Chapter 4255 4257【Terrible Prophecy】

“How dare you talk nonsense?”

“How dare you talk nonsense?”

“You are simply an alarmist!”

Hearing what he said, everyone present was shocked and stunned, and then they all retorted.

Especially Mr. Ismay, the director of the ship, was the most excited. He looked at Xiang Nan angrily and was about to punch out his fist next.

"What I said is true." Xiang Nan said, casting a magic spell, and in an instant, a giant ship appeared in the banquet hall, surprising everyone.

Then the giant ship collided with the side of the iceberg, and the sealed cabin on the bottom was torn by the iceberg. A large amount of water entered, causing the hull to be unable to bear the weight, and eventually broke into two parts and sank into the sea.

The passengers were crying and running for their lives, as anxious as a lost dog. The survivors were lucky enough to be rescued by nearby ships, while most of the others were helplessly buried at the bottom of the sea.

(Seeing this scene, everyone present turned pale with shock and trembled all over. This was the most cruel scene they had ever seen, as terrifying as hell.)

Xiang Nan then specially showed the scenes of several people before they died. One was the captain Edward, who was buried in the sea with the ship. His last words were "like an Englishman (die;

One was the designer Andrew, who was also buried with the ship. His last words were, "I'm sorry for not making the ship stronger";

One is King Astor IV, who put his wife and maid on the lifeboat and then stayed on the boat alone; the other two are the founders of Macy's Department Store, Mr. and Mrs. Strauss, who chose to stay on the boat together to receive the gift. die.

One is Mr. Guggenheim. After he put his mistress on the lifeboat, he and his attendants changed into evening clothes, sat in the banquet hall together, quietly waiting for death, and left a famous saying, "No lady and Children are left on this ship because of my cowardice.”

The scenes shown by Xiang Nan were extremely real and vivid, so after everyone saw these scenes, they couldn't help but be deeply touched, and they all paid attention to those brave gentlemen.

“Mr. Dawson, why did the ship collide? Can changes be made?” Mr. Guggenheim asked.

Hearing his question, everyone present also looked at Xiang Nan.

"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "The reason why such a tragedy occurred is the result of a combination of many reasons. First, in April, the icebergs melted, and there were many icebergs floating in the Atlantic Ocean;

Second, steel will become cold brittle at temperatures ranging from zero to minus forty degrees, with its toughness greatly reduced and very easy to break. Third, the cold front formed by warm air creates sea fog, which affects the observation of observers.

These are natural disasters, and the following are man-made disasters.

First, the Titanic traveled at full speed in order to reach New York faster so that it could grab page space and make news;

Secondly, since the port of Southampton, the binoculars on the ship have been locked in the cabinet, so the lookout can only look out with the naked eye, so even if the iceberg is found, it is too late to avoid it;

Third, for aesthetic reasons, there are not enough lifeboats on the ship. In the event of an accident, the lifeboats can save half of the passengers.

Fourth, the cooperation of the crew is not high. Some crew members are familiar with the tiller instructions of the sailing ship era, and some crew members are familiar with the rudder instructions of the steam ship. These instructions are different, so the ship does not turn in time..."

Hearing what Xiang Nan said, everyone present looked at the ship director Ismay and the ship designer Andrew.

Ismay suddenly became a little nervous and said stammeringly, "Of course...I think...should..."

He didn’t expect that Xiang Nan knew so many secrets.

For example, he secretly ordered Captain Edward to grab the news and rush to New York early. In this way, Titanic would steal the show and White Star would benefit greatly.

For example, he instructed designer Andrew to reduce the number of lifeboats in order to provide more space for first-class guests. Another example is that the cabinet containing the telescope is locked. Starting from Southampton Port, the lookout can only rely on naked eyes and so on.

These are secrets that no one else can know. He doesn't know how Xiang Nan knew them.

Coupled with Xiang Nan's weird and unpredictable abilities, he really didn't know what other secrets Xiang Nan knew, so he didn't dare to deny it, so he could only quibble.

"Except for the cold brittleness of steel and the weather, I don't know yet, I can guarantee that everything else is true." At this moment, the ship designer Andrew said, "I am very sorry."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ismay angrily.

Although from his stammering words, everyone realized that what Xiang Nan said was basically true. But the ship designer Andrew had already admitted it, but Ismay still wanted to quibble, which really made them very angry.

Ismay also panicked immediately.

The people present were all celebrities, gentry, and dignitaries, including several U.S. senators.

 No matter how much he is a ship director, he is nothing compared to these big shots, so he cannot bear the anger of these people at all.

“Mr. Dawson, what should we do now?” Guggenheim asked.

“First reduce the speed of the boat. In the night environment, it can no longer travel at full speed. What is the difference between that and riding a bull blindfolded? The faster the bull runs, the faster it will die.

Second, give my telescope to the lookout. This is an infrared night vision telescope that can see things dozens of kilometers away at night. These two things are basically enough. Xiang Nan said and suddenly took out a telescope.

This is a military-grade infrared night vision telescope he specially purchased. It can see up to thirty or forty kilometers away at sea level. This distance was enough for the Titanic to avoid the iceberg in time when it discovered it.

Everyone was stunned when they saw that he could take out an item with just one move of his hand.

“Oh my god, I can see so clearly~” After Astor IV took the telescope, he couldn’t help but take a look at it and couldn’t help but exclaimed.

It was pitch black outside the ship, but after using Xiang Nan's telescope, I could still see the outside world clearly. It was really amazing.

When everyone heard what he said, they all wanted to take a look, and those who had tried it were all amazed.

“If this thing existed in the war, my God, I can’t imagine how useful it would be.” Colonel Gracie marveled.

As a professional soldier, he immediately realized the military value of the infrared night vision telescope after he got it.

Because fighting is inseparable from sneak attacks, sneak attacks are often launched suddenly at night when the line of sight is disturbed.

With this infrared night vision telescope, it will be difficult for night attacks to occur. After all, no matter how dark the night is, it can see clearly, so there is no chance that the enemy will get close.

"It's best not to use it in the military." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, but he knew that this was unavoidable.
