The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 208 The Controversy Between Internal Combustion Engines and Electric Locomotives
the other side.

Director Jia of the passenger transport workshop made three or four phone calls.

Promising all kinds of benefits, the other party agreed at first.

But a moment later, in the call back, the other party rejected Director Jia without hesitation.

And it was mentioned very vaguely that this time the Lufeng Office sent the deputy director Liu Guozhang down.

Director Jia has never dealt with Liu Guozhang.

I've also heard that this person is a veteran, he doesn't eat old things, and he doesn't eat oil and salt.

Instantly dispelled the idea of ​​rescuing the old turtle.

Instead, start to clear up the responsibility and avoid implicating yourself.

Fortunately, this guy, Lao Turtle, is very smart.

In the past, whether it was sending things or sending money, it was all sneaky, and there was no finishing touch.

After all, he is a middle-level cadre in the locomotive depot. As long as he firmly refuses to admit it, Lu Feng will have nothing to do with him.

Director Jia had weathered the storm and gradually calmed down.

He returned to his desk, took out a piece of manuscript paper, and began to write a thought report.

Wait until evening.

The supervisor of Lu Feng Office came to the door, took out his ID card and waved it in front of him.

"Are you Jia Zhengyi? Now I suspect that you are related to a temporary worker named Wang Erganzi. Please come with us."

It's off-duty time.

People come and go in front of the office building.

Just like that, Director Jia was taken away by the inspector of the Lufeng Office in uniform.

Li Aiguo happened to be off work and bumped into Director Jia face to face.

The two looked at each other silently, Director Jia lowered his head.

He clenched his fists tightly, and thought to himself: Damn you little driver, after labor and management get through this crisis this time, you will have something to look forward to in the future.

Li Aiguo suddenly stopped in his tracks, stopped in front of the inspector, and pretended to be angry: "Two inspector comrades, why did you take Director Jia away from our workshop?

Director Jia has always been strict with himself and has a high level of thinking. He is a model in our passenger transport workshop. How could he make mistakes? "

Li Aiguo's voice was very loud, and soon attracted the attention of many employees, and the big guys surrounded him one after another.

Pointing at Director Jia.

"Isn't this Lao Jia from the passenger transport workshop? How could he be taken away by the inspector?"

"What else could be the reason? I must have made a mistake!"

"I really can't tell, Lao Jia is very active on weekdays."

"You know what, it's called benevolence and morality, but it's actually bad."

"The leader's mouth, a deceitful ghost, don't listen to what he says, but watch what he does!"

Under the scorching sun.

The staff's comments made Director Jia breathless, his white shirt was soaked with sweat, and dense sweat appeared on his forehead.

Now that he is done, even if he can withstand the pressure and survive the inspection by the Lu Feng Office, his bad reputation can be considered as a fall.

If it was possible, he had already charged up and tore Li Aiguo to pieces.

What's even more exasperating is that he still can't blame Li Aiguo.

After all, people are also concerned about him.

In the locomotive depot, few people had the courage to stop Lu Feng from inspecting.

The two inspectors were also slightly taken aback.

After recognizing Li Aiguo as the young driver on the train, he nodded slightly and explained: "We are not in a position to explain the details, but don't worry, we will never unjustly accuse a good person."

"Then I will trouble you. My Director Jia is a clean leader. He will never accept gifts from others, nor will he intentionally embarrass the workers in the workshop, let alone suppress them."

Now that I've broken my heart, I don't need to save my face for you.

Li Aiguo told all the shit that Director Jia did.

If it was in later generations, once Director Jia didn't go in this time, he would definitely be put on little shoes in the future.

However, in this era when workers are the largest.

As long as they are aboveboard and meet production targets with quality and quantity, few people will be afraid of their leaders.

If you dare to play tricks secretly, I dare to rush to the office.

First, I will treat you to an old punch, and then I will carry you outside, so that all the staff in the locomotive depot can see your ugly appearance.

A leader who was retained before liberation was still old-fashioned, relying on his status as a leader to bully workers.

That's how it was fixed.

The troublemaker was not only not criticized, but was later rated as advanced.

And the leader was dropped to the bottom and sent to the maintenance station to knock stones.

The onlookers were even angrier now.

