The train driver in the courtyard

The first thing Xing Duanchang showed was a big jeep. If this happened in later times, he would be considered the big brother of the live broadcast room.

It’s a pity that our Li Aiguo is not an Internet celebrity.

"Duanzhang, what's wrong with this car?"

Seeing that Li Aiguo was still so cautious, Section Chief Xing smiled and explained, "Recently, our Qianmen Locomotive Depot has performed well, and several jeeps have been dispatched here.

This car used to run in the workshop, but now it has been phased out and is used as a special car for the consultants of the new small group."

Li Aiguo's mind was full of questions: "I'm not a consultant for any small group!"

Xing Duanzhang blinked his eyes and said, "If you agree, then it will be fine."

Li Aiguo finally understood.

Director Xing Duan will not do anything without profit, so he must be planning something evil.

"What's up with this new little group?"

"Come to my office and let's talk about this in detail. If this is done, the families of our locomotive depot employees will be able to eat state-funded food."

Duanchang Xing pulled Li Aiguo into his office, poured him some tea, and started chatting with him.

This matter is actually related to the diapers that Li Aiguo had invented before.

After the production of diapers began, due to the scarcity of raw materials, Qianmen Locomotive Depot only treated diapers as a sideline business, and the annual output was less than 100,000 pairs.

A while ago, Russian astronaut Gagarin accepted an exclusive interview with the international media and praised diapers for providing him with great help.

This is definitely a celebrity endorsement.

The reputation of diapers spread all of a sudden.

Since adults can use it, what about children?

Rich dog owners in Europe and America instantly realized the benefits of this thing, and a diaper craze swept the upper class.

Whoever can afford and buy diapers has connections.

The limited diapers were bought at high prices by the Russians and Eastern European brothers, and resold to Europe and the United States at sky-high prices.

After learning about this situation, comrades in foreign trade suggested to the Ministry of First Machine Building that it should speed up the expansion of diaper production in the spirit of keeping the wealth within the family.

Section Chief Xing of the Qianmen Locomotive Section was a cunning guy. He immediately set his eyes on this big piece of fat meat and also signed up to build a new small collective factory to specialize in the production of diapers.

"These diapers are consumables with huge sales. If we were to produce them, wouldn't our employees' families all be able to find jobs?"

"The First Ministry of Machine Building held a meeting to discuss this matter a while ago. Some people are just sick in the brain." When Director Xing mentioned the previous meeting, he actually gasped.

When Li Aiguo heard this, he asked curiously, "What made you so angry?"

"Diapers are related to the export mission. The First Ministry of Machine Building attaches great importance to it. They specially summoned leaders of light factories from all over the country to hold a meeting and asked them to offer suggestions. We also proposed a plan for small-scale collective production."

"Those guys think our small collective factories are just makeshift stalls that are not up to par. They see how advanced and powerful the large factories are abroad."

"They don't know that we can even produce Red Star computers."

"In the meeting, they boasted about how great and well-educated other families were. They never offered any opinions and just belittled them."

"The funds for these guys to go out for investigation are the foreign exchange we earn."

After Li Aiguo figured out the whole story, he almost laughed.

Although there is no diplomatic relationship between China and the outside world at present, there is still a certain degree of business exchanges.

In order to learn advanced foreign technology, we often spend a lot of money to send people abroad for inspection.

The purpose of the inspection is to learn, not to let you see the colorful world and then come back to complain about your family’s poverty.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Some people don't feel comfortable standing and always like to kneel down." Li Aiguo is no longer surprised.

Even in our previous lives, when we had already stood at the top of the world and had become the strong big tyrant rabbit, there were still many people who mindlessly praised foreign countries.

Take Sandezi’s “Spare Parts Warehouse” for example, which has been hyped up by countless self-media for so many years.

In fact, if you don’t think about it carefully, if your Mercedes-Benz breaks down, Sandizi won’t even give you an oil-paper bag.

The leader of Xiaomei's family caused a nationwide power outage to save the little sparrow?
So everyone in Xiaomei's family is a superhero, and the Big White House has become the "Animal Protection Association"?
Even the toilet water we use every day can be drunk.

If you don’t know, you might think that he only drinks toilet water every day.

