Chapter 232 Car Sliding
“What? Go to the equipment workshop and work as a connector?”
When Liu Erfeng received the notice from the Labor and Resources Department, he was so shocked that his facial muscles were deformed.
Looking at the black and white words on the transfer order, a vibrato escaped his throat involuntarily.
“Why, why?”
Deputy Chief of the Labor and Management Section Zhang Mingrui saw him like this.
Thought he was too excited.
Patted him on the shoulder and said: "Erfeng, you are in luck. I heard that the driver in charge of the rescue mission took the initiative to plead for you.
Duan Lili decided to give I will transfer you to the equipment workshop as a link member if you have a chance to make a new start.
Don’t let down the driver’s kindness.”
Liu Erfeng's head was buzzing at this moment.
If you don’t become an archivist, you won’t have access to those drawings, let alone take them out.
Liu Erfeng's plan that he had worked hard to plan for more than a month came to nothing.
The beauties in cool clothes on the beach, the foreign wine in the bar, and the exciting movies were all like a gust of wind blowing past him. He stretched out his hand to grab it, but couldn't catch it.
If possible, he would like to kill Li Aiguo.
But now in front of Zhang Mingrui, he had to show his gratitude.
It’s so frustrating.
“Thank you very much, Comrade Li Aiguo!”
“This is the correct attitude. It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake. As long as you know your mistake, you should correct it. You are still a good comrade.”
Zhang Mingrui raised his wrist to look at the time, stood up and said: "There is a shortage of manpower in the recent section. You should report to the equipment workshop now."
Liu Erfeng sent Zhang Mingrui away.
I slumped down on the chair, the knots on my brows looking like balls on my butt.
“It’s all because of that damn Li Aiguo’s troublesomeness!”
“What should we do now? Do we just give up like this?”
“No, no, Linker It’s not a job for humans. I still have to find a way as soon as possible and sneak into the archives.”
“When I get the blueprints and can leave here, I will get a gun from the pigeon market and give it to you secretly. Let’s take a shot.”
“Li Aiguo, wait for me!”
Liu Erfeng made up his mind and came to the equipment workshop with the transfer order.
Although the maintenance department did not publish the list of the mistakes Liu Erfeng made.
But there are no secrets in the locomotive depot.
The workshop director and deputy director of the equipment workshop both knew what Liu Erfeng had done.
In the locomotive depot, all mistakes can be forgiven.
Only those sloppy dispatchers cannot be forgiven.
Over the years, countless accidents have occurred due to scheduling errors.
Some have also caused terrible accidents and caused huge casualties.
So, after receiving the transfer order, the two leaders of the workshop did not have a good look towards Liu Erfeng.
"Liu Erfeng, have you ever been a connector before?"
"No, but I was trained as a connector in a technical secondary school." Liu Erfeng hurriedly patted his chest and assured: "I I guarantee that I can do it.”
Liu Erfeng was forced into a corner at this time.
If he doesn't agree to be a linker, he will probably be fired from Duanwai.
When introduced, there was no hope of entering the archives.
The director of the equipment workshop reminded Liu Erfeng: "Comrade Liu Erfeng, although the technical level of the connector is not high, it is very important. You must be careful in your work."
"Director, please Don't worry, I also graduated from a formal technical secondary school. Is it still difficult to do such chores?" Liu Erfeng disagreed.
The workshop director nodded: "Okay, since you know what to do, go to the station to be on duty now."
The linker is mainly responsible for the coupling and separation of railway vehicles on weekdays. And vehicle replacement, repair and other work.
The specific work content includes picking up and delivering the vehicle, removing the air duct of the vehicle, lifting the hook, and preventing it from slipping.
Trains are heavy vehicles. In order to ensure sturdiness, the equipment on the trains are relatively heavy.
Especially the couplers, each weighing dozens of kilograms, which caused huge troubles to the coupler's work.
Passenger trains are better. In order to ensure the comfort of passengers, the train driver will be careful every time when connecting.
The driver of a freight train has a rougher behavior, and the freight train is heavier and the stopping distance is difficult to control, so the link operator has to put in more than half of his effort.
It can be said that freight train connector is one of the most difficult, tiring and dangerous jobs in the entire railway system.
Liu Erfeng wanted to get close to the archives.
I could only grit my teeth and received the tools, and came to the station to find the fifth shunting team on duty.
The connector is under the management of the shunting team and needs to obey the orders of the shunting chief.
Hu Dakai, the shunting commander of the fifth shunting team, looked Liu Erfeng up and down.
"You are as thin as a chicken, how can you do this job? This is a job for men!"
Liu Erfeng was angry at the workshop director because he was angry .
Now I was harshly lectured by a big boss, and I was not convinced at the time.
Just kidding, he also graduated from a regular railway technical secondary school. How could he bear to be lectured by such an uneducated person? !
“Why can’t I do it?” Liu Erfeng’s eyes widened.
"Okay, I'll teach you first, and you'll be on duty later."
