The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 26 Practice
In Cao Wenzhi's 'bang bang' knock on the door.

Li Aiguo woke up from his sleep, hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door.

"Li Aiguo, why are you still sleeping, it's almost three o'clock!"

It was already 02:30 in the afternoon, and Liu Chunhua stipulated to gather in front of the general section at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, then go to the practical examination room together, and take the exam at [-]:[-].

If you can't sign the record book before three o'clock, you won't be able to take the practical test.

Cao Wenzhi was also in a hurry at this moment, he opened his mouth and began to reprimand him.

Late. Li Aiguo woke up instantly.

Gritting his teeth secretly, needless to say, it was Liu Chunhua's fault again!
At noon, in order to allow each candidate to have a good rest, the general section specially arranged them in the guest house of the general section.

Cao Wenzhi was worried about the children at home, so he went back temporarily, and the task of leading the team was given to Liu Chunhua.

Arguably.

Liu Chunhua should wake up every examinee before the assembly, count the number of candidates, and wait for everyone to arrive before leading the team to the practical examination room.

It was almost the exam, and he didn't call himself. The anger in his heart rose instantly, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "Master Cao, Director Liu Chunhua promised before that he will call me before the exam."

"She didn't call you? When I left, I specifically told Liu Chunhua to count the number of people in the assembly to ensure that every candidate was present." Cao Wenzhi frowned.

He had already noticed that Liu Chunhua was targeting Li Aiguo everywhere, but he didn't expect that Liu Chunhua would dare to play tricks on such a crucial matter.

In case Li Aiguo really can't catch up with the practical exam and can't take over smoothly, he will definitely go to the general section to find the section chief or even the bureau chief.

When the time comes, does Liu Chunhua really think that her deputy section chief can keep her?

This woman has big breasts and no brains!
"No one called me at all!"

"Now is not the time to pursue this. I will report the situation to Duanli. You go to take the exam first, so don't waste time." Cao Wenzhi changed the subject.

Li Aiguo put on his clothes and shoes as fast as he could, rushed to the water room, washed his face with wheezing, and then ran all the way. It took less than 10 minutes to reach the practice field.

The so-called practice field is actually several sections of criss-crossing railway tracks next to the general construction section, on which three 'August [-]' steam locomotives are parked.

Under the sunlight, the steam locomotive shone with a metallic luster, like a beast ready to go.

At this time, the candidates participating in the practical exercise had already arrived and were queuing up to sign and draw numbers.

Zhang Dahua saw Li Aiguo running over in a hurry, and waved to him: "Aiguo, didn't Liu Chunhua say that you came to the examination room early? Why are you here now?"

Li Aiguo ran over to sign his name, got the number plate, walked to Zhang Dahua and gritted his teeth and said.

"That bitch lied to you. If Master Cao hadn't knocked on the door, I would definitely have missed the exam."

"You lied to me?"

Rao Zhang Dahua was slow to respond, and now she understands: "She must be doing it for her brother. This woman is really bad. You will get No.1 later, and you will piss her off!"

"It's up to you to say, I'm here this time to get a driver's skill standard!" Li Aiguo straightened his chest.

The practical test is very simple. You just need to drive the train and run for seven or eight kilometers on the rails.

But whether you can get a high score depends on the candidate's operating level.

The steam engines used in this era had little automated electronics.

All operations have to be controlled manually by the driver, which is cumbersome and difficult, and requires great effort.

Zhang Dahua was ranked fifth. When the examiner called her name, she took out a steamed bun from her canvas pocket and gnawed on it.

Fist-sized buns are stuffed into the mouth in twos and threes.

Zhang Dahua wiped the steamed bun at the corner of her mouth, and stared at the stunned young examiner: "What's the matter, are you not allowed to eat steamed buns during the exam?"

The young examiner was in his 20s and obviously had never seen the world, so Zhang Dahua was overwhelmed by him.

He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "There is no such rule."

"Then why are you still in a daze, open the door quickly."

"Ah oh."

The young examiner stretched out his hand to pull the car door, but an old comrade next to him couldn't stand it any longer.

"Zhang Dahua, don't mess around, be careful your father knows and won't let you eat at night."

"I know the complaint"

Zhang Dahua shrank his neck, opened the car door by himself, and climbed up the train building.

Li Aiguo stood below and couldn't see what was going on above.

Three to five minutes later, I saw bursts of black smoke coming out of the chimney of the train, followed by two crisp sirens.
The train moved slowly and gradually accelerated. Like a monster, it roared along the railroad track and disappeared into the railroad track covered by the woods.

According to the test regulations, each candidate has to drive the train for five kilometers with the assistance of the co-driver, and then return. The whole journey is about ten kilometers.

For a train with a speed of up to 40km/h, it only takes more than 20 minutes to travel ten kilometers.

If the time limit is severe, the candidate will definitely fail.

Li Aiguo chatted with several candidates while paying attention to the timer next to him.

really.

When the time jumped to 20 minutes, there was a roar in the distance, and the ground began to shake.

With the sound of two whistles, the train began to slow down, and finally gradually stopped not far ahead.

Li Aiguo saw the two examiners bring their rulers and ran over to measure where the train stopped.

Only then did he discover that in the area where the train stopped, comrades from the education department of the main section had drawn a line on the rails with white lime in advance.

When the train stops, the closer it is to the lime line, the higher the parking level of the train driver.

Li Aiguo had studied in technical manuals.

Like the steam locomotive "Bayi No. 92.07" used in the test, the weight of the front is as high as 66 tons, and the weight of the empty carriage is [-] tons.

Today's locomotive has a total of fourteen carriages.

The total weight of the trains is up to 1000 tons.

It is difficult in itself to accurately park a thousand-ton behemoth in a designated area.

not to mention.

The braking system of the locomotive and the braking system of the carriage are not the same thing.

When the train decelerates, the train driver has to operate two sets of brake systems at the same time according to the weight and speed of the train. The difficulty can be imagined.

If.

In the previous life, the large trailer was reversed into the warehouse, which can test the quality of the driver of the large truck, and the fixed stop of the train is enough to show the level of the train driver.

"15 meters away from the point! Excellent results!"

Hearing the number reported by the examiner, Zhang Dahua, who had just jumped out of the car, waved his fist excitedly.

'This little girl is amazing, only 15 meters away, which should be the best result of the day. '

'That's for sure. I've heard that Zhang Dahua's grandfather is our first generation driver. '

'The family has a long history, no wonder a little girl dared to drive a train. '

The candidates next to them and the teacher leading the team couldn't help applauding too.

It's really not easy for a young girl to be able to do things that many old drivers can't do.

The practical test results were announced on the spot, out of 92 points, Zhang Dahua finally got [-] points.

If her performance in the culture class is not bad, she will be a strong contender for the top three.
