Chapter 10 Remedies

Jack used his optimism, wit, and frankness to resolve Carl's accusations, and also won the favor of many people.

But these have little to do with Lu Bu. He has already talked about the Titanic's problem in detail. Andrew also thinks that taking some protective measures is a very good suggestion. It is necessary to at least slow down the ship's speed. He looked towards The ship's owner, Esme.

"Mr. Ismay, I think what my friend said is very clear. This ship has broken many records. There is no need to be too obsessed with speed. Slow down a little and reduce the ship's speed to twenty knots." I think that's enough. There are plenty of supplies on board, and arriving in New York two days late will not affect his greatness." Andrew looked at the owner of the ship, John Bruce Ismay, who was also a director of the White Star Company. This is the highest status existence.

"Mr. Andrew, you don't really believe what this oriental child says, do you?" Ismay said with dissatisfaction in his eyes: "This makes me have to re-evaluate your professionalism, a five-year-old oriental child If so, do you actually take it seriously?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly and looked up at the businessman named Ismay. For a moment, everyone felt a little depressed.

"Sorry, kid, if my words make you feel uncomfortable, I can apologize to you, but as the owner of this ship, I think I care about it more than you do. Don't worry, it will be fine." Ismay didn't want to admit it. He was frightened by the gaze of a child, and couldn't help but say some weak words. Then he seemed to feel that his face was shameless. He left the table and politely said to everyone: "Everyone, come with me to Hebei." Brandy?"

The men present stood up one after another. They were also not used to the moment of depression when Lu Bu lowered his face. At that moment, they felt that they had an inexplicable sense of humility in front of this child, which was unacceptable to the English nobles.

"Mr. Lu Bu, brandy may not be suitable for you." After Ismay finished speaking, he looked at Lu Bu and said politely.

Lu Bu finished his food, looked at the other person and nodded: "I won't give it away!"

At this moment, he seemed to be the owner here.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ismay, I have to accompany my friend today." Andrew said to Ismay reluctantly.

"It's okay." Ismay led a group of men to the smoking room.

Until here, Karl breathed a sigh of relief: "What a weird oriental kid."

"Yes, he helped us redefine gentlemanly behavior." Mr. Bengu sat down helplessly: "Even if you are dining with the Queen, there is no such strong sense of oppression. I bet that his background must be extraordinary. It is a pity that he is a Chinese."

On the other side, at the dining table, Andrew looked at Lu Bu helplessly: "I'm sorry, my friend, his heart has been occupied by the honor he is about to receive, and there is nothing I can do about it."

He is just a designer and cannot lead the ship, and Ismay's attitude explains everything. He wants the Titanic to be perfect, not only the largest and most luxurious, but also the fastest, even if he takes some risks No matter what.

"If my father and I were not on this ship, then whatever choice he makes has nothing to do with me, but now, something will happen if he does this." Lu Bu continued to eat the food. He ate not fast, but he did not stop.

"Maybe you are really too worried." Anderson said helplessly.

"I trust my intuition!" Lu Bu said calmly. His talent is god-level, and this kind of inexplicable ominous premonition will not appear out of thin air.

"What do you want?" Anderson asked curiously.

"It depends on how much authority you have." Lu Bu looked at Anderson and asked.

"Regular inspection and maintenance are my job." Anderson said that his purpose of being on board the ship is to prevent emergencies. In this regard, White Star Company is actually very good at it, and all the needed talents can be found here.

"I have made several assumptions. If you can't change those people's minds, would you mind doing some maintenance on the ship based on these assumptions?" Lu Bu asked: "Actually, if we can get off the ship halfway, it will avoid a lot of trouble."

"It's a pity that you missed the best time to get off the ship. We can go back to the room to discuss it seriously." Andrew smiled. He liked this feeling of discussing issues with like-minded people. His ideas about design seemed to have improved during the exchange with Lu Bu. .

"I think it would be more appropriate to go directly to the scene." Lu Bu suggested going directly to the places where he had marked several problems: "The first is the sealed cabin at the bottom of the ship. When the bottom of the ship is cracked, how can we delay the sinking of the ship as much as possible?"

"It would require five sealed chambers to go wrong at the same time."

right here!

Lu Bu followed Andrew all the way to the sealed cabin. As soon as he got close, he found that his ominous premonition had become extremely strong. Andrew thought it was the most unlikely place to go wrong.

"Have you seen the drawings I gave you?" Lu Bu asked, looking at Andrew.

Andrew nodded: "The design is great. The baffles designed in the sealed cabin can block water through these baffles even if the sealed cabin is damaged, preventing further penetration."

"How about we start from here?" Lu Bu asked.

"No problem, but to finish this, I'm afraid the ship has already arrived in New York Harbor." Andrew smiled.