One ridiculous scene after another, when strung together, becomes a large-scale talk show - even more exciting than a satire.

In short, why are we bad at nothing, while others are excellent at everything!
"At that time, I wanted to rush up and beat them up, but I didn't think they would have a good ending. I saw the faces of the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building turned black." Director Xing took a few sips of tea before he recovered.

"We should learn from foreign good things with an open mind, instead of blindly belittling our own. It seems that they spent so much money on overseas inspections just to come back and show off their superiority!"

Li Aiguo nodded: "That's good. These people jumped out on their own. We just need to have less dealings with them in the future."

"What a pity about the funds. It is said that more than 20,000 US dollars were spent this time, all of which were earned from bags of instant noodles from abroad." Director Xing was a straightforward person. Although he understood this, he still felt very angry.

"The leaders in the ministry can distinguish between well-intentioned suggestions and reminders and abuse of their own people. What we need to do is work hard to catch up with and surpass foreign countries as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Director Xing finally came to his senses.

"Come on, let's go for a walk around the Ministry of First Machine Building and get the project in hand as soon as possible." Section Chief Xing was a little impatient and was about to go out, pulling Li Aiguo's hand.

Li Aiguo now has his own private car, so of course he should drive himself.

But this time the jeep was sent to the maintenance workshop for maintenance and repair, so he took the section chief's special car.

The leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building were having a dilemma about which factory to entrust the production of diapers to.

The production process of diapers is far superior to that of ordinary commodities. They are exported products, so if there are quality problems, it will be a big trouble.

For this purpose, the department specially organized a group of people to go abroad for inspection. As a result, not only did they fail to learn any useful technology, but they also caused a lot of trouble.

When the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building saw Director Xing and Li Aiguo appear, their eyes lit up.

"Yes, the small collective factory of Qianmen Locomotive Depot has produced products for export before, and now Li Aiguo is in charge. It will be a good idea to hand the project over to them."

The leader immediately approved the plan and handed over the production of diapers to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

Considering that the new small collective factory would also produce sanitary napkins, shampoo and other products in the future, when the leaders asked for the factory name, Li Aiguo gave a suggestion: "I think our new factory should be called Red Star Daily Chemicals."

"Daily chemical?"

Li Aiguo thought that cosmetics were not serious these days, so he explained, "It means daily necessities and chemical products."

"Yeah, these diapers are daily necessities and also chemical products. Daily chemicals are good, daily chemicals are good."

The leader made the final decision. The department provided financial and technical support, and the Qianmen Locomotive Depot contributed manpower and resources to utilize several of the original workshops to produce diapers first.

We will move into the new factory building after the construction of the new factory building near Xizhimen is completed.

"Aiguo, thank you for following me for so long. You haven't gone home yet, have you? Please wait a moment."

After returning to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, Section Chief Xing suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked outside. When he came back, he came in with a large bag in his hand.

"Patriotic, a while ago, a comrade from our section who was supporting the Chengdu-Kunming Railway came back and brought back some local specialties."

When Li Aiguo heard this, he immediately perked up and opened the bag.

"What is this?" Li Aiguo picked up a glass bottle containing red liquid that looked a bit creepy.

"This is deer blood, obtained from the mountains." Director Xing Duan replied.

Li Aiguo has gnawed bear paws and eaten tiger penis, but he has never drunk deer blood. This is really something interesting.

"This is wild ginseng, the kind that is at least two hundred years old."

There were more than a dozen wild ginsengs in the bag. If they didn't all look like real wild ginsengs, Li Aiguo would have thought that Qianmen Locomotive Depot had started a ginseng planting business.

"Thank you, Chief." Li Aiguo understood Chief Xing's good intentions and stood up to express his gratitude.

"You are busy with work, so you should catch up on some nutrition. I'll be watching over you these days, so you should take more rest." Director Xing now looked at Li Aiguo as if he had seen a great treasure.

Nothing can go wrong with this big baby.

"You haven't received your welfare supplies for several months. Go to the supplies department to collect them later."

"Thank you, Chief."

Facing the enthusiastic section chief, what could Li Aiguo say? Of course, he turned himself into a thank-you group and accepted everything after repeated thanks.

