Please tell me the details of Ocean Star.

The Star of the Sea, one of the four giant gems in the imperial court of Mongolia, is said to be used for divination and sky observation. Its origin is unknown, but one of its sources was plundered from a small Slavic country during the "eldest son's Western Expedition". The texture of the gem is blue, about the size of a seal. Its birthplace is Laitan (now Nogundi area in western Pakistan). It is said that after being driven to the north of the Great Wall by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Mongolian Empire was lost during the migration of Mongolian nobles, and its whereabouts are still unknown. Some people claimed that when the Germans captured Kiev in World War II, they saw the Ocean Star in the underground vault of the Soviet National Bank, but it was not confirmed. In the middle of the sea in the movie Titanic is based on the real diamond of doom "Hope". Transparent diamonds with bright dark blue are rare treasures. There are only a few big diamonds in the world, and the famous diamond "Hope" is one of them. The existing diamond "Hope", weighing 45.52 carats, has its rare dark blue. It is said that it is not only beautiful blue, but also seems to emit a fierce light. This may be because its foggy history is full of strange and tragic experiences, and it always brings irresistible bad luck to its owner. Disaster Star Titanic 19 12 April 14, Sunday night, a calm night, not even a little wind. If there is, the crew will find the little phosphorescence of the waves on the iceberg. Titanic sailed on this dark and cold ocean at a speed of 22.3 knots. Captain Smith ordered the lookout to observe carefully after receiving ice reports from many ships nearby. Because it is a warm winter this year, icebergs drift farther south than in previous years. However, the crew of Titanic forgot to bring their binoculars, so the lookout could only observe with the naked eye. At 23: 40, Frederic fleet, a lookout, found a shadow "the size of two tables" in the distance, and it became bigger at a fast speed. He knocked the alarm bell on the bridge three times and grabbed the phone: "There is an iceberg directly ahead!" " ".Six Moody officials who answered the phone informed the first mate Murdoch next to them. Murdoch ordered to slow down, left full rudder, stop the ship and reverse the car. It turns out that this is the stupidest decision. At that time, the best choice was to slow down and hit an iceberg with a solid bow. 19 12 On that cold night in April, the Titanic and the iceberg kissed each other in death. Before 13 hours, operator Philip received a weak radio signal from Canada, and operator Elise from nearby California sent a telegram to Titanic. Californian's telegram was so loud that it almost deafened Philip's eardrum, so he cut it off, even though it was related to icebergs. At the same time, Elis entered the wrong format and forgot to add Meg. After sending it again, he went to bed. The iceberg hit the hull, causing the rivets at the bottom of the ship to be damaged. At first, considering that the material of the rivet is fragile, slag was added in the rivet manufacturing process, but the slag was too dense, which made the rivet fragile and unable to withstand the impact (the pressure of the rivet at that time was about 65438+44 pounds). After the rivet broke, seawater flooded into the watertight compartment, but at that time, the maximum bearing limit of the Titanic watertight compartment was 4. The result of this collision was later known to people. But at that time, the passengers and crew on board reacted differently. Some passengers who didn't sleep well in first class and second class were awakened by a slight metal scraping sound. The hull gave a slight vibration. Some people think it's a big wave, some people think it's hitting the rocks, and some people think it's propeller failure. But the passengers in the cabin below felt much stronger vibration. Some passengers saw milky white icebergs passing by outside the porthole. Some scraped ice fell into the cabin. The immigrant passengers on the ground floor were even more shocked to find that the cold sea water was overflowing the car door from a place I didn't know. The ship stopped soon. Some passengers put on their coats and came to the deck. The stars are shining over the North Atlantic, and the temperature is as low as MINUS one degree. Under the dark sky, the window of Titanic gave off a warm light yellow light. Four tall yellow and black chimneys were filled with white steam smoke. Suddenly, the three of them suddenly gave a deafening roar and scream. Passengers who know about steam engines know that it is the boiler safety valve on board that releases excess superheated high-pressure steam. Who did Captain Smith and Harlan notify? 6? 