save the bachelors

Chapter 4241 4243 [taitannikehao]

After returning to the real world, Xiang Nan first carefully collected the treasures he brought back.

These are treasures that cannot be bought with money, and many of them can be considered national special cultural relics.

Not to mention the bronze wares of the last three dynasties, the jade wares of the Qin and Han dynasties, the pottery figurines, the calligraphy of the two Wangs, the calligraphy and paintings of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the official kilns of the Song dynasty...

Xiang Nan has several Xuande furnaces alone.

So far, no genuine furnace has been found in the world. It is extremely rare and has been sought after by collectors of all generations. People in every dynasty have imitated it, but it is difficult to achieve the same effect as it did back then.

Even so, these imitations are still very valuable and can often be auctioned for millions of dollars. If it is confirmed to be a genuine Xuande furnace, then the selling price will be more than 100 million.

After all, a small chicken-glazed cup could be sold for 250 million.

Of course, Xiang Nan wouldn’t auction it either.

He is not short of money at all. He keeps these antiques for his own enjoyment and will not sell them to others.

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan did not stay in the real world for long and started a new mission.

Because in the world of "Number One Under Heaven", after getting rid of Tiedan Shenhou, he and Haitang retired from the world and lived a peaceful and comfortable life for decades, so his mentality was very good and he didn't need to deliberately relax.

Therefore, he then opened the taskbar and saw that the task had been updated again.

"Michael Corleone hopes to reconcile with Kai; Chen Xuanzang hopes to stay with Miss Duan forever; Tony Stark hopes to spend the rest of his life with Pepper; Ning Caichen longs to stay with Nie Xiaoqian until old age; Zhu Bajie hopes to be with Xiaolongnu for life; Jack Dawson hopes to be with Rose DeWitt Bucket for life..."

After considering it, Xiang Nan finally chose Jack's mission.

Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bookett from the classic romance film Titanic.

The two met on the Titanic cruise ship and sparked an extremely passionate love, but in the end, with the sinking of the giant ship, this magnificent love also sank into the sea.

When Xiang Nan first watched this movie, he was about 11 or 12 years old. He didn't quite understand the love between the hero and heroine, nor the various behaviors of all living things when the giant ship sank.

The thing that impressed me most was Jack helping Rose draw, which made him blush and full of passion as he was in his growth period at that time.

When he grew up, Xiang Nan rewatched "Titanic" and realized the greatness of this work.

It is not only one of the highest-grossing films in the world, an extremely successful commercial film, but also a meticulously crafted and perfectly polished art film.

It is not only a love film, but also a disaster film. It praises the greatness of love, the preciousness of freedom, the nobility and meanness of human nature...

More importantly, nearly thirty years ago, in James Cameron's movies, the heroine was pursuing freedom and independence, wanting to break the shackles of rules, work and live like a man, wanting to be a painter, actor, dancer, wanting to ride a horse, drink beer, spit, chew tobacco...

No matter how difficult life was, she never sold the priceless Heart of the Ocean, simply because she didn't want to rely on her fiancé's money anymore.

  But thirty years later, some people began to question why the heroine abandoned the son of a steel tycoon and chose a penniless boy?

I even suspect that even if the male protagonist is lucky enough to survive, his life will become a mess after he and the female protagonist arrive in the United States because of the sadness of a poor couple. Why are people 30 years later more conservative than those 30 years ago? Not only have their thoughts progressed, but they have even regressed significantly.

Not only does he not care about the arranged marriage between the heroine and her fiancé, nor the violence inflicted upon the heroine by her fiancé, he even wishes he could become the heroine and perform a "domineering president falls in love with me" drama with the steel tycoon's son.

A report explains this problem very well: "High housing prices have destroyed young people's love and imagination.

They could have recited poetry, traveled together, and held book clubs, but now, young people become middle-aged as soon as they graduate from college and have to budget carefully for food and daily necessities.

Their lives, from the beginning, are materialistic and worldly, and they cannot experience a romantic life, a lifestyle that is oriented to the soul.”

……

Xiang Nan then re-watched the movie Titanic and collected relevant information for study.

The Titanic was a cruise ship that the British White Star Company began to build in 1909. It was 269 meters long, 28 meters wide, 31 meters high, with a draft of 18 meters from the waterline to the deck and a displacement of 46,000 tons. It was the largest and most luxurious cruise ship in the world at that time, and it also represented the highest level of British shipbuilding.

The Titanic is divided into nine floors from top to bottom. The top floor is the lifeboat deck, which is also the lounge for the wheelhouse, captain, first mate, etc. There is also a gym and walking trail, which are only for first-class and second-class guests.

Deck A to Deck B are reserved for first-class passengers, with bedrooms, bathrooms, restaurants, lounges, smoking rooms, cafes, etc.;

Deck C to Deck F are reserved for second-class passengers, with bedrooms, dining rooms, reading rooms, reception rooms, smoking rooms, swimming pools, Turkish baths, etc.;

G deck is for third class passengers, with four-person shared rooms, dining room and lounge area. The last deck H deck is the boiler room and warehouse.

In the movie, the hero Jack Dawson won the third-class cabin on G deck. Compared with the luxurious rooms in the first-class cabin, it is nothing.

The Titanic was launched on May 31, 1911, and completed all its works on March 31, 1912. On April 10, it officially departed from Southampton Port and headed for New York, USA.

At 23:00 on the 14th, the Titanic collided with an iceberg. Three hours later, it broke into two and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 3,700 meters.

There were 2,224 people on board, only 700 survived, and the remaining 1,500 died. Only 300 bodies were recovered.

It also became one of the most tragic shipwrecks in human shipping history. It can be said to be a thrilling and cruel tragedy.

……

The early twentieth century was also the most important era in modern human history.

In 1901, the Nobel Prize was established; in 1903, the Wright brothers invented the airplane; in 1904, President Roosevelt used an undersea cable to send a telegram from San Francisco to Manila in Luzon; in 1905, Einstein proposed the theory of special relativity; in 1907, radio broadcasting was born...

In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution broke out in China, overthrowing the corrupt and backward Qing Dynasty. In the same year, humans reached Antarctica for the first time; in 1913, the Panama Canal was opened, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans;

In 1914, the leaders of the feminist movement fought for women's voting rights in the UK; in the same year, the First World War broke out, the Russian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the German Empire collapsed one after another, and the Soviet Union, the first socialist country in history, emerged...

It was a turbulent and soul-stirring era.
