Chapter Ninety-Six: The Bilge Jellyfish

Wu Tian's words made Xiao Zheng stunned, and said curiously, "How do you know that our instrument is out of order?" ”

Wu Tian sneered and said, "This is my old job, didn't I tell you that I specialize in mechanical repair?" Under normal circumstances, such a large tonnage cruise ship is equipped with at least four propellers, and the propellers are driven by electric motors, not directly driven by the turbines, but now I can't hear the sound of your motors turning, once the motor fails, many instruments in the main cabin will stop, so the radio will not be available, so the captain will leave the broadcast room and appear with a megaphone, am I right? ”

Xiao Zheng looked at Wu Tian with a shocked face, and said Master, what you said is too professional, do you really understand this?

Wu Tian immediately took off his coat and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take me into the captain's room, I have a question I want to ask the captain!" ”

Xiao Zheng hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, but please change into our overalls, otherwise I won't be able to take you to the captain's room, and you will definitely make trouble if other tourists see it." ”

Wu Tian didn't say a word, and immediately turned to the crew overalls handed by Xiao Zheng, and said while putting them on his body, "How many motors does this ship have?" How much more is normal? ”

Xiao Zheng took him to the captain's room and said, "To tell you the truth, there are still two motors on the ship that can be used normally, but the bilge has been flooded, and the motors cannot be started temporarily. ”

"How is this possible?"

Wu Tian asked as he ran, "Don't tell me that none of your motors have waterproof equipment." Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said how could it be, but I don't know why, the insulating film on the outside of the motor seems to be all broken, and now it is equivalent to soaking directly in water, and once the motor is started, it will be short-circuited immediately......

As he was talking, the two had squeezed away most of the tourists and hurriedly ran into the captain's room, and Luo Dafu, who was the captain, was desperately pulling out the phone, and he didn't answer several calls in a row, so angry that he slammed the earpiece, and turned around to find that Xiao Zheng led a stranger to appear in the captain's room, and he was in a bad mood and immediately roared, "Xiao Zheng, what are you doing to eat?" Instead of sending all the tourists back to the rest pod, what are you bringing people to me for? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Zheng to speak, Wu Tian had already grabbed the words, "I'm afraid it's not safe to stay in the rest cabin now, if the drainage system can't work properly, the bottom compartment will be filled with water within two hours, and then a boatload of people will sink into the river to feed the fish, do you want everyone to stay in the rest cabin and wait for death?" ”

"You...... Who are you? Luo Dafu couldn't help but sweat profusely, but he still said stiffly, "You are talking nonsense, every bilge has isolation equipment, it's a big deal that we put down the gate and isolate all the seepage cabins, how can it be possible to fill the entire bilge with water?" ”

Wu Tian sneered, "Then why don't you put the gate yet?" Is it because the motor is faulty, causing all the operating instruments to fail? ”

"You...... How do you know? Luo Dafu was not only sweating, but even his heart began to tremble.

This is the biggest dilemma he is currently facing, all four motors are short-circuited in the water, unable to close all the hatches through the control room, although there are many manual devices under the bilge, but I don't know why, the crew under the bilge has not turned them off for a long time, Luo Dafu wants to use communication equipment to command the crew, but found that even the communication instruments are all out of order, and Wu Tian rushed to come when he lost his temper.

Wu Tian said, "The most important thing now is to quickly plug the leaking bilge, and send people down without communication equipment, as long as half of the bilge 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 take the megaphone to shout outside, in case the tourists know about the failure of the cruise ship, it will definitely cause even more chaos." ”

Wu Tian couldn't stay out of the matter now, and immediately said, "Then you can take me to the seeping bilge to have a look, maybe I can solve some troubles for you." ”

"You...... Okay, Xiao Zheng, you bring a few flashlights to accompany me immediately! Luo Dafu hesitated slightly, and finally had to nod helplessly and led Wu Tian out of the captain's room.

The three of them quickly walked to the special passage for the internal staff, and soon went down to the bilge, and found that the situation was far more serious than expected, the seepage bilge was not effectively treated, causing the river to spread to the other cabins, and now the entire bilge is a muddy river, which has spread to their knees.

Wu Tian couldn't help but change his face in fright, and hurriedly shouted to Luo Dafu, "Why is there no one in the bilge, where have these people gone?" ”

Luo Dafu looked around nervously, raised the flashlight and swept it again, and sure enough, he found that there was no staff under the bilge, and he couldn't help but feel strange, and patted his face and said, "No, we obviously arranged for eight maintenance workers to come down, and there were already several shipwrights in the bilge, where did all these people go?" ”

Wu Tian snatched the flashlight and said, "Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on this, hurry up and close the hatch." ”

Xiao Zheng hurriedly said, "No, maybe these shipwrights who rushed to repair have gone to other cabins, in case we close the hatch in a daze, won't they be trapped inside?" ”

Wu Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Then you still don't call people out?" ”

Only then did Luo Dafu turn on the loudspeaker and shouted into the passage under the bilge, "Lao Huang, He Jun, where are all you dead, hurry up and close the hatch, hurry!" ”

shouted several times in a row, but no one responded in the bilge, and the three of them suddenly felt strange, Xiao Zheng pulled Laluo Dafu and said, "Captain, they don't seem to be ......."

"Impossible, I arranged for them to come down to check the bilge as soon as the cruise ship hit the reef, how could they all be gone? Check it out! Luo Dafu did not give up, and immediately waded into the water and walked towards the passage deep in the bilge, Wu Tian and Xiao Zheng glanced at each other, and immediately followed closely.

There are about 20 independent hatches under the bilge of Yang Fan, each hatch is independent, Wu Tian can only accompany Luo Dafu to the most serious leakage bilge to look for it, but before he finished half the way, Xiao Zheng at the back of the team suddenly pointed to a cabin and shouted, "Isn't that Zhao Qing, why is he soaked in the water?" ”

Wu Tian immediately raised the flashlight, hit the flashlight where Xiao Zheng was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a person who was facing down was immersed 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, soaked in the water and motionless, Wu Tian's heart trembled, so is he dead? Luo Dafu was startled, and hurriedly reached out to pull Zhao Qing's trouser legs, but found that Zhao Qing's legs were bulging, and he didn't know what was stuffed, so he quickly took a flashlight, and the ensuing scene frightened Luo Dafu's eyes bulging, and the whole person trembled like electricity!

I saw that Zhao Qing's legs were crawling with a large number of translucent "jellyfish", these jellyfish were like suckers clinging to his legs, under the irradiation of electric light, the jellyfish showed a touch of blue all over the body, slippery, greasy, fishy and smelly!
