Chapter 482 A Tense Moment



This amount of alcohol definitely won't last until the download is finished; we'll have to find another way. Finally, pour out the water from the can and fill it with alcohol. Make a small hole so the alcohol can slowly drip out.

Because alcohol is non-conductive, it can be used for emergency treatments while the circuit is powered on.

The advantage is that it can be used in emergencies, but the disadvantage is that the heat source of the entire set of equipment operates in a high-temperature mode, which accelerates the aging of the hardware.

Regardless of its age, this thing has done an indispensable job as long as it downloads what the user wants.

Even if you use it up this time, it's not a big deal to throw it away.

The staff on the perimeter told Xing Baohua over the walkie-talkie, "Boss, the ship that's picking us up will arrive in half an hour. They said they'll wait for us for a maximum of fifteen minutes."

"Tell them that they will wait for us for 50 minutes to an hour at the latest."

After a while, the walkie-talkie crackled to life again: "Boss, the boat captain says he can't wait any longer because a typhoon is expected to pass through in about seven hours. We have to leave early, otherwise his boat won't be able to withstand such a strong storm."

Xing Baohua was furious!

Don't you check the weather forecast before going out?

"Tell the boat captain not to go back to Hong Kong, but to go straight to the mainland," Xing Baohua said, continuing to stare at the progress bar.

After watching for a while, I observed the operation of the equipment. Fortunately, there was alcohol, which temporarily lowered the temperature by a few degrees.

The problem isn't with the alcohol; it's with the chip's quality. Whether it can last another half hour is anyone's guess; it might break down at any moment. We can't say all our efforts have been wasted, but it's a pity, since quite a lot hasn't been downloaded yet.

The files that were downloaded to the hard drive are considered saved, but whether they are important or not, nobody knows.

With a heavy heart and a sense of unease, I looked at the still-running equipment, feeling an indescribable bitterness.

"Sweet potato, sweet potato."

"Sweet potatoes received, please speak."

"Take out two of the patrolmen. Report complete."

"Received. Be careful and watch your surroundings." Xing Baohua breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sweet potato, sweet potato, I've taken over the monitoring room. It's safe now."

"Received. Burn all tape equipment during withdrawal."

At this point, Xing Baohua checked the progress bar again and saw that it had reached 79%, almost finished downloading. At this rate, it would take another 15 to 20 minutes.

The final crucial moments were extremely difficult.

"Boss, the hard drive assembly is also showing abnormal temperatures," Geng Xin suddenly said.

This is killing me! You can't afford to make a mistake with this thing.

He walked over quickly and checked the solder joints. Just as Xing Baohua had thought, some of the pins had cracked due to overheating, which caused several memory chips to short-circuit and overheat.

A memory module costing a few thousand dollars might have a problem, but the heat caused by a short circuit is fatal; it can easily burn out the logic chip.

Recovering downloaded files is quite difficult.

The optical modem failed, so the download stopped. One of the small servers had a problem, while the other was working normally, but its computing speed was slow, which also slowed down the download speed.

The real problem is the hard drive. If that thing malfunctions, you have to stop working and take it back for repairs.

"Geng Xin, come here." Xing Baohua beckoned Geng Xin closer to the stitches pointing to the crack, and said, "See this spot? Find something insulating to weigh it down, a matchstick, a plastic stick or anything will do, hurry up and find it to weigh it down."
