More than half an hour later, Lu Xuan and his two companions arrived at their destination first, pushing two carts.
As for Miss Yin, she was still in the sea directing Aphrodite to give her all.
“Go, go, go…”
Poor Aphrodite, after countless encouragements from Yin Yichen, finally arrived in front of the yacht before collapsing from exhaustion.
"Come on, I'll take you to appreciate this yacht."
Aphrodite was already exhausted and out of breath, but Yin Yichen was still full of energy.
Seeing Miss Yin jumping down from the boat lively and energetically, Lu Xuan shrugged at Chen Keyin and Leng Mengyao, meaning: See, this girl has a very good physical condition.
"Keyin, you stay down there with Aphrodite. I'll take Taylor and Mengyao up."
"What about her?"
Shen Keyin frowned and pointed at Yin Yichen who was about to start climbing the hull.
"Well...let her be."
Lu Xuan had no way to deal with Yin Yichen. This girl was too active and never had a moment's rest. If he insisted on asking her to stay under the yacht and wait, he guessed that Shen Keyin and Aphrodite would be driven crazy by her nagging. It would be better to let her do whatever she wanted. After all, he was very familiar with this yacht and nothing would go wrong.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her. You two, stay under the yacht and keep an eye on your surroundings, even though the fog is quite thick."
Leng Mengyao was very worried about the lingering fog, so he specially asked Chen Keyin to take care of him.
"Don't worry, Luo Luo and I aren't going anywhere. We'll just stay here. Lu Xuan, Meng Yao, here's the hemp rope. As for the scissors and other tools, Meng Yao has already put them in your backpack. Taylor also has some tools."
Shen Keyin nodded solemnly, then handed the bundle of hemp rope on the cart to Lu Xuan.
"As usual, you and Mengyao go find the supplies you think you need. It's foggy and humid, so be careful and don't separate. Taylor and I will go to the machinery room first."
After leaving Shen Keyin and Aphrodite behind, Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao took Taylor and followed Yin Yichen, who had already boarded the yacht first, and boarded the yacht again.
"Yichen, don't run around. Stay here. Taylor, you stay here too. I'll go around and check the situation."
After boarding the ship, Lu Xuan first pulled back Yin Yichen, who was ready to make a big move as if she had entered the free market.
As usual, for safety reasons, he needed to make a circle around the yacht and inspect its latest situation. Especially since it was foggy today, Lu Xuan had to be even more cautious.
"Okay, we'll stay here and not go anywhere. Please be careful."
Leng Mengyao has traveled with Lu Xuan many times. There are some things that Lu Xuan doesn't need to say much, as they have already reached a tacit understanding.
Carrying a bamboo fork and a dagger in his arms, Lu Xuan began another boat trip.
From the bow to the stern, and then through the stairs going down to the bottom deck, there didn't seem to be much change except that the deck was slightly wet.
Lu Xuan inadvertently lowered his head and looked towards the depths of the stairs, and a sense of foreboding quietly crept into his heart - in the cabin on the bottom floor, the accumulated water that had originally receded seemed to have reappeared.
"Handsome boy, are you done with the inspection? Any new discoveries?"
If Leng Mengyao hadn't been watching Miss Yin, this girl would have followed Lu Xuan long ago.
"Nothing special, basically safe. The only change is that water seems to be accumulating in the bottom hold again. I'm worried that the hull has been damaged, so there is internal water seepage."
Lu Xuan told everyone everything he had observed.
"Brother Lu Xuan, I observed the situation from below and found that you have indeed reinforced the ship, so the stability of the hull is not a problem. However, part of the hull is indeed submerged in seawater. If the hull itself is damaged, it is possible that water leakage may occur."
Taylor had obviously done some preliminary investigation under the yacht before boarding, so he was not surprised by the water leakage problem mentioned by Lu Xuan.
"So we need to go down to the bottom floor before the seawater completely floods the cabin. We need to take away anything that is useful and can be moved. Mengyao, you and Yichen go down first and investigate. Once you've investigated thoroughly, come find us in the engine room."
Lu Xuan now has to prepare for the worst, which is that in the near future, water will seep into the entire bottom cabin and the first layer of the hull, and the entire yacht may begin to sink, or even be completely invaded by sea water again.
"Okay, two handsome guys, just relax and leave it to us."
Yin Yichen patted her chest and made the promise.
After the four of them split into two groups, Lu Xuan took Taylor to the mechanical room.
"This is the engine room of the entire yacht. Take a look and see if we can move some equipment that might be useful to us, especially the electrical system."
This was not the first time Lu Xuan came to the mechanical room, but due to his limited understanding of these devices, he could only stop and admire them. Thinking of disassembling them and taking them back was simply a fantasy.
"Okay, let me take a look first."
Taylor took the flashlight Lu Xuan handed him and began to examine it carefully.
With this professional's help, Lu Xuan felt relieved and stood outside the engine room, holding the railing of the yacht.
After six or seven minutes, Taylor seemed to have finished his research.
"Brother Lu Xuan, there are three main systems here. One is the diesel generator set responsible for the ship's movement, and the second is the yacht's internal power system, which also uses a diesel generator set. However, it is almost impossible for us to dismantle these two systems and rebuild them. Firstly, they involve too many aspects. The entire power supply system is definitely not just the equipment we can see with our naked eyes now. Secondly, the diesel fuel on this yacht has run out. If I'm guessing correctly, the oil tank is likely damaged. Therefore, even if we can dismantle these two systems, they will be useless to us."
Taylor told Lu Xuan all his conclusions. Lu Xuan listened to most of it. What he cared about was not the process but the result. According to Taylor, the first two systems were completely useless to him.
"What about the third set? Does it work?"
Lu Xuan couldn't wait to ask about the third system.
"The third set is an auxiliary solar power generation system. The power of this system is limited, so it is only used as a backup. However, for us, if we only need to provide daily lighting and low-power electrical appliances, this power is more than enough."
Finally, there was good news. After hearing Taylor's last words, Lu Xuan finally felt relieved.
It’s enough to have one for use. Why do I need a bicycle?
"Handsome boy, handsome boy, where are you? Look, what I found for you!"
Lu Xuan had just breathed a sigh of relief when Miss Yin's voice came from the back of the yacht...
