000107 Evening
Coming out of the captain's quarters, they went on to visit the bridge. The bridge has two floors, the outer layer has a huge window, a wide view, sitting in the captain's chair, through the window, looking at the graceful lines of the hull, and two huge turrets, and 6 powerful cannons, a kind of who does not obey the mind of the spontaneous arises, no wonder some people say "with a murder weapon, murderous intentions." ”
Of course, this layer of glass and the thin iron sheet outside will definitely not be able to withstand the enemy's shells, so this is just a place for everyone to stay in a peaceful environment, and when the real battle comes, everyone has to go to the armored headquarters in the back.
An armored door thicker than the door of the bank vault was open, and Xiao Yifei compared the thickness of the steel armor, which was the thickness of his hand and a half, that is, more than 40 centimeters thick armor to protect the small combat headquarters. The steering wheel that does not operate the ship direction from the outside is here. In addition to the light bulbs, only a few rays of light came in through the small gaps that pierced through the armor, which were the observation windows to observe the situation outside.
After a series of complex internal corridors, they came to the rear of the bridge, where there were some of Iowa's best modified products, such as the Phalanx defense system, Tomahawk** launch box, Harpoon missile launcher, infrared jamming launcher, etc., which were certainly not World War II things. But before it was a museum, these sensitive things were dismantled, and now they are just models.
Passing through some rudimentary soldier cabins and soldiers' canteens, we came to the aft deck, where there was also a huge turret with three huge 16-inch MK7 guns. If 9 Iowa's 9 main guns were fired at the same time on one side, the huge recoil would allow a battleship of about 50,000 tons to move more than 1 meter in the water.
The wide rear deck is where many people stop to take pictures, because this is the last place, and it's time to get off the boat after seeing it.
In the parking lot, several people took a group photo, and another tourist helped to take a group photo.
Xiao Yifei drove the car onto the 110 highway.
"Where is this going?"
Xiao Yifei ignored him, but said to the two ladies:
"Let's satisfy him this afternoon first, let him shop enough, and then he won't dare to talk nonsense when you shop."
Xu Shuyun applauded happily, and Xiao Ya also smiled without saying a word.
"Where the hell are you going?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Before reaching the main entrance, a huge passenger plane came into view.
"What's this, Boeing? This body type, 4 hairs again, old? ”
"This is the DC-8, something that competes with the Boeing 707, see the two air intakes under the nose, this is a sign."
Now that the parking lot is empty, Xiao Yifei is about to park, and Li Qinglin begins to cheer.
"Blackbird, Blackbird."
Bird toothbrush, Xiao Yifei, who was almost scared to the brakes, complained. Li Qinglin couldn't wait to get out of the car and run towards the plane.
This is not the SR-71 Blackbird, but the only A12B two-seater A12 in the world. Coming down from the parking lot, there is a road that passes under the belly of the A12, and the early model of this "Blackbird" is just above the person's head, and it seems that you can touch it closely.
There is also a popular science platform next to it, on which there are three metal blocks of the same volume, which are aluminum, titanium, and steel. It's about letting people feel their weight.
Aluminum is certainly the lightest, but the aircraft made of aluminum should not be too fast, and if the speed exceeds Mach 2.5, the heat generated by the friction between the air and the body will make the aircraft structure unbearable, so Mach 2.5 is called a thermal barrier. Therefore, the famous double 3 (speed of Mach 3, 30,000 meters ceiling) fighter MiG-25 was skillful, and instead of aluminum alloy, stainless steel was used.
The United States also planned a double 3 fighter, using titanium alloy, but the expensive cost of titanium alloy made the United States unbearable, so it was only used in a small number of reconnaissance planes like the Blackbird.
Originally, the A12 was either painted black or dark blue by the Blackbird, but the plane was decoated and placed here shiny throughout.
"Come on, I can tell you, do you know what's across the street from the California Science Center?"
"It's USC."
As soon as Li Qinglin heard this, he immediately remembered Xiao Yifei's description at the beginning.
Xiao Yifei stood at the door and asked Li Qinglin: "Do you go to the right to see IMAX or go to the left to see the exhibits?" ”
In the end, Xu Shuyun was considerate of her boyfriend and offered to accompany him to see the exhibits instead of going to see IMAX, and was teased by Xiao Yifei.
There are not many planes in the exhibition hall, and there is a T38 aircraft and an F20 fighter plane hanging from the head with a steel wire. In addition, there are three U.S. space programs, the Mercury program, which sent people into space; the Gemini program that stayed in space for a long time; The Apollo program for the moon landing. All three programs have physical objects on display here.
In addition, there is a small aquarium here, as well as an undersea glass tunnel, which surprises Xu Shuyun and Xiao Ya.
