Finally, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, the morning light of June 1, 1995 finally shone on this land, and the live broadcast that everyone in the world was looking forward to finally began on this day.
When you turn on the TV, you will find that although the live broadcast started at 10 o 'clock in the morning, all the TV stations around the world that bought the broadcasting rights have already started their live special programs. Starting at 6 o' clock in the morning, these TV stations invited a lot of so-called experts to come over and begin to analyze the specific process of this shipwreck, the steps, the way of sinking, and so on.
Although the analysis of these experts is somewhat irrelevant, there is no doubt that these special programs have successfully aroused the interest of the audience. Everyone began to look at their watches impatiently. Finally, at about 10 o 'clock in the morning, as the clock rang, the pictures of these TV stations changed at the same time, and then a vast ocean appeared.
Then, there was a huge roar of helicopter blades.
"Hello everyone, I am Winleski, a reporter from Fox TV. I have just taken off from the Honolulu Heliport in Hawaii. Behind me is Honolulu, and I am now about to follow the figure of the Titanic!" After the host finished speaking, the camera pointed at the distant sea.
About 5 minutes later, a huge white and black ship finally appeared in the TV camera, this is the legendary Titanic.
At the moment when the Titanic appeared, the staff of Fox TV, who were monitoring the global ratings, exclaimed, "300 million people! Now the number of simultaneous viewers around the world has reached 300 million people, and the cumulative number of viewers has reached 500 million. "
"Oh my God, 300 million people around the world, everyone, we are making history!!" In the studio of Fox TV, the director of the TV station shouted excitedly to all the staff.
While Fox was getting excited, the helicopter that was flying in the air had already caught up with the Titanic. At the same time, the camera began to switch. It was no longer a single shot of the helicopter at the beginning, but a shot of a speedboat sailing around the Titanic.
At this time, the speedboat was very bold, and it was less than 15 meters away from the hull of the Titanic, so that the audience could see the magical picture of this huge ship sailing in the sea at the closest distance.
Then, the camera switched again and began to show the Titanic in all directions, from the sea to the sky, constantly showing the Titanic at this time.
Finally, the scene fell on the deck of the Titanic. The host, Winleski, was already standing on the deck at this time, and beside her was a middle-aged man in a white shirt. If one looked closely, they would find that he actually had an Asian face.
The middle-aged man began to introduce himself. It turned out that he was from Hua Xia. His name was Xia Tong, an engineer at the Jiangnan Shipyard. He was also the chief engineer during the construction of the Titanic. He knew the reborn Titanic very well. He would be responsible for explaining the process and steps of the sinking of the Titanic in the following program.
"This is our plan!" Standing on the Titanic, Xia Tong spoke to the camera in fluent English. "Actually, our Titanic has one shortcoming. It has no power and can't sail on its own. It can only be towed forward by a tugboat."
"But this doesn't affect the whole process. At this time, about 25 nautical miles away from the Titanic, we have prepared an impact object!"
"In history, it was a giant iceberg that caused the sinking of the Titanic. Unfortunately, there are no icebergs like this near Hawaii, so we will use a scrapped submarine to modify it so that its impact surface is exactly the same as the impact surface of the iceberg that hit the Titanic. In this way, we can simulate the specific situation of the Titanic when it was hit!"
"Excuse me, using an abandoned cruise ship to simulate the iceberg, can this really perfectly restore the situation 100 years ago?" The host asked curiously.
"In theory, there is no problem at all! We only need to ensure that the strength of the submarine is the same as the strength of the iceberg. At the same time, we need to ensure that the position of the collision surface is accurate and that the collision occurs at the position where the Titanic was hit by the iceberg. That way, we can basically achieve a simulation of 98%. I can guarantee that everyone will be able to see the scene when the Titanic sank 100 years ago on TV! "
In fact, Chief Engineer Xia Tong was talking nonsense. Even if Boss Jia really found an identical iceberg and hit it in the exact same position, it was impossible to guarantee that the Titanic would sink as it did 100 years ago, let alone replace the iceberg with an abandoned cruise ship.
Because this Titanic did not have a power system, it weighed about 5,000 tons less than the real Titanic. Therefore, it was impossible for the Titanic to sink this week in the same way it did 100 years ago. Xia Tong was simply bullshitting.
However, it didn't matter. Apart from the professionals, no one could detect the problem in Xia Tong's words. Even if the professionals raised doubts, it didn't matter. By that time, the live broadcast would have ended, and the publicity effect would have been achieved. No matter how big the controversy was, it would only be a further promotion for "Titanic".
This was a good thing!
"In addition, we have installed more than 50 cameras on the Titanic!" Xia Tong continued to say to the host. At this time, the live broadcast began to change again. From the camera on the deck, it changed to a camera inside a gorgeous first-class cabin. Through this camera, two staff members in work clothes could be seen nervously packing up some things.
Then the camera changed again, showing the scene inside the restaurant.
At this time, the voice of Chief Engineer Xia Tong could be heard on the screen. "These more than 50 cameras are distributed in almost all the cabins of the Titanic, from the boiler room at the bottom, to the waterproof cabin, to the third-class cabin, the second-class cabin, the first-class cabin, the dining room, the entertainment room, the ballroom, and so on. We even prepared a garage with more than 10 cars ready to be scrapped."
"Everyone must be very curious. Why do we put so many cameras in these places?"
"First of all, I want to tell everyone that these cameras are connected to the signal tower on the roof of the Titanic through wires. All the cameras are waterproof and can continuously record underwater for more than 48 hours!"
"So these cameras will continue to work when the Titanic sinks. This way, not only will everyone be able to see the shocking scene of the sinking of this huge ship from the outside."
"From the inside of the Titanic, in each cabin, you can also see the world being turned upside down and a large amount of seawater pouring in. In the end, the entire cabin was soaked in water. You can experience the feelings and pain of the victims trapped in the cabin of the Titanic at that time. This is definitely an unforgettable scene for everyone!"
Chief Engineer Xia Tong concluded.
