The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 30 Resolved
Assistant Liu has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Pointing to the blueprint, he said slowly: "Dong Gong, Comrade Patriotic, have you thought about it.

The sand is sticky, even if it is placed on the top of the train, it is difficult to guarantee that the sand will flow down smoothly when the valve is opened.

Once there is an emergency, the sand suddenly solidifies.

Isn't that blind? "

Engineer Dong's expression was solemn: "Your idea is very reasonable."

He raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo: "Comrade Aiguo, what do you think?"

"How do you see it? Of course I saw it with my eyes."

Li Aiguo chuckled and said, "The reason why the sand is sticky is because it contains water inside, and the gravitational force of the water molecules will bind them together."

"If we fry the sand to get rid of the moisture inside it, it will be much less viscous."

"Combined with reasonable conveying settings, the sand in the sandbag will definitely flow down smoothly."

Frying sand may sound funny, but it is a common practice in later generations.

In the locomotive depots of later generations, there were even positions for sand fryers.

As soon as the words came out, Assistant Liu's eyes widened suddenly: "Zaosha, this is too unbelievable, Comrade Li Aiguo, don't just talk about it, this is related to the safety of thousands of trains, you are going to make a big mistake."

Engineer Dong frowned and thought for a moment, then interrupted him:

"Enough! Xiao Liu, when you encounter a problem, you don't want to solve the problem, but want to question other people's solutions."

"This impetuous attitude is unacceptable!"

"The patriotic comrade's method seems simple, and it is a local method."

"Sometimes homegrown solutions can solve big problems."

Talking.

He picked up a pen and calculated on the straw paper, looked at the final result, and nodded.

"According to the patriotic comrade's method, as long as it is roasted, the sand in the sandbag can definitely flow down smoothly."

Assistant Liu's face turned pale, and he squeezed out an awkward smile: "It's me, Meng Lang."

Dong Gong looked at Assistant Liu indifferently, shook his head slightly, and did not criticize him.

This kind of quick-witted person is really not suitable for research, and he should find an opportunity to transfer him back to Sifang Factory.

Assistant Liu still doesn't know his own fate, it has already been determined by his "outstanding performance".

In order to make up for his mistakes, he hurriedly brought tea and water to Li Aiguo.

Subsequently.

Li Aiguo drew the second half of the drawing, and made certain optimizations according to the characteristics of the 'August [-]' steam engine.

It was already dinner time by this time.

Li Aiguo was about to bid farewell when the staff of the main workshop brought an aluminum lunch box.

Open the lunch box, there is fragrant rice inside, and the side dish is fried soybeans.

Under the dim light, the soybeans exuded a greasy luster, and Li Aiguo's Adam's apple trembled after being hungry all afternoon.

Dong Gong stopped his pen and looked at Li Aiguo with great interest.

"How about it? Are you interested in working in our Sifang factory? I promise you can eat fried soybeans every day."

Li Aiguo shook his head: "No, my father is a train driver, and his last wish is for me to take over his job and do more for the country."

Entering the Sifang Factory, with his ability, at least he can become a ninth-level engineer, and the salary seems to be much better than driving a train.

but.

In the near future, there will be a strong wind blowing in the capital.

It is still the safest for workers.

Of course.

The more important reason is that Li Aiguo likes to drive big trains.

Seeing that Li Aiguo was not moved, Dong Gong stopped persuading him and lowered his head to study the blueprint again.

Engineers are also paid a little higher than train drivers, and their social status and reputation are far inferior to train drivers.

Li Aiguo's reluctance to 'change jobs' is also reasonable.

The 'sandbag' is only cleverly conceived, and the structure is not complicated. It only took Dong Gong two hours to understand the blueprint.

He put down the drawing, his eyes sparkled, and he couldn't wait to pick up the phone with the shaker handle, and shook it violently.

"Please transfer to Deputy Director Wang."

After a while, Deputy Director Wang's tired voice came from the phone.

"Old Dong, you better have good news."

"Wang Ju, this time we picked up the treasure!"

After half an hour.

Deputy Director Wang rushed to the office with a leader.

As soon as he opened the door, Deputy Director Wang laughed loudly: "Old Dong, you had better not lie to me this time. For you, I stopped all the business meetings."

Li Aiguo looked up.

Sure enough, the people following him were leaders from various divisions.

Among them was Xing Liuzhu, Duan Zhang of the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

Xing Liuzhu once represented the locomotive depot and visited Li Aiguo's father at Li's house.

Seeing that Li Aiguo was also there, Xing Liuzhu was slightly taken aback.

in the afternoon.

Xing Liuzhu heard Cao Wenzhi mention that a candidate from the Qianmen locomotive depot got double hundred points in the exam and was invited away by Dong Gong.

Originally, I just thought Dong Gong loved talents.

Now it seems that there is a mystery here.

Now that Director Wang can interrupt the meeting and come here overnight, this kid must have done something terrible.

In the afternoon, Cao Wenzhi also reported Liu Chunhua's embarrassment to Li Aiguo.

Considering the close relationship between Liu Chunhua and Deputy Chief Liu, in order not to destroy the unity of the team, Xing Liuzhu originally planned to have a talk with Liu Chunhua and comfort Li Aiguo, and the matter was just over.

Now he feels that he should reconsider how to deal with Liu Chunhua.

As for how to think about it, it depends on what Li Aiguo has come up with.

Seeing Xing Liuzhu staring at him, Li Aiguo nodded at him carelessly.

Xing Liuzhu was happy.

This kid is not timid, but rather interesting.

You know, in the locomotive depot, the section chief is the biggest leader.

In addition, Xing Liuzhu has a serious and strict character.

Many staff members and train drivers saw Xing Liuzhu as if a mouse had seen a cat.

Only an old driver like Cao Wenzhi dared to joke with him face to face.

The two of them were 'eyebrowing' here, and Engineer Dong had already pulled Deputy Director Wang to the desk.

"Old Wang, look, this is the complete drawing of the sandbag."

Deputy Director Wang looked at the densely packed blueprints, and pinched his brows: "Old Dong, I'm a political worker, and I only know a little about the blueprints. If you don't understand these technologies, you can tell me if this thing is useful?"

"Useful, definitely useful!"

Engineer Dong straightened his back and said confidently: "I have already calculated that as long as the sandbags are filled with sand before each trip, and in case of an emergency, the valve is opened and the sand is sprinkled on the rails, which can generate enough friction and absolutely avoid most of the sliding rail accidents."

"This is what I want!"

Deputy Director Wang suddenly became energetic, his gray hair stood on end.

"As of this year, more than 30 rail accidents have occurred in our main section, causing more than 20 casualties and losing tens of thousands of tons of supplies. We must install sandbags on the roof of each train as soon as possible."

He waved his hand: "Mr. Dong, you are the technical representative of Sifang Factory. I now order you to send the drawings back to Sifang Factory immediately, so that the comrades of Sifang Factory can produce sandbag equipment according to the drawings."

"Yes!"

"Section Chief Zhang, please coordinate a batch of supplies immediately and send them to Sifang Factory."

"Yes!"

"Director Liu, you should set up sand frying departments in each section immediately."

"Yes!"

The railway people of this era are full of tension and a sense of mission.

With the promulgation of orders one after another, even though it was already late at night, the entire workshop was still busy like a huge machine.