Hu Dakai, the shunting commander, also had good intentions. He originally wanted Liu Erfeng to retreat when he faced difficulties, but who would have thought that this kid doesn't know the heart of a good person? You're welcome.
After the simple teaching, Hu Dakai also conducted an assessment on Liu Erfeng.
Liu Erfeng connected the carriages together in a few clicks, picked up the pliers and knocked on the iron bar, and said proudly: "Team leader, how are you? Am I qualified?"
"There is no technical problem, but the most important thing for our connectors is to be careful. Whether it is connecting pipelines or placing iron shoes, everything needs to be done in one step."
Liu Erfeng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and popped out a Root, inserted it into his mouth, and said casually: "I know, I am a regular technical secondary school graduate, and I can't do the work of primary school students like you? It's simply ridiculous!"
"You"
< br>Hu Dakai has never seen such unscrupulous workers.
Just as he was about to teach him a lesson, the fifth dispatching team received a notice from the dispatching room.
【No. 261823 freight train entered Lane 4 of the locomotive depot and stopped. The train was composed of 21 cars, with a total length of 23.2 and a total weight of 1,294 tons.
According to the plan, the train will have an additional carriage in the locomotive depot, between the 11th and 12th carriages at the rear. 】
After receiving the dispatching task, the dispatcher Hu Dakai did not care about arguing with Liu Erfeng and hurriedly led him to the 4th lane of the station.
Shunting requires the cooperation of the train driver.
Hu Dakai walked to the locomotive, stepped on the ladder, and reached out to pat the front of the locomotive.
A bearded train driver poked his head out, his eyes bloodshot: "It's Old Hu, it's your turn to be on duty today."
"Yes, wait. When I know how to dispatch, I have to ask my brother to cooperate." Hu Dakai took out a few cigarettes and passed them through the half-open car glass.
When scheduling operations, the biggest fear is that the driver will not pay attention.
The train is too powerful, runs too far, and has no way to connect with the carriages behind it.
The force is too small and the distance is too short, it is easy to hurt the linker.
"Easy to say, easy to say, I'll pull the valve later, just take it easy." The bearded driver took the cigarette and turned to look outside.
When he saw Liu Erfeng, he was surprised and said: "What's the matter? You have a new member in your shunting team?"
"Yes, this guy is a good guy. He made a mistake in the dispatching room and was assigned to me." "
"Couldn't he be the dispatcher who sent out the train without coal?"
"That's him"
"Damn it. This kid can't be spared!"
Hu Dakai saw the bearded driver grabbing the iron rod and rushing off the locomotive, so he quickly stopped him.
"Lao Bi, you must not do it. He has already been criticized, and we don't want to do it in private."
"For a dispatcher like this, when the labor and management see each one, they will beat him to death! ”
The bearded driver who was so pleasant just now will be completely annoyed now, and the beard under his lips will explode like a hedgehog.
“Don’t he know that random scheduling can really kill people?”
No wonder the bearded driver is so angry.
Trains can only run on rails, and the train driver is blind and deaf when he is driving. The dispatcher is their ears and eyes.
If the dispatcher has a problem, then sooner or later the train will have an accident.
Hu Dakai could understand the mood of the bearded driver, and sighed and said: "Old Bi, give me some face, forget it for now, we have to get on the carriage quickly!"
"That's you. If it were anyone else, I would have to go down and give this guy a slap in the face today so that he can remember it for a long time!"
"Thank you, brother. I'll pay you in a few days. I'll treat you to a drink." ."
After Hu Dakai calmed down the bearded driver.
He began to stand on the train floor and direct Liu Erfeng to connect the carriages.
He was not worried that the bearded driver would make it bad.
Because at work, no matter how angry two people are, they will not get in the way of each other.
This is the professional ethics of locomotive depot employees.
"What the hell, I didn't hurt anyone. Do you need to glare at me? These train drivers are all rough! They have no culture at all."
Liu Erfeng also heard the conversation between the two people below.
Spitting disapprovingly, he led the guy to the back of the 11th carriage.
Because there are too many carriages mounted on the train, and the rails are curved, it is impossible to see what is behind it from the front.
Communication between the dispatcher and the linker can only be done through roaring.
After shouting, I learned that Liu Erfeng was in place.
The dispatcher Hu Dakai pedaled on the locomotive, half suspended in the air, and shouted towards the intercom:
"Liu Erfeng, put down your iron shoes and unscrew the gate."
"I got it."
Liu Erfeng put down his iron shoes under the 11th car, then picked up the tools and started to twist the gate.
Because the gate at the rear of the carriage has been twisted and deformed, it is really difficult to twist it.
Liu Erfeng spent a lot of effort to unscrew the front gate.
“Damn it, this shitty job really isn’t done by humans, we still have to find a way to transfer him away as soon as possible!”
Liu Erfeng looked at his palm that was bruised and bruised by the hammer. He sighed and cursed.
The voice of the shunting commander came from a distance. The high-pitched voice was slightly distorted by the wind: "Why haven't you unscrewed it yet?"
"It will be ready soon. Why are you so urgent?" What's the rush!"
