"Mr. Qin, if you go out to work, you will be bullied if you are honest. However, our brothers are still measured in our attacks. However, the group we met last time went too far and injured a driver of our company first."
Lao Liu said: "That's why I was cruel."
Qin Tao nodded and expressed understanding of his behavior: "We don't bully people, but if we are bullied to the point of being bullied, we have to fight back severely. This is similar to the darts in the past."
"Yes, what you said is so reliable." Ma Laoliu said.
Ancient escorts and modern truck drivers are essentially the same.
Ma Laoliu agreed very much with this metaphor.
Under the butt, the V8 engine is roaring. With the powerful power of 210 horsepower, the car roars and roars, no matter what road section it is, it can run rampant.
"There is a river in front of us. Even though there is no water now, in the summer, the water inside is very deep. Once, a convoy of us passed by, and the car in front was fine. When the car pulling oil behind us crossed the river, the water in the car was very deep.
The empty oil barrels all floated away."
Ma Laoliu pointed to a river bed in front of him and said.
"Isn't there a bridge?"
"There is a bridge, but it requires a detour of more than 100 kilometers. To save trouble, we usually cross the river directly. Of course, if there is a flood, we still have to take a detour."
While he was talking, the car had already descended into the river bed, and the tires made a squeaking sound as they crushed the cobblestones on the river bed.
The car was shaking, and people were shaking with it. The smile on Ma Laoliu's face kept waving.
"Brother Six, the car of the navy comrade behind seems to have failed to catch up." At this moment, a voice came from the intercom.
In this era, if you want to get a mobile phone, it is definitely expensive. However, walkie-talkies are much cheaper. It is also very convenient to use walkie-talkies in a fleet. Therefore, each of these cars of Mingzhou Transportation Company has
Equipped with an intercom for easy communication.
The navy's car was walking behind, but now it's falling behind!
"Attention, drive across the river bed, then stop on the river beach in front and wait for the navy comrades." Ma Laoliu shouted.
They have long been familiar with this road. Even if they fall behind, they will catch up that night. However, the navy transport vehicle behind them does not know it. Could it be that they are taking the wrong route?
A long snake-like convoy drove across the dry river and then stopped on the opposite river beach. Ma Laoliu nimbly climbed onto the roof of the cab and took out a pair of binoculars.
Qin Tao was curious again: "You brought telescopes when you came out?"
"Of course, there are several intersections where dogs are likely to appear. In order to avoid being bitten, we used binoculars to observe in advance." Ma Laoliu said.
Dog? He knew that the team carried dogs, but his own dog would not bite his own people.
Qin Tao was very curious about these terms used by Ma Laoliu. He had never heard of them, but he would know after following this trip.
This time Qin Tao came out. On the one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to visit the 611 Institute. He yearned for this place. At the same time, Qin Tao also wanted to follow the transportation company to see the hardships of the journey. As the group boss, he must be in charge
Only when the operations of these departments are mastered.
"Okay, here they come, they are really slow." Ma Laoliu got out of the car and said to Qin Tao.
Ten Steyr vehicles slowly swayed over. These were the navy's convoy.
The Navy is also very cooperative with this transportation mission. What they sent over is their latest Steyr military vehicle equipped with troops. In this era, Steyr is the trump card.
More than ten years ago, the country decided to introduce a heavy-duty vehicle project. It was originally optimistic about the products of Mercedes-Benz. Who would have thought that Mercedes-Benz was very arrogant and the conditions for its products were very harsh. Therefore, the country could only inspect other European automobile industries.
, and later fell in love with the little-known Steyr truck.
Decades later, Austria's Steyr trucks have been discontinued, but its descendants continue to multiply in the East, spreading their branches and bearing numerous fruits.
In 1984, a domestic factory used imported parts to assemble the first Steyr. In 1989, Huanghe Factory produced the first Steyr that used domestic parts in large quantities.
Now, those cars are driving slowly, giving people a strange feeling.
Finally, the cars roared onto the river beach and merged with the transportation company's convoy. Qin Tao, Ma Laoliu and others walked over and asked each other: "What's going on?"
On the first Steyr military vehicle, Li Yong, commander of a navy transport company in charge of this mission, said: "I don't know why, our engine is supposed to be powerful, but it just can't be refueled and the speed can't be increased."
Since they received this batch of Steyr, they have been taking on the main transportation tasks, and the vehicles have been able to perform their tasks well every time. Now, who would have thought that the vehicle would actually break down!