(If you have the conditions to go to Los Angeles, it is recommended to go to this place if you are interested, and now there is a space shuttle there, which is considered a complete product of the American space program.) )
The four of them were kicked out when the science center closed. At this time, the sky had begun to darken, and it was better to stay less in the city center, and it happened that everyone was also hungry, so Xiao Yifei drove to the Four Seasons Hotel near Beverly Hills, located north of Los Angeles.
First checkin, then go to the restaurant, and after a beautiful meal, then slowly go back to the car and twist the luggage. (The order is completely reversed.) )
When he arrived on the 16th floor, as soon as he got out of the elevator, Li Qinglin took a key card from Xiao Yifei's hand.
"What? This is for two ladies. ”
"Pretend, it's not like we don't know about the two of you."
Xiao Ya's face turned red. Xiao Yifei also said stiffly:
"What a mess, you and I live in one room, and the two ladies live in one room. The kit I specifically asked for, with two beds. ”
"You're on leave, anyway, I'm in the same room with my daughter-in-law, and you can do it yourself."
After speaking, he opened the door and pulled Xu Shuyun:
"Let's go, daughter-in-law."
Xu Shuyun said "Who is your daughter-in-law" and entered the door.
Xiao Yifei could only open another room and ask Xiao Ya to enter.
"Say, am I going to open another room?"
Xiao Yifei still felt a little guilty, after all, when he was in the United States and Europe, he and Shirley didn't just steal once or twice. It's just that he still can't figure out what he thinks of Xiao Ya. I feel a little guilty and feel that it's not a big deal; Some are reluctant and feel that it doesn't matter; Contradictions, contradictions.
Xiao Ya just looked at Xiao Yifei and didn't even put down the bag on her shoulder.
Xiao Yifei saw that the air was very solemn, and made another joke:
"Li Qinglin's pair of dog men and women must be hugged to bed now."
Xiao Ya still didn't speak. Xiao Yifei found that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he remedied:
"Have you slept well on the plane, you look tired, you go take a shower first."
After speaking, he took off the bag on Xiao Ya's shoulder and pushed her to the bathroom. Xiao Ya still didn't speak, but she didn't object either.
Seeing her enter the bathroom, Xiao Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and sat in the living room to watch TV. Today there are his favorite American dramas, the Naval Criminal Investigation Agency (NCIS) and the Naval Criminal Investigation Service: Los Angeles (NCIS: LA).
In NCIS, he thinks the white-haired Gibbs is handsome, the goth appraiser is funny, and of course his favorite is Catherine, who died at the end of the second season.
In addition, NCIS's new spin-off NCIS: LA, he is also chasing it, in this drama, his favorite thing to watch is the director, a short old American lady, don't look at this old lady is small, but her energy is not small, as soon as she speaks, the Secretary of the Navy has to give face. In addition, the biggest difference between LA and the main drama is that the things they use are more high-tech, unlike the old man Gibbs, who can't even play with a mobile phone. So much so that there is an episode in NCIS dedicated to washing oneself of low-tech.
Xiao Yifei has a long history of watching American dramas, and there are not many American dramas that he can watch. In the past, there were Stargate series, including SG1 and SGA, and now he is watching SGU every Friday, but he doesn't think it's as good as the previous series.
It wasn't 8 o'clock yet, and he waited boredly.
Before I knew it, the sound of the water stopped. Xiao Ya poked her head out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. Xiao Yifei smiled at her. She shrank back in embarrassment.
Xiao Yifei gritted his teeth, walked over and said with a smile:
"What's the matter, are you still embarrassed?"
"Do you like me or not?"
This is a serious problem.
"I like it, how can I not like it."
Xiao Yifei led Xiao Ya to the sofa.
"You watch TV for a while, and I'll take a shower."
Xiao Yi quickly took a shower, and came out just in time for NCIS to start playing. The two of them talked with each other, and NCIS ended up with NCIS Los Angeles.
Before he knew it, Xiao Ya got into his arms, and he gently patted Xiao Ya's shoulder with his hand. When he finished watching the TV series, he found that Xiao Ya had fallen asleep.
turned off the TV, he gently picked up Xiao Ya, put her on the bed in the bedroom, covered her with a quilt, touched her hair, smelled her smell, and involuntarily kissed her on the face.
A pair of arms wrapped around his neck, and his mouth was blocked by something soft and moist, so he couldn't control it anymore, and the two rolled together.
Xiao Yifei opened her eyes, and the fluttering eyelashes of the person next to the pillow betrayed her.
With a gentle kiss, Xiao Ya took the opportunity to wake up.
"How was last night?"
Xiao Ya hammered him.
"Hey, you want to be crooked, I'm asking if you slept well?"
It was hammered a few more times.
There was a knock at the door. Needless to say, the two of them also got up.
After breakfast, we officially started today's tour.
Xiao Ya and Xu Shuyun sat in the back seat, I don't know what Xu Shuyun said to tease Xiao Ya, the two ladies were fighting in the back. Xu Shuyun was most afraid of tickling, and she couldn't breathe with laughter after being clawed by Xiao Ya's little devil a few times. She grabbