The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

There is no fixed number for hypocrites or real men in this world.

Captain Edward Smith was praised for letting women and children board the ship first, but he locked the door of the third-class cabin, leaving the poor people to die in it.

Designer Thomas Andrews arranged for everyone to board the ship, and at the last moment, he was also desperate.

Whether he arrived at the Forgotten Terrace or met Satan, I am afraid that he could only feel guilty for the various defects in the ship's design.

Zhao Chuanxin originally planned to cut the hull. It is said that the steel used in the Titanic exceeded that of an aircraft carrier.

But the scenes before the sinking of the ship made him give up this idea.

The ship had a serious leakage of electricity, and the electrician was electrocuted into charcoal.

The watertight compartments were squeezed by seawater, and the power of the explosion was comparable to that of a cannonball.

Ordinary people could be shattered in an instant.

Old Zhao did not intend to take the risk.

…

At 3:20 in the morning, the Carpathia of the Cunard Company saw a small boat full of people on the sea in the dawn light of the North Atlantic.

The crew had received the Titanic's distress radio and immediately understood that this was a survivor.

As they got closer, the crew saw the survivors on the lifeboat, with a faint glow on their sleeves.

They were very quiet, abnormally quiet.

Shouldn't they be overjoyed at this time for escaping death?

Why?

Because everyone was wrapped in thick blankets and wearing cotton hats, and there were actually three iron stoves on the ship, with red coal burning inside.

Everyone was holding a large bowl and eating noodles.

There were outboard motors hanging on both sides of the tail of the speedboat, and there was no need for people to push it, just steering it.

This was not the standard configuration of a simple wooden lifeboat.

This was the standard configuration given by Zhao Chuanxin to VIP customers.

When the people on the lifeboat were rescued on the Carpathia, the captain of the Carpathia, Arthur Luo Shiqiang, asked about the situation of the Titanic. Old Morgan repeated it to Zhao Chuanxin based on his own personal experience and told him again.

Arthur Luo Shiqiang wondered: "Why are you so calm? Aren't you afraid?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Chuanxin: "No."

During the voyage, they felt cold, so Zhao Chuanxin gave everyone a blanket and three stoves.

When they were tired, Zhao Chuanxin hung the outboard motor.

When the wind and waves were a little strong, Zhao Chuanxin jumped into the sea to push the lifeboat to help it stabilize.

When they were hungry, Zhao Chuanxin took out instant noodles to cook for them.

I boiled...Except that it was not as comfortable as the Titanic, it also had everything they wanted.

In this case, what else do you need a bicycle?

Before the Carpathia found the lifeboat, Zhao Chuanxin found the Carpathia.

He even had the right direction.

During the voyage, someone had a heart attack, and Zhao Chuanxin gave him an unheard-of medicine, and he got better immediately.

When a child caught a cold, Zhao Chuanxin gave him a special medicine, and his fever went down immediately.

It's true - as long as they buy Thomas Insurance and are obedient, they will not die in any situation.

What's there to be afraid of?

It is only a matter of time to be rescued.

Zhao Chuanxin gathered his hair and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I will accompany you to land safely before leaving."

The survivors who had been silent just now cheered when they heard this.

Arthur Luo Shiqiang was stunned.

It was as if the Carpathia was not the savior, and Zhao Chuanxin was the only savior in the vast ocean.

There was no way, these survivors were worried that they would hit an iceberg or something.

The Carpathia rescued all the survivors on the lifeboats in a row.

Some were on the lifeboats.

Some were people who fell into the water but were not dead yet.

Those who were not dead would have to peel off a layer of skin and suffer from illness after being soaked in the sea water for so long.

All the survivors added up to more than 800 people.

The captain circled the scene of the incident and ordered the ship to return to New York, USA after finding no survivors.

On the Carpathia cruise ship, Zhao Chuanxin sat in the bar with his legs crossed and smoked.

From time to time, people came to visit him and ask for his protection.

"Dear Mr. Zhao, I can give you money. I don't have much money on me, but once I arrive in New York, I will pay the insurance fee."

They were really scared.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a small notebook: "Come on, come on, register."

Your name, age, place of origin, and how much insurance premium you owe must be clearly recorded.

You must take the initiative to send it to Thomas Insurance Company afterwards.

