Chapter 1901: Encountering a horror on Tumen River, the boiler panted, and the deadly pointer

This time when Shen Mo's troops came to the two northern countries, the steamship made great contributions.

It repeatedly flowed upstream along the river, dragging a long string of tugboats like train cars, transporting a large amount of military supplies and food for Shen Mo.

At the same time, this ship also transported almost all the wealth and wealth of the treasury of the Dongxia and Dongliao countries and the noble families.

These days, their fortunes have not stopped for a moment on the Liaohe River and Tumen River, and have been going on for more than a month.

This time, after they threw down more than ten tugboats in Huining Mansion, they loaded nearly thirty tons of spoils on the ship, and began to return alone.

Those tugboats were originally loaded with canned supplies and military supplies. After unloading, these tugboats could drift along the water and return to the estuary along the Tumen River.

When an empty tug is floating down the water, it is much faster than a full steamer. As long as there are a few boatmen on it, they will not be stranded. In this way, the tug fleet can reach the sea outlet in advance, saving a lot of time for shipping goods.

And this steam boat full of gold and silver treasures was too heavy to pull, even when the steam engine propeller was turned on, the speed of their ship was not much faster than that in the downstream of the Tumen River, where the flow rate was gentle.

...

It was a sunny noon, and the upper cabin was filled with sunshine and warmth.

In the cabin, Miss Lu Linyue was reading with a book attentively, while Miss Li Yanyan was sitting by the window in a daze.

Sister Shen Yaoguang, who is only seventeen years old this year, has just washed her hair and is combing her hair in the cabin with the moistness of her hair. The fragrance of citrus smell of Tongzhou shampoo filled the cabin.

After their steamboat passed Huligai, they drove out more than a hundred miles. At this time, the scenery outside the window was rarely visited, and the wilderness was desolate, like a quiet world that had never been around.

White clouds floated in the sky outside the window, and a thick black and blue cloud on the horizon in the distance. The clouds on their heads were dazzlingly white in the sun.

After a while, Miss Li Yanyan, who was sitting in front of the porthole, was stunned for a while, she was suddenly startled by a group of geese flying from afar on the river bank, and then she came to her senses.

As the steamboat was about to reach a corner of the river, the beach was covered with gray pebbles on all sides.

At this moment, Shen Yaoguang, who was combing his hair, suddenly jumped up from the chair without any warning!

The little sister's face is as delicate as a porcelain doll. She is quiet and gentle on weekdays, and even a little taciturn. Often, when everyone is laughing and laughing, she is smiling and watching the fun.

Li Yanyan and Miss Lu Linyue have known her for so long, but have never seen her panic or jumping in any lively actions.

Once, Li Yanyan and Lu Linyue thought that this little sister was an extremely chronic person.

But now, just in this peaceful and quiet noon, this sister Shen Yaoguang jumped up like lightning and ran out!

In the surprised gazes of Li Yanyan and Lu Linyue, Sister Shen kicked open the hatch door violently and rushed out!

Then they heard Sister Shen’s loud and crisp shouts from the deck outside:

"Steam engine surge! The chief engineer, the power chamber of the maintenance worker gathers!"

"ah?"

At this time, Miss Lu Linyue heard what Chen Yaoguang said, and then realized that something might have happened to the steam engine.

She and Li Yanyan looked at each other, listened with one another, but could not hear any sound of steam engines sucking around.

It seems that this sister has become the chief mechanic on the ship at such a young age. This position is indeed not for nothing. Not only are she good at eyes, but she also has outstanding experience in machinery!

...

At this time, Chen Yaoguang quickly ran towards the engine room below the cabin, and used a hairpin to tie his long hair into a neat bun.

After that, Chen Yaoguang jumped down a staircase, and his feet fell on the floor with a "bang", knocked open the door and entered the engine compartment.

At this time, the temperature in the engine compartment was about 50 degrees, and the fire door of the steam engine was opening and closing, revealing the red-colored furnace inside.

The huge steam engine boiler in the cabin is like a huge mug made of steel, with a diameter of two meters and five, and a height of three meters.

On the power system on the boiler side, heavy steel parts were shaking.

In general, this engine compartment uses a coal-fired boiler in the furnace to turn fresh water into water vapor.

Steam then comes out of the boiler and is input into the power machine system, where it pushes the piston and turns into mechanical energy.

Then the piston moves through a gear transmission and rotates the propeller screw.

So the engine compartment at present is the most important power part of the entire steamship.

At this moment, as soon as Sister Chen Yaoguang rushed into the door of the engine compartment, she immediately felt the panting sound from the huge boiler in front, which made her eardrums thunderously!

At this moment, the young girl's cold sweat suddenly appeared!

This is a sign of boiler pressure overload and an extremely dangerous sign!

She rushed over with a quick step and kicked the furnace steward who was desperately shoveling coal in front of the furnace to the side.

The two furnace stewards in front of the furnace were covered with coal ash, with only a pair of shining eyes and snow-white teeth on their faces. One of them was kicked down by Sister Chen, and knocked down the other one while rolling. After the two of them got up, they all had a look of surprise on their faces.

"Add coal!"

At this time, sister Chen Yaoguang rushed to the boiler in a flash. She glanced at the pressure gauge, and then her whole body was shocked!

"The pressure gauge reading is too low!" At this time, one of the two furnace stewards replied in wonder: "It seems that the power is going to be insufficient, can it be possible without adding coal?"

"Is that the reading too low?" Chen Yaoguang rushed towards the throttle valve in one step and began to rotate the valve above desperately.

"Open your eyes and take a look! That's because the reading is too high, the pressure gauge pointer is buckled! You two fools!"

Chen Yaoguang's words made the two furnace stewards shocked their whole body!

When they looked at the pressure gauge again, they immediately felt a "swish" and a cold sweat broke out!

Is this really the case?

According to Chen Yaoguang, the current pressure gauge pointer is not too low, but after turning it around, it points back to the low pressure zone.
