the next day.
Li Kailang immediately rushed to his master's office and waited for the call from the cement factory.
This kind of task usually takes two or three days to complete, but the exact time is uncertain, so Li Kailang needs to stay in front of the phone.
The masters looked at Li Kailang's attitude and wanted to persuade him, but were stopped by other masters.
"Forget it, Lao Zhao, don't worry about it. That's their master-disciple relationship. Xiao Li can do this, I think Lao Zhang also knows it."
"Yeah, if he really doesn't let him, how could Lao Zhang let Xiao Li do this? Let Xiao Li go for a while. If it really doesn't work, he will give up."
"But Xiao Li's skills are also good, I'm afraid." Master Zhao hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, Lao Zhang will definitely not let Xiao Li carry too much, at most only one ton."
The weight of 1 ton of steel bars is still bearable for experienced drivers and there will basically be no problems.
Lao Zhao sighed, "Okay, let Xiao Li go. Let's divide the tasks and divide Xiao Li's tasks as well."
Without Zhang Jinwu, these tasks were presided over by the old master, who first made his own selection, and then the remaining ones were evenly distributed.
Overall it is fair, but not as good as Zhang Jinwu's special allocation.
After all, some routes are difficult to travel and there are no benefits to be gained, so people naturally stay away from them. This is unavoidable.
Basically, every master will go on tasks like this a few times a month.
"Ding-ling-ling——" the phone suddenly rang.
Li Kailang picked up the phone immediately.
"The cement factory needs a batch of 2 tons of steel bars. Please send them over now." The voice of a staff member from the logistics department came over the phone.
"Okay, let's set off right away!" Li Kailang replied.
Quickly write out the task list in the master's office and stamp it with the transport team's seal, and the task is officially completed.
Li Kailang took the task list and drove quickly to the warehouse.
The masters watched but did not stop Li Kailang.
Li Kailang returned to where his master had parked the car before, his eyes fixed on the road below. He did not set off immediately, but chose to get out of the car and check it again.
Not only does he want to complete this journey for his master, he also has other ideas, but the prerequisite is that he must succeed.
Taking a deep breath, Li Kailang faced the road ahead with determination and gradually made up his mind.
"Rumble--"
The GAZ-51 moved forward slowly. With the experience of yesterday's driving, Li Kailang gradually formed his own ideas.
Before the first gentle slope curve, the car does not need much power and can drive normally along the slope.
With [Driving Mastery], Li Kailang operates the steering wheel skillfully and uses the brakes flexibly according to the road conditions.
Soon, the first gently sloping curve came into view.
Li Kailang downshifted and turned the steering wheel, and the GAZ truck drove smoothly into the curve.
Li Kailang followed his master's instructions and stepped on the brakes lightly and harder from time to time to slow down the car.
Next was a long downhill slope, which was also the place where his master escaped death. Li Kailang looked ahead with serious eyes and breathed slowly.
After driving out of the bend, Li Kailang will have to face the situation alone.
For such a steep downhill road, it is best to control the speed at the beginning. Since Li Kailang knows it, other masters must know it too!
While the speed is not too fast, tap the brakes lightly continuously to control the speed.
"Squeak--" the sharp sound of brakes echoed on the empty slope.
But this is a steep slope after all, and even though I stepped on the brakes several times, my speed still increased.
Li Kailang immediately turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the dirt road on the side, using the friction of the dirt to slow down the car.
“Boom boom—”
There were potholes of various sizes on the dirt road. The truck was shaking violently on the dirt road, and Li Kailang's body was bouncing up and down.
Even though Li Kailang held the steering wheel tightly, he still couldn't completely control the shaking of the vehicle.
"boom!"
When passing a big pit, the truck suddenly bounced up, then dropped sharply, and the steel bars in the car body also went up and down.
The impact caused Li Kailang's body to lean back suddenly, and his hands almost left the steering wheel.
The steel bars in the carriage made a harsh sound during the violent shaking.