The survivor took the notebook and looked at it. I was surprised to see that there was a form on it, printed.

In fact, it was done manually by Xingyue.

Among the people who came over, there was also Jasmine Brown.

Jasmine Brown said: "Mr. Zhao, I am doing charity. Are you interested?"

"Madam, I am killing people. Are you interested?"

"..."

At this time, several Chinese came to the bar.

As a result, they were stopped by the waiter at the door and were not allowed to enter.

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes.

Jasmine Brown is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and she can read people's expressions.

She hurriedly said a few words to the waiter and let the Chinese in.

She was right. If we delay any longer, the waiter who stopped the waiter would be in trouble.

"Mr. Zhao." Several people rubbed their hands and stood awkwardly by the side: "We have considered it and we don't have much money on us. We will give it all to you as a reward for saving our lives."

Zhao Chuanxin grinned and pushed their money back: "Are you cursing? If it was for money, I would not have saved you at all."

Several people laughed awkwardly.

Zhao Chuanxin told them: "If the Titanic was full of Chinese, Zhao would not let anyone die."

The eight Chinese were shocked.

Can this really be done?

In their hearts, a sense of pride, confidence and warmth suddenly emerged.

Zhao Chuanxin asked them to sit down and invited them to have a drink.

During the chat, we learned that although these people got on the lifeboat, they were later harassed by the white people.

There was a white man named Lowe who kept complaining that they had squeezed out other people's lives, and muttered that saving anyone was better than saving the Japanese.

Fang Lang was a Taishan man and an employee of a British shipping company. He had received rowing lifesaving training.

He told several compatriots how to row and how to exert force.

The eight people took over the rowing work, rowing fast and steady, with long physical strength.

At this time, Lowe muttered again: "If it were this kind of Japanese, I would be willing to save more."

In his words, he was full of condescension.

It seemed that it was your due to despise you, and it was your honor to praise you.

Fang Lang thought of Zhao Chuanxin, and only then did he have the confidence to speak coldly, telling Luo Wei in broken English: "We are Chinese, we were rescued by Zhao Chuanxin, we are on the boat, you don't need to row, understand?"

It is said that Luo Wei was so angry that his face turned red.

But he didn't dare to say anything.

Sacrificing Zhao Chuanxin has the power to shock the soul.

After hearing this story, Zhao Chuanxin laughed with them.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at the heads of several people and said, "The Qing Dynasty has perished. Once the ship docks, you will cut off your braids."

Fang Lang blinked and nodded happily, "All is up to Mr. Zhao."

Someone said, "This body and hair are given by parents..."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him, "The body and hair are given by parents, why do you shave half of the hair on your head?"

"Ah, this..."

Zhao Chuanxin said disdainfully, "If you can keep a full head of hair, I respect you as a man. I had short hair before the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. Did you dare to keep a full head of long hair at that time?"

At that time, the forehead could be shaved late, with a short hair in front and a braid in the back.

But you can't keep a full head of long hair and tie it up.

Otherwise, it will be suspected of anti-Qing and restoration of Ming.

Zhao Chuanxin flicked off the ash from his cigarette and said, "It's the same old saying. Either keep it all or cut it short. Apart from other reasons, the main reason you are discriminated against is the yin-yang hair style and braids. The Manchus are not your parents, so why do you keep them?"

Fang Lang immediately took out a pair of scissors from his body and cut off his braids with a click.

Zhao Chuanxin was interested: "So, whoever wants a haircut, go to the deck and I'll cut it for him."

Fang Lang said in surprise: "I'll go first."

It was a lot of work to break up the braids and wash the hair.

Coming to the deck, Zhao Chuanxin, in front of a group of foreigners, showed his arms and rolled up his sleeves to act as Tony's teacher despite the cold wind.

After cutting their hair, Zhao Chuanxin also took out hair oil to style them.

I blanched...

The foreigners on the ship were also tempted when they saw it: "Mr. Zhao, can you cut my hair?"

Zhao Chuanxin cut it quickly and well as if he was a god.

He said: "You can buy my insurance."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't cut blindly.

Xingyue was on the sunglasses, and he changed his hairstyle first. Then Zhao Chuanxin selected the best plan and copied it.

The journey was long, and it was just for fun.

Everyone also suggested taking a group photo.

