As she drove out of O'Brien Anderson's factory, Alice certainly didn't know what was going on inside the house, and that a good life was unfolding for her as the Bugatti supercar moved forward, and the ghost had the energy to pay attention to the private life of such a small person. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shortly after driving across most of Los Angeles, the city center came into view. Although the CBD of Los Angeles is pitifully small compared to Manhattan, which can be called a forest of steel, the modernity that comes out of the bones is by no means what Wall Street in the South Island can have.

It's fair to say that the two cities are full of diametrically opposed temperaments, just as in Alice's distant hometown, many people like to compare Beijing and Shanghai back and forth, and one of the biggest bad tastes of Americans is to watch the self-praise and endless confrontation between New Yorkers and Los Angeles.

Which city is better really has to fit its own situation. Driving in the city, Alice naturally slowed down, the sunny California afternoon is so charming, and the high-intensity multi-ethnic integration is fully displayed throughout California. Located here, across the Pacific Ocean is an entire emerging market in Asia, and the ghost has to run to the east coast, which is often rainy and snowy in winter, and is full of Gothic flavor.

"Hey, Jack!"

Driving past the Chinatown archway, I happened to see the food stalls of the villagers open again, and Alice immediately stopped in front of him: "Have a pancake and fruit, and add more chili!"

The diligent young man smiled, "Okay, Alice, is it still the same?"

The girl in the convertible supercar nodded and said, "It's exactly the same~"

Jack, a master's student at the University of Southern California majoring in mechanical engineering, has a part-time job here for a fixed number of days a week. If you want to say that Europeans and Americans know the most about what kind of Chinese snacks, pancakes and fruits are definitely one of the best, and the popularization action of the majority of Chinese people for many years is really indispensable.

"Great sports car, Alice. ”

Jack expertly made the fruit while chatting with his old patron, "When you are old enough to get a driver's license, I know you can definitely buy a sports car." ”

Alice had a lollipop in her mouth: "Oh, are you so sure?Jack, beware of me telling my dad to let him deduct your salary, a crush or something~"

Jack laughed and turned over the pancakes: "Falling in love with a sixteen-year-old girl? Oh my God, I don't have that hobby." And Alice, it seems that your history father at UCLA can't deduct my salary?"

Alice was silent, how could she joke with a science and engineering boy?

"Oh yes, Alice. When the second side of the pancake was baked, Jack said, "The Los Angeles Times has been talking about the Alice Building lately, and you're really developed, a 528-meter-tall skyscraper!

"Well, this one~" Alice said with a smile: "It depends on how you calculate, the design height of the building will be different from the actual height after completion." Let's talk about the Willis Tower in Chicago, its building height is 442 meters, but if you add the messy power tower or something, it will be 545 meters~"

"Oh, I don't know. The young brother majoring in mechanical engineering said that he did not study architecture after all: "The Los Angeles Times will definitely hype up the new landmarks of its city, and there will definitely be a certain degree of exaggeration, but if you really talk about high-rise buildings, the World Trade Center Building, I remember ......"

"Four hundred and forty-one meters, there is no doubt about this, this is not as tall as mine" Alice pouted: "But to tell you Jack, my mother is going to revise the blueprint now, and we will build a building more than six hundred meters high." ”

The little brother's action of smearing the sauce stopped, and then it was easy to remember that he still had a job: "More than six or six hundred meters!?"

"Hmm~ I'm not in a hurry anyway, I'm building slowly~"

On a sunny California afternoon, the open-top supercar in front of the archway in Chinatown, the girl in sunglasses said so easily, but as an ordinary person, and an engineering man with super rational thinking, Jack was not calm at once.

"Slowly, slowly...... Belch...... I mean ......"

"There's no hurry, no one posted the ticket anyway, so I said slowly. ”

Jack easily found the conversation: "I mean, although I don't study architecture, if I really want to build a building that high, I must solve a lot of mechanical problems, right?"

"I've read some books on the history of ancient architecture, and it says that in the Middle Ages, a four-story tower was an amazing building, because until people used steel structures, if you wanted to build a tall building, the floor that was the foundation had to be high and thickened with walls, and ......," he says.

