A doctor who travels through two eras

Karasu Pass is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the geological environment is very harsh. There is no vegetation, and the area is full of jagged rocks and potholes.

Walking is difficult, let alone driving; it's like the surface of Mars.

This is why the military camp in Kongkashan can only use horses and mules to carry supplies; ordinary vehicles cannot be driven there.

As a result, everyone saw Commander Cao driving this small car, moving freely through the rugged mountain terrain as if it were flat ground.

Either speed up or turn around quickly, regardless of whether there is a big pit or a slope ahead, pass through quickly without the slightest hesitation.

The military leaders present were all professionals, and they immediately recognized the extraordinary qualities of these Shandong cats, which made them all excited:
"Great, great, this car is excellent. It's perfect for maneuvering in harsh environments."

"How can it be as agile as a loach? It's amazing."

"What kind of car is this? I've never seen one like it before."

Commander Cao returned from his fancy stroll, extremely pleased with himself:

"See this? This vehicle is not only highly mobile, but look at what's welded on it? A machine gun mount. When it's in use, you can put a heavy machine gun on it and fire while driving. Isn't that a perfect infantry armored vehicle?"

"Oh my, can weapons be mounted on this?"

"This is a great idea! It allows us to hit and run, which is perfect for our guerrilla warfare."

"Old Cao, get out of the car and let me drive it around."

A group of military leaders began to enthusiastically study the Shandong cat, but a group of clever leaders followed closely behind Leader Jing and Lin Sanqi.

Because they thought those big trucks were the real good stuff.

Which is more important, a car or a big truck?
Lin Sanqi led everyone to the large truck and then introduced:

"Commanders, these large trucks are all customized versions, suitable for high-altitude areas. They are powerful and have a very large cargo capacity, with the heaviest being up to 90 tons. They can be equipped with different semi-trailers."

Looking at the rows of tall, red trucks in front of us, everyone sees them as products of cutting-edge technology.

Lin Sanqi pointed to the rows of trucks and said;
"This row of tanker trucks is full of large oil tankers. Each tank can hold 35 tons of diesel. Our transport routes are very long, and trucks will break down if they run out of fuel. These tanker trucks can serve as mobile gas stations."

For logistical support, our fuel supply must be up to par first. As you've seen, these large trucks can carry a lot, but they also consume a lot of fuel. We want the trucks to run fast, but we also need to ensure they have enough fuel.

Leader Jing nodded, knowing that this was a difficult matter, but also a problem that had to be solved.

But what Lin Sanqi didn't know was that the big trucks built these days were real money-guzzlers.

For example, the old Jiefang trucks consume 40 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, and sometimes, when the trucks are too old, it can even consume 50 liters.

The batch of J6P plateau version tractor trucks that Lin Sanqi acquired only consumed about 20 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, which was far lower than that of large trucks of that era.

Leader Jing circled the large truck a few times, then asked somewhat curiously:
"Why is there Chinese on this truck? Look, there are two big Jiefang signs on the roof."

Lin Sanqi was a little embarrassed and could only explain:
“Our base uses simplified Chinese, including the designation of our roads, such as Changsha Road and Hunan Road, which are synchronized with those in China.”

In addition, our factory names are based on domestic geographical names, such as Changchun XX Factory, Shanghai XX Company, etc., which are almost no different from those in China.

However, if you look closely, you will see the difference. The font is different, and the writing style is different. We are used to writing from left to right.

The conventional writing style in China is from top to bottom or from right to left, and it uses traditional Chinese characters.

Fortunately, the fonts used in the two eras were different, otherwise it would have been impossible to explain.

As for what happens decades later, when people visit a museum and suddenly discover that these cars and airplanes might have traveled from the past, that's none of Lin Sanqi's business.

By then, he'll either be dead or abroad, so whatever.

To change the subject, Lin Sanqi led the group to a semi-trailer container and took out an iron pot and a gas stove.

"Gentlemen, everyone, look, this can is called a gas cylinder, it stores natural gas, and this is called a gas stove."

A military region commander nodded in agreement.
"I know about gas stoves. Before liberation, I was doing underground work in Shanghai, and there were these gas stoves there. They didn't need firewood or coal, and they lit up instantly, which was very convenient. It's just that the gas stoves in front of me look a little different." In 1855, the British company Hoddington Anton Smith invented the world's first household heating device using gas fuel. At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi was still visiting the Summer Palace.

Shanghai is the largest city in the Far East. You can find all sorts of fashionable and advanced gadgets here, but the prices are often sky-high, and only a few people can afford them.