A few young people had already linked their arms and wanted to go up and teach Director Jia a lesson.

Director Jia was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and trembling all over.

But he couldn't stop it with words.

After all, Li Aiguo was pleading for him.

Stopping Li Aiguo at this time, wouldn't it be a guilty conscience, and those charges were confirmed.

I could only curse in my heart over and over again: This kid is really too ruthless.

This feeling is really too aggrieved.

Finally, the two inspectors figured out the clue.

Fearing that the employees would rush up, they hurriedly took Director Jia and left the scene.

After they leave.

Zhang Yazhi's eyes widened excitedly: "Now it's all right. Director Jia must have been taken away because of the old turtle's affairs. He might be sentenced to a few years in prison, so we don't have to be bullied by him."

"You think too simply. How can an old fox like this be so easily defeated?" Li Aiguo was also in a good mood.

Even if Director Jia escaped this time, his future would be considered over.

Zhang Yazhi also knows that railway leaders like Director Jia who have climbed up from the grassroots have always been rigorous in doing things.

He has a deep relationship with all aspects. If there is no real evidence, it will be difficult to crucify him only by relying on Laobie's confession.

Zhang Yazhi sighed with some regret: "It's a pity, how can someone like Jia Zhengyi who has no ideological consciousness and a small stomach be a leader!"

"It's okay. As the saying goes, if you do a lot of evil, you will kill yourself. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Back in the dormitory, took a shower, and put on big pants.

Li Aiguo originally planned to ride his bicycle back to the courtyard.

Just walked into the hallway.

He was pulled into the dormitory next door by a small white and slender hand.

"Brother Patriotic, don't leave yet, sister, please do me a favor." Zhang Yazhi's beautiful dimple was blushing all over.

The so-called help turned out to be asking Li Aiguo to help her.

In the next half an hour, Li Aiguo and Zhang Yazhi pulled out the radishes that had been planted on the balcony.

Let her see what it is called.

In the hot and dry dormitory, on a single bed.

After a long time, it was considered to be slowed down.

Li Aiguo stood up and wiped off his sweat with a towel, frowned and said, "Sister Yazhi, this tube building is hot in summer and cold in winter, so there is no comfortable time, you should rent a private house and move out as soon as possible."

"I think the same way, but renting a house now costs an extra RMB 1 a month, and the house is not very good."

Zhang Yazhi sat up and fanned Li Aiguo with a cattail fan.

"When I save some money, I might as well buy a house."

Zhang Yazhi came up and said in a discussing tone: "I've inquired about it. The house near our locomotive depot, two rooms, only costs about 150 yuan."

"It is true that you can buy a house, but you have to make sure that the house is a private house. Don't buy a public house in someone else's unit. Then it will be unclear."

"Don't worry, it's my distant uncle who pulls the fiber."

Seeing that Li Aiguo agreed, Zhang Yazhi made up her mind to buy a house.

Her monthly salary plus subsidy is more than 50 yuan.

In addition to delivering goods with Li Aiguo, I can get 80 yuan a month.

As long as you save money for three months, you can buy a house.

A house for three months is still within the third ring road of Beijing. This is simply unimaginable in future generations.

Li Aiguo sighed in his heart, put on his clothes and left the dormitory.

He had made an appointment with Teacher Liu Guozhang before, and he was going to visit Liu's house in the evening.

For Teacher Liu Guozhang, Li Aiguo was full of admiration.

After all, in that era, he dared to give up his high-paying job without hesitation, risked his life, and bravely plunged into the torrent of the times.

If you don't have a strong will, there is no way to do it.

Riding a tandem bicycle, Li Aiguo bought two bottles of old Fen wine before it was dark at the supply and marketing cooperative, and went to the pastry shop to call a box of bad.

Liu Guozhang's home is located in Wudaoying Hutong.

Many buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties have been preserved here, with narrow and simple streets and a dazzling array of shops.

The Liu family is an exclusive courtyard, and the style of the house should be that of an ancestral home.

knock on the door.

The door was opened by a middle-aged lesbian in a gray tunic.

The lesbian has crisp, ear-length hair.

She has a full sky, frowning eyebrows, and a high nose bridge. Although she is over thirty, she can still vaguely look like a young woman, she must be a big beauty.

