Xiao Zheng was stunned by Wu Tian's words and said curiously, "How do you know that our instrument is malfunctioning?"
Wu Tian sneered and said, "This is my old profession. Didn't I tell you that I specialize in mechanical repair? Normally, a cruise ship of such a large tonnage is equipped with at least four propellers, and the propellers are driven by electric motors.
, rather than being directly driven by the turbine, but I couldn't hear the rotation of the motor at all. Once the motor failed, many instruments in the main cabin would stop, so the captain left the broadcast room and appeared with a loudspeaker. I said
Is that right?"
Xiao Zheng looked at Wu Tian in shock and said, "You are so professional. Do you really understand this?"
Wu Tian immediately took off his coat and said, "Stop talking nonsense and take me into the captain's cabin quickly. I can help!"
Xiao Zheng nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, but please change into our work clothes, otherwise I won't be able to take you to the captain's room. If other tourists see you, there will definitely be trouble."
Without saying anything, Wu Tian immediately picked up the crew uniforms handed over by Xiao Zheng, and while putting them on, he said, "How many motors is this ship equipped with? How many are normal?"
Xiao Zheng led him to the captain's cabin and said, "To tell you the truth, there are still two electric motors on the ship that can be used normally, but water has entered the bottom tank and the electric motors cannot be started temporarily. According to the reaction of the crew below, it seems that all the electric motors are short-circuited.
Already."
"How can this be?"
Wu Tian asked while running, "Don't tell me your motors don't have waterproof equipment." Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said how could it be possible, but for some reason, the insulation film on the outside of the motor seemed to have been damaged, and now it was like being directly soaked in water.
Here, once the motor is started, it will be short-circuited immediately...
Just as they were talking, the two of them had squeezed away most of the tourists and hurriedly ran into the captain's cabin. As the captain, Luo Dafu was desperately trying to dial the phone. After several calls were not answered, he was so angry that he dropped the receiver.
, turned around and found that Xiao Zheng led a stranger to the captain's cabin. He was in a bad mood and immediately roared, "Xiao Zheng, what are you doing for food? I didn't ask you to send all the tourists back to the rest cabin. You brought them to
What am I doing here?"
Before Xiao Zheng could speak, Wu Tian had already rushed to say, "I'm afraid it's not safe to stay in the rest cabin now. If the drainage system does not work properly, the bottom cabin will be filled with water within two hours, and by then there will be a whole boat full of people."
The city will sink into the river to feed the fish, do you want everyone to stay in the rest cabin and wait to die?"
"You... who are you?" Luo Dafu couldn't help sweating profusely, but he still said harshly, "You are talking nonsense. Every cabin has isolation equipment. At worst, we can lower the gates and isolate all the leaking cabins.
How is it possible for the entire bottom tank to be filled with water?”
Wu Tian sneered, "Then why don't you open the gate? Is it because the motor failed and all the operating instruments failed?"
"You...how do you know?" Luo Dafu was not only sweating, but his heart began to tremble.
This is the biggest dilemma he is currently facing. All four motors have been short-circuited due to water intrusion, making it impossible to close all the hatches through the control room. Although there are many manual devices under the bilge, for some reason, the crew under the bilge has been slow to do so.
After closing them, Luo Dafu wanted to use the communication equipment to command the crew, but found that even the communication equipment had failed. When he was losing his temper, Wu Tian arrived.
Wu Tian said, "The most critical thing now is to quickly plug the leaking bottom tank. If there is no communication equipment, send people down. As long as half of the bottom tank can be saved, the ship will not sink."
Luo Dafu was so anxious that he was sweating, "But the communication equipment is out of order. I have no way to dispatch manpower. I can't go outside with a loudspeaker and shout randomly. If tourists find out about the cruise ship's malfunction, it will definitely cause even greater damage."
chaos."
At this point, Wu Tian couldn't stay out of the matter, and immediately said, "Then take me to the seeping bilge to have a look. Maybe I can solve some troubles for you."
"You... okay, Xiao Zheng, bring some flashlights with me right away!" Luo Dafu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded helplessly and led Wu Tian out of the captain's room.
The three people quickly walked to the dedicated passage for internal employees, and soon got out of the bottom cabin. They found that the situation was far more serious than imagined. The water seeping bottom cabin was not effectively treated, causing the river water to spread to other cabins. Now the entire bottom cabin is
The cabin was filled with turbid river water, which had reached their knees.
Wu Tian couldn't help but change his face in fear, and quickly shouted to Luo Dafu, "Why is there no one in the bottom cabin? Where have these people gone?"
Luo Dafu looked around nervously, raised the flashlight and scanned again and again. Sure enough, he found that there was not a single staff member under the cabin. He couldn't help but feel strange. He slapped his face and said, "No, we have clearly arranged for eight maintenance workers to come down.
Moreover, there were several boatmen in the bottom cabin, where have they all gone?”
Wu Tian grabbed the flashlight and said, "Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on this. Let's close the hatch quickly."
Xiao Zheng said hurriedly, "No, maybe these repair crews have gone to other cabins. If we close the cabin door in a daze, wouldn't they be trapped alive inside?"
Wu Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Then why don't you call them out?"
Luo Dafu then turned on the loudspeaker and shouted to the passage under the cabin, "Old Huang, He Jun, where the hell are you dead? Come out and close the hatch quickly!"
They shouted several times, but no one responded in the bottom cabin. The three of them suddenly felt strange. Xiao Zheng pulled Luo Dafu and said, "Captain, they don't seem to be here..."
"Impossible. After the cruise ship hit the rocks, I immediately arranged for them to come down and check the bottom tank. How could it be possible that they are all missing? Look for it!" Luo Dafu did not give up and immediately waded into the channel deep in the bottom tank. Wu
Tian and Xiao Zheng looked at each other and immediately followed closely.
There were about twenty independent hatches under the bilge of the Yang Fan, and each hatch was independent. Wu Tian could only accompany Luo Dafu to search for the bilges with the most serious leaks, but he did not wait until the end.
Halfway through the journey, Xiao Zheng, who was at the back of the team, suddenly pointed at a cabin and shouted, "Isn't that Zhao Qing? Why is he soaked in the water?"
Wu Tian immediately raised his flashlight and shined the flashlight where Xiao Zheng was pointing. Sure enough, he saw a face-down person soaking in the water, floating quietly with the current.
At this time, the water level had risen to waist deep. Zhao Qing was like a piece of hard rotten wood, motionless in the water. Wu Tian's heart trembled, could he be dead? Luo Dafu was startled and quickly reached out to pull Zhao Qing.
When he pulled Qing Qing's trouser legs, he found that Zhao Qing's legs were bulging. He didn't know what was stuffed in them. He quickly took a flashlight to shine. The scene that followed was so frightening that Luo Dafu's eyes bulged out, and his whole figure seemed to be electrified.
It started to tremble!
I saw a large number of translucent "jellyfish" crawling on Zhao Qing's legs. These jellyfish clung to his legs like suckers. Under the illumination of the electric light, the jellyfish showed a gleaming blue color, greasy, fishy and smelly.
