Speaking of Titanic , most people will think of this classic movie, and they 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 an instant the yin and yang are separated. It is said that the movie comes from reality, and the encounter of the Titanic happened in reality, and people still regret this huge and luxurious cruise ship with a displacement of 46,000 tons.
In 1912, the Titanic made its debut. On the way to the Atlantic Ocean, it collided with an iceberg, causing the hull to rupture and eventually sink to the bottom of the sea. Of the 2,224 people on the cruise ship, most of them were killed, only 707 people were rescued, and only 333 bodies were recovered after salvage. It is said that it took two hours for the cruise ship to be completely swallowed by the sea, and a lot of things happened during this time, which was torture for everyone on the cruise ship. This disaster also shocked the world, and it was later made into a movie, which once again attracted attention.
It's been 110 years since the Titanic sank 3,700 meters below the sea. And this luxurious cruise ship has countless treasures on it, but no one has salvaged it for hundreds of years. Why is this? In this regard, scientists even bluntly said: you can't touch it.
In fact, when the cruise ship sank, Britain tried to salvage it. Due to the salvage technology at that time, even the wreck could not be found, but the scientists never gave up searching. After decades, the wreckage of the Titanic was finally discovered, but because the sea water was too deep and it sank for too long, everyone had no way to take it.
First, because the Titanic sank was in the Atlantic Ocean, and the depth of the sinking 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 crushed when it went down. Therefore, humans cannot reach the bottom of the sea. Even with the blessing of technology, it is difficult to carry out. If they are forcibly salvaged, it will cause damage to the Titanic, which will not be worth the loss.
Second, the material of the hull itself is metal. After being immersed in the seabed for so long, it was corroded by the sea water. Once salvaged, the remains of the cruise ship are likely to become slag, and the final salvage has no value for research. , it is meaningless. At the same time, because the wreckage has been immersed on the seabed for too long, I don’t know what the material on the wreckage is, and I can’t be sure whether it is harmful. If it is harmful, it will be very dangerous, so this is also one of the reasons why people are afraid to salvage .
In short, the salvage work of the Titanic requires high technology. Because it has been soaked for too long, it is fine in the water. Because of the ambient temperature, it will not split at once. Once the water comes out, it will be oxidized when it encounters oxygen , and the wreckage that has been salvaged hard will turn into ashes, and there will be nothing left. The loss is even greater, so it is still left in the sea, at least people know its exist.
