Chapter 107
At the same time, the courtyard.
Four people including Mr. Han came to the courtyard, followed by a young man, who should be Lao Yang's son.
"Comrade Li, this is my son, you can just call him Xiao Yang!" Old Yang introduced.
Xiao Yang is about 23 years old, with a sturdy build. He has a smiling face and looks a little embarrassed. He looks much older than Li Kailang.
"How can I do this? It's obvious that Brother Yang is older than me, how can I yell at him!" Li Kailang said embarrassedly.
Apart from Cui Gang, Li Kailang has never been called "brother" by anyone, and he always meets people who are older than him.
"It's okay, it's okay. You've helped me so much, it's okay to call me that!" Engineer Yang explained.
After a familiar and intense tug of war, Li Kailang finally agreed after being persuaded by a group of masters.
This is not what Li Kailang wants, absolutely not! No!
"Son, come and call Brother Li!" Engineer Yang said to his son.
"Brother Li!" Xiao Yang said.
"Hey!" Li Kailang responded in a daze.
Li Kailang was a little uncomfortable with being called brother, but this feeling was not bad.
"By the way, Engineer Han, Xiao Yang's wages should also be included. This is what we agreed upon." Li Kailang instructed.
"Okay, don't worry!" Engineer Han replied.
Seeing that Engineer Yang was about to speak again, Li Kailang immediately said: Engineer Yang, don't refuse. We agreed on this yesterday.
After saying that, he remembered something: "By the way, Engineer Yang, have you reported the installation of the underground water pipe to the street office?"
Engineer Yang then remembered, "I reported this to the Street Office yesterday. It can be installed. Don't worry!"
Li Kailang nodded. "Okay, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to be late for work, so I'll leave it to you to decide what to do. If you have any difficulties, let me know."
"Yes, yes, yes, go ahead and do your thing!" the masters said, making way for him.
Li Kailang didn't say much, took the cart, got on his bicycle and left.
The masters looked at Li Kailang's departing back and sighed, "This master is such a good person! He is so different from the previous masters!"
"Okay, stop talking and get to work. We can't let our master down!" Engineer Han said.
The masters still started working, but the noise was a little small.
Logically speaking, Sha Zhu should have chased them out at this time, but at this moment, Sha Zhu was still lying at home, feeling a dull pain in his stomach, and he couldn't go to work today.
Li Kailang came to the steel mill, but he was not assigned any tasks in the morning. He had to sit there all day. Fortunately, tomorrow was the weekend.
"Brother, do you have a mission today?"
"No, why do you want to complete the mission?" Lu Wenjiang replied.
"You two should stop talking nonsense and come and help me when you have time. I'm busy as hell!" Zhang Fen complained.
"Hahahaha——" the two couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Who made you fail the exam? If you had passed it, wouldn't you be like us?" Lu Wenjiang laughed.
Zhang Fen failed the theoretical examinations repeatedly. No one could help him with the theoretical knowledge, so he had to rely on himself.
"Hmph, just wait, I will be able to pass the next exam, and things will be different then!" Zhang Fen said angrily.
"Okay, we'll wait!" Lu Wenjiang smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, when is the next exam?" Lu Wenjiang asked Li Kailang.
"It should be in July or August." Li Kailang replied.
The driving license test is held twice a year, and the specific time occasionally changes. It was because of the changes that my predecessor had sufficient preparation time and was able to pass the test in one go.
"Okay, Xiao Li, let's go find Uncle Ding and do something fun!" Lu Wenjiang stood up and said.
"Looking for Uncle Ding? Uncle Ding is in the armory, what fun is there?" Li Kailang asked puzzledly.
"You forgot that you are a pilot now. You have 50 rounds of training bullets every month. Go get a gun from Uncle Ding and practice!"
"I almost forgot! Okay, let's go now!" Li Kailang remembered that Uncle Ding had mentioned it before.
Watching the two people walk away, Zhang Fen looked at them with resentment.
"Damn it, wait until I come over for the exam and see how I'm going to deal with you, ah!!!" Zhang Fen said angrily.
"Zhang Fen, why are you yelling? Just fix the car properly!" Zhang Jinwu looked at his son who was going crazy and yelled at him.
"I know!" Zhang Fen replied.
"Hahaha!" everyone laughed.
Soon, the two came to the armory and found Uncle Ding.
"Uncle Ding, don't sleep anymore, we're here to get the guns!" Lu Wenjiang said loudly.
"Stop making noise! It's not like I can't hear you!" Uncle Ding said unhappily.
"You kid, now that you're so capable, you've started to disrespect the elderly. When you first started out, you..." Lu Wenjiang quickly covered Uncle Ding's mouth and looked at Li Kailang and said:
"Don't listen to Uncle Ding's nonsense. Who am I?"
Li Kailang looked at Lu Wenjiang meaningfully, then at Uncle Ding, as if the two were doing something bad.
"Let go. Let go!" Uncle Ding immediately broke free from Lu Wenjiang's hand that was covering his mouth.
