"What?"
Han Qi and Huang Shengjun were stunned and looked at the experts.
"Liu Gong, Qin Gong, what is going on?”
The few of them glared at Chief Engineer Ren Ping, furious.
"It's because there's a fuel tank on this ship that caused such a big accident!”
"Director Huang, Captain Han, we request that we arrest this chief engineer immediately. We can find out the cause of the fire by interrogating him.”
"Him?"
Huang Shengjun looked at Ren Ping and asked in a deep voice," Experts, do you suspect that he caused the fire?”
"That's right!"
The two of them looked at each other and pointed at the image on the big screen."Shen Lang is now between the engine compartment and the oil storage compartment. We can clearly see that the oil outlet from the oil storage compartment to the engine compartment was connected in a hurry.”
"I can't imagine that a 100,000-ton ocean-going oil tank would have such a sloppy connection at its oil outlet! It was precisely because of this that when the oil tank began to sail, the oil in the oil storage tank leaked due to the vibration. The oil soaked into the electrical switch and caused the first explosion!”
Everyone in the room was stunned.
The two experts continued to speak indignantly.
"We fully suspect that Chief Engineer Ren Ping is the culprit of this accident!”
"Because only the valve key in his hand can open the oil outlet!”
Ren Ping jumped up in fright after hearing the two people's accusations.
"You…Don't spout nonsense! Evidence was needed for everything! What right do you have to say that I stole the oil and caused the explosion?”
Liu Gong angrily grabbed Ren Ping's right hand.
"You still don't want to admit that a chief engineer, the number three person in the oil tank, has greasy hands? What did you do this morning?”
Ren Ping's right hand was grabbed by Liu Gong and displayed in front of everyone.
Boom!
Everyone saw his oily right hand and his guilty expression.
Everyone was furious!
" I didn't expect it. Isn't it supposed to leave at seven o'clock? I didn't expect it to leave before six o'clock. I…I really didn't expect it to explode. I planned to tighten the valve. I…"
Ren Ping was so scared that he hurriedly defended himself, and even began to speak incoherently.
"Speak! Did you open the oil outlet?？”
Han Qi picked him up and asked loudly.
"I…I beg you, please spare me!”
He finally broke down and squatted on the ground, crying.
"Arrest him!"
Huang Shengjun and Han Qi were filled with anger. They didn't expect that it was an oil rat who caused such a major accident. Ren Ping was taken away and interrogated by the police.
But now, the focus was not on why he stole the oil, but on how to stop the disaster.
"Engineer Liu, Engineer Qin, what should we do to minimize the losses?!" Huang Shengjun asked anxiously.？”
The two of them sighed at the same time." Director Huang, it's too late! If the oil tank caught fire at the first moment and the fire extinguishing system on the oil tank was activated, the accident could be completely eliminated!”
"The hateful chief engineer actually took the initiative to turn off the fire system in order to hide his crime! Look at the big screen. On the right side of Shen Lang is the main switch of the fire protection system. It has been turned off by someone. Now, the entire ship's electrical facilities have been destroyed. Even if they were turned on again, it would be useless.”
"Ah! This…What should we do?"
"For now, the only way is to cut off the connection between the third floor and the first floor. Building a firewall on the second floor may delay the explosion of 100,000 tons of natural gas!”
Liu Gong and Qin Gong both looked helpless.
"Can't you…think of a way to put out the fire?”
"No!"
The two of them looked helpless.
"This is the fire inside the cabin! The only way was to let the seawater pour in, but to do so, the entire bottom of the cabin would have to be blown up, which was impossible.
"Bang!"
Huang Sheng Jun punched the table in the command room, wishing he could swallow Ren Ping alive.
A despicable move had actually caused the destruction of the entire cruise ship. If Ren Ping had caused the death of more than 30 crew members on board, killing him would not be enough to appease his hatred!
Huang Shengjun had already predicted the worst outcome for the Viking. He picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Call Liu Yuan! The cause of the fire has been identified. After discussion, we have temporarily given up on extinguishing the fire! I order you to immediately search for all the trapped people and evacuate the oil tank in five minutes!”
