As soon as I heard Chen Zaihai's words, my head was completely confused. What the? This train is speeding! I immediately looked at the round dial that Talia had just spotted resembling a water meter. The heart said it wouldn't be true, and with the last experience in the cab, we still know what it means

The old master told us that driving this kind of steam locomotive is actually very simple. Adding coal, adding water, stepping on the door, pulling the rod, it can be summed up as just a few steps. However, the risk is also very large, this train is different from high-grade diesel locomotives, all her structures are old-fashioned and outdated poles, and the safety is far less than that of internal combustion engines.

The complex mechanical structure has led to the frequent failure of this model, and a bad handling will cause a terrible accident. Coal cannot be added or less. If you have more, you will be speeding, and if you have less, you will not be able to carry the wagon. The water should also be replenished at the station in time, otherwise the boiler will have a very big problem.

What steam locomotives are most afraid of is the aging of the boiler, and if there is a leak of air accidentally, it is very likely to produce a steam explosion that destroys the car and kills people.

And in all accidents, the most common is the derailment of the train caused by speeding. This thing doesn't have the speed limiter that you would normally find on a train. As much coal you add, it will run as fast as it goes, and there is no negotiation at all.

Now I really want to take out that blind furnace and shoot it down, how can I add coal like this? Isn't this looking for death? The dial shows that the speed is almost 200 kilometers.

Maybe this speed is nothing for ordinary trains, and every time we take the train because of the mission, we often reach this value. But now we don't care about the passenger car for the purpose of transporting people, but on the truck carrying a push, no, a big push of goods!

The weight of the two trains as a whole is not at the same level at all, and it is impossible for anyone to allow a freight car to reach this speed. The weight of the truck itself is very good. It's troublesome to accelerate. Now that it's at this speed, how long has this thing been running in the tunnel?

"What to do! Is there a way to slow it down? Talia asked anxiously, she didn't know anything about trains, and could only stare at us.

"There should be one used to brake the air pressure gate for the train, let's look for it quickly." I proposed.

I remember that the brakes of steam locomotives were exhaust brakes. Compressed air is produced by a wind pump from the front of the locomotive, and then the compressed air pushes the brake cylinders of each carriage through the connecting rod to drive the brake shoe brake wheels. There must be a control gate or lever for this device in the cab.

The three of us immediately began to scramble to find it. After looking for a while, Chen Zaihai first found that the three-defense suit on his body was too obstructive, so he took off the three-defense suit in three or two clicks and came back to continue looking. It was very hot in the cab, the coal poured into it was burning, and the three of us were soon drenched in sweat.

"Is it this lever?" Talia asked, pointing to an iron in a corner.

"This isn't! This is the steering stick! Operate the entire train forward or backward! Chen Zaihai glanced at it and said.

"What about this?"

"It's also a steering stick, but it's just for controlling the locomotive." I said.

Talia also seemed to be a little anxious, but she didn't have any knowledge of this at all, and she didn't have any effect after helping for a long time, but she almost made herself dehydrated.

Chen Zaihai asked her to find a place to rest in her three-defense suit, to be honest, if she continues like this, she will only help. Although it is a bit of an exaggeration to say this, it is true, and blind kindness can often lead to disaster.

"And what is this iron plate?" Again I heard Talia's voice behind me.

"I said, ancestor, didn't you let you have a good rest?" Chen Zaihai turned his head a little collapsed and said. "Don't point around, can we not see what you can find? We didn't care, it just means it's not a brake gate! ”

"But this thing is a little weird." Talia finds herself feeling like a burden and acts a little upset. She stood up and walked to the upper left corner of the cab. It was next to the boiler and steam pipes, which was very dangerous, and Chen Zaihai and I had always been taboo about paying attention to it.

I wanted to stop her wherever she was going, and for that place, Talia was no different from being bare. I really don't want to see any damage to Talia's fair skin, it's cruel for a woman.

"Su Zhenpeng, you don't have to worry about me, I know where and where it is." Just as I walked up behind her and tried to pull her back, Talia reached out to stop me. "There's a strange iron plate in that place!"

I immediately turned to Chen Zaihai for help, and at this time he also stopped the question at hand and looked directly at Talia.

"Are you sure there's something in there?" He asked.

Talia nodded.

Chen Zaihai squatted, covered his mouth with his right hand, and kept rubbing his already bearded cheeks, as if he was struggling with something.

But after a few seconds, he seemed to have figured it out. Patting the dirt on his pants, Chen Zaihai walked straight to Talia. "Where's that thing? I'll take it out for you. ”

Talia said that the strange iron plate was stuck in the gap between the boiler and the steam pipe, and she had just seen it by inadvertently shaking the miner's lamp.