"Okay, then don't tell me. Tell me what brought you here this time?" Uncle Ding said unhappily.
"You are free now, come get your gun and go to the training ground to practice." Lu Wenjiang said.
"You should have told me earlier!"
Uncle Ding soon took out two guns.
"You guys take this gun. If there's no bullets, go get some at the training ground."
Both men were holding their own pistols.
"Okay, go away now. Don't stay here. You're disturbing me and I can't sleep." Uncle Ding said to them.
The two had no choice but to leave.
After walking for about twenty minutes, we finally arrived at a remote corner of the steel mill.
The sound of gunfire coming from a distance could be clearly heard.
The training ground is far away from other departments of the factory, and there are no houses, trees or other shelters around it, so there is no need to worry about enemy spies or others daring to come over.
Lu Wenjiang took Li Kailang and received 50 rounds of special bullets with ease.
"By the way, Xiao Li, the bullets used in the training ground are specially made by us. They are not as powerful as the bullets in the armory, and their range is not that good either."
"You won't be able to kill anyone if you're at a distance, but don't point the gun at others." Lu Wenjiang instructed Li Kailang.
After a few steps, the two arrived at the pistol shooting range.
Lu Wenjiang pointed at the target and said, "This target is about 50 meters away, which is enough for us to practice shooting."
He pointed to a shooting range in the distance and said, "The other side is the machine gun shooting range, and that side is the security guard shooting range. If you don't have anything to do, don't go over there, so as not to cause misunderstanding."
"Okay, let's practice here!" The two began their shooting training here.
There were not many people at the shooting range today. Only a few people from the Second Transport Team were practicing shooting. Lu Wenjiang was not familiar with those people, so he did not go over to say hello.
Li Kailang tried to fire a shot, "Bang!" The bullet shot out like an arrow and hit the target 50 meters away!
“So light!”
Li Kailang clearly felt that the recoil of the pistol was much smaller and the speed of the bullet was not fast.
Switching on the rapid-fire mode, Li Kailang fired 20 bullets in succession.
"Beng Beng Beng——"
20 bullets were fired like sparks, smashing the distant target into pieces.
Lu Wenjiang looked at the target and exclaimed: "Good shot, Xiao Li!"
"No, no! It's mainly because the recoil is too small." Li Kailang said truthfully.
"Indeed, the bullets in the training ground are not used for combos, but mainly for practicing accuracy. Let's forget about it this time, and practice accuracy next time." Lu Wenjiang explained
If the bullets issued by the gun depot are a 10-jin stone, then the bullets issued by the training ground are 3 jin of cotton. They are completely different in quality and real feeling.
The two of them didn't say anything else and continued practicing shooting.
Li Kailang took some time to watch Lu Wenjiang shoot a gun. His accuracy was much better than Li Kailang's, and basically every shot hit the bull's eye.
On the other hand, only a few of my shots hit the bullseye, and the rest hit around the bullseye, but they didn't fall off the target.
No wonder, Li Kailang only knows how to use firearms, but he is not yet proficient or proficient in it.
-
After coming out of the training ground, the two men returned their guns. Now they had nothing to do.
"Let's go back to the transport team and see if there is anything we can do!" Lu Wenjiang suggested.
Li Kailang did not refuse.
When passing by the warehouse, Li Kailang also saw Cui Yuan, but he did not go up to say hello.
Cui Yuan had just finished moving a truckload of goods and was taking a break. After working here for more than half a month, Cui Yuan has a good relationship with his co-workers.
The two returned to the transport team and saw that the lounge was filled with smoke. All the masters were smoking and chatting.
The two men came in unexpectedly, were choked by the smoke and started coughing continuously.
"Hahaha--"
"Damn, you guys are smoking like there's a fire in the lounge!" Lu Wenjiang cursed.
"You kid, you used to be the one who smoked the most, why are you swearing now?" Master Zhao said unhappily.
"Yes, I remember when you first got your apprenticeship, you couldn't feel satisfied unless you smoked one or two packs a day, as if you had never smoked before." Another master echoed.
"Bullshit, when have I ever whipped like this!" Lu Wenjiang cursed and said to the other masters.
As for Li Kailang, he was choked by the smoke and had to leave the lounge.
"Just go ahead and do it in the car!"
Li Kailang returned to the car and took out a pen and paper from the ring. There were many blurred traces of drawing on the paper.
Although these traces look messy, they reflect Li Kailang's hard work over the past few days.
Ever since he told his master Zhang Jinwu that he had a way to control the speed of the car, Li Kailang has been drawing blueprints these days - seat belts and brake water tanks.
Li Kailang just needed to make it, but if he made it so abruptly, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so Li Kailang had been drawing blueprints these days.
Thanks to Carpenter Master, Li Kailang was also able to draw sketches of these two.
It’s just that the painting is not very good and there are some traces of graffiti, but this is the effect that Li Kailang wants.
After all, the painting is so good, who can believe that it was painted by Li Kailang.
Now, there are outlines of the seat belts and brake tanks on paper. We can make them by following these sketches.
