After Li Tieguo returned to Jinhai Locomotive Depot by car for a day and a night, it was Xu Fangling who picked him up at the station, and this meeting was very familiar, and there was nothing to say, after chatting about the recent situation, Li Tieguo went back to the section first, and after arriving at the dormitory, Li Tieguo saw that Wu Laosan was not there, so he saw that it was still early.

So he went to the second-floor building to find Secretary Ge, reported it, and also wrote all the notes he had learned in the past two years and showed it to Secretary Ge, and after a few glances, Secretary Ge nodded, and said It's hard for you, it's not easy to study outside alone, and Li Tieguo smiled stupidly, saying that it was too late for him to be happy about such a good thing, Secretary Ge also smiled after listening, and then told him to follow Zhou Zhiqiang first,

There are still a lot of technical problems that he can't solve, and it just so happens that what Li Tieguo has learned may be able to be used, and Li Tieguo nodded immediately when he heard this, and after leaving Secretary Ge's house, Li Tieguo went to find Zhou Zhiqiang, and in the next half a year, Li Tieguo has been busy with Zhou Zhiqiang.

Zhou Zhiqiang respects and admires Li Tieguo very much, but many of their views are always different, Zhou Zhiqiang insists on focusing on the present, the most important thing is to solve the problem for workers' labor, how to improve the labor efficiency and working conditions of workers, how to come, and Li Tieguo insists on the future locomotive upgrading, requiring a few processes to be added to many built equipment, and then the equipment under construction must also be changed, just take the coal transportation belt to say,

Li Tieguo insisted on adding a few oil pipelines, saying that it was added now, and it would be saved to change the diesel locomotive in the future, and workers could also be trained in advance how to fuel the locomotive, but Zhou Zhiqiang insisted on disagreeing with his point of view, thinking that he did it too early and out of place, so although the two respected each other, they had great differences of opinion, and in the end Zhou Zhiqiang couldn't screw Li Tieguo, so he could only go to the leader to reflect these things.

Then the leader knew, so he came to Li Tieguo to talk, and Li Tieguo insisted on his own statement, and even took out some of the professional knowledge he had learned to explain, telling the leader the shortcomings of the steam engine and the advantages of the internal combustion engine, as well as the inevitable trend of the internal combustion engine replacing the steam engine, and after the leader listened to Li Tieguo's story, he did not deny his words, but said that he is still down-to-earth and good, if it is very difficult to work with Zhou Zhiqiang, then it is okay to run and drive,

And Li Tieguo was originally born in operation, so after listening to this, he immediately agreed, for him, it may be better to drive the train with peace of mind, and his heart is more steady, especially when he gets into the driver's seat of the train driver again, the feeling is like an old friend meeting again, and he feels very cordial,

And this opening is four years, during which he and Xu Fangling will meet every month, but they are also very busy, Li Tieguo has always hung the fullest axle and ran the farthest long distance.

In the following years, it was also a critical period of socialist economic construction, and the "Iron Bull" movement was held in the section, which later developed into a "full load, over-axis, 500-kilometer movement", and there were often many train drivers crowded at the door of the dispatching room in the section, scrambling to be the first to schedule attendance.

And people like Li Tieguo don't say it on their lips, but they are a very strong person in their hearts, so he is always at the top every month, and the price is that his personal time is only one day a month, sometimes even less than this, and Xu Fangling's side is easier than Li Tieguo.

But they also get up early every day and are greedy for darkness, so in the past six years, although the relationship between the two of them has developed into a partner, but the marriage has been delayed again and again, Li Tieguo himself doesn't care, but Xu Fangling is a yellow flower girl, and the family is not in a hurry, although she is one year younger than Li Tieguo, she is also twenty-five.

And Xu Fangling herself, like Li Tieguo, is not in a hurry at all, maybe this is a kind of trust, Xu Fangling firmly believes that Li Tieguo will marry her, including her family.

In the summer of 1959, Li Tieguo got on the train at 10 o'clock in the morning according to the schedule in the section, and went to Shanhaiguan as a passenger transporter.

After he got in the car on time at ten o'clock in the morning and left, the co-driver who followed him was none other than the old guy Zheng Duoyu, the cooperation in the past few years has been run-in, and the degree of cooperation between the two has been perfect, as long as Li Tieguo has a look or action, Zheng Duoyu basically understands what he is going to do, and Li Tieguo is the same, after all, the relationship between the two is very good,

"I heard some fellows say that the rain in Suicheng doesn't seem to be small!"

Zheng Duoyu just finished filling the coal, leaning next to Li Tieguo with a shovel, and then looked at the number of instruments on the train, looking very relaxed.

"There will be a good harvest again!"

