The train driver in the courtyard

The operation was a great success.

One Dieter and one helper were killed in the explosion, and a batch of arms were seized, but no clues about the third group were obtained.

But the old cat was no longer in a hurry at this time.

As long as Li Aiguo's defense plan is followed, the enemy will always come to the door.

After the operation, Li Aiguo returned to the railway guesthouse of Jiangan Locomotive Depot, rested for half a day, and started the driving experiment plan.

The next morning, a faint golden light spread over the three towns of Wu Han, and two brand-new patriotic steam locomotives were quietly parked at the station.

The inspection team sent by the Bridge Engineering Bureau is giving a final speech to the 131 driver team and the Jiangan Locomotive Depot driver team.

“According to the experimental plan, you need to drive a fully loaded train to and from the bridge ten times a day to inspect whether there are any defects in the railway bridge.

When driving, you must record any abnormalities and notify the vehicle inspector on the spot. After the driving is completed, you must report it in writing to our verification team.

Now you can go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Dali from Jiangan Locomotive Depot raised his hand.

"Captain Wang, I heard that this driving is related to which driver team will participate in the first driving ceremony, so how will you rate us?"

Team leader Wang looked at Liu Dali and said slowly, "The scoring criteria were drawn up by the bureau.

Specific standards include whether the train driver's operations during driving meet the standards.

The train driver's ability to respond to emergencies and the train driver's level of locomotive operation.

The vehicle inspectors will be responsible for scoring you according to these standards."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dali turned his head to look at the steam locomotive behind Li Aiguo, wondering what he was thinking.

Li Aiguo didn't care about these things. As a train driver with perfect driving skills, why would he worry about other people's scores?

In order to be fair, the Bridge Engineering Bureau selected inspectors who avoided the Beijing and Zhengzhou Railway Bureaus.

The inspector assigned to Li Aiguo's train was named Zheng Shanyuan. He was an experienced train driver with 30 years of driving experience and was from the Yangcheng Locomotive Depot.

"Old Zheng, welcome to supervise. Are you in charge of cargo or passenger transport in Yangcheng?"

After getting on the train, Li Aiguo took out a cigarette and handed it over, asking with a smile.

Zheng Shanyuan was a conservative man. He waved his hand and refused the cigarette. He frowned and said, "I have worked in both freight and passenger transport. Now I am no longer driving on the front line. I am mainly responsible for training."

“I worked at a freight station.”

Li Aiguo pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know Liu Zhigang from Yangcheng Railway Freight Station?"

"Old Liu? Before liberation, we drove a train together. He was the driver and I was the assistant driver in charge of lookout." Zheng Shanyuan looked Li Aiguo up and down: "Do you know Old Liu?"

"That's my senior brother."

".Li Aiguo? I seem to have some impression of him."

Zheng Shanyuan seemed to remember something, and slapped his thigh and said, "The last time I visited Lao Liu's house, the medicinal wine I drank was the one you sent to him, right?"

"That thing is called the Spirit Turtle Strength Wine."

"Yes, yes, that wine was really good, but Lao Liu was too stingy and only let me drink two glasses. I wanted to drink more, and he got angry with me."

Zheng Shanyuan's face was full of aftertaste.

After recognizing Li Aiguo, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.

"You are patriotic. Old Liu has praised you a lot."

"What are you praising?" Li Aiguo took the cigarette and asked with a smile.

Zheng Shanyuan said: "He praised the wine you brewed for being delicious."

Li Aiguo: "."

Li Aiguo did not expect that Zheng Shanyuan was actually related to Liu Zhigang.

But if you think about it carefully, you will understand. Legend has it that as long as you have a network of five people, you can get in touch with the President of the United Nations.

The railway department is a closed little kingdom. The railway workers’ families are railway workers, and their friends are railway workers.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Li Aiguo was connected to Zheng Shanyuan through just one person.

Liu Qingquan and Lao Zheng were watching in amazement. When they first got on the car, they were worried that the inspector would be particularly harsh.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I became good friends with Li Aiguo. No, more like drinking buddies.

At this time, Zheng Shanyuan pulled Li Aiguo to ask how to brew Linggui Zhanshi wine.

After learning that the formula was kept secret and that more than a dozen tiger whips were needed, Zheng Shanyuan could not hide the disappointment on his face.

Li Aiguo patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Zheng, I have a jar of brewed wine at home. I will send it to you when I return to the capital."

"Thank you so much!" Zheng Shanyuan excitedly held Li Aiguo's hand.

Li Aiguo is not a stingy person. Moreover, if he wants to reach a high position, he should make more friends and fewer enemies.

Huang Jing was listening with her eyes wide open.

Seeing Zheng Shanyuan turn around to check the fuel situation in the coal-water truck, she leaned over to Li Aiguo and asked in a low voice: "Master, what kind of wine is this Linggui Zhanshi wine? Is it better than Maotai?"

"You little girl don't understand these things. Go, pour me a cup of tea." Li Aiguo handed over the enamel mug.

Huang Jing obediently took the enamel mug, poured tea, and handed it over with both hands.

Li Aiguo took a sip and shouted, "Get ready to drive!"

Woo hoo hoo. Eat like crazy, eat like crazy, eat like crazy
The train left the Jiangan Locomotive Depot like a long dragon and rushed towards the bridge.

The bridge today is as majestic, beautiful and peaceful as it was yesterday.

The sunlight shines on the railway bridge, flickering golden light, as if a golden carpet was laid on the bridge deck.

The railings on the bridge present a warm and comfortable feeling in the sun, making it feel like driving on this bridge is a very pleasant experience.

In the following day, Li Aiguo stayed on the train all day.

A few minor problems were found during driving, but they did not have a big impact.

Li Aiguo reported those problems to Zheng Shanyuan in accordance with regulations.

In the afternoon, when Li Aiguo was driving the train to pass through the bridge, he was stopped by the guard on duty.

Co-driver Liu Qingquan gave a signal to stop the train ahead. Li Aiguo first gently pushed the small gate, and the friction between the train's wheels and the rails gradually increased.

After calculating the distance, Li Aiguo felt that the distance was about right, so he pushed down the gate.

Hiss, hiss. Sparks flew from the friction between the wheels and the rails, and the train finally stopped steadily at the standard safety distance line twenty meters away from the flag.

The whole process was done in one go, like flowing water.

In particular, Zheng Shanyuan, who was standing next to Li Aiguo, did not feel the forward lean!
This shows that the deceleration of the train is linear.

This can be done by some experienced drivers as long as they are prepared in advance when driving a car.

But you have to know that the train has two braking systems and is now fully loaded.

Zheng Shanyuan is an experienced train driver and this is the first time he has encountered this braking method in his life.

He took out a notebook and wrote "10" on it.

After the train stopped.

The guard on duty ran over and informed Li Aiguo.

The railway troops of the Bridge Engineering Bureau are adjusting the steel cables of the bridge, which is expected to take an hour and the train needs to wait outside the bridge.

After adjusting the steel cables, it seemed that Liang Sicheng and the technical committee had found a way to reduce resonance. Li Aiguo also breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the train to stop and wait.
