421.Grand Canyon (118+ monthly pass)
The name of the warehouse company is Grand Canyon, but Grand Canyon is not just a canyon, it is also the name of a dam, and the full name is Grand Canyon Dam. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Strictly speaking, the dam is located in Blake Canyon, not far from the town of Page, and it controls the flow of the Colorado River and generates electricity.
At the beginning of his studies, Li Du worked hard to explore some modern projects in the United States and Arizona, which could help him better understand the country and society.
As one of the most spectacular projects in modern America and one of the most macroscopic and complex structures in the world, the Glen Canyon Dam was naturally the focus of his attention at the time.
The life of this dam is legendary.
Since 100 years ago, local governments and Congress in the United States have considered it an unforgivable waste of resources to allow the Westward River to flow westward.
They believe that in addition to being used for agricultural irrigation and hydroelectric power, these abundant water resources can be introduced into lakes as gravitational tourist resources, and make these lakes have the function of regulating water volume.
Driven by this belief, the federal and state authorities in the United States, in particular, combined with the efforts of the private sector, have built more than 600 large and small dams in the barren western region of the United States over the past century.
Among the many dams, the Glen Canyon Dam, built on the Colorado River in Arizona and close to Utah, is a shining dam that connects the three places against the backdrop of Colorado's beautiful scenery.
Since ancient times, these three states have been relatively dry, and large amounts of land cannot be turned into fertile land due to lack of water, and the mission of the dam is to store water for this particularly arid part of the United States.
At 216 meters tall and 470 meters long at the top of the arch, the dam is like a giant with open arms and embraces a large canyon.
The car drove to the warehouse company, Li Du looked up at the door of the company, and said: "The auction is over, I have to go to Lake Powell and the dam area to have a look, this must be a spectacular project." ”
The gate of the Grand Canyon Warehouse Company takes the image of the main dam, a miniature version of the dam standing above the ground, and the fence extends from both ends of the dam to finally enclose the warehouse.
Hans said: "Go and see, I'll go too, maybe I won't see it in a few years." ”
That's why the life of the dams is legendary, and as Hans says, it is likely that they will not be visible in a few years, because the U.S. government is now going to tear them down.
This happens because the dam, while it supplies water to three states, has a fatal impact on the local flora and fauna.
The existence of the dam group not only disrupted the natural drought pattern that can maintain the ecological balance, but also caused countless salmon to die because they could not be humanized.
Beginning two years ago, the U.S. House of Representatives organized two hearing panels to investigate the matter, and the investigation was quickly completed, and the government began to dismantle the dams, and now some small dams have been demolished.
In this way, Hans began to babble about 'wasting taxpayers' money, 'Democrats corrupting Republicans', 'Why doesn't God drop lightning and kill these sons of bitches'......
Li Du took out a Marlboro cigarette, which was prepared for the security guard, who accepted the cigarette and would open the door and let them enter the warehouse for a turn.
That's how they've been entering the warehouse company for a long time, and of course, if the company is lax, they'll get in, but not this time.
The management of the Grand Canyon warehouse company is very strict, even if it is given a cigarette to mix in, it is not easy, the security guard looked at them and said, "Only one person can go in." ”
Hans reached over and put his hand on his shoulder and smiled: "Hey, man, we're not here to make trouble, we're treasure hunters, let's go in and get acquainted with the environment first." ”
"Only one person can go in." The security guard said coldly.
Hans began to agitate his three-inch tongue, but the security guards don't go in, you can say whatever you like, anyway, at most one person will go in.
Li Du said: "Okay, I'll go in." ”
The security guard put away his cigarette and opened the door to let him into the office.
The scale of this warehouse is very large, and from the information he obtained, it covers an area of more than 200 acres, and there are nearly 500 warehouses in total.
But when he went in, he found that there were no 500 warehouses, not even 100. It's just that the warehouses are very large, and many huge warehouses are neatly arranged on the ground, which is very spectacular.
Li Du walked inside, and in addition to seeing the warehouse, he also saw some bulletin boards.
He had been looking at the bulletin board for some years, and the patterns on it were vicissitudes and simple, so he released the little flying insect to use the ability to reverse time.
Then there were photos of the time, and in the beginning of the photo, there were always workers gathered in front of the billboard.
It dawned on him that the warehouse inside had been built by the dam engineering team for the construction of the dam, and that after the dam was built, it was sold to a merchant and became the current warehouse for tourists and local residents.
He then released the little flying worm, and when the little flying insect entered the warehouse, he was even more sure of this guess.
The warehouse is very large, and there are partitions in it, and one warehouse becomes four or five small warehouses, so that there are indeed four or five hundred warehouses here.
The first warehouse to be auctioned is No. 15, there are many warehouses to see today, and the task is arduous, Li Du has no energy to take a closer look, so he can only roughly scan it.
This is also the reason why he attaches great importance to the information provided by Zhang Kai, and he does not plan to check the warehouses between No. 51 and No. 100 for the time being, and will wait until tomorrow's auction to see it.
The bugs flew into Warehouse 15, there wasn't much inside, it was empty, just a mountain bike with no tires parked and some broken tents, rusty ovens and stuff.
After taking a look at it and finding nothing valuable, he immediately took out the little flying insect and entered the next warehouse.
The second warehouse is warehouse 21, which has a lot of things but no value, and there is some food stored in it, which is moldy and attracts a lot of insects and ants.
After looking at four warehouses in a row, all of them were worthless, and after entering the fifth warehouse, Li Du finally made a discovery.
Under a dusty car coat, a motorcycle was parked there.
This motorcycle has a very flamboyant and domineering appearance, like a monster.
In other words, it is a Warcraft, a Steel Warcraft.
This is not a description, the motorcycle that Li Du saw should be hand-forged by an enthusiast: the body is an unknown monster, the front of the car is the head of the beast, the handle is the horn, the tail is the tail of the beast, and the bracket is one of the feet of the monster!
He asked the little flying insect to look at the engine and gearbox, the car is a common item in warehouse auctions, but people will take away valuable parts such as the engine, leaving a useless empty shell.
