Mr. Li was about to take over the large operation table, but at this time a firm and powerful voice came over: "Brother Aiguo, there shouldn't be any trouble on this trip."

Turning around, I saw Yan explaining, waving away the dust and carbon powder on his body. He was wearing that tattered shirt and jumping and shouting in front of the crowd.

Nima

Three obvious sweat stains immediately appeared on Mr. Li's forehead.

Before he even left the house, he had already been flagged by others.

Old Zheng had experienced the experience of going to **, and was very sensitive to this kind of behavior. At that time, regardless of the presence of the on-site supervisor, he stepped forward and hit Yan's thigh hard.

"You little brat, you're talking nonsense!" Yan explained that he was slapped and now he began to react. "Master, I didn't do it on purpose, I just..."

"From now on, you need to be more honest."

While teaching Yan how to carry coal, Lao Zheng understood what he meant and walked back to the train, waving his arms.

The time for departure had arrived, and Liu Guozhang came over:

“Love your country. Everything depends on you.”

"Master, don't worry!" Li Aiguo nodded vigorously, and then boarded the locomotive with Liu Qing and Lao Zheng. In addition to these three people, the team also included Liu Mingming, an engineer, and a technical team of three researchers from the fifth research group. Together with the three-person crew in the driving car, there were a total of eight people.

Fortunately, the train was originally a coal and water tank, so the technical team could sit on a small stool at the door of the coal and water tank to work. After arranging the team members, Mr. Li signed the operation plan sheet delivered by the dispatcher according to the process and rushed out.

Then he yelled, "Damn it!"

" ** !"

Old Zheng, who was standing nearby, gently pressed the door of the furnace, picked up a hatchet and scattered coal inside. The flames in the furnace of the locomotive rose into a sea of ​​fire.

Li Aiguo stared at the pressure gauge, and when the needle tip swung slightly, he said loudly: "Comrade co-driver, pay attention!"

Liu Qingquan poked his head back from the door and reported, "Everything is normal ahead, comrade driver."

Li Aiguo took a deep breath.

Slowly operating the control lever, the high-temperature steam in the boiler flows into the steam chamber along the pipeline, driving the steam piston to operate, and the black train wheels begin to roll forward along the rails.

Woo woo woo,

Eat, drink, eat, drink, eat, drink,

The train was like a ferocious tiger descending from a mountain, speeding along the inky black railway accompanied by billowing black smoke, and finally merging into the brilliant and dazzling sun.

Everyone watched the train go away before turning around and leaving the battle area.

"You kid, don't try to show off in front of the leader in the future."

After everyone had left, the person in charge of the coal transporting team walked up to Yan Jiecheng, grabbed his arms and sternly admonished him.

Yan Jiecheng rubbed his forehead and muttered in frustration: "Li Aiguo and I live in the same courtyard. Is it wrong for me to care about his behavior?"

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was stubborn and refused to listen, the person in charge did not argue with him, but pointed to the coal pile in the coal bunker and said: "You have to work overtime today to load coal for train No. 21. You are not allowed to leave your post until the coal is loaded."

Yan Jiecheng: “…”

Although the route from Beijing to Kailuan Coal Mine is only more than 200 kilometers, the roads along the way are complex and intricate.

It must first be inserted into the Jingshan District section of the Beijing-Harbin Railway Line, then reach the Qiqiao switch station to switch and enter the Tangshu Railway Line.

It passes through Xuge Town, Jijiatun (station), and then arrives at Tangshandong, ** (place name unknown or omitted), Wali, Guye, Beijiadian, Leizhuang and other places in turn, and finally arrives at Kailuan Coal Mine.

The train started from the capital and sped all the way.

Because the new locomotive has advanced technological elements of the era in terms of technology and facilities, the operating experience is very comfortable and pleasant.

Li Aiguo felt like he was enjoying his vacation.

However, what is annoying is the researchers in the fifth group. They request to stop the train every ten kilometers to ensure that the locomotive can continue to drive after a detailed inspection.

What seems like an unconventional request actually has no reason.

Li Aiguo, who also serves as a researcher, has a deep understanding of the inspection procedures and regulations. When new technologies are applied, even necessary inspections are only carried out at checkpoints every 100 kilometers or at switch stations when the train safety is ensured.

At that time, the environment was mostly wilderness, where not only were there wild animals such as wolves, but there were also areas where armed hunters were active. It seemed unsafe on the surface, but in fact it was fraught with risks.

Faced with the fact that as a driver he needs to ensure the safety of the train, Li Aiguo of course denied this.

When those people heard this, they immediately became extremely excited.

In particular, Zhou Mingzhong, the leader of the maintenance team, ran to Li Jianguo quickly, slapped his hands with his hands, and angrily ordered Li Jianguo to stop operating immediately.

Otherwise, when I return to the research base, I will immediately complain to the General Affairs Department about the lack of coordination with the Mechanical and Electrical Department of the Front Office.

