Chapter 666 Maritime Inspection
"Principal, why are you here? It's too hot and dirty!"
Caspal was checking the engine's operation when he suddenly found Frederick appearing beside him.
The flying tulips and the flying cornflowers left the city of Le Havre for about ten days. Yesterday, they docked at a small port in the Kingdom of Riesenburg to replenish fresh vegetables and meat, preparing to head south to bypass the Kingdom of Madeira.
Frederick shouted: "It's okay, I'll come and see, you're busy with yours."
Now he has experienced it personally and deeply realized why "I still want to drive a warship in such a low voice." Not to mention the roar of artillery fire during wartime, the machines in the engine room are also very noisy now, and the voices are so small that they can't hear them.
Just just now, a zipline material transportation drill was conducted between the two ships, and Frederick, Lilu and others came to the flying cornflower in an iron basket.
It's just that the sailors here made a mistake in their busy schedule. The two steel cables from the opposite side of today's drill subject should be hung high and the other low, achieving two-way transmission, but both were hung wrongly.
Lilu was training people, so Frederick came to the engine room to take a look.
He found that the equipment in the engine compartment was running well, clean and hygienic, and was very satisfied.
Kaspal checked the lubricant condition and filled out the form, walked out of the engine compartment, and placed the safety helmet in the basket beside him.
Frederick took off his hard hat and asked him, "How is your grandma's health now?"
Caspal asked in surprise, "How did you know I have a grandma?"
Frederick said unhappily, "I still remember your grandma was carried by the 'Duck Thief', and you were carried by Zopel."
Caspal scratched his head embarrassedly, but he didn't expect that Grand Duke Weisen would still remember himself after so many years.
He said, "I sent a telegram to my family when I was in Le Havre."
"When I picked up the boat, I took leave and went home. She is in good health. The restaurant is now handed over to my apprentice to manage, and I will study new dishes every day."
As I spoke, the two came to the outdoors of the Engineer.
On this boat, the captain, the doctor, the chief mate and the chief engineer live in a single bedroom and office, while the other sailors live in two-person or four-person room.
Frederick said in surprise: "Yes, you've become a chief engineer."
He remembered that Kaspal should have been a student at the Naval Officer's School.
Caspal said embarrassedly, "I am just an agent, and I was seconded from the school for this mission."
Frederick nodded and said, "That's great."
The engine system involves a lot of mechanical knowledge and belongs to the ranks of high-tech in this era.
Kaspal had been a sailor on the flying Tulip before, and was a student of the Naval Officer's School. He had excellent professional knowledge and was not surprising that he was transferred to serve as the commander of the enforcer.
He pushed open the door of the chief engineer's room, and there was someone inside.
A red-haired girl held two bottles of cold-blooded Lebi, and showed a bright smile on her face when she saw Caspal, and her smile instantly frozen when she saw Frederick next to her.
Frederick looked very disappointed and said to Lilu's secretary: "Oh, Christina, I thought the two bottles of drinks you brought were prepared for me."
Christina's face turned red and she handed him one of them.
Frederick smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm going to drink it back and drink it myself. Now I want to talk to Caspal about something, and I'll give you a first vacation after Lacobrica."
When the ship from the Principal of Wesson arrived abroad, the general second- and third-class leave required sailors to return to the ship at 6 pm and before 10 pm that day. Only the first-class leave could they stay outside overnight.
The two young men's faces turned red together, and Christina threw down two bottles of Lei Bi and ran away.
Frederick just smiled. She thought that some things others didn't know about, and Lilu and others had long seen them.
Caspal picked up a bottle of Rebe and gave it to Frederick, opened a bottle and drank it all in one breath.
The temperature outside was close to zero, but the engine room was very hot, and the fresh air brought in quickly turned into warm air. Frederick stood for a moment and felt sweat on his forehead. Caspal was naturally very hot.
After Caspal drank a bottle of drink, Frederick unscrewed the bottle in his hand and handed it over. At the same time, he asked him: "The temperature will be very high after we arrive in the south, and the engine room will be hotter. What are your preparations?"
The tractor was used well in the Principal of Wesson, and it broke out frequently after arriving in the Kingdom of Sardinia, the southern coast of the Inner Sea and other places.
Kaspal took the drink and replied: "We have done statistics. Mechanical failures in the southern region mainly come from severe wear and jamming caused by the failure of lubricating oil."
