Chapter 406: Machinery (I)

After that, the two of them each identified themselves, and they gradually became familiar with each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The middle-aged uncle's name is Puno, and he is the only staff stationed at this station, and he has been staying for a long time, about ten years, and he has been roughly familiar with the surrounding situation in his heart for a long time.

"I didn't expect people to come to this station. Puno said with emotion, taking out a new metal cup from the cabinet next to a large table, and gave Kasia a full cup of cold coffee, with a different aroma, "There is nothing good anymore, the climate here is very drastic, and it is difficult to keep fresh things for a long time." I don't drink alcohol myself, I used to drink it, and every time the train stops here, I always ask them to bring a case of wine. But once I drank too much, I delayed things, and I almost died, so I quit since then. I'm the only one here, and it's not good to get drunk. ”

Puno said he was pleasant and took out a few more bags of biscuits to eat, there really wasn't anything decent here. Kasia shook her head and said she didn't mind.

"It's been a long time since anyone got off here, and there are no supplies to replenish recently, and those high-speed trains also symbolically stop here, as long as it is recorded in the difference machine, they will leave immediately, and there will be no time at all. Puno continued, in fairly smooth sentences, "No one from the army has come lately, and I haven't seen them for more than half a year, and they will only come early when the retrain is about to come over." Normally, there is no shadow of a person here except me. There used to be someone here to accompany me, and one of the children I picked up, apparently abandoned by his family, was at the last station. ”

"I was crying a lot, and I didn't know how to go, and there was no one at the last station to ask for him, only that my family left by train, so I walked all the way along the railway line. But the direction was reversed, and it came to me. Puno smiled, as if he was talking about happy things, "When I walked here, my voice was hoarse from crying, and I was still crying. But fortunately, otherwise, the brown bears and other ferocious animals around me would not have been able to come to me. ”

Kasia laughed along.

As he spoke, Puno finished drinking the half cup of coffee in the metal cup just now, threw a few biscuits into his mouth, and then poured a full cup of cold coffee into the cup again: "The communication machine is broken, and I have been doing it all afternoon, but it is still not good, and I haven't eaten a bite of rice." He explained, and then it suddenly occurred to him to ask Kasia why she had come here. It's never going to be sightseeing, it's definitely going to be something.

"It can't be here to replace me, is it?" asked Puno with a cautious expression, but it was clearly pretended, "It's surprising that the group of people who manage the railway line can think that there are still living people living here." I haven't paid my salary for a few years, so I should forget about it. I used to think about leaving it, but when I think about it, it's not too big or too small, so I finally stayed here. You can live here, and every time you move a lot of daily necessities from the army retrain, you can live here. The pocket money is also earned by selling animal skins, which is the group of guys on the high-speed train, a few good captains. ”

"No, just stop here for a while, and go to the front. ”

"Soldier?" Puno looked Kasia up and down, he wasn't wearing a military uniform, and he didn't have the obvious smell of a soldier, probably a student, he thought.

"It's really similar in stature. He commented, "It can't be a newspaper reporter, is it? The captains often bring me old newspapers and books." ”

"Sort of. Kasia nodded, not wanting to say too much about it, "So I wanted to ask how to get to the battle line from here, there is nothing else around except these buildings." ”

"It's a bit of a problem. Puno said regretfully, "Your luck doesn't seem to be very good, and the communication equipment just broke down today." It doesn't matter if you can fix it, but I worked on it myself all afternoon, and I read the manual several times, but I still can't find a way. ”

"It's the only tool of contact here and on the front side. Puno gestured to the communication machine beside him, "If anything happens here, it will reach the Imperial troops on the front line through it." There was no means of transportation, and the back walk was all mountainous, a very wide wilderness, which was used to separate the areas of the battle line. The army also came here on their own small train, the one with only a few carriages. If there is a retrain coming here, it is that kind of thing to move the goods. The size and target of the retrain are too large, and it is very easy to attack, so it is not allowed to run directly down the railway line into the battle line. ”

"That's all what I've heard from those people in the army for more than ten years. Puno added, "It was the child who was abandoned by his family, and when he got older, because of the frequent re-listing in previous years, he became familiar with the people in the army, so he followed the soldiers who came here and ran into the army." It's still peacetime, and it's not clear how long it will take for the fight to start, and there's no choice, so it's not a very authentic thing to let him follow me to guard this station. ”

Kasia nodded in agreement.

Puno said sentence by sentence, "Later, he was also sent to the battle line, but now he is also a lieutenant, and I don't know the specific rank." He still comes to see me occasionally, and I'm half his father. The smile on Puno's face wrinkled slightly, "Those shotguns are the ones he got from the army, and so are the film machines, otherwise no one would be here for long." ”

Kasia asked if there was any other way, it was okay to go to the front on his side, and it was not important whether to inform the army or not.

"It doesn't seem likely. As he spoke, Puno had already finished eating a bag of biscuits, "I'm trying to repair the communication machine, I've been using it for a few years, although there are frequent problems, but I can solve them by myself, and I don't know what's going on this time." There are also a few houses here, and there are quilts and other things, so it is not a hassle to stay here at night. There is no charge, it's all free. ”

Puno smiled, "Do you want to see what is going on with this communication machine?" When I was young, I came out very early, and I didn't read much, and if it weren't for the fact that it was written in detail, I wouldn't have done anything about this machine. ”

Kasia nodded, and took the somewhat worn-out manual, which was easy to understand, and it also listed some solutions to the problem, and at the end the model of the communication machine.

Sure enough, it was military equipment, but according to the model numbers, Kasia recalled the general rules in the empire when compiling serial models for various types of machines, and judged that this was obviously a painted and refurbished communication machine, which was already a obsolete product more than ten years ago.