Carrying large and small bags, Li Aiguo left the section chief's office and went to the materials department to collect a few large and small bags. He carried the bags in his hands and on his shoulders and came to the maintenance workshop.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng was still squatting at the door of the workshop.

"How's the jeep, is it fixed?"

"Director Zhang and the others are busy. Brother Aiguo, I'll help you."

Yan Jiecheng took the things from Li Aiguo's hands, and Li Aiguo entered the maintenance workshop.

I have to say that the workmanship of the maintenance workshop is quite good. In just a few hours, the Jeep has undergone a huge transformation.

The outside was sprayed with dark green paint, the wooden handle of the rearview mirror was replaced with a steel pipe, and the cuts on the front windshield were covered with tape. Well, it's much safer than before.

Several workers were squatting on the ground disassembling parts.

"This thing is probably older than you. We don't have that many spare parts here, so we can only make do with it." Director Zhang said with a smile after tying the exhaust pipe to the beam with wire.

Li Aiguo looked at the wire and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

Director Zhang was used to it. He took the enamel pot from the young worker, drank a sip of water and said, "Aiguo, if you want to drive, you must first learn to repair a car. Uh, I know you can repair a steam engine, but that thing is different from a car.

Patriotic comrade, do you want to learn how to repair cars? "

"I want to." Li Aiguo nodded honestly, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over: "Director Zhang, can you repair cars?"

Director Zhang took the cigarette with a look of contempt, saying, "Back then, our locomotive section was clean and honest. The jeeps allocated to us were all big shots. If it weren't for me serving them, our section chief would have to ride his bicycle to attend meetings in the department."

"Hey, thanks to you seniors, our locomotive depot has been getting better and better over the years."

Director Zhang liked to hear this and became even more interested. He didn't even bother to smoke, stood up, pulled the workers aside, and started to explain while dismantling the car.

"Look, this is the engine. This thing is made of..."

"The first time I came into contact with an engine was before liberation. It was an American product that I got from the transport captain."

"No one dared to touch it at that time, fearing that it might be damaged. I was brave enough to open it directly."

"After the car was repaired, the chief praised me."

"A car is like a woman. You have to take good care of it so that it can take you around."

Environment always changes people.

Even a technician like Director Zhang would develop the habit of telling dirty jokes in a place like the maintenance depot where relationships between men and women are not taken seriously.

Li Aiguo listened and helped at the same time.

The vehicle technology at that time was not as complicated as that of later generations. It emphasized being sturdy and durable. I actually understood most of the content.

The current domestic automobile industry is relatively backward.

FAW and Jiefang Factory mainly produce trucks.

BAIC has not yet developed a jeep, but because of the intervention of the railway department, it has obtained the production drawings of the Quebel truck and is producing trucks for plateaus. However, no company can produce an off-road jeep.

The jeeps in our country are either given to us by kind-hearted people on the battlefield, or they are GAZ jeeps imported from Big Brother.

A while ago, Li Aiguo heard that Big Brother had cut off the export of GAZ jeeps.

The country is in a state where no one has bought a car.

"The cylinder block is too badly worn out and is not worth repairing. Be patriotic and just keep driving it as it is." Director Zhang disassembled the engine, took a look at it, and shook his head helplessly.

"What about changing the cylinder?" Li Aiguo asked.

"It can't be replaced because there are no spare parts. We don't have a production line in our country unless..." Director Zhang seemed to remember something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

"Unless what?"

"Unless you get the blueprints, use our casting equipment to make a large one, then put it on a lathe, and then find a group of masters to polish the cylinder block by hand, it's not cost-effective."

Li Aiguo nodded. Although the maintenance workshop had various equipment, it was not appropriate to make such a big fuss just to repair a car.

But what if it’s not just one car, but thousands of cars?
It was almost evening now.

Director Zhang saw that Li Aiguo had mastered the basic car repair skills, wiped his hands and said, "That's it. If you really encounter a problem that can't be repaired."

"What's wrong?"

"You can go back to the section and I'll send a truck to bring it back for you."

Is this an early model for vehicle rescue work?
Well, let's leave it open for now, and I'll find a way to clean it up myself later.

Li Aiguo thanked Director Zhang and got into the car to try it out.

The jeep started up.

"Well, it's really not a poke, this is a good thing."

In this age of bicycle scarcity, we can't ask for too much.

