    On the predator fleet, the captains discussed on the public radio channel:

    "Snow, these bastards are crazy! There are too many of them, guys, shout, damn, we must kill these bastards!"

    "Yes, how about we call the police? They must be illegally armed water cannons. Besides, there are so many of them shooting, so let's call the police"

    "Don't call the police, idiot. Brother Robin also has water cannons on his boat. The most important thing is that although they fired, didn't you? And we also have large-caliber rifles on the boat!"

    "Stop talking and be careful. There are many reefs in the sea we are entering now. Be careful not to run aground on the rocks!"

    "It doesn't matter. I've walked through here. The reef is not dangerous. Do those sons of bitches think this is the Bermuda Triangle? Ha, our ship has such a small draft, how could it hit the rocks"

    "Boom!" A muffled sound!

    "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Robin's panicked roar suddenly spread through the radio to everyone's ears.

    The group of hunters were stunned, and someone shouted: "Brother Robin, what's going on?"

    How could Robin still be in the mood to answer?  He was just planning where to summon his brothers to take revenge. This time he was really disappointed. Now he still feels that his skin is burning and hurting, and his image is even more embarrassing.

    As a result, all of a sudden, the I Am Pirate seemed to have hit or been hit by something. In short, the ship's hull shook violently, and then several red lights in the cockpit lit up, and the beeps continued to sound.  .

    "woo woo woo woo!"

    The buzzer sounded harshly, and the ship continued to vibrate.

    Qin Shiou controlled the giant demon. He waited until the I Am the Pirate Ship passed over a ferocious reef. The giant demon dormant here first used a mace to carve a gap in the bottom of the ship, and then used the beacon fire mace combat skill.  Continuously bombarded the gap, quickly expanding it into a hole the size of a washbasin.

    Not only that, he also controlled the giant demon to wander forward, and opened a large hole in the front of the ship. This hole was larger than the previous one, creating a scene where the bottom of the ship hit the rocks and then the front hit the rocks again.

    The turbulent seawater rolled and roared into the hull of the ship. Seeing this, Qin Shiou smiled slightly and gave the order to the giant monster to let it leave. That's it, hiding his merit and fame!

    "The two gaps were filled with water at the same time, and I Am the Pirate began to sink slowly.

    Modern ships use watertight compartment technology - of course, I am proud to say that 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. Under Zheng He  This technology was very advanced in the West.

    The so-called watertight compartment, as the name suggests, is to use bulkheads to divide the cabin into separate cabin areas.  In this way, because the cabins are strictly separated, even if one or two cabin areas are damaged and water enters during navigation, the water will not flow to other cabin areas.

    From the overall perspective of the ship, as long as it maintains considerable buoyancy, the ship will not sink.  With the buffer of the watertight compartment, even if the damage is very large, even if too much water enters the ship and the ship cannot support it, there is still time to reduce the load by abandoning the cargo and support the ship to continue sailing normally.

    Modern ships have adopted higher technology. If a watertight compartment is flooded, as long as the ship does not sink, these cabins have strong pressure machinery that can create pressure to drain the seawater. This can be repaired without affecting the ship's continued navigation.

    Therefore, it stands to reason that if there are watertight compartments, ordinary ships will not sink.

    That¡¯s why Qin Shiou opened two big holes in the Pirate, and let the two watertight cabins flood in. This would be enough for the ship to drink a pot.

    Civilian ships generally have eight watertight compartments. As long as four watertight compartments can be used normally, the ship will not sink. At most, it will be seriously flooded.

    So although Robin and the sailors on the ship were panicked at first, they were not desperate. They cursed and ran towards the cabin. After confirming the situation, Robin kicked the cabin door angrily and shouted: "Spencer, damn it,  Where are you idiot? Quick, quick, pull the water pump pipe over to me and pump out the water!"

    The first mate ran over in a panic, summoned the sailors to carry the water pump pipe into the cabin, and started pumping water out.

    Robin summoned the second officer and chief engineer to prepare for remediation, and the three of them took the drawings and began to negotiate.

    But something was wrong. While they were negotiating, the ship never stopped sinking. Instead, it slowly sank.?Sinking steadily downward.

    It stands to reason that after one or two watertight cabins are filled with water, as long as the waterproof doors are closed in time, they will not sink.  Because one or two cabins on the ship are filled with water at this time, the hull will enter the equilibrium stage after lowering a certain distance. When the water level in the cabin is equal to the sea level, water will not continue to enter according to the principle of air pressure.

    So, why is this ship still sinking?

    Robin was shocked and angry. 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: "Come on, captain, the ship is sinking, we have to abandon the ship!"

    Hearing this, Robin raised his foot and kicked up the first mate, who was unable to stand still. He roared angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the damage of two watertight cabins cause the ship to sink?"

    The first mate said with a sad face: "I don't know, maybe the waves are too big, and the water rolls in through the waves, and it has already exceeded the waterproof partition and entered other cabins!"

    These cabins of the ship are not completely airtight. This is due to air pressure and material strength issues. Simply put, the material strength issue is thermal expansion and contraction. If the cabins are completely airtight, high-strength materials are needed, otherwise they will encounter hot and cold changes over time.  , the cabin steel plate will deform.

    Except for warships, some luxury cruise ships, and important ships, most ships do not use closed watertight cabins, including giant ships of 10,000 tons. There is a waterproof partition between the cabins, and there is a gap above the partition to balance the air pressure.  This is to give room for cabin materials to deform.

    There is a hidden danger in this, that is, if water enters even one watertight compartment, the seawater will roll up and enter other watertight compartments through the space above the watertight partition.

    According to common sense, this extreme situation will not occur. This is only theoretical. In fact, the probability of such a thing happening is too low. Such a thing will only happen if it hits the rocks in a storm.

    However, if you hit a rock during a storm, you will definitely die, because the ship will continue to hit the rocks when attacked by waves and storms. Even if the watertight compartment is fully enclosed, it will be completely damaged and flooded, causing the ship to sink.

    Therefore, in reality, the watertight compartments of civilian ships will not be completely sealed. After all, civilian ships and warships are different.  Warships have to perform tasks, and some tasks are carried out in storms. Civilian ships will avoid entering the port when encountering storms.

    Just like that, I am the tragedy of a pirate (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