1 thomas andrew, chief shipbuilding engineer of Wolf Company, inspected the damage together. The five carriages in front are all submerged in the sea. The sea seems to be flowing through H deck in an orderly way. In the dim light of the mail cabin, packages of mail floated on the sea. After checking all watertight compartments, Andrew said quietly to Captain Smith, "This ship is hopeless. Captain Smith asked how much time was left, and the answer was one hour, two hours at the most. What happened after that is already very clear to everyone. At 0: 05 am on June 5438+05, Captain Smith ordered the lifeboat to be released. At 0: 00 15, Titanic sent out a distress signal of "CQD·MGY". CQD was the universal distress signal at that time, and MGY was the radio calling code of Titanic. Soon after, the SOS distress signal newly determined by the International Maritime Association was issued. Many ships in the Atlantic Ocean have received distress telegrams. Canada Pacific's Temple Mount, Canard's Capecia, Russian cargo ship Myanmar, as well as Frankfurt, Virginia and Olympic are all accelerating to the accident site. The exception is that the operator of the tramp "California" just outside 18 nautical miles has turned off the telegram and gone to bed. The ship has been trapped by ice floes for nearly a day, and nothing serious happened on board all night, as if nothing serious would happen. At 0045 hours, the first lifeboat was lowered. The ship launched its first rocket in distress. A shining white spark slowly falls. At 0: 55, the bow of the Titanic was submerged. The work by the lifeboat is a mess. Although the virtues of women and children (women and children in first class and second class) boarding lifeboats first have been observed, many lifeboats are lowered in mid-air. However, this can't blame the crew. At that time, the maritime community believed that if the lifeboat was full of people, it would cause damage and even capsize. Titanic's lifeboat was well designed, but the crew didn't know it. Results 1 178 people can be carried in the lifeboat, and only 65 1 people got on it (someone jumped into the sea and was rescued from the lifeboat). On the port side of the ship, lifeboats only carry women and children. On the starboard side, men are allowed to board the ship only after women have the priority to escape. So more people were rescued on the starboard side than on the port side. 1: 40, the last folding lifeboat was put into the sea. The band on the ship accompanied the passengers and used music to appease those who were doomed to die in a few minutes, playing until the last minute. Faced with the choice between life and death, some people choose to die like a gentleman. Rich Guggenheim put on his evening dress. "Even if he dies, he will die like a gentleman. "Mrs. Evans from Denver gave her lifeboat seat to the mother of a child, and Ismail, the chairman of White Star Company, left his passengers, crew and his boat at the last minute and jumped into the lifeboat. The goodness and evil of human nature are exposed here. As more and more sea water poured into the front of the hull, the stern gradually left the water and tilted high. 65438+ At 0: 35 in the morning, seawater was immersed in the boiler room. 10: 02, Phillips, who has been sticking to his post, sent the last distress telegram. At 2: 00 13, 29 large boilers on board left the base one after another, collided with each other and broke a watertight wall. The bow of the ship broke a big hole and fell into the sea. At 2: 00 17, seawater flooded into the central power control room, causing a short circuit and the lights of the whole ship went out. 18 at 2: 00 am, with a loud noise, the Titanic hull broke into two parts from the third and fourth chimneys. At 2: 20, the bow part sank into the sea and the second half hit the sea. In less than a minute, it sank into the water with the first half of the Titanic. 1523 passengers and crew are on call. Although many passengers escaped from the hull, they were sucked into the sea together when they sank, or lost their temperature in the cold sea water and died. Many passengers' bodies have not been found, and they are likely to be trapped in the engine room and drowned alive. People who fell into the water soon lost consciousness. What awaits them is rapid hypothermia, nerve paralysis and death. The people in the lifeboat also froze to death. Some people completely rely on strong will, half-immersed in cold sea water, and hold on to the overturned lifeboat No.2. It was not until half past three that Canard's passenger ship Carpathia arrived at the scene of the accident first. At 4 o'clock, the crew of Carpathia found the first lifeboat in the twilight of the North Atlantic. The rescue work continued until 8: 30 in the morning, and the lifeboat 12 tied the rescue cable. Of the 2208 crew and passengers on the Titanic, only 705 survived. The captain and priest of the Carpathia hosted a mourning ceremony in the dining room. At 8: 50, turn around and return to new york. On April 18, the Karpas arrived at new york Port. Thousands of people watched them pass the Statue of Liberty on the Waterray coast of Manhattan Island. At Pier 54, about 30,000 people stood in the rain, silently welcoming the survivors of the Titanic. The news of the sinking of Titanic shocked the whole western world. At that time, people were no less shocked than the 9. 1 1 incident in the United States in this century. Flags were flown at half-mast in many places on both sides of the Atlantic. King George V of England and President Taft of the United States exchanged messages of condolence. Kaiser Wilhelm II also sent a message of condolence. The consequences and influence of the sinking of the Titanic are the product of the peak of human dreams, which reflects human's strong confidence in mastering the world. Her sinking showed mankind the mysterious power of nature and the unpredictability of fate. On the day the Titanic sank, people in the western world had enjoyed 100 years of stability and peace. With the steady progress of science and technology and the rapid development of industry, people are full of confidence in the future. The sinking of the Titanic awakened all this. This unsinkable ship is the largest man-made steel structure after the Eiffel Tower and a great achievement in the industrial age. Because it was careless about