Chapter 9: The Reincarnation of Fate, History Repeats Itself (Part II).
"It's over, it's all over. The ship is sinking. Hearing Murdoch's answer, Andrew sat down directly.
At this time, another man rushed in and whispered to Smith with a gloomy face: "Damn, what happened, why did the boat stop?".
He is the director of the White Star Shipping Company - Ishmay, and the Titanic is the masterpiece of the White Star Shipping Company.
This time, he followed the Titanic's maiden voyage to witness this great voyage, and at the same time to announce the strong strength of White Star Shipping Company to his peers in the world.
However, the sudden accident gave Ishme a very bad premonition.
"We're sinking, Ishmay, we're all going to die in the icy Atlantic. Andrew became a little hysterical.
"No, it can't be. This ship won't sink, it won't!" said Izmay, too, with a hideous face.
This is the masterpiece of the White Star Line, the unsinkable Titanic.
How could it have sunk?
It's only been on the boat for less than five days
However, Izmay also knew that Andrew was the designer of the Titanic, and it was impossible to scare him with such a thing.
But what should we do?
The Titanic sank on its maiden voyage, and he could imagine how serious the consequences would be.
Let's not talk about whether he can return to land alive.
Even if he is lucky enough to make it back alive, then it will be an even worse ending for him.
First of all, the board of directors of the company will definitely kick him out of the company in order to give an explanation to all the victims.
At the same time, he will face astronomical compensation for the accident.
He's finished, and the White Star Shipping Company, founded by the Ismail family, is also finished, and everything is finished.
"He's made of steel, and he'll sink!" Andrew laughed at himself weakly.
"Is there a remedy?" Smith forced his composure.
The
sinking of the cruise ship was also a consequence that Smith could not bear.
As a veteran captain who had sailed for decades, he could have enjoyed his old age in peace and retired with an honor.
However, he really liked a steel giant ship like the Titanic, so at the invitation of the White Star Shipping Company, Smith happily agreed to serve as the captain of the Titanic's maiden voyage.
If the Titanic really sank, Smith knew that the honor he had accumulated over decades in his previous life would be lost with its sinking.
Even because of his negligence, the accident of the Titanic will be written into the captain's training textbook and will be passed down as a negative textbook for all eternity.
Andrew stood up weakly, then spread the drawings out on the table.
He pointed to the location of several watertight chambers and said, "It's useless. If it had only been flooded in all directions, the ship might have been saved. Now there are five floods, and the ship is not saved. "
"Huh...... Smith, do you know what will happen in the end?" Andrew laughed a little sickly.
As an old ship, how could Smith not understand what the consequences of a large amount of water in the bow of the ship would be for an ordinary giant ship?
It's just that he has no interest in explaining it now.
Andrew said to himself: "Soon, the ship will be unbalanced by a large amount of water entering the bow." The bow will sink, then the sea will continue to flood more bow sections, the stern will be cocked, and finally ......
"."Is it feasible to pump water?" Smith suddenly asked before Andrew, who had fallen into a pathological state, could continue.
"It's useless, the crack is too big, and the speed at which the pump pumps water is far less than the speed of the sea influx. At this time, the deputy captain also interjected with a sad expression, "It can only be delayed for a few minutes at most." "
"How much time do we have?" Smith finally asked the question he was most willing to ask.
"Two hours at most, no more. Andrew was finally willing to face the harsh reality and calmed down.
"Then, my vice-captain, do as much as you can, and hold on for as long as you can. Smith sighed and turned to command.
The vice-captain nodded with a serious expression and turned to go out.
"How many passengers are on board, I mean all?" Smith continued to ask the rest of the humans.
"Two thousand two hundred, plus the boilermen in the bilge, are a little more. Andrew said weakly, clutching at what little hair he had left.
"Huh...... This time it's really big, and it's sure to make a sensation in the world, haha......" Izme's heart was so sad that he laughed more ugly than he cried.
The boat capsized in the gutter, and Smith's mood was not much better.
Fortunately, he is still a responsible captain, and at the moment he is still thinking about how to save more people before the Titanic sinks.
"So do you want to make the situation public?" asked Smith.