However, Li Kailang had no intention of taking out the drawings right now, as he was still missing a key thing - the patent.
All Li Kailang needed to do was to find a book about patents in a bookstore, and use it to convince Zhang Jinwu and Li Huaide that his idea was feasible.
The purpose of the patent book is to let them know that as long as they apply for a patent, they can earn foreign exchange by doing a cost-free business with just these two, and this is the most important thing.
It wasn't difficult to make a seat belt, he could do it himself.
As for the brake water tank, you need to find a repairman to help make it, which is not difficult.
Don't assume that the maintenance workers in the transport team can only repair various faults and do not know how to manufacture and assemble parts.
"Xiao Li, it's almost time for dinner, do you want to go eat?"
At this time, Zhang Fen shouted and saw Li Kailang sitting in the car, writing and drawing with his hands.
"Hey! What are you doing? Let me see!" Zhang Fen asked curiously.
"Oh! Come on, I haven't finished it yet, wait until I'm done before you take a look!"
"Don't be so stingy! Let me take a look!"
Li Kailang's words made Zhang Fen even more curious. He opened the door of the driver's cab and wanted to come up and take a look.
"That won't work. You'd better wait until I'm done!" Li Kailang quickly put away the drawings and put them in the storage box under the car seat.
"So mysterious, are you painting a girl?" Zhang Fen joked.
In order to protect the drawings, Li Kailang could only nod in agreement, "Yes, yes, you are right!"
"Tell us quickly which girl it is so we can see her too." Zhang Fen asked relentlessly.
"There's nothing to see here. You're such a big mouth. If you knew, you'd definitely tell others. Wait until I get her first! Otherwise, you'll ruin everything!"
Li Kailang replied unhappily.
"How can you say that to me? Are we still brothers?" Zhang Fen said unhappily.
"I was wrong!" In order to protect the drawings, Li Kailang could only give in to the snake.
"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, are you ready? Come here quickly!" Lu Wenjiang shouted from a distance.
Almost the entire transport team headed towards the cafeteria, and they were the only ones still standing there.
"Here they come!" Zhang Fen shouted. He had no interest in arguing with Li Kailang and quickly chased after him.
Seeing the two people coming over, Master Zhang Jinwu said unhappily: "What's wrong with you two? Why are you so hesitant?"
"Dad, it's Xiao Li who misses his girl. I just saw him looking at a blueprint!" Zhang Fen explained.
"Drawings? What drawings? Do I need drawings to see a girl?" Zhang Jinwu thought he was out of date and couldn't keep up with the times.
But if you think about it carefully, how is that possible? With a camera, you can just look at the photos, why would you bother looking at the drawings?
Looking at his son's stupid appearance, Zhang Jinwu was so angry that he wanted to hit him.
"My own child, my own child!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. If you get angry and become sick, no one can replace you!"
Zhang Jinwu kept repeating in his mind, resisting the urge to hit Zhang Fen, wondering how on earth he had given birth to such a thing.
Zhang Jinwu looked at Li Kailang and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Li? Are you doing something?"
Li Kailang nodded and said, "You will know when the time comes!"
"Dad, listen to this, Xiao Li just said to me, he's so stingy, he even hid the paper." Zhang Fen complained.
But he had no ill intentions, he just wanted Zhang Jinwu to teach him a lesson.
"Pa!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Jinwu slapped Zhang Fen on the head.
"Humph, Xiao Li must have his reasons for not letting you see it. You should take care of yourself. Why are you peeking at other people's things for no reason?"
Zhang Jinwu was very disappointed with Zhang Fen. After teaching Zhang Fen a lesson, he looked at Li Kailang.
"Is this the idea you mentioned last time, that the masters should step on the brakes more often?"
Only after driving on that rugged mountain road will you realize the importance of braking more often.
"Yes, Master, but it's not possible now. It needs to be modified." Li Kailang explained.
"Take your time, there's no rush. As long as you can get it done, it doesn't matter if it's a little slower!" Zhang Jinwu comforted.
Zhang Fen and Lu Wenjiang looked at them in confusion, totally unable to understand what they were talking about, as if they were listening to a foreign language.
But since Zhang Jinwu said so, Lu Wenjiang was too lazy to ask. It was only a matter of time anyway.
When the masters on the side heard Li Kailang's idea, they all looked at him curiously.
If this idea can really be realized, it can greatly improve their driving safety, whether on mountain roads or elsewhere.
For drivers, road conditions and human factors require constant attention.
The road condition is of utmost importance, because when driving on the road, you may encounter unfamiliar roads and sometimes have to take risks.
But if Li Kailang's idea could really be realized, they might be able to drive more safely.
"Okay, let's go eat first. Take your time with your things, no need to rush." Zhang Jinwu said again.
As long as Li Kailang's idea can be realized, for safety reasons, everyone can wait a little longer.
Zhang Jinwu doesn't care whether he can earn foreign exchange or not, as long as he is safe.
The group walked towards the cafeteria, and Li Kailang was surrounded by everyone in the middle.
