The Japanese Navy, which intercepted the Titanic, immediately sent the telegram to inform the Chinese side of the Chinese government, immediately dispatched the fastest naval elite, a cruise ship of Emperor Long Live and two Yuefei-class battleships. As a major aircraft carrier power, the Chinese emperor had a preference for battleships. As soon as these two battleships got off the water, they shocked the whole world again with their excellent performance. The aircraft carrier faction was also impressed by this powerful battleship, and the battleship faction regained the upper hand of the navy.

The 35000 standard displacement is 12356 mm main gun, with a speed of 28, while the main armor belt has a horsepower of 81,000, which also benefits from China's diesel engines. (Compared with diesel engines in other countries, China's diesel engine efficiency is 3% higher, 15%).

Then there are dense anti-aircraft guns, which are not too surprising. The Yuefei-class battleship has not the most anti-aircraft guns. However, there are a few points that are original.

At that time, anti-aircraft shells were equipped with trigger or mechanical time fuzes. The trigger fuse had to hit the target directly before it could detonate, and the time fuze had to be pre-installed for detonation, but the length of the detonation time was based on the estimated value of the time required for the shell to fly to the target. Since the flight altitude and speed of the incoming aircraft were randomly changed, and the mechanical time fuze was also greatly affected by environmental conditions and the flight status of the shells, its use effect was not ideal. Therefore, countries urgently needed to develop new fuzes to replace old fuzes to improve the efficiency ratio of shells and artillery.

In order to improve the damage effect of shells on targets, China was the first to successfully develop radio near-fighting fuzes. It was put into production and equipped with the Navy that year. The radio near-fighting fuzes were successfully developed based on the Doppler effect of radio waves. This kind of fuze is mainly composed of components such as oscillators, radio transceivers, selector amplifiers, electronic switches, detonators, batteries, explosives, self-fighting devices and insurance mechanisms.

When the shell flies out of the muzzle for a certain distance, the fuze safety device acts to make the fuze in an operating state. The oscillator generates a radio oscillation signal at a specific frequency, which is sent out by the radio transceiver. The emitted radio waves are reflected back when they encounter the air target (such as aircraft, missiles, etc.). Due to the relative movement between the shell and the target, a frequency difference between the reflected wave and the emitted wave is called a differential beat audio. The differential beat audio signal is selected and amplified by the selector amplifier. When the signal intensity reaches a certain value, an electronic switch can be turned on and detonated, so that the shell explodes at a distance closer to the target, and the fragments formed by the projectiles and shock waves can be damaged.

In addition, excellent radar and precise fire control have made the Yuefei class have the ability to fight aircraft well. Later, in World War II, the Yuefei class battleship once fought against the Willy aircraft carrier fleet alone, and as a result, it shot down more than 30 aircraft. It also verified its performance.

The three giant ships formed a search and rescue fleet and began to run to the Bering Strait at full speed, preparing to intercept the Titanic there. However, the Titanic was in some considerations and deviated from its course, which made the search and rescue operation not complete the mission. The Titanic took another step towards the abyss!

1912414, on Sunday night, a calm night, without even a wind. If anything, the crew on the ship would find the light of the waves swaying on the iceberg. The Titanic sailed on the dark and cold ocean at a speed of 22 knots. Many ships sent ice information notifications, and Captain Smith ordered the lookout to observe carefully.

The icebergs drifted further south than in previous years. However, surprisingly, despite custom-made gilded stair handles and hand-woven carpets for the first class, the White Star Company did not equip the lookouts with telescopes! 1140 points, the lookouts Frederick Fleet discovered a black shadow "sized two tables" in the distance, which grew at a very fast speed.

He rang the alarm bell of the three bridges and grabbed the phone: "There is an iceberg right in front of you!" The sixth deputy Moody on the ground answered the phone notified the eldest mate Murdoch next to him. Murdoch ordered to slow down, full the rudder left, stop the ship and reverse. It was later proved that this was the stupidest decision. The best choice at that time was either to speed up while full the rudder left and take some risks; or to slow down while hitting the iceberg with a solid bow. On that cold night in 19124, the Titanic and the iceberg had a death kiss.

Later, people knew about the result of this collision. But the passengers and crew on the ship responded differently at that time. Some unsleeping passengers in the first and second class cabins were awakened by a slight metal scratch sound. The hull shook slightly. Some thought they had encountered a big wave, some thought they had hit the reef, and some thought they had a propeller malfunction. However, the passengers in the cabin below felt much more violently.

Some passengers saw the milky white iceberg passing through the porthole. Some of the wiped ice cubes fell into the cabin. The immigrant passengers in the lower cabin were even more frightened to find that the cold and bone-black sea water was passing through the crack of the door from some unknown place. The ship stopped quickly. Some passengers put on coats and came to the deck. The stars were flashing over the North Atlantic Ocean, and the temperature was as low as one degree below zero. Under the dark sky, the Titanic windows emitted a warm yellow light.

The four tall yellow and black smoke were emitting white steam smoke. Suddenly, three suddenly made deafening roars and neighing sounds. Passengers who knew the steam engine knew that the boiler safety valve on the ship was releasing excess overheated high-pressure steam. Captain Smith, who was notified, was together with the chief shipbuilding engineer of Harlan Wolf, to check the damage.

