After determining that his target was the engine room, Lu Feng began to recall the specific structure of the "Yayo" on the drawings, looking for a route to enter the engine room.
A warship is a three-dimensional structure. In order to maximize the use of space, many parts of it are interconnected.
If you want to go to the engine room, there are passages from the front, rear, left and right. There is even an upward passage in the engine room directly connected to the bridge command room.
After all, no matter how bad the conditions in the engine room are, it is still a key department that affects the normal operation of the entire ship. If something goes wrong, the captain must be notified as soon as possible.
Looking at the illuminated bridge command room, Lu Feng shook his head and got in through the hatch at the stern of the ship. Along the way, he quietly controlled his steps and kept his senses fully open to avoid any unexpected encounters with anyone.
Fortunately, there were signs with Chinese characters everywhere on the Japanese Navy warships, so Lu Feng found his way to the engine room smoothly.
When Lu Feng was still far away, he smelled a strong smell of oil vapor, mixed with some indescribable rancid smell that made him want to vomit.
Lu Feng stood there and tried his best to get used to such a disgusting smell before quietly entering the engine room.
There was no one inside.
Lu Feng did not relax. He carefully wandered around the engine room, trying to find a suitable hiding place.
After completing one lap, Lu Feng was a little disappointed.
The space on the warship is really too compact, especially this Mutsuki-class destroyer, which is an abnormal product under the "Washington Treaty". It has a limited displacement and is equipped with various weapons and equipment.
Make the already narrow space become even more cramped.
In the engine room, except for the area above the engine, the rest of the slightly vacant space has been occupied by others.
The cots hung just like this among various pipes, covered with a thick layer of grease that had not been washed for who knows how many years.
In a relatively open location, Lu Feng saw a piece of canvas that was slightly cleaner than other beds. There was also a speaker connected to a metal pipe on the canvas bed.
If you put your ear close, you can still vaguely hear the sounds coming from inside.
This metal pipe is connected to the bridge command room. There are many similar metal pipes in the bridge command room, which are connected to other important departments on the warship.
Well, this is a communicator.
There is no electrified communication equipment on warships these days. In addition to relying on communications personnel, the internal communication of warships relies on this very hard-core microphone.
In order to ensure the sensitivity of this communicator, the entire metal tube is not only made of copper, but also specially wrapped with soft materials such as rubber to reduce its communication interference.
But despite the good effect of this thing now, through the loudspeaker, Lu Feng could hear a group of staff on duty in the bridge command room getting together to play a gambling game.
But once the warship starts moving and the engine in the engine room sounds, even if you cover all your ears, it will be difficult to hear clearly what is being said on the other side.
Therefore, in this era where communication basically relies on shouting, naval officers and soldiers from various countries generally have a relatively rigid requirement:
Speak louder!
With such a small voice, you still want to drive a warship?
Lu Feng probably listened to the conversation in the bridge command room for a while. In addition to the content about bets and cards, the rest was some daily complaints about missing their hometown of Satsuma Domain.
And coveting the land of China.
Lu Feng heard that many of the Japanese soldiers on duty had brought their families to the Port Arthur and Dalian areas, purchased a large amount of land, and enslaved Chinese people to farm for them.
What they grow is not food crops, but poppies.
Nowadays, the main opium supply areas in the Republic of China are Luda and Manchuria. The Japanese even have specialized agricultural experts who are improving opium poppies to make them more productive. (This kind of technology, like the poison gas warfare technology, was completely preserved by the United States after World War II. For example, the ones grown in the Golden Triangle and Colombia were all given by the United States and were improved by the Japanese.)
Relying on such acts of aggression, these Japanese navy generally accumulated rich net worth and became well-known figures in their hometowns.
As a result, more and more Japanese young people have begun to devote themselves to joining the army, and their desire for aggressive war has become stronger and stronger.
Among them, the Japanese government’s deliberate propaganda is naturally indispensable.
After listening, Lu Feng couldn't listen anymore.
He was afraid that if he couldn't help it, he would kill those people in the bridge command room right now.
After calming down a little, Lu Feng looked at a small hatch behind the cot.
This hatch is square in shape, roughly 60*60 in size, and can barely fit an adult into it.
There is also a sign hanging above the cabin door:
"Emergency Escape Exit"
Lu Feng looked at it and confirmed that there were no special marks on it, then opened the hatch and poked his head in to take a look.
Inside is a staircase that goes straight up and down, about five or six meters high.
Lu Feng got in, closed the hatch, and climbed all the way to the top.
There is a locked iron door here. It is locked with an ingot screw. As long as the ingot screw is unscrewed, the door should be able to be opened.
Lu Feng made a rough deduction based on the ship's structural diagram. The deck should be outside the door, and the bridge command room should be opposite.
As for his current location, it should be inside the middle chimney of the destroyer. The huge metal pipe behind him is the exhaust pipe of the engine.
Standing on it, Lu Feng looked down and found that as long as he stayed close to the locked door or hid behind the exhaust pipe, almost no one would be able to spot him.
This is a very suitable location.
However, looking at this huge metal exhaust pipe, Lu Feng could also imagine how bad the environment here would become once the Yayoi started moving.
But it's a hiding place after all, isn't it?
After roughly measuring the specific dimensions, Lu Feng was ready to leave.
Tonight is just a reconnaissance operation. The specific operation time of the "Yayoi" has not yet been determined, so he does not need to lurk in so early.
Following the original path, he went down to the engine room, closed the emergency escape hatch, and quietly returned to the deck.
Looking back at the lights in the bridge command room, Lu Feng gritted his teeth.
The life of holding a grudge is really annoying.
Immediately, just as he came, he descended to the Huangpu River along the tow rope, and swam all the way back to the Suzhou River from the bottom of the river.
As usual, he found a deserted spot and came out of the water. After wiping away the water stains, Lu Feng returned to the Paramount Hotel.
After taking a look at the room, he saw that the bathroom light was not on, so Lu Feng got in directly through the window.
I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that almost two hours had passed since I went back and forth.
Lu Feng took off his sealskin swimsuit in the bathroom. After taking a hot bath, he walked out and asked Yu Manli:
"When I went out, no one came over, right?"
"No."
Yu Manli shook her head.
Lu Feng guessed it was the same.
This is just like when I was working in sales, accompanying the manager to socialize with big customers.
Once you enter the room, almost no one will come out within an hour or two.
This is a matter of face.
If anyone comes out too early and other people find out, I'm afraid it won't be long before he receives various advertisements for men's hospitals pushed by big data.
Obviously, this set of theories is also applicable to the current Republic of China.
"Okay, you can rest now. I can sleep on the sofa. Good night."
After feeling that nothing happened, Lu Feng said hello to Yu Manli, then laid down on the soft sofa in the room with a blanket.
Fall into a deep sleep.
