Chapter 28 Full marks
The first step in starting a steam locomotive: filling the coal.
The stoker received a signal from Li Aiguo.
Pick up the coal shovel, turn 180 degrees, bend down, and shovel a shovel full of coal.
Turn around again and press the furnace switch with your left foot.
The moment the furnace was opened, his left hand was in front and his right hand was behind.
Hold the handle of the shovel tightly, push it forward, flick your wrists, and the coals fly evenly into the furnace like a goddess scattering flowers.
With a 'tang', the flames jumped out.
The stoker gently raised his feet and the furnace door closed instantly.
The movements and postures are free and elegant, which cannot be achieved in more than ten years.
Before Li Aiguo could say anything with emotion, he suddenly noticed that the light in the cab seemed to be dimmed a lot.
The originally clear instrument became hazy.
Tiffling his nose, he smelled the pungent smell of soot.
Looking back, I saw thick smoke billowing out of the furnace as the stoker kept filling coal.
The driver's building soon filled with smoke, just like Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace.
Li Aiguo looked out of the left window, but it was blurry and he couldn't see anything clearly.
The middle-aged driver has long been accustomed to this, smoking a cigarette in the thick smoke.
The two examiners also behaved as they should.
Okay.
The working environment of train drivers is so bad.
Once it comes, make peace with it.
Li Aiguo stood up and blew the whistle. After sitting firmly, he grabbed the ring handle on the upper left side. The bottom of the train made an exhaust sound of whirring, whirring, whirring.
In an instant, thick white smoke rose from both sides of the train.
Under the shroud of smoke, the huge train is like a mount in the world of immortality.
It just can't fly.
As the train moved, the smoke in the driver's building dispersed a lot, and the vision gradually became clearer.
Li Aiguo took a deep breath, pushed the handle forward, loosened the small brake, and pulled the valve.
Feeling the push from the steel pipe chair behind him, Li Aiguo was highly concentrated. Get up and look ahead from time to time.
Especially when passing through the wild road entrance, I stood up in advance.
Seeing Li Aiguo's demeanor, the middle-aged driver nodded with satisfaction: "You are a man who cherishes his life."
"There is nothing we can do. We haven't seen the prosperity of the country and the fall of imperialism, so naturally we have to save a small life."
Li Aiguo said jokingly while skillfully operating the gate.
“.”
The middle-aged driver was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the two examiners behind him: “Xiao Wang, is a bad mouth a point deduction?”
“ Master Zhang, there is no such item in the project list, please be patient." The young examiner's mouth twitched to suppress his laughter.
The middle-aged driver smiled bitterly and shook his head. This young man named Li Aiguo had never made any mistakes since he got on the bus.
The driving level he showed was even higher than that of an experienced driver like him who had been on the Korean battlefield.
Every operation is so decisive and just right.
Only in the practical examination, there is no precedent for achieving perfect scores.
However, there is no need to worry. You can always find opportunities to deduct points when you stop and get off the car.
Li Aiguo's heart was not as relaxed as it seemed.
Although he has superb driving skills in his mind with the help of the system.
But it is not a simple matter to realize the idea in your mind with your hands.
That's what it's called.
Brain: "I know it!"
Hand: "No, you can't."
Tall buildings rise from the ground,
If you want to be A real train driver still needs to improve in actual operations.
More than ten kilometers traveled, almost in the blink of an eye. After passing through the gate and turning the corner, the train quickly headed towards the starting point.
Hearing the roar in the distance, all the candidates on the scene looked up in unison.
The middle-aged driver straightened up, joined the two examiners, and turned his attention to Li Aiguo.
Now comes the most critical step - parking.
On the way, they didn't find any place where they could deduct points.
Now we can only hope for the most difficult part. Li Aiguo smiled faintly, stood up and looked ahead, instantly calculating the braking distance in his mind.
The hands that had been waiting for a long time decisively grasped the two brake handles.
The harsh sound of wheels rubbing against the rails came from the bottom of the train, and the speed of the train gradually slowed down.
Slower and slower, slower and slower.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the first row of wheels.
The jet black wheels gradually approach the white lime line.
A little, a little.
Stop.
Wow!
The crowd was like boiling water.
The front wheel of the train stopped steadily on the white lime line.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Liu Erfeng rubbed his eyes.
Liu Chunhua frowned: "This kid's luck is really good."
The happiest person was Zhang Dahua.
She rushed to the locomotive and shouted to Li Aiguo: "You have to treat me this time."
Li Aiguo:
Inside the locomotive.
The two examiners looked at each other.
Is the first full score in the practical examination of the general construction section about to appear?
The middle-aged driver smiled strangely and winked at them, indicating not to worry.
Tightening his collar and standing up, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Li Aiguo.
“Come on, little comrade, behave well and get a straight one.”
Li Aiguo waved his hand and refused: “I’m sorry, I am a train driver. According to the driver’s code, I drive. "You can't smoke."
"."
The middle-aged driver was silent for a moment: "That's not what you said just now."
"I didn't pass the test just now." , He is not an official train driver, so he does not need to hold himself to the standards of a train driver." Li Aiguo said confidently.
Yes, this guy is a slippery boy, and he passed another item with points deducted.
Don’t worry, there is still a chance.
The middle-aged driver took a deep breath, calmed down, and said amiably: "Comrade, congratulations on passing the practical test. You can get off the car now."
"Thank you!"
The moment Li Aiguo opened the door, the middle-aged driver and the two examiners stared at him with wide eyes.
As soon as he jumped out of the car, he picked up the pen and deducted ten points from him.
However, Li Aiguo did not jump out of the car.
Instead, he grabbed the two handles on the driver's roof and swung down like a monkey.
At the moment of landing, facing the locomotive.
Middle-aged driver: .
Two examiners: .
Li Aiguo smiled at them and said: "Sorry, my father taught me that train drivers should not turn their backs to the locomotive when getting off the train. Do you think it is appropriate for me to do this? ?”
“Appropriate.”
The middle-aged driver suddenly laughed: “I didn’t expect that the first perfect score in practical operation in our section was born in my hands.”
"Zhang Shan, Zhang Shan, you're good at it. As long as your skills are high, it doesn't matter if you get full marks!"
Zhang Shan Li Aiguo tasted the name, his heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head and looked at That middle-aged driver.
“Are you Zhang Dache, who was sent to the Korean battlefield by our general engineering section?”
Li Aiguo once heard his father talk about it.
When the war broke out, in order to quickly transport materials, the main section dispatched a large number of outstanding train drivers from various sections to North Korea.
Li Aiguo’s father bit off his finger and wrote the application, but because Li Aiguo was still young and needed companionship, the application was rejected by the authorities.
A total of twenty train drivers were selected,
only five came back in the end.
Zhang Shan is the only one who is fully alive.
And.
He came back with a military medal.
Zhang Shan has since become a legend in the general section.
Hearing this, Zhang Shan was silent for a moment, looked at Li Aiguo and said: "What Zhang Dache? The real Zhang Dache has died on the battlefield with those old guys. My name is Zhang Shan, I'm just a An ordinary train driver.”
His face, covered with vicissitudes of life, looked particularly solemn and desolate under the golden sunset.