"Ya yes, I know the principles of architectural design, and the current blueprint of Alice Building is designed by me personally, thank you for your guidance~"

The fluttering words made Jack feel quite shocked again: "Oh my God, Alice, so you know not only about computers and writing novels, but also about architecture?"

After saying this, he immediately added: "It's just all-round in arts and sciences, you still cross so many fields!?"

The pancakes and fruits have been completed for the most part, but neither of the two chatting has focused on eating, and in front of the stall of the older small vendor, the rich girl said lightly: "The head is smart, and he learns everything quickly." So about changing the size again, you don't have to worry about me, those who can make it up, are you still afraid that 3.0 won't come out~"

"Oh...... In fact, I'm looking forward to the NT system right now. "Jack is really happy, how can he talk to Alice about ideas, but unfortunately their age gap is still too big, otherwise his chances may be greater?

I just don't know if the girl has a boyfriend now.

Of course, Alice didn't have the time to guess the little Jiujiu in his heart, but when she heard this, she was still surprised and took off her sunglasses: "Are you looking forward to the NT system? ”

"yes. In the bag of pancakes, Jack said as a matter of course: "In terms of mechanical engineering, the core topic at present is CNC machine tools, think about it, how many assembly lines and how many machine tools will there be in a large factory? If they can be controlled by a computer, wouldn't it be very convenient?"

It's a really good idea, although the implementation will be a little different. Alice didn't plan to talk to him more about these topics at this time, so she took the snack and waved her hand with a smile: "It's going to be very convenient." So bye bye Jack, had a great chat with you~"

"Oh, me too!"

The roaring motor of the supercar sounded immediately, and the graduate student of Southern California, who was still standing in front of his stall, looked at the girl's departing back and said to himself: "Wait until I finish talking before stepping on the accelerator, what a good girl." ”

Alice is also really hungry, after all, she spent a night of calories to deal with Microsoft mail last night, and at breakfast today, James is going to try vegetarian bacon again, how can this calorie be enough for anything?

Although there are not many pancakes and fruits, it is just that.

The supercar drove up the viaduct and it didn't take long for her to be deep into the center of Los Angeles, not far away, and after passing through one skyscraper after another, she easily saw the current construction site of her Alice Building.

It is really a big deep pit, covering an area of 120,000 square meters, it is not just to talk about it, put it in front of you, it is a behemoth with a side length equal to a 100-meter runway, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it occupies a stadium.

Of course, now it is just a super pit, and the seven underground floors are not a simple concept, and excavating it is a complex project. As seen with Alice across the viaduct, after each excavation to a certain depth, the workers had to check out the layers of steel pipe to make up the auxiliary mezzanine, and then constantly reinforce the surrounding earthen wall. Otherwise, not to mention how the excavator should go up and down freely, in case of a super landslide, there is really no place to cry - it is all buried in it.

“…… Huh?"

However, when Bugatti drove through this section, it was not the emerging Hollywood sign in the distance that caught Alice's eye again.

It's a Mazda sedan behind him.

"That bastard...... It's like when I was buying pancakes, I stopped at ...... Thirty-five meters away from the west side of the opposite road...... In front of that sushi restaurant, right?"

Alice is a person with a graphic memory, and she also has a computer-like selective reference to energy, so whenever necessary, any trivial matter can be seen again. This is the case now, and what I noticed more than half an hour ago, the subconscious mind has not yet reached the time of refrigeration, and at this time it feels that something is wrong, and of course the relevant memories are quickly called to the common folder.

"Well, interesting, you left Chinatown at the same time as me, but I didn't notice you until then, little one......"

The preliminary conclusion was immediate, and there was a high probability that the sedan was following her, given that she was now two or three miles away from Chinatown, which was still downtown. What kind of probability does it have to be that this car that stepped on the accelerator at the same time as himself could go all the way here?

Alice had just made a big turn on the bridge, and she followed suit!

If this is not tracking, what is the probability?

Not to mention, Alice can really figure it out.

So, theoretically, the sedan is "probably" following her, and in practice......

"What's the leg, let the old lady see where you released the little bird!"

How dare you follow her!?
