Chapter 1,279 Let’s help find the cause of the malfunction!(1/2)

Soon, both gas turbines were started.

Richard was very satisfied when he saw that the power supply was restored to normal: "There will be no more gate falling accidents this time!"

The previous brake failure can be understood as insufficient power. After all, it has to support the navigation of warships, the operation of search radars, and air conditioning!

They have tried many times on the Atlantic Ocean and have not encountered any problems. This is naturally because they do not need to turn on the air conditioner. After entering the Mediterranean Sea, it is too hot and the air conditioner must be turned on, which increases the electrical load.

If I had known earlier, I would have just started running two gas turbines to save the trouble!

Inside the sailor's cabin.

"Jack, does the sea water taste good?" a sailor joked.

"Damn it, when you ran out, you were not slower than me!" The guy named Jack was naturally not happy when faced with the ridicule, and muttered: "It's just that when we got to the side of the ship, you didn't find the swimming circle.

That’s all!”

"Actually, if we had been more relaxed at that time, we should have known that there was no attack. We must learn our lesson. By the way, this air conditioner is really comfortable."

In the past, warships did not have air conditioning, and it didn't matter if it was shirtless or disheveled when it was hot. But when we were at sea, we were all gentlemen, and even wearing just underpants was no problem.

However, in the later stage, with the need for nuclear, biological and chemical protection, the interior was completely enclosed, and the problem of heat dissipation had to be considered. The warship is an iron shell, just like the iron room on the construction site. When it is exposed to the sun in the summer, the inside will definitely be hot to death.

, must have air conditioning.

If it cannot be cooled in time, the people inside may collapse from sweating too much, or even die.

Therefore, in the later stage, all warships will have to be equipped with air conditioners. Anyway, they will also have to have a three-defense system for overpressure throughout the ship. Just install air conditioners in this system.

However, this is similar to a large shopping mall. If you have an air conditioning system, it depends on whether it is turned on or not. If not, it will still be hot.

"Our captain was too stingy before and was reluctant to turn on the air conditioner for us. In fact, if we turn on the air conditioner whenever we go to sea, we will be comfortable all year round!"

"Yes, I really don't know what the captain is thinking about how much fuel can be spent. The fuel money saved will not reach his pocket..."

I haven’t finished speaking yet, click!

The entire ship lost power again!

At this moment, everyone was a little confused. What happened? The gate fell again?

Fortunately, with previous experience, no one ran away again.

"Wait a minute, the call will come soon!"

"There's a problem!" Some people started to think: "These frequent lock failures could mean there's something wrong with our warship, right?"

"What problem could there be? Our warships are the most advanced!" Jack said, "We use the most advanced power units and the most advanced comprehensive power systems in the world. How could there be a problem?"

At this time, on the bridge, the same question was also raised.

"Now, the two gas turbines are working at full power, and there is no problem of insufficient power supply. Therefore, there must be a problem if the gate fails again!"

"In previous tests, similar situations have never occurred. The biggest difference from before is that the air conditioner is turned on this time. Is it caused by turning on the air conditioner?"

"Yeah, it's very possible. Turn off the air conditioning system, restart the engine, and try again this time!" Richard said.

"If the air conditioning is turned off, the sailors may become unbearably hot."

"You have to endure it if you can't bear it! Look at our tank crews. When they fight in the desert, the weather is often 50 or 60 degrees, and they don't have air conditioning. Why don't they persevere?"

This is not wrong.

The British Challenger tank is also a weird thing. When tanks from other countries are developing comprehensively, their tanks focus on protection, so much so that they turned the Challenger 2 into a big guy of more than 80 tons, but the engine remains unchanged.

, it is still the original 1200 horsepower engine.

Such power is not enough to drive a fifty-ton tank, let alone an eighty-ton tank. Therefore, their tanks are not equipped with air conditioners, which consumes precious electricity.

Originally it was okay to fight in Europe, after all, it was very warm, but I was stunned when I arrived in the desert area. The weather was often 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, and the tank crews had to wear liquid-cooled vests. If they sweat too much, it will lead to electrolyte imbalance in the body.

Even bottles of physiological saline are needed.