"Now the ship has prepared special tropical lubricating oil, which has been tried in the high-temperature laboratory of the shipyard, and the effect is very good."
"The fresh air system in the engine room also has large air-conditioning equipment, which can reduce the temperature."
Frederick nodded, satisfied with his answer. "There is one thing to pay attention to." Frederick said: "It is not only the temperature in the south, but also the humidity."
"I am a little worried that the amount of condensate will exceed the design range when the ship is refrigerated, the condensate pipe diameter will be insufficient, and the drainage will rain in the cabin."
Caspal thinks it makes sense.
The member cabin is on the water line, and the air-conditioned water is discharged directly into the flush tank in the bathroom and directly into the sea.
In order to keep the cargo holds below dry, the air conditioner is turned on. The condensate flows to the water collection well and uses a water pump to pump out the water. If the water is too large and cannot be discharged, it will drip out directly in the cargo hold, which is bad.
He thought for a while and said, "If this happens, then you can only connect an independent water pump to the main drainage pipe to force the drainage."
There are many water pumps of all sizes on the ship to deal with different situations.
Frederick nodded and said, "Just be prepared in your heart. Think about it more often. What problems we may encounter after we arrive in the south and how to solve them, at least we know what kind of problems we have. "
"Many big problems are just small problems at the beginning, and it is best to solve them in the future."
Kaspal responded immediately.

Frederick asked him to continue to be busy and walked around himself.
Preparing lunch time, Frederick came to the kitchen.
This morning, the crane at the stern of the boat got off the trawl, picked up a few fish, and ate them at noon.
After the chef kills the fish, removes the scales, cooks the head, tail and fish bones, and stirs the bones on both sides with the fat pork. Then add salt and ginger powder and other seasonings to make buns stuffing. The automatic noodle kneader on the other side has already kneaded the noodles, then put it in the automatic bun machine to wrap it into buns, and finally steam it in the steamer.
Frederick didn't know what to say. It was not convenient to sway at sea. The chefs on the boat were average, and more sailors took turns to take turns. As a result, buns became the best choice for all parties to compromise.
Making buns does not require any cooking skills. Just follow the cooking manual and cut the ingredients like doing an alchemy experiment. As long as you don’t make the mistake of putting 10 grams of salt into 10 kilograms, the buns you make are not unpalatable.
And the buns are easy to pick up, and you won’t be afraid of the boat shaking.
If the fresh water is tight, the steamer can be turned into an oven, and even the distilled water can be used with sea water.
If the wind and waves are not big, there are noodles made in the noodles machine, you don’t have to eat buns every day.
Frederick did not disturb the chef, and then went to the cold storage next to him.
The door of the cold storage was opened, and a harsh alarm sounded at the same time.
Frederick immediately shouted, "What happened?!"
Footsteps also came from the corridor, and someone rushed over when he heard the alarm ring.
Kaspal poked his head out from behind the cold storage door and said, "Don't worry, I'm testing the 'Hojin Prouz Button'."
He has just completed the filing of the routine inspection records of the engine room and is now inspecting the ice storage.
Frederick blinked and asked, "What is that?"
He couldn't understand for a moment what this alarm had to do with a former thief.
A sailor ran over and saw a false alarm, and couldn't help but mutter: "I didn't say anything about the test, I thought some idiot was locked up."
Frederick continued to blink, as if he had heard something very amazing. He almost sent a telegram to go back and ask Hozhenpuloz, have you actually been locked up in Bingkuri?
Kaspal said in the cold storage: "There is a large cold storage in the duck canning factory in Hozhenpuloz, which contains many killed ducks."
"I heard that one day when he was counting ducks inside, he was closed by a careless worker. The door was unable to be opened inside, and he almost froze to death."
"Later, he sued on the grounds that the product had major safety defects, and finally won."
"So now there are alarms installed in the cold storage, and anyone who is locked inside can notify the outside."
Frederick smiled and began to check the syrup of drinks such as meat, vegetables and happy water stored in the ice warehouse.
The food on board is distributed in a fixed amount. The little fish and fish soup for lunch today are extra meals. If there is no fish, it is pure pork buns.
There are quite a lot of canned food, but that is the last moment.
Frederick is concerned about machinery and food issues, and today he is very satisfied with the inspection on the cornflower number.
Then he, Lilu and others returned to the flying tulips, and did not prepare lunch for them.
