Chapter 149 (1/2)

The first day, spent in plain, sunrise and sunset, the second night, came.

Ivan, the marine engineer, is having a sweet dream. In the dream, he seems to have returned to his hometown, that distant Siberia, where there is a huge windmill, whirring around, slower and slower, and finally stopped.

”Ivan, what are you doing!” Just then, there was an angry cry in my ear.

Hearing this sound, Ivan was inspired and immediately woke up. He stood up and straightened his waist: ”report, private Ivan, is on duty in the engine room.”

”You know you're on duty. Listen, listen!” The chief engineer shouted angrily.

The unique roar of the diesel engine has disappeared!

No wonder it was that dream just now. Evanton was stunned when he followed. He quickly picked up his tools and ran towards the engine room.

The marine diesel engine is different from the vehicle diesel engine on the ground. Its speed is very low. However, there are many cylinders and there is no coverage. You can directly see various accessories of the valve lamp.

Now, the valves have stopped moving, and the diesel engine has stalled!

The chief engineer was sleeping in his cabin. When he heard the sound of the diesel engine weaken, he knew something was wrong. When he ran over, he found that Ivan on duty was sleeping, but the diesel engine was getting slower and slower, and finally stalled!

Check the fault!

At this time, the telephone in the engine room rang. The chief engineer picked up the phone. Inside was the voice of the chief officer on duty: ”what's the matter? How did the ship lose power? ”

”We are checking the cause.” The chief engineer should answer. At this time, other marine engineers had also got up and gathered together.

”What's that?” A marine engineer has deftly opened an exhaust valve. You can see that white gas is emitting from the cylinder.

steam! How can water vapor appear in the cylinder? Is there water in diesel?

The chief engineer was experienced and looked at the top of the diesel engine. The oil pipeline was obviously wrong!

”Who connected the cooling water pipe for heat dissipation to the oil tank? Damn it, our ship can't move any more! ” The chief engineer turned pale. He knew that this was a serious accident, and he might be tried by the military because of this accident!

At the beginning, when the ship was delivered to the Soviet Union, the Navy officers and soldiers were very excited. The power system of this ship was quite advanced. Although the steam ship had greater power, it took a long time to start. It took a long time to heat the boiler, while the diesel engine could start only after it was started.

However, they did not notice that when the Germans gave their ships, all kinds of pipes on the diesel engine were made of the same rubber pipes, even the pipes of the cooling water tank.

After the wrong connection, the water mixed into the diesel and entered the cylinder, causing the engine to shut down! Even if the engine is not damaged, it will take a long time to pump out the diesel in the fuel tank and fill it with normal fuel!

They didn't know that just at the port, a frogman quietly boarded the warship and stayed in an insignificant corner of the warship for two days. The accident in the engine room tonight was not their own fault at all.

Captain Nikolay, as soon as he fell asleep, was awakened by the sailors. When he hurried to the engine room, his face was also very ugly.