Liu Erfeng shouted in front of him at the top of his lungs.
Picked up the thing, endured the pain in his hands, and prepared to twist the gate at the rear end.
At this moment, he felt some tremors under his feet. Looking down, he saw a slight tremor from the rails.
Liu Erfeng subconsciously turned his head to look.
This didn't matter, the whole person was so frightened that his seven souls were frightened out of his six souls, and he stood there blankly.
I saw that more than ten carriages behind me had slipped away.
“Oops, I forgot to put the iron shoes under the platform of carriage 12!”
If we chase, maybe because the distance of the carriage is shorter and the speed is slower, we may be able to catch up. .
But at this time Liu Erfeng was already panicking, and his heart was beating up and down like a panicked rabbit.
He picked up his iron shoes and rushed over. His feet gave way and he fell to the ground.
The dozen or so carriages are slipping back faster and faster, and the distance is getting farther and farther.
Liu Feng then realized the seriousness of the problem.
He stood up and wanted to sound the alarm, but he couldn't hold back the sound in his throat.
“This guy looks pretty smart, why is he taking such a long time to get things done.”
The dispatcher at the front had no idea what was going on behind him and wanted to continue urging.
At this time, a panicked voice came from the distance: "The dispatcher has slipped away! The train has slipped away! The train has slipped away!"
"What!"
The dispatcher asked subconsciously before reacting.
He felt his scalp was numb, so he quickly jumped off the train and climbed onto the cement block next to him.
When I saw more than a dozen carriages running towards the No. 2 main line like an out-of-control steel dragon, this man who had worked in the locomotive depot for decades actually had some legs. He was weak, his face turned pale with fear, his tongue was blocked, and his throat was suffocated.
For a time, the whole world seemed to freeze, darkening little by little, and finally fell into darkness.
Lao Bi, the driver of freight train 261823, was the first to react.
"Lao Hu, hurry up, call the dispatch room, call the section immediately." Lao Bi slapped the car window and shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Ah, right, right”
Dispatcher Hu Dakai took a deep breath, bit his lip, and tried his best to calm down.
He jumped down from the concrete pier without taking a good posture, staggered and ran towards the control room.
When I ran to the door of the dispatch room, I lost one of my shoes at some point.
"Bang!"
Broken open the door of the dispatch room.
Panting and shouting:
"Emergency, emergency, when the 261823 freight train was installing additional carriages, an accident occurred. More than ten carriages slipped away. Now they have slipped away. The carriage of the car is heading towards Main Line 2. "
Boom!
These words were like a thunder that exploded inside the dispatch room.
The entire locomotive depot was shaken by the shock.
The other side.
Li Aiguo also rode his bicycle to the locomotive depot early in the morning.
I originally wanted to receive yesterday's reward plus Yan Jiecheng's work clothes early, but who would have thought that the comrades in the Materials Department have not gone to work yet.
You can only wait until after work in the afternoon to collect it.
The workshop director already knew about the rescue train yesterday.
At the morning meeting, the workshop director praised Li Aiguo for his good work and called on all crew members, drivers and police officers to learn from Comrade Li Aiguo.
Learn his spirit of not being afraid of hardships and having the courage to risk his life to complete tasks.
The words of the workshop director caused a burst of warm applause.
Among them, Zhang Yazhi drummed the most energetically, even her little hands turned red.
After the morning meeting.
Li Aiguo followed Cao Wenzhi and others to the station as usual, checked the locomotive, and prepared to start a new day of busy work.
Suddenly.
A rapid voice sounded from the loudspeakers scattered throughout the locomotive depot.
“Emergency notice, emergency notice! A car slipping accident occurred inside the locomotive depot. More than ten carriages slipped along Route 4 towards Main Line 2. Please start from Route 4 The trains are temporarily suspended. The specific opening time is pending for follow-up notification.”
This notice completely broke the calm in the locomotive depot, and everyone stood still.
“Slip a car.”
Li Aiguo had only heard his father talk about slipping a car before.
If the car is rolling on flat ground, there is still a possibility of saving it because the speed of the rolling car is not high.
If he were to drive down a slope...
His heart was in his throat.
"Pa!"
Cao Wenzhi slapped his hands suddenly, his face changed drastically: "Exit from No. 4 Road of our locomotive depot, and then walk forward along No. 2 Main Line, it's a full For more than a hundred miles, everything is downhill, and now we are in big trouble."
Why is Cao Wenzhi so clear?
Because after train 131 departs from Beijing, it is directly on the No. 2 main line.
"Pa-ta"
Old Zheng, who was smoking a dry pipe, let go of his hand and the pipe pot fell to the ground.
"We are in big trouble. That bear ball thing is picking up speed, just like a tank. If a train passes along the line, it will definitely crash and kill people."
Tank. Lao Zheng also underestimated the slipping train.
If the car continues to go downhill, the speed of the car can reach two to three hundred kilometers per hour.
Imagine what it would be like to have more than a dozen carriages weighing hundreds of tons crash into each other at 200 to 300 kilometers per hour.
Even a big mountain has to tremble three times.