Before leaving, Director Zhang also gave him a full set of car repair tools, which Li Ai placed in the trunk.

"Goodbye, Old Zhang."

Li Aiguo put the car in reverse gear, left the maintenance workshop, and was about to return to the courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng pulled the car door and came forward: "Brother Aiguo, I'm off work now, please give me a ride."

"Okay." Li Aiguo looked at the suspected dashboard and nodded in agreement.

Yan Jiecheng got in the car, Li Aiguo stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep spewed black smoke out of the Qianmen Locomotive Depot and sped along the street.

"It feels really good to ride in a car." Yan Jiecheng put his hands on the car window, looking relaxed and contented.

The jeep sped along the street, and the envious looks from passers-by made Yan Jiecheng feel that he had reached the peak of his life.

"It would be great if Yu Li was here, she would definitely give me a thumbs up"

"Liu Guangqi is still on the construction site, that guy would be jealous of me if he knew about this."

Suddenly, there was a click.

The jeep stalled, Li Aiguo turned the steering wheel and parked it on the side of the road.

"Brother Aiguo, what's going on?" Yan Jiecheng sat up straight with a confused look on his face.

Li Aiguo turned the key a few more times, and the jeep made a "horrifying" sound and shook violently for a while, but it would not start.

"Maybe it's broken."

After getting off the jeep, opening the hood and checking, Li Aiguo found the fault point.

"There's a problem with the battery. Now we need someone to push from behind and put the Jeep into gear to restart it."

Li Aiguo raised his head and looked at Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng: "."

five minutes later.

Under the bright sunshine, residents of Beijing enjoyed a rare and wonderful sight.

A young man was pushing the cart with his butt sticking out, and from time to time he shouted to the front: "Is it ready?"

From the cab in front came an urging voice: "Faster, faster."

The young man stuck his butt out and tried harder.

"I've only seen donkeys pulling jeeps, but this is the first time I've seen people pushing a jeep."

"You don't understand. There must be something wrong with the battery of this car. It's starting."

"Uh uh. That guy at the back is having a hard time."

At this moment, Yan Jiecheng felt like he was enjoying a day of shopping.

I originally wanted to hitchhike and save the cost of wearing out the soles of my shoes.

Now, I’m so tired that I have to eat at least half an extra steamed bun at night.

It’s a big loss, a big loss.

"How's the speed?"

"Chug tug tug."

Seeing that the jeep was speeding up, Li Aiguo decisively stepped on the clutch and shifted into first gear.

The engine engaged the gear and started to spin rapidly under the drive of the gear.

"It's done!"

Only one person is needed to push the cart, which saves a truck trip.

Well, this is the correct way to open vehicle rescue.

Li Aiguo did not turn off the engine, but put the car in first gear. After Yan Jiecheng got in, he changed gears and stepped on the accelerator. The jeep roared towards the courtyard.

A group of old ladies and young wives were chatting at the door. They were used to seeing Li Aiguo coming back in a jeep.

Jia Dongxu curled his lips and whispered, "Li Aiguo's car is getting worse and worse. Did he make a mistake?"

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng shouted, "Jia Dongxu, shut up. What do you know? This is the special car assigned to Aiguo by the section."

Being able to borrow a vehicle is very different from having one.

Take the steel rolling mill for example. If an old master like Yi Zhonghai encounters an emergency, he can also apply to borrow a vehicle.

But now only Director Yang and Deputy Director Li Huaide have their own private cars.

Jia Dongxu's face suddenly turned red and he couldn't utter a word.

Qin Huairu held Xiaodang in her arms, staring at the jeep.

It has only been a few years, and Li Aiguo actually has his own private car. If she had persisted for two more years, wouldn't she be able to take a car whenever she wants now?

Look at Jia Dongxu again, he is still just a small worker now.

Qin Huairu was absolutely sure that she regretted it.

Li Aiguo carried the things back home. Chen Xueru had not come back yet, so he put the things at home, drank some water and took a rest.

Xu Damao came in with a sneaky look on his face: "Brother Aiguo, if I had known you would come back today, I would have saved the old hen I got from the countryside for you."

"Brother Damao, come in quickly."

Li Aiguo had just let Xu Damao into the house when Liu Haizhong knocked on the door and came in.