Li Aiguo never fought unprepared battles, and knew about the Liu family's situation before coming here.

This woman's name is Fang Shilan.

There is something special about her background. Before liberation, she was the daughter of a big capitalist. Because of her pursuit of advancement, she also entered the torrent of the times.

In the battle, he forged a deep friendship with Liu Guozhang.

After liberation.

Because Fang Shilan's father had problems, an old leader once persuaded Liu Guozhang to find another woman of innocent background.

However, Liu Guozhang insisted on going his own way and insisted on marrying Fang Shilan. While becoming a couple of gods and gods, his official career was also affected.

otherwise.

With the work Liu Guozhang did before liberation, he will not be trapped in the railway bureau now.

"Comrade, what are you?" Fang Shilan was surprised.

Li Aiguo smiled: "Mrs. Fang, I am a student of Teacher Liu, and I have an appointment with Teacher Liu."

"You are the train driver student, come in quickly, Lao Liu was still talking about you just now."

Hearing this, Fang Shilan immediately became enthusiastic and invited Li Aiguo into the yard.

The courtyard is simple and elegant, with blue bricks on the floor, a walnut tree in the corner, and several flower pots under the eaves, with bright flowers blooming inside.

Fang Shilan yelled into the main room: "Old Liu, Comrade Patriotic is here."

At this time Liu Guozhang came out of the main room.

He wore an old-fashioned pajamas with a brown coat, which was a little less majestic and more elegant than when he was in the locomotive depot.

Li Aiguo smiled and called out to the teacher.

"Go into the room and talk." Liu Guozhang nodded, glanced at the gift in Li Aiguo's hand, and said nothing.

The furnishings in the house are much better than those in the homes of residents in large courtyards.

There are wooden upholstered sofas, smooth terrazzo on the floor, and three or four mirror frames hanging on the walls.

There is a radio on the chest of drawers, and a sewing machine in the corner is covered with a white cloth embroidered with lace.Liu Guozhang did not stay, but pushed away from the next room.

The room is full of books and a desk, it looks like it should be a study.

Li Aiguo changed into his slippers and followed inside.

Sitting generously on the chair with sofa cushions.

This thing is really soft, just like the latex mats of later generations. If there is a chance, I have to make a set myself.

Liu Guozhang sat at the desk, exchanged greetings with Li Aiguo, and asked a few questions about his recent situation.

After learning that he just entered the locomotive depot this year and got the information of advanced railway workers, he couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

"I know the situation in the locomotive depot. Being able to stand out from dozens of train drivers is worthy of being my old Liu's student."

"You taught me back then that you have to do what you do and love what you do. Since I am a train driver, I will become the best train driver."

Liu Guozhang raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo: "You have ambitions, but..."

Fang Shilan came in and poured tea for the two, interrupting the conversation for two days.

She was going to have dinner, and asked Li Aiguo if there was any food that should not be eaten.

After getting the answer, he looked at Liu Guozhang with a smile: "Old Liu, we have a good deal. You can't talk about work at home. If I hear it, you will violate discipline."

Liu Guozhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you bringing this up in front of your children?

Besides, isn't your matter already finalized? !You have long since lost your relationship with your father. "

Fang Shilan wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw Li Aiguo raised her head, she smiled awkwardly, turned and left.

The content of the chatter between the two was very vague, and Li Aiguo also made a guess.

It must be because of Fang Shilan's identity.

"Your teacher's wife is like this. She is in her 30s and still looks like a child."

Liu Guozhang explained with a smile, took a sip of tea, and then said: "As a driver of a steam locomotive, you have done a good job, but the times are developing. Now foreign countries are popularizing new locomotives, and China will soon Keep up, and you have to keep up."

Sure enough, it was the teacher. After a few words, the class started.

Li Aiguo straightened his chest and nodded: "Our locomotive depot has also distributed information on internal combustion engines and electric locomotives for us train drivers to learn from."

When it came to work, Liu Guozhang suddenly regained his energy and asked curiously, "Which one do you think is more suitable for us, the internal combustion engine or the electric locomotive?"

Li Aiguo was taken aback for a moment.

Why should the deputy director of the Road Wind Office of the Railway Bureau care about these things.

