China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 442 Wrong Instruction
The light is the waves produced by the "collision" of sea water and ice.

On a calm night, no one would feel that there is anything blocking their navigation on the wide, unobstructed sea surface.

The crew thought so.

The captain thought so too.

At this moment, the Titanic is sailing at a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour, which is extremely fast.

At this time, the captain also received a signal from a ship also sailing in the North Atlantic.

They are all warning that due to the mild winter, icebergs that originally only drifted within a certain area have now arrived in the North Atlantic.

All ships must drive carefully and avoid glaciers during navigation, otherwise there is a risk of collision and crash.

After receiving the news, Titanic's captain Smith Leake informed the crew to look for a telescope.

After searching for a long time, I still found nothing.

I had no choice but to stand on the deck and beside the ship's side, looking far into the distance and observing the surrounding navigation environment.

In the North Atlantic, where an obstacle may suddenly pop up, increasing the speed to 23 knots at night when the line of sight is blocked is as dangerous as pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth.

The reason for making this decision was simply because he wanted to test the maximum speed of the cruise ship.

The vice-captain, who holds the key to the iron cabinet, did not board the cruise ship due to some personal reasons.

No one knew that at this moment, the only telescope on the ship was stored at the bottom of a locked iron cabinet.

The North Atlantic is not the kind of safe navigation area where you can see at a glance that there are no obstacles around you.

During such a rapid voyage, how could it be possible to tell with the naked eye whether there were any obstructions nearby?
Facts have proved that it is really clear...

And in order to achieve his goal, he didn't even mind using the thousands of lives on the entire ship as a foil.

Joseph also boarded the cruise ship.

On the contrary, the sea conditions here are extremely complex.

Although the Titanic was designed and built to be very luxurious, there were also fatal mistakes.

Of course, it was Joseph who gave the order for the Titanic to sail at full speed.

Joseph strongly demanded that the number of lifeboats be reduced to achieve the result of flowing out of the vast space.

This is extremely dangerous.

Of course, ignore this embarrassing question for now.

Here comes the problem.

In order to make the ship's deck more open.

The crew found no lookout glass.

The person who issued this order was Joseph, the designer of the cruise ship and chairman of the shipping company.

Because when the crew member observed a hazy black shadow not far away, his heart skipped a beat, and he sounded the alarm all the time, and then reported the situation to the captain.

By the way, it’s worth mentioning that normal cruise travel does not actually require such extremely fast speeds.

After receiving the report, the captain immediately issued instructions.

The Titanic immediately slowed down and then turned left.

But there seems to be some problem with this operation.

Although the speed of issuing instructions was very fast when traveling at a rapid speed, when all the crew members immediately followed the captain's instructions, a large black shadow within the distance of the Titanic, oh, it can be said to be an iceberg now, seemed to be only Less than 500 meters away.

It was originally traveling at a high speed.

If you want to slow down, you must lower the propellers of the entire cabin to the bottom.

But this resulted in a lack of power on the throttle, and as a result of the deceleration, the left turn also slowed down.

In the end, there was no time to completely avoid the iceberg, and the right side of the hull still collided with the iceberg.

The side of the ship suddenly broke and the cabin leaked.

The night is approaching 12 midnight. It was supposed to be time for a deep sleep.

So when they sensed the impact, some people didn't even have time to react as to what happened.

The hull is huge, so when the side of the ship collides with the iceberg, the shaking of the hull is not that violent.

Those who feel it most clearly are not the upper class in the most luxurious cabins.

Instead, it was the people in the third-class cabin at the bottom.

The cabin was torn open and seawater poured in.

The captain sent a distress signal, asking for help from a ship sailing in Beida Township to come to the rescue.

Many ships responded to the signal and came one after another.

But the North Atlantic is so wide.

There are countless ships sailing on the sea.

Unfortunately for the Titanic, the closest ship to them, under power sailing, would have taken at least four hours to reach them.

There is actually another ship in the nearby waters.

However, due to the different regions, the rescue signal sent by the captain was not understood by the captain of that ship.

At this point, the Titanic faced the only ending of being alone and silent.

And the passengers finally realized what happened to the Titanic.

Countless passengers were on the verge of emotional collapse.

In order to calm the passengers' emotions, the captain ordered the orchestra to play music to calm everyone's uneasiness and fear.

Until the last moment of the cruise ship sinking, the band still maintained the captain's order. In the end, all the members of the band, together with the instruments they played, followed the Titanic and sank to the bottom of the sea.

After the discussion, Smith issued an order to activate lifeboats to escort a group of people away first.

Women and children come first.

But this kind of self-rescue behavior still has unfair treatment.

Because no one cares about the people at the bottom of society who originally lived in third class.

First, those who left in the lifeboat were men, women, and children whose social status was far above them.

Even the first lifeboat that was lowered was not full. It was filled with noble aristocratic women and children who were not willing to share the rest of their deeds with the common people at the bottom.

Consider this an insult to them.

The guns held by the crew blocked the third-class crew from trying to get into the lifeboat.

There was no way, even though many of the lifeboat seats were not full, they still fled in a hurry and refused to call more people to get on.

Those who were refused boarding the lifeboat had no choice but to jump into the low-temperature sea wearing life jackets.

Faced with such a desperate scene.

The lifeboat did not choose to come to their aid.

Because I am afraid that the cruise ship will be trapped in the whirlpool in the sea and be sucked into it.

In fact, after escaping from the locked cabin, Jack had been persuading Rose to let him leave in the lifeboat first.

Rose was among those eligible to leave in a lifeboat.

Even his status as a noble girl can provide him with convenience.

Rose hesitated and was persuaded by Jack, and walked towards the lifeboat step by step.

But at the last moment, he turned around and returned to Jack's arms without hesitation.

He was unwilling to leave early. He wanted to advance and retreat together with Jack, and he had to see Jack was safe before he could feel relieved.
