A doctor who travels through two eras

Upon hearing this, Xue Ding decided to go all out; he couldn't afford to disgrace the army in public, so he clenched his fist.
"Okay, I'll give it a try, but Ms. Lin Siling, you'll have to be there to help me check it out."

Lin Sanqi waved his hand and said, "It's alright, just drive. This car usually doesn't break down, and if it does, you won't have to pay for it."

The three quickly got into the car. Xue Ding swallowed hard, released the handbrake, and then stepped on the gas. The car suddenly lurched forward, but luckily he reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes.

Lin Sanqi comforted him, "Don't worry, it's okay. Just press the accelerator a few more times and you'll get the feel for it. Let's go."

Schröding was relieved to hear this and began to gently press the accelerator. The Shandong Cat gradually accelerated, becoming faster and faster, and more and more balanced.

The Shandong cat didn't have a license plate, and no one in the entire Bao'an County dared to stop Commissioner Lin, this local tyrant, so they quickly arrived at the Tuyang Warehouse.

The Tuyang Warehouse is nestled between mountains and the sea. Because of the constant traffic of large trucks, the roads are extremely muddy and dilapidated, riddled with potholes.

Despite the constant bumps, Schrödinger's Shandong Cat was generally very balanced, and it was run at 60 mph throughout the test to assess its performance.

On the same road, a large truck is lucky to travel 30 kilometers; any faster and it's likely to fall apart.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Schröding exclaimed excitedly:
"Great, excellent, Commander. This car's performance completely surpasses all current domestic cars. It's perfect for our Yunnan border troops."

After getting off the car, Xue Ding also fell in love with the 8-wheeled Shandong Cat and seemed to want to take it home as his wife.

Lin Sanqi was particularly satisfied with the performance of these two country bumpkins from the 1960s. It was worth it for him to travel through two time periods and drink so much liquor to get the all-terrain vehicle.

"Old Cao, Little Xue, look closely! I still have 21 Shandong Cat models in my warehouse, ta-da! Ta-da~~~"

When the warehouse door opened, it revealed all sorts of Shandong cats parked inside, some with six wheels, some with four wheels, and even three-wheeled tricycles.

Some looked like trucks, some like jeeps, some like armored vehicles—a motley collection that left Commander Cao and Battalion Commander Xue completely dumbfounded.

"Xiao Lin, are these all the Shandong cats you mentioned?"

Lin Sanqi said proudly, "That's right, Shandong Cat. But remember, its full name is All-Terrain Mountain. Just listen to that name, it's a car that can drive on any terrain."

Xue Ding dashed over in one stride, then asked urgently:

"Ms. Lin, may I give it a try?"

"Sure, go ahead and try it. Don't be afraid of breaking it. This kind of car is meant to be driven hard. Just stand up and pedal like someone else's wife. The starting and driving steps are the same."

At this moment, Xue Ding jumped onto a four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle, and Lin Sanqi reminded him:

"This car can switch between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive; you just need to press this button. Two-wheel mode is more fuel-efficient, while four-wheel mode is more fun to drive."

Schröding studied it for a moment and then asked:

"Mr. Lin, may I try going to the back mountain?"

Behind the Tuyang Warehouse lies the continuous Wutong Mountain Range, with steep mountain roads and dense vegetation, a typical tropical rainforest.

Lin Sanqi also got into another all-terrain vehicle: "Come on, let's go have some fun together."

At this moment, Commander Cao couldn't resist the urge to fight:
“I’ll drive one too, and see how it performs. Xiaolin, these are all new cars…”

Lin Sanqi habitually waved his hand:
"It's okay, I've pre-ordered 5 of these Shandong Cats. Drive them however you like, and if they break down, just throw them away without even fixing them, hmph."

Upon hearing this, Commander Cao had no more reservations. He jumped onto a four-wheeled off-road vehicle and took the lead, rushing off ahead.

The three of them drove their Shandong Cat car around the mountains like wild animals, heading towards whatever terrain was most difficult. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a jungle adventure game played by rich kids decades from now.

After half a day, all three of them were covered in mud, and their bodies and faces had many cuts from tree branches.

Suddenly, Schröding saw a mud slope of about 65 degrees. He got itchy to try it out, so he stepped on the gas and sped forward.

Commander Cao had a sharp eye; he called out softly:
"This slope is too steep. It'd be a stretch for the Shandong Cat to drive up it. Schrödinger, be careful, don't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xue Ding's Shandong Cat suddenly skidded, and the car came to a stop for a moment.

