Chapter 1212: There is a problem with the temple

played in Santorini for three days, and Shi Lei also gave them the 20 million installments that should have been given to the Qian family during these three days.

Due to the additional 12 million independent funds in his hand, Shi Lei did not expect all the money given to Ding Yu to be paid with non-income investments, and directly paid with his own independent funds, which can be regarded as a complete completion of his promise to Ding Yu.

And the proportion of 30 million non-income investments in this quota cycle, Shi Lei decided to hand it over to Kong Fandong.

To complete the remaining 200 million yuan of investment within a year, it is obviously not enough to rely on the current amount of non-income investment, and Shi Lei must come up with his own independent funds.

Therefore, he naturally would not be stingy with taking out money from his own funds and handing it over to Ding Yu.

However, Shi Lei is not in a hurry to give these 30 million to Kong Fandong, he will wait until he goes back, anyway, the time is quite broad.

With the experience of the last quota cycle, Shi Lei felt that the 10 million collected consumption was easy to say, but it didn't seem so easy when it came to the end, so he decided to pay close attention to all kinds of collectibles from the beginning of this quota cycle, hoping to spend the 10 million as soon as possible.

On the evening of the third day in Santorini, Zhang Liangliang said that it was not much fun to just stay by the sea, and she suggested that since she had already arrived in Greece, she would go to Athens for a visit. He also said that Greece's economy is very poor now, and they can be regarded as supporting Greece's economic development by playing more places.

Shi Lei didn't care, so he waited for Sun Yiyi's opinion.

Originally, if there were only two people, of course Sun Yiyi would be willing to stay on Santorini Island with Shi Lei and not go anywhere. As long as she is with Shi Lei, let alone a picturesque place like Santorini where the sea breeze blows, even if she stays in a desert with no one person, she will not be bored.

But since there is already one more Zhang Liangliang, the sweet journey of the two is not so quiet after all, so it is better to take advantage of this holiday to play a few more places.

So Shi Lei temporarily called the charter company, but they said that they were temporary, I am afraid there is no way to do it, their planes have been chartered out, and the route application needs to be carried out at least during the daytime on weekdays, which is obviously inconvenient at this time.

However, for Shi Lei's request to change the return plane to depart from Athens and return to London, the charter company said that there was no problem.

Fortunately, there are still ships to take from Santorini, which is a little longer.

Asked about the hotel, the hotel said that from Santorini to Athens, there are three kinds of boats, divided into fast, medium and slow, the slowest and cheapest, but the time takes more than eight hours.

After discussing with Sun Yiyi and Zhang Liangliang, they generally felt that they had seen enough of the sea in the past few days, and there was no need to take a slow boat, so Shi Lei asked the hotel to help book a morning fast boat, and it would arrive at the port of Athens at about half past twelve.

The next day, the three of them set off for Athens.

After eating in Athens at noon, after checking in at the hotel, Shi Lei asked the hotel's concierge to rent a car, and the concierge also helped Shi Lei apply for a temporary driver's license in Greece, and the three of them went straight to the Greek temple.

The name of the Greek temple should actually be the Parthenon, which was built more than 400 years BC, which is nearly 2,500 years old.

Of course, it will not be a complete temple, but a museum-like place built on the basis of the remains of the original temple.

However, although the Parthenon has been baptized by wind and frost for more than 2,000 years, and has been devastated by the Crusaders, it is still quite well preserved.

This temple was originally built to worship the goddess Athena, and of course there will be a statue of the goddess Athena in the original temple.

The statue, rumored to be made of gold and ivory, is 12 meters high, with its head and limbs made of ivory, its armor made of pure gold, and its eyes set with precious stones. The manufacturing cost alone is already staggering.

However, the statue was taken by the emperor of the ancient Roman Empire, and its whereabouts have long been unknown, and now it is only a small imitation enshrined in the temple.

Even if it is an imitation, it completely follows the design of the original statue, but it is not so tall, and all parts are carved and made according to the original material.

Driving up the Acropolis Hill, you can see the Parthenon towering on the top of the hill all the way, even if only the pillars on the outside are left, and the interior has long been blown up by the Turks, you can still see the grandeur and majesty of the year.

The temple occupies a small area, only about three acres of land, and there is only a circle of pillars on the outside, and there is not much to see.

However, it is said that the original reliefs in the temple promoting Athena's deeds were stored in England, and there have always been rumors that Britain promised to return these reliefs, but it is not known when it will be.

I had half an hour, and I was done. The three of them went to the Temple of Erechhum again.

This temple is even less impressive, that is, look at the six large pillars of the famous Greek goddess.

Descending from the south side of the Acropolis Hill, there are the remains of the Temple of Zeus, which is much more than the previous two temples, because there are only a few pillars left.

Shi Lei was not particularly interested in these things, but Sun Yiyi and Zhang Liangliang seemed to be full of interest.

The three of them then rounded most of the Acropolis to the temple of Hephaestus, which is considered the best-preserved temple in Greek history, and stayed in it for the longest time.

Shi Lei just did his duty, accompanied Sun Yiyi and Zhang Liangliang, and looked at the two little girls very happy, Shi Lei kept smiling and following behind them with his hands behind his back.

However, as he walked, Shi Lei felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that the internal structure of this temple was a little out of place with the appearance of the temple.

There are college students as volunteer docents in the temple, Shi Lei leaned over and listened, although it involved a lot of Greek mythological terms, his English level seemed to be a little insufficient, but in general, he still understood the meaning of what the docent said.

It turned out that the temple was once converted into a church by a Byzantine architect, the inner nave was demolished, a new circular hall was built in the east, and the current vault was poured with concrete.

Shi Lei suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt that something was wrong with this temple, and the reason was here.

When I learned that the vault of the temple was actually made of concrete, and Shi Lei, who majored in architecture in college, couldn't help but be a little curious.

For this reason, Shi Lei specially asked the docent to understand, only to know that this temple was converted into a church in the seventh century, and this vault was also poured at that time.

This shows that the Greeks actually mastered the technology of concrete in the seventh century, which is a remarkable achievement.

In China, which is also an ancient civilization, in the seventh century, the construction technology obviously did not reach such a level. Moreover, China is also one of the four ancient civilizations, while ancient Greece did not have such a high degree of civilization.

Knowing this, Shi Lei couldn't help but be particularly interested in the vault of this building, he stood outside and watched for a long time, but he really couldn't see anything, so he returned to the hall and looked up at the vault.

I don't know what the reason is, Shi Lei always felt that this vault was a little weird, Sun Yiyi and Zhang Liangliang went to find a place to rest, but Shi Lei was still studying this vault.