Zhao Chuanxin refused to be in the photo because he was taking photos of them.

But the photos he took were very high-pixel and colorful. They were developed on the ship and distributed to everyone.

These photos became one of the important survivors' information later.

At night, Zhao Chuanxin took the time to teleport back to Kuitshalan and sorted out the various materials brought back from the ship.

Gold, silver, jewelry and money were hidden in the underground fortress.

The rest of the items, such as food, were distributed to the local residents of Kuitshalan, and the rest were sold.

Zhao Chuanxin had other arrangements for carpets, furniture and other items.

After several years of construction, the Peace College took shape.

Transportation in the desert is not easy, and there is a lack of decoration materials, but there are ready-made ones.

The next day, Zhao Chuanxin took out the "Old God Code" in the library.

He put himself in the situation. Only in this way could time not pass faster, and only in this way could he read the diary written by the fearless pioneer.

[Dudu married me. ]

A beast.

[The war of faith begins. The followers of the demon god repeatedly attack the Rune City, the Brilliant Oasis and the Pioneer Partner Haven. ]

[The fight between me and the new emperor was forced to stop. ]

[The closed Haishi virtual realm reopened its entrance and exit. The elders of the virtual realm left Haishi virtual realm with the Axiom Master, the Virtual Realm Striker and countless apprentices from the outer realm and began to plunder openly. ]

[Because of the demon virus infection, Haishi virtual realm was seriously injured. ]

[The ant-man, bird-man, beetle-man, snake-man and bee-man of the nine tribes in the Shadow Forest of Middle-earth became believers of the Sundered Land, and they wanted to open the entrance to the Sundered Land. ]

[The war in Middle-earth never stops. ]

[In the age of the gods dancing wildly, I don’t know whether the God of Time and Space can protect us believers and safely pass through the chaotic times. 】

Zhao Chuanxin thought: You may not believe it, but I, the God of Time and Space, am also in a chaotic era.

[Outer Realm Apprentice No. 1749 was my partner during my stay in the Sea City Void Realm. He brought me news from afar, saying that the elders of the Void Realm had set their sights on our pioneer partner Haven, and asked me to be careful. He also brought me some Divine Sense Tablets. Because he successfully promoted to the Void Realm Striker, he mastered the Burning Rune and was specifically responsible for burning the Divine Sense Tablets. These Divine Sense Tablets were stolen by him. ]

This is roughly the useful information.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the Divine Sense Tablets, a total of 36.

Two of them were the most valuable, namely the Doppelganger Rune based on the 57th Singularity Axiom, and the Food Rune.     The remaining 34 Divine Sense Tablets, 10 of which were equivalent to dictionaries, 1 taught how to burn content into the Divine Sense Tablets, and the remaining 24 were empty.

Zhao Chuanxin asked Xingyue to browse the three runes of doppelganger, food and how to instill content.

Xingyue copied two clones, the rune-eating consciousness tablets, and instilled the two runes of solidity and true vision that it had already mastered into four empty consciousness tablets.

Using the consciousness tablet to learn is much more efficient than reading.

The disadvantage is that it is easy to be damaged.

After reading for a few hours, the consciousness tablet will break.

Stayed on the ship until April 18th. When the Carpathia passed the Statue of Liberty, tens of thousands of people watched on the Butterworth Coast of Manhattan Island.

It was raining coldly in New York.

About 30,000 people stood in the rain and silently welcomed the survivors of the Titanic.

The sinking of the Titanic shocked the Western world.

On both sides of the Atlantic, many countries lowered their flags to half-mast.

Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany expressed condolences.

The United States expressed condolences.

King George V of England expressed condolences.

Countless newspaper reporters mixed in the crowd, waiting to interview the survivors.

They were eager to know everything that happened.

They wanted to interview the survivors, the captain and crew of the Carpathia, and Zhao Chuanxin.

When the Carpathia docked at Pier 54, Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully: "Everyone, we finally arrived safely on land, and our insurance policy is voided."

Everyone was silent, with mixed feelings.

You say Zhao Chuanxin is a good person, but Zhao Chuanxin didn't charge less.

You say he is a bad person, but he did kill a lot of people while rescuing people on the ship.

The worst was Joseph Ismay, the head of the White Star Line.

