Chapter 23: Playing the harp to the cow

Rose couldn't help but be nervous.

Legend has it that before a disaster, there is always some premonition.

The fiancé's nightmare may be God's warning to him.

There are not enough lifeboats, and the encounter with the iceberg is consistent with the nightmare of the fiancé, is the Titanic really going to hit the iceberg and then sink?

Zeng Yingjian patted her hand again and gave her a reassuring look.

Captain Smith had already explained with a smile:

"Don't worry, icebergs are very common in this season! In fact, we are accelerating, and the last four boilers are also ignited! ”

His words made Zeng Yingjian can't help but shake his head, it's really "If you don't die, you won't die"!

There are always some inexplicable things in history that, according to normal logic, could not have happened at all, but they happened again and again.

The Battle of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms, the Battle of Weishui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the difficulty of Jingkang that made the Northern Song Dynasty perish, etc., are all because of some unbelievable decisions of decision-makers, which have caused accidental changes in history.

The sinking of the Titanic was the same.

Known as the "unsinkable ship" and "God can't let it sink when God comes", although it has some small flaws, it is really the largest, most luxurious, and safest and most reliable cruise ship at that time.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to sink.

However, the advertising slogan is quite right, "impossible is nothing", and nothing in this world is impossible.

"Good swimmers drown, good riders fall", carelessly, the safest and most reliable cruise ship sank in its maiden voyage.

Knowing that there is an iceberg ahead, and still moving forward at full speed, isn't this seeking death by yourself?

If you don't die, God can't look past it!

"Mr. Captain, since there are icebergs, let's slow down! Actually, I don't think it's necessary to be so fast, I'd like to stay on the boat with Rose for a few more days! Zeng Yingjian interjected and said with a smile.

"Haha! That's because you've got a beautiful woman, Mr. Hockley! I think it's better to get to New York early, I'm starting to miss my family! Rest assured, Captain Smith has been at sea for decades, and he can sail the ship to the United States with his eyes closed. ”

Zeng Yingjian didn't invite that Isme, but he still came, and at this time he said ridiculous words, but instead of the captain, he refuted Zeng Yingjian's proposal.

Zeng Yingjian, who has watched the movie "Titanic", of course knows that Captain Smith was bewitched by Ismae, so he insisted on moving forward at full speed regardless of the danger.

Zeng Yingjian really couldn't refute Ismay's words, as he said, during the journey, most of the passengers wanted to arrive at their destination early.

He couldn't directly explain the careful thinking of Isme and the captain, so he changed the topic and asked:

"Mr. Captain, I'm curious, do the crew just rely on the naked eye to spot icebergs?"

Rose also looked at Captain Smith curiously.

Smith smiled and shook his head:

"No, no, no, they have binoculars. From afar, we can spot icebergs and hide from them. So, Mr. Hockley, please rest assured, I guarantee with my credibility that you are absolutely safe on the Titanic! ”

"But I didn't see any telescopes." Zeng Yingjian continued to remind.

"It's been a good couple of days, you can see far without a telescope, they should have put the telescope away, so you didn't see it."

As the saying goes, "the county official is not as good as the current management", although Carl is the son of a steel tycoon, and the wealth of the family is more than that of Ismay, but the Titanic is owned by the White Star Company, and Ismay is the chairman of the White Star Company, and he happens to be Captain Smith's boss.

As a result, Captain Smith has enough respect for Carl that he doesn't listen to him, especially when his words are clearly contrary to his boss's intentions.

Although he also knew that it was a bit risky to go full throttle, the words of his boss, coupled with his own vanity, and a little bit of luck, made him completely ignore Zeng Yingjian's words.

The phrase "You can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep", and Captain Smith is the one who is pretending to be asleep.

Zeng Yingjian is obviously "playing the piano to the cow", and it is useless to say anything!

"Mr. Captain......" Rose listened anxiously on the side, and tried to help, but Zeng Yingjian gently patted the back of her hand and interrupted her:

"Alright! Mr. Captain is a professional, it seems that I am overthinking! ”

After speaking, he led Rose, whose eyes were full of worries and questions, out of the cockpit.

"Carl, is it really going to happen?"

When she came to the deck, some distance away from everyone, Rose couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"They certainly don't have binoculars! If you encounter an iceberg at night, when the lookout finds it, with such a fast speed and such a large ship, I am afraid it will be too late to turn and dodge! ”

"Huh? What to do? Why don't we go back and persuade Mr. Captain! ”

Rose became anxious when she heard this, and pulled her fiancé and prepared to go back.

"It's useless! Do you think he doesn't know? He won't listen! He just wanted to get to New York early and make the headlines! He couldn't refuse this kind of vanity! ”

"But...... So many people, and the lifeboats are not enough, if ...... What to do? Karl, you have to think of a way! ”

Kind-hearted Rose thought that in the event of a disaster, so many people on the boat would not be able to get on the lifeboat, and she was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

"Don't worry! I dreamed that I would only encounter an iceberg tomorrow night......"

"But what if your dreams aren't accurate?"

This time, Zeng Yingjian's words failed to reassure Rose.

It's just a dream, and it's okay to say it's a sign of disaster, so how can you take it completely seriously?

If you can get the details right, it's not a dream, it's a prophecy.

Obviously, Rose doesn't believe much that her fiancé has the ability to "see the future".

Zeng Yingjian scratched his head a little, what could he say?

Tell Rose that all this is the plot of the movie, and he is crossing, and when will the big ship hit the iceberg, clearly?

Rose was afraid to take him for a psychopath.

And he couldn't have told anyone the secret.

Therefore, he had to lead her to a place where there was no one, and whispered in her ear:

"I'm going to tell you a little secret!"

Looking at her fiancé's mysterious appearance, Rose, who was full of anticipation, thought that she would hear some good ideas, but when she heard such a sentence, disappointment appeared in her eyes, and she even pursed her mouth slightly to protest her fiancé's change of topic.

Zeng Yingjian didn't seem to notice her displeasure, and looked around before he said:

"There is no light at night, and I can see far away as I can during the day......"

"Oh-huh? Are you sure? Rose listened a little perfunctorily, but suddenly reacted, looked up at her fiancé in surprise, and asked:

"You mean ......?"

She is smart, and she has already heard the meaning of her fiancé's words.

"Not bad! Just what you think! Zeng Yingjian looked at her and smiled faintly, enjoying this kind of heart-to-heart fun.
