December 18th, 1994. On this day, high up in the universe, a spy satellite of the United States flew over Hua Xia according to a set orbit, and then crazily took all kinds of photos of the ground, and sent them to the relevant departments of the United States.
Then these photos were sent to the hands of various intelligence personnel. These intelligence personnel were responsible for screening the various buildings, people, geographical locations of the mountains and rivers in the photos, and so on, so as to determine if there was any important information.
As a result, on this day, when the latest photos were sent to the hands of an intelligence personnel, this intelligence personnel took a look, and then his entire person was dumbfounded. He immediately dialed his superior's phone and said, "Mr. Johnny, Hua Xia's people built a big guy on the sea!"
"What big guy!" Mr. Johnny was shocked. Could it be that Hua Xia's people also started to build an aircraft carrier? How come I've never heard of this kind of information before? When did Hua Xia's technology and confidentiality work become so good? This is important information that needs to be reported to the President!
"No … It's not an aircraft carrier, it's the Titanic!" The intelligence personnel swallowed his saliva and said.
"What? What did you say? "
"I said, Hua Xia's people built a Titanic, and it's parked on the dock of their Jiangnan Shipyard!" The intelligence personnel lowered his head and said.
"My God, Hua Xia's people have nothing better to do. Why did they build a Titanic?" Mr. Johnny was completely shocked. After hesitating for a while, he decided to send this information to his superiors.
Not long after, Mr. Johnny received a reply saying that there was no problem, because this was the United States' film company that commissioned Hua Xia's people to build the Titanic, and this was only a prop used for filming!
On the other side, our Boss Jia didn't know that his ship was almost treated as an aircraft carrier, but at this moment, Boss Jia was on the dock of the Jiangnan Shipyard. Together with Boss Jia was the director of the Jiangnan Shipyard, as well as the producer of the Titanic, Jon Landau, and the director of the Titanic movie, Mr. James Cameron.
"My God, I never thought that I would be able to see this ship again. With this big ship, I don't need the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea! "After visiting the entire Titanic, James Cameron couldn't help but sigh.
Well, later, when he participated in a television interview, James Cameron confessed that his motive for filming the Titanic was to raise enough funds to salvage the sunken Titanic from the bottom of the sea and let the once-huge ship see the light of day again.
However, the salvage plan was unrealistic. Cameron took a submarine and personally visited the wreckage of the Titanic at the bottom of the sea. Then, he visited it for about a week.
Well, in Cameron's words, he needed to see the sinking of the Titanic with his own eyes. Only then could he accurately depict the scene of the sinking of the Titanic.
In addition, some details of the cabin of the Titanic also needed to be figured out after a field visit. Anyway, with these high-sounding reasons, the crew had to spend about 10 million dollars to visit the ship that had sunk for more than 80 years.
When he saw the rebuilt ship with his own eyes, James Cameron naturally couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, he also sighed to Boss Jia beside him, "Mr. Jia, your Hua Xia people are really amazing. It only took 11 months to replicate the most legendary ship in history. I asked those domestic shipyards, and they told me that it would take at least 3-4 years. These bastards, have they forgotten the industrial spirit of the United States? "
Yes, from the beginning of the construction to the completion of the construction, a total of only 11 months.
But in just 11 months, a giant cruise ship that was exactly the same as the Titanic in history appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Including the paint of the hull, the four huge black and white chimneys, every flagpole, the position of every lifeboat, and even the position of every lifeboat, they were exactly the same as recorded in historical records. It was as if the Titanic had been reborn.
The appearance alone was not enough. Although the replica of the Titanic at this time did not have a steam turbine installed, nor did it have a mechanical cabin in the true sense, so it could not move freely at all.
But the interior of the ship, the passenger cabin, the captain's room, and other cabins were exactly the same. Even the decorations of various gold and silver utensils, as well as the four oil paintings of the four famous captains in history hanging in the captain's room were exactly the same.
Anyway, unless the captain of the Titanic personally boarded the ship to inspect it, it would be difficult to find anything wrong with it.
Such a perfect Titanic was completed in only 11 months. It was no wonder that James Cameron was so amazed and in disbelief.
"Hehe." Seeing the shocked expression of the American, who was said to be a great director, the director of the Jiangnan Shipyard, who accompanied him, could not help but smile proudly. He had won glory for the country!
In fact, the Titanic was built so quickly because of some opportunistic elements. First of all, the ship was not built from scratch, but borrowed the hull of an old ship to transform it.
Although the hull of this old ship was different from the hull of the Titanic, the keel was ready-made, so it only needed to be lengthened and widened, which saved a lot of time.
Another point was the ship's most important power system, waterproof system, electric control system, and so on. These systems did not need to be installed. They only needed to build the passenger cabin and a few simulated boiler rooms. The actual workload was reduced by at least half. Of course, the speed was faster.
Of course, the most important reason was that the Jiangnan Shipyard had a group of very skilled workers, and these workers happened to have no work and were very leisurely. This ship was to be handed over to the United States to show the shipbuilding strength of Hua Xia. The workers were naturally in full swing, and the speed was faster.
In summary, the feat of replicating the Titanic in 11 months was created.
"God, I actually want to sink this ship into the sea again. This is simply a sin!" James Cameron thought of the dream-like Titanic in front of him at this time. When the final outcome was still to sink to the bottom of the sea, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
However, sadness was sadness, this would never shake Cameron's idea of ramming this big ship. Cameron even wanted to sink this ship more than anyone else, because only in this way could he shoot an unprecedented and shocking scene. The scene of a huge ship weighing tens of thousands of tons gradually sinking on the sea. This was an effect that no amount of special effects could achieve. It was likely to be the peak of James Cameron's film career in this life. He would not let go of this opportunity no matter what.
"But the things made by Hua Xia are really great. They are cheap and fast. It seems that it is best to buy props from Hua Xia in the future. It is too cost-effective!" At the same time, James Cameron muttered unconsciously in his heart. The seed of Hua Xia's products being cost-effective and of good quality was quietly planted in the heart of this American.
