Chapter 119: A Disaster

James Cameron, a man who has created countless legends and records.

This name is also an abbreviation, and his full name is James Francis Cameron.

He was born in Kapuskasing, Ontario, Canada, to his father, Philip Cameron, an electronics engineer, and his mother, Shirley Cameron, an artist.

In 1971, the family moved to the southern California city of Berry.

James Cameron studied physics at a two-year community college in California, but soon changed his mind and majored in English. Just before the start of school, I chose to take a leave of absence.

Since then, he has been sitting in the library and driving a truck, often looking for materials in the library of the University of California to study film special effects techniques on his own.

At that time, I used to drive a truck to make a living, and whenever I had free time, I wrote the script while conceiving it. Cameron began his career as a screenwriter and later turned to film art directing and special effects processing, such as in 1980, when he got his first full-fledged job in the film industry as art director for Roger Cove's "Fight for the Century", making special effects models.

Until 1981, when he began his career as a director, he also worked as a producer on the film Roger Corman.

Cameron's breakthrough in cinema began with his special effects team, which was first applied to "The Terminator", which looks a little outdated now, but at the time, it was actually quite advanced. The film cost only $6.5 million to shoot, but it achieved a box office of $36 million in the United States and $78 million worldwide.

Just two years ago, in 1986, James Cameron's second work "Alien 2" came out.

This film is a sequel to director Ridley Scott's sci-fi film "Alien", yes, the second part of Alien was not shot by the original director.

James Cameron's film avoids repeating the style of the original film, but instead moves the battlefield of people and aliens from a single spaceship to a space base, reinterpreting the horror story that takes place in space in the style of an action movie.

As recently as 1987, "Alien 2" was nominated for seven Academy Awards, and eventually won two awards for Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects, and even James Cameron won the Best Director Award at the 14th Saturn Awards for this film.

Therefore, Cameron is now famous, and in the entire film industry, it can be regarded as a small fame, and he is not surprised that Li Fangcheng can recognize him.

In the past two years, it has not been once or twice that such a recognized thing has happened.

After winning the Oscar, he is no longer the unknown young player he used to be, and it can be said that every director who returns from the Oscar will directly become a big director.

After a brief introduction, the two also greeted politely, James knew that Li Fangcheng had his own company, and after making a game, he was also excited after congratulating two sentences.

In the past few years in the United States, he has seen the collapse of the game industry, how can he not know the loneliness of the game, and the world will also develop the Japanese game industry better, as for Huaxia, to be honest, he really can't look down on it.

"Mr. Cameron, I deeply regret the accident of the Explorer, I wonder if you can point me to the miracle star?" Li Fangcheng took the opportunity to lead the topic here.

The bait, has been dropped!Fish, will it take the bait?

"Miracle Star?" Cameron's angle is not to see Li Fangcheng's operating table, just chatting, although it is strange about Li Fangcheng's equipment, but there is no nature to ask, the failure of the explorer made him also depressed, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to other things.

"Yes, a deep-sea camera, my goal today is to go to the Titanic, but unfortunately, I am not very good at operating this thing, and it will take me a lot of time to figure it out myself. Li Fangcheng seemed to be a little embarrassed to say.

"What are you talking about? Are you here for the Titanic?" Cameron's face sank a little, the Titanic, this word has been popular for a while in the past two years, causing many unscrupulous businessmen to worry about it all day long, and when they heard that Li Fangcheng was here for this purpose, they subconsciously felt a burst of disgust.

"I think, you have misunderstood, I'm not here to salvage the sunken ship to make money or anything, I'm here to pay tribute!" Li Fangcheng couldn't see what Cameron was thinking, and immediately said with a serious face.

Titanic, replaced by a familiar name, is Titanic. From the night of April 14 to the early morning of April 15, 1912, the top luxury giant ship Titanic had a serious shipwreck because it hit an iceberg during its first voyage. This incident directly caused the death of more than 1,500 people! It has become one of the largest maritime accidents in human history.

At that time, the ship was built to the highest standards of the time, and it was not only the best in shipbuilding technology, but also the exquisite interior design and luxurious decoration showed the top level of an era.

