Chapter 559: Power Outage Turmoil
After entering the cabin of the auxiliary aircraft, Nanming smelled a scorching smell, as if something was burned.
Several men in greasy uniforms were climbing up and down the huge generator, and the colonel called a man in overalls and said, "This is Patton, the ship's chief engineer, who is also in charge of the maintenance department......"
“sir。 This man stood up and saluted, although his whole body was dirty, but after all, he was a subordinate of the colonel, and his every move was quite orderly.
"What's going on?" Nan Ming asked, "When will it be repaired?"
"Sir, I'm afraid it will take three or four days, and some parts of the generator will melt through, and some parts may need to ......be replaced," Barton said in a low voice, this is still the result of everything going smoothly in his calculations, and he has been repairing it without sleep.
Three or four days, how long does it take?
Now that it was almost dark, the night on the sea had a different flavor, and they had planned to stay at sea for a day and a night, but now that the power was cut off, it would be troublesome.
Then he looked at the huge generator and realized something.
It's not a blown fuse in the house, it's not a repair of a burned-out light bulb, it's a real behemoth.
"I remember that there are two generator rooms on the Silence, which are located on both sides of the ship's cabin, can't you cut off one of them and use the other to supply power separately?" Xu Yafei is a scientist, and when he came up, he had already turned around, and at this time he made a reasonable suggestion.
"Actually, the other auxiliary engine has been dismantled a long time ago...... Barton panicked, the warship's weapon system consumes a lot of electricity, but now many weapons have been dismantled, and it doesn't use so much electricity, after the other auxiliary engine failed a year ago, because the maintenance cost is too high. It has been dismantled and sold for scrap metal, and now it has been used as a cargo hold, full of debris to balance the weight of the ship.
Seeing that Nan Ming seemed a little unhappy, Barton suddenly became frightened, gritted his teeth and said, "Boss." I'll do my best to fix the auxiliaries, but I'm the only real engineer on board, and everyone else is just a temporary cameo......"
Nan Ming shook his head, patted Patton's shoulder, and said, "It's okay, I'm not blaming you......"
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is indeed difficult for one person to do it.
Nan Ming silently calculated the time, and suddenly an idea could not be suppressed, and he said to Barton, "You take me to another engine to have a look." ”
Barton was puzzled. But he still led Nan Ming through a passage to another cabin that was already full of discarded parts.
Nan Ming silently estimated the space, pressed the headphones, and asked Xiaobai, "How long will it take for the things I transported?"
"All seven containers have entered the warehouse at Manila Airport, customs are inspecting, and containers 1, 3 and 7 have been cleared. "Xiaobaidao.
"Where's Container 4?" Nan Ming asked.
"Container No. 4 is passing through customs and is expected to be out of customs today. "Xiaobaidao.
Nanming was actually quite surprised. He always knew that Filipinos were very lazy. The efficiency was low, but I didn't expect it to be so fast.
After Nan Ming confirmed, he said to Barton: "You help me clear the location of a 20-foot container here, and then clean the wiring of the cabin, I want to install a new power generation system here." ”
Patton wondered, what new power generation system can be installed faster than repairs?
But Nanming's words are orders. He beckoned the others to begin cleaning the cabin.
"20ft container...... Uncle Ming, aren't you!" Xu Yafei was taken aback, he knew what Nan Ming was going to do.
Nanming grinned and nodded.
Container 4 contained his nuclear fusion device.
"You're going to light a fire here......" Xu Yafei was shocked.
Nanming nodded, the nuclear fuel was already in hand. If you don't click now, when will you wait?
However, when he came to the Philippines, the bear children would definitely not be caught by him obediently, and they would not be able to find the bear children to do it in the future, and Nanming would have to train some engineering personnel, and he said to the sheriff: "Bring your people here with degrees in physics, machinery, power, electricity, and other related fields." ”
After a while, the sheriff brought a person, and when he saw that there was only one person, Nanming wondered, "Just this one?"
"We're all mercenaries, boss!" said the sheriff aggrieved.
As a mercenary, not to mention the danger, the income is still low, like these mercenaries with guns and bullets, many of them have to be crammed into the small cabins of the ship, they are all some poor and vicious people who do not see the light, unless they are very fond of this kind of life, otherwise if there is a little other choice, they have already gone back to their respective homes and found their own mothers.
It was very dark in the cabin, and Nanming didn't see this person clearly at first, but when the person approached, Nanming saw his appearance, which was the one who was caught by the sheriff on the cabin before, and asked Nanming to kill chickens and monkeys.
Caught by the sheriff again, he thought that he would die after all, and was so frightened that he bent his neck and looked like a rooster waiting to be slaughtered.
"It's you!" Nan Ming smiled, "What's your name?"
"My name is Patrick Geller, you can call me a turkey, sir. ”
"What degree are you?" asked Nanming.
"I'm M.Phy ...... CA," Turkey said.
Nan Ming was suddenly in awe, he didn't expect that in such a mercenary nest, there was also a master's degree in physics from the California Institute of Technology? CA ranked first in the world physics community, this is a top student from the world's top universities, but why did he want to be a mercenary?
Nan Ming looked at him carefully, in fact, this guy looked thin, but the main thing was that he always shrunk his body, and he was surrounded by guys with big shoulders and round waists, if he washed it and threw it on the street, he was still a handsome guy with a good return rate, not like other mercenaries with a hideous face and a fierce face. At this time, he took off his dirty camouflage uniform and put on a crisp and neat white uniform.
Nan Ming didn't know how to judge the age of Caucasians, he estimated that this person was about thirty years old, which was quite useful.
Nan Ming waved his hand and said, "Turkey, Barton, you two come with me." Colonel, if the auxiliary engine fails, will the ship still be able to drive?"
"The auxiliary power will be running for a while, until we get back to the Port of Manila. The colonel said.
"That's good, let's go back. ”
Arrange for them to go shopping in Manila in the evening.
Seeing Nanming leave with the turkey, Barton hurriedly took off his greasy overalls, wiped his hands and hurried to follow.
When he arrived at his cabin, Nanming took out two books from his backpack and handed them one to Barton and Turkey.
When Barton got it, he turned on the flashlight and looked at it silently, and the turkey glanced at it, and his eyes widened suddenly: "Boss, are you going to engage in nuclear fusion?"
"Yes. Nanming nodded, "I'm not going to do it, but I'm already doing it." ”
"Boss, with all due respect, this is impossible, there is no matter that can withstand the temperature of nuclear fusion at the moment, so ......" Nan Ming was convinced, this guy is definitely a master of physics, and this seriousness towards academics is revealed.
Nan Ming didn't bother to argue with him, took out the blind cane from his pocket, turned it into a cane with a slight flick, and paused on the ground: "Shut up, read a book!"
Turkey reads books honestly. (To be continued.) )
