Karasu Pass is located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The geological environment is very harsh. There is not even any vegetation. It is full of rugged rocks and potholes.
It's difficult to walk, let alone drive, on the entire surface of Mars.
This is also the reason why the Kongkazan military camp can only use horses and mules to carry supplies, and ordinary vehicles cannot.
As a result, everyone saw Commander Cao driving this small car freely in the rugged mountains as if he were walking on flat ground.
Either speed up or turn around quickly. No matter if there is a big pit or a slope ahead, you will pass through it quickly without any hesitation.
The military commanders present were all professionals and immediately noticed the extraordinary qualities of these Shandong cats. They were all excited:
"Great, great, this car is great. It's perfect for maneuvering in harsh environments."
"How come he's as agile as a loach? That's amazing."
"What kind of car is this? I've never seen it before."
Commander Cao came back from a tour, feeling very proud:
"See? This vehicle is not only highly maneuverable, but look at what's welded on it? A machine gun mount. We can put a heavy machine gun on it and fire while driving. It's a perfect infantry armored vehicle, isn't it?"
"Oh, can weapons be mounted on this?"
"This is a great idea. We can just shoot and move to another location. It's perfect for our guerrilla warfare."
"Lao Cao, get down and let me drive for a while."
A group of military leaders began to study the Shandong cat enthusiastically, but there was also a group of smart leaders who followed closely behind Leader Jing and Lin Sanqi.
Because they think those big trucks are the good things.
How can a small car be as important as a big truck?
Lin Sanqi led everyone to the front of the truck and introduced:
"Leaders, these trucks are custom-made for the plateau. They have plenty of horsepower and can carry a lot of cargo. They can carry up to 90 tons and can be attached to different semi-trailers."
Looking at the tall red trucks in front of them, everyone sees them as products of high technology.
Lin Sanqi pointed to the rows of trucks and said;
"These are all large tanker semi-trailers parked in a row here. Each tanker alone can hold 35 tons of diesel. Our transportation routes are very long, and cars will be grounded if they run out of fuel. These tanker trucks can serve as mobile gas stations."
Regarding logistics, our fuel supply must first be kept up. As you can see, these large trucks can carry a lot of cargo, but they also consume a lot of fuel. We want the trucks to run fast, but we also need them to have enough fuel."
Leader Jing nodded, knowing that this was a difficult task, but also a problem that had to be solved.
But what Lin Sanqi didn't know was that the big trucks built these days are really a waste of money.
For example, the old Jiefang truck consumes 40 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Sometimes the car is too old and the fuel consumption may be as low as 50 liters.
The J6P plateau version tractors that Lin Sanqi obtained have a fuel consumption of only 20 liters per 100 kilometers, which is far lower than that of large trucks of this era.
Leader Jing circled the truck a few times and asked curiously:
"Why is there Chinese characters all over this truck? Look, there are two big characters called 'Liberation' on the roof."
Lin Sanqi was a little embarrassed and could only explain:
"Our base uses simplified Chinese, including the names of our roads, such as Changsha Road and Hunan Road, which are synchronized with the domestic ones.
In addition, our factory names are all based on domestic geographical names, such as Changchun XX Factory, Shanghai XX Company, etc., which are almost the same as those in China.
However, if you look carefully, you will see the difference. The fonts are different, and the writing method is also different. We are used to writing from left to right.
The customary writing style in China is from top to bottom, or from right to left, and uses traditional Chinese characters."
Fortunately, the fonts of the two eras are different, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
As for the possibility that decades later, when people visit a museum and suddenly discover that these cars and planes might have come from time travel, that is no longer Lin Sanqi's business.
By then he will either be dead or abroad, whatever happens to him.
In order to change the subject, Lin Sanqi brought a few people to a semi-trailer container and took out an iron pot and a gas stove.
"Commanders, look, this tank is called a gas tank. It stores natural gas, and this is called a gas stove."
A military commander nodded and said:
"I know about gas stoves. I worked underground in Shanghai before liberation, and they had these gas stoves there. They don't require firewood or coal, and light up instantly. They're very convenient. But the gas stove I see here looks a little different."
In 1855, the American Hodgton Anton Smith invented the world's first gas-fueled household heating device. At that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi was still visiting the Summer Palace.
