Golden Fishery

Three hundred and seventy-eight. Asphalt Lake

Because of the double praise from the Strauss family and Walton, Qin Shiou made a small splash at the reception.

A group of celebrities didn't know where he came from, but judging by the temperament of him and Wei Ni, they were still willing to make friends, so people from Qin Shiou kept coming to him to communicate with him at the reception.

In order to prevent Qin Shiou from finding someone with common topics at the reception, Cole invited Lang Lang to the dinner. Qin Shiou wanted to chat with this famous pianist, but unfortunately he didn't have time.

Chatting until the end of the reception, Qin Shiou took the Strauss family's extended Lincoln to a hotel called aka.

From this point, it can be seen that the Strauss family is very particular. In fact, the Hilton Hotel where the dinner was held can be used for accommodation, but they still changed it for Qin Shiou.

The reason for this, Cole explained: "I think, for you who like nature, aka is more suitable."

When he got to the hotel room, Qin Shiou understood why Cole said that.

The suite is located on the top floor of the 17th floor of the hotel. It is divided into indoor and outdoor parts. What is surprising is that, except for the bathroom and living room, the bedroom and dining room are on the outdoor terrace.

The terrace has an area of ​​100 square meters, with a 2-meter-wide bed in the middle, a leisure bar and dining table on the outside near the street, and a fireplace on the inside. precision telescope.

No wonder Cole said that living in such a place can feel closer to nature. Manhattan is a complete forest of steel and concrete, but when you sleep here, you can see the endless starry sky when you look up. If you want to see clearly, you need a telescope.

Qin Shiou lay on the edge of the terrace and looked out. He had a panoramic view of the night view of New York. He and Wei Ni sat at the dining table. It is very pleasant to enjoy the night view of the Big Apple City while drinking.

Tired after chatting for a while, Qin Shiou went to bed, and the sky was full of stars shining in the night sky. These are real stars to accompany you to sleep.

When he went downstairs to eat the next day, Qin Shiou took a look. The price of this suite was 1999 US dollars per night. It's a bit expensive, but Qin Shiou thinks it's really worth the money.

"Let's build a room like this in the villa when we go home." Qin Shiou said to Wei Ni.

Winnie rolled her beautiful eyes. Said: "The villa can't be moved, let's build a new house."

"Baby room?" Qin Shiou teased.

Winnie looked at him with bright eyes,

Said: "If you want a child, I will not refuse."

Qin Shiou quickly changed the subject. He wasn't ready to be a father yet.

Coincidentally, James Cameron also lived in this hotel. The two met in the restaurant. Cameron called his assistant, and the latter sent a book. He handed it to Qin Shiou and said with a smile: "This is the book I shot at the time. Someone gave me Titanic, and now I give it to you."

Qin Shiou thanked Cameron and left him his address. Said that if he wants to go on vacation, he must come to Farewell Island to play, and he will definitely not be disappointed.

There was nothing to do on the plane, so Qin Shiou began to read this book. The title of the book is "Unsinkable", the author is Danny Allan Butler, and it's all about the things on the Titanic.

Flipping through the records of real deeds inside, Qin Shiou was deeply moved.

Few people know that the more than 50 senior staff members of the Titanic died at their posts in order to save the weak, except for the young second officer Lightoller who directed the rescue and survived.

Read this book. Qin Shiou felt a little depressed in his heart, but after arriving at the farewell island. Seeing the thriving fishing ground, his heart suddenly became bright again.

The Weir Construction Group entered the former fishing ground of Mr. Ross and began to plan and start the construction of the airport. Two huge road rollers were working, rumbling and leveling the ground.

Weir found Qin Shiou and gave Qin Shiou the planning map. The construction period of the airport is three months, which happens to be available in the spring of next year.

Qin Shiou said no problem, just start working.

Weir said that after the road surface is flattened, asphalt will be laid, and then a batch of asphalt will be transported to the asphalt lake.

Qin Shiou asked curiously: "Isn't asphalt a chemical product? Why is there an asphalt lake?"

Weir laughed and said: "Nature is very wonderful. The asphalt lake is full of natural asphalt. It can be used as long as it is dug out for simple processing. Haven't you seen it? It's near Hudson Bay, a very strange place .”

Qin Shiou had never seen a natural asphalt lake. He always thought that asphalt was the product of coking or petroleum distillation. Weir agreed to the invitation.

Two days later, Weir rented a thousand-ton cargo ship to go to Hudson Bay, and Qin Shiou followed.

He found out beforehand that there are quite a few natural asphalt lakes in the world, and the Caribbean coast and Indonesia have the most, especially Lake Peach on the southern coast of the Caribbean Sea, which has the largest area.

The asphalt lake they are going to this time is called 'Guchidada Clay Lake'. Guqidada is an Indian word that means the gate to hell. The meaning of clay lake is very simple. The Indians didn't know what asphalt was before. They thought it was a kind of clay, so they gave it such a name.

The lake covers an area of ​​more than 20 hectares. Because it is located in the north, snow in winter will cover up its true appearance, so occasionally some wild beasts will enter and be swallowed by the asphalt.

The Indians in the past didn't know what was going on, and thought that they had gone to hell when they disappeared, so they named it "the gate to hell".

Now, this gate of hell has been used by humans and has become a good place to produce asphalt.

Arriving at the location of Guqidada, Qin Shiou felt that the place was really spectacular at first glance. The lake was dark and shiny, like a huge and exquisite black lacquer basin inlaid on the ground.

Close to the North Pole and cold in winter, the surface of Asphalt Lake is flat and dry in most places. Not only can pedestrians but also cars be able to drive on it. Many forklifts and dump trucks are constantly working on it.

However, there is a very soft place in the middle of the lake, which is very dangerous, because there is a steady stream of asphalt pouring out, and it will be troublesome if it sinks accidentally.

Canada has a vast territory and needs a lot of roads. This asphalt lake has made great contributions in road construction. Weil introduced to Qin Shiou that under normal circumstances, this lake can produce 150 tons of asphalt a day.

There is a small town four or five kilometers away from the asphalt lake, and the surroundings are barren. The town relies on this asphalt lake for food. The residents of the town are mainly workers in the asphalt lake factory, and it also provides tourism services.

Qin Shiou and Weir booked a hotel, and after they went, the boss looked at him with a mean smile and asked, "Are you here for tourism, sir? Do you need any special services?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shiou laughed, shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't need it. I'm here to buy asphalt, not for fun."

Weir explained to him: "The special service the boss mentioned is the asphalt bath. Qin, you must be thinking too much."

Only then did Qin Shiou realize that he had made an oolong, so he quickly made amends and said, "OK, ok, I need special services." (To be continued)
