Chapter 728: Taoyuan Courtyard

……

Wang Zheng, who went south, did not go directly to the Lion City, but went to Bangkok, the capital of Siam. From Bangkok, it then turned to the Kamphaeng Mountains, 300 kilometers northeast of Bangkok.

After passing through several culverts and following the straight and flat road to the pass of a valley, eight neat regular script characters on the huge white marble archway were presented in front of Wang Zheng.

"Taoyuan Resort Villa!"

Bypassing the jade archway, the car quickly stopped in a square in the middle of the valley.

"Stop!"

The artificial intelligence of the main brain of the Kirin car slowly stopped according to the instructions, and after Wang Zheng pushed the door and walked down, he looked around.

"This valley is not small!"

"Originally, I wanted to find a round valley like the central valley of Liuba Taoyuan Mountain Villa, but after looking around, I couldn't find a suitable one, and finally chose this olive-shaped valley."

Wang Zheng nodded, looked at the front of him, which was also built by the mountain, a luxurious and magnificent Chinese-style building complex, and asked with a satisfied smile: "It looks good!" … Let's go and look elsewhere. ”

"Boss, let's settle down first and then go and enjoy the scenery. Uncle Zhong is already waiting for you in the back! Chen Qing hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Wang Zheng didn't insist.

After taking Chen Qing into the car, he went out of the central valley and went around to a slightly closed small valley in the mountains. At the bottom of the valley, a luxurious and not classical Chinese-style villa appeared in front of Wang Zheng's eyes. He understands that this place, like the Feixian Tower in the Welcome Valley of Taoyuan Mountain Villa in Hanzhong, is his main place of residence after coming to ASEAN.

"Young Master!"

When Wang Zheng got out of the car, Uncle Zhong, who came in advance through the space door, hurriedly greeted him.

"Hmmm! … Let's go, get in and talk! ”

After beckoning Uncle Zhong into the villa, which was no different from Feixian Tower, Wang Zheng simply glanced at the living room, and then sat down on the sofa.

"Uncle Zhong has seen the entire courtyard, right?"

"I've seen it! At present, the construction of 9 scenic spots, 7 natural scenic spots, and 2 cultural scenic spots have been completed, namely the "Museum" and the "Shipwreck Museum", and the annual tourist reception is 800,000. It has met the task requirements of the Shennong system for the Taoyuan Annex. ”

"That's good!" Wang Zheng nodded, "But when I came, I didn't see any tourists?" ”

"The construction of Taoyuan Villa was just completed last month, and the popularity of this meeting has not yet spread, and there are few tourists. But the young master can rest assured, the things that are enough to make the Taoyuan Villa a sensation all over the world have been prepared and can be exploded at any time. ”

Wang Zheng's eyes lit up, "So the repair is complete?" ”

"Yes."

"Let's go, take me to see it!"

"Young master, why don't you have lunch and then go! The kitchen is ready for you! ”

"No, we had already eaten on the way when we came from Bangkok." Wang Zheng straightened up and walked outside.

"Young master, you don't have to walk outside. The underground transportation system of the annex has also been completed. ”

"Oh, that's convenient, let's go!"

Greeting Uncle Zhong, after going straight down from the elevator equipped with the villa for nearly 20 meters, he came to an electric car parking spot, and then followed the spacious underground passage to the place where the sign of the 'Shipwreck Museum' was hung high.

Coming out of the elevator, Wang Zheng entered a huge mountainside space with a length of 350 meters, a width of 98 meters, and a height of nearly 50 meters. The entire space is supported by huge stone pillars with a diameter of nearly 3 meters, and the ground is paved with flat bluestone. Surrounded by soundproofing materials and surrounded by four rows of large white energy-saving lamps, nearly 30 ancient wooden warships of different shapes are unfolded in rows in this enclosed, brightly lit room.

"In the past few years, the Taoyuan salvage ship has salvaged no less than 200 shipwrecks from the sea. After careful restoration, we divided the shipwreck into four parts. Modern Battleship Museum, Modern Civil Shipwreck Museum, Ancient Battleship Museum, and Ancient Civil Shipwreck Museum. ”

Wang Zheng nodded, "This is the Ancient Battleship Pavilion, right?" ”

"Yes! A total of 25 ancient warships before the application of the steam engine are exhibited here. In addition, there are 13 more ships in Hall 2. Among them, this 'Trident' is the largest, and it is the treasure of the ancient warship hall. ”

Following the direction of Uncle Zhong's finger, Wang Zheng saw the entire venue, like the stars holding the moon, surrounded by the rest of the warships in the middle, with a length of about 60 meters, a width of more than 15 meters, a height of nearly 30 meters, a four-layer artillery deck, and a giant sail battleship that was obviously larger than the companions next to it.

"Didn't I remember the last salvage of the Sussex, which was also quite large?" After circling around the battleship, Wang Zheng said.

