Chapter 113: Pickup
Hou Dalin is very happy to be this mascot, here, on the surface, he has a high status, little responsibility, and few things.
Secretly, he is a mascot, a character who doesn't care if he has him or not.
This made Hou Dalin very free, for example, he now turned into a master and began to train his apprentices.
Of course, it is impossible to just open a small stove for Xiaopang, the main thing is that it is too wasteful of energy. Since they have all become masters, of course, they are called all the maintenance workers here, and then collectively talk about the technical characteristics of some major equipment maintenance and the essentials of operation.
Hou Dalin is not unforgiving, he came here this time, and another purpose is to find a hand for his maintenance station in the capital. This person does not necessarily have to be very skilled, but he must be loyal, have a flexible mind, and be willing to live in the capital.
The reason why I didn't find such a role among the locals in the capital was mainly because I didn't feel necessary at that time, and of course I didn't meet a suitable one.
This time, he has been away for a long time, and he feels that he doesn't have such an apprentice, which is really a little awkward.
Hou Dalin is currently planning to take this little fat man away, although this guy has an average mind, average education, and more average skills, but the advantage is loyalty, at least it seems like this at present.
Loyalty is very good, technical knowledge or something is time to learn, as long as people are not stupid, they will always learn.
Hou Dalin stayed in the maintenance workshop for three days, and explained everything that should be said to the maintenance workers here, and the rest was to let these people explore and practice more.
"Chubby, come here!" Early in the morning of the fourth day, Hou Dalin came to the maintenance workshop and took the little fat man out.
"What's the matter, Master, are you looking for me?"
"Well, something, you just follow me these days, I'll take you to do something."
This can make Chubby very happy, and the master will take him alone, what a great opportunity! Not only him, but even the other workers were a little red when they heard it.
Now everyone here knows that Hou Dalin is the leader of the capital terminus, and the second substation is still under the management of the terminus. That is to say, even the stationmaster Yang here does not have Hou Dalin's official university!
What kind of shit luck did this little fat man go? can be favored by such a big leader! I knew that they also went to wash Hou Dalin's feet.
In the factory, the apprentice serves the master, and no one will say strange things, let alone look down on you because of it. They really didn't know that Hou Dalin had such a big background!
By the time I found out, it was too late, and the little fat man had already taken the lead.
"Master, what are we going to do?" Xiaopang asked questions while giving Hou Dalin a hand.
"I want to get a car, you don't know, the two tractors I brought over have been confiscated by Director Yang, and now there is no car, it is really inconvenient!" Hou Dalin replied while he was busy.
"What? We build cars? Master, just the two of us? "The little fat man was surprised, I know that Master is a cow, but you don't have to be so good, right? Just the two of us, you said you want to build a car! Are cars that easy to make?
"Who said they were going to build cars? Let's build pickups! ”
"Pickup? What is a pickup? ”
The little fat man's words really stopped Hou Dalin. How do you explain this? It stands to reason that the word pickup is transliterated. But Hou Dalin didn't want to say that, and that kind of thing was likely to be said to be a foreign admiration, which is a very serious crime at the moment.
"Pickup trucks, it's durable trucks!" Hou Dalin forcibly explained.
"We're going to build trucks! That's great! In the future, our second station will be famous! The little fat man said excitedly.
Hou Dalin is not as excited as him, it is okay to get a few cars, if you really want to say that large-scale manufacturing, there is no such condition at all now.
If nothing else, there is no way to solve it with tires.
Today's tire production capacity may not exceed 10,000 tires in the whole country. This greatly restricts the development of various vehicles.
No tires, develop a fart! Hou Dalin's space can't be made out of thin air. His ability lies in renovation, not in a vacuum.
For example, the tires he prepared for this car were retreaded with scrapped tires from a nearby mine.
But even scrapped tires are not easy to find, generally speaking, scrapped tires are also to be handed back to the tire factory, Hou Dalin is on the basis of a bunch of scrapped tires, "refined" enough rubber, this is to make five tires.
Hou Dalin and his apprentices worked for more than half a month before knocking out the car little by little.
This means that Hou Dalin does not have the skills to open it all, and if he does so, he probably won't use it for three or two days.
The whole pickup truck just looks like a pickup truck, and the engine is a 24-horsepower diesel engine. This one he secretly made out of space.
The external statement is that it was brought back from the capital, and no one will run to verify this, and besides, they don't know where to verify.
At this time, the head of the pickup truck is quite short, which is caused by the diesel engine being placed horizontally in order to start the "crank handle". Although the exhaust pipe has been modified, the sound characteristic of a single-cylinder diesel engine is still very noticeable.
The fuel tank could not be on the side of the car, but on the front bonnet. Including the water tank, which is also the biggest difference between this diesel engine and the tractor, Hou Dalin canceled the natural evaporation and heat dissipation method, and changed it to a water tank and a fan.
The car had only two doors and a long, narrow seat in the back, but it could barely sit people. Behind it is a simple carriage, similar to the wagons at this time, made of wooden planks.
The common configuration of later generations, there is no such configuration here! Even this car doesn't even have a wiper! The only thing that can be familiar is probably the crank of the window.
The whole car is a lot smaller than the pickup trucks of later generations, but although it looks small and ugly, the off-road ability is not to be said.
Hou Dalin drove comfortably for himself. The shock absorption system is specially designed, and the seats are made of the best materials available, using the most advanced design concepts of later generations.
Hou Dalin got into the car, and although his left foot was a prosthetic, it did not prevent him from stepping on the clutch. The little fat man was responsible for shaking the start, and after the diesel engine sounded, the little fat man ran to the co-pilot.
Reversing out of the garage, Hou Dalin drove out of the car that was not even painted.
The novel shape immediately attracted the attention of the whole road. The chubby little chubby on the side proudly wanted to shout a few times in response to the beckoning and smiling of the big girls on the side of the road.
Hou Dalin just likes this little fat who has never seen the world, in order to highlight his calmness and calmness.
Pickups always run a little jumpy, which is not a big problem, and single-cylinder diesel engines are normal to jump around.
After Hou Dalin waited for the car to drive onto the gravel road, he wanted to test the speed of the car.
