Chapter 558: Vacation at Sea

The sea breeze was warm, with a slight salty smell, and the Silence floated quietly on the sea. The large ship of thousands of tons, in this kind of sluggish sea, seemed as stable on land.

Nan Ming was lying on the deck, drinking the ice-cold fruit smoothie, chatting with Nan's mother without saying a word. In the distance, several motorboats were racing wildly, and Chen Haocong's yelling sound came from afar.

After Nan Ming planned to vacation in the Philippine waters, he called back on the same day and asked someone to arrange the itinerary for Nan's father and Nan's mother.

The brats in the family also came along, and Zhao's father and mother Zhao also came together, and brought a few brats from Qingyang.

Zhang Feilin found an excuse and followed him. Right now, he was madly murdering Feilin with his camera in his arms. Zhang Quanzhen turned a blind eye to this. In fact, Nanming wanted to invite Zhang Quanzhen, but Zhang Quanzhen finally refused.

The others couldn't get away for the time being, and they would come one after another when they had time. Anyway, the Silence was here, and they couldn't run away.

Nan's mother was lying on the deck basking in the sun. After nearly ten hours of hard work, she was lying on the deck chair enjoying the sea breeze, which was very comfortable.

But Nan's mother is a carefree character, she still can't rest assured, and occasionally raises her head worriedly to look at Chen Haocong and the others in the distance, Nan Ming said: "Don't worry, the bomb is following them."

Nan's mother lowered her voice and said, "That old black... is it reliable?"

If you bring other people's children out, nothing will happen.

"Don't worry." Nan Ming said, among the three giants of the Silence, the sheriff and the colonel are in charge of managing the crew, and the other is in charge of the operation of the ship. Only the bomb is an idler, so Nan Ming sent him to protect these brats .

The bomb looks too fierce, even wearing a white crew uniform, it is still very scary, Nan's mother must be worried.

Nan's father nodded again and again, and said, "Don't tell me, Bob is really a good man, patient and polite, and will help look after the children. I always thought that black people are very vicious..."

Bob is the bomb, and Nan's father made friends with the bomb, and when he flew over from Manila by plane, he chatted with him along the way.

Nan Ming couldn't help but hold back his laughter, is it polite to bomb? Of course, he must be polite to Nan Ming's family.

Nan Ming looked back, on the front and rear decks of the Silence, there were a few reclining chairs here and there, and next to each reclining chair, there were at least two waiters in white standing serving them. All the more than a hundred mercenaries on the Silence They all changed into white uniforms that fit them, shaved and took a shower, and some even got tattoos. The colonel even trained himself for a whole day. It’s not been a day since Nan’s father and Nan’s mother boarded the ship, and they haven’t been exposed yet. , in the eyes of Nanma and the others, these people are polite and have gentle smiles, no different from other cruise ships.

With towels on their arms and trays in their hands, they opened and closed their mouths: "yes, sir", "thank you, sir". Those who didn't know thought that these people had all come out of five-star hotels before.

After receiving the service, Nan's father grabbed Nan Ming and asked him in a low voice: "I heard that tipping is required in foreign countries. I tipped the waiter just now, why didn't he accept it?"

"Oh, they are all employees of our company, so there is no need to tip them." Nan Ming said.

No wonder these people dare to take tips!

Nan's father was relieved, and he followed the colonel to visit the Silence with great interest. The Silence is a typical old-fashioned style, stupid and thick, and there are no entertainment facilities at present.

After Nan's father came back, he frowned, pulled Nan Ming, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Ming, how much did you pay for this boat? Why do I think this boat is so broken? Don't be fooled. "

Although Nan's father doesn't understand ships, he still has good eyesight. He can tell that the ship is quite old, and the interior is obviously lacking in maintenance. They raided the practice of cleaning.

Of course, Nan Ming knew that the condition of the ship was not good. The 100-odd mercenaries had a messy life, and most of them were not sailors. Living on the ship for such a long time must have caused serious damage to the ship.

And for so many years, this ship has actually been lacking in maintenance, and now it only has a bluffing shelf.

What Nan's father and the others see now is after beautification. This boat was cleaned up suddenly for them.

"Don't worry, Dad, I bought it very cheap." Nan Ming said hastily, "Although the ship is broken, the mechanical condition is still good. It is enough to drive us around."

A battleship is different from a cruise ship. It has to make room for a large amount of weapons and equipment. The accommodation conditions are very poor. In order to entertain Nan’s parents and Nan’s mother, the sheriff, the colonel and others packed up their luggage, vacated the captain’s room and the senior crew’s room, and moved it by themselves. I went to the crew room to sleep with the soldiers on bunk bunks. Even so, the living conditions here are not comparable to those on the cruise ship. The lighting inside the ship is almost entirely dependent on lights, which is damp and dark.

Nan's father and Nan's mother felt that it was new, and the bear children were only interested in playing, and they didn't feel much. Nan Ming also felt that such a boat was enough to make his family happy.

Who would have thought that just as soon as he made a promise to his father, something went wrong, the colonel walked over anxiously, hurried to Nan Ming, leaned over to Nan Ming's ear, and whispered: "Boss, it's not good .”

"What's the matter?" Nan Ming was taken aback, and the colonel smiled wryly, "Boss, the auxiliary engine on the ship is broken..."

Marine engines are divided into main engine and auxiliary engine. The main engine is the main engine. The Silence uses a steam turbine. After the diesel is burned, the high-pressure and high-temperature water vapor generated pushes the turbine blades, and then passes through a series of transmission devices to transfer the kinetic energy to the stern. Propeller, this is an older and more mature and stable technology.

The current mainstream is the gas turbine, which has the same principle as the engine of the car, and the more advanced propulsion method is called full electric propulsion, which generates electricity through the gas turbine, and then transmits it to the motor through the transmission line. Faulty mechanical transmission, more space for ships.

The difference between all-electric propulsion and gas turbines is like the difference between electric vehicles and fuel vehicles. It is a great simplification of mechanical equipment and an increase in the complexity of circuits and power control.

The so-called auxiliary engine is the generator on the ship, which supplies all the electrical equipment on the ship. If the auxiliary engine breaks down, in addition to some emergency systems that can still be used, other lighting, sonar, communication, radar, etc. on the entire ship, will fail.

After the failure of the auxiliary engine, the Silence changed from a modern warship to a medieval warship.

"Is there no one who can repair it?" Nan Ming asked with a frown.

"Our engineers have already gone, but it will take some time..." the colonel said.

Nanming frowned, looked left and right, and called out, "Yafei!"

"Here." At the stern of the boat, beside a fishing rod, Xu Yafei raised his hand.

Xu Yafei has a quiet nature and is similar to Nanming, so he didn't go to sea to play wild.

"Come on, give me a hand." Nan Ming said.
