Chapter 559: Power Outage Storm

After entering the cabin of the auxiliary engine, Nan Ming smelled a burnt smell, as if something was burnt.

Several men in greasy uniforms were climbing up and down the huge generator. The colonel called a man in overalls over and said, "This is Patton, the ship's chief engineer, who is also in charge of the maintenance department..."

"Sir." The man stood at attention and saluted. Although his whole body was dirty, he was the colonel's subordinate after all, and his every move was quite methodical.

"What's going on here?" Nan Ming asked, "When will it be fixed?"

"Sir, I'm afraid it will take three or four days. Part of the generator has melted through, and some parts may need to be replaced..." Barton said in a low voice.

Three or four days, how long does it take? Nan Ming was stunned.

It's getting dark now, and the night at sea has a special flavor. Nan Ming and the others planned to stay at sea for a day and a night, but now that the power is cut off, it will be troublesome.

Then he looked at the huge generator and realized something.

It's not blowing a fuse at home or fixing a burned out light bulb, it's a real behemoth.

"I remember that there are two generator cabins on the Silence, which are located on both sides of the cabin. Can't one be cut off and the other be used for power?" Xu Yafei is a scientist. When he came up, he had already turned around. At this time Reasonable suggestions were made.

"Actually, the other auxiliary machine has been dismantled long ago..." Barton panicked. The weapon system of the warship consumes a lot of power, but now that many weapons have been dismantled, it doesn't use that much power. Another one a year ago After the auxiliary engine broke down, it was dismantled and sold for scrap iron because of the high maintenance cost. At present, it has been used as a cargo hold, filled with sundries to balance the weight of the ship.

Seeing that Nan Ming seemed a little upset, Barton suddenly panicked and gritted his teeth: "Boss, I will try my best to fix the auxiliary engine, but I am the only real engineer on board, and everyone else is just a temporary cameo..."

Nan Ming shook his head, patted Barton's shoulder, and said, "It's okay, I'm not blaming you..."

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it's really hard for a person to do it alone.

Nan Ming counted the time silently, and suddenly an idea sprouted uncontrollably, he said to Button: "Take me to another engine to have a look."

Although Barton was puzzled, he still led Nan Ming through a passage to another cabin full of discarded parts.

Nan Ming silently estimated the space, pressed the earphone, and asked Xiaobai, "How long will it take for the things I delivered to arrive?"

"The seven containers have all entered the warehouse at Manila Airport, and the customs are inspecting them. Containers 1, 3, and 7 have already left the customs." Xiaobai said.

"Where is container No. 4?" Nan Ming asked.

"Container No. 4 is going through customs, and it is expected to leave today." Xiaobai said.

Nan Ming was actually quite surprised. He always knew that Filipinos are very lazy and inefficient, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

After Nan Ming confirmed it, he said to Button: "You can help me clear out the space for a 20-foot container here, and then clean up the wiring in the cabin. I'm going to install a new power generation system here."

Patton wondered, what new power generation system could be installed faster than repaired?

However, Nan Ming's words were orders, and he called the other people to start cleaning the cabin.

"20-foot container... Uncle Ming, aren't you!" Xu Yafei was shocked, he knew what Nan Ming was going to do.

Nan Ming grinned and nodded.

Container No. 4 contained his nuclear fusion device.

"You plan to light a fire here..." Xu Yafei was shocked.

Nan Ming nodded, the nuclear fuel has already been obtained, if not at this time, when will it be?

However, when he came to the Philippines, the brats would no longer be obediently caught by him, and they would not be able to ask the brats to do maintenance in the future. Nan Ming had to train some engineering personnel. He said to the sheriff: "Take you People who have degrees in physics, mechanics, power, electricity and other related fields are brought here."

After a while, the police chief brought a person, and seeing that there was only one person, Nan Ming wondered, "Just this one?"

"We are all mercenaries, boss!" the sheriff said aggrievedly.

Being a mercenary, not to mention the danger, the income is still low, and many of these mercenaries like bullets have to be squeezed into the small cabins on the ship. Otherwise, if there is any other choice, they would have already gone back to their respective homes and found their own mothers.

It was very dark in the cabin, Nan Ming didn't see this person clearly at first, when the man approached, Nan Ming saw his appearance, it was the one who was caught by the police chief in the cabin before, and asked Nan Ming to kill others as an example to others that.

When he was caught by the sheriff again, he thought that he would die after all, so scared that he shrank his neck and bowed his body, looking like a rooster waiting to be slaughtered.

"So it's you!" Nan Ming laughed, "What's your name?"

"My name is Patrick Geller, you can call me Turkey, sir."

"What degree do you have?" Nan Ming asked.

"I'm M.Phy from CA..." Turkey said.

Nan Ming was immediately in awe. Didn't expect there to be a master of physics from Caltech in such a mercenary nest? CA ranks first in the world of physics. This is a top student from the world's top prestigious school, but why did he come to be a mercenary?

Nan Ming looked at him carefully. In fact, this guy looks thin and small, but the main reason is that he always shrinks his body, and he is surrounded by guys with big arms and round waists. Unlike other mercenaries who are so ferocious and fierce. At this time, he took off his dirty camouflage uniform and put on a neat and tidy white uniform. If he put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he could be called a beast in clothes.

Nan Ming is not very good at judging the age of Caucasians. He estimates that this person is in his thirties, which is not bad.

Nan Ming waved his hand and said, "Turkey, Patton, you two come with me. Colonel, if the auxiliary engine fails, can the ship still sail?"

"The auxiliary power can still run for a while, and it can persist until we return to Manila Port." The colonel said.

"That's good, head back."

Arrange for them to go shopping in Manila in the evening.

Seeing Nan Ming leaving with the turkey, Patton quickly took off his greasy overalls, wiped his hands and hurriedly followed.

After arriving in his own cabin, Nan Ming took out two books from his backpack and handed one to each of Button and Turkey.

Patton got it, and looked at it silently with a flashlight. Turkey glanced at it, and immediately widened his eyes: "Boss, are you going to engage in nuclear fusion?"

"Yes." Nan Ming nodded, "I'm not planning to do it, but I've already done it."

"Boss, with all due respect, this is impossible. At present, there is no substance that can withstand the temperature of nuclear fusion, so..." Nan Ming is convinced that this guy is definitely a master of physics, and he is serious about academics. It will appear.

Nan Ming didn't bother to argue with him, so he took out the blind stick from his pocket, flicked it lightly, and it turned into a cane, and landed on the ground: "Shut up, read a book!"

Turkey reads books obediently.
