The control of warships is completely different from that of cars. Cars have throttle devices and gear devices that can change the speed at will, but warships are not easy. For example, today's warships use steam turbines, although theoretically, the precise flow of steam can be controlled to stabilize the speed of the steam turbine at a certain certain value.

But in fact, this adjustment is not a continuous-speed change, but is divided into five stages. Generally speaking, the advancement of combat ships is level 5, among which the advancement is full speed, and the advancement is full speed; the auxiliary ship is like civilian ships, generally level 3, and forward three is full speed. Of course, civilian ships are actually level 4, but there is a level "slight speed forward" below the advancement.

Now, Kucherov's order to advance five was quickly passed to the rear engine room. The soldiers in the engine room had already mastered the operation key points of the warship and pushed the operating rod next to him forward to the front.

Go forward five!

The steam valve has become the largest. In the four boilers, the fuel pump rotates at the highest speed and strongly sprays heavy oil for marines into it. Because the combustion is not complete, countless black particles rise together with the heat flow and emerge from the chimney.

The steam turbine is accelerating, and the propeller at the tail is also accelerating, and the entire huge warship is accelerating forward.

The warships made in Germany have very good quality and sufficient power systems. This warship can reach a high speed of 35 knots under no load.

As for reliability, Kucherov would not doubt that the warships built by Germany for the Soviet Union were of good quality and high reliability. This aircraft carrier had been tested yesterday and was fully normal for a period of full power.

Now, his warships must speed up and leave this sea area quickly and leave the sea area where the German Navy often moves. This is absolutely safe. If the German Navy blocks it, he will be in trouble.

The windows on the bridge are open, and you can feel that as the warship speeds up, the sea breeze continues to surge. As an old sailor, this feeling makes him intoxicated.

The steam pressure is further increased, and the collapsed high-pressure steam inside the pipeline pours into the steam engine along the pipeline, pushing the blades and rotating more quickly.

The boiler was burning in the wild place, and the officers and soldiers in the engine room felt the surging heat.

"What's wrong!" said a soldier.

Although they have not been operating this aircraft carrier for a long time, they were already experienced veteran sailors before they arrived. The lowest number of these metros has more than ten years of operating experience.

In the engine compartment, this temperature is too abnormal.

What's going on?

"The engine room calls the bridge, and the engine room calls the bridge." The chief of the engine room shouted: "The boiler temperature is too high and the boiler temperature is too high, and the power is requested to be reduced, and the power is requested to be reduced."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang from behind, and countless steam leaked out of the boiler. The closest engine soldier screamed, and under the high temperature of the steam, he was instantly steamed.

The boiler exploded!

The entire engine compartment was filled with steam, and the engine captain shouted loudly: "Hurry, rescue the damage to the pipe!"

Kucherov was shocked, and countless thoughts emerged in his mind, but all the thoughts were useless. He knew that his task might be unable to be completed.

The engine soldiers were bravely rescuing the engine room. They risked a huge danger and five or six people were seriously burned, and finally rescued the engine room.

At this time, the boiler has turned off.

When Kucherov came to the engine compartment, he saw the chief engineer, and his hair was battered, and his face looked ugly.

"It is a problem with the refractory bricks inside the boiler." The chief engineer said: "The refractory bricks fall off inside the boiler, causing the boiler shell to be unable to withstand heat and be damaged."

Refractory brick! Hearing this, Kucherov was about to collapse.

In order for this aircraft carrier to be put into service as soon as possible, the Soviets also made great efforts. For example, when they heard that the boiler was short of refractory bricks, the Soviets immediately transported a batch.

As a result, there was something wrong with this batch of refractory bricks!

"Can you continue to ignite the fire now?" Kucherov asked.

"This, I have to ask the experts in Germany." The engineer said with a sad face.

The boilers were all fried. Although only one was fried, the other three must have been damaged to varying degrees. In this case, can we ignite the fire again?

Tony and others were brought over soon. Looking at the tragic situation here, Tony also looked depressed: "The refractory bricks of the boiler are not qualified. This boiler has been blown up. The other boiler, the refractory bricks inside, must have fallen off. If the fire continues, it will definitely be the same as it is now."

Tony's words made Kucherov completely fall into the ice hole and lose his power, so the aircraft carrier could only float on the sea!

What to do? Call the base and send a tugboat here?

That's too far. The tugboat's speed is the slowest, which is a speed of more than ten knots, and it takes several days to arrive!

"Captain, the meteorological department sent a forecast. Five hours later, a big storm will come."

This sentence made Kucherov fall into an ice hole. After five hours, there was a big storm!

If a storm strikes, this kind of 10,000-ton warship will have little impact. For example, it can adjust its direction and sail in the direction of the wave, and the impact of the storm can be minimized.

However, if there is no power, it is another situation. The course cannot be adjusted. If the wind and waves blow from the side, the effect will be superimposed again and again, and the storm will overturn the warship!

In that case, the aircraft carrier will be scrapped!

"Col. This aircraft carrier must be returned to the site for maintenance. If you change the boiler, you have to cut the deck steel plate. The project is very large. If you insist on driving it away, please let us go." Tony said: "We can get on the lifeboat and have a few hours to row to the shore."

As a large warship, of course there are enough lifeboats. Tony's meaning is very simple. If you want to die, then go and die. Don't implicate innocent people!

After saying that, he shook his head again: "What a pity, this warship is such a pity."

Kucherov knew that he had no choice, and the Soviet shipyards could not complete the task of replacing the boiler. Now, if he still had to persist, there would be no other possibility except in danger in a storm.
Chapter completed!
