Chapter 189 - Barrel Carriage

How to stop a train weighing more than 100 tons and traveling at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour is a very serious problem - especially when the four of them find that the four of them together have no way to open the connection between the passenger car and the front of the car.

Chiba climbs up the damaged brake mechanism at the front of the car, and then finds that the mechanism is buried in the iron sheet at the front of the car.

For steam locomotives, as long as the cylinder is burst, the brake cylinder can drive the brake shoe to rub the wheels and slow down the wheels.

But at most, Qianyu only knows a little about the models of classic steam locomotives, and really doesn't know much about the internal structure - such as where the cylinders are at the front of the locomotive. (It also includes where the gas pipe connected to each car is connected, otherwise Qianyu will directly use a gun to blow up the gas pipe and the train will brake.) )

"We've got eight and a half minutes left," Conan said, glancing at his watch. "Is there anything else you can do?"

"I don't think there's much hope of stopping the car," Chiba said with a frown. "We'd better prioritize whether there's a way to jump out of the car."

"At a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, jump one and die another." Conan spreads his hands. "Unless you have a pair of roller skates, and you grab the back of the train with your hands, climb down slowly, and then slide your roller skates over the tracks. But this one is completely unworkable. ”

"So we're going to pad something." Chiba suddenly came to inspiration. "A table may do!"

"What?" Conan, Gray Plains, and Hiroki Zhuxing all looked confused.

"Conan and the stars, you go and tear down the long curtains in the aisle, tear down ten, and bring them to the last carriage!" After saying that, Qian Yu ran to the passenger compartment behind him.

。。。

Qianyu came to the last carriage - a locomotive with more than twenty barrels of red wine.

Sure enough, it's a wine barrel... It was even easier to do than I had expected ...

Qian Yu removed the lid of the red wine barrel from the bottom layer one by one, allowing the red wine in the barrel to pour out of the barrel

It's a pity that the amount of red wine is not enough, otherwise it might be possible to make this car into a closed buffer... Now you can only make a fuss with these barrels. (The wine in the original book is only about 80 centimeters deep...) The buffering capacity is terrible, and there are iron shelves or something, where there is no difference between buffering with red wine and looking for death. )

When Conan and the others hurried back to the last carriage with ten curtains, they were almost untouched by the work that Qianyu had rushed out - four barrels with one or two less lids, and the walls of the barrels and the rest of the barrels with lids had been more or less cut a few times.

"Help me carry the bucket to the roof of the car!" Chiba saw Conan and they came back, and just ordered. "Hurry up!"

"What are you doing here?" Conan asked, picking up a barrel.

"A new carriage, of course." Chiba lifted another barrel. "Hurry up! We're running out of time! ”

"A new carriage?" Picking up the barrel, Zhuxing Hongshu wondered.

"yes," Chiba said. "Make a carriage out of barrels."

When the men moved the barrels to the roof of the car, Chiba took out the two axes from the carriage, tied the two curtains to the roots of the iron part of the axe, and finally hung the tip of the axe on the skylight at the top of the carriage - if the curtain was pulled to the rear of the train, this pull would be converted into the pull of the tip of the axe against the frame of the sunroof and the bottom of the wooden handle of the axe against the top of the carriage and downward pressure.

After that, Chiba put a barrel without a lid on the lidless end of a barrel with only one lid, and used a curtain to pass through the gap in the barrel body to secure the barrel. In this way, the four barrels become two long barrels.

In the third step, Qian Yu used a curtain to stuff the gap between the two barrels, attached a strap between the two barrels, and used his two fingers to insert the curtain into the wooden barrel to fix it - so that the distance between the barrels could be fixed to the extent that Qian Yu wanted.

Finally, Chiba used the remaining curtain to extend the curtain on the axe and reach into the barrel through the slit cut in the lid.

In this way, a simple track running device tied to the last carriage by a curtain was seated.

"You carry this," Chiba handed his backpack to Gray Plains. "The gun in this is very heavy, so that the weight difference between you and Zhuxing Hongshu can be offset to a certain extent, and this device will not have problems due to the weight difference between the left and right."

"Thank you." Gray Plains Wailing put on his backpack.

"Stars and trees, you climb along the curtain to the left—that is, the bucket far from the abyss; Gray Plains, you enter the bucket close to the abyss, so that even if the stars are heavier, it will only carry the bucket to the mountain, and will not fall off the cliff. ”

"We'd better hurry... Conan glanced at his watch, and his face turned anxious. "Two and a half minutes or so."

"Climb in!" Qian Yu urged loudly. "Climb in and grab the curtain sticking through the lid of the barrel, and I'll put you on the rails, and we'll climb in again!"

When Ash Yuan Ai and Hiroki Stars climbed into the barrel, Chiba went to the skylight, grabbed the curtains on the two axes with both hands, and pulled the curtains to the point where they could only allow the barrel to fall from the end of the train. The lower half of the body is completely submerged under the skylight - if you don't fix yourself like this, Chiba and Conan are too light, and even if the two of them combined, they can't smoothly put down the two barrels that add up to more than 60 kilograms.

Conan carefully pushed the two barrels to the point where they were about to fall off the ends, then pushed them lightly, then grabbed the curtains tightly.

As the two barrels began to slide downward, Qian Yu was immediately dragged up, and it was only by relying on the strength of his legs that he was not pulled out of the skylight. And Qian Yu couldn't just pull the curtains, he also needed to slowly send the curtains outward, so that the two barrels could finally touch the rails.

As Chiba continued to lower the curtains, the height of the barrel became lower and lower, and the end of the barrel began to touch the rails with the sudden screech of the wood rubbing against the rails. Eventually, as the pull felt on Conan and Chiba's hands suddenly decreased, the two casks landed completely, and the distance between the two casks was fixed because Chiba had previously tied the curtain to the barrel with his fingers—the distance between the two casks was about 150 centimeters, just over the 143 centimeters of the English rails. In this way, the two barrels can be straddled perfectly on the rails and will not be thrown out easily.

"That's it!" Conan said to Chiba.

"Okay... Qian Yu crawled out of the skylight and shook his hand with bared teeth. "It hurts to death... That, I'll go to the side of the stars later, and you go to the other side. Once inside, you take the rope from the lid of the bucket from the guy's hand. At the end of the train, we need both of us to let go of the barrel so that it doesn't lose its balance, so you'll need to get the guy to shoot. She fired the fifth shot and we let go of the rope together. “

"You go to the Gray Plains!" After Conan listened to Chiba's plan, he vetoed Chiha's distribution plan. "First of all, you're heavier than me, so you can balance it out when you go over there. Secondly, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, how long are you going to be nothing? Finally, stop arguing with me, we'll have no time to hide if we drag it on! ”

"You..." Qianyu was silent for a moment and rolled her eyes. "Okay, okay... So be it ... ”
