53 Preconceived Thought Orientation
Liang Jincang knew that when the vehicle was damaged to this extent, even if he beat Shi Guoliang to death, he would not believe that he could drive the vehicle back.
This is related to the limitations of the times.
It doesn't mean that I am more skilled than Shi Guoliang.
First of all, in this era, people don’t know that batteries are afraid of freezing, and they don’t know that low temperatures will reduce the battery’s power.
Of course, he would not have thought that heating the battery would increase the power - he would find it incredible if he said it.
You may think that electricity is electricity, so how can it have anything to do with hot or cold?
In fact, what he doesn't understand is that heat is actually a kind of energy.
The battery, to put it bluntly, is a reaction box for energy conversion.
Since batteries can convert chemical energy and electrical energy back and forth, they can also convert thermal energy into electrical energy.
Therefore, it can also be understood as the limitations of knowledge and cognition.
There is another one. As a former automobile soldier, Shi Guoliang has excellent driving skills and strictly abides by operating regulations. However, the side effect of being too strict is that it limits his imagination.
Or am I more creative in my wild ways?
"Master Shi, I promise you, I am 80% sure that I can drive the car back."
Shi Guoliang continued to remain silent in the darkness.
Although Xiaoliang's tone sounded normal, the content was so crazy that he didn't know what to say.
Liang Jincang continued:
"Master Shi, the situation we are facing now is a bit serious.
The car broke down in the middle of the road, and there was no village or shop in front of it. There was not even a passing car on such a small road.
Just in time for the severe cold weather, it was getting dark again, so I went back to the factory to ask for help, but the water far away could not quench my thirst.
If it is not handled properly and frostbite occurs, the matter will be serious.
I know you don't believe that I can drive back in the current condition of the car, but if there is no better way, why not let me try?
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it’s better to give it a try.”
When Shi Guoliang heard this, he thought it made sense.
Anyway, the situation is already very bad. Let Xiaoliang try and it won't get any worse.
Before he could speak, Zheng Shuye in the car spoke: "Master Shi, I think Xiao Liang is right. Since he has a way, let him try it."
I don’t know why, but now Zheng Shuye actually believes in this Xiaoliang.
Maybe when she was rocking the car, her heart was shaking and her blood was boiling. This preconceived first impression created a kind of ideological guidance for her.
When one thing is done right, everything is right.
So before Shi Guoliang could say anything, she couldn't help but express her opinion.
Shi Guoliang finally made up his mind:
"Okay, I'll just trust you for once and see if you have any good ideas?
From now on, everyone will obey your command, including me."
Well, just do it.
The first step, of course, is to warm up the fire.
People need to be warmed by fire, and batteries also need to be warmed by fire.
The fire is right next to the battery. Liang Jincang needs to control this personally, because if it is too close and the temperature is too high, the battery will explode.
The electrode solution inside is dilute sulfuric acid, and it's not fun to explode it.
There are commonly used simple tools in the tool box that comes with the car. Liang went into the warehouse to remove the spark plug.
It was not completely dismantled, only the few that were not working.
As for which cylinder is working and which is not working, repairmen usually test it by cutting off the power when the engine is running.
Liang Jincang made sure by touching the exhaust branch pipe with the engine turned off.
Because the cylinder that is not working has a low temperature in the exhaust branch pipe.
Although metal conducts heat quickly and there is not much difference in temperature between working and non-working branch pipes, Liang Jincang found out which cylinder was not working based on the feel of his hand and the slight temperature difference.
The three spark plugs that were removed were all soaked in oil.
Shi Guoliang knew that three cylinders were not working, but seeing Xiao Liang remove the non-working spark plugs so accurately made his eyes widen even more.
Could it be that this kid's eyes are more effective than the hospital's fluoroscopy?
But he still couldn't believe that he could drive the car back just by doing this.
What's the point of removing the spark plug accurately? It's soaked in oil and useless.
There are no spare spark plugs in the car.
Then he saw Xiaoliang setting the spark plug into the fire.
Shi Guoliang was speechless.
It turns out that Xiaoliang is half a bottle of vinegar.
Because mechanical common sense clearly stipulates that "spark plugs are strictly prohibited from being burned by fire."
It seems that Xiaoliang doesn't even understand basic common sense.
But Shi Guoliang had a very good impression of Xiaoliang, and of course he would not be angry with him like Wu Xingang. When he saw Xiaoliang making such a mistake, he immediately reminded him:
"Xiaoliang, according to regulations, spark plugs are strictly prohibited from burning."
Liang Jincang kept moving his hands, continued to burn the spark plugs, and said with a smile:
"Master Shi, don't mind if I say something bold.