"I'm back to love my country. What a coincidence! I just bought an old hen from the countryside. Let's have a good meal tonight."

"I feel embarrassed." Li Aiguo felt a little strange. Why was Liu Haizhong becoming more and more enthusiastic?

"Oh, they are all neighbors, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. I will ask your second aunt to stew the old hen now."

Liu Haizhong was about to go out while talking. As soon as he stepped out, he turned back and looked at Xu Damao: "Da Mao, come over here too."

Xu Damao seemed very calm and nodded, saying, "Okay, I have some wild mushrooms at home, I will send them to you soon."

The two left together. Li Aiguo was a little surprised. How come the relationship between these two people has become so good now?

But Li Aiguo didn't have the time to take care of this matter.

He didn't feel that way when he was driving the company car before, but now that he's driving his own car, Li Aiguo always feels that this thing is too difficult to drive.

Not to mention anything else, if you give up on this thing every other day, it will definitely delay things.

If it can be improved, it will be easier for us to use the car.

Thinking about it, Li Aiguo opened the system panel.

Steam engine driving: 100;

Cooking: 95;

Cycling: 95;

Geological exploration technology: 20;

Criminal Investigation Technology: 61;

EMU assembly body technology: 30;

Hand rub nuke: 0;

Lithography machine manufacturing: 0;

Sow postpartum care: 0;

High-speed rail manufacturing technology: 0;
Current remaining skill points: 3500;

Li Aiguo operated the system panel within the system and searched for relevant technologies for car manufacturing in the system.

Proficient in mechanical design technology?
Good boy, I am already at the master level, so I can save these points.

Li Aiguo felt ecstatic.

Although there are plenty of skill points now, it is still an old saying that we should have a wide range of skills but use them sparingly.

Li Aiguo operated the system panel and searched for car manufacturing drawings in the system.

Swish, swish, swish, drawings appeared in front of me.

Lamborghini Diablo GT2——the representative of Italian supercars.

Ferrari 250 GTO - a track legend.

Looking up at U9 - four-motor technology and turning on the spot.

Jaguar E-Type - the most elegant car ever made.

These cars are indeed classics, the only problem is that they are not practical.

What we need now is a tough and durable car.

First solve the process from nothing to something, and then climb to the top.

As for new energy vehicles, Li Aiguo has completely excluded them from consideration.

In fact, new energy vehicles were born earlier than fuel vehicles, but they have failed to grow and develop for a long time. There are historical reasons behind this.

Li Aiguo had previously thought about designing new energy vehicles, but he quickly rejected the idea.

On the one hand, the current production technology threshold for new energy vehicles is extremely high.

The battery energy storage technology and motor drive performance of this year have not reached the industrialization standard;
On the other hand, the domestic power infrastructure was still imperfect during this period, and the power supply capacity could not support the demand for the popularization of large-scale electric vehicles.

Li Aiguo's eyes quickly fell on a car that looked plain at first glance, but exuded a domineering look upon closer inspection - the Hmmwv off-road military vehicle.

You may be unfamiliar with the Hmmwv off-road military vehicle. It has another name, called Hummer.

The first generation of Hummer was produced in 80. The production technology level is moderate. If we work hard, we can definitely make it.

"What you copied is a classic, this is it!"

Li Aiguo spent 100 points without hesitation and exchanged them for the blueprint.

Almost instantly, my brain started buzzing.

Hundreds of data were transmitted from an unknown place.

Li Aiguo felt dizzy and many unfamiliar memories appeared in his mind.

Closing my eyes, the memories quickly became simple and easy to understand.

Li Aiguo briefly read through it, his eyes widened suddenly, and he felt ecstatic in his heart.

Just as he expected.

These materials not only include design drawings, but also process production standards, manufacturing technical data, and even material formulas.

With the help of his mastery of mechanical design, he instantly understood all this information.

From raw materials to processing into accessories, and then to assembly into cars, these scenes emerged one after another in front of Li Aiguo.

If we can really make this thing, we will make a lot of money.

You have to eat your food one bite at a time, walk your road one step at a time, and build a car by repairing it first.

Li Aiguo suppressed his excitement, picked up the wrench and walked to the GAZ jeep parked outside the gate: "I'll practice on you first."
