Comprehensive experience of time and space
Chapter 114 Titanic (9)
Titanic has a total of twenty lifeboats, fourteen of which can carry sixty-five people, and the remaining six collapsible boats and emergency lifeboats can each carry forty people. Karl had each place where the lifeboats were launched be manned by six crew members and four guards in case anyone wanted to seize a seat in the lifeboat.
Carl gave order after order in an orderly manner, which made the order on the deck much better. Smith and Andrew also brought the outstanding crew members on the ship to Carl's side, and worked with him to guide everyone to escape. Their previous passive avoidance made them feel ashamed, so they acquiesced in Karl's temporary leadership position. At this time, the outstanding politicians and entrepreneurs who were left on the ship also used their unique persuasiveness to comfort the people around them.
Two children are counted as the weight of one adult. If there are more thin women, one more thin woman will be added. After the old people, women and children all get on the lifeboat, some elderly, sick, and incompetent people will start to get on. The men swam, under Andrew's expert guidance, and none of the lifeboat seats were wasted. Although some people who fished in troubled waters still got on the lifeboats, it was much better than the chaotic situation in the original drama.
Based on the crew's daily performance, Smith arranged two crew members for each lifeboat who were good at water, calm and responsible. It took an hour and a half before all the lifeboats were lowered into the sea, with a total of 1,200 people on board.
The first lifeboat put into the water was already far away from the big ship, because when the big ship sank, it would bring up a large whirlpool, and anything that came close would be swept into the seawater by the whirlpool. To ensure they would be rescued in time, each lifeboat was assigned two flashlights and a whistle. Half of the people were safe, and most of the rest were waiters and sailors. There were 890 staff members on the ship, and only forty people had escaped.
The bow of the Titanic has been completely submerged in the water, the hull is gradually tilting, and the tail is tilted upward. There is not much time left. After a fierce argument, Carl and Smith finally convinced Smith to gather all the crew members who were still at work on the deck to prepare for escape.
When Karl was directing the crowd, he secretly sent ten puppets and secretly affixed the peace charms he had drawn in advance to each person's body. This was because he wasted all his spiritual power the night before, specifically for this event. It was created by the disaster and cannot be seen by ordinary people. The function of the safety charm is to protect them from life-threatening danger. Although the cold seawater will still affect their bodies, there is no problem in staying in the water for more than an hour until rescue.
After the puppet completed its task, Karl looked at the sea, which looked very dangerous in the darkness, and at the restless crowd on the deck. He took a deep breath and directed all those who could not swim to stand up and connect them one by one with strong ropes. One of them tied their waists, and half of the three hundred sailors on the ship came to help them and slowly swam towards the lifeboat in the water.
Karl asked Leger to go with them. Leger objected strongly at first, but Karl assigned him the task of monitoring the sailors and shooting a warning shot if they abandoned those who could not swim.
Leger took a deep look at Karl. That kind of confidence made it impossible for him to doubt that the other party would be in danger. After a stalemate with Karl for a while, he still nodded in agreement and secretly swore in his heart that he would go there immediately after sending those people there. After returning, once the young master encounters danger, he will risk his life to protect the young master.
The people on the deck were already a little anxious. Karl asked everyone to check again to ensure that everyone had taken protective measures, and then they lined up and jumped into the water one by one. The sailors swam outside to prevent anyone from being too nervous. , an accident occurred. Everyone has more or less heroism in their hearts. If there is chaos, people may only care about their own lives and not care about anything else. But in Karl's calm performance, they are getting away step by step. Danger, in this kind of environment and atmosphere, it is normal for justice to catch a cold. Therefore, there was no attack on each other. Everyone helped others casually and swam to the lifeboat together.
Jack is also among this group of people, and Ruth has been persuaded by him to get on the lifeboat first. It is not as dangerous as in the original play, and Ruth does not insist on staying. Jack looked back at Karl for a while before jumping into the sea. When he first heard Karl's command, he thought the other party was making a show. But now, he suddenly felt that his previous contempt and contempt for Karl was so ridiculous. At a critical moment, He couldn't even save himself, but Karl was extremely calm and allowed everyone to get off the ship safely. This gap was so stark that he couldn't ignore it. Thinking of the surprise and appreciation in Ruth's eyes when she looked at Karl before, he felt a pain in his heart, stopped thinking about it, and jumped into the sea with the crowd.