Looking around, he noticed that Liu Guozhang's desk and bookshelves were full of various books related to locomotives, many of which were in Russian.

Li Aiguo remembered the news he had heard, and asked curiously: "Teacher, I heard that you are going to be promoted."

Liu Guozhang took a deep look at Li Aiguo, and praised your boy for being well informed.

Because it was a teacher-student relationship, he didn't hide it either.

"Your teacher's wife's problem has been basically investigated, and the superior decided to transfer me to the Railway Research Institute of the Ministry of Railways as the deputy director."

Li Aiguo's eyes suddenly widened.

The Railway Research Institute of the Ministry of Railways is a research institute established by the Ministry of Railways to develop the railway industry.

In addition to researching locomotives, it also has direct jurisdiction over local research institutes.

Professor Dong of the Sifang Factory, to a certain extent, is under the management of the Railway Research Institute.

The Railway Research Institute seems to have a low reputation. Many people have never heard of it, but its rank is not low. The deputy director is at the same level as the director of the rolling mill.

And Liu Guozhang's future after the age of 40 can be imagined.

"Congratulations, teacher, for going one step further." Li Aiguo stood up and said.

Liu Guozhang waved his hand: "We are a teacher-student relationship, so don't do this with me. You are a front-line worker. To some extent, your knowledge of trains may far exceed those of those researchers. I am not sure about one thing." , just wanted to ask for your opinion."

Liu Guozhang was a teacher before liberation.

At that time, the relationship between teachers and students was iron-clad.

The so-called one-day teacher and life-long husband is not empty talk.

Naturally, Li Aiguo would not refuse, and listened attentively.

original.

Now within the Railway Research Institute, there are disagreements about the direction of train development.

One school suggested to follow the world trend and develop diesel locomotives step by step like Europe, America and Big Brother.

Another group proposed that more advanced electric locomotives should be developed.

Compared with internal combustion engines, electric locomotives have higher speed and traction, and are also more environmentally friendly. Their future prospects will far exceed those of internal combustion engines.

Just like the world's first car was an electric car.

Electric locomotives appeared earlier than internal combustion engines.

Only because of technical reasons, it has not been developed for a long time, but was surpassed by the internal combustion engine.

In fact, since liberation, the country has realized the advanced nature of electric locomotives and began to study electric locomotives.

Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Factory is manufacturing my country's first electric locomotive, namely 6Y1 trunk line electric locomotive, with the help of experts from Jiangsu.

"Actually, I'm inclined to continue researching electric locomotives, just...you look at this."

Liu Guozhang sighed, picked up a copy of internal reference material, and handed it to Li Aiguo.

On rough paper, there are printed words.

"Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Factory's 6Y1 main line electric locomotive failed in trial operation, and a huge amount of money was wasted. Who is responsible for it! 》

The content of the article is very simple.

That is, the 6Y1 main line electric locomotive was returned to the factory for refurbishment because the ignition tube as the main rectifier could not work normally during the running test of the locomotive on the circular railway.

The above also fiercely accused the Institute of insisting on researching electric locomotives, insisting on walking on the wrong road.

At present, Big Brother and European and American countries are vigorously researching diesel locomotives.

The institute should turn back from its lost track, follow the world trend, and abandon electric locomotives.

After reading it, Li Aiguo called it a good guy in his heart.

He was still in the internal newspaper of the railway a while ago, and saw that the research on the 6Y1 main line electric locomotive was going well, and it was estimated that it would be installed soon.

At that time, Li Aiguo felt strange.

Because in his memory, several types of electric locomotives studied in this era in China all ended in failure.

It turned out to be a real failure.
However, it was not announced to the outside world, but was published in the internal reference.

Liu Guozhang continued from the side: "According to the plan of the research institute, there will be several types of electric locomotive research projects in the future.

But now someone has taken a shot at the internal ginseng.

The department already had doubts about electric locomotives and felt that the cost was too high, and now they are even more hesitant.

Inside the institute.

Because of the failure of the 6Y1 main line electric locomotive project, some comrades were also shaken.

Once in office, I will face difficult choices. "

Li Aiguo put down the newspaper and looked at Liu Guozhang: "Teacher, you should have studied locomotives, and you should be clear that the internal combustion engine is a mature technology, and foreign countries have almost mastered this technology, and have established a moat with technology patents.

