Let the masters go back and rest for half a day. We will continue in the afternoon."
The masters immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Last night they accompanied Li Aiguo to draw drawings.
Li Aiguo drew a large sample of the drawing, and his team of masters studied the design on the drawing to see if there were any flaws, and marked various dimensions at the same time.
As a result, even though the work was easier, the five of them almost couldn't keep up with Li Aiguo's speed.
In the end, it was Director Zhang who got on the horse in person, and it was almost a tie among the few.
The key is that this guy's durability is so good that he worked all night without even going to the toilet.
With Director Zhang's consent, the old masters all crossed their legs and ran outside.
Li Aiguo is also a human being, not a machine. He was about to go home and rest for a while. As soon as he went out, he saw Zhou Ke standing outside.
Zhou Kesheng said helplessly: "Brother Patriot, the section chief said, I am now your orderly."
I don’t know what Li Aiguo is up to, but Duan Chang Xing actually ordered someone from the Locomotive Department Police Station to ensure that Li Aiguo is dedicated to his work.
Zhou Ke and Li Aiguo are brothers. They happened to have no cases at the moment, so they were sent here.
"Zhou Ke, do you want to make meritorious service?"
"Can you still perform meritorious service as an orderly?"
"I don't know if the thing we created this time really works, maybe the entire project team will be able to make a contribution."
Li Aiguo did not boast.
Incomplete combustion of coal during winter operation of steam engines is not an isolated case.
There are thousands of steam trains across the country. As long as this problem is solved, they will at least receive commendation from the ministry.
"Brother Patriot, please, please get in the car."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ke opened the door of the jeep.
Xu Damao covered his face and returned to the courtyard from outside. He walked to the door and heard the sound of the jeep. He was curious, which leader was coming to inspect the courtyard?
When he saw Li Aiguo get off the jeep, he was shocked: "Brother Patriot, okay, we have a special car now, and this scene is comparable to that of our factory director."
"It's Brother Damao." Li Aiguo said hello and was about to enter the courtyard when he suddenly stopped.
He looked Xu Damao up and down: "Who beat you?"
At this time, Xu Damao's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his mouth was bleeding, and his hair was messy, as if he had been pushed into a ditch and ravaged for half an hour.
"No, no one! I went to the countryside to play a movie and accidentally fell into a ditch."
"Yeah?"
Li Aiguo didn't care and asked Zhou Ke to go back first and pick him up at noon.
He yawned and entered the room, fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Liu Lan is a temporary worker in the canteen of the steel rolling mill. It is not too late to go to the canteen to work at ten in the morning. She is currently busy in the house.
Seeing Xu Damao coming in with his face covered, she frowned: "Da Mao, did you go to the countryside to seduce your little wife and was caught by a man?"
"Nonsense, can I, Damao, be caught?"
"Snapped!"
Xu Damao received a slap.
He covered his face, filled with anger.
Today, when Xu Damao walked to the road, he was suddenly pulled into the woods by two green men to clean him up.
Don't ask, you will know it is Yi Zhonghai's handiwork.
Only Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family in the entire compound could do such insidious things.
Xu Damao said in a cold voice while applying red potion: "Yi Zhonghai, this matter is not over yet!"
