“Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you will prepare to avoid this collision in advance just as I prepared the cable before Ruth was in distress.” Liu Bufan finally emphasized, “The key is to avoid it in advance. ”

“Nonsense, you are a vicious curse.” Carl screamed, he was a little gaffe, “Damn, I shouldn’t have invited you here.” ”

“I’m done with what I should have said, and this is out of your sight, but thank you very much for the invitation.”

Liu Bufan smiled at Karl, apologized to Ruth, the Countess, Madame Bulang and several others who had a good impression of him, stood up and walked towards the grand staircase.

Behind, he heard Andrews, the chief designer of the Titanic, hurriedly assuring the restless rich:

“Don’t worry, the Titanic is the safest giant ship in the world, any two of the 16 watertight compartments can still travel when filled with water, even if the four compartments are filled with water, it can remain afloat and unsinkable, there will be no worse situation at sea, everyone enjoy this pleasant journey.”

Andrews’ underlying implication is that even hitting an iceberg is nothing scary.

Andrews put Andrews into the design of the Titanic, and all the facilities on board were shaped by his superhuman imagination and careful planning, and he knew every corner, every component, every instrument and every operation of the ship. The Titanic seems to be Andrews’ favorite child, and it is difficult for him to accept the statement that the Titanic is unsafe, not to mention that it comes from a lower-class Chinese who does not even understand the basic structure of the ship.

Although Andrews does not feel that Liu Bufan is cursing the Titanic like Carl, he believes that this is an insult to the designer.

Liu Bufan heard his extreme confidence in the Titanic from Andrews’s tone, and he did not go back to ask Andrews “what if five watertight cabins are flooded”, which would only cause Andrews’ rebellion and even anger, which was counterproductive.

As Liu Bufan himself said just now, what he wanted to say and what he should have said had already been said at the rare opportunity to have dinner with the rich, and then he had to wait for the reaction and response of the leader of the Tannick when the scene he foresaw appeared on April 14.

“Icebergs are nothing to worry about.”

After Liu Bufan left, Ismay also smiled lightly to appease the rich people at the table, “In order to make this Chu women’s flight foolproof, we temporarily replaced the iceberg observer with the company’s best Frederick Fleet, who will definitely be able to find the iceberg in the first time, so there is no need to worry at all.” Come on, raise a glass. ”

In fact, what Ismay didn’t know was that the Titanic’s original iceberg lookout Briel was replaced before setting sail, and he was very dissatisfied, and casually took the key to the telescope cabinet on himself, and the best iceberg lookout Frederick did not know whether it was out of confidence or for some reason, neither pried open the cabinet to take out the telescope, nor went to the ship to find other telescopes, completely observing the iceberg with his eyes.

In the middle of the night mist, the sight distance is undoubtedly very limited.

“Mr. Willow, please wait…” Ruth chased to the large wall clock on the corner platform of the grand staircase, “they are really a bit rude…”

“I don’t mind at all, really.” Liu Bufan smiled nonchalantly.

“Why do you just say that the Titanic hit the iceberg and rushed into the sea, but did not go further and say the prediction of the sinking of the Titanic?” Ruth had heard Liu Bufan say in the morning that the Titanic would never reach the United States.

“Hitting the iceberg is already difficult for them to accept, if the Titanic sinks again, they will definitely imprison me as an oriental wizard who misleads the public.” Liu Bufan smiled bitterly, “I don’t want to lose my freedom, if I am imprisoned, when the Titanic sinks, there will be no chance of escape.” ”

“Would that be true?” After a full day of talking between the two, Ruth felt that Liu Bufan was not a nonsense person, and largely believed Liu Bufan’s prophecy.

After experiencing death, Ruth loves life even more, and is a little afraid in her heart, “Will it really sink?” ”

Liu Bufan comforted Ruth: “Don’t worry, whether the Titanic sinks or not, you will be fine.” In any case, the lifeboat on the ship will have your place. ”

“What about you?”

“I’ll take care of myself. Go back, look, your mother is staring over here…”

“Uh… All right. ”

Ruth saw her mother’s stern eyes urging her to go back immediately, but she was unwilling to completely submit to her mother, “I want to talk to you more when I have a chance, which cabin do you live in?” I wanted to thank you this morning, but I couldn’t see anyone after a long time in third class, but I met you on deck. ”

“G60。”

Liu Bufan knew that Ruth would take Ruth very seriously, and it would be difficult for Ruth to have a chance to come to him.

“Good night, Miss Ruth.” Liu Bufan quickened his pace and walked out of the banquet hall without looking back.

Liu Bufan returned to the third-class restaurant on the F floor, and Xiao Lizi and Fabry, who were eating, immediately found him: “Hey, Liu, how delicious are the recipes eaten by the first-class banquet hall?” ”

“There is no such blessing, it offends the rich, it is not dripping, and it is hungry.”

Liu Bufan went to the window to make a third-class dinner and sat next to Xiao Lizi, and at the same table were two young people Xiao Lizi knew during the day, Tommy Wren and Richard Williams.

Tommy is a Northern Irish boatman.

Richard, a native of Switzerland, had just received an acceptance letter from Harvard University, and was escorted to Harvard by his father. Richard’s father and son bought a £61 first-class ticket, but Richard liked to play with young people in third class, and he was very familiar with Xiao Lizi and others.

The communication between young people is often very simple, Liu Bufan exchanged names with them, and quickly became acquainted.

“We’re interested to hear how you offended the rich, tell us about it.” Xiao Lizi said curiously.

“I said the Titanic would hit an iceberg in the middle of the night in two days.” Liu Bufan recounted his experience at the dinner table.

“God, how can you say that.”

Several young people exclaimed, similar to the reaction of the rich people.

“It’s crazy enough.”

“Willow, did you get a high fever from the sea last night and start talking nonsense.” Fabry moved Liu Bufan’s forehead.

“Anyway, it’s already said, and the water that spilled out can’t be recovered.” Liu Bufan shrugged, “Let’s wait and see together.” ”

The next 13th, early in the morning, Liu Bufan, Little Plum, Fabry, and Tommy still came to the deck to pass the time.

A girl dressed as a maid came to Liu Bufan’s side and whispered: “Mr. Liu, I am the countess’s maid, Madame wants to talk to you, I don’t know if you appreciate your face.” ”

“The beautiful lady is invited, of course I am very happy.” Liu Bufan’s heart was hot, and he followed the maid with great enthusiasm.
