"Why is that?" Borifezno guessed the answer seven or eight points in his mind, but he still asked the crew in front of him as if he didn't know. "Why does pressing this button make you 'die ugly'?"

"You haven't been a soldier, have you?" The crew yawned, "Lying about the military is a capital offense." This was true of the old Elta Army, and so was the army of the New Elta Empire. On this ship, passengers are, of course, responsible for reporting special circumstances. After all, this is about your life and the lives of the whole ship, not a joke. ”

Seeing that Borifezno still looked mentally retarded, the crew had no choice but to continue to add in accordance with the safety regulations: "Once the alarm sounds, you must also follow the security officer in this area to evacuate to the top deck in an orderly manner, and then make further plans after confirming the alarm situation." But as soon as the alarm sounds, the ship will definitely stop. After that, no one can afford to wait for the delay in the trip. Of course, in the event of a fire or other circumstances, you don't have to hesitate to press this button directly, not only is there no fault, but also a great reward! ”

"Boss, didn't that Elta cub just say, 'Don't press it casually, or you'll die ugly'? Do you mean to touch the scales on this ship? ”

After the crew read out the safety regulations, patted their butts and walked away, the quick-witted soldier hurried into Borifezno's ear to ask questions.

"God knows if it's a game, waiting for the fool who wants to make trouble on this ship to get into it!" Bori Fetzno spat dissatisfiedly, "Judging from the fact that what this guy said is not the truth, it seems to be true." But you say, if this is really for us passengers, where will it go up to the top deck, and that person has not mentioned it for half a sentence? ”

"No, I didn't. But Lady Qianfu, I don't understand what you say. Is this true or false? Confused, the soldier kicked back the ball that Borifezno had kicked at him.

Bori Fitzno waved his hand, sat down next to the radiator and said, "Look again." It's been less than half a day on this ship, and I haven't eaten a meal yet. Making a decision now is arbitrary and short-sighted! ”

Outside the porthole as Borifezno watched, the gangway had been retracted on the other side of the Minsheng, and the crew had gathered on the deck in groups to loosen the ropes from the bollards.

As the cable that tightly tied the dock and the Minsheng was loosened, the waste tires leaning on the edge of the pier were finally liberated. As the cables were loosened, the work on the deck was officially completed, but at this time in the red zone several decks below, the collision of fire and steel in the engine room was just beginning.

"The friction check of the main engine for two minutes and two thousand revolutions has ended! Everything works! ”

"The rate of literation is 200 revolutions per minute, and it is reported when it is added to 2,800 revolutions!" Wearing a small white vest and shorts in the dead of winter, the chief engineer with a towel on his shoulder but not feeling cold yelled at the intercom with the noise of the steam turbine as he checked the valves one by one. "Steam temperature stability control can not be neglected for a moment! Cheer up, lads, don't mess it up the first time! ”

This is Elta...... No, the first marine steam turbine in the history of the Bilunar Planet to carry out steam turbine restart operation in an area with no support and no harbor backup, from the captain to the chief engineer to the trainee crew who was in the engine room with him, was naturally nervous, and the tension of the engine room across the two decks and the high temperature bonus of 30 degrees and 40 or 50 degrees Celsius became even more dire.

After all, the first batch of Jiefang ships did not wait for the coal gas generator and internal combustion engine system that were still being developed, and replaced it with a mature boiler and marine steam turbine system to "solve the problem".

Naturally, some people complain that it takes three or four hours to start this thing in a cold state, and the process is enough to fill a drawing paper, and it takes half an hour to keep it running before and after the hot start; Some people also complained that this would make the engine room "like summer all year round", and "there were inexplicably many saunas on board", so as to get some cool treatment for themselves and the boys under their command; Some people will even complain that this will double the maintenance time of the liberation wheel, and they will have the possibility of dying of overwork in the future......

But when they saw a forecast chart handed out by the Mendong City Audit Office, they all lowered their heads and remained silent. On the left side of the chart is the forecast of the monthly fuel required by the Liberation Ship in the first phase under the normal main engine, while on the right side of the chart is a geometrically escalating peak - that is, the amount of fuel required by the Liberation Ship for the final plan. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and any complaint may be defeated in front of this chart.

