Chapter 733: Crawler Vehicle, Circular Saw
Simply put, among those three little devils, the old guy was a very, very important person because he had come to the Northeast to do bad things, but he came during the later stage of the war.
As for the two young devils, they were bodyguards, and they were basically useless.
And that Mount Shitou was a base built by the father's generation of that old guy.
It was just that what Wang An didn't expect was that their main purpose for coming to China wasn't that Mount Shitou; their going to Mount Shitou could only be considered incidental or on the way.
As for their purpose, Wu Dong didn't say.
Anyway, according to Wu Dong, because of those three, everyone who participated in this operation received merits of various sizes.
The ones who gained the most merit were Wu Dong and Wang Shuai, because their work was responsible for these affairs.
As for Zhang Shuya, because of the difference in position and nature of work, the merit was much less compared to Wu Dong and Wang Shuai.
And He Liang, Ma Guoqiang, and Sun Liang were just strolling around and picked up a merit for nothing.
Although the merit they got wasn't very big, who would dislike a small merit that came for nothing?
In short, it was because these six second-generation kids caught three devils and got quite a few benefits, and they wanted to thank Wang An, so they wanted to give Wang An something.
Wang An wanted to decline again, but Wu Dong said very firmly, with an appearance of "take it or leave it," anyway, the sand and steel bars would definitely be unloaded at his door.
After hearing this, Wang An sucked his teeth, and for a moment, he truly didn't know what to say.
The main thing was that these few little devils were merits to Wu Dong and the others, but to Wang An, they were actually a big trouble.
He didn't dare to kill them, and didn't want to let them go; they were simply useless things.
So Wu Dong and Wang Shuai and the others could make merits, which could be considered what they deserved.
After thinking, Wang An said with a chuckle:
"Alright, then thank you to all my different-father-different-mother brothers and sisters for your care, hahahahaha."
Upon hearing this, Wu Dong was genuinely quite happy, patted Wang An on the shoulder and smiled:
"That's right, you have to give these brothers and sisters of yours a chance to express themselves."
Upon hearing this, Wang An laughed along with him.
After a while, Wang An suddenly said with a chuckle: "Hahahahaha... Anyway, it's about the same, so Brother Wu, you might as well get me a circular saw, and prepare a few more saw blades, hehehehe..."
A circular saw, also called a dragon gate saw, as the name suggests, is a circular saw. Simply put, it uses a diesel engine as power to drive a very large circular saw to cut wood.
This kind of saw can not only saw wood but also saw stone, but the saw blades used for the two are different.
After Wang An finished speaking, Wu Dong was stunned. The main thing was that Wu Dong never expected that Wang An, who was declining before, would make a request now.
In fact, Wang An had no choice. The main thing was that in this era, if you want to turn wood into wooden boards, the vast majority of ways are to use the "pull big saw, pull big saw" method, bit by bit to saw the wood open.
To tell the truth, this method is truly too slow, and the people pulling the big saw are also genuinely exhausted after a day.
Although Wang An's family already had a chainsaw, the chainsaw wasn't suitable for sawing wood into boards.
If he had a circular saw, Wang An could use the diesel engine of the four-wheeled vehicle or the walking tractor to drive it to saw wood.
Fortunately, Wu Dong reacted quickly and said: "That's a small matter. A batch of equipment arrived at the Forestry Bureau recently and is being assembled. I'll just find someone to ask for two, and then have them send them to you together the day after tomorrow."
Wang An waved his hand upon hearing this:
"No need for two, one is enough, just prepare a few more saw blades."
Only seeing Wu Dong say indifferently:
"One is asking, two is also asking. Since you've opened your mouth, you have to get it all. Besides, having a spare one isn't redundant."
Wang An smiled:
"Yeah, indeed, haha. Alright, Brother Wu, then we'll go. My father and second uncle are pulling cement and walking back. I'm worried about such a heavy vehicle breaking down on the way."
Wu Dong said hurriedly upon hearing this:
"Yeah, that small vehicle pulling a load of cement is truly tough. Alright, I won't keep you, I'm busy too and have to go back to the unit."
As they spoke, the three walked toward the crawler tractor together.
The starting of a crawler tractor in this era is different from that of a four-wheeled vehicle and a walking tractor, because this thing doesn't have a rocker, and there's no place to insert a rocker.
This crawler tractor has a circular starting disk. The middle part of the side of the disk is concave, forming a groove, and there is a notch next to the groove.
When starting, you tie a knot at one end of the rope, jam the knot in the notch, wrap the rope around the disk, and pull the other end of the rope very fiercely.
Of course, at the same time, don't forget to decompress.
After starting the crawler vehicle, Wang An stepped on the crawler and entered the driving cabin, and Wang Li followed and climbed up.
Perhaps for the convenience of teaching, there was a stool that could seat people behind the right side of the driving seat in the driving cabin, and Wang Li sat on this stool.
Waving to Wu Dong, Wang An stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the gate.
This crawler tractor doesn't have a steering wheel, nor is it a whole steering handle like a walking tractor.
This thing controls direction with two independent pull rods, and these two pull rods often need to cooperate with each other.
This thing has to make a big turn to turn, so many times if you want to turn around, it's not as convenient as reversing directly.
On the road, Wang An shouted loudly while driving, teaching Wang Li how to drive the crawler tractor.
It must be admitted that compared to the noise produced by four-wheeled vehicles and walking tractors, the noise of the crawler tractor is genuinely invincible.
This thing not only has the engine ringing, but the whole vehicle body is ringing, and the vibration of the crawler tracks on the ground is even more of a feeling that can vibrate directly into the bones.
Wherever the crawler tractor passes, it can be said that the whole ground can feel the vibration.
So, driving this thing is even more uncomfortable than driving a walking tractor.
Wang An shouted once, and Wang Li nodded as if he understood, but Wang An saw Wang Li like this and knew he didn't understand.
It's also possible he didn't understand, but didn't hear clearly at all.
Consequently, Wang An shouted again.
