I brought a Jurassic

Chapter 337 Requesting a Jeep
Zulong waved his hand and readily agreed to Wang Luo's request.

"It's not gold or silver. We don't want it. The reward from Shandong Province is more than 10,000 yuan, which is enough for me to spend for decades. You see, I'm about to become an adult, and I still ride my sister's bicycle. It's really inconvenient to ride it all the time.

So, for the first reward, I want a car, not a new one, because the country still needs it, and it should be used where it is most needed. Just give me an old American Willys that we captured before, and it’s okay if it breaks down, I can fix it myself.”

"That's it. It's simple. Li Da, your logistics department should have a lot of these cars. Just pick a good one and give it to Wang Luo as a reward!"

The use of Willys Jeep in Longguo was mainly based on the spoils captured on the battlefield in the early stage. However, after more than ten years, these guys that were once so powerful on the battlefield have begun to be eliminated. After all, there are no spare parts to use. Except for a small part, they can only be scrapped or re-smelted into steel.

Instead, they imported the GAZ-69 jeep from Russia and the Type 3 jeep, which was based on the Willys CJ6A but incorporated many of their own ideas. The body was larger and wider, and there were 58 seats inside.

The largest number of vehicles in use is the Changjiang 5 Jeep, which was jointly manufactured by Changan Factory and Xiangjiang Machinery Factory based on the Jeep CJ46 and participated in the National Day Parade in 1959.

By the time the production was stopped in 1963, a total of 1390 vehicles had been produced. Among the various domestic jeeps of the same period, the Changjiang brand had the largest output and was the most reliable. After the production of the Changjiang brand 1963 jeep was stopped in 46, the Changan factory transferred the technical data to the Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Factory, which later became the 212 jeep that some people loved and some people criticized.

Of course, there are also various jeep brands manufactured in other places, such as the Yellow River JN220 Jeep in Ji City, the Fengtian Fiberglass Factory and the Fengtian Automobile Assembly Plant jointly produced a fiberglass jeep called the "Satellite" brand, the Hongqi brand in Fu City, the Yangtze River brand in Wu City, and so on.

"Come with me to the military camp tomorrow to get them. They are all sealed in the Xishan Military Camp."

Li Da agreed immediately.

"What about the second request? Tell me now!"

Zulong asked Wang Luo.

"The second one is a little special. I hope you and the other old generals can each write me a calligraphy based on their most representative poems. It must be signed and sealed!"

"Hahaha, you kid, you don't want gold and silver, you don't want banknotes, but you want a bunch of poems. This is easy. I'll ask them to write one for you, and I'll write another one. I'll write the one called Qinyuanchunxue. I'm very satisfied with that poem. Although it's early summer now, not winter, it's not bad."

Upon hearing this request, Zulong immediately laughed out loud. Wang Luo had done a lot of things, and just wanted some calligraphy. Of course this had to be satisfied.

"That's great, I've been waiting for it!"

Compared to the time-travelling gods who collect antiques, Wang Luo is not very interested in this. Not to mention whether he can see it, even if he can see it, what can he do? It has no value. The so-called high-priced antiques in the future are just hype for money laundering. In fact, these poems and calligraphy are more meaningful. If they are taken out in the future, hey, it will definitely be face-saving. Who can be as awesome as him! After eating a meal and getting the reward, which can be regarded as a place to pay wages, Wang Luo went home. Before leaving, Zulong also gave him some books that he had annotated and commented on, which made everyone happy.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Wang Luo ran to find Uncle Li Da happily, and was taken to the military camp to choose a Willys Jeep.

"The replaced Willys are all here. Apart from some minor problems, they are in good condition. It's just that the spare parts are hard to find. You can choose!"

Li Da opened the warehouse and pointed to a dozen jeeps on one side and said to Wang Luo.

Wang Luo walked over and took a look at the tires and other exterior accessories. Apart from some rusty spots and tires that needed repairing, it was in good condition. After getting in the car, he tried to start the engine with the crank, and it actually started. That was fine, there was no big problem, it just needed some repairs.

As an old off-road veteran in later generations, besides work and fishing, he plays with cars. It just so happened that all the off-road vehicles he played with were off-road vehicles. The first one he bought was a Wrangler. Later, after the Wrangler was discontinued in China, he sold the car and replaced it with a Great Wall Tank 300 to play with.

It is definitely boring to play with off-road vehicles or plain cars, so they need to be modified. It just so happens that he likes this. An old friend of his has a modification shop, and he often goes to him for tea. Both cars were modified at his shop, and he also personally participated in it.

Seeing that he was more interested in this aspect and there was no conflict of interest involved, his friend told him all his years of experience in cars and took him to play when he was off work. Although he was not as good as the best in terms of cars, he was better than the worst. He could not catch up with the big guys, but he was not too bad either. He could solve daily problems by himself, so a simple jeep like Willys was not a problem for him at all, mainly because it did not have many circuits and was not high-tech, it was a purely mechanical thing.

"You kid, do you know how to drive? Don't mess around. If you want to drive out, go learn how to drive from the car soldiers before you go on the road. Otherwise, what will you do if you get into an accident?"

Seeing Wang Luo start the car, wipe off the dust, put the car in gear and was about to drive away, he stopped him immediately.

Driving seems very glamorous now, as it is one of the eight major memberships. But in the era when there were no driving schools, learning to drive was not an easy task. It would take at least one to two years to learn from a master.

It is easy to drive a car, but the trouble is that you have to know how to repair it. If the quality of the car is not up to standard, and it breaks down on the road, there will be no village or shop nearby, no rescue vehicle, and no repair shops scattered throughout the streets and alleys. You can only fix it yourself. Being a car driver nowadays is definitely a technical job.

Not only do you need to know how to repair things, you also need to be strong. Nowadays there is no electronic start, so all you have to rely on is shaking the car like a tractor. There is no power steering or hydraulic steering, it is purely mechanical steering. If you don't have the strength, you can't even turn the steering wheel. Those old drivers who learned to drive the Liberation with a B license in the early days should have a deep understanding of this.

"Uncle, do I need to learn this? It's just starting the car, then stepping on the clutch, shifting gears, and stepping on the accelerator. It's such a simple thing. Maintenance is even simpler. I can even do an oil pump, let alone this. It's not complicated at all. Just wait and see!"

After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator skillfully and slipped out of the warehouse, ran back and forth on the playground of the military camp, and finally did a drift into the warehouse. My agility and reaction ability in this life are not comparable to those in the future, they are ridiculously strong, and drifting is not a piece of cake for me.
