为了检测引擎里是否进了水雾，她选了个晴天，爬进了船体。 如果她在边上看得到亮光，她就换掉束帆索和活门。她仔细地排查出现水滴，盐斑，渗漏和沉渣聚积的可疑地方。如果她啥毛病也没找到，她就去查看排气气口和盖垫密片。船体的晃动和安置也可能引起位移。她选用螺纹杆和防松螺帽来固定压板。每晚她都用丝巾裹着头发入睡。 她挤了挤软管。在吸力作用下，软塌塌，掉色或是脱落的软管是会支撑不住的。这样引擎就不能操作了。她知道即使是全新的固定件终究也会被腐蚀的。腐蚀的裂口看起来像是锈斑从固定件上喷出来的。她移动，替换和浇注轴承老的部件。终于，她发现了问题的原因。她仔细排查出问题的胶衣，尤其是重要的部位，如船的底部，龙骨，缘线等的边角。 她确保船轴承上的轴子是均匀受重的。轴子的长度会使一点点小的偏移的问题突出。她检查了填料的封套，甚至是支柱。一旦牺牲阳极失掉一半的重量（不是尺寸），她就换掉它们。如果一个大型阳极看起来像瑞士奶酪一样的话，事情就不好了。她绝不会去油漆它们。

Liu Dao 六岛 (pinyin: Liù dǎo) is a Shanghai-based art collective of tech-geeks and creative talents driven by innovation and interaction. The collective produces cutting edge art that constantly contemplates the future of Asia, engages sights and scenes from old and new China and elevates the skills of new talents by working from a communal forum. Liu Dao’s art is visual, interactive, conceptual, humorous, and somber – but always striking, always involving fresh takes on modern technology, and always the product of collaboration. Since Liu Dao’s beginning, painters, sculptors, photographers, filmmakers, new media artists, software and digital imaging artists, dancers, writers, engineers and curators have worked together to produce original, intriguing shows. island6 Arts Center often features guest directors and guest curators for different exhibitions, allowing an international and cross-cultural foundation for original ideas to be born from many sources of input rather than one.