Even so, the British did not add air conditioning to their tanks.

A tanker can accept it, so what can't a sailor tolerate?

After a few minutes, the engine restarted.

"It's turned on again." Jack said: "It seems that we don't have to run out, we just need to wait. Wait, why isn't the air conditioner turned on?"

"It's too hot, how can I bear this! How about we go to the deck to cool down for a while?"

"Would this violate discipline?"

"Whatever, it's better than dying of heat."

When they went up, they found that there were already many people on the deck.

The military has strict regulations. There are at least two to three hundred people on the destroyer, and most of them are not qualified to go on the deck. After boarding the ship, they work in the cabin until they return.

Just like an aircraft carrier, although the deck area is very large, ordinary people can't get on it and stay in the cabin.

But now, there are too many people in the cabin, so sailors wearing large pants with a rice pattern appear on the deck one by one, forming a beautiful scenery.

"Wait a few more hours, the sun will go down, and it will be cooler by then." Richard stood on the bridge, looking at so many people on the deck, but did not stop him. After all, he also knew that it would be too difficult to turn on the air conditioner.

hot.

Fortunately, the sun is going down soon.

Without the air conditioner, the machine should work normally now, right?

However, not long after, there was a snap and the circuit breaker tripped again.

This time, Richard was angry.

"Damn, what is going on? Why does the integrated power system of the whole ship always have problems?" Richard said angrily: "We are a warship, a combat machine, and this kind of accident happened before we entered the war zone.

!”

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Richard was very angry, while others were very puzzled.

What's going on?

Obviously nothing has been done, it's just the same as before. It's fine in the Atlantic Ocean, but why does it go wrong when entering the Mediterranean Sea?

"Did someone use electrical appliances illegally, causing excessive electrical load?"

This is nonsense. Each cabin has a special air switch. Even if someone uses high-power electrical appliances, at most the cabin will trip, and it cannot be the main switch!

"Okay, let's check the cabins one by one and check our power supply lines. Our system is still not smart enough. It would be great if it could self-diagnose and isolate the problematic cabins!" Richard nodded.

Therefore, the technical officers on the warship used flashlights to search everywhere in the cabin, but found nothing.

However, the sun had set and the temperature outside was gradually dropping. In the evening, Richard gave the order again: "Restart the engine!"

Everyone looked at the cabin lights above their heads with trepidation, hoping that there would be no more accidents of the gate falling. It was going to be dark soon. It was dark inside and it was dark outside. How could this happen?

One minute, two minutes, half an hour, an hour... the power supply system is very stable.

"It seems that it was just an accidental fault. I hope this fault has disappeared automatically." Richard said: "Next, we need to speed up and reach the cruising sea area as soon as possible!"

"Captain, in order to avoid similar accidents, should we drive slower, in case..."

"Nothing goes by chance, I believe in our warships! Similar accidents will never happen again!"

Rodney had no choice but to nod. After all, he was not the captain.

The night fell, and the gas turbine made a cheerful sound. Except for the personnel on duty, everyone else fell asleep comfortably. However, there were always people who would suddenly open their eyes and look at the lights above their heads that were still on, and then they would feel at ease and continue sleeping.

the next day.

Richard yawned and returned to the bridge.

"There was no accident last night, right?"

"No, our power system is all normal, there are no accidents!"

"It seems that I just bumped into an evil spirit yesterday. I'll ask our army carpenter to do some rituals later to drive away the evil spirits."

"yes."

Soon, a young carpenter appeared in every corner of the warship, chanting jumbled spells, holding a special staff in his hand, and worked through it from front to back.

"Okay, our warship will be protected by Shangdi!" Mu Shi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, click!

The gate fell again!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Why did the fault occur again?

Then troubleshoot!

Richard looked at the chart. There were still 500 nautical miles away from the target. For safety's sake, it was better not to get closer. Without the power supply, their warship was just a lamb to be slaughtered. It was better to wait for repairs.

The problem is, if you want to fix it, you have to find the problem first, and they don’t even know where the problem is!

After another day of trouble, at night, the fault magically disappeared again.

In the cabin, the sailors continued to discuss.
To be continued...