the forces of nature, it sank on its first maiden voyage. Titanic will always remind people of the price of human arrogance and self-confidence. People will never forget this picture: Titanic held her head high at the bottom of the sea, and ruins and stains could not hide her nobility. This is where she belongs. History has thus evolved into a legend. The disaster shocked the international community. Because it proves to some people that people and their scientific and technological achievements cannot be compared with the forces of nature. At that time, the steelmaking technology was not very mature, and the steel produced was not made by modern standards. The steel plate used in Titanic contains many chemical impurities, such as zinc sulfide, which, combined with long-term immersion in cold seawater, makes the steel plate more fragile. On the other hand, the schematic diagram of the collision of the Titanic is not in line with the public's idea: there are also many statements about the sinking form of the Titanic. Including the sinking of the whole ship; The hull folds near the middle of the second and third chimneys and then sinks vertically; The hull was folded near the middle of the third and fourth chimneys, then the front hull dragged the stern and the stern sank vertically. Until 1985 and 1 September, the famous scientist Ballard found the wreckage of Titanic in the sea about 380 miles southeast of Newfoundland, which was the bow part of the first two chimneys and the stern part behind the fourth chimney, which initially proved the third theory. And this theory was later developed by James? 6? 1 Cameron directed the movie Titanic. At that time, everyone thought that the hull of the third chimney had been blown to pieces and would never be found. However, in August 2005, an archaeological team sponsored by the History Channel found this part of the hull 500 meters behind the wreckage at the stern. The wreckage is about 12 m by 27 m, and the red paint on the bottom of the ship is still clearly visible. This discovery subverts the "double cut theory" of the past 20 years. Scientists believe that the Titanic sank after breaking three sections. The sinking of Titanic greatly affected shipbuilding and radio and telegraph communication. 19131February 12 Therefore, the first international conference on the safety of life at sea was held in London, England. The treaty reached at the meeting contributed to the establishment and capital investment of the international iceberg inspection organization. The United States Coast Guard, a subsidiary of the organization, is still detecting and reporting icebergs that may threaten ships in the North Atlantic until today. The treaty also unanimously reached a new regulation: all manned ships must have enough lifeboats to carry all the people on board, and appropriate related training should be carried out. In addition, the radio communication should be open 24 hours a day, plus the secondary standby power supply, so that the distress signal will not be missed. The treaty also agreed that any rocket launched from a ship must be interpreted as a distress signal. Even after 1 century, several absurd stories about Titanic and its sinking still exist. One is that her rudder is too small, and a bigger rudder can avoid this disaster. A bigger rudder may have saved her, when the size of her rudder is not small for the size of her hull. In fact, according to today's regulations on ships, the size of the rudder of Titanic is still qualified. Another way of saying this is that there were not enough lifeboats on the Titanic. In fact, the number of her lifeboats complies with British law. The number of people stipulated by law is not based on the number of passengers, but on the tonnage of the ship. At that time, the number of lifeboats on all ships was far below the required number, and the purpose of lifeboats at that time was not to hold all passengers; They are only used to transfer passengers from sunken ships to another rescue ship. At that time, the international maritime safety rules were that the number of lifeboats on passenger ships was one-third of the total number of people on board, and the lifeboats on Titanic could carry half of the passengers. White Star Company is also very aggrieved that this extra configuration of "being highly responsible for passenger safety" has not attracted public attention. The sinking of the Titanic changed this life-saving strategy forever. After the sinking of the Titanic, new maritime safety regulations were formulated. The requirements for lifeboats are simple: they must be able to accommodate all the people on board. According to the new requirements, major shipping companies quickly carried out the transformation work. In fact, even if she can load more lifeboats to carry all the passengers, there may still be no guarantee that more people will be rescued, because when she sank, the crew had not had time to put down all the lifeboats! There is also a saying that the crew of the mechanical group stick to their posts until the end. A book published by 1988 also mentioned this point and made it immortal. In fact, the mechanical cabin was flooded at 1: 15AM. At the last moment of sinking, mechanics and furnace workers stood on the stern deck like hundreds of others, trapped in the ship, without any hope of being rescued. According to experts' analysis, people trapped at the stern imploded due to water pressure about ten minutes after the ship sank to the bottom of the sea, or were immediately crushed to death by seawater or hull, or suffocated to death.