When we farmers arrived in the county town and couldn't find any toilets, we would just look at the wall that said it was forbidden to urinate and defecate.
The book says that spark plugs cannot be burned by fire, which means that spark plugs can be burned by fire."
Shi Guoliang couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.
This statement is obviously unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be some truth to it.
After the spark plug was burned out, Liang Jincang cleaned the carbon deposits on it, adjusted the electrode gap, and then reinstalled it.
I touched the battery and found it was warm.
He took out the work clothes that Master Shi usually wore under the car when repairing the car, and wrapped it around the battery.
This made Shi Guoliang even more speechless. Why did he feel like he was playing tricks on others?
How can anyone put human clothes on a battery? Why are you covering the battery?
With these things ready, Shi Guoliang got in the car and stepped on the accelerator.
"Master Shi, step on the accelerator as far as it will go and don't move, don't squeak on the gas." Liang Jincang started to crank the car.
This time, he didn't even need to turn in circles. Liang Jincang only shook it to a compression level, and "boom--" the engine caught fire.
"Master Shi, blast the oil!" Liang Jincang shouted.
Shi Guoliang continued to add fuel, and the engine roared.
After banging for a while, I slowly and tentatively released the accelerator.
Shi Guoliang couldn't help but excitedly patted the steering wheel. He, grandma, had stabilized the idle speed.
Zheng Shuye, who was standing next to her, asked timidly with a trembling voice: "Master Shi, are you ready?"
Shi Guoliang nodded repeatedly with an excited smile: "Okay, at least the engine is ready!"
Although the muffler blew out and the engine made a loud "blah blah blah" sound, it didn't sound so unpleasant when idling because it ran smoothly.
At least it doesn't sound weird anymore.
Shi Guoliang kept laughing. Although he didn't say anything, he began to believe Xiaoliang in his heart.
Maybe he could actually drive the car back.
But I still can't believe it. No matter how good the engine is, you can't drive it if the clutch is broken. How to deal with the broken shift fork?
Liang Jincang's answer was that he drove without a clutch.
Shi Guoliang almost pulled out the crowbar and hit him twice. This was obviously not a human speech, how could it sound like a curse?
Even those with poor driving skills can't shift the gear into gear using the clutch, the gear clicks, and the synchronizer is burned out.
Now you drive without a clutch?
Moreover, the synchronizer in the gearbox of this car was also removed!
Shi Guoliang was speechless.
But looking at Xiaoliang's full confidence, we can only let him play.
Liang Jincang is now directing everyone to work again.
Find some big rocks, jack up the rear wheels first, then stuff the rocks under the rear wheels, support them with a few rocks, and make a slope with a lower front and a higher back.
Both rear wheels are blocked with stones like this.
Then he asked two people to climb onto the rear of the car first, each holding a rope. When the car started to move forward slowly, he asked the people pushing the car below to grab the rope and climb onto the car.
He also repeatedly told me to climb up from the rear side of the car and never from the front side.
Because in my memory, I have seen examples of him climbing on the front side of a car, slipping out, and the wheels immediately ran over him.
Then Liang Jincang got into the driver's seat and stepped on the brakes instead of Master Shi.
As soon as he released the brakes and the rear wheels of the car moved forward along the slope of the stone, the person behind him pushed the car with all his strength.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Liang Jincang to give the order at the last moment.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Including Wu Xingang, who was nestled on the floor in front of the driver's seat.
At this moment, including the driver Liang Jincang, there were a total of four people in the cab.
Zheng Shuye is the daughter of the director of the commune. Besides, it is impossible for a girl's family to let her lie on a log in the cold weather and snow.
As for Shi Guoliang, giving the car to someone without a driver's license has seriously deviated from his strong principles as a veteran.
Even if Xiaoliang is regarded as an apprentice, the master must never leave the cab.
At the same time, for veterans with strong principles, if the cab is allowed to seat three people, it must not seat four.
In Shi Guoliang's driving career, there has never been a fourth passenger in his cab so far.
Wu Xingang, who had a broken arm and was still bleeding, probably couldn't sit on the wood behind him.
You can't tie him to a log behind, right?
Under the special circumstances tonight, it seems that Master Shi has to make an exception.
But it can't be broken entirely, or half broken.
That is to say, Wu Xingang can still enjoy the treatment of staying in the cab, but he cannot sit on the car seat, but curls up under the seat.
In this way, instead of seating four people, it can be considered as seating three and a half people.
Shi Guoliang was sitting in the middle. Zheng Shuye looked past Master Shi at Xiaoliang in the dim light. The man's side face looked sharp and angular, giving people a sense of majesty in a trance.