The five compartments in front were pouring into the sea. The seawater seemed to be methodically spreading across the h deck. Under the dim light of the mail compartment, packets of mail floated on the sea water. After checking all the watertight compartments, Andrews calmly said to Captain Smith: "The ship is out of salvation." Captain Smith asked how much time could be left, and the reply was one hour, up to two hours.

Everyone knew what happened afterwards. At 05 on the 15th, Captain Smith ordered the preparation to release the lifeboat. 015, and the Titanic sent out a "cqd rescue signal. cqd was a common ground distress signal at that time. Soon, it sent out a sos distress signal recently confirmed by the International Maritime Association.

Then, twenty-five nautical miles away, the target party was not yet determined

The Guolu Luxury Tri-ship Group finally found the target and began to make a frantically accident: The Emperor Long Live almost abandoned all the decorations, which reduced its weight by 1,000 tons, and the steam turbine was started. Under extreme pressure, the 8-ton giant ship roared and its speed rose sharply. The cruise ship of 20 knots-25-30-31 knots was only 31 knots.

However, the two Yuefei-class battleships performed even more excessively. Their starting point was a new generation of engines and gas turbines! So, and the publicity was different, these two Yuefei-class battleships actually had a set of engines, that is, a gas turbine with a capacity of 60,000 horsepower. This made the maximum speed of these two battleships reach 34 knots. Any battleship in the world is getting faster

Cut out the huge waves, and the three giant ships arrived at the Titanic's encounter after 43 minutes>

At this time, although the Titanic was in full swing, it was still struggling. The hull was stable, and those who seemed conservative at the time saved the entire ship at this time.

045, the first lifeboat was put down. The first rocket in distress was launched on the ship. A shiny white Mars slowly fell. 055, the bow of the Titanic was already in the water. The work on the side of the lifeboat was messy. Although the virtues of women and children (women and children in first and second class cabins) boarding the lifeboat first were observed, many lifeboats were put down in mid-air.

However, this cannot be blamed on the crew. At that time, the sailing community believed that if the lifeboat was fully loaded with people, it would cause damage or even capsize. The lifeboat of the Titanic was designed very strongly, but the crew did not know this. As a result, it could carry 1,178-person lifeboats, and only people were on (some people were rescued from the lifeboat after jumping into the sea).

More than two thousand people remained on the deck, and the last folding lifeboat was put down on the sea. The band on the boat accompanied the passengers. Music was used to soothe the people who were destined to die in a few dozen minutes, and it seemed that they would play until the last moment. Faced with the choice of life and death, some people chose to die like gentlemen. The rich man Guggenheim put on his night dress and "even if he dies, he will die like a gentleman." Mrs. Evans from Denver gave the lifeboat seat to the mother of a child, while Isme, the chairman of the White Star Company, left his passengers, his crew, and his land boat, jumped into the lifeboat at the last moment. The good and evil of human nature are revealed here.

Then, three huge ships appeared on the cold ocean, #, and after confirming that no one was missing, the three giant ships ventured over, the largest Emperor, the Long Live on the starboard side, and the other two leaned on the left.

Within the next half hour, all the passengers on the Titanic left the big ship that was about to sink, and then three giant ships left the Titanic and watched the sinking of the luxurious giant ship. Hundreds of lights shone on him, promising to give him a solemn farewell ceremony.

As the sea water poured into the front of the hull, the stern gradually left the water surface and raised high. At 1:35 am, Puss sent out his last telegram to call for help. 213, 29 large boilers on the ship left the base, collided with each other and smashed through water-tight walls one after another, smashing big holes at the head of the ship and falling into the seawater.

At 217, the sea water poured into the central power control room, causing a short circuit, and the lights of the ship went out. At 2:18, accompanied by a huge breaking sound, the Titanic hull broke into two parts from the third and fourth places. At 2:20, the bow of the ship sank into the sea, and the second half fell back to the sea, and within a minute, the first half of the Titanic sank into the water.

The Titanic is the product of the peak of human dreams, reflecting the strong self-confidence of human beings to master the world. Its sinking shows human beings the mysterious power of nature and the unpredictable fate. By the day the Titanic sinking, people in the Western world had enjoyed 100 peace and peace. Technology has made steady progress, industry has developed rapidly, and people are full of confidence in the future. The Titanic's sinking awakened all this.

This "never sinking steamer" - the largest artificial steel structure after the Eiffel Tower, a great achievement in the industrial era, was careless and careless about the power of nature, so it sank during the first voyage. The Titanic will always keep people in mind the price of human arrogance and confidence. People will never forget this picture: the Titanic held its head up at the bottom of the sea, and its destruction and stains could not conceal its nobility. This is her destination. History has evolved into a legend.

This disaster shocked the international community because it proved to some people that the technological achievements of people cannot be compared with the power of nature. The steelmaking technology at that time was not very mature, and the steel produced could not be built in modern standards. The steel plate used on the Titanic contains many chemical impurities and vulcanized, and long-term soaking in cold seawater makes the steel plate more fragile.

On the other hand, the sinking of the Titanic greatly affected the manufacturing of the ship and radio telecommunications. On December 12, London, England was convened. The treaty formulated by the conference led to the formation and investment of the International Iceberg Testing Organization. The treaty also agreed to a new provision: all manned ships should have enough lifeboats to carry all people on the ship, and appropriate relevant training should also be carried out. In addition, radio communications should be opened 24 hours a day, plus a 2 backup power supply, so that the call for help will not be missed. The treaty also agreed: any rocket sent from the ship must be interpreted as a distress signal.
