Speaking of Titanic , most people will think of this classic movie, and are deeply moved by the love between Jack and Ruth in the stills, and also feel sorry for their experience. The two have just fallen in love, but in a moment, the yin and yang are separated. It is said that the movie comes from reality, and the experience of the Titanic happened really, and people still feel sorry for this giant and luxurious cruise ship with a displacement of 46,000 tons.
1912, Titanic made its debut. On its way to the Atlantic Ocean, it collided with an iceberg, causing the hull to rupture and eventually sank the seabed. There were 2,224 people on the cruise ship, most of which were killed, only 707 were rescued, and only 333 bodies were recovered after salvage. It is said that it took two hours to swallow all the cruise ships by sea water. A lot of things happened during this period, and torture everyone on the cruise ship. This disaster also shocked the world, and was later made into a movie, which once again attracted attention.
Until now, 110 years have passed, and the Titanic has sank 3,700 meters below the sea for a long time. And this luxurious cruise ship has countless treasures on it, but no one has salvaged it for a hundred years. Why is this? In this regard, scientists even bluntly said: You can't touch it even if you touch it.
In fact, when the cruise ship was sunk, the UK tried to salvage. Due to the salvage technology at that time, even the wreckage could not be found. However, scientists have never given up searching. After spending a lot of manpower and material resources, after decades, the wreckage of the Titanic was finally discovered. However, because the sea water was too deep and the sinking time was too long, everyone had no choice.
First, because the Titanic sinking was the Atlantic Ocean, and the sinking depth was at least 3,700 meters, the sea pressure was very high, and the human body could not bear it, and it was likely to be flattened if it went down. Therefore, humans cannot reach the bottom of the sea, and even with the blessing of technology, it is difficult to carry out. If forced salvage is carried out, it will cause damage to the Titanic and it will not be worth the loss.
Second, the material of the hull itself is metal. After soaking on the seabed for so long, it has been corroded by seawater. Once salvaged, the remains of the cruise ship may turn into fragments. Then the final salvaged will have no research value and no meaning. At the same time, because the wreckage has been soaked in the seabed for too long, I don’t know what the substance attached to the wreckage is, nor can I determine whether it is harmful. If it is harmful, it will be very dangerous, so this is also one of the reasons why people dare not salvage it.
In short, the scientific and technological requirements for the Titanic salvage work are very high. Because it has been soaked for too long, it is okay in the water, because it will not split suddenly because of the ambient temperature. Once the water is out, it will be oxidized when it encounters oxygen . At that time, the wreckage that has been salvaged with hard work will turn into ashes and there will be nothing left. This loss is even greater, so it will continue to be left in the sea, at least people know its existence.
