Silence.
At this moment, everyone in front of the TV was silent.
Before the live broadcast, many people had looked up information and knew everything about the sinking of the Titanic in advance. They could even recite all the processes that the Titanic went through during the two hours it sank.
However, when they really saw the entire Titanic tilt up like a seesaw, the bow of the ship plunged deep into the water, and the stern was lifted into the air, everyone sank.
"Next, the Titanic should break in the middle!" Many viewers who were familiar with the sinking process of the Titanic could not help but mutter to themselves.
In history, the sinking process of the Titanic was very terrifying because the bow of the ship sank into the water and the stern was lifted into the air. This caused the middle part of the ship to be under great stress.
The Titanic obviously could not be a whole. It was formed by welding many pieces of steel together.
The welding technology of 100 years ago could be imagined. It was far from being as strong as the modern welding technology.
It was fine when sailing on the sea under normal circumstances. However, once the stern was lifted into the air, the middle part of the ship was under stress of tens of thousands of tons. The strength of the welding parts obviously could not support the integrity of the Titanic.
Therefore, the entire Titanic broke from the middle with a crack. The bow of the ship sank directly into the water, and the stern struggled on the surface of the sea for three minutes. Then, it sank to the bottom of the sea.
The Titanic, an unprecedentedly huge ship, had completely withered at the bottom of the sea.
Then, the question was, would this Titanic be like the Titanic of the past, unable to withstand the great stress and break in the middle?
In fact, even the two big bosses, Jia Yapeng and Cameron, did not know. Boss Jia asked that when the Titanic was welded, the simplest welding method was used. They must not use advanced and strong welding methods like argon arc welding.
However, even the most common welding strength in modern times was far beyond the level of 100 years ago. Who knew if the new Titanic would break in the middle?
However, regardless of whether it would break or not, it would break in the end. Otherwise, the entire live broadcast would completely collapse.
Therefore, Boss Jia also ordered his men to install special explosives in the middle of the ship. Once the new ship was extremely sturdy and could not be broken in the middle, Boss Jia would have to set off the explosives again.
Fortunately, the explosives were specially developed for blasting, so there wouldn't be too obvious a fire. This was especially so when combined with the chaotic scene when the Titanic sank and the continuous explosions in the eight boiler rooms. When the time came, as long as the camera avoided a specific angle during the live broadcast, no one would realize that the Titanic had been blown up from the middle.
However, it turned out that Boss Jia's action was a little superfluous. Ordinary welding methods couldn't withstand tens of thousands of tons of stress. After the tail of the new Titanic was raised high, the wailing sound of steel being twisted could be heard continuously.
In the end, these twisted steel reached its limit. In a series of explosions from the boiler rooms, the middle of chimneys No. 2 and No. 3 was blown apart, and the remaining two chimneys were also broken.
Under the gaze of more than a billion viewers, the Titanic broke apart in the air. It was as if a giant god had grabbed the two ends of the Titanic and then gently exerted force on both sides, breaking the Titanic into two halves like it was a piece of broken ice.
After the Titanic broke, the bow completely lost its support and began to sink to the bottom of the sea at a speed of 40 miles per hour. The stern of the ship persisted on the surface of the sea for about five minutes before slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.
From the collision at 2: 02 in the morning to 4: 26 in the afternoon, after a struggle of 2 hours and 20 minutes, the Titanic finally disappeared from the surface of the sea completely. This new cruise ship had finally followed its ancestor's boat and sank to the bottom of the sea.
However, unlike their ancestors, no one wanted the Titanic to sink back then. Now, there were 1.5 billion people watching the sinking of the Titanic. This was a grand celebration for all humans.
The Titanic sank, but the live broadcast was not over. At this time, Fox TV switched the camera lens to the camera lens inside the ship. Although the lens was full of turbid seawater, these cameras still faithfully recorded the situation inside the Titanic.
"52 internal cameras, 36 are still working!" This was the prompt that appeared in the upper left corner of Fox TV's live broadcast screen. The camera then rotated every 10 seconds, constantly showing the images taken by the 36 working cameras. However, at this time, there was no longer any commentary from the host. The screen was silent, showing the situation of the Titanic that was lying at the bottom of the sea.
However, the bottom of the sea was obviously not a normal working environment for a camera. After only 20 minutes, only 24 of the 36 cameras were left.
After an hour, this number became 16, and after two hours, there were 12 left, but at this time, the number of viewers who were still watching the live broadcast was less than 100 million.
Everyone was very busy, and no one was bored enough to watch the turbid seawater. Fox TV quickly resumed its normal broadcast of TV programs, but Fox TV set up a special channel. As long as everyone turned on the special channel, they could still see the live broadcast of the camera.
So, at 8 o 'clock the next morning, some viewers turned on the special channel to see if the live broadcast had ended, but they were surprised to find that the live broadcast was still going on.
"52 internal cameras, 1 is still working!"
"What! It's been more than 10 hours, there is still a camera working! " The audience was shocked, and it was still Sunday, so although most of the audience chose to watch other interesting TV programs, they couldn't help but turn back to the live broadcast channel every ten minutes, wanting to see if the last camera was still working.
However, to everyone's surprise, the camera was still working even after the sky had turned dark. Even though the only scene it captured was the murky seawater, it was still working.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Suddenly, Fox TV was surprised to find that the number of simultaneous viewers on the live broadcast channel, which had fallen to more than 10 million, suddenly began to increase again. By 8 o 'clock that night, more than 300 million people were watching at the same time, and these people were watching a camera that was destined to die and could only show the turbid seawater at the same time.
"Come on! You must hang in there! "
"Camera 21, come on!"
"We are all camera 21!!"
Because the number of this camera was 21, many people began to cheer for camera 21. They hoped that camera 21 could continue to work … Although the audience didn't know the meaning of persisting, after all, this camera could only show the turbid seawater.
But they persisted, hoping that camera 21 could continue to work.
Camera 21 seemed to be responding to the audience's persistence, and this camera miraculously held on for 24 hours … 48 hours … 72 hours … It wasn't until 182 hours later that the camera suddenly went out, and then the live broadcast ended.
However, this camera had become a legend and history, a legend that was remembered by people all over the world. As soon as camera 21 stopped working, Boss Jia sent divers to salvage this camera and put it in the display cabinet of the Daqian Group.
Years later, the Daqian Group took out this camera for a charity auction, and no one expected that camera 21 would be sold for a sky-high price of 1.2 billion US dollars. It could be said to be the most expensive camera in history, and there was no other.