Make sure he will be severely punished.

Mr. Dong felt conflicted when he witnessed this scene.

He is also part of the maintenance team.

If I intervene at this time, Director Zhou will definitely report it to Deputy Section Chief Zhao.

Deputy Zhao is a sinister and cunning character.

At that time, Liu Guangjiang would definitely be blamed for this behavior.

So he could only look at Li Jianguo with an apologetic look.

Li Jianguo is a train operator.

He remains calm and composed in any situation and will not be intimidated by a pick-up person.

He just moved his eyes slightly, grabbed the shovel and rushed forward quickly.

The big coal shovel whirred and swung around in his narrow cockpit.

"Little pretty boy, you dare to drive with us and argue with us, are you living too comfortably? I have been cooking coal in the stove for most of my life, but I have never cooked a human being. Do you want to be the first?"

This is true.

Mr. Wen's face was originally very hideous, and the time had given his cheeks a look of smoke and dust, which made his eyes look like they were inlaid with copper beads and full of blood red, making them even more terrifying under the light.

This shocked Zhou Mingzhong and several of his colleagues on the spot, and they finally agreed to wait until the train passes the switch before inspecting the wheels.

He was at a disadvantage in the first contest.

Zhou Mingzhong could only lead a few scholars to huddle beside the entrance of the small carriage transporting coal and water with frowns on their faces, feeling depressed.

Before leaving, Deputy Director Zhao specifically sought them out for a talk.

Although there were no clear instructions, the four understood that this action was actually nitpicking.

They are technicians from the old generation of train maintenance agencies before liberation.

At that time, there were extremely high requirements for inspection staff, but the salary was extremely low, earning only five taels of silver per month, but they were still hotly sought after.

Why is this so?

It is the freedom to buy and accept bribes.

If they wanted to sell the facilities to the railway administration at that time, they would have to give the workers enough cash as required by regulations.

After the liberation period,

No one dared to send money anymore, so these people had to rely on the north wind for warmth.

Fortunately, due to the lack of professional skilled personnel, I was able to work in the laboratory.

However, as a large number of domestic talents enter the laboratory, this group of elderly people are increasingly marginalized.

Especially when a leader like Liu Guozhang, who has deep roots and decent bloodline, was parachuted into the positions of chief and deputy director, it made them even more vigilant.

Therefore, as soon as they got on the vehicle, they attacked Li Jianguo without hesitation.

We didn't expect Li Aiguo to use such an unreasonable method to deal with us. This made Liu Mingshan, who had already thought of various excuses beforehand, at a loss.

"You say you are right, but others don't appreciate it!" Even if you state your reason, why would the other party listen to you?

But here, Li Aiguo felt free and relaxed, chatting with Liu Qingquan and others while operating the machinery.

"Lao Liu, Lao Dong, is the conversation you two just had under the train true?"

"It has to be true!"

Liu Qingquan put his head away and shouted, "Even if the track in front of me is broken, I won't hesitate at the command of the locomotive depot."

"I'm no worse than you!" Lao Zheng responded loudly.

Liu Mingshan sat in a corner, and after hearing these words, he could no longer hold back and began to sarcastically say, "You are nothing but a grassroots group with poor knowledge, low quality, and no organization. You are just talking big and hypocritical. "But when you are really facing danger, I am afraid that none of you will stand at the front."

Hearing this, the words "you" almost came out of his mouth, and Lao Zheng felt offended, so he picked up a coal shovel and hit the other party's door. However, he was stopped by Li Aiguo. "Lao Zheng, we have to convince others with reason." He turned to the graduate student member and said seriously. "Go ask this college student researcher why the workers in the locomotive depot are willing to go all out for the unit."

"Tell him that the workers in the locomotive depot are like this because of the privileges and protections they can enjoy under this system. For example, their dependents will receive stable worker status and high compensation after their death, the disabled can receive medical expenses and lifelong living security, and their children will also have jobs arranged. These benefits are the reason why they are free of worries and willing to work selflessly."

boom.

The coal shovel was inserted fiercely into the cold iron plate under the car. At this time, Lao Zheng's eyes were determined, his face was blood red, and he showed a posture as if he was ready to fight to the death with any challenger at any time. "This chapter is not over yet, please scroll down to read the richer content later."

Faced with these words and scenes, Liu Mingshan remained silent, but his heart was full of doubts.

"Why would they sacrifice themselves for their children, their wives and the interests of the locomotive depot? Are these workers really that stupid?"

Time flows slowly, in the following time.

The front of the train, whistling in the wind, was shrouded in a layer of heaviness and silence. Only those uninterrupted sounds - the monotonous rhythm of food and water bottles hitting each other, spread in the space for a full half an hour. This seemed to have become the rhythm of music in the carriage. Although silence still permeated the carriage, it was no longer dull and oppressive. On the contrary, a small ** of introspection and reflection ignited in the hearts of some people. They seemed to have some different insights and understandings during this journey...
