Rebirth 1912 starts with people on the Titanic

Chapter 8 Fate Reincarnation, History Repeats Itself

Time passes slowly.

The night is like ink over the calm Atlantic Ocean.

Only on the Titanic's huge body, there are still bright lights shining through the cabins on all floors.

On the Atlantic Ocean in April, the sea breeze is still extremely cold, making people shiver.

The passengers who had just been walking and chatting on the deck were also slowly dispersed under the pressure of the severe cold.

The Titanic thoughtfully prepared heating for all the people in the cabin, and everyone honestly returned to the cabin to enjoy the warmth.

Only a handful of young men of good blood remained on deck, doing indescribable things.

Bruce returned to the deck and more than once observed the lookouts on the high watchtower.

At midnight, the air was even colder.

There were basically no more passengers hanging out on the deck.

It was only by chance that Bruce saw a man and a woman hugging each other in a corner of the deck where he was, kissing passionately.

They thought that the hiding place was hidden enough, but they did not know that the two sailors standing on the lookout from above happened to be able to see what was happening below from a high vantage point.

At this moment, the men and women in the shadows kissed and forgot to kiss, and they also watched from the lookout to get carried away.

During this period, they even exchanged heads and ears, laughing and exchanging a few words, completely forgetting their own work.

Seeing this scene, Bruce knew that something big was wrong.

Annoyed, Bruce raised his head, his hands in a trumpet gesture between his lips, and angrily reminded the two lookouts loudly.

"Damn, don't get distracted, keep an eye on the sea!" cried Bruce.

The two lookouts were reminded by this, and the two who were watching the live performance were very displeased.

He

cursed a few nosy words in his mouth before reluctantly withdrawing his gaze from the pair of men and women who had forgotten to kiss.

By the faint light, the lookouts could not see too far into the sea.

Suddenly, one of the lookouts turned very ugly.

He quickly picked up a telescope hanging from his chest and glanced at the sea in the dark.

"Hey, Raul, what are you doing? Are you really stupid enough to think that our ship will be in danger at sea?" haha......" The other lookout laughed at his companion.

The Titanic is the largest, most luxurious, and most technologically developed giant ship in the world.

Almost everyone in the world who knows about it doesn't think there's anything else on the ocean that can put this huge steel ship in danger.

Except, of course, warships!

"Shut up, Ben, look, what's over there?" scolded Raul impatiently.

"What's that?" muttered the scolded Ben, who picked up the binoculars and looked at them.

At this look, he was suddenly scared into a cold sweat.

In his field of vision, a huge black silhouette was slowly approaching the Titanic.

"Oh, damn it! It's an iceberg, it's a huge iceberg. Damn it, Raul, sound the alarm. "

After all, it was a crew member with experience in sailing, and it only took a moment to analyze the true identity of the black silhouette.

Speaking of which, most of the sailors and crew on the Titanic were retired sailors from the Royal Navy fleet in England.

Their experience in sailing is one of the most seasoned in the world.

Raul was equally aware of the urgency of the situation.

Without reminding Ben again, he immediately sounded the siren next to him.

At the same time, Ben also picked up the phone from the lookout.

"Alarm, alarm, right front, a little direction. Iceberg! Iceberg! Repeat, a little direction iceberg is approaching. "

Ben's loud voice all reached the ears of Bruce, who was watching them.

Bruce showed a wry smile on his face: "Fate is reincarnated, history is repeating itself!".

At this time, Bruce was not too frightened.

Since fate has long been predestined, it is good to meet it calmly.

The second officer, Murdoch, was drowsy when he was awakened by the screeching of the telephone.

He picked up the phone, and the watchman was heard in horror.

"Iceberg?" Murdoch didn't react.

However, without allowing him to think too much, his eyes slowly widened.

Because there is no need for him to doubt it at all, the facts have already told him how dangerous the situation is.

From the window in front of the cab, Murdoch could already clearly see the source of the crisis.

An iceberg with a height almost the same as that of the Titanic suddenly appeared on the Titanic's route under the cover of night.

