Chapter 407: Machinery (M)
"Here, that's what used to be a common problem. "Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Puno leaned over at this time, pointed to the entry on the manual and said to Kasia, "In the past, you just had to follow the steps step by step, but this time it can't." I didn't know exactly what the problem was, so I simply tried one by one from the beginning of the manual, but nothing happened. ”
He walked over and turned on the switch of the communication machine again, and the electronic murmur immediately came out, filling the entire room: "It's still like this, I think it should be that the parts in it are broken, otherwise I wouldn't have tossed for so long without any reaction." ”
"Let's take a look first. Kasia let out a sigh of relief, this time with him tinkering with the machine. It's a lot faster, and although I haven't had much contact with such communication equipment, it is very fast to operate with my own familiarity with machinery.
Sophisticated things, communication equipment, to some extent, are on the same level as complex machines such as differential machines and analysis machines. Without strong professional knowledge, or some suitable tools, relying only on a palm-sized manual will not make a real difference at all.
In the end, Kasia came to the same conclusion as Uncle Puno, that the internal components of the machine should be broken. Things that have been used for more than ten years have long been scrapped in terms of lifespan.
"The army hasn't been here for more than half a year, and maybe it will come suddenly in the next few days. Puno comforted at this time, "The movement is very loud, you can feel it far away, and you can wait a few days." Why don't you go and get what you're going to use tonight? I didn't have any tools, and I didn't know how to fix the internal structure, so I had to leave it there. ”
Kasia nodded, and that was the only way to do it for now. He dragged his luggage and followed Puno as he walked to the other rooms.
"There are eight houses in total, but only six are in use now. There are two houses with a difference machine, and the power equipment here, a large steel tank for steam. It's just that the thick iron gates are locked, and they can't get in without the password cards in the hands of those people who manage the railway line. Puno introduced at the front, and after a few steps stopped in front of a door and opened the copper lock with the key hanging from his waist.
It is a small storage room in the station, and the air inside smells like it has been preserved for a long time. Many things, most of them are objects that can be stored for a long time, and some commonly used utensils in life are also among them. There are also many dried and rusty parts in one corner, which seem to have been disassembled from somewhere, and they are of different shapes. A thick quilt tied with cords was on a wooden shelf by the wall, and Puno came out with a bed and led Kasia to a vacant house.
Turn on the light, and there is only a simple single bed and table. There is no dust, and Puno still pays attention to cleaning these rooms in normal times.
The air inside was a little dull, so Puno turned on the heating duct and pushed the window open to speed up the air circulation. Cool light shone through the window into the hazy darkness ahead, and a gloomy dark cyan shadow could be seen obscuring half of the sky in the distance.
It was only then that Kasia saw that there was a small idle vegetable garden in front of the house, and that it was completely deserted in the distance. There are several pieces of black image stickers hanging in the air like them. The light couldn't get there, but with Kasia's eyesight, he could barely see what seemed to be a rusty iron sheet, scattered there.
"It's still winter, and the little vegetable garden that I have cleaned up is abandoned. The vegetables I usually eat are either brought by high-speed trains that run every few days and half a month, or I run to the mountains in front with a shotgun to dig them. There are still a little, but not much. ”
"I don't have anything to do. Kasia put the salute aside.
"yes. Puno agreed, "I used to go hunting in the wasteland with a shotgun, there were a lot of hares, and I made some small traps, and if I was lucky, I could eat myself for a week or two." Sometimes if you are unlucky, you will encounter wild boars, which are very fierce, and although the shotgun is powerful, you still have to get injured if you are not careful. Especially now in this weather, the wild boar is also hungry and irritable, but the strength is much greater, and I don't dare to go out. ”
Puno continued while checking what else was needed in the room: "I still remember when I first came here, when I was young, I didn't have a shotgun to hunt, and I still had a salary at that time, so I stayed here diligently every day. When I was bored, I went to the abandoned locomotive not far away to disassemble the parts and tinker with them for a while. The body was so strong, and it took a lot of credit to move those parts at that time. ”
He pointed not far in front of the window, where there were a few shadows of black stickers in the blurred night, "That's it, it's all scrapped by the army." When I first came here, there were only half of them. It's piled up so much now, but every time the army comes, no one comes to repair it. Military products are all high-quality steel, all money, how good it is to sell scrap iron. I used to think about this, but after tearing it down a lot, I found that there was no way to sell it at all. ”
"I can't afford to pay for the shipping fee. Cassia answered.
"It's true that when I was young, I was still very impulsive, I didn't think much about it at the time, and I worked in vain for so long. Puno nodded approvingly.
"Do those things still work?"
"Use?" Puno didn't understand what Kasia meant, "it's all bad, you can fix it, but you can use it." I think the attitude of those officers in the army is probably to treat them as scrap metal. It also takes time and manpower to deal with it, and they want to leave it completely like this, and then slowly turn into a pile of red rust under nature. But the quality seems to be a little too good, and after so long, there is no obvious effect. ”
Puno shook his head, he didn't quite understand what the officers were thinking.
"Remember to close the windows at night, although the iron net is pulled far away, but it is not impossible for the wild boars and brown bears to come in. Puno reminded, "Just call me something, our room is just across the room, and the louder it can be heard." ”
"Thank you. Cassia said.
"No, this is my job as a station employee, although I haven't been paid for several years. Puno waved his hand, "Don't worry about the communication equipment, maybe it will be fine tomorrow." This has happened before. In the end, he didn't forget to comfort him like this.
