The country is broken

In the 40s, cars were as rare as modern private jets. The difficulty of repairing cars was not only a challenge to handicraft societies, but also a challenge to engineering colleges.

The students of the handicraft club don’t know cars, and they haven’t seen this iron thing a few times, but Li Wei understands it. He lifted the hood, touched the engine with a few students who know electricity, can draw pictures, and are good at delicate mechanisms. Every component is explained, what carburetor, ignition coil, magneto, relay, gear box, and water tank, the students of the handicraft club have learned a lot, and finally found out that the fault is on the carburetor and magneto There is a problem, there are no replacement parts, and it can only be made by hand. This is a troublesome thing. To remove the broken parts, including the teachers of the engineering college and the members of the handicraft club, everyone is staring. After pondering for a long time, I muttered a set of methods, tried several times in succession, and finally made new parts out of substitute materials, put them on for a try, and this black beetle-style Ford car scurried around the playground again.

When it was time to return it to the Kuomintang official, there was a problem again. There was not much gasoline, and it had to lie there after driving for dozens of miles at most. If the car ran out of gas, it would be worse than a donkey cart. Qiu Baili, who has been studying alchemy and medicine for a long time, the two of them thought about it, and then they bought more than a hundred catties of strong Shaodaozi wine. Using simple methods, they spent a night distilling more than 90% high-purity alcohol, poured it into the fuel tank, and tried the fire. , It’s okay! Make do with it and drive to the destination to refuel.

It took only three or four days to enter the school by car, and then drive out of the school with the horn blaring. The KMT official was quite surprised. The speed did not delay his official business, and he sent someone to send two hundred silver dollars as remuneration, which was considered a huge sum of money at the time, but compared with the car, it was only worth four dollars. The tire money, compared with the consequences of his delay, is still worth it.

Repairing the car was considered a sensation in the county at that time, and in the eyes of others, the Institute of Engineering was worthy of its name, and the two hundred silver dollars really made many people jealous. [

In fact, the maintenance cost was paid off by the Kuomintang official at that time, which was only 160 silver dollars, and the extra [-] silver dollars made the life of the members of the handicraft society much more comfortable, and many scarce materials were also available. They see hope, and doing things that ordinary people can't understand can be regarded as a kind of business to support themselves.

The handicraft club was an instant hit, and it became the most complex but most united club in the clubs of the engineering college. Just the white flowers and silver dollars in the account attracted many students to join, and several other colleges also began to often use some teaching equipment. It was handed over to the handicraft society, because many colleges moved in a hurry, and many teaching instruments and equipment were not carried. The income from making some teaching equipment for other colleges greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the members.

Li Wei spent a lot of thought on the seemingly irrelevant production. These handicraft club members will be the elite of the arsenal in the future. It is very important to cultivate their basic knowledge of ordnance, but he did not say clearly that if others see that he let the students of the handicraft club do it. For military industry research, it is estimated that the Kuomintang gendarmerie will invite them to drink tea soon. Li Wei broke up all kinds of ordnance knowledge into various irrelevant aspects, combined with the usual work to pass on to the members of the commune. Unknowingly, the students They already have a certain knowledge of ordnance production.

Zhao Lei, who was busy with anti-Japanese propaganda of the Jagged Society all day long, was not surprised that Li Wei joined the handicraft society and made a splash. The old wisdom shown by Li Wei convinced Zhao Lei that Li Wei's every move had a deep meaning.

In addition to guiding the members of the handicraft club, Li Wei silently observed the other students in the school, observing their character and ability. He checks it himself, because he must keep a low profile in school, but sometimes he is not sure which knowledge has been popularized at that time, or belongs to the future.

Maybe it was born at the right time. In the club mainly composed of members of the Communist Youth League and progressive students, Zhao Lei, who was born in a small number of Kuomintang families, is also considered an outlier. It can almost be said that besides Li Wei, he is one of the number one active members in the school club. You can almost say that you are living in war, but China's weakness since the end of the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years has made the Chinese people numb to foreign aggression. Fleeing, waiting for death if caught, few people can think of resistance. The young and energetic Zhao Lei actively participated in the activities of the Iron Blood Club in the school, and even printed leaflets with his own money, and often mobilized students to fight on the main roads of the county and in various colleges. Carrying out anti-Japanese propaganda, and sometimes pulling students to Hanzhong City for larger-scale speech activities. If Zhao Lei had not joined the Kuomintang party with his father, he would have been developed by the Communist Party organization. These days, a family, It is not uncommon for each member to have different party credentials.

***************

Duan Cheng was still in a daze, and vaguely felt that someone was turning over several wounds on his body and rubbing something.

It sounded like someone was talking next to his ear, Duan Cheng subconsciously listened carefully, when he heard clearly, it was actually a Chinese and a Japanese talking, the Chinese's voice seemed familiar, what was he talking about? Not very clear, his mind went blank with a bang, and an unchangeable fact came to him.

He is captured!~

Duan Cheng wanted to roar angrily, and wanted to fight the Japanese devil and the traitor, but it caused waves of pain all over his body like huge waves. He couldn't even lift a finger, as if his body was already weak. belong to myself.

A wave of dizziness obscured his consciousness again.

When Duan Cheng woke up again, it seemed that the injuries all over his body had healed a lot, and he could barely open his eyes.

What caught my eye was a snow-white ward. I was wrapped in a soft and warm hospital bed motionless. The room was clean and tidy. The morning sun shone through the glass, and the singing of birds outside was melodious. It was an extremely comfortable feeling. From the heart, this is completely different from the feeling of living in a dark and low earthen house with a torn quilt. The Eighth Route Army absolutely does not have such a superior medical environment. For some reason, the devils seem to attach great importance to him.