As the saying goes, an observer sees more clearly. Lin Sanqi and Commander Cao already knew the car was going to overturn. Sure enough, the Shandong Cat did a backflip and then rolled several times on the muddy ground.

Commander Cao realized something was wrong, so he hurriedly got out of the car and ran over, shouting, "Help!"

Lin Sanqi had already seen through it; Schröding was completely unharmed, probably just a little dizzy from rolling around a few times. Because the Shandong Cat was built to withstand complex environments, and had several weapon mounts on its roof, the car only suffered minor scratches after a few rolls.

Sure enough, Xue Ding suddenly shouted, "I'm fine. I refuse to believe in this evil spirit today!"

After the car came to a stop, Xue Ding stepped on the gas and sped up the hill again. That's how soldiers are—they never give up. Today, they were determined to conquer this steep hill.

Commander Cao stared in astonishment at the Shandong cat charging out again, then burst into laughter.

"Xiao Lin, this is great! These Shandong cats are practically tailor-made for us. With these cars, our troops' mobility will be greatly enhanced."

The three had a great time. After coming down from Wutong Mountain, they returned to the Tuyang Warehouse.

Fu Hongliang, the director of the logistics department of the Fushan Military Sub-district and the head of the Tuyang Warehouse, who is also Shen Guoming's son-in-law, had already prepared clean clothes and was waiting for him in person.

"Commander Cao, Commissioner Lin, Xue Ding. I have prepared hot water and clothes. Please go and change first."

Commander Cao took the towel, looked at Fu Hongliang with a smile, and said:
"Xiao Fu, you've really grown a lot since you came to Bao'an County a few months ago. It seems that the mountains and rivers of Bao'an are good for people."

Fu Hongliang was originally Cao Junzhang's subordinate, so they were naturally acquainted. He replied with a smile:

"Commander, you don't know, the canteen in Bao'an County serves meat every day, as well as all kinds of seafood. It's impossible not to gain weight."

Commander Cao shook his head, somewhat dissatisfied, and said:

"That won't do. We soldiers have to look like soldiers. So, from now on, can you run 5 kilometers every morning with a 20-kilogram load?"

Although Fu Hongliang was no longer part of the Yunnan Army, soldiers consider obedience to orders their primary duty, so he solemnly stood at attention:
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Schröding suddenly realized something was wrong:

"No, no, Hongliang, you were a major like me before, right? How come you have an extra star now, making you 22 cents?"

Fu Hongliang said smugly:

"That's right, I'm the head of the logistics department of the military sub-district now. How about it? Want to come work with me in Bao'an County?"

Schröding waved his hand repeatedly:

“No, you’re a civilian cadre, it’s the same for you wherever you go. I’ve honed my skills, I’m going to fight on the front lines. Look, Commissioner Lin has brought us so many tanks, I can’t wait to drive my Shandong Cat all over the mountains and fields to kill the enemy.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Hongliang stroked his chin and said:
"This Shandong cat is indeed quite good; I just tried playing with it myself. However, it feels like something's missing when you're actually going to fight on the battlefield."

Schröding also fell into deep thought upon hearing this:
"Hey, you know what, something is definitely missing..."

*Snap!* The two shouted simultaneously, "We're missing some good weapons!"

Upon hearing this, Commander Cao also found it reasonable, and thus instructed Fu Hongliang:
"Hongliang, do you have machine guns here?"

"Yes, we have both the Type 53 heavy machine gun and the Type 56 squad automatic weapon."

"Then find a welder to weld a machine gun stock onto the Shandong Cat's bracket. Let's see if the current machine gun can be mounted on the Shandong Cat and unleash its power."

Lin Sanqi also came out after taking a shower and thought it made sense.

"Yes, let's test the guns first. If there's anything that doesn't fit, we'll adjust it. So, let's put aside the mortars and howitzers for now and try the machine guns first."

The Shandong Cat is characterized by its mobility and agility, making it perfect for machine guns. Once an enemy is spotted, the safety is released, and it can fire in rapid succession, which is also due to its mobility and agility.

If you use artillery, you have to stop the machine to adjust the angle and correct the parameters before firing, which is very troublesome. By then, the enemy in the jungle may have already disappeared without a trace, and you won't be waiting to shoot them.

The logistics staff acted quickly and immediately installed gunstocks on different Shandong cats.

Fu Hongliang drove the car, Xue Ding operated the machine gun, and they drove the Shandong Cat into the jungle again for a "live-fire exercise".

Lin Sanqi, along with Commander Cao, drove another Shandong Cat behind them.

After half a day of testing, everyone sat down together, and Schröding gave his report: (End of Chapter)
