Chapter 40 Road test, exciting

Pile firewood under the car, pour the gasoline prepared in advance, and strike a match.

"Bang", the light red flames jumped up, swaying with the cold wind, gently licking the dark bottom of the fuel tank.

Only then did the thrilling moment come.

Large vehicles in this era use gasoline, which can easily explode.

If you are not careful, a big firecracker may be set off on the spot.

Li Weidong looked up and saw four examiners each holding a tin bucket filled with sand.

Their fingers on the handle trembled from time to time. It can be expected that as soon as it explodes, they will rush forward and pour sand into the fuel tank.

People these days are really real, why can't they just go through the motions like later generations?

Li Weidong has long studied how to bake the fuel tank.

Under the nervous gazes of the examiners, he skillfully stirred up the firewood so that the force on the bottom of the fuel tank was even.

After a while, there was a clicking sound inside the fuel tank, which meant that the temperature inside had risen.

He stood up calmly and kicked the fire away.

Then he opened the door and took out a crank handle weighing more than ten kilograms from under the seat, and stuck it into the small hole in the front of the truck until it reached the end.

When you feel that the protruding head of the crank is stuck into the groove of the engine, shake the crank hard.

Rocking the handle is the most troublesome thing for every truck driver. It is not only labor-intensive, but also requires skills.

Sometimes if you are not careful and do not control it well, the rocker will turn upside down.

The handle of the black iron rod can hit someone, and it can cause you to become black and blue at the slightest, and can kill half of your life at the worst.

Of course, this is not a problem at all for comrade Li Weidong, who succeeded entirely through his own efforts.

It took less than five minutes to hear the engine roar.

Niu Meng, who was standing not far away, cheered: "Master is great, come on!"

Niu Yong's expression was calm, with the demeanor of an experienced driver: "Well, my apprentice's performance is not satisfactory."

The livid Lao Zhang stared at him and said, "Isn't he your sister's master? How did he become your apprentice? What is your relationship?"

Niu Yong: "..."

Time was running out, and Li Weidong no longer cared about the vulgar performance outside the factory. He ran to the examiner and reported: "Candidate 0124 requests to get on the bus!"

"Get in the truck!" The examiner took out a small book and started following the truck to record whether it crossed the line or not.

The Zhuang test in the capital was not much different from that of later generations.

There are three projects: inverted piles, side piles, and fixed-point piles. I heard that pile testing in border mountainous areas requires driving trucks on steel pipes.

Since it is so simple, Li Weidong must have passed with full marks.

What surprised him was that Xiao Meng, who had been nervous just now, also got full marks.

After the pile test, you need to wait until all candidates have finished the test before they go to the road test location together.

Li Weidong could only return to the sidelines and continue to enjoy the vulgarity.

Actually, it's quite interesting to see Lao Zhang and Niu Yong, two people in their late fifties, bickering like children.

It took nearly two hours for more than fifty candidates to finish the pile exam, and only eight people passed in the end.

"All candidates who pass the pile exam get on the bus!"

The examiner drove a Gil 150 and parked at the gate.

The candidates swarmed up and climbed into the truck body using their hands and feet.

"Okay, no need to rub, it's my turn!" Li Weidong stood up from the chair and walked out.

Niu Meng slowly retracted her little hand, raised her arm, and said seriously: "Master, come on!"

Niu Yong waved: "Half a big front door!"

Lao Zhang became anxious now and yelled at Xiao Meng: "Meng Wazi, if you dare to lose the chain, you are no match for this raw melon and egg. I will make you sit in the bed of the car all the time after you get out of the car!"

...

Damn it, isn't it just to get a driver's license? Why is it so vulgar?

Fortunately, Niu Yong and his companions were not qualified to go to the road test center, so Li Weidong breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Xiao Meng squatting in the truck bed, he took the initiative to extend his hand, "My name is Li Weidong, from the steel rolling mill."

Xiao Meng is an honest child, and he is not indifferent because he is a competition opponent. He extends his hand enthusiastically: "My name is Meng Chuanjia, from the machinery factory."

Machinery factory? Li Weidong wanted to ask if there was a doctor named Ding Qiunan in the factory.

It's just our first meeting, so I'm embarrassed to act like an LSP.

"Are you from He Nan?"

"Hey, how do you know this? I came from my hometown to climb the mountain. I transferred from the army to the capital and became a worker."

"...You seem to be about the same age as me. Why did you change your career?"

"I am 35 this year and have three children. My mother said that I have a tender face."

"..."

Li Weidong was speechless.

He seemed to be about the same age as me, and already had three children, while he had none.

It seems that after marrying Yu Li home, she must quickly put the birth of a baby on the agenda.

With a "click" of brakes, the truck stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Li Weidong followed the candidates and jumped out of the truck. The examiner pointed to the winding road on the mountain: "Our road test route this time is from here to the top of the mountain."

Since the exam was conducted in order, Li Weidong was ranked fifth, so he, Xiao Meng and the other candidates squatted on the roadside to bask in the sun.

The first candidate to get on the bus was a pretty boy, and his calves were obviously shaking a little when he got on the bus.

Driving these days is all about courage, and the faint of heart may not succeed.

Sure enough, the truck came back within ten minutes.

The young man rolled out of the car and squatted on the side of the road, crying.

No one comforted him.

Letting people with such poor psychological quality become drivers is disrespectful to others and to the country's property.

Xiao Meng was the second person to take the exam. When he got on the bus, he turned back and made a well-known gesture to Li Weidong.

Damn, are you being vulgar again?

Of course Li Weidong couldn't bear it and stretched out his hands to give him two well-known gestures in return.

Twenty minutes later, the truck came back, and Lao Meng jumped out of the truck with cheers.

"Dad, Mom, I got my driver's license!"

He rushed to Li Weidong and saluted him. He was so excited that he even spat out his dialect: "Comrade Li Weidong, thank you. I am nervous every time I take an exam. I have been taking the exam for two years and I failed because of my nervousness."

Pass the exam.

This time, because of my competition with Yu, I felt full of confidence.

A 20-year-old kid dares to take a driver's license test, so what do I, an experienced driver who has been on the road for several years, have to fear?"

Li Weidong's mouth twitched twice.

Thinking of Niu Yong and Lao Zhang's vulgar performance just now, I suddenly realized that I am the villain.

However, the big villain can also counterattack one day, and everything depends on strength.

I've decided on that half a carton of cigarettes.

The two examiners at the back quickly failed, and soon it was Li Weidong's turn to take the exam.

He raised his buttocks and inserted the crank handle into the hole in the front of the car. After a while of violent shaking, the engine roared suddenly.

Get in the car, hold the steering wheel and look straight ahead.

"Comrade Examiner, Candidate 0124 is ready and ready to take off!"

Examiner: "...Do you want me to clear the runway for you?"

...I'm still a little nervous and talk a lot.

"Comrade examiner, candidate 0124 is ready, ready to start!"

"Start!"

Easily release the clutch, ease the accelerator, put down the handbrake, and the truck rushed out like a beast.

Trucks of this era are very different from those of later generations. They are equipped with two clutches and no synchronizers. When changing gears, you need to use one foot to operate both clutches at the same time. At the same time, the braking system is not sensitive. When braking suddenly,

Sometimes you need to use the handbrake.

Of course, this is no problem at all for experienced drivers who have driven trucks 10,000 times.

Seeing that the road test was halfway through, the examiner suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

Li Weidong remained unmoved.
