610. Goodbye, Titanic (5/5)

I got the title of the previous chapter wrong, sorry, I didn't realize it was wrong until after I posted it. In fact, that chapter has nothing to do with marriage, embarrassing! ****

The Titanic was rotten, and icicle-shaped rust spread like a plague all over the shipwreck's bow railing and anchor.

Previously, a wreck salvage company used acoustic imaging, sonar and 3D camera technology to study the current situation of the ship, and determined that the ship may continue to collapse inland in the next five to ten years.

Qin Shiou felt that this was not alarmist, he quietly observed around this spectacular shipwreck, since the last time he came, this shipwreck has changed again.

The last time he came to take the portrait, the foremast of the "Titanic" only fell backwards a little, and now it has completely collapsed and leaned on the bridge.

The most common thing on the shipwreck is icicle-shaped rust, and the hull of the ship is said to be made of 2,000 steel plates, each 30 feet long, 6 feet wide and 1 inch thick, and a total of 3 million rivets were used to connect them.

But now you can't see these things, all you can see is the thick rust piling up in layers, giving the ship a dilapidated and decadent feeling.

In addition, in addition to seawater, there are also various microorganisms that invade the wreck, and they form their own communities around the wreck, and the damage to the wreck is no less than that of the seawater.

The undercurrent on the bottom of the sea is another murderer who destroys the shipwreck, Qin Shiou has read the information, since the discovery of the shipwreck, the shipwreck has moved more than 400 meters in the past 20 years, and it is pushed by the undercurrent at a moving speed of 20 meters per year.

Qin Shiou gave the gun squid an order from the beginning to disassemble the Titanic from the perimeter, rather than let the most famous shipwreck in history be destroyed by sea water and microorganisms. It is better to destroy it in your own hands.

This is the destiny of all things, to be made by the Creator. Destroyed by the Creator.

It was humans who built the Titanic, and eventually destroyed it. Or human.

The reason why I chose to come around the wreck today, in addition to Qin Shiou's leisurely, another reason is that the mast lookout of the wreck has been broken, and it is about to fall into the sea and be washed away.

It was a historic scene for the shipwreck, and it was from this lookout more than a hundred years ago that lookout Frederick Fleet saw the most famous iceberg in history.

The fall of the watchtower caused the surrounding sea to tremble, and Qin Shiou looked at the big ship quietly. I silently thought in my heart: Goodbye, Titanic.

In this way, a large hole of four or five square meters appeared in the hull of the ship, and under the watchtower was the storage room, Qin Shiou commanded the gun squid to enter the shipwreck along the big hole, looking for useful things inside.

The Titanic's storage room was stockpiled 34,000 kilograms of fresh pork, 5,000 kilograms of fresh fish, 11,000 kilograms of poultry meat, 40,000 eggs, 4,500 kilograms of sugar, 40 tons of potatoes, 1 ton of coffee, 1,500 bottles of wine and 20,000 bottles of beer.

There is no doubt that these things are now ruined, what Qin Shiou wants to find is porcelain, and at that time there were 12,000 plates, 8,000 forks, 3,000 teacups and 8,000 wine glasses on the ship's tableware alone.

As a result, the porcelain is not tightly wrapped, after all, this thing is not afraid of water. At that time, no one thought that the ship would sink to the bottom of the sea, and no one would have thought that a hundred years later someone would come to salvage the shipwreck, so these porcelains were in direct contact with the seawater, and they were already crawling with microorganisms. It's worthless.

In the corner of the pantry there was a large pile of oak barrels, which were piled up together so that the ship sank. They were so tightly stuffed that they didn't fall apart, though they were somewhat skewed. But nothing was done.

Qin Shiou checked it, and the barrel should be full of beer or wine. But no matter what kind of wine it is, if you stay in the sea for a hundred years, it will definitely be finished, which makes him a little disappointed.

Not all wine is more precious the longer it is stored, Qin Shiou is a person who plans to make wine, he has a little research on this kind of wine, and knows that wine generally does not last long.

In the eyes of master wine connoisseurs, wines go through the stages of growth, maturation and aging, they have no expiration date, they have a drinking period, and it is best to drink them within this period. You can drink it later, but the taste will deteriorate.

Wine is drunk for taste and health, and if it doesn't taste good and is not good for the body, no one will drink it again.

According to Qin Shiou, the drinking period of general wine is 5 to 10 years, and the best wine needs to be stored for 8 to 10 years to have the charm of ripeness, so the storage time is longer.

However, there are also a very small number of particularly excellent wines, which can be stored for decades or even hundreds of years when stored properly, but this kind of wine is rare, Qin Shiou checked the information at the time, and the century-old cellar wine that appeared in these years was about ten years ago when Prince William of England was married.

The Poseidon consciousness rolled these barrels, and the oak barrels were immediately reduced to pieces as soon as they were impacted, and after a hundred years of invasion, although the barrels remained intact, they were actually decayed.

The barrels were broken, and the liquid mixed with the seawater was really varied, and some of them were black, and I don't know what they were made from.

Sweeping away these oak barrels, Qin Shiou was about to leave, but suddenly found that there were still a few small barrels in the innermost part of the barrel.

There are only four of these kegs, and they are only about 30 centimeters tall, and they look short and chubby. They are different from the surrounding vats, and they have a layer of lacquer on the outside, two bright yellow gold lacquers and two snow-white silver lacquers, which are quite precious at a glance.

Qin Shiou looked over and felt that the four small wine barrels should be unusual, and the words Chateau-Petrus were written on the hollow on the barrels, and there were no other signs.

They found four spear squid, they rolled up four small barrels and floated out, found a flat place on the bottom of the sea and put them down, and there were some small boxes and cabinets and other things here, all of which were probably precious things that the spear squid had collected some time ago.

Leaving the storage compartment, Qin Shiou went to the first-class cabin, which was once decorated with fine wood paneling, high-end furniture, and various other high-end decorations, but after a hundred years of sea erosion, the first-class cabin became dilapidated.

There are some gold and silver jewelry that haven't rusted yet, but they are also mottled because microorganisms can attach to them.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it still has meat, Qin Shiou found a group of squid to come in, and took off these gold and silver ornaments to collect outside.

This was probably the last time he came to the Titanic, so Qin Shiou deliberately went to the location of the first-class staircase to take a look.

The most luxurious part of the ship at this time, between the first and second chimneys, once with its oak-paneled and gilded balustrades, extends to the E deck, topped by a glass dome supported by wrought-iron brackets, which can be sprinkled by light day and night.

Even now, Qin Shiou can still feel its majesty, and then after feeling it, he continues to search for the gold and silver ornaments on the grand staircase, and if he finds it, he will let the spear squid take it out...... (To be continued......)
