Chapter 262: Carjacking

Zhang Yuan's work was very busy during this time, and with the increasing number and variety of old world machinery and equipment restored from the heavy industry laboratory, the work of the entire heavy industry laboratory became more and more busy. Although the heavy industry laboratory is simply a place to display magic skills in the eyes of the current naturalized people, all kinds of incredible machinery and equipment are transported from here to a platform and put into production work, but in the hearts of the veterans of the heavy industry laboratory, it is really clear that even if it is far from the ordinary machinery factories of the old world, many consumables can only be consumed here without replenishment, if it is not for the development of the production process of welding electrodes, I am afraid that the current construction work does not know how to proceed.

Zhang Yuan glanced up at the sun in the sky, looked down at his wrist, and found that he was not wearing a watch on his wrist, so he had to take out his mobile phone from his pocket and glance at it. The screen of the phone, which had been shattered into several pieces, was covered with cracks, and the screen that had been cut into countless tints by the cracks showed 10:35. He turned around and glanced at the door of the hardware factory that was slowly closing behind him, the factory director and several hardware factory mechanics stood at the door to greet him, he waved at them a little embarrassed and said, "Let's all go in!" You're busy with your go! ”

"Chief! Walk slowly! "Chief! Be careful on the road! They hurriedly waved at Zhang Yuan and replied loudly, "Chief! Come back often when you have time! The last person who shouted quickly covered his mouth and looked at his colleague who was glancing at him in embarrassment.

Zhang Yuan smiled helplessly, walked to the convertible parked on the side of the road, sat in the driver's seat, and reached out to twist the key, but immediately reacted, "This is a fart key?" Laughing self-deprecatingly, he jumped out of the car, pulled a box of matches out of his pocket, walked to the back of the car, and opened the rear cover.

Under the rear cover is the engine compartment, which, in order to reduce the height of the convertible, did not place the engine compartment at the front of the body, and then used a long propeller shaft to transmit power to the rear driving wheels. The veterans of the vehicle design team adopted a power design similar to the Beetle, with the engine, gearbox and combustion chamber rear-mounted, which has the advantage of effectively saving space and shortening the propeller shaft, so that the material requirements for the propeller shaft can be compromised. Because the Senate Industrial Committee has implemented the Rolls-Royce gearbox design from the beginning, and has used this manual gearbox in a large number of vehicles and ships such as manpower pilot boats, so they have accumulated considerable experience in the design and manufacture of gearboxes, so the gearbox on this convertible has adopted an all-metal design, which is not only smaller in size, but also 30% less in weight than the wooden gearbox.

As for the engine, starting from the first two-cylinder Stirling engine made by Liu Shenhong himself, many types have been developed now, and now installed on this convertible is a sixteen-cylinder Stirling engine, these cylinders are arranged in a star shape along the axis of rotation, like the barrel of a Gatling gun, as long as the combustion chamber begins to burn, and the air can start to run quickly. The power of this Stirling engine was already far greater than that of the "automobile" engine built to carry flying thunder cannons at that time, and after testing it could reach an output of twenty-eight horsepower, or twenty kilowatts.

Although the horsepower output of this car is not high, but compared to the functions required by the current car, neither electric windows, nor electric injection air conditioning electric heating and many other things that seem flashy now, so this power is enough to make this convertible car drive normally on the road, you must know that the wheels now have no rubber to make cushioned tires, if you can have tires, you can also have a higher progress in driving speed and climbing. Thanks to a number of modern improvements, the convertible is also a bit lighter than a Rolls-Royce, with less than about 700 kilograms, and if it is at the front of the body, an adult can almost lift the body.

Zhang Yuan waited for the temperature of the combustion chamber to come up, twisted the start button of the engine, and with the sound of fluttering, the sixteen-cylinder engine on the car was already running rapidly, and the flywheel was rotating rapidly, driving the transmission shaft to directly input the power into the gearbox. At this time, Zhang Yuancai sat in the cab and drove the convertible car out of the door of the hardware factory.

Leaving the hardware factory, the convertible car soon left the hardened road, and now there is a certain gap in the output of cement, so the cement produced is not enough to harden all the roads in the Oriental Port, so now the roads in the factory are mainly hardened to ensure that the road conditions required for production will not affect production. Now the roads in the city are mainly mud floors, and the old district is even more desolate because of the lack of people coming and going recently, and weeds have begun to grow everywhere.

The construction committee once proposed to pave all the roads of the Oriental Port into a 10-centimeter cement pavement, but the Executive Committee rejected this proposal, in fact, the Executive Committee has a small idea that is not known to everyone, that is, first use all efforts to build the Champa Port, and then relocate the whole city of the Oriental Port to the Champa Port, and then demolish the Oriental Port to rebuild a modern new urban area, so that a huge city can accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of people without being too crowded, and the water, electricity and sewer facilities are complete, The pressure on health and epidemic prevention will not be as tense as it is now.

In order to realize this small idea, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ito Army were immediately engaged in the demolition of the port of Champong, and now nearly a year later, the demolition of the city has been basically completed, the sewer excavation known as the "conscience of the city" has also been basically completed, and the next step is to lay the rainwater pipes and reserved line pipes. Bao Bao, who is in charge of urban construction work, has been in good spirits for a while, taking Newton back and forth on the huge construction site of Champa Port every day, while Newton carries the instrument behind the master's ass every day, compared to Newton's much harder, in addition to being instilled with the concept of urban construction every day, but also to learn cultural knowledge from the master's old friends. But although he was very tired, he had a smile on his face every day, as if he had never felt hard.