"Yes, ours is a turbocharged engine that can output 260 horsepower. Your Kamaz only has a little over 200 horsepower! Why can't we catch up with you?" The driver jumped out and walked around the car.
Check.
When Steyr was imported, it had different configurations and different powers.
The basic version is WD615.00, which is a naturally aspirated engine. It outputs 200 horsepower at 2,000 rpm and more than 600 Nm of torque at 1,400 rpm. Although it is not the same as those heavy trucks of later generations.
In comparison, but in this era, it is already quite powerful.
The most powerful model is the model code-named WD615.61, which uses a turbocharger and increases the power from 200 horsepower to 260 horsepower. It can output 829 Nm of torque at 1600 rpm. This data is better than Kamaz.
The V8 engine on the car is much more powerful, but as a result, it can't outrun the Kamaz?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They were a little annoyed. Could it be that there was something wrong with the car?
Ma Laoliu stretched out his hand to say hello to the person behind him: "Old Wang, come and take a look!"
They often form a convoy of hundreds of vehicles and set off. Of course, they must bring enough equipment, whether it is fuel or spare parts, and there are also specialized car repairmen following them. Lao Wang is the most skilled veteran in their convoy this time.
master.
Lao Wang walked around the car and then looked at one place: "Remove the air filter, it's probably blocked."
"Is it blocked? Impossible, we checked it before setting off in the morning!"
Although the driver said it was impossible, his hands moved involuntarily, and he opened a few clips and pulled out the lower part of the air filter. Then, his expression changed drastically.
I originally took care of myself in the morning, but now it looks like this?
The paper filter layer has been tightly blocked by yellow soil. If you wipe it with your hand, you can remove a layer. In this case, the air filter has lost its original function, and the engine is basically running dry.
Without enough fresh air, the power will of course be severely reduced.
No wonder just now, when I stepped on the accelerator, black smoke came out. There was insufficient air, and combustion was certainly insufficient. Why didn't I think of such a simple problem?
However, why do we not encounter this situation when transporting supplies near the base? And, how to solve this?
"If an ordinary car only runs around Mingzhou, it is no problem to use this kind of paper filter element. After all, the air there is humid and there is less dust. However, when we go west and reach the inland, the air is dry.
Keep taking shortcuts, which are all dirt roads, and the dust along the way will soon clog this paper filter element." Lao Wang explained.
"So that's it, what should we do?"
"Our cars use desert filters made of steel wire. Even so, we still need to clean them every two days." Lao Wang said: "We still have a certain amount of stock in our cars. Look at the size of the shell.
, install it for you and try it out. Xiao Liu, bring our desert filter over here!"
Soon, a cylindrical desert filter element was moved and stuffed in. It was about the same size. It was reinstalled and the vehicle was started again. Sure enough, the black smoke that had just been emitted was gone.
"Great, the fault has been resolved. Thank you. By the way, what should I do if it gets dirty?"
"We have removed a special air pipe from our car. If it is dirty, just use the car's compressed air to blow it." Lao Wang said: "Now that it can be used, other cars will also replace it with our desert filter elements.
."
"This Lao Wang's skills are pretty good." Qin Tao said to Ma Lao Liu, "I haven't seen him before?"
"That's right, this Lao Wang was hired by me from the Huanghe Factory. I offered him three times the salary. Lao Wang took over his wife and children at home. He is working very hard in our company. He especially likes to come out. He also
I can get an extra business trip subsidy.”
In the 1990s, everyone's minds have become flexible and they will not stick to a certain factory and go wherever there is more money.
"Well, yes, such a skilled master should receive a high salary." Qin Tao said: "Without him, our trip would have been delayed for a long time. Now, let's go!"
The convoy continued to move forward, and when it came to night, Ma Laoliu looked ugly and cursed, "Son of Sera, what kind of beast without eyes did this?"
On the road ahead, several large rocks appeared, blocking the road tightly. Needless to say, this is a common tactic used by car gangsters and road bullies.
At this time, Ma Laoliu did not get out of the car. He just exposed his head outside and shouted loudly to the haystacks on the roadside: "Get out of here quickly and move it out of the way for Mr. Liu. If you annoy Mr. Liu, I will
Your village has been leveled!"
At this time, Ma Laoliu was completely different from his usual pleasant appearance. He had a ruthless look on his face and murderous words in his words.
Then, several figures appeared in the grass on the roadside.
"Sixth Master, don't be angry. Brothers don't know you are here. Brothers, move now, move now."
"Be more sensible next time!"
"Yes Yes."
So, the stones on the roadside were moved away, and the convoy continued to move forward, one vehicle after another.
