1546. Tragedy
Dear brothers and sisters, if you have votes, please vote. The bullet shell is here to thank you!
On the fleet of hunters, the captains discussed on the radio public channel:
"Shete, these bastards are crazy! Is they too many people, and the guys call people, damn it, you must kill these bastards!"
"Yes, otherwise we call the police? They must be illegally armed water cannons. Besides, so many of them fired fire, call the police..."
"Don't call the police, idiot, Brother Robin also has water cannons on his ship. The most important thing is that although they fired, did you not fire? And we also have large caliber rifles on our ship!"
"Stop talking, be careful. There are many reefs in the sea area we are entering now. Be careful not to run aground!"
"It doesn't matter. I walked here. The reef is not dangerous. Do those bitches think this is the Bermuda Triangle? Ha, our boat has a little draft, how could it hit the reef..."
"Boom!" There was a dull sound!
"Fake! Fake! Fake!" Robin's panic roar suddenly spread across the ears through the radio.
The group of hunters was shocked, and someone shouted, "Brother Robin, what's going on?"
Where did Robin still have the mood to answer? He was planning to gather his brothers to avenge him. This time he was so disappointed. Now he still feels his skin is so hot that he feels sore and his image is even more embarrassing.
As a result, I suddenly felt like I was a pirate. I suddenly bumped into something or was hit by something. In short, the hull suddenly shook, and then several red lights in the cockpit started to illuminate, and the beeps kept ringing.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The beep sounded harshly, and the ship continued to vibrate.
Qin Shiou controlled the giant demon. When he waited until I was the Pirates passed by a hideous reef, the giant demon lies dormant here and first carved a gap at the bottom of the ship with a mace, then used the beacon mace fighting technique, bombarded the gap one after another, and quickly expanded it into a hole the size of a washbasin.
Not only that, he also controlled the giant demon to wander forward and opened a big hole in front of the ship. This hole was larger than the previous one, creating a scene where the boat hit the reef at the bottom and then hit the reef in front.
The surging sea water rolled and roared into the hull. Seeing this, Qin Shiou smiled slightly and gave the giant demon an order to let it leave. That's it, hiding its merits and fame!
When two gaps were inflowing water at the same time, I was the pirate’s number began to sink slowly.
Modern ships use watertight compartment technology. To put it proudly, this technology was invented by the Chinese and is known as one of the four ancient inventions of navigation. It appeared in the Tang Dynasty and was perfected in the Song Dynasty. When Zheng He went to the West, this technology was very advanced.
The so-called watertight compartment, as the name suggests, uses compartment plates to divide the compartment into cabin areas that are not connected to each other. In this way, because the compartments are closely separated, even if one or two compartments are damaged and inlet, the water will not flow to other compartments.
From the overall perspective of the ship, as long as it maintains a considerable buoyancy, the ship will not sink. With the buffering of the watertight cabin, even if it is damaged very much, the ship cannot support it even if there is too much water inlet. Then there is time to reduce the load by discarding the cargo and support the ship to continue sailing normally.
Modern ships adopt higher technology. After a watertight cabin enters water, as long as the ship does not sink, because these cabins have pressure machinery that can create pressure to discharge seawater. This can be repaired and will not affect the ship's continued navigation.
Therefore, if there is a watertight compartment in it, ordinary ships will not sink.
That's why Qin Shiou opened two big holes for me, and two watertight cabins were injected into water together, so this would be enough for the ship to drink a pot of water.
Civil ships generally have eight watertight cabins. As long as there are four watertight cabins that can be used normally, the ship will not sink, and at most it will have severe water inflow.
So at first, Robin and the sailors on the boat were panicked, but they were not desperate. They cursed and ran towards the cabin. After confirming the situation, Robin kicked the hatch door angrily and shouted: "Spencer, damn it, where are you idiot? Hurry up, pull the pump pipe for me and pump out the water!"
The first mate ran over in a panic and summoned the sailors to carry the water pump pipe into the cabin and began to pump water out.
Robin summoned the second mate and the wheel captain to prepare for remediation, and the three of them started negotiating with the drawings.
But something was wrong. Just when they were negotiating, the ship did not stop sinking, but instead sank slowly and unwaveringly.
Logically speaking, after one or two watertight tanks enter water, the waterproof door will not sink as long as the waterproof door is closed in time. Because at this time, the one or two tanks on the ship will enter the equilibrium stage after the hull is lowered for a certain distance. After the water level in the tank is flush with the sea level, water will not continue to enter according to the principle of air pressure.
So, why is the ship still sinking?
Robin was furious and furious. At this time, the first mate and the sailors rushed out. He grabbed the first mate and shouted, "What's going on? Damn it, why is the ship still sinking?"
The first mate shouted in horror: "Go away quickly, captain, the ship is about to sink, we have to abandon the ship!"
Hearing this, Robin kicked up and kicked the unstable first mate into the ground-rolling gourd. He roared angrily: "What nonsense? How can the damage of the two watertight tanks cause the shipwreck?"
The first mate said with a sad face: "I don't know, maybe the waves are too big, and the water rolls in with the waves. It has exceeded the waterproof partition and entered other cabins!"
These cabins of the ship are not completely closed, because of the air pressure and material strength. Simply put, the material strength problem is thermal expansion and contraction. If the cabin is completely closed, high-strength materials must be needed. Otherwise, the cabin steel plate will deform over time.
In addition to warships and some luxury cruise ships and important ships, most ships do not use sealed watertight cabins, including 10,000 tons of ships. There is a waterproof partition between the cabins and a gap above the partitions. On the one hand, it can balance the air pressure, and on the other hand, it gives the cabin materials space for deformation.
This creates a hidden danger, that is, even if there is only one watertight compartment, the sea water will roll and enter other watertight compartments through the space above the watertight compartment.
According to common sense, such extreme situations will not occur. This is only theoretical. In fact, the probability of such a thing happening is too low. Such things will only happen if you hit the reef in a storm.
However, if the reef is hit during a storm, it will definitely die, because the ship will continue to hit the reef by being attacked by sea storm. Even if the watertight compartment is fully enclosed, it will all damage the water inlet and cause the ship to sink.
Therefore, in reality, the watertight cabins of civilian ships will not be completely sealed. After all, civilian ships are different from warships. Warships must perform tasks, and some tasks are carried out in storms. Civilian ships will hide from entering the port when encountering storms.
In this way, I am the tragedy of the Pirates... (To be continued.)