No wonder other masters can’t learn it. If they lose balance and take their hands off the steering wheel, the consequences will be disastrous.
Li Kailang reacted quickly, taking advantage of the pause to step on the brakes, then quickly released them.
"Boom boom boom——"
As the truck passed through a series of small potholes, the bumps became more violent, causing Li Kailang's body to move with it, but his hands still tightly grasped the steering wheel.
Taking advantage of the bumps, Li Kailang stepped on the brakes from time to time, slowing down little by little.
Soon, halfway up the long and steep slope, Li Kailang successfully controlled the speed of the truck within a safe range, but now was not the time to rejoice.
Then the effect of the dirt road gradually weakened, but Li Kailang did not drive out of the dirt road.
Even if the effect is weak, it is still useful. This time, Li Kailang cannot afford to make any mistakes!
Li Kailang stepped on the brakes from time to time, and then released them instantly, and the truck moved forward in a jerky manner.
The steel bars of the carriage hit the steel plates of the cab, making a harsh sound, as if it was asking for death.
However, Li Kailang didn't care at all. All his attention was focused on the road conditions ahead.
"Squeak-"
The continuous heavy braking caused the tires and brake pads to make sharp sounds, and one could even smell a faint smell of burning tires.
Fortunately, the speed of the car has been controlled.
"We can't use the brakes like this anymore!" Li Kailang made the decision instantly.
If you continue to step on the tire hard like this, the tire is likely to catch fire and cause a blowout.
A flat tire would make it more difficult for him to control the car, and that was just a small matter.
If your car breaks down due to a flat tire, that's a real life-or-death situation.
"Calm down! Calm down!" Li Kailang kept reminding himself in his heart.
Downshift again and use engine braking to keep your speed under control.
After the truck downshifted, its speed dropped. Li Kailang lightly pressed the brakes to reduce braking and maintain the speed.
Soon, a curve appeared in front of us. Once we passed this curve, there would be a flat road ahead.
Now, the top priority is to deal with the current situation well.
"Squeak-"
Listening to the sharp sound caused by excessive friction between the tires and brake pads, Li Kailang knew that he only had one last chance to step on the brakes.
This time we must get the hang of it, not only to successfully reduce the speed, but also to ensure that the vehicle can pass the curve safely.
More importantly, the steel bars in the carriage must not be allowed to pass through the iron plate and into the cab.
Li Kailang gently turned the steering wheel, causing the car to sway slightly left and right.
Li Kailang gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes were solemn, and all the nerves in his body seemed to be stretched to the extreme.
"Chance!!!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Li Kailang's mind. This was the effect of [Driving Mastery], telling him that now was the best time to step on the brakes.
Li Kailang slammed on the brakes without hesitation.
"Squeak--" A sharp friction sound and a piercing chirping sound rang out instantly.
The contact between the brake pads and the tires became more intense, and the friction sound between the ground and the tires was like a shrill scream, but Li Kailang ignored it.
The truck paused, seemingly at a standstill.
But in fact, it was not the case. Li Kailang released the brake instantly, changed gears and stepped on the accelerator without hesitation.
The car suddenly moved forward a short distance.
"Boom!!!"
The steel bars in the carriage hit the steel plate behind the cab heavily. Before they penetrated the steel plate, the car had moved forward, instantly widening the distance between the steel bars and the steel plate.
"Bang!!!" The steel bars hit the carriage heavily.
The entire vehicle shook violently, and Li Kailang almost lost control of the vehicle.
"Hu——" Li Kailang let out a long sigh.
"What a risk! What a risk!"
His action just now could be said to be a matter of life and death, and he was almost stabbed to death by the steel bars in the rear carriage.
My heart was beating as hard as a bouncing drum, and I felt nervous and relieved at the same time.
There was nothing unusual on the road ahead, and Li Kailang felt relieved.
Looking at the rearview mirror, there was no fire, no black smoke, and no burning smell coming from the rear tires.
Li Kailang passed this deadly section of the road safely.
