It is certainly not an exaggeration to call this place the brain of the Blue Whale. The main control room can control all the equipment of the Blue Whale in all aspects, from the operation of the main engine to the work of the drilling tower, from the monitoring facilities in every corner of the platform to
The rotation of the propeller, almost everything requires the operation of the main control room.
Compared with manual operation, the main control computer takes over most of the complex calculation work. The operator only needs to click the mouse and turn on the corresponding switch to control this super machine, which exceeds 40,000 tons and is larger than a football field.
Giant thing.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the main control system of the Blue Whale is working normally, and the main cabin is ready. Do you want to start the load test?"
"Very good, we are going to carry out a load test on the Blue Whale main engine according to the scheduled plan!"
When Zhang Yujie said this, his heart was full of excitement.
The eight main engines of the Blue Whale roared, and the staff in the main engine cabin kept a close eye on these engines, for fear of any accident.
In the main control room, various data of the hosts are clear at a glance, and the operation of these hosts can even be controlled without on-site operations.
Seeing that these hosts were running smoothly, Zhang Yujie pointed to the test items in front of the operator, and he immediately understood what to do.
Compared with other main engine testing work, the main test items of Blue Whale, in addition to the most basic main engine performance, also need to conduct all-round testing of the generator set. After the main engine is running normally, the generator set can be connected and the generator set can be connected.
The powerful power generation capability is evaluated. After all, this is the real lifeblood of the Blue Whale.
With the startup of the main engine, the auxiliary energy facilities that have been providing protection for the Blue Whale began to gradually withdraw from the dock, allowing the Blue Whale to have independent production and living capabilities. Only when all load tests meet the design requirements, the Blue Whale can
Really embrace the sea and conduct various sea tests.
At the same time, after the powerful current was sent out, dozens of electrical engineers rushed around the Blue Whale, carefully checking each line to prevent unexpected situations.
At this moment, a red mark suddenly lit up in the main control room, which was a danger signal.
As an alarm sounded, electrical engineer Wang Qun quickly rushed to a row of electrical cabinets with flashing red lights, quickly browsed the data displayed on them, and then decisively turned off one of the switches.
The alarm sound still didn't stop. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out again and disconnected four or five adjacent switches one after another, and then the alarm sound disappeared.
Only then did he pick up the intercom and start calling: "Main control room, main control room, this is the power distribution room No. 3. An overage alarm has occurred here. Currently, the equipment room No. 4, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7 have been manually powered off.
The specific reason is unknown!”
"The main control room has seen it and immediately asked the equipment engineer to go and solve it!"
This incident made the atmosphere in the control room tense for a moment, and many people looked at Zhang Yujie.
There was no change in Zhang Yujie's face sitting behind the operator. Today he not only wanted to watch the Blue Whale's main engine test, but also the actions of these staff members. If a small alarm could not be dealt with, what would happen if he encountered a problem?
What to do when it comes to more difficult things?
On the vast sea, anything can happen, and even if there is no way to get foreign help.
"Commander in chief, the equipment that caused the alarm leads to the auxiliary facilities!" The operator turned back and reported to Zhang Yujie.
Zhang Yujie nodded slightly, but still said nothing. Now the main control room became even more nervous. Except for a few equipment beeps from time to time, no one dared to speak aloud.
Electrical engineer Wang Qun carefully checked the wiring in the power distribution room. Everything was installed in accordance with the specifications and there were no abnormalities. It seemed that the problem did not lie here.
A few minutes later, accompanied by a burst of footsteps, an equipment engineer quickly came to the distribution room.
"I heard that an overage alarm occurred?" Xiao Yang, the equipment engineer, was sweating.
"Yes, you see this is the alarm here, and then I disconnected this one first. After it had no effect, I immediately disconnected all these, and then the alarm was eliminated!" Wang Qun carefully told the story of the situation.
Xiao Yang looked at the power distribution cabinet and fell into deep thought. He then opened the backpack behind him, took out a laptop, and began to check where these lines were used and whether some equipment had been opened by colleagues and caused conflicts.
You must know that there are nearly 20,000 pieces of equipment on the Blue Whale, and any failure of any piece of equipment may trigger an alarm.
"Wait a minute. I'll go to the equipment room. I'll disconnect the line there first. You can reconnect it here and test it again!" After searching for a while, no abnormalities were found. So we can only use the elimination method. Although it is a bit troublesome,
It can only be the.
The equipment rooms that had their power cut off were not together, but were distributed in the intricate pipe network and cabins of the drilling platform. Fortunately, these equipment rooms were already in their minds, and the various lines were familiar to them.
You can almost find it with your eyes closed.
Even so, it would be twenty minutes before Xiao Yang turned off the power to all the equipment rooms.
"Wang Gong, your side can go online again!" Xiao Yang said.
"Okay, it has started to go online, everything is normal now!" Wang Qun said.
Xiao Yang started to supply power to the equipment rooms one by one. Because he didn't know why the alarm occurred, he was cautious every time, but there was no response. It was not until he reached the No. 5 equipment room that the intercom rang again.
"Alarm!" Xiao Yang did not find any abnormalities in the equipment.
It seems that this matter is not that easy to handle. Xiao Yang immediately disconnected the power supply and the alarm in the power distribution room disappeared again. This is where the problem lies!
Xiao Yang stared at the lines in the equipment room and fell into deep thought. If he had to try so many lines one by one, he would probably not be able to complete them in a day or two.
"It seems that we have to use other methods!" Xiao Yang said to himself. After all, it is impossible to always send a person to the power distribution room to try and make mistakes for him one by one.
Xiao Yang carefully checked the equipment inside and found that although there were many lines inside, the equipment inside was all connected to each other. Moreover, when the alarm occurred just now, the equipment was still running, but the alarm was issued.
This means that there is no problem with the circuit of the equipment. Could it be that the equipment itself is faulty?
Xiao Yang looked up the code of the device and immediately opened the installation and debugging record of the device. All engineers who handled it were required to leave their signatures on it.
Judging from the signature, there are no problems. This equipment has been debugged after installation and has no faults or maintenance.
"This is so strange! There is no problem with the line and the equipment. What is the problem?" Xiao Yang was a little undecided for a moment.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Is it because the equipment is incompatible? This is also possible. Incompatible equipment can cause instability in voltage and current, and then cause an alarm.
If this is the case, it is not something that an equipment engineer can solve.
He immediately called his boss, the equipment supervisor, and explained the entire process in detail, and then shared his guess.
"Well, you wait there now, I'll call the test engineers and designers over, and let's study it together!" the equipment supervisor said immediately. After all, there was an alarm in the main control room, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