"The Sussex is a three-gun deck battleship, much smaller than the French flagship in the Battle of Trafalgar."

"This 'Trident' was the flagship of the combined French fleet in the Anglo-French Battle of Trafalgar in the early 19th century?" Wang Zheng was surprised.

Uncle Zhong nodded, "The shipwrecks at the site of the naval battle are dense, so you don't need to bother looking for them. So, this year we salvaged a lot of warships. However, many of them are badly damaged and have lost their value for repair, and this 'Trident' is the same, but because of its special status, we have retained it. ”

"I see!"

Passing through the 'Ancient Battleship Hall' is a magnificent hall with sculptures displayed on both sides and oil paintings on the walls, and the even larger 'Modern Battleship Hall' is across the hall. But compared to the dazzling array of the 'Ancient Battleship Pavilion', there are only three or two big cats and small cats in the 'Modern Battleship Pavilion'.

But Wang Zheng can also understand. Forget about the ancient warships, if he really fished up those big guys that sank in World War I and World War II and put them on display here, it is estimated that the country where they are located will explode.

Warships are an extension of a country's territory at sea, and it is a naked humiliation to allow one's own warships to be exhibited in other countries. Although Wang Zheng's current power is strong, he is not interested in this 'great thing in the world'.

"These two big guys are...?"

The rest of the destroyers, cruisers, and the former dreadnoughts, apparently with only two twin turrets, Wang Zheng didn't care much. But the two giants in the middle, the largest, with a length of nearly 160 meters and a width of 30 meters, paid more attention to him.

"This is the 'Combined Forces-class' battleship of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during World War I. These two ships are the 'United Forces' and the 'Prince Eugen', and we originally wanted to salvage the 'San István', which was torpedoed and sunk by the Italian Navy, but we have never been able to find its exact silent location. ”

Wang Zheng nodded, the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated after the First World War, and there was no need to worry about criticism.

"The rest are Austro-Hungarian warships?" Wang Zheng pointed to the front dreadnoughts and cruisers next to him.

"Not all, there is also a part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!"

Wang Zheng frowned, although the Ottomans disintegrated, Turkey is still there. But after thinking about it, I didn't say anything more. Turkey has inherited less than half of the Ottoman heritage. And its power is nowhere near as unscrupulous as that of the European powers.

Adjacent to the "Modern Battleship Museum" is the "Modern and Modern Civil Shipwreck Museum". Wang Zheng is most concerned about enjoying a huge pavilion with a length of nearly 350 meters, a width of 52 meters, and a height of nearly 43 meters, with a typical black and red Victorian livery and an elegant upper white building, which can be called a huge steel giant.

"Titanic!"

Wang Zheng said with infinite emotion and joy.

This giant ship, which is world-famous because of Cameron, has spent more than two years and cost $150 million since it was salvaged in 16 years. Finally the fix was completed last month!

"Young Master, as long as we make the news of this shipwreck public, I believe it will definitely cause a sensation in the world." Uncle Zhong said.

Wang Zheng nodded.

"If we make it public now, isn't it a little early. The reception facilities of Taoyuan Annex's hospital are too weak, and 50,000 people a month... Too little! ”

Like the main courtyard of Taoyuan Villa, Taoyuan Villa is located in a mountainous area, and there is no place to stay around, so if you want to accept more tourists, you must increase the number of tourists in the resort.

"Young Master, if you agree. You might as well put the time of the announcement to the beginning of '19! ”

"Why?"

"You forgot, this time the 'Taoyuan Courtyard' is open to the public, and the most important thing is not the 'Shipwreck Pavilion'!"

Looking at the meaningful Uncle Zhong, Wang Zheng's eyes quickly narrowed. Of course, he understands the purpose of this visit to ASEAN. Among them, Taoyuan Villa is one of the most important.

"Are you all ready?"

"Everything was ready. I'm just waiting for you to nod my head, young master! ”

"Don't be in a hurry. It's never too late to talk to Mesati in the evening! ”

"Yes!"

Uncle Zhong nodded.

"Let's go, go up and have a look! This is the famous Titanic! ”

Wang Zheng, who was quite interested, took Uncle Zhong, Chen Qing, Wang Gan, and Dian Wei to walk in through the portal opened at the waterline on the side of the ship, even if they officially entered the inside of the Titanic. Of course, there is nothing to see in an ordinary barnhouse. But the first-class cabin on the upper deck is as luxurious as it used to be in the movies.

The escalators on both sides are all of fine teak, and the position of the baffles is carved with relief, round carving and openwork, carved with exquisite ornamentation and sculpture. Re-carpeted carpets, restored walls and crystal chandeliers, and antique furniture on both sides make everything look luxurious and elegant.

Wang Zheng stepped down the luxurious revolving escalator from the first-class cabin to the big restaurant, and he couldn't help but think of the amazing scene of Ruth played by Kate Winslet walking down the stairs with the heart of the ocean under the watchful eye of everyone.
