Chapter 282 Repair Completed 1 Minus and Minus
Chapter 282 Repair Completed and Reduced
After informing everyone, Li Kailang returned to the courtyard.
In the planting space, Li Kailang arranged all the truck parts into categories according to size and importance.
After a while, all the parts were neatly classified. Li Kailang was very happy looking at the neatly arranged parts.
"We repair what can be repaired, and we reverse what cannot be repaired. Fortunately, we have a lot of equipment in our repair toolbox, so we don't have to worry about a bad repair."
"Now it's finally time for the toolbox to show its power."
Li Kailang took out various maintenance tools and equipment from the toolbox.
There are tools such as angle grinders, grinding wheels, polishers, sandpaper, sandblasting guns, and even machine tools and smelting tools.
These tools also require electricity, and there are even generators.
"With so many tools, I don't believe that I can't refurbish a new car." Li Kailang looked at the dozens of maintenance tools in front of him with great pride.
After saying that, Li Kailang put on his equipment and started working.
The workload is so huge that it certainly cannot be finished in a day or two. Li Kailang made long-term plans and directly started the time flow rate of 1:10.
"If I can't complete it, I won't leave the space." Li Kailang directly set a flag.
There are many things to do. Li Kailang first needs to check which parts are usable and which are refurbished and repaired.
There are many things.
Of course, the most important parts of a truck are the engine, gearbox, etc.
These parts have been abandoned for one or two years, and some of the internal parts have been damaged. They cannot be repaired and need to be reversed.
However, these two components are larger than the entrance of the time-travel machine, so the entire thing cannot be put in.
"Since the whole thing can't be put in, let's try to take it apart and put it back in, and then assemble it inside."
Li Kailang did what he said and started to put it into practice immediately.
After a while, the entire engine was reassembled inside the reverse flow machine.
[Resources required for backflow:]
【1. Only 2 original parts are needed to return to the original state. 】
【2. Consume 21.5 grams of gold to return to the initial state. 】
【3. Consume 75.5 catties of scrap iron and waste to return to the initial state. 】
Suddenly, a panel appeared in front of Li Kailang's eyes, and he said in delight: "It really works!"
Looking at the scrap iron and waste resources that were needed, Li Kailang turned his head and looked at a pile of scrap iron and waste not far away, which at first glance weighed hundreds of kilograms.
Li Kailang decisively chose scrap iron and waste materials.
In an instant, 75.5 kilograms of scrap iron and waste were absorbed into the backflow machine, and the engine also flashed a dazzling light.
A brand new engine appeared inside the reverse flow machine. Li Kailang carefully disassembled it and reinstalled it.
The maintenance panel appears immediately.
【Truck engine parts, no damage.】
"Good, good, good!" Li Kailang was overjoyed and re-adjusted the gearbox.
After a while, more than 90 kilograms of scrap iron and waste were consumed, and a brand new gearbox appeared.
"Once these two important parts are completed, the rest will not be a difficult task."
Li Kailang started to repair other parts and completed the assembly of the truck.
After 12 hours in the outside world, it was the next morning. Li Kailang had been in the planting space for 5 days.
During these five days, Li Kailang drank spiritual spring water when he was thirsty, ate something when he was hungry, and slept on the floor when he was tired.
"After five days of hard work, it's finally done." Li Kailang looked at the masterpiece in front of him.
The Soviet-made GAZ-150 truck, also known as ZIL-150, looks brand new.
Compared with the GAZ-150, the ZL-51 has a higher load capacity and better performance.
Its mechanical structure is relatively simple, and it is tough and durable, making it very popular among automobile soldiers.
The GAZ-150 uses a brand new chassis, air brake system, five-speed gearbox, and drive shaft with a central support structure.
Most importantly, this truck features a full metal cabin.
The GAZ-51 that Li Kailang is currently using has a cockpit made of a mixture of steel and wood.
All in all, this truck is very good, much better than the GAZ-51.
Of course, there are still some minor issues with this car that cannot be resolved.
Some parts are replaced by other parts, although they are not as suitable or good, and the original parts need to be returned.
But it’s okay for now, you can use it, wait for the backflow times to reset, and then reinstall it.
This GAZ-150 has reached the best level that Li Kailang can achieve at present, and it has all the parts needed.
Even if it was an inconspicuous license plate, Li Kailang would put it on it.
After all, without a license plate, the car cannot be driven out. If you accidentally meet the police outside, you will have to be checked.
It was originally a black car, but it still had to be checked.
Of course, Li Kailang would not drive it outside casually. He would definitely choose a dark and windy night when there was no one around to avoid being exposed.
