Chapter 798: Titan Crushes Ice
silent
At this moment, everyone in front of the TV was silent.
Although before the live broadcast, many people already knew all the circumstances of the sinking of the Titanic in advance by consulting the information, and even they were able to recite all the processes that went through within two hours of the sinking of the Titanic.
But when they really saw with their own eyes, the entire Titanic was cocked like a seesaw, the bow was deeply plunged into the water, and the stern was cocked into the air, everyone sank.
"The next thing should be the Titanic breaking from it!" Many viewers who are familiar with the sinking process of the Titanic can't help but mumble to themselves.
Historically, the process of sinking the Titanic was very terrifying, because the bow sank into the water, and the stern was warped into the air, which caused the middle part of the ship to be subjected to huge stress.
And the Titanic obviously cannot be a whole, he is formed by many pieces of steel welded together.
The welding technology of 100 years ago is conceivable, and it is far less robust than modern welding technology.
Under normal circumstances, it is fine to sail at sea, but once the stern is warped into the air and the central part of the ship is subjected to tens of thousands of tons of stress, the strength of those welded parts is obviously unable to support the integrity of the Titanic.
So the entire Titanic broke with a click in the middle, the bow sank directly into the water, and the stern part struggled on the surface of the sea for three minutes, and then followed and sank to the bottom of the sea.
The Titanic, an unprecedented giant ship, completely withered to the bottom of the sea.
So the question is, will this Titanic be like the Titanic back then, unable to withstand huge stress, and will break in the middle?
In fact, even Jia Yapeng and Cameron, the two bigwigs, are not clear about this, although Boss Jia asked the Titanic to use the simplest welding method when welding, and never engage in any advanced and firm welding methods such as argon arc welding.
But even the most ordinary weld strength in modern times far exceeds the level of 100 years ago, and who knows if the new Titanic will break from it?
But no matter whether it will break or not, the result must be broken, otherwise the entire live broadcast will completely collapse.
Therefore, Boss Jia also ordered people to install special blasting explosives in the middle part, once the new ship is extremely strong and cannot break from the middle, then Boss Jia can only use explosives again.
Fortunately, this is an explosive specially developed for blasting, and there will not be too obvious fire, especially with the chaotic scene when the Titanic sank, as well as the continuous explosions in the eight boiler rooms.
However, it turns out that Boss Jia is a little too much, ordinary welding methods can not withstand the stress of up to tens of thousands of tons, after the tail of the new Titanic is raised high, the scene can continue to hear bursts of steel being twisted and the wail.
Eventually, the twisted steel reached its limit, and in a series of explosions from the boiler room, the No. 2 and No. 3 chimneys were blown apart, and the remaining two chimneys were broken.
Under the attention of more than a billion viewers, the Titanic broke in the air, as if a giant god grabbed both ends of the Titanic, and then gently used force on both sides to directly break the Titanic into two halves as if it were Wangwang crushing ice.
After the Titanic broke off, the bow completely lost its support and began to sink to the bottom of the sea at a speed of 40 miles per hour, and the stern of the ship lasted on the surface of the sea for about 5 minutes before finally sinking slowly to the bottom of the sea.
From 2:02 a.m. to 4:26 p.m., after two hours and 20 minutes of struggle, the Titanic finally disappeared from the sea completely, and the newborn cruise ship, finally chasing the life of its ancestors, also sank to the bottom of the sea.
It's just that unlike the ancestors, no one wanted him to sink the Titanic back then, and now this Titanic, 1.5 billion people watched him sink, which is a carnival for all mankind.
The Titanic sank, but the live broadcast did not end, at this time Fox TV turned the camera lens to the camera lens inside the ship, although the lens was all turbid seawater, but these cameras still faithfully recorded the situation inside the Titanic.
"52 in-house cameras, 36 more working!" This is the prompt that appears in the upper left corner of the live broadcast screen of Fox TV, and then the camera rotates every 10 seconds, constantly showing the footage taken by the 36 working cameras, but at this time, there is no longer any sound of the host commenting, and the picture is silent, showing the condition of the Titanic that has been lying on the bottom of the sea.
But the seabed is clearly not the normal working environment for a single camera, and after just 20 minutes, only 24 of the 36 cameras remained.
An hour later, that number was 16, and two hours later, there were 12 left, but there were fewer than 100 million people still watching the live broadcast.
Everyone is very busy, no one will be bored to watch these murky waters, and Fox TV soon resumed normal TV broadcasting, but Fox TV has specially made a special channel, as long as everyone turns on the special channel, you can still see the live broadcast of the camera.
So, at 8 o'clock in the morning on the second day, some viewers opened the special channel to see if the live broadcast had ended, but they were surprised to find that the live broadcast was still continuing.
"52 internal cameras, and one more is working!"
"What! It's been more than 10 hours, and there are still cameras working! "The audience was shocked, and it was still Sunday, so while most of the audience chose to watch other interesting TV shows, they couldn't help but tune back to the live channel every ten minutes to see if the last camera was still working.
What no one expected was that that night, after dark, the camera was still working, and although he only shot the muddy water, he was still working.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Suddenly, Fox TV was surprised to find that the number of simultaneous viewers had dropped to more than 10 million live channels, and the number of people suddenly began to grow again, and by 8 o'clock that night, more than 300 million people had recovered from simultaneous viewing, and these people were watching a camera that was doomed to death and could only play turbid waters.
"Come on! You have to hold on! ”
"No. 21, come on!"
"We're all number 21!!"
Because the number of this camera is 21, many people began to chant for 21 to come on, and they hoped that the 21st camera would continue to persevere...... Although the audience didn't know what the point of sticking with it was, after all, this camera could only show the murky waters.
But they persevered, hoping that camera 21 would continue to hold on.
And the No. 21 camera seems to respond to the audience's insistence, and this camera magically persists for 24 hours...... 48 hours ...... 72 hours ...... It wasn't until 182 hours later that the camera suddenly went off and the live broadcast ended.
But this camera has become a legend and history, and has become a legend remembered by all people around the world, and Boss Jia sent divers to salvage the camera as soon as the No. 21 camera stopped working and put it in the display cabinet of Daqian Group.
A few years later, Daqian Group took out this camera for a charity auction, and no one expected that the No. 21 camera would actually cost $1.2 billion, which can be called the most expensive camera in history.
