Six Hundred and Ten. Goodbye, Titanic (Five/Five)

I made a mistake in the title of the last chapter, sorry, I only found out that I made a mistake after I posted it. Pinshu.com w w w . v o d t w . c o m…≦, in fact, that chapter has nothing to do with marriage, embarrassing! ****
The Titanic was rotting, with icicles of rust spreading like the plague over the wreck's bow rails and anchors.
Previously, a shipwreck salvage company used technologies such as acoustic imaging, sonar, and 3D cameras to study the current status of the ship, and concluded that the ship may collapse one after another in the next five to ten years.
Qin Shiou felt that this was not alarmist talk. He quietly watched the magnificent shipwreck. Since his last visit, the shipwreck had changed again.
The last time he came to take the portrait away, the foremast of the Titanic had only fallen back a little, but now it was completely collapsed and leaned against the bridge.
Icicle-like rust is the most common thing on the sunken ship. It is said that the hull of the ship is made of 2,000 steel plates. Each steel plate is 30 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 1 inch thick. A total of 3 million rivets are used to connect these steel plates. .
But now I can't see these things, what I can see is the accumulation of layers of thick rust, which makes the ship full of dilapidated and decadent.
In addition, in addition to seawater, there are various microorganisms that invade the sunken ship. They form their own communities around the sunken ship, and the damage to the sunken ship is no less than that of sea water.
The underwater undercurrent is another killer that destroys the sunken ship. Qin Shiou has read the information. Since people discovered the sunken ship, the sunken ship has moved more than 400 meters in the past 20 years, being pushed by the undercurrent at a speed of 20 meters per year.
Qin Shiou gave the squids an order from the very beginning to dismantle the Titanic from the outside, instead of letting the most famous shipwreck in history be destroyed by sea water and microorganisms. It's better to destroy it in your own hands.
This is the destiny of all things, from the Creator. destroyed by the Creator.
It was humans who built the Titanic, and ultimately destroyed it. Or human.
The reason why I chose to come around the sunken ship today, apart from Qin Shiou's leisurely time, is that the mast watchtower of the sunken ship has been broken, and it will soon fall into the sea and be washed away.
It was a historic moment for the wreck, and it was from this lookout more than a hundred years ago that lookout Frederick Fleet saw the most famous iceberg in history.
The fall of the watchtower caused the surrounding water to tremble, and Qin Shiou looked at the big ship quietly. I thought silently in my heart: Goodbye, Titanic.
In this way, a large hole of four to five square meters appeared in the hull.
Below the watchtower is the storage room. Qin Shiou directed the squid to enter the sunken ship along the big hole, looking for useful things inside.
The storage room of the Titanic stocked 34,000 kilograms of fresh pork, 5,000 kilograms of fresh fish, 11,000 kilograms of poultry meat, 40,000 eggs, 4,500 kilograms of sugar, 40 tons of potatoes, 1 ton of coffee, 1,500 bottles of wine and 20,000 kilograms of wine. Bottles of beer etc.
Undoubtedly, these things are now destroyed. What Qin Shiou wanted to find was porcelain. At that time, there were 12,000 plates, 8,000 forks, 3,000 teacups and 8,000 wine glasses on board the ship.
It turned out that the porcelain was not tightly wrapped, after all, this thing is not afraid of water. At that time, no one thought that the ship would sink to the bottom of the sea, and no one would have thought that someone would salvage the sunken ship a hundred years later, so these porcelains were in direct contact with sea water, and they were covered with microorganisms. It has no value at all.
In the corner of the storage room there is a large pile of oak barrels stacked together, and these barrels were stacked together, so when the ship sank. They were packed too tight and did not fall apart, although the position was somewhat skewed. No damage was suffered.
Qin Shiou checked it, and the barrel should be full of beer or wine. But no matter what kind of wine it was, if it stayed in the sea for a hundred years, it must be finished, which made him a little disappointed.
Not all wines become more precious the longer they are stored. Qin Shiou is someone who intends to make wine anyway. He has done some research on this kind of wine and knows that wine generally does not last long.
In the eyes of famous wine connoisseurs, wine will go through the stages of growth, maturity and aging just like human beings. They have no shelf life, but a drinking period, and it is best to drink it within this period. You can drink it later, but the taste will become worse.
Drinking wine is for the taste and health. If the wine tastes bad and is not good for the body, then no one will drink this wine.
As far as Qin Shiou knows, the drinking period of general wine is 5 to 10 years, and the best wine needs to be stored for 8 to 10 years to have the charm of maturity, so the storage time is longer.
However, there are also a very small number of particularly excellent wines that can be stored for decades or even hundreds of years if stored properly, but such wines are rare. Years ago when Prince William of England got married.
The Seagod's consciousness rolled these wine barrels, and the oak barrels were immediately shattered into pieces when they were hit. After a hundred years of invasion, although the wine barrels remained intact, they were actually rotten.
The wine barrel was broken, and the liquid mixed into the seawater was really various, and some were black, and it was unknown what kind of wine was brewed in it.
After sweeping away these oak barrels, Qin Shiou was about to leave, but suddenly found a few small barrels in the innermost part of the barrels.
There are only four of these small barrels, about 30 centimeters high, and they look short, fat, cute and q. They are different from the surrounding vats. They have a layer of paint on the outside, which are two bright yellow gold paints and two snow-white silver paints. They are quite precious at first glance.
Qin Shiou went over to take a look, and felt that the four small wine barrels should be unusual. The words chateau-petrus were written on the barrels, and there were no other signs other than that.
I found four calamari. They rolled up four small wine barrels and floated out. They found a flat place on the bottom of the sea and put them down. There were also some small boxes and cabinets here. They were all calamari some time ago. Possibly precious things they collected.
After leaving the storage compartment, Qin Shiou boarded the first-class cabin. This place was once decorated with fine wooden panels, high-end furniture and various other high-end decorations, but after a hundred years of seawater erosion, the first-class cabin became dilapidated.
There are indeed some gold and silver ornaments that have not yet rusted, but they have become mottled because microorganisms can attach to them and grow.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it still has meat. Qin Shiou found a group of squid, picked off all these gold and silver ornaments and collected them outside.
This was probably the last time he was on the Titanic, so Qin Shiou deliberately went to look at the large staircase of the first-class cabin.
At this time, the most luxurious part of the ship was located between the first and second chimneys. The grand staircase once equipped with oak paneling and gilded railings extended to the e deck, and the top was a glass dome supported by wrought iron brackets. It's still night, as long as there is light, it can shine here.
Even looking at it now, Qin Shiou can still feel its magnificence, and after feeling it, he continues to search for the gold and silver ornaments on the grand staircase, and if he finds it, let the squid take it out... (to be continued...)