"Okay, the truck is ready, let's find a place to try it out."
Li Kailang looked down at his watch. It was 8 o'clock in the morning, still very early.
He rode his bicycle out of the city, and after walking about ten miles, Li Kailang changed to a motorcycle.
After driving for dozens of miles, we finally changed to a GAZ-150.
"Alas--"
The engine made a sound like the roar of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the GAZ-150 went off-road on the dirt road and shuttled through the muddy trails.
"Dong Dong~" Li Kailang stepped on the accelerator, clutch, and gearbox to test the speed limit of the GAZ-150.
"Rumble--"
The truck sped along the muddy mountain road, making a loud roar. Fortunately, there were not many people around, otherwise people would have complained.
After playing for several hours, dozens of liters of oil were used up, and Li Kailang finally stopped.
At this time, the body of the GAZ-150 was covered in mud and not a single spot was clean, but Li Kailang was very happy.
The reason why we drove so aggressively this time was to test the performance of the truck and the fit of its various components to see if there was any damage.
After a while, Li Kailang's excitement finally calmed down, "Finally, I have a truck that belongs to me."
After cleaning the GAZ-150, Li Kailang carefully inspected every part of the truck, both inside and outside.
"Not bad, none of the parts are broken, and the parts are compatible with each other, so there is no impact."
After coming to this good conclusion, Li Kailang got on his motorcycle and headed for the city.
About ten miles away from the city, Li Kailang changed to a bicycle and rode back little by little.
After feeling the rapid speed of trucks and motorcycles, it naturally feels uncomfortable to ride a slow bicycle.
However, these two things were not easy to take out, so Li Kailang could only walk slowly, enduring the pain on his butt, back to the courtyard.
As soon as he got off the ground, Li Kailang's legs began to tremble, and at first glance it looked like he was dancing.
While Li Kailang was busy with his own affairs, the Siheyuan received bad news.
As soon as Li Kailang left in the morning, Director Wang from the Street Office walked in.
Director Wang asked, "Third Auntie, are all the people in the courtyard here?"
"Everyone is here, everyone has stayed." The third aunt looked at Director Wang who was in a hurry and answered in a daze.
He immediately thought of it and added, "By the way, Xiao Li just went out on his bike."
Director Wang nodded. At this time, Yan Bugui came out and asked, "Director Wang, what can I do for you?" "Teacher Yan, please ask everyone to come to the Intermediate Court for a meeting. I need to make an announcement."
Seeing Director Wang so serious, Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Okay, I'll go now." Yan Bugui responded, and shouted in the front yard, asking everyone to gather.
After a while, everyone was woken up and came to the middle courtyard with sleepy eyes.
Director Wang looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and got straight to the point: "First, from today on, everyone's food ration will be reduced by another 10%."
"Secondly, there is a purchase certificate printed on it. You can go to the street office to collect it later."
"From now on, when you buy some commodities such as baking soda, baking soda, soap, etc., they will be supplied in limited quantities and you can buy them with your purchase certificate."
"If you don't understand something, ask now."
Upon hearing that the food ration was reduced again, everyone instantly perked up and looked at Director Wang in disbelief.
Yan Bugui asked anxiously, "Director Wang, didn't you reduce the dosage some time ago? Why are you reducing it again now?"
A resident echoed: "Yes, didn't you say you would no longer reduce the ration? Why are you reducing it again?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense!" Director Wang hurriedly explained, pointing at the resident.
"I said last time that I would tell you all the news as soon as I had it. I didn't say the quota wouldn't be reduced. Don't talk nonsense."
There are dozens of people in a yard. If she is sure that there will be enough people, then she has to subsidize more than 200 kilograms of food every month. How can she be sure?
She was also notified at short notice, so how could she be sure that the quantity would not be reduced further?
"This happened suddenly. I told you guys as soon as I got the news. If you have any questions, please ask them now."
Yan Bugui asked first: "Director Wang, is this quantitative reduction based on the reduction that has already been made, or..."
Before Yan Bugui finished speaking, Director Wang interrupted and said, "The ration is reduced from the original ration, which is a 27% reduction on the basis of 2 kilograms of grain."
Upon hearing this, a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in Yan Bugui's mind. His eyes were instantly filled with fear and he stood there in a daze.
If 2% is cut off, that would be nearly 6 kilograms of grain. For their family of 6, they would have at least 200 kilograms of grain a year.
Yan Bugui's emotions suddenly became uncontrollable.
Yi Zhonghai asked again with a serious expression: "Director Wang, will the grain be cut again in the future?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Director Wang again.