Zhao Chuanxin used a hammer to stick him to the deck.

It was miserable.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Chuanxin was indeed not a good person.

The ship docked at the pier, and old Morgan stretched out his hand: "Zhao, please go first."

Zhao Chuanxin was really rude and took the lead to get off the ship first.

The result was that reporters surrounded him all of a sudden.

Many reporters actually recognized Zhao Chuanxin.

"Mr. Zhao, it's really exciting to see you again."

"Mr. Zhao, some people say that you planned the sinking of the Titanic just for your insurance money. Is this true?"

Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring calmly.

Then... he cursed: "Fuck you, you idiot. I want to sink a ship. Do I need a conspiracy? I didn't tell you which ship I sank?"

"Ah this..."

Yes, it makes sense.

Which warship Zhao Chuanxin wants to sink, I will make sure you know it was him.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Get lost!"

After saying that, he pushed the crowd away, rushed into the crowd, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The reporters were stunned. Each body rotated 360 degrees to the left and 360 degrees to the right. Where was Zhao Chuanxin?

There was still remnant of secondhand smoke exhaled by Zhao Chuanxin in the air.

The reporters could only interview the second most famous person among the survivors - J.P. Morgan.

"Mr. Morgan, can you tell me if the sinking of the Titanic has anything to do with Zhao Chuanxin?"

Old Morgan had a heavy expression: "Before the Titanic hit the iceberg, Mr. Zhao had been with those of us who bought Thomas Insurance, so it had nothing to do with him. And with his wealth, do you think he would sink a ship for that little insurance money?"

At the beginning, Zhao Chuanxin's wealth was probably not much different from that of old Morgan.

But in the past few years, old Morgan has been developing smoothly and has surpassed him again.

But in any case, Zhao Chuanxin is wealthy.

People are like this. Sometimes they can clearly figure out the clues, but they still like conspiracy theories.

Why does this happen?

In the final analysis-conspiracy theories make simple-minded people feel that their minds are not simple.

When others say that the earth is round, he insists that it is flat.

Look, I am sober in the world, and you are all fools who are deceived.

When others discuss celestial bodies, he insists that the sky is a curtain and what they see is projection.

Look, I got the truth, and you are a bunch of idiots who can't see the truth.

There were only more than 30 people who bought insurance, and the money had already been spent and would not be refunded, even if there was no shipwreck.

Was it necessary for Zhao Chuanxin to stab the ship?

Even if he stabs the ship for insurance, would such a small amount of money be enough to make him go to great lengths?

This is easy to understand.

But many people still prefer to believe that the sinking of the Titanic was related to Zhao Chuanxin.

Even if old Morgan said so.

Even Frederick Fleet, the lookout of the Titanic, said: "The Titanic sank because it hit an iceberg. The telescope on the ship was locked in a cabinet, and I could only observe with my naked eyes. When I found the iceberg, it was too late."

This person later suffered from depression.

Eventually committed suicide.

Perhaps, he always believed that he must bear some responsibility for the sinking of the Titanic.

More than a thousand people died!

Many navigation experts felt that even if he had a telescope, it might not be of any use.

But once a person falls into alley thinking, even ten horses can't pull him back.

Even if Frederick Fleet said this, some people still think that the sinking of the ship is related to Zhao Chuanxin.

Even if subsequent survivors said they hit an iceberg, and even third-class passengers witnessed the milky white iceberg passing outside the cabin, some people still believed that it was related to Zhao Chuanxin.

Another group of people began to spread rumors that there were mummies brought from Egypt on the ship and that the ship was cursed and sank.

Whether there is a mummy or not, Zhao Chuanxin has the most say, haha...

Jasmine Brown was also interviewed.

The reporters respected her: "Ms. Brown, we heard that you tried your best to help people get on the lifeboat. You are also a rich man who is passionate about charity. I want to ask you, Captain Edward Smith is also a hero. He let women and children board the ship first. , he didn’t get on the lifeboat in the end, is this true?”

Jasmine Brown remembered Zhao Chuanxin’s words.

She struggled in her heart.

Edward Smith did not board the ship, leaving his place to others.

There is no doubt about it.

He also deserves recognition for letting women and children board the ship first.

However, he let the rich board the ship first, and many poor people had to wait until the end regardless of whether they had children or not. He even locked the door of the third class cabin at one time...