Lin Sanqi gave a thumbs up and said:
"Yes, this is gas. Our soldiers lack fuel on the snowy plateau, and it's very difficult for them to get a hot meal and a drink of hot water. With this gas stove, they can start a fire anytime, anywhere."

In addition, this is called a pressure cooker. The altitude of Kongka Mountain is over 6,000 meters. As everyone knows, as the altitude increases, the air pressure gradually decreases, which causes the boiling point of water to decrease as well.

In plains areas, water needs to reach 100 degrees Celsius to boil, but on plateaus, water may start to boil at only 70 degrees Celsius.

Some might think, "In that case, let's cook it a little longer."

However, the truth is that when water begins to boil, the temperature remains constant because water changes from a liquid to a gaseous state after reaching its boiling point. During this process, the water vaporizes into steam and carries away heat, making it difficult for food to cook further.

I specifically sought out this pressure cooker to cook food better on the plateau.

Pressure cookers increase the pressure inside the pot, thereby raising the boiling point of water and maintaining a sustained temperature without boiling over. This ensures food is thoroughly cooked, making pressure cookers the best cooking tool at high altitudes.

Leader Jing understood, but he glanced at the surrounding officers and smiled:

"Comrade Sanqi, I understand what you mean, but what are you talking about with these roughnecks about altitude, temperature, and pressure? What do they know?"

Hahaha~~~ Everyone around burst into laughter.

Xu Tianxing silently picked up a pressure cooker, his heart filled with countless emotions.

In the Kongka Mountains region, cooking rice is not a problem, but cooking it thoroughly is too difficult. Most of the time, our soldiers can only eat half-cooked food.

This led to a large number of gastrointestinal diseases, with people experiencing either diarrhea or constipation after eating, which was very painful and seriously affected morale.

Thinking of this, Xu Tianxing silently took out a kettle, added water to the pressure cooker, sealed it tightly, and then started the fire on the gas stove.

Those who saw it looked over curiously.

Because there wasn't much cold water, the pressure cooker soon emitted bursts of steam, and the vent valve on top started to operate rapidly.

Lin Sanqi laughed and said, "Commander Xu, this water is cooked."

Xu Tianxing glanced at his watch, overjoyed:
"Great, great, great! This is simply a miracle! Comrade Sanqi, you've solved a huge problem for us!"

Lin Sanqi then pointed to the other containers and said:
"I've sent 10,000 sets over this time, which should be enough for your use in Kongka Mountain. Also, since it's freezing cold there, I've prepared a lot of energy bars, chocolates, and candies to help increase the soldiers' calorie intake."

In addition, hundreds of containers were filled with canned meat, canned fruit, compressed biscuits, and ham sausages. Once these are transported up there, our soldiers will have meat to eat and vitamins to supplement their diet; they won't have to eat fried rice noodles with snow water anymore.

Xu Tianxing was on the verge of tears:

"Comrade Sanqi, you are truly a great benefactor. I really don't know how to thank you."

Leader Jing patted Xu Tianxing on the shoulder, then looked at Lin Sanqi:

"Did you bring the medicine? That's also very important."

Lin Sanqi then pointed to several white containers:

"The medicines are all there. In addition to my family's secret recipe medicine, I also brought a large amount of antibiotics, all labeled as cephalosporins or quinolones, and they are all oral medications. I'm afraid the liquid ones will freeze."

Besides, most injuries from fighting are external, so I've prepared tens of thousands of clearance kits, containing everything from stitches and gauze to sterile cotton balls. When needed, you simply open the kit; it's a complete set inside, and you just throw it away after use.

A big shot nearby exclaimed, "Wow, this is so advanced! Comrade Sanqi, could you show it to us?"

Lin Sanqi opened a shipping container, took out a white-packaged box from it, and opened it on the spot:
“首长们，大家看，这里面有弯盘1个、持针器1把、直剪刀1把、弯剪刀1把、刀柄1把、勾镊子两把、组织钳两把、敷料纱布数块、孔巾一块。

These plastic bags contain different sizes of round and angled needles for suturing tissue and skin, as well as suture threads of varying thicknesses. One bag contains iodine, and the other contains alcohol—both are for disinfection.

In a real emergency, all we need to do is administer one of my family's ancestral "bleed-stopping pills," which will guarantee to stop the bleeding within minutes. Then, we can quickly perform wound cleaning and suturing. It's very convenient and efficient. (End of Chapter)