"Just make as many as you can." Lu Bu nodded.

"Are you serious?" Andrew looked at Lu Bu in disbelief.

"Of course, if you believe me, how about giving me some workers and letting me direct them?" Lu Bu said affirmatively.

The problem will most likely appear here first.

"No problem, we can do this together. It can be regarded as an improvement. Your idea is great. It can increase the survival probability of the ship. It will go down in history!" Andrew was eager to try it. Even if Lu Bu didn't mention it, he would go back In the future, he will also improve the Titanic according to Lu Bu's methods. Since Lu Bu is willing to start construction now, there is no problem. He only needs to apply to the captain for protection.

In this matter, Ismay didn't stop him and agreed happily. In fact, he just didn't want to continue to see that oriental brat under his nose. His appearance would make him feel uncomfortable. It was best to stay until he got off the boat. Stop showing up in front of yourself.

Lu Bu said something to Lu Shuxian and went to the bottom of the boat. Seeing that the designer manager he had tried his best to make friends with was now chatting happily with his son, and even respected him because of it. Lu Shuxian accepted it with peace of mind. His father It's nothing to be ashamed of because of your expensiveness.

Over the next day or so, Lu Bu personally went into battle and finally completed the reconstruction of a sealed cabin that he felt most strongly about. The second sealed cabin was also equipped with a blocking plate. According to their design, the blocking plate would be finished with mortise and tenon joints. The structure is combined into a whole. After this large partition is completed, it needs to be carefully spliced ​​to make full use of the space.

"Take a rest, the craftsmen are all tired!" Andrew looked at Lu Bu who never stopped holding the hammer, and felt a little emotional that this child is really not like a mortal. Not only does he have wisdom that far exceeds that of ordinary people, but he also has power that ordinary people do not have: " Do you mind if I smoke a cigar? "

Lu Bu nodded. As long as the three sealed cabins are transformed, the problem will not be big.

The two came to a warehouse. Andrew threw a cigar to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu threw it back to him.

"This is your only flaw. Your age limits you from enjoying too much joy. For example..." Andrew wanted to make a more private joke, but suddenly a car not far away started to creak and shake.

Andrew was a little embarrassed by the excitement and joy in his suppressed voice.

"Like what?" Lu Bu lit a cigar for him and glanced at the car. Young people in the West really know how to play.

"Like cigars~" Andrew lowered his voice so as not to disturb the pair of wild mandarin ducks. As for what was going on in the car, he didn't want to tell Lu Bu, so as not to teach the children a bad lesson. Until this moment, he suddenly realized that the man he regarded as his best friend Lu Bu was only a five-year-old child. Andrew looked at Lu Bu in shock: "Are you interested in going to England with me? Your future is limitless. Maybe you will be the greatest oriental designer in the world!"

"No, these things are just interests for me." Lu Bu shook his head.

"Then what are you interested in?" Andrew became interested. What would such a talented young man be interested in? What is his ideal?

"Save my nation, let it be reborn from the flames of war and prosper!" Lu Bu looked slightly serious.

"What a great ideal!" Andrew was in awe. Although he was not a country, a child at such a young age had the heart to fight for the country and the nation. Such a person is worthy of respect no matter what.

"This is my business card and phone number. I went to the United States. If I find a suitable place, I think we can keep in touch." Andrew found his business card and handed it to Lu Bu.

"Of course." Lu Bu nodded and put the business card away solemnly.

While smoking a cigar beautifully, Andrew noticed that the shaking in the car had stopped, and said with some envy: "It's great to be young!"

There were nearly twenty minutes before and after this, which was probably the root cause of Andrew's envy.

Lu Bu glanced at Andrew suspiciously.

"You are still young and don't understand these things. They are coming out. I think we should avoid it to avoid...Ruth!?" Halfway through his words, Andrew looked at Ruth and Jack who got out of the car in stunned silence. They were disheveled.

"Mr. Andrew~" Ruth looked at the two people who shouldn't be here with some embarrassment. Her pretty face turned red. After a slight pause, she pulled the confused Jack and turned around and ran away.

"This..." Andrew didn't know how to evaluate this matter. After all, Ruth was about to get married.

"Isn't this kind of thing common here?" Lu Bu gave Andrew a strange look.

"You...you understand this?" Andrew wanted to explain, and then looked at Lu Bu in astonishment. Do you even understand this? !

"Let's go have dinner. I need to replenish some energy." Lu Bu didn't answer. What's so difficult about this kind of thing? Young people usually tend to be carried away by their emotions regardless of the consequences.

"They're finished." Andrew sighed.

Lu Bu nodded indifferently. This kind of thing has nothing to do with him. For him now, the most important thing is to eat something quickly...
