Chapter 389 Turning red(3/4)
He pointed with his finger and explained: "The ship's flexible coupling is placed in the engine room, and the generator and engine are mounted on rubber to reduce vibration."
Pushing open the heavy hatch, Andrew introduced and led him to the heart of the yacht, which was the engine room.
It was very noisy, very noisy, and it was completely different from what I had just felt up there.
Andrew raised his voice, pointed to the engine to Li Xuewu and said: "Look, all areas of the engine room are covered with sound-absorbing materials, the exhaust pipe is suspended, and the cooling water pipe is placed in a rubber sleeve."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Taking Li Xuewu and the two out of the power cabin, closing the door, the noise decreased.
He pursed his lips and said to Li Xuewu seriously: "A yacht is not a fishing boat. The most important thing is comfort. Noise is definitely the worst thing that disturbs the afternoon tea time."
The three of them returned to their comfort zone. Andrew shook his head slightly and said: "Previous yachts all chose to use battery packs for power supply, but the usability was too poor."
"Do you know why we need electricity?"
Andrew looked at Li Xuewu seriously and asked a key question.
Li Xuewu thought for a moment and replied: "Safe."
"correct!"
Andrew nodded happily and said: "That's it. With electricity, there is no need for LPG anymore."
"butane"
Li Xuewu understood and affirmed: "That thing is fine at home, but it is too dangerous on the boat."
"But you have to know that the vast majority of yachts and ships are still using it as fuel because it is lighter and more convenient."
Andrew shook his head slightly and said: "I have personally seen a yacht explode when using liquefied petroleum gas."
He didn't say anything about the result, he just pursed his lips and continued to shake his head and sigh.
Only within the industry can the true quality of the product be witnessed.
For example, those who make sausages don't eat sausages, those who make instant noodles don't eat instant noodles, and those who make gas stations know where they can't add oil.
When passing by the restaurant, Andrew pointed to his feet and introduced: "After switching to a generator, the kitchen can use modern equipment to provide high-end dishes."
"Such as microwaves, large refrigerators, coffee machines with automatic water filling and garbage compactors."
Andrew patted a wall, pointed to the corresponding location and said: "There is an ice machine here, which can produce 2,000 ice cubes in 24 hours. It is my favorite!"
"Haha, it's pretty good."
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "But it's not suitable for our Asian habits, because we prefer the firepower of the stove."
“Especially this ice machine”
He walked to where Andrew was standing and touched the wall. There was a slight vibration, indicating that the compressor was working.
"We are more accustomed to drinking warm boiled water. In dietary customs, cold water is not friendly to the stomach."
"I know, it's a cultural difference"
Andrew pursed his lips and stared exaggeratedly, then spread his hands and said: "My hometown is farther away from here than the horizon!"
"It took Marco Polo four years to get here, but now it only takes me less than a month."
He smiled and said: "I know exactly how to sell yachts to Asians, really, trust me."
“Just a friendly reminder, no comparison intended.”
Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said: "Take me to see other locations. This may be my last time to experience a high-end yacht."
"Don't say that, my friend"
Andrew smiled and shook his index finger, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "You have an old saying in China, it's called golden scales..."
"Stop it! Mr. Andrew!"
Li Xuewu grabbed his hand and said seriously: "We are not allowed to say this now."
"Okay~"
Andrew didn't know what was going on, so he curled his lips, shrugged his shoulders, nodded and said, "You know what I mean."
"I understand, let's go to the next place"
Li Xuewu was really afraid that if he continued to talk about this, he would be ruined again.
Zhou Gancheng followed behind, looking at his back blankly. He didn't know what was wrong with this kid. What's wrong with that sentence...?
------------------
"Why are you here?"
"Brother Li! Look!"
Luo Yun saw Li Xuewu and the others walking in. Even though Andrew was the master, she still couldn't hide her excitement and pointed to the cabinet in the bedroom and said, "It's a TV!"
“Be polite when visiting other people’s homes.”
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her and said, "Don't yell, you are a big girl, what are you like, how embarrassing you are."
"……sorry"
Luo Yun, whose face was a little red with excitement, suddenly became quiet when Li Xuewu said this.
Even Zhou Xiaobai, who was standing aside, changed his expression and stood beside Luo Yun in an orderly manner.
Andrew looked at them with a smile. He didn't understand Li Xuewu's words, but he could feel the meaning of his words.
“Relax, this is the place for leisure and entertainment!”
He pressed his hands down and said with a smile, "All the entertainment facilities here are open to you."
With that said, he gave a signal to Li Xuewu and asked him to translate.
Li Xuewu glanced at the two of them and said, "Follow the rules. You can have fun, but you can't make trouble. Do you understand?"
As he spoke, he introduced Andrew and said: "This is Mr. Andrew, a friendly foreign businessman. I want to say hello when we meet."
"Yes, I'm sorry, Brother Li"
Zhou Xiaobai held Luo Yun's hand and saw that she lowered her head, so he took the initiative to apologize to Li Xuewu.
"Relax, relax, Mr. Li"
Andrew stood aside and knew that Li Xuewu did not translate his words, so he signaled to Zhou Gancheng behind him.
Zhou Gancheng looked at Li Xuewu and knew that he was educating the children, so he softly explained the reason to Andrew.
Andrew smiled and turned on the TV, adjusted the TV program, and showed the two girls the adjustment method.
Zhou Xiaobai glanced at Li Xuewu and lowered his head timidly, not daring to look.
Andrew looked at Li Xuewu helplessly and said, "Mr. Li, you are too serious. I am your friend."
As he spoke, he smiled at the two girls, and then motioned to the TV that was playing foreign programs: "You are free, relax."
He pointed to the top of his head and introduced to Li Xuewu: "There are four TV sets in my ship. If they are not in the viewing area, you can use a new "recorder" to retain the viewing programs and transmit them through high-fidelity speakers.
Programs from radio stations can be received."
"here"
Andrew clicked on the speaker in the corner of the room and said: "This yacht is equipped with an Ampex stereo system in all areas, which can fully preserve the entertainment experience."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This ship really shocked those who had never been exposed to yachts or the outside world.
Inside the yacht, there is an atmosphere of privacy and luxury everywhere. It is said that the exquisite carpets under your feet were ordered by Andrew's father in Denmark.
Andrew doesn't like artificial lighting, so just hide a few lights in the corners of the lounge and dining room so that candles can illuminate the evening gatherings, creating the ideal atmosphere.
When Li Xuewu went to the toilet, he even found gold-plated things everywhere in the toilet and bathroom.
No wonder Andrew kept showing off in front of him, I bet this old man really has something.
Of course, Andrew introduced the various antique collections on the ship. Even the dining table and chairs are antique furniture from the 16th century.
The only thing I didn't show off was the gold in the toilet, maybe because I thought the price had dropped, which is the consistent style of the aristocracy.
In fact, what surprised Li Xuewu was that the long-distance sailing capability mentioned by Andrew was that in addition to oil and electricity reserves, this ship also had a set of fresh water treatment capabilities.
In later generations, everyone may know that the very common reverse osmosis technology and household water purification filtration equipment can be enjoyed for a few thousand yuan.
But at this time, seawater desalination systems had already appeared and were even fully installed on yachts.
It is not reverse osmosis technology, but a system called a waste heat evaporator, which is a water generator that uses steam to convert seawater.
Andrew had just introduced him to kitchen appliances, and he saw more modern electrical equipment in the bathroom.
Air conditioning, automatic sprinkler system, washing machine, tumble dryer, and household appliances are all available, as if you have returned to the future.
In the master bedroom where Zhou Xiaobai and the two played, Andrew introduced to him why a yacht can be called a yacht, not a pleasure boat.
In addition to radar and autopilot equipment, the ship is also equipped with a sophisticated bow thruster, a large anchor winch and a hydraulic steering device.
Li Xuewu was very sure that these gadgets had only appeared on ships. They would be too luxurious to be used on yachts.
Andrew says the boat can further improve comfort by fitting two retractable fin stabilizers.
Gyro control and hydraulic drive reduce the turbulence on the sea from 15% to 1.5%.
