33. I was scolded as shameless for playing Super Evolution Story today, I have written down this hat
"In that case, why did the ship sink?"
The rabbit asked a question that everyone knew the answer to, so it seemed stupid. But in general, stupid questions like this are necessary when telling stories.
"Because there was a group of icebergs in front of the ship..." Rose replied with a smile. "We had no choice at the time."
…
84 years ago.
An iceberg that broke off from Greenland lies in front of the ship.
The crew and the captain and chairman who came later were sweating in the cold night.
They simply couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be if the ship hit an iceberg. No one knew better than them how many lifeboats there were on the ship... Once it hit the iceberg, more than half of the people on the big ship would sink to the bottom of the sea with the ship.
The iceberg gradually moved away, and when everyone wanted to cheer, a shadow appeared in front of the Titanic.
It was a desperate scene.
"I can't save you now." Mu Su spread his palms, looking like he was a damn ghost who couldn't persuade him with words.
Just after escaping from the crisis, the crew members plunged into a bigger crisis.
Under the command of old Captain Edward, all the crew members were busy.
The boiler room turns off the power, restores the rudder, and changes from full forward to reverse.
But it was too difficult for such a huge ship to stop immediately. Even if everyone tried their best, the Titanic still entered the drifting icebergs.
This large ship is so heavy that it is almost impossible to pass through the icebergs.
This means that they are bound to hit an iceberg.
The fainted second mate and crew members were still slumped in the corner, ignored.
Captain Edward stared ahead and said without looking back: "Go and send a telegram. The Titanic has hit an iceberg and needs rescue."
The crew trotted away.
Based on the current situation, the captain and first mate quickly analyzed that the iceberg they were about to hit was the iceberg.
It is very low, maybe only one meter high, as flat as a mirror, but it is the largest thing in this iceberg group.
Other icebergs look like broken glaciers, but this one looks like it broke off from the Arctic continental plate.
"Turn the direction and let the bow of the ship hit it." The captain issued a new instruction. Since it is unavoidable, the loss should be minimized.
The instructions were passed on, and the passengers who heard some noise walked onto the deck and were calmed down by the crew.
A disheveled figure hurried into the captain's cabin. The chairman of the White Star Line was still fastening his buttons.
"I heard we hit an iceberg, right?"
Captain Edward looked at him, paused briefly, and then told the whole story.
Joseph figured out the truth of the matter, finally buttoned his clothes, and stretched out his hand to Mu Su: "Mr. Mu Su, on behalf of Platinum Shipping Company, I would like to express my highest gratitude to you. You will be our White Star Line and my personal
Best friend."
"What should we do next?" Joseph asked the captain.
"The bow of the ship hit the iceberg to minimize the risk."
"What a crazy idea..." Joseph murmured. Although the chairman was greedy for life and afraid of death, he knew that the old captain's move was the right one.
After an extremely long few minutes, the bow of the ship finally hit the glacier under the sea.
The ship's hull shook slightly, and the cooling coffee rippled round and round. The Titanic's stability and solidity took effect at this time, but it seemed like a joke.
The call was put into the captain's cabin, and three cabins of the Titanic were flooded.
The captain looked at the designer Thomas who was sweating coldly: "I remember in the design, this big ship can see water in five cabins without being silent."
Thomas shook his head and said: "The three cabins are too concentrated..."
The implication is clear to everyone.
In the silence, the captain asked: "How long can she last?"
"We can send a message to the nearby ships Player, the Isabel and—"
"I'm asking how long this ship can last!"
"...it will sink completely in five hours..."
It is twice as long as the original two and a half hours.
"Do we have less than four hours..." Edward fell silent.
"How do you know there will be icebergs ahead..." Jack approached Mu Su and asked in a low voice.
"Because I'm Chinese." Mu Su responded casually.
"What does this have to do with the Chinese...?"
"Because China is very mysterious..."
"Mr. Musu." Edward interrupted the meaningless exchange between the two, and looked at him sincerely with his old, muddy eyes: "If you have a way, I hope you can give your advice and save everyone on this ship again."
For a moment, everyone in the captain's room focused their attention on Mu Su.
"Let women and children get on the lifeboats -" Mu Su said in a long voice.
Everyone is disappointed, this is just the most common way to save oneself.
"——Then climb up the iceberg one after another."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Joseph asked urgently: "Are you sure?"
Mu Su pushed up the non-existent glasses on the bridge of his nose and sneered: "It is very big, there is no possibility of disintegrating and capsizing, and it will only drift with the ocean currents. It is enough to carry most people on the ship."
They looked at the mirror-like flat and low iceberg in front of the Titanic.
It is only half a meter or even lower than the sea surface, and it looks very hard...
Edward decisively gave the order: "First officer, you go and inform all passengers that the Titanic hit the iceberg. First officer, you are responsible. According to Mr. Mu Su, women and children will get on first."
Everyone who wanted to reappear got busy.
The lifeboat was hoisted down and the crew notified the passengers one by one.
Chaotic noises rang out in the quiet night.
"Are we in New York?"
"Mom, I can't find my socks."
"My collections..."
"Never mind those damn things! We're pulling people, not things!"
"Why don't you let me on board! Do you know my identity?"
"Someone doesn't want to leave!"
"Tell him he has to leave! Everyone can survive!"
The deck was crowded with people, and because there was still enough time, the crew directed the passengers in an orderly manner, with women and children boarding first - this time the rich had no privileges.
One lifeboat after another pulled women and children to the glacier hundreds of meters away, landed, and then returned.
Jack and Rose were temporarily separated. Rose got on the lifeboat and looked back at the ship that had tilted slightly.
Whoosh——
A bright light rose into the sky, suddenly lit up, and beautiful fireworks spread out, illuminating the sea area and everyone's faces.
No one thought that the Titanic would be shipwrecked, so no one prepared flares.
So everyone enjoyed the most unforgettable fireworks in their lives.
"I'm the last one to leave." When the women and girls had finished transporting, Mu Su said to the crew who had been summoned respectfully.
He felt it was necessary to establish a heroic image for himself.
An orderly evacuation was carried out, and two hours later, all people and pets on the ship were placed on the glacier.
"Everyone will thank you."
Edward stood next to Mu Su and said sincerely.
He looked at the large ship dumping in the sea, and there seemed to be a whisper.
