Chapter 2 Charcoal Cars

"Why did you come back?" The driver complained about the repair, but there was no anger on his face.

"Hey, it's weird, usually many people have charcoal stored in their homes, just now I asked five families in a row and didn't find a piece of carbon. No, I had to find some firewood to burn. "When he came back, the driver threw a bundle of crooked sticks next to the truck.

"It's okay, let's go first, and then add charcoal when we get back." The driver closed the hood and put the tools in his hand into the cockpit, and the two of them worked together to carry the bundle of firewood onto the truck's cargo box. The driver who came back with firewood was busy again on the cargo box, and the mechanic sat in the cab and prepared to ignite the car.

There was a puff of smoke coming out of the rear compartment, which smelled like burning wood. The smoke is getting thicker and thicker, and the car "woos" and it starts! Hu Fei felt that his brain was a little insufficient, the car, didn't it burn gasoline? Some horsepower burns diesel, but when will there be a firewood-burning car? If you want to say that this car is not fueled by firewood, how can you explain the qiē he saw just now?

"Hey, brother, brother, I'm from out of town, and I want to ask you something. What was the firewood you just got for? ”

"Wood?" The driver in the back compartment didn't react for a moment, and only after he saw the half of the stick in his hand did he understand what Hu Fei was talking about. "You say this, it's fuel. Oh, you're out of town and probably don't know this yet. Our car burns charcoal, it doesn't burn gasoline! ”

Charcoal-burning cars! Although Hu Fei had already thought of this new term, when it really came out of the driver's mouth, it still surprised him.

"I forgot to bring more when I went out today, and I ran out of charcoal when I got here. I couldn't buy carbon, so I had to temporarily replace it with dry branches. The person in the carriage said a few words to Hu Fei, and the smoke became even thicker. This time, Hu Fei saw that the one in the rear compartment was not a bomb, it was a boiler! Using charcoal to burn a boiler and generate heat to drive a car should be similar to the principle of a steam train, right?

"Goodbye!" Although Hu Fei did not help, the two drivers of the truck still waved goodbye to him.

"Goodbye!" Hu Fei waved his hand, watching the magical charcoal car drive faster and faster, gradually disappearing from sight until it could no longer be seen.

"Did Phineas take a fancy to this charcoal car?" Zhang Yayi's voice came from the carriage. followed by the opening of the car door, revealing Zhang Yayi's delicate pink face. "The car didn't seem to look good, and there was a lot of smoke when I drove it. It seems that the failure rate will not be low. Zhang Yayi instinctively didn't like this kind of black smoke car. The words she said also revealed her feelings.

"Yayi's statement makes a lot of sense, but I still want it. Who left our country without gasoline? As soon as he said a few words, Hu Fei couldn't help but sigh.

After the Industrial Revolution, the rapid development of mechanization in various countries, fuel has become an important element that can determine the economic lifeline of a country. Although China's industrialization started late, the lack of oil fields in its own country has still become the biggest obstacle to national development. At present, every motor vehicle running on the street has to rely on imports for all the fuel burned, not to mention the high price, and the quantity and quality are also limited.

This kind of feeling of being controlled and being controlled everywhere is really uncomfortable! Since Hu Fei participated in the Anti-Japanese War, he has captured a lot of cars and motorcycles, but his 88th Column still does not have a real mechanized army, and the reason for this is that the lack of gasoline is one of the most important factors. Therefore, when he saw a car that did not burn fuel, the surprise in his heart was conceivable!

No matter how much money is spent, and what method is used, you have to build a charcoal car troops! Hu Fei secretly set himself the next goal in his heart. Of course, Hu Fei's main task at the moment is to find Pingle Village and let Guo Zhenggu heal Zhang Yayi's feet and neck. This problem is solved first, and then other things can be discussed.

More than a dozen miles is not too far. Even if you add the passing through the city in Luoyang City, the total distance is not more than 20 miles. More than three hours later, the carriage arrived outside the door of the Kwok's Osteopathic Clinic.

This family is worthy of being a well-known family of famous doctors, and these two doors alone are two sizes larger than those of ordinary people. There were two long lines at the gate of Guo's orthopedics, some on stretchers and some on their arms, and at first glance they were patients who came to seek medical treatment. This business is really thriving!

Murat wanted to go forward but Hu Fei stopped him. We are here to ask someone to see a doctor, there is no need to be too public, in case it causes dissatisfaction with Guo's orthopedics, it will be counterproductive. Isn't it just a queue, others can queue, so can we!

Anyway, Hu Fei brought a lot of people, so he and Zhang Yayi sat and waited in the car, and Murati took two scouts to line up in turn.

The people of the old Guo family are not slow to see a doctor. Hu Fei originally thought that it would take a long time for the orthopedic department to see a patient, but how did he know that the team he was in would move forward every once in a while, and an hour later, it had already moved forward by almost ten meters! At this rate, your own people can still be in front of you before dark! The diagnosis speed of Guo's orthopaedic bone has greatly increased Hu Fei's confidence!

Time flies so slowly! Seeing that the sun is setting in the west, it will be dinner time in a while, and I don't know if there are any restaurants in this area. Hu Fei called a scout, handed him a few pieces of ocean, and asked him to find a way to prepare dinner for everyone.

There are three people in front of him, and Hu Fei estimates that he can't buy dinner and can finish it here. Just after dinner to find a place to stay. Even if you go to a villager's house and give him a few dollars, it shouldn't be difficult for him to vacate two rooms.

Hu Fei was thinking about how to spend the night tonight, when there was a sudden chaos behind him! Turning his head and looking back, he saw a group of soldiers running over with a few stretchers, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way on both sides!" Our brother was injured on the battlefield and came to Dr. Guo for healing, you guys let me go! ”

Hu Fei was angry when he saw the posture of this group of soldiers. It's okay to say that it's one or two, just now he roughly counted that there were five pairs of stretchers carried over by the soldiers. In other words, the people in front of Hu Fei changed from three to eight at once! He still doesn't know what time Dr. Guo will get off work, if it's before eight o'clock in the evening, won't he have to wait until tomorrow?

Thinking that he would have to wait here all night and not be able to queue up, Hu Feike didn't have so much patience, so he had to negotiate with those soldiers to see if he could let him, the ankle curator, come first.