"No, absolutely not. It would be an even greater disaster to announce it now. Izmay suddenly jumped up and shouted.
"Is there a better way?" Andrew jumped to his feet, "don't forget, we have less than two hours." "
"FUCK!" Izmay couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
Seeing this, Smith had to turn around and order Murdoch, who was waiting behind him: "Go, arrange for all the passengers to prepare to abandon the ship." Try to be gentle and don't cause panic. "
"Yes, I know how. Murdoch replied solemnly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I should have done better." "
In the end, Murdoch burst into tears.
"No, you've done a good job, Murdoch, you're a qualified second mate. Smith patted Murdoch on the shoulder comfortingly.
"It's not enough, once the news gets out, the order will definitely be chaotic. Moreover, there would have been insufficient of our lifeboats. Andrew laughed.
As he spoke, he glared at Ishme with great resentment.
If it weren't for the greed of the White Star Shipping Company, which halved the number of lifeboats originally designed, perhaps most of the passengers on board would still have a chance to escape.
Izmay is also regretting it at this time.
If he hadn't been so greedy at the beginning, the consequences of this sinking might not have been so serious, and he would still have a chance to turn over.
"Well, gentlemen, it's useless to say too much about it now. Smith instantly stood up as if he had aged ten years.
Then he said to Murdoch: "Go, do your best to maintain order, and if that fails, I grant you the right to use the necessary means." "
Murdoch was shocked, then nodded silently and retreated silently.
The catastrophe of the Titanic will not be obvious for a while.
There were also unwitting bored people in the first class who ran to the deck to watch the excitement.
Looking at the spectacular iceberg in front of them, they were even a little excited.
There are even better people who are giggling and playing with the pieces of the deck, and there is no sense of crisis at all.
In contrast to the comfort of the first class cabin on the upper deck, it was the sailors and boilermen in the bilge who were the first to feel the disaster.
Then there are the third-class passengers on the lower deck.
The sea poured in, and even the rats that had been hiding under the boat in the past also felt the danger of the coming disaster, and they rushed out one after another, fleeing to higher ground.
Of course, the first class cabin isn't full of heartless idiots.
It was still the organic spirit who had a premonition of danger.
They ran to the side of the boat and buried their heads down to check the situation.
So what caught their eyes was a scene of impending disaster.
The churning sea is pouring into the cabin along the broken part of the ship's hull.
As the Titanic slowly reversed, it was finally separated from the iceberg at this moment.
They saw the scene of the influx of the sea more clearly.
"Oh shit, we're in big trouble. Someone exclaimed.
On the other hand, Rose also felt that the atmosphere was unusual.
She was worried about Jack's affairs and never rested.
Hearing the noise outside, Rose finally couldn't help but run out of the room.
Come to the deck.
The first thing Rose saw on the deck was Bruce, who didn't know what to think about standing there.
Rose hurriedly ran over and said worriedly, "Bruce, is something going on?"
Bruce is pulled back to reality by Rose's words.
Glancing at the delicate and graceful Rose, he immediately pulled Rose over and whispered a reminder in her ear.
"Rose, the ship is sinking, get ready to run for your life. Bruce said with a serious expression.
"What?" Rose was taken aback and looked at Bruce in disbelief.
Bruce nodded solemnly and said no more.
"Well, I'm going to go and tell Mother and Carl the news. Rose instinctively chose to take Bruce's word for it.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and turned to leave.
Before leaving, she seemed to remember something important, ran back and took Bruce's hand and said, "Bruce, do you know where Carl kept Jack?"
Looking at her eagerness, Bruce didn't know how to express his inner feelings.
I have to admit that this noble and beautiful woman is indeed a kind lady.
Even if he didn't feel for Carl in his heart, he still wanted to convey the news of the shipwreck to him at the first time.
In the end, she did not forget the safety of her sweetheart.
From start to finish, she didn't put her own safety first.
"He should have been locked up in the utility room by the chief picket. Bruce said.
As for which floor it was, he couldn't be sure.
After all, it is not detailed in the movie.
"Thank you, Jack!" Rose gave Rose a final grateful glance and Bruce left again with his sumptuous dress.