"Oh shit, turn the rudder to the left and slow down and reverse!".

Almost instinctively, Murdoch made the worst decision of his life.

The first mate also saw the thrilling scene.

Under Murdoch's almost roaring command, the first mate also instinctively made a left rudder according to Murdoch's order, and at the same time slowed down the reversing action.

It's unfortunate.

Even if the well-trained English sailors did everything they could, tragedy was inevitable.

The Titanic was too close to the iceberg.

With the size and tonnage of the Titanic, it is impossible to stop the ship and reverse the ship in such a short distance.

All the crew and sailors in the wheelhouse could only watch the sea surface, crossed their hands, and prayed for a miracle.

Miracles, nature doesn't happen!

No matter how the huge Titanic dodged under the operation of the helmsman, it still inevitably collided with the iceberg.

Instead of a strong and stable bow, it collided head-on with an iceberg with a relatively weak side of the ship.

There was a loud muffled "bang".

The hull of the huge Titanic shook violently.

Two huge "giant beasts" on the sea collided with unimaginable force.

A huge block of ice on the iceberg was smashed by the Titanic.

Huge pieces of broken ice scattered on the deck of the Titanic and scattered all over the ground.

And that's just the beginning.

A series of piercing and sharp sounds like a sickle cutting through a steel plate followed.

The part below the waterline of the Titanic collided with the iceberg fiercely, and then continued with the inertial power of the Titanic.

The Titanic was more than 90 meters sideways and was cut apart by an iceberg.

Like a beast of prey, the sea poured into the cabin in an instant.

There are five watertight chambers filled with the constant influx of seawater.

Finally, after a strong impact of about 40 seconds, the bulky Titanic finally stopped its movement and clinged to the iceberg.

"It's over!".

Looking at the huge iceberg close at hand, Murdoch was in mourning.

Such a strong vibration naturally couldn't escape Captain Smith's feelings.

So Smith, who had just rested, soon appeared in the cab.

He asked Murdoch with a grim face, "Murdoch, what's the matter?"

"Icebergs, we've hit icebergs. Murdoch's eyes were hollow, his lips were dry, and he pointed out with a pale face.

Smith glanced out the window, equally shocked.

However, he still managed to maintain his composure.

As the captain, no matter what happens at this time, he can't mess with himself first, otherwise, the situation will only get worse.

"Quickly, arrange maintenance workers, figure out the damage management situation as soon as possible, and make every effort to repair it. Smith commanded in as calm a tone as he could.

Murdoch soon went down to carry out Smith's orders.

At the same time, Andrew, the designer of the Titanic, who had not yet rested, also realized that something terrible could have happened.

He quickly put on his coat, subconsciously grabbed the hull blueprint on the table and rushed out of the room.

Similarly, in the first-class cabin on the upper deck, there were some people who realized what had just happened to the hull vibration.

A middle-aged lady nervously grabbed a passing waiter and asked, "Did something just happen?" "

The well-trained waiter still had a calm expression and a gentle smile, and bowed to the lady with an elegant demeanor: "Don't be nervous, dear lady, it was just a mechanical failure, and we will take care of it soon." "

Only then did the lady calm down a little, and returned to her room with a sigh of thought.

Andrew soon found Captain Smith.

He looked bad and asked, "Smith, what's going on?"

Smith closed his lips tightly, and his face was also bad: "Andrew, something may really be wrong." Our ship just hit an iceberg. "

"What did you say?" Andrew almost jumped up in shock when he heard this, "How's the situation, is it serious?".

Smith shook his head: "The specific situation is not clear, but ......

."

At this point, Smith paused.

From the expression on his face, Andrew also understood that the situation must be far more serious than he expected.

Otherwise, Smith, a veteran captain who has been at sea for decades, would not have had such an expression.

Soon, Mercado returned.

The expression was very ugly, his face was pale, and he was a little trembling even when he walked.

"Murdoch, how's it going?" Smith asked calmly.

"It was terrible, the front compartment, the three cargo compartments, and boiler room No. 6 were all flooded. In total, there are five places where water has entered. Murdoch replied with a dead face.