Even if we spend energy and time to continue research on internal combustion locomotives, it will be difficult to make breakthroughs. "

Liu Guozhang looked at Li Aiguo in surprise. An ordinary train driver could only understand electric locomotives and diesel locomotives, which was considered qualified.

This kid can think of the follow-up development, and his layout and vision have surpassed those leaders in the research institute.

"Go on."

"Although the development of electric locomotives is slow, once the technology matures, it will inevitably replace gasoline locomotives. We should develop electric locomotives in advance to achieve overtaking on curves!" Li Aiguo looked serious.

"Curving overtaking. This concept is well put forward!"

Liu Guozhang praised again and again.

Standing up, he took out a white pack of cigarettes from the drawer, and took out two cigarettes from it.

He handed one to Li Aiguo and lit one himself.

Taking a deep breath, his frown gradually relaxed, "We are surrounded by enemies, and imperialism is selfless. If we don't find a new path, we can only follow others and eat leftovers."

This may not matter for some relatively small volumes.

But we have a population of one hundred million.

Imperialism will not allow us to develop and grow.

We must also not allow our lifeblood to be pinched by others.

only"

Liu Guozhang hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo: "What do you think about the waste of internal reference?"

Li Aiguo smoked comfortably, and smiled:
“Teacher, no technology can be achieved overnight. If you want to do something unprecedented, you have to spend more effort than others.

Didn't the newspapers often advocate that the predecessors plant trees and the descendants enjoy the shade? "

In Li Aiguo's memory.

It is the domestic railway research institute that has always insisted on researching electric locomotives and won the final victory.

From 6Y1 electric locomotive, to SS1 electric locomotive, and then to SS2 electric locomotive.
Finally, the first electric locomotive, the SS3 electric locomotive, was developed.

Later, the SS type electric locomotive continued to develop until the SS9G type electric locomotive.

China finally has a full set of research and manufacturing technology to produce the Harmony electric locomotive.

If you give up now.

Then domestic electric locomotives can only rely on foreign imports in the future.

think chip
A chill ran down Li Aiguo's back.

It was from the overall situation that Liu Guozhang realized this that he advocated vigorously developing electric locomotives.

After hearing Li Aiguo's words, this idea became more firm.

He was smoking a cigarette, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought in the faint smoke.

Perhaps an article should be written on Internal Reference with the title 'overtaking on a curve' to eliminate those negative effects.

sometimes.

A loud slogan may completely change the situation.

Years of tempering have also allowed this old teacher, who can only do things recklessly for the sake of faith, to learn to use flexible strategies in his work.

We talked, ate, and did some homework.

Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, Li Aiguo got up to leave.

"Patriotic, you will come home more often in the future."

"Don't worry, teacher, I will always bother you."

Liu Guozhang sent him to the main road outside before turning back to the small courtyard.

Fang Shilan was squatting by the sink, washing the dishes, saw him come back, raised his head and said with a smile, "Old Liu, I never thought you had such a promising student.

He won the title of advanced railway worker at a young age, and he might be able to become the leader of the locomotive depot in the future. "

"You, you still underestimated him. When we talked about train technical issues just now, he just picked it up casually and spoke clearly and clearly. He was more professional than some researchers with professional backgrounds.

Also, this kid is very well versed in the world, and his wrist is also very flexible, he is a talent to create.

It would be a pity for such talents to stay in the locomotive depot as train drivers.

I guess it won't be long before I have to find a way to transfer him to the research institute. "

Thinking of Li Aiguo's "curvy overtaking" just now, Liu Guozhang was filled with admiration from the bottom of his heart.

This slogan is concise, loud enough, and has philosophical truths, which is comparable to the slogans in newspapers.

Li Aiguo was able to pick it up at will. It's amazing!

Fang Shilan pursed her lips and smiled: "The train driver is a worker. Although his salary is lower, he is stable and not affected by the wind and waves. Does he need your kindness?"

Being insulted by his wife, Liu Guozhang could not refute. After all, Fang Shilan had indeed suffered a lot of grievances a while ago.

"Daughter-in-law, come, let me help you wash your clothes."

"Go, go, you should study your locomotive."

The small courtyard is full of cheerful atmosphere.
