Chapter 1902: Life and death save the entire ship in an instant, the river bank is stranded, starboard rolls over

Chen Yaoguang is now crazy and is rotating the throttle valve desperately.

The boiler has been panting and shocked, and an explosion may occur anytime and anywhere... These two furnace stewards must have been distracted just now. When the pressure gauge exceeded the safety value, they did not notice the pointer.

After Chen Yaoguang twisted the throttle valve to the end, she still didn't hear the usual "squeak" sound, and the high-pressure steam rushed over along the throttle valve - at this time, Chen Yaoguang immediately understood what was going on in this boiler!

It turned out that there was something wrong with the throttle valve!

Now the high-pressure steam in this boiler can enter and not exit, and the broken throttle valve makes all the steam hold in the boiler. No wonder the pressure rises so quickly. The two furnace drivers did not take care of it at a glance, and brought the situation to this point!

At this time, Chen Yaoguang knew that the situation could no longer wait. Once the boiler exploded, the entire ship would be blown into pieces in the river like a grenade!

I saw Chen Yaoguang take a few steps back, run two steps to get a run up, and jump up with force!

Her body flew into the air, stepped on the safety ladder on the side of the boiler, and then leaped up again, and her body jumped higher.

I saw her in the air and pulled down the red pressure relief valve on the top of the boiler with force.

When the red handle was pulled down, a "buzzing" sound was made on the entire steamboat, with a long loud noise!

The boiler contains huge energy high-pressure steam, rushing out along the pressure relief valve.

After this high-pressure steam passed through the chimney of the steamship, a huge white smoke formed by steam immediately soared into the sky from the chimney!

...

At this time, the two furnace stewards looked at the "bang" and Chen Yaoguang, whose feet fell steadily. Then their eyes looked at the pressure gauge next to them in horror.

After the boiler was decompressed, the index on the pressure gauge began to drop rapidly. The pointer went down from the low pressure zone until it returned to zero, and it was still rotating and returned to the high pressure zone!

"My mother, I'm really stuck in the circle!"

Now these two guys are so scared that they are like sieves.

With the pressure in the boiler just now, it is possible to blow the entire ship to pieces every minute and every second, and it is impossible for one person on the ship to be spared!

...

At this time, everyone on the ship was alarmed, and the commander and two maintenance workers rushed into the engine compartment.

Under Shen Yaoguang's order, the two furnace stewards began to shovel the burning coal burning in the furnace out desperately. The red coal blocks were immediately thrown on the steel floor of the engine room.

At the same time, under the command of Shen Yaoguang, two mechanics hung the gearbox in neutral, and the propeller of the ship immediately lost power.

In fact, even if they don't do this, the power system will last for a while. Because after the boiler releases pressure, the high-temperature steam no longer pushes the piston, and in fact the propeller is about to stop.

After the pressure relief valve sprayed out steam, the pressure of the boiler began to drop rapidly. Sister Chen Yaoguang, who had been staring at the pressure gauge, breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked a repairman to go up the iron ladder and close the pressure relief valve again - this time the huge white steam mist that emerged from the chimney finally stopped.

Just as Sister Chen Yaoguang was relieved, she heard the voice of Captain Wu Jun suddenly came from the copper tube sound system used to convey orders between the various cabins on the ship.

"What's going on? The rudder can't move... The engine room replied!"

Wu Jun's voice coming from the copper tube was obviously filled with anger and urgency.

"The rudder is powered by steam to help steering." At this time, Sister Chen Yaoguang came to the receiver on the copper tube and shouted loudly inside:

"The boiler malfunctioned, and now the power of the entire ship is lost! Captain, what's going on with you?"

"There is a river turning in front. At this time, you have a problem with the rudder for me?"

At this moment, Wu Jun's helpless voice came from the copper tube: "Forget it... all the crew members are ready to collide!"

"Fuck!"

When he heard the captain's order from the copper tube, he saw that the people in the engine compartment left the near the bulkhead and reached out to hold on to the iron pipe racks and other things to prevent falling.

At this time, everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts. This was the first time that the steamship "Flying Henan People" has started to serve!

Just after everyone spread their feet and stood firm and found the items to support them, they immediately felt the hull suddenly "boom" and the hull shock!

This time, it was like a bus after a sudden brake. Although everyone tried their best to support their bodies, they still staggered violently at the same time. Fortunately, no one fell down.

Then, they felt the huge shock, and the entire hull began to roll towards the starboard side...

At this moment, everyone shouted in their hearts: "Oh no!"

This is the sign that the bottom of the ship touched the river channel and the pointed bottom of the ship began to tilt to one side. The ship was already stranded on the Tumen River!

I waited until this terrifying roll, and I tilted to nearly 30 degrees before I stopped.

At this moment, wrenches, tools, shovels and other things on the cabin floor were all jumping around and sliding towards the right side.

The entire engine room was full of people walking on the left leg and the right leg. This was to stand firm on the ground with the support of something.

"Damn it!" Seeing this situation, Chen Yaoguang's sister's face was flushed out with anxiety and cursed angrily.

At this moment, there was also chaos in the command cabin.

The chart water cup on the table and the protractor triangle ruler fell all over the floor. Captain Wu Jun was holding the rudder and standing there with a tilted body, frowning.

Just now, when he happened to be turning, there was a problem with the engine room, which made him unable to turn directions.

In this way, the steamboat that was sliding along the water under inertia rushed to the shallow beach at the bend of the river. Then the ship rolled, and the ship was stranded, which made the problem a big deal!

In fact, no one is surprised about this, and the steamship is designed without any problem, but the place where they are performing their tasks is very wrong.

Originally, when this steamship was designed, it was not equipped with a manual steering rudder, but used steam-assisted method because it was originally designed to sail on the sea.

Steamboats do not need to turn back and forth like sailing boats when sailing to take advantage of the wind. Therefore, there is no need to design a particularly flexible rudder. Using steam can greatly reduce the physical burden of the helmsman, but if this boat sails in the inland river channel, the problem will be great.

Because once they lose steam power, the rudder cannot move. Where will it run if it does not strand on the Tumen River that turns in this song?
