Cassia jumped off the locomotive and found Puno waving to him in the distance with cleaning tools. He must have heard the sound of hitting the steel plate with a stone just now, Cassia thought.
"What happened?" Puno came over and asked, his eyes also on the fronts of the cars in front of him, "They are all scrap metal. Apart from turning into a pile of rust, there seems to be no other result."<
/p>
"Maybe that's it." Cassia said back to Puno, who was standing next to him. "This locomotive is completely scrapped, and most of the useful things have been dismantled by the army. I don't know what's in the other locomotives."
What's going on? I hope they won't all be the same." If so, he could only carry his luggage along the railway line and rush to the battle line on two legs. It must be possible to get there, it's just a matter of experience on the way.
It will only take more time.
"I want to use the tools here. If there are still usable parts in these locomotives, I also want to move them and reassemble a locomotive." Cassia asked Puno, "I have learned a little bit about the basics of machinery before. Simple
The structure is still very easy to use.”
Puno probably just thought that Cassia had nothing to do when she stayed here, and simply didn’t want to be idle: "There is no problem. It is rare for there to be any problems at this station. Even if there are, it is always done by people from the army.
.The tools are very complete and were left behind by the army when they came here. It doesn’t matter if they are broken, they won’t care about these things.”
There is a room that serves as a tool room, right at the end of a row of houses. It smells like lubricating oil. The tools are all coated with a layer of oil to prevent rust and are well maintained. This is what Puno can do at this station.
There are not many things left.
There was also a welding and cutting machine inside, and several cans of fuel were put in steel cans and placed there, which was exactly what Cassia wanted to see. Without moving all these things out, he first went to check the conditions of the other heads of the car.
.To recreate a complete and operational steam turbine, not only are the various tools and materials insufficient, Cassia currently does not have such strength.
I have seen many kinds of drive structure diagrams in books. They were all the key content in school exams. If you have paper and pen in hand, Cassia can even draw the entire rough drawing now. But if you know and can do
It's too far apart.
The situation is similar for several other locomotives. Most of the usable things have been dismantled, and the rest are nothing more than copper pipes and valves. The steam hoses are almost all damaged, which cannot be used for a long time. The final results were all disappointing. The army seemed to be in short supply of these things. Any parts of any value had been cut off, and all that was left was just a pile of useless steel blocks. I had a burning desire to recreate them.
A locomotive that could run on steam came, and he was very interested in these things. But under the unsatisfactory power structure, his hot mood quickly cooled down.
In the end, he could only drag out the welding and cutting machine, and Cassia began to cut the parts that he could use, including several pairs of smaller steel wheels and bearings that looked newer. A steel plate with an area that could accommodate his luggage was taken out directly.
The armored steel plate on the locomotive was used. First, cut off a piece as a whole. Because of the ceramic piece in the middle, the two incompletely bonded steel plates could be easily separated without spending much time. Among them, the work Cassia needed to do was:
All you have to do is hit them hard with big rocks.
When Puno heard the loud noise and rushed over again, the weed pile was already full of scattered things. Cassia was still using a cutting machine to cut what he wanted from the locomotive.
It is also the most important core component in the backup plan. It is a shaft with enough shape and strength to be used for many years, and is used to convert the power transmission method.
"Is there something urgent that we need to rush over?" Puno came over and asked.
Cassia had just finished cutting the shaft, and it fell heavily on the rails with a "bang". At this time, Puno walked over and dragged the dozens of kilograms out from under the train.
"Thank you." Cassia turned off the cutting machine and jumped off the front of the car. "It's not an urgent matter, but I can't stay here and wait for the rearrangements and troops who don't know when they will come, so I still have to do it myself.
Find something you can do."
"Let me help you. I have seen the human-powered railcar many times and I remember the general structure. I can help you a little." Puno said. When he saw the axle piece he had dragged out, he already knew what Cassia wanted.
"Something is coming," but to talk about something bad, I don't know exactly what the situation is at the front, although I have been there several times before. But maybe I am really afraid of the impact on our lives there.
From here to the front line, the isolated area in the middle is really big, not in a symbolic sense. You have to take the army train to go there, but it takes half a day each time. The speed of those trains is not as fast as the high-speed train, but it is still
It won’t fall much. If you rely on manpower, no matter how much you reduce the weight, there will be no advantage in speed or physical strength. It will take a very long time to get there.”
Cassia grinned and said it was okay. Of course Puno didn't know about the surgery. From an ordinary person's point of view, the facts are exactly as he said. Physical strength and speed do not have any advantage. And we still have to go deeper.
Railway lines in mountainous areas, perhaps because of the battle lines, have to make several circles in some places.
But in terms of physical strength, Cassia is not worried, and the speed can be solved well due to the strength of the surgeon. But I can't tell Puno this, I can only replace all words with "It doesn't matter".
After the parts were prepared, the subsequent assembly was relatively simple. Both of them understood the mechanical principle and structure, but it still took a lot of extra effort to actually implement it. The connecting parts were directly welded, without any carelessness or loss.
The way it works is completely appropriate in terms of strength. Cassia believes that as long as he controls the power carefully, there will be no problems halfway. The total area of these steel components is only three or four square meters. Compared with the locomotive next to him,
There is no point in competing with each other.
It was roughly completed in the afternoon, which took longer than Cassia imagined. After that, there were some simple optimization and trial operation work. Lubricating oil, the structure for fixing luggage, strength inspection of welded parts, small iron shelves for placing lamps, and the entire
To reduce the weight of human-powered railcars, where high strength is not required, the steel plates are cut off and replaced with wooden boards. On the basis of not destroying the complete structure, the steel plates can be drilled or cut into pieces according to the distance.