Zhang Yuan drove slowly on the bumpy road, and in front of him was the famous stockpiling area, which was actually a garbage heap at that time, and all kinds of leftovers that were not used for the time being would be sent here, and then different leftovers would be sent to different factories for recycling and reuse. The police headquarters cooperated with the medical department to carry out several sweeps, and the sick and dead were sent to the purification camp, and the unqualified ones were sent to the welfare center to let them do what they could, and the disabled who were really unable to work were directly sent to the Haichao Temple for ideological education. At the very least, it's better to let them learn something than to sleep in the stockpile every day as a hidden danger and an audience.

There aren't many people in the stockpile right now, except for some masked workers who are picking up something that can be recycled and throwing it on the cart behind them. Zhang Yuan slowed down, and there was no one on this road at the moment, especially not a single child.

At this moment, the Oriental Port has a strict compulsory education policy, and any family with children aged more than one year and under two years old is required to be sent to a nursery school, and can be given full and half care as needed; Children from the age of two to under the age of six must be sent to kindergarten for basic education, so that children can learn to communicate with each other from an early age, and can also obtain basic knowledge training, so as to avoid being caught off guard when they suddenly enter school; Children from the age of six to the age of 10 are sent directly to Dongfanggang Primary School for formal education, starting with Pinyin Mathematics and then gradually joining the Chemistry and Physics curriculum. Using this teaching method, the first thing is to let the students know the words, as long as they know the words, then they can read the operation manual by themselves, and even if they don't understand, there will be no obstacles to communicating with the workers around them. The reason for learning mathematics is to familiarize students with weights and measures, how to see at least a ruler, how far a meter is, how much a kilogram weighs, so that they can at least have a little bottom of their hearts, so that when they are working on the work, they will not be blackened by the eyes of the responsible technicians and have to teach them how to do it.

Because of the subtraction of many of the unpractical courses in the old world, the primary school in Port Orient is taught for five years, and at the end of the fifth grade there will be a big exam, and the results of the examination will determine the future of the students - students with unsatisfactory grades will be sent to technical schools to learn how to operate production machines and other work skills, and after graduation they will be selected to work in various factories to contribute to the senate with their practical operations; Of course, the good grades are those who enter junior high school, begin to get in touch with chemistry, physics, geography and other courses, and carry out special training, which is a professional subject in the old world language. After the end of three years of junior high school, they will face the examination screening of junior high school students, junior high school students are definitely in demand now, even if they can't go to high school, they must have received a nearly complete senate education, which can be selected by various departments and then let each "cadre training class" be trained, and then enter the management positions of various departments after the training is completed; Students who can enter high school are basically the pride of the sky in this time and space, in fact, the ability they have mastered is enough to walk sideways in this time and space, and the scientists and theorists who can smash any theory in this time and space are full of gold stars, they will receive a very complete old world high school education in high school, and their final destination is various research institutions, to reverse research the technology of the old world, to reverse copy the products of the old world, and finally achieve comprehensive modernization - this point The vast majority of the elders are more pessimistic, No one thinks that they can see the arrival of this day, although it is said that in many crossings can even launch satellites in the Qin and Han dynasties, but after really crossing over, only technology is useless, only mastering technology and can fully transform technology into productivity can be done.

If you want to develop, you must master science and technology, and if you want to play with science and technology, you must improve the level of education for all, and the only option to do this is to carry out comprehensive education, whether it is the elderly, adults or children, whether it is a man or a woman, as long as you become a naturalized citizen in the port of the East, mastering knowledge is an absolute priority. Every year, the workers have to carry out a cultural assessment, the assessment directly affects the title, and the title directly affects the income, so every naturalized citizen is full of energy to learn all kinds of knowledge at the moment, even adults in their thirties and forties who can't learn are holding notes in the window every morning to recite the minutes, and the whole Oriental Port is full of a kind of energetic learning energy.

A few pedestrians at the intersection in the distance were standing on the side of the road looking at the convertible car coming here, and when they got closer, they found that the driver was the veteran, and hurriedly bowed slightly to Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan also bowed slightly. It was not mandatory to bow to the senators, but it was a popular custom among the naturalized people today, and they had a heartfelt respect for the senators who gave them work, paid them wages, and provided them with food and drink.

In the middle of the road stood a policeman wearing a white rattan helmet, and when he saw the veteran's car coming, he hurriedly saluted Lizheng. Zhang Yuan also bowed his head slightly in return, but at this moment, he saw that the policeman suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the few people on the side of the road, and shouted at the same time, "Chief, run!" ”

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, but I saw that those people suddenly pulled out the short knives and short guns hidden in their bodies, and rushed towards Zhang Yuan's side, the policeman rushed forward and hugged one of the people with short firearms, and after two scuffles, the firecracker finally lost his patience and directly pulled the trigger to knock the policeman to the ground. The other people didn't stop at all, but just rushed towards Zhang Yuan's convertible.

Zhang Yuan was stunned and didn't react, his foot couldn't help but let go of the accelerator, and when he hurriedly stepped on the accelerator again when he remembered, the distance between the two sides was quite close, and it was too late to speed up. The first man stepped on the front bumper, jumped on the front cover, raised the short knife in his hand, and was about to chop it down.

Zhang Yuan was completely soaked in cold sweat at this time, and hurriedly hung up a reverse gear, almost stepping on the accelerator to the end, wanting to go backwards. He suddenly felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, and he remembered that in this case, he would often be directly suffocated to turn off the fire, and now in this case, if the vehicle turned off, he would have no way to escape. However, at this time, the vehicle not only did not turn off, but jumped backwards, and the figure was pushed back six or seven meters, and the short knife hand standing on the front cover of the car was unsteady for a while, and rolled down and fell to the ground.