Director Wang gave the same answer as last time, "I can't really explain this. I will let you know as soon as I have any news."
Seeing everyone's worried faces, Director Wang left in a hurry after she finished speaking, for she was afraid of being kept behind by everyone.
Once again, everyone was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Yan Bugui looked around, looking for someone.
After walking around for a long time, I still couldn't find anyone.
"Where is Xiao Li?" Yan Bugui asked the third aunt.
The third aunt replied: "Xiao Li went out early in the morning."
Yan Bugui was like an ant on hot pot at this time, at a loss as to what to do.
"He could be away at any time, but not at this time!" Yan Bugui couldn't help but blame Li Kailang.
The last time Li Kailang was here, he came up with a solution, which made everyone feel a lot more relaxed.
Since no one is here, you have to rely on yourself.
"Jiecheng, Jiefang, Jiekuang, let's go back and discuss this." Yan Bugui shouted, and went back home with the three aunts to discuss countermeasures.
Everyone went home to discuss countermeasures. They could still accept the previous 10% cut, after all, they had food stored.
But if they cut it again this time, who knows what they will do next time.
The food loss every month has to be made up from the stored food.
Now everyone has to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
We cannot open up new sources of income because now is the lean period and it is not time to harvest the crops.
There has been no food for sale on the black market, and food has not been sold in rural areas for a long time.
Then we can only save money.
"From today on, our family must be frugal and eat a fixed amount of food every day. We cannot eat more than what we have."
"And Jiefang and Jiekuang, don't run around when you have nothing to do. Running around can make you hungry, and when you're hungry, there's nothing to eat."
"Ah!" Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang cried out in surprise.
Yan Jiefang: "Dad, we are still growing up. We get hungry easily. If we don't eat enough, we won't grow."
Yan Bugui scolded, "Grow up, grow up, you are starving now, why are you still growing? Do you want to grow up or starve?"
What else is there to choose from? Compared to growing up, it is more important not to starve.
Yan Bugui was not unkind. "You two are right. You still have to eat what you need, but you can't get something for nothing. When you have nothing to do, help your mother and take care of your sister."
"Yes!" Things took a turn for the better and the two of them accepted it happily.
Yan Bugui looked at the third aunt and asked, "Is there any soil left from the one I brought last time?"
"There is still one bucket." replied the third aunt.
Yan Bugui nodded and said: "Take out all the unused flower pots in our house, put the vegetables grown in the yard into the flower pots, and plant more food in the fields."
"Okay!" the third aunt replied and was about to do it.
"What are you three looking at? Hurry up and help your mother." Yan Bugui looked at the three indifferent people.
"Well, let's go now." The three of them hurriedly started to operate.
As soon as the Yan family came out, someone in the yard had already started to work the land, pulling out all the vegetables that were originally planted and planting grain instead.
Everyone has similar ideas, growing crops in the fields and growing vegetables in useless pots.
Soon, there were many flower pots planted with vegetables in front of every household.
Outside the courtyard, everyone had divided up their own land. Some people pulled up all the vegetables and replaced them with grain.
But some people did not pull out the crops because they were afraid that they would be pulled out by others during the harvest.
Everyone worked until noon and finally finished the work. They planted something in every corner and the whole yard looked "brand new".
The ground was covered with traces of dirt, there were many more flower pots in front of every household, and the air even had the "fragrance" of chemical fertilizers.
Li Kailang didn't come back until the evening. He looked at the courtyard with an expression of disbelief.
He glanced at the house number, then looked at the yard. "I just went out this morning. How come it has changed so much? Is this still a courtyard?"
Li Kailang walked into the yard in disbelief.
Yan Bugui was waiting for Li Kailang to come back, and he walked over immediately when he saw him.
"Xiao Li, you're back. Where have you been? Director Wang came to make an important announcement this morning."
Yan Bugui explained what happened in a concise and clear manner.
Li Kailang nodded: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle San, for bothering me."
Yan Bugui waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, but now that something like this has happened, what are you going to do with the land outside the yard?"
Looking at Yan Bugui, Li Kailang understood what he meant. He wanted to ask him whether he wanted to take back the land.
He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Uncle, we have agreed on something and it won't change. You can take the land and do whatever you want with it."
"Oh, okay!" Yan Bugui said happily. He was talking to Li Kailang about something, either for no reason or because of that piece of land.
The matter was settled, and Yan Bugui happily went home to eat.
Today's meal is a little less than yesterday's, and it looks like just the amount that's barely enough to fill you up.
"Each person has a steamed bun. Eat it while it's hot. Starting tomorrow, eat it later in the evening to avoid being hungry and unable to sleep."
