610. Goodbye, Titanic
The title of the previous chapter was wrong. Sorry, I realized that I was wrong after I posted it. In fact, that chapter has nothing to do with marriage, it is embarrassing! ****
The Titanic was decaying, with icicle rust spreading like a plague on the bow rails and anchors of the wreck.
Previously, a shipwreck salvage company used sound imaging, sonar and 3D camera technologies to study the current situation of the ship, and determined that the ship may collapse one after another within the next five to ten years.
Qin Shiou felt that this was not an exaggeration. He quietly watched the spectacular shipwreck. The last time he came, the shipwreck had changed again.
The last time he came to take away the portrait, the front mast of the Titanic was just a little tilted backward, and now it has completely fallen down and leaned against the bridge.
The most common icicle rust on the shipwreck is now. It is said that the ship's shell is spliced with 2,000 steel plates, each of which is 30 feet long, 6 feet wide and 1 inch thick. A total of 3 million rivets were used to connect these steel plates.
But now I can't see these things anymore. What I can see is the pile of heavy rust on the stack, making the ship full of dilapidated decadence.
In addition to sea water, there are also various microorganisms that invade the shipwreck. They form their own communities everywhere in the shipwreck, and the damage to the shipwreck is not less than that of sea water.
The underwater underwater is another murderer who destroys the shipwreck. Qin Shiou has read the information. Since people discovered the shipwreck, the shipwreck has moved more than 400 meters in the past twenty years, and is driven by the undercurrent at a moving speed of 20 meters per year.
Qin Shiou gave the calamari orders from the beginning to dismantle the Titanic from the periphery. Instead of destroying the most famous shipwreck in history by destroying the seawater and microorganisms, it is better to destroy it in his own hands.
This is the fate of all things, which is formed by the Creator and destroyed by the Creator.
The one who built the Titanic was human, and the one who eventually destroyed it was human.
In addition to Qin Shiou's leisurely life, another reason was that the mast lookout of the shipwreck was broken and was about to fall into the sea and then washed away.
For the shipwreck, this is a historic scene. From this observation deck more than a hundred years ago, the lookout Frederick Fleet saw the most famous iceberg in history.
The fall of the watchtower caused the surrounding sea to tremble for a moment. Qin Shiou looked at the big ship quietly and thought silently in his heart: Goodbye, Titanic.
A large hole of four or five square meters appeared on the hull. Under the watchtower was the storage room. Qin Shiou directed the calamari to enter the wreckage along the large hole and searched for useful things inside.
The Titanic storage room stored 34,000 kilograms of fresh pork, 5,000 kilograms of fresh fish, 11,000 kilograms of poultry meat, 40 kilograms of eggs, 4500 kilograms of sugar, 40 kilograms of potatoes, 1 ton of coffee, 1,500 bottles of wine and 20,000 beer, etc.
There is no doubt that these things are now destroyed. Qin Shiou was looking for porcelain. At that time, there were 12,000 plates, 8,000 forks, 3,000 tea cups and 8,000 wine glasses on the ship.
As a result, the porcelain was not tightly wrapped. After all, this thing was not afraid of water. At that time, no one thought that the ship would sink to the bottom of the sea, nor that someone would have come to salvage the wreck in a hundred years, so these porcelains were directly in contact with the sea water, and were already covered with microorganisms, and there was no value at all.
In the corner of the storage room, there were a pile of oak barrels stacked. Because these barrels were piled together, they were too tight to scatter when the ship sank. Although the position was somewhat crooked, they were not damaged.
Qin Shiou checked and found that the barrel should be full of beer or wine, but no matter what kind of wine it was, it would definitely be over in the sea for a hundred years, which disappointed him.
Not all wines are more precious the longer they are stored. Qin Shiou is a person who intends to make wine. He has a little research on this kind of wine and knows that wine usually cannot be stored for long.
In the eyes of famous wine tasting artists, wine will go through stages such as growth, maturity and aging, just like humans. They have no shelf life and have a suitable drinking period. It is best to drink it during this period. It can be drunk even if it is put in later, and the taste will become worse.
Drinking wine is for taste and health care. If the wine tastes bad and is not good for the body, no one will drink this kind of wine.
According to Qin Shiou's knowledge, the average wine drinking period is 5 to 10 years. Best wines need to be stored for 8 to 10 years before they can have mature charm, so they will be stored for a longer time.
However, there are also a very small number of particularly excellent wines that can be stored for decades or even hundreds of years when properly stored, but this kind of wine is rare. Qin Shiou looked up information at that time and found that the century-old cellar wines that have appeared in recent years were at the wedding of Prince William of England about ten years ago.
The sea god consciousness swept these barrels, and the oak barrel immediately turned into pieces when it was hit. After a hundred years of invasion, although the barrel remained the same, it was actually rotten.
The barrels were broken, and the liquids mixed into the sea water were really different, and some were black. I don’t know what was brewed with wine in it back then.
After sweeping off these oak barrels, Qin Shiou was about to leave, but suddenly found that there were several small barrels in the innermost part of the barrel.
There are only four of these small buckets, which are about thirty centimeters tall. They look short, fat and cute. They are different from the surrounding big buckets. They have a layer of paint on the outside, two bright yellow gold paints and two snow-white silver paints. You can tell at a glance that they are quite precious.
Qin Shiou went over and looked at it, thinking that the four small wine barrels should be unusual. The words "chateau-pet" are written on the barrels, and there are no other signs.
After finding four calamaris, they rolled up four small barrels and floated out, found a flat place at the bottom of the sea and put them down. There were also some small boxes and cabinets here, which were probably precious things that calamaris collected some time ago.
After leaving the storage compartment, Qin Shiou got into the first class cabin. This place was once decorated with fine wooden panels, equipped with high-end furniture and various other high-end decorations, but after a hundred years of seawater erosion, the first class cabin became ragged.
There are indeed some gold and silver jewelry that are not rusted yet, but they become mottled because microorganisms can attach to them to grow.
No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they have meat. Qin Shiou found a group of squids in, picked all the gold and silver jewelry and collected them outside.
This was probably the last time I came to the Titanic to take a look, so Qin Shiou went to the first class staircase to take a look.
The most luxurious part of the boat was located between the first and second chimneys. The large staircase, once equipped with oak paneling and gilded railings, extended to the e-deck. The top was a glass dome supported by a wrought iron bracket. Whether it was day or night, it could be sprinkled here as long as there was light.
Even now, Qin Shiou can still feel its majesty, and then after feeling it, continue to search for gold and silver jewelry on the big stairs, and if you find it, you can take the calamari out...