Esme had already gotten into the lifeboat when they were not paying attention, but Smith and Andrew could not forgive themselves. After everyone went into the sea, they insisted on coexisting with the Titanic.
Karl sneered and said sarcastically: "Don't say it is so great! You are just afraid of facing public condemnation after going ashore. If you really feel guilty, use the rest of your life to do good deeds and use your knowledge and experience to warn More crew members to avoid more disasters. Oh, dying here will only make me look down on you even more!"
The two of them did subconsciously want to escape, but more importantly, their lifelong dreams were shattered. Andrew was originally going to become a genius designer who created the "unsinkable ship", but reality slapped him hard. Smith After being captains all their lives, they made many fatal mistakes on the last voyage. For the sake of temporary fame and fortune, they all lost themselves. This realization made them desperate and without the slightest will to survive.
Karl's words opened another door for them. They could do charity, give lectures, and continue to contribute to the cause of navigation in other ways. However, the condemnation they were about to face was something they should bear and could not shirk.
At this time, seawater had entered the central power system, and all the lights on the ship were extinguished, leaving only a row of emergency lights. Carl threw a set of life-saving supplies to each of them. The two looked at each other, and finally looked back at the Titanic, which they had been proud of before, put on their life jackets and jumped into the water.
Karl ordered the puppet to search the entire ship again, while he himself used small thunder and lightning techniques and cyclone techniques to remove all the larger wooden boards on the ship, and sent them far away along the sea to the crowd. This strong wind also pushed He rushed forward against the crowd. It was so dark that at the critical moment of escaping, no one noticed his actions. They just thought it was the sea breeze at night. After confirming that there was no one else on board, Carl also jumped into the sea.
Viewed from a distance, even though the Titanic has half sunk into the water, the exposed hull and row of emergency lights are still bright. Its luxurious style can still be vaguely seen, and even the surrounding sea area is illuminated. Like a large piece of blue-black gemstone, it keeps shining.
The boat broke. The chimney is broken. There were huge waves in the sea. On the stationary lifeboat, the crew fired distress rockets into the night sky one after another. The exploding fireworks seemed to be holding a funeral for the sinking ship.
"This scene is unforgettable." Mrs. Molly sat on the lifeboat and whispered at the Titanic in the distance.
Karl used the light body technique and swam very easily. A huge whirlpool appeared behind him, which he blocked with a barrier. He kept his consciousness open along the way to prevent any missing victims. Although he was very tired, he But I was relieved in my heart. The rescue was half successful. No one was killed on the ship. In just one hour, when the six ships arrived, everyone would be saved.
Carl was surprised when he met Leger who was returning halfway. This butler was really extremely loyal. He took Leger's trembling arm from the cold and swam forward, smiling: "Hey, buddy! Yours I am really touched by your loyalty. I will definitely give you a raise and promotion after you return! How about becoming a gold medal steward?" A slight warmth was sent out of his hand, gradually warming his body without letting Legie notice it. .
Legie said slowly: "Master, as long as you don't be so willful in the future, Legie will be satisfied."
"Haha, don't worry, I will never put myself in danger again. This trip to Titanic is really unforgettable!"
With so many large wooden boards and the measures taken to keep warm in advance, everyone’s situation was not that miserable. Those who couldn’t swim firmly grasped the ropes and climbed up the board, leaving the sea water where they had no place to stay, which made them feel at ease. A lot. Everyone gathered together to encourage each other and turned on all the flashlights to ensure that the rescue ship could find them as soon as possible.
An hour later, the whistle of the ship in the distance made everyone cheer. They hugged and kissed each other, and their faces were full of joy of being saved.
When the ship approached, indicating that it could not carry so many passengers, everyone almost subconsciously looked for Karl. The dependence generated at the most vulnerable time unconsciously affected them, making them believe that Karl would come up with the best solution. Good idea.
"The old people and children in the lifeboat got on the big boat first, then the women, and the remaining people who were still submerged in the sea got on the lifeboat. Those who were strong and good at swimming stayed in the water temporarily and lay down on the wooden board. In this order, wait Rescue from the remaining ships. Believe me, the remaining ships will arrive soon. None of us will die." Karl's soothing voice reached everyone's ears clearly.
The author has something to say: It feels so unreal to save everyone in one stroke, so the steps are a little more detailed, and I will also write about what happened after they landed, such as Carl's successful career, and Ruth and Jack's less than wonderful life. Life【←_←Hey!