Shanghai is the largest city in the Far East. All kinds of fashionable and advanced gadgets can be found here, but the prices are often sky-high and only a few people can afford them.
Lin Sanqi gave a thumbs up and said:
"Yes, this is gas. Our soldiers are short of fuel on the snowy plateau. It's very difficult to have a hot meal or drink hot water. With this gas stove, we can light a fire anytime, anywhere.
In addition, this is called a pressure cooker. Kongkashan is more than 6,000 meters above sea level. As we all know, as the altitude increases, the air pressure gradually decreases, which causes the boiling point of water to decrease accordingly.
In plains, water needs to reach 100 degrees Celsius to boil, but on the plateau, water may only need 70 degrees Celsius to start boiling.
Some people may think, in that case, just cook it a little longer.
But the truth is, when water starts to boil, the temperature remains constant because, as it reaches its boiling point, it transitions from a liquid to a gas. As this happens, the water vaporizes into steam, taking away heat and making it harder for food to cook further.
In order to cook food better on the plateau, I specially found this pressure cooker.
A pressure cooker can increase the air pressure inside the pot, thereby raising the boiling point of water and keeping the water temperature rising without boiling, thus ensuring that food is fully cooked. This makes the pressure cooker the best cooking tool for the plateau."
Leader Jing understood, but he glanced at the officers surrounding him and said with a smile:
"Comrade Sanqi, I understand what you mean, but what the hell do you think they know about altitude, temperature, and pressure when you talk to these uncouth people?"
Hahahaha~~~Everyone around burst into laughter.
Xu Tianxing silently picked up a pressure cooker, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
In the Kongkazan area, cooking is actually not a problem, but it is too difficult to cook it thoroughly. Most of the time, our soldiers can only eat half-cooked food.
This led to a large number of gastrointestinal diseases, either diarrhea or constipation after eating, which was very painful and seriously affected morale.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianxing silently took out a kettle, added water to the pressure cooker, covered it tightly, and then started to light the gas stove.
When the onlookers saw this, they all looked over curiously.
Because there was not much cold water, the pressure cooker soon emitted bursts of steam, and the air outlet valve on the top began to operate rapidly.
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "Commander Xu, the water is cooked."
Xu Tianxing looked at his watch and was overjoyed:
"Great, great, this is truly a magical tool. Comrade Sanqi, you've solved a huge problem for us."
Lin Sanqi pointed to several other containers and said:
"I've sent over 10,000 sets this time, which should be enough for you to use in Kong Kazan. Also, it's freezing over there, so I've also prepared a large amount of energy bars, chocolate, and candy to help increase your soldiers' calories.
In addition, there are hundreds of containers of canned meat, canned fruit, compressed biscuits, and sausages. Once they are shipped up, our soldiers will have meat to eat and vitamins to supplement. They no longer have to eat snow water with fried rice noodles."
Xu Tianxing was about to cry:
"Comrade Sanqi, you are truly so kind and generous. I really don't know how to thank you enough."
Leader Jing patted Xu Tianxing on the shoulder and looked at Lin Sanqi:
"Did you bring the medicine? This is also very important."
Lin Sanqi pointed to several white containers:
"All the medicines are there. In addition to my family's secret medicines, I also brought a lot of antibiotics. They are all cephalosporins or floxacin-type, and they are all oral. I am afraid that the liquids will freeze.
"Besides, most injuries in war are external, so I've also prepared tens of thousands of clearance bags, containing everything from suture needles to gauze to sterile cotton balls. When you need to use something, you just open it and it's a complete set, and you can throw it away after use."
A senior figure nearby exclaimed, "Wow, so advanced? Comrade Sanqi, can you show it to us?"
Lin Sanqi opened a container, took out a white box from the box, and opened it on the spot:
"Heads, look here, there's a curved plate, a needle holder, a pair of straight scissors, a pair of curved scissors, a knife handle, two hook forceps, two tissue forceps, several gauze dressings, and a drape.
These plastic bags contained different sizes of round and angle needles for suturing tissue and skin, as well as suture threads of varying thicknesses. One bag contained iodine, the other contained alcohol, both for disinfection.
If an emergency truly came, we would simply take one of our family's ancestral 'Duanxueliu Pills' to stop the bleeding within minutes, and then quickly perform debridement and suturing. It was incredibly convenient and efficient." (End of chapter)