From gymnasiums to swimming pools to libraries and fine dining restaurants, all of them are built to the standards of a five-star hotel. However, all these names failed to prevent this giant ship, known as the "unsinkable ship", from being wiped out on its first voyage.

At that time, in order to take this so-called unsinkable ship, the top luxury ship, and even many of the richest people in the region, the richest man in the country and even the world's richest people have come to visit, because of this, it attracted many mothers who hope to catch the golden beetle son-in-law and bring their daughters on board.

According to the regulations of the administrators at that time, the list of passengers would be announced before the voyage, which made many people who hoped to climb the high branches even overjoyed, and even smashed the pot and sold iron for a place so that their children could board this giant ship!

However, this greedy and insufficiently unsuccessful move often does not think that it directly kills one life after another. There are also many people who want to go to the Americas from Europe to develop, bringing all their net worth, and they are also flocking here.

Such a major catastrophe is undoubtedly a tragedy of shattered dreams for both rich and poor.

Countless people perished at the bottom of the sea with all their treasures. Therefore, since the shipwreck for decades, the wealth left behind at the bottom of the sea has been the object of coveted by countless treasure hunters

It wasn't until 1985 that the wreckage was actually found.

At this time, it has been exactly 73 years since the day of the accident!

The first person to find the wreckage of the Titanic was named Robert Ballard.

This time the search was not a windfall, Ballard had even searched for it in 1977, but unfortunately failed due to lack of technology and preparation.

And in 85 years, Ballard's success was also due to the support of the United States military. Since Ballard had been working for the Navy for a long time before that, he was given a new underwater search system. With the proficiency and permission of the US military, this equipment was used to carry out deep-sea exploration.

At the heart of the device is the sonar system, a deep-sea vessel equipped with a sonar system that can take pictures while being remotely controlled, and a small robot on board that can move around the seabed and take samples. This new technology is undoubtedly much more advanced than a pure sonar system, because the sonar system can only distinguish shapes, while the photographic system can distinguish not only the wreckage but also the life of the seabed.

With technology and equipment, the rest of the problem is simple, although the main body of the Titanic is very large, but after many repeated arguments, on September 1, 1985, Ballard finally found some fragments of the Titanic's boiler, so as to quickly locate the main position of the ship, and finally, the location of the Titanic was finally known to the world.

After discovering the wreckage of the main body of the Titanic, Ballard went back and forth several times, including some scientists to conduct scientific expeditions.

Ballard discovered a peculiar phenomenon of rust on the wreck of the Titanic.

The rust on the hull of a ship is eroded by microorganisms in the deep sea for a long time, and it forms the shape of an ice edge, and when the hull is touched in this way, it disperses like a cloud of mist.

So the entire Titanic got the wreckage, and there was no way to salvage it at all!

If the seabed below 10,000 meters is easily salvaged, it will inevitably be unfound.

Although this has brought inconvenience to the scientific postgraduate examination, it has also indirectly protected those who have won the treasure.

Although there are occasional gold diggers who do not give up to explore, but after a year of no success, these people will slowly disappear.

Why don't the people who come to pan for gold come under the name of some company?

After Li Fangcheng's explanation, he reluctantly let Cameron not turn around and leave, but what he didn't know was that if it weren't for that reminder, Cameron wouldn't have paid attention to him at this moment!

With a little impatience, Cameron walked to Li Fangcheng's position, looked at Li Fangcheng's console, and wanted to deal with it sloppily, but the nine extremely clear and well-made control panels made him stunned all of a sudden!

What kind of vision is Cameron?

How could a person who grew up in a family of electronic engineers not recognize the technical content of Li Fangcheng's set of equipment?

Even if there is no actual survey, but every design reveals the top industrial level, this alone is enough to make him feel the gap!

The Explorer also has a simple operation console, and if there is no comparison, Cameron is even very satisfied with the Explorer, and at this moment, he instantly made a big cross in his heart!

"Is this the Miracle Star?" said Cameron in disbelief, looking at the screen in front of him.
