Great Power Ship

Chapter 206 Shipbuilding Expert

Of course, Captain Mahathir didn't know the twists and turns. Looking at Wen Dawei, who had a bright smile, and Qi Yong'an, who was stern but energetic and elegant, he really thought that a domestic ship expert had arrived.

There was no way, the facts in front of him forced him to believe it.

In any case, as the captain of a cargo ship running shipping, Mahathir has seen the world, at least he has been to shipyards in Japan and South Korea, and he has never seen a shipyard with a capacity of more than 1500 tons in this way. The ship was pulled ashore.

What's more, the situation of the Zhujiang factory is there. If there is no expert to guide them, can they do it by themselves?

What's more, even if you really don't believe it, what can Mahathir do? The boat has already been pulled ashore. He will jump at this time and say that he can't do anything. What should we do here?
Could it be that he asked his thirty-odd crew members to carry the boat down?

So Captain Mahathir, believe it or not, didn't get entangled in this place, but asked: "I don't know what's wrong with our ship? Our judgment is the transmission system, but we are not sure!"

"I, Mr. Qi, have already checked this aspect. No, we were going to the guest house to discuss the maintenance plan with you, and we met you here!" Wen Dawei said with a smile.

"What's the problem?" Mahathir asked eagerly.

"It's your stern shaft seal that is severely worn!" After Wen Dawei finished speaking, he patted Qi Yongan's back and asked in Chinese: "Old Qi, is it right?"

Qi Yongan nodded solemnly: "Yes, there is something wrong with this place!"

After hearing this, Captain Mahathir and the first mate beside him looked at each other. There was a little surprise in their eyes, but more relief.

It turned out that Captain Mahathir still didn't really believe Wen Dawei's nonsense.

After all, this incident is too strange, no matter what craft you use, you should always inform the captain of the tugboat when you go ashore, but in the end, he secretly got the boat up when the tide was high.

Even though Wen Dawei explained his words perfectly just now, Captain Mahathir still had doubts in his heart, so when he asked what problems existed with the ship, a hole was already buried in his words.

After all, as the captain of the "Tutong 148" cargo ship, can he not know what's wrong with his clothes?
All these are just to hear whether Wen Dawei is talking nonsense with his eyes open.

If Wen Dawei's answer is wrong, Captain Mahathir of course can't say anything. After all, the boat has been pulled up. Departments or get in touch with shipowners to reverse the situation.

In any case, as a captain who has dealt with pirates for more than a month, Mahathir still has a lot of experience in this area.

If Wen Dawei was right, it would be better. If they could repair the cargo ship "Tutong 148" efficiently and quickly, and complete the tasks Mr. Nim told him, they would also get a generous commission, which would not be a loss.

Unexpectedly, what Wen Dawei said was the root cause of their ship's problem. It seems that the old Mr. Qi in front of him really has two brushes, so he pretended to nod thoughtfully and said, "Oh, so this is the problem. I just said how to start the ship. It will creak and creak from time to time, especially when reversing, the noise is very scary."

"Of course, it's South Korea's handiwork. Not to mention the rough work, the key point is not to solve the problem!" Wen Dawei also nodded, then raised his eyes to look at Mahathir: "The stern shaft seal should have been repaired recently, right? See The appearance of the solder joints will not last more than two months, the key is that your shipowner should be greedy for cheap, otherwise you should not believe the nonsense of the South Koreans, just replace it with an original Japanese one and everything will be solved!"

As he spoke, he patted Qi Yongan's shoulder, and Qi Yongan quickly nodded solemnly: "That's right, that's what happened!"

Now Captain Mahathir was not surprised, but completely shocked.

Needless to say what Wen Dawei said, Captain Mahathir can understand the whole process in English, even if he can’t understand Chinese, but Brunei is close to Malaysia, and the Chinese in Malaysia account for a large proportion, so a few simple words The words can still be understood, and it just so happened that Qi Benan said the simplest short sentence, coupled with a solemn nod, Mahathir can naturally understand the meaning of the expression.

But it is also because of this that Mahathir was shocked. It is not uncommon to find the fault point on the ship. What is strange is that he can explain clearly the maintenance and selection of similar faults before you.

You must know that the maintenance record of the "Tutong 148" cargo ship is not on the ship, but in Brunei, so how did Wen Dawei and the others know?
Of course, it is judged based on rich experience in shipbuilding.

What is it but an expert in shipbuilding to have such abilities?
Not only Captain Mahathir was shocked, but also the first mate and others, and even many crew members who came with them were so excited that they wanted to cry.

You must know that they have been terrified by this problem for more than a month.

After all, the stern shaft seal sleeve is an important connecting component between the propeller and the stern drive shaft. The stern drive shaft can drive the propeller to rotate, preventing seawater from pouring into the cabin. It is the stern shaft seal that plays an important role.

The stern shaft seal sleeve is the key component to protect this important device.

Once the stern shaft sealing sleeve is broken and damaged, it will directly lead to damage to the stern shaft sealing device. At that time, not only a large amount of sealing oil used to lubricate the bearings will leak, resulting in seawater pollution; the hull will also cause seawater to flow backward due to the damaged seal here.

If the ship is fine on the coast of the continental shelf, and if the distress signal is sent out in time, the crew still has a chance of survival. If this situation really happens in the vast open sea, the crew will have to be buried in the sea together with the cargo ship.

Because of this, whenever the "Tudong 148" cargo ship started, there was an abnormal sound in the sealing place of the stern, and the crew of the "Tudong 148" cargo ship would feel a little bit of a heartbeat, for fear that the ship would sink if something went wrong. The sea, never going back home.

Therefore, during this period of time, the crew of the "Tudong 148" cargo ship were under great pressure, so hearing what Wen Dawei said was so correct, they all felt that they had found a real ship repair expert who could solve the big problem they had been worrying about all day long.

Because of this, without waiting for Captain Mahathir to speak, some crew members asked Wen Dawei directly: "Then do you have the original Japanese stern shaft seal?"

"Yes, we only need the Japanese original stern shaft seal sleeve, so don't use the welding machine to repair it for us twice before fooling around!"

"Yes, since you are so right, there should be a solution!"

……

Seeing the crew yelling at each other, Captain Mahathir naturally looked embarrassed, while Wen Dawei pressed his hand with a smile, and then said gently: "Our solution is to drop, but this It depends on Mr. Captain's decision...after all...different plans have different prices..."