As soon as I heard it, I felt that it was not that simple. Generally speaking, there will be no iron plates in that kind of place, and the ventilation is smooth, and there are no too large dead ends, which is the design concept of this thing. It's okay, there's absolutely no reason to put an iron plate in it. My first instinct was that someone was hiding this thing on purpose.

Chen Zaihai brought a sapper shovel from the outside, stretched it, and moved the shovel head again, it seems that he wants to use the function of the shovel pickaxe. In order to facilitate the use of engineers, the second generation of sapper shovels has many functions in design, and shovels and pickaxes are just two of them.

"Lao Su, you take a light for me. Let's take a look at it. He waved me along.

Judging by the results, don't you kid want Talia to face danger? It's good to get on your own, and you're going to pull me into the water, if I really get burned, I'm definitely not done with you. I thought helplessly, and finally turned on the copper flashlight.

As soon as I approached the steam pipes, I felt a wave of heat rushing over my face, and every pore on my body opened to the maximum. Sweat was raining, this place was so terrible, my eyes were so hot that I couldn't open them. If it weren't for the fact that this place was too cramped to be unwielded, I wouldn't have taken it off. Now I really admire the three train drivers who let us visit the head of the steam engine at that time, they have to face such hellish karmic temperatures all year round, which is really amazing

Following the spot of light from my flashlight, we quickly discovered the iron plate that Talia had mentioned, and it was stuck at the junction of the two pipes. Chen Zaihai carefully did not let himself touch the hot pipe next to him, and at the same time stuck the shovel in.

"I said Chen Zaihai, don't you think this thing looks a little familiar?" I kept staring at the iron plate during this process, and gradually a strange sense of familiarity broke into my heart. I always felt that this thing was something I hadn't discovered all along, a very important thing

Chen Zaihai himself seemed to be extremely concentrated, and did not make any answer. Little by little, it hooked the iron plate with the curved part of the pickaxe of the sapper's shovel. Then he slowly retracted the sapper shovel with trembling arms, and it was evident that he was very nervous in the process.

This kind of work really can't be done by Talia, and next to Chen Zaihai, her face looks almost ugly at this time. Eighty percent of what she wants to do now is on her own.

After spending so much time together, we have overcome obstacles and saved the day again and again, and I have discovered that Talia actually has an impulsive side. She gradually deviated from the feeling we had when we first met, which was actually a good sign. At first, I was just a vase sent by the Soviets, who didn't understand anything, and pointed fingers at us, as most of the Soviet experts I've ever met.

If you think about it carefully, from the first time she asked me about Chen Zaihai, I had a vague sense that she was different from all the other Soviets I had seen. Now I'm even more sure of that, she's a very kind leader, a very reliable teammate. Flesh and blood, crying and laughing, most of the time strong-willed, strict and serious in doing things with her adoptive father Ivan, although sometimes she will show her unknown side to Chen Zaihai, but these performances make her more like a whole. Not everyone is able to completely separate personal feelings from work tasks like Ivan.

Talia is already doing well, but I can't do it like her.

A few tense minutes passed, and with the sound of the collision between the metals of the "clang" life, the iron plate was finally made out by Chen Zaihai. The moment he took it out, the guy fell backwards as if he had collapsed, sweating profusely. So much so that he didn't even notice that the iron plate he had taken out was trying to smash it himself.

In fact, the iron plate itself is not big, and if it is placed flat, two people's feet cannot step on it. The problem is where it has been before

That place is a steam pipe, and it is conceivable that the temperature of this iron plate must not be low.

"Chen Zaihai!" "Danger!" Talia and I shouted out at almost the same time, and we all knew that Chen Zaihai must not be able to avoid it now. At the same time, we stretched out our arms to try to pull the iron plate away.

With a bang, I thought I heard something kick the iron plate, and then the iron plate flew to the side of the cab and fell down with a screeching sound from the floor.

"What are you doing?" Chen Zaihai looked at the two of us strangely. "What about acrobatics?"

It turned out that Chen Zaihai had already discovered the danger of the board, and he kicked the iron plate away before it was smashed.

And Talia and I are in the weird position of one of us holding out a hand, standing in front of him, and there is nothing more humiliating than that. Talia's face immediately turned crimson, and she didn't know whether she was ashamed or hot

"! I said I looked familiar! Chen Zaihai, who had gone to observe the iron plate earlier, suddenly shouted. Isn't this a fucking valve! ”