This is fucked up.

If Zhao Chuanxin hadn't revealed it, perhaps the world would never have known this.

She hesitated, her face changed.

In the end, she sighed and said truthfully: "I will explain things clearly in chronological order. After Captain Edward Smith learned that the Titanic would not survive, he immediately asked the crew to lock the third-class door outside. He did let the women and children in the first class board the ship first. In the end, it was Zhao Chuanxin who opened the door to the third class. Some children in the third class failed to board the lifeboat. Zhao Chuanxin asked Zhao Chuanxin to save their children. Chuan Xin got a kayak from somewhere, filled it with air, and rescued the remaining children..."

Reporters were in an uproar.

I'm... a good example of a hero, but he was directly overturned by Zhao Chuanxin.

The other people at the dock felt their scalps numb.

They came to a conclusion - people really have to be rich.

Otherwise, if you encounter trouble, even escape will only be ranked third level of escape priority.

Eight Chinese were also blamed.

They stood in the rain, stupidly, and their hair, which Zhao Chuanxin had carefully decorated, was messed up.

A reporter asked them: "Gentlemen, you were the first to board the lifeboat, but many people died at the bottom of the sea. Do you feel guilty in your heart?"

Several people were immediately confused by the question.

Others cast disdainful glances.

Fang Lang was very nervous, and even more nervous when being made things difficult for him. His mind went blank.

He couldn't figure it out, so many people survived, and they didn't make things difficult for them, so why did they make things difficult for a few of them?

But suddenly he remembered Zhao Chuanxin's unruly face, which sometimes showed a sinister expression.

His nervous heart suddenly calmed down.

My hands and feet no longer tremble.

Afraid of an egg?

Even if a few of his people were beaten to death by white people at the dock, Zhao Chuanxin would avenge them in the blink of an eye.

He was convinced.

Thinking about it this way, I no longer have any fear or nervousness at all.

He said coldly in broken English: "You mean, we poor people deserve to die, and we should leave more space for the rich, right? Which newspaper are you from? Everyone, listen to this reporter, you must be careful of this kind of people , He is the mouthpiece of the rich!"

Sure enough, the people on the dock originally looked at Fang Lang and others unkindly.

Now he casts his fierce gaze on the reporter who asked the question.

"What do you mean? Poor people deserve to die?"

"Are you a spokesman for the rich?"

The reporter was confused.

I Zhuo, this cunning Chinese.

Actually transferred the conflict?

Fang Lang smiled coldly: "Heroes are all rich people, why? Because the poor don't even have the chance to get ahead, and they can't be heroes even if they want to. If I told you that I saved three people who fell into the water, would you believe it? But that’s the truth. We rowed the lifeboat back and saved three more people. Why didn’t anyone call me a hero? "

The crowd was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Fang Lang with admiration.

The young man is awesome, the young man is great, the young man speaks out the aspirations of us lower class people.

At this time, several New York police officers stood out.

They said to Fang Lang and others: "You cannot go ashore, and you Chinese are not allowed to enter the country at will."

When Chinese people go out, there are a few words on their lips - peace brings wealth; take a step back and the world will be brighter; the people will not fight with the officials...

The same is true for Fang Lang and others.

You can also fight back when facing reporters.

But facing the New York police, they did not dare to speak and were at a loss.

Fang Lang said at a loss: "Sir, many of the survivors are foreigners. Why did they only drive us away?"

The policeman said coldly: "You are Chinese, right?"

"Yes."

"Chinese are not allowed to enter."

"..."

Fang Lang and others dared not speak out in anger.

They narrowly escaped death and finally made it ashore, only to be driven into the sea by the New York police?

The New Yorkers who had just spoken for Fang Lang also fell silent at this time.

What a spokesman for the poor.

What a hero who saved three people.

Wish yourself luck.

It looked like Fang Lang and his men were about to be driven away.

At this time, the crowd piled up on both sides like waves.

A tall man pushed left and right, and no one could stop him.

It was Zhao Chuanxin who had returned.

Zhao Chuanxin gathered his rain-soaked hair and said to Fang Lang cheerfully: "I was so busy pretending that I forgot about you guys."

Then, he looked at the New York police: "You guys have a very short memory!"