"Understood!"
After Liu Yuan received the order, he had already rushed to the depths of the second basement floor.
As expected, there were three boatmen lying on the ground unconscious from the smoke.
He went forward and shook the other party, only to find that he had lost his consciousness.
He had no choice but to make a gesture to his comrades beside him, asking them to carry one person each to save the fainted boatman.
Li Zhiming, who was searching in the basement, also found the trapped people. They were the other unconscious boatmen, including the Viking's chief engineer, Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan still had a weak consciousness. After being saved by Li Zhiming, her first reaction was to scream in panic.
"Quick, quickly go to the basement level. The valve connected to the No. 3 natural gas tank is not closed! Quickly pull me to close the third valve!"
When Li Zhiming heard this news, his head was about to explode.
There was still a natural gas valve that hadn't been closed.
"Captain, captain! This is Li Zhiming, calling Captain Liu!"
On this side, Liu Yuan had just carried the last boatman away when he received a message from Li Zhiming.
"What is it? The valve of tank number three wasn't tightly shut?”
Liu Yuan subconsciously looked into the distance. That was where the third tank was located. He looked at the time. There were less than three minutes left until the final evacuation time that Shen Lang mentioned.
If what Shen Lang said was true, he only had three minutes left.
No matter what, if the second wave of explosions occurred, they must not let it detonate the No. 3 natural gas tank. Otherwise, there would be a huge problem.
"Li Zhiming, from now on, you will take over the command of the suicide squad! Lead the boatmen and crew to evacuate this place immediately! Everyone else, don't come in anymore. Everyone, retreat!”
"No, I can't! Captain Liu! Let me stay behind to deal with the aftermath while you take your men and retreat!”
Li Zhiming subconsciously refused and was about to run to the second floor.
"Don't you f * cking come over!"
Liu Yuan shouted as he ran towards the valve of the No. 3 tank.
"Listen to my order, immediately evacuate this place with the boatmen! Retreat immediately!"
"If you run over, more than ten people will die here in vain! Do you have the heart to let them all die here?”
Liu Yuan roared and cut off the call because he saw flames rising from the ground.
The intense heat made him feel as if his entire body was going to burn up. He took a deep breath and finally ran to the valve of the No. 3 gas tank.
"Shen Lang, Brother Shen! How are things there?"
Liu Yuan took a deep breath, held the valve with both hands, and began to close it.
At the same time, she contacted Shen Lang through a wireless device, afraid that something might have happened to him. Shen Lang's voice came from behind him.
"Captain Liu, there's no one on the third floor who needs to be rescued. It's just that the fire has gotten bigger. I think it will spread to the second floor in less than three minutes! We need to think of a way."
Shen Lang held the huge valve and started to spin it with Liu Yuan.
He was extremely anxious in his heart, but on the surface, he was still neither fast nor slow.
"Captain Liu, my shoes are burned and my clothes are almost burnt. Can you please go up and help me find a protective suit?”
As Shen Lang turned the valve, he asked Liu Yuan to run back to the deck.
Liu Yuan turned his head to look, and his heart ached. Tears even flowed out.
No one could see Shen Lang's miserable state.
Since he had bought a civilian firefighter suit, it had been completely destroyed by the fire. The fire-resistant boots on his feet had also melted, revealing his toes.
Liu Yuan could not imagine how Shen Lang could survive in the heat.
What was this man still insisting on?
Liu Yuan turned around and pushed him." Brother Shen, take it yourself. I have something important to do."”
Shen Lang chuckled. He had already found out about the so-called important matter from Liu Yuan's livestream.
This guy was trying to close the valve of the No. 3 tank at the last second before the explosion.
To ensure that Viking's 100,000 cubic meters of natural gas would not be detonated, and to ensure the safety of the East China Sea port!
However, he had forgotten that there was still a girl waiting for him to marry in the city on the shore!
