C357 The Direction Is Stuck
C357 The Direction Is Stuck
Most of the trucks were made of iron and inside were made of iron. But this heavy truck in the north was made of plastic inside. In a cold winter, this was simply too good. If one accidentally touched the iron sheet, it would definitely stick. Now, it would be fine if he touched the plastic.
Liu rolled up his coat into a roll and placed it on the pillow above his head. There was no need to cover it anymore.
Wu Lei had already turned on the warm wind in front of him.
For cars, having air-conditioning was a luxury. Even the most advanced heavy truck in the north, the car's air conditioner was only a choice of equipment. For most drivers, air conditioning was a luxury. Having an electric fan was enough. What air conditioner was there?
However, it was different with warm air. In a cold winter, without warm air, people would die. Fortunately, compared to the air conditioner that required energy consumption, the warm air was no longer needed.
Originally, the engine was hot when it was working, and the heat needed to be emitted through the water tank. Anyway, no matter where it was, it was still a warm wind. After setting up a track, it would spread into the car, and that was the warm wind.
Wu Lei had turned on the air conditioner. It was quite warm in the driver's seat. He didn't even need to wear a coat. He only needed to wear a sweater. It was freezing outside. It was really warm inside the car!
Wu Lei stepped on the accelerator fiercely and the car rumbled as it started moving. According to his previous experience with Old Liberation Car, the accelerator of the car... He had to do it till the end to get the strength. Now, if it wasn't for the fact that they were stingy with the new car... He would definitely do it till the end.
The car rumbled as it drove out of Grassland City and onto the road to the capital.
Something was not right.
As he drove, Wu Lei felt strange. This steering wheel... It was getting heavier and heavier. When he was driving an empty car just now, he could easily rub it with his hand. After loading the goods, he would need two hands. And now, with two hands, he was swinging the steering wheel. Why was it so strenuous?
Now, he was almost at the same time as the Old Liberation Car's energy-consuming steering wheel!
"Puchi!" Wu Lei stepped on the brakes and parked the car by the side. He had to check it himself.
The car was pulled a lot, so he usually had to check it carefully.
When he opened the car door, the cold wind outside blew over. The bone-piercing cold wind instantly made Wu Lei sneeze.
"What's wrong?" Liu asked from behind, "Is the car broken?"
As a security guard, Liu had been to many places. In the past, the car he followed would often malfunction. When it was at its coldest, he guarded the car for more than ten hours. He waited for the driver to find a mechanic.
Now, this was a new car. Could it be broken?
"No, check it, check it," the driver said. He carried a crowbar and went down. He wrapped it around his coat and knocked on the wheels one by one. If any of the wheels had a problem, he could knock on them and come out.
If the wheels had run out of air, the tires would have been destroyed. A tire was worth thousands of dollars.
After a round, there was no problem. When Wu Lei opened the car door, he looked at the steering wheel and found nothing unusual.
Let's continue!
They got into the car and started the fire again, but the direction was lighter?
Wu Lei was very puzzled.
They continued to walk forward. Time passed slowly, and the sky darkened.
Wu Lei drove the car and could not help but yawn." Hey, come down and chat."
If one didn't want to be tired, they could smoke. Therefore, most of the drivers were smokers. Wu Lei hadn't gotten used to this yet. Now that he was tired, he could find someone to chat with.
After sleeping for so long, it's time to get up.
Liu crawled over from behind. "It's really comfortable up here. It's just like the hot stove at home."
Below the bed was the engine. Lying on it was the same as sleeping on the hot bed.
"Turn on the radio. Let's hear it." Liu stretched out his hand and twisted the radio in front of him.
This car was too advanced. It even had music facilities and cassette tapes! Of course, in this era, there were very few people who had a recorder at home. There were no cassette tapes to play, so they could only play the radio.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's play the weather forecast now..."
Wu Lei was also happily listening to the radio. At the same time, his eyes were looking forward nervously. It was a downward turn. The slope was very big and the curve was very fast.
"Puchi, chi, chi." Wu Lei stepped on the brakes twice and the speed of the car dropped. Using the time when the car slowed down, he changed the gear holder with his right hand and successfully lowered the gear slot.
Driving must not be fierce, especially when it came to going downhill. It was very easy for accidents to happen. Although Wu Lei did not drive for a long time, he had heard a lot of things.
He could not go downhill fast. If he stepped on the brakes a few times, he would lose the performance of the brakes because of overheating. Even in the coldest winter, it would not work. The brakes could even be worn on fire.
Slow down, be careful!
At this moment, Wu Lei heard a creaking sound coming from the inside of the steering wheel.
What was going on?
Wu Lei was shocked. His speed was not fast, but if there was a problem with the steering wheel, he would not be able to make it past the bend and would rush down the road!
Thinking of this, Wu Lei tried to move the steering wheel. When he moved, he felt a chill in his heart. The steering wheel could not move anymore!
He stood up and held the steering wheel hard, but the steering wheel did not move at all!
"The direction is malfunctioning!" Wu Lei shouted loudly, "Jump out of the car, quickly jump out of the car!"
Liu was shocked. Jump out of the car? Would he fall to his death?
"Quick, quick!" Wu Lei shouted.
He pushed open the car door, and in the darkness, Liu steeled his heart. With two kicks, he jumped down!
"Ouch!" Sure enough, when his legs touched the ground, he could not help but roll down and scream in pain. The car in front was still charging forward.
"You should also jump down!" Looking at the light beam of the car, there was no road in front of him. Liu was also very anxious.
At this moment, Wu Lei did not think about jumping down. This car was his property. If something happened to this car, then his life would be over.
He had to control the car!
He exerted force again, but the steering wheel still did not move. It seemed like the car was stuck inside.
Since the direction could not be moved, he had to stop the car!
Thinking of this, Wu Lei stepped hard on the accelerator. At the moment when he stopped the accelerator, his hand had already acutely removed the gear lever, and then he slammed the accelerator into a low gear!
The two foot throttle technique was a necessary way to change the gear when driving. Wu Lei practiced it very well on the Old Liberation Car. As the engine roared, he held it in.
Lower the gear and use the engine to brake. If he only relied on the foot brake, it definitely wouldn't work!
Wu Lei stepped on the brakes, and then continued to lower the gear!
The speed of the car kept slowing, but the turning point was getting closer and closer!
Wu Lei stepped on the brakes, and following the sound of the air being compressed, it resounded through the night sky. Whether it was successful or not, it was this one step!