After Li Tieguo listened to Zheng Duoyu's words, he also turned around and smiled at him, after four years of getting along and changing, Li Tieguo himself is much more generous than before, and this generosity is not to say that he is slamming the door or something, but he is no longer as sullen as before, he likes to chat when he has nothing to do, and he knows how to start a topic with strangers, and the most important thing is that he has learned to say you,

"That's right, but it's easy to flood over there through the Liao River!"

"There are pros and cons, anyway, God can't starve us to death, haha!"

Li Tieguo and Zheng Duoyu are also chatting very comfortably, after all, they are already old drivers, they are familiar with driving trains, and they are familiar with the lines they run, so they can't be nervous if they want to.

Woo~Woo~Woo~

Click~click~click~

The speed of the domestic improved huge locomotive on the railroad tracks is not slow, and it can be close to sixty or seventy kilometers per hour at full speed, so the road to Shanhaiguan is less than a day, but on the way of the train at full speed, Li Tieguo and Zheng Duoyu, who were originally comfortable, sat and sit, looked and watched, and suddenly stood up.

"Brother Li, what's that?"

Far away, Zheng Duoyu and Li Tieguo had already noticed that something was wrong in front of them in the lookout, because there would be a black and bright thing rushing towards the track in front of them, it seemed that it was definitely going to pass the track, and the train and that thing were running at the same time, and from a distance, it looked like two long dragons were racing.

"Dragons? No, you can't! ”

Li Tieguo frowned, staring at the surging things in front of him in the distance, a little dazed,

"Okay, it seems to be a flood, Brother Li, it should be the Liao River that collapsed the riverbed in the rainy season!"

Zheng Duoyu's face was almost pasted on the windshield of the train, and a few seconds later, fortunately, he was the first to react.

"it!"

Li Tieguo stared at the turbid thing that was getting closer and closer, and he also understood, and then he couldn't help but shout out immediately,

"Brother Li, this is getting closer and closer, at our speed, the front of the car will definitely be able to rush over in front of the flood aisle!"

"But..."

At this moment, it is extremely urgent, Zheng Duoyu panicked, looked at Li Tieguo and hurriedly estimated, and Li Tieguo looked at the rolling flood in front of him, it seemed that the flood was rushing down along the high ground on both sides, and the momentum was monstrous, so Li Tieguo's expression became more and more solemn, but the next second his hand was on the handrail of the emergency brake, and this action seemed to be inadvertent,

But in fact, it contains a kind of perseverance and determination of the railway people, if you continue to drive forward at full speed or jump directly on the spot now, the locomotive will definitely be able to rush over the track before the flood, but more than ten carriage skins behind the train are absolutely not passed, and the flood is like a beast, after breaking free from the shackles of the river, the original rush is fast, plus rolling all kinds of sand and mud and other debris, like a mudslide, this power only needs a rush to easily rush the train car off the tracks, and even run away or even drowned.

"Hurry up and jump out of the car!"

Li Tieguo turned his head, his face was pale but extremely stern, and Zheng Duoyu would know what was going on after watching Li Tieguo's actions, the train running at full speed would need at least half a kilometer to brake smoothly, and half a kilometer later would have reached the place where the flood had flowed, so .........

"I'm also a driver, I don't get out of the car!"

At this time, the muscles on Zheng Duoyu's face were already twitching a little, but he still shook his head firmly,

"Don't talk nonsense, Salem, don't let me worry about you anymore at this time!"

Li Tieguo has already begun to swing the handrail of the brake system in his hand, and the train driver is actually playing with this hand brake, the speed of the brake is directly the speed of the train braking speed, and the train will be turned up directly from the back as soon as he hugs the end, so the gate must be controlled at a constant speed and according to the situation of the rear section, and in this way, Li Tieguo, as the driver, must not leave the locomotive, but Zheng Duoyu can, the train has been braking at a constant speed, so he jumped out of the car at this time and suffered some minor injuries at most,

"What the hell are you looking at me! Jump! ”

Li Tieguo looked at Zheng Duoyu with dead eyes, his palms were full of sweat, including the back of the hand holding the gate valve, which was already wet, and there was a menacing flood beast not far away, but he had no way to retreat, so he could only carry it hard, if he jumped out of the car now, the consequences would be a human tragedy, so he was very firm, but Zheng Duoyu should not be like this,

And after Zheng Duoyu was scolded by Li Tieguo again, he saw Li Tieguo staring at the two big eyes that were on fire, just to let him jump out of the car quickly, so in the end, his eyes were red, he pulled open the driver's side door, and looked back at Li Tieguo in the warm breeze of summer, and Li Tieguo saw that he opened the car door, so he turned his head and looked ahead, his expression was heavy and sluggish at this time, and he didn't seem to be able to see what he was thinking at all, maybe he was thinking about someone, maybe he felt that he was in a catastrophe this time, In short, although his expression was resolute, he was also in a daze,