"Regardless of whether we have the capacity to transport such a quantity of diesel and heavy oil, and how many oil dump warehouses we have to prepare along the route, do you know? Could it be that the entire infrastructure of Elta is giving way to oil? Play the piano around! Besides, Elta still doesn't even have a single oil storage point, and all the drilling team's attempts to encircle the geological location have come to naught! Who can guarantee that Elta will be able to open even one well and produce a drop of oil? Have it? If we don't build a whole set of oil storage and transfer system, what will it be for? Is it moldy to the cooking oil? ”

In the silence of the venue, the fate of the liberation wheels was rewritten. They were supposed to be horses that could spin propellers with compressed air, but now they were bulls who needed to paddle their hooves to gather strength to take their steps.

But that's good, at least the turbine isn't nothing compared to the diesel engine - at least it's not a little behind in terms of output, but a huge improvement. Once this bull, locked in the engine room by flanges and pipes and valves, really starts to go berserk, it will make the Minsheng run faster than Hong Kong reporters! You must know that these boilers are said to have some pressure margin, and the Minsheng ran at a high speed of 22 knots during the sea trials, and the boiler at this time was only able to reach the predetermined pressure, and its full potential was not used...... It is said that the top management of the Hilqi shipyard has already had the slightest intention to slightly modify the kit of a certain Jiefang ship in good condition to become a real high-speed transport ship -- of course, this is still under discussion, and the 5,000-ton Jiefang ship at this stage has also temporarily set its full speed at 18 knots, while the Minsheng is at 18.2 knots.

"Report the 'big car', the main engine has now reached two thousand eight hundred revolutions!" At this time, the chief engineer, who was respectfully called "the big car", had already checked the main pipes of the boiler, and sat on the steel chair outside the compartment and drank the soda specially equipped for the engine room to prevent heat stroke. However, although the heat around the pipes is avoided here, the vibration and noise are still there.

"Has the temperature of the wall in the steam chamber reached the saturation temperature of the main steam pressure?"

"It's reached!" The trainee crew member who was in charge of communication and observation over there was even more excited than the veteran from China who had successfully practiced it, "Then, according to the textbook, the valve switching?" ”

"Yes, switch valves." He thought for a moment and added, "What is the temperature of the main steam now?" ”

"Four hundred and twenty-seven degrees, how long does it take to warm up?" The sound of the valve twisting was heard on the other side, and the car could feel the vibration under its feet. Little by little, he knew that the shackles on the bull were loosening, and the steam was the blood flowing in its veins, pushing the huge fan impeller in its alveoli to turn forward—this was the power of industrialization. It is different from the mysterious and mysterious magic that wants to show the noble and cold, it is so rude, so unreasonable, and when you roll up your sleeves, you have to use the hottest power to declare the strongest right to speak!

"Preheat for fifteen minutes, then reload!" The meaning of this sentence is also clear, that is, the Minsheng will start to return in fifteen minutes. "This should be a good start! Thank you very much! This class is closed two hours early today, and the brothers of the other class will take the talk on your behalf, and the next successful start will be their rotation! ”

The long whistle, three times in a row, stirred up a flock of seabirds standing on the Minsheng line. At the same time, the winch in the bow of the ship began to work, lifting the multi-ton golden anchor from the bottom of the water.

"Heading 275, two cars moving forward one-"

Wu Ran stood on the edge of the black zone, on a separate deck corridor, with the port of Kamla that was beginning to go away, and the communications of various vital parts of the ship's main frequency band in his ears, while he himself was silent.

A mixture of yellow and white foam began to hit the side of the ship. Although the speed of 7.5 knots is called "slight speed", it is already the average speed of electric vehicles in the city, and at this time, he can already feel the wonderful feeling of the waves and the side of the ship colliding with each other.

"Heading 275 remains the same, two cars advance two-"

The laborers worked hard to add coal to the furnace, and the boiler lived up to expectations by pressing more steam into the turbine's high-pressure chamber. At 4,000 revolutions per minute, the blades, which are still moving towards 5,000 revolutions, drive the thigh-thick propeller shaft, which flashes and moves in the gearbox, and finally evenly distributes the power to the two propellers of about 120 revolutions per minute.

The sea breeze was weakening, and the hem of Wu Ran's coat had stopped shaking. The Liberation Ship Minsheng had barely kept up with the speed of the sea breeze, and the port of Kamla where it was pointing became smaller and smaller, and it became a line in less than half an hour.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for him to go to sea on such a boat, and he was still sitting in the "first class" - Wu Ran thought of this, and he couldn't help but whistle at the blue sea in front of him. In front of this sea and sky scenery, the haze that shrouded him seemed to be spreading little by little.

Since you're going back to China, let's just take it easy. If you really want to be brisk and can't get brisk when you go back to China, that's the time to take regret medicine.
