The starry sky on the sea is so beautiful!"
Jack Dawson lay on a deck chair, admiring the starry sky with a sigh.
Britain was now the world's hegemon, but also the world's top polluter!
London was known as the Fog City because of the high rate of coal usage, which caused the entire sky to be gray.
If there had been PM2.5 detection in this era, it is estimated that London's value would have exploded.
As a wandering artist, Jack had seen many beautiful landscapes, but he had never seen such a beautiful starry sky as tonight.
There was no way around it; despite all the bragging, he was actually just a penniless pauper, with no other advantage except for a face that was somewhat handsome.
The reason he fled from Europe to America this time, apart from harboring a dream of getting rich, was mainly because he had accumulated a lot of romantic debts here.
It was said that several Englishmen he had cuckolded were preparing to kill him, so Jack had no choice but to leave his hometown and flee.
Speaking of which, those Englishmen really didn't have any gentlemanly spirit.
Back when he was helping people repair appliances in France, even if the husband who was driven home bumped into him, he would at most gently remind him to remember to wear insulated gloves.
Who was like those Englishmen, who actually wanted to beat him to death.
If appliances are not used for a long time, various minor problems will occur.
He helped them repair them for free and didn't charge any fees, which was simply the legendary advent of the Holy Son!
Those guys didn't know how to be grateful, and they were even disrespectful to him, which was really speechless.
If he weren't on a cruise ship now, Jack would definitely try to get close to that girl, after all, based on his experience in repairing appliances, those naive and sweet girls from aristocratic families were the easiest to deceive.
The title of 'Little Silver Gun of Western Europe' was all blown out of his mouth!
It's just a pity that the girl looked like a first-class passenger, while he was just a third-class passenger.
The Titanic strictly adhered to the differential treatment between the various classes.
First-class passengers could go anywhere on the cruise ship at will, but third-class passengers could not even set foot on the second deck.
So unless that girl was brain-dead and ran down, they wouldn't even be able to say a word to each other.
"This starry sky is indeed not bad!"
Just as Jack was considering whether he should get up and go down to the deck to hook up with some Gypsy girl to get through this long journey, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Hello, I am Qingyuan Li, what is your name?" Looking at the slightly stunned male protagonist, Li Qingyuan greeted him with a smile.
After sorting out his thoughts in the cabin, he prepared to complete the task well, but when he was really ready to start, he found that he had no clue at all.
In the original plot, the Titanic sank because it hit an iceberg, and according to various scientific data analysis later, if it hadn't happened to damage the main structure of the ship when it hit the iceberg, then the ship might not have sunk.
So now his main tasks are two.
First, get the ship's construction drawings and find the structural points of the ship.
Second, see if there are any black market merchants on the ship and buy enough powerful explosives from them.
(The Titanic was a flight from England to the United States at that time, and there was no security check at that time, so it was absolutely reasonable for some black market merchants to carry guns and small-power explosives!)
The ship's construction drawings are easy to find, because this is the Titanic's maiden voyage, so its chief designer Thomas Andrews is also on the ship, and he definitely has the construction drawings in his hands.
As for explosives, there must also be black market merchants on the ship, just don't know how much stock they have!
However, although he has analyzed the task very clearly, it is not easy to complete these two points.
As the chief designer, Andrews is also a top talent famous throughout Europe, so he naturally lives in first class.
Even if he lives in second class, it is not easy to talk to him.
After all, even if he is willing to spend money to buy a first-class ticket with his identity, it is unlikely that those people will sell it to him.
Although the black market merchants only look at money and not people, if no one acts as an intermediary and he goes down to look for them blindly, he will definitely be at a loss.
So after thinking for half an afternoon, Li Qingyuan decided to find the male protagonist of this drama, that is, the scumbag named Jack Dawson in front of him.
"Jack Dawson, Qingyuan Li, are you from Qing country?" The scumbag Jack jumped up from the chair, showing off his superior waist and abdominal skills.
Those guests in first class and second class can point fingers at Li Qingyuan's appearance, but as a penniless poor boy, Jack is not in the mood or confidence to complain about an Oriental who looks like he is very rich.
Even if Orientals are currently inferior people in Europe, he is just a wandering artist who relies on cheating women out of money to make a living, who is qualified to look down on the other party!
Besides, it is said that the rich among the Orientals are very rich.
If he can squeeze some money out of the other party's pocket, maybe he will have the travel expenses to go to the United States.
"Jack, I think you are a very story-filled person!" After shaking hands with the other party, Li Qingyuan began his strategic plan.
According to the plot, in a while, the heroine Rose will rush down from first class because of some trivial matters, and then run to the stern of the ship to prepare to commit suicide.
Heaven knows what is in the mind of that white, rich, and beautiful woman.
A guy like her who was born superior to others actually wants to commit suicide, what do the broad masses of working people think?
Of course, the dumber the heroine's brain is, the more beneficial it will be to his actions later.
If he encounters a smart and capable one, Li Qingyuan does not have the absolute certainty to fool the other party.
However, before fooling that silly and sweet girl, he needs to get rid of the annoying guy in front of him.
"Of course, I can be said to be the most story-filled person in all of London, do you want to hear my story?" Hearing Li Qingyuan's praise of himself, Jack Dawson immediately became energetic.
Normally speaking, he is too lazy to chat with men, after all, with this free time, he can definitely rely on his face to flirt with two more innocent little girls or young women whose rooms urgently need repair because their husbands are away all year round.
But considering that the Oriental in front of him seems to be very rich, Jack decided to reluctantly chat with the other party a little.
"No need, but Jack, I have something I want to ask you." Of course, Li Qingyuan has nothing to chat with this scumbag, he just wants to get him to get lost.
"Jack, I am a businessman and want to buy some contraband, but because I am an Oriental, other people simply won't sell it to me, do you know where there is a black market?" As a scumbag, getting along well with others can be said to be Jack's survival rule, so he can definitely find the black market on the ship.