"Mr. Qin, didn't I scare you just now?" Ma Laoliu said: "It's better not to be ruthless when you go out. If someone is unfamiliar with this road, you have to give them at least ten yuan for tolls. Hum,
These people are quite relaxed, sitting and collecting money."
"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, leave money to buy the road." Qin Tao said.
"Yes, there really was a coward who shouted like this when we were blocking the road. My driver at that time stepped on the accelerator and passed by, and that coward ran away while crawling on the ground." Ma Laoliu said.
Come on, that's funny.
Generally, those who work in this business will build some rocks and block the road. In this way, when the car comes, they can only stop and remove the rocks. In this way, people on the roadside will swarm up and do what they want.
things.
As for those who hold an ax and stop on the road to shout, there are very few of them. Do you really think you are a black whirlwind?
"You spent a lot of energy on taking this road in the first place," Qin Tao said.
"Mr. Qin, if you hand over the company to our brothers, we will develop the company. We still have so many cars, and the Mingzhou market cannot accommodate us. We will have to run long distances and make a lot of money until this year.
When we report at the end of the year, our company's profits will definitely surprise you," Ma Laoliu said.
Qin Tao nodded. He knew that he was right about these people. They were all his most loyal subordinates.
"However, as the country develops and society progresses, there will be fewer and fewer bad things like this on the road. When the expressway is built in the future, it will be more convenient for us." Qin Tao said.
"Yes, our country is getting better and better. By the way, let's drive a little further. There is a large open space in front of us. Let's rest there."
"What? Don't you want to stay in a hotel?"
"Unless we go to a hotel in the city, the hotel conditions outside here are so bad. Every time we stay in a hotel, we get lice all over our bodies. So now, we prefer to stay in the Kamaz Hotel."
Kamaz Hotel?
Later generations of trucks were all high-roofed with double sleepers, with bunks and bunks behind the driver's seat that could sleep two people. However, most of Lao Maozi's Kamaz were day cabs and had no sleepers at all. Why?
rest?
Driving to a large open space, cars were lined up neatly. Then, everyone got ready to sleep. Although the two seats were separated, they removed the backrest of the passenger seat and placed it in the middle.
, forming a long sleeper.
"Mr. Qin, just make do with it. Sleep here, covered with this military coat, leaving a slight gap in the glass." Ma Laoliu said, opened the car door, and was about to get out.
"Where do you sleep?"
"Of course we'll sleep in the back. Our car is full of clothes. It's very comfortable to lie in." Liu Dajun said, got out of the car, closed the door, and then shouted: "Where are the dogs? Take the dogs down."
,Activity activities.”
Then, the barking of dogs sounded.
Li Yong looked at all this with some surprise. They were automobile soldiers and had traveled extensively before, but they had never made it this far, bringing dogs with them!
Not every car has a dog, there are only five or six dogs in total, but with these dogs guarding the convoy, you won't have to worry about anyone stealing anything.
The Steyr has a night cab with a sleeper at the back, but it is very narrow and can only sleep one person.
The driver wanted to have a good rest and not interfere with driving the next day, so he had to sleep in a sleeper berth. The remaining soldiers following the car originally planned to find a place to sleep, but were soon called by Ma Laoliu to the cargo box of the car where the clothes were being pulled.
, covered with a cotton coat, took a good nap.
The next day, after brushing your teeth and washing your face, eating some dry food you brought, the team continued on the road.
"In the future, our cars will have to have sleeper berths." Qin Tao said, "In this way, there will be two drivers in one car, one driving and one sleeping, and the transportation efficiency will be higher."
"Yes, but the sleeper berths of domestically produced cars are too narrow. Looking at their Steyrs, it makes sleeping uncomfortable. Therefore, our transportation company will persist for another year or two. When funds are sufficient, we will directly purchase Mercedes-Benz trucks." Mr. Ma
Six said.
Qin Tao nodded. He would not interfere with the transportation company's affairs, leaving it to Ma Laoliu and the others. However, Ma Laoliu was really bold when he wanted to buy a Mercedes-Benz, which was a high-end truck.
At noon that day, the motorcade drove onto the national highway. Not long after driving, Ma Laoliu raised his telescope while driving, glanced at the intersection in the distance, and then picked up the walkie-talkie: "Be careful of dogs, let's stop first."
"
Have a dog?
Although Qin Tao didn't have a telescope, he could still see clearly. There was a three-wheeled motorcycle with flashing lights at the intersection in the distance. It should be...
"I was bitten in the past. It cost at least ten yuan." Ma Laoliu said, "With these ten yuan, we can go to a restaurant." Ma Laoliu said and had already parked the car.
"There is nothing wrong with the car?"
"People can always find problems. The lights don't come on, the turn signals don't come on, and people try the handbrake. Last time I passed this intersection, they messed with an old Jiefang. They insisted on hitting the accelerator to try the handbrake, and the car ended up...
Come on, let’s go down to eat. By the time we finish eating, it’s time for these people to get off work.”
The drivers locked their cars, got out of the car, chatting and laughing, and entered a roadside restaurant. They had to have a full meal, and they didn't know when the next meal would be.
After dinner, there was really no one watching in front, so the convoy continued to move forward.
"We had no experience at first, so the profit from our business was not very high. Now that we have experience, what we save is what we earn," Ma Laoliu said.
"If you want to be rich, you must first build roads." Qin Tao also sighed with emotion. Along the way, he saw too much.
Finally, the convoy arrived in the mountainous areas of the Land of Abundance.
"The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky." Qin Tao looked at the majestic mountains and couldn't help but said. At this time, their car was traveling through the mountains, with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other. If it were a plain
The driver on the bus would probably feel scared when he came to a place like this for the first time.
Ma Laoliu drove the car and crawled skillfully on the winding mountain road, talking to Qin Tao from time to time.
"When we first came here, some of our drivers were afraid to drive. Later, I said, if you drive up, you can get a subsidy of ten yuan. So, everyone started driving up, and it was easy to get used to it. Now, everyone is driving.
There’s nothing to worry about on this kind of road. It’s easy to go uphill, but the key is the downhill. Once you’ve climbed this mountain, you have to be extra careful when you get to the downhill section over there.”
It is easy to go up a mountain but difficult to go down a mountain. This is true whether you are walking or driving. The test of a car going uphill is the power, while the test of the car going downhill is the brakes. The brakes fail and fall into the ditch. This happens many times every year.
"There are a lot of car parts in the ravine over there. We said last time that if the car breaks down, just go down and find the parts." Ma Laoliu said with a smile: "But Mr. Qin, don't worry, our Kama
Now, there will definitely be no problem."
Ma Laoliu is confident in his car.
Qin Tao nodded: "Well, can you stop dancing when you are talking? Don't take your hands off the steering wheel!"
The V8 engine under the butt was still roaring. Just when the car had just climbed to the top of the winding mountain road, a group of people appeared there, each of them holding something bright in their hands, which was very dazzling in the sun.
Ma Laoliu's expression changed.
"Sixth Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that you would dare to come here!" The leader opposite had gauze wrapped around his head and a cigarette in his mouth. His tone of voice was full of the pleasure of revenge.
"Sanbanglou (nickname transliteration), you guys had your heads smashed last time, why are you still not convinced?" Ma Laoliu got out of the car and picked up a crowbar in his hand.
There is no way around this road, it is the only way, so he always tolerated everything in the past, but unfortunately the three gangs were too greedy, so in the end they could only have a fight, and the relationship ended like this. He originally thought that these people would be beaten
I was scared. Who would have thought that more people would gather and bring those shiny things with them? Did you think that you would be scared because of this?
Qin Tao also got out of the car, his expression ugly.
"Hey, there's another guy in a suit, and he's bringing a big brother with him. Brothers, we're going to get rich this time!"
"If you come out and do bad things in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of being punished by the law?" Qin Tao said.
"Haha, law, let me tell you, here, I am the law. Also, don't think that we are afraid just because we are holding that broken brick. Let me tell you, there is no signal here!"
Sanbanglou was holding a cigarette in his left hand and the shiny object in his right hand. At this time, he looked fierce.
"Mr. Qin, go to the back and take charge of the overall situation. Let the brothers handle this kind of thing first," Ma Laoliu said.
Although the guy in the opponent's hand is sharp, Ma Laoliu is not afraid because the guy in his hand is longer!
"You guys, it's best to get out of the way immediately. I won't hold you accountable. Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your life in prison!" Qin Tao continued.
"Haha, brothers, did you hear that? What is he saying?"
Everyone laughed.
The Third Ganglou continued to speak: "We are not scared. We have been in the house more than once! Brothers, give me..."
At this point, he suddenly stopped.
Then, with a bang, the bright object in Sanbanglou's hand fell to the ground.
What did he see?
A group of people in military uniforms were jumping out from the back of the truck, each of them holding a fire stick (nickname) in their hands!
They usually just fight and block roads to collect fees. How have you ever seen such a fight?
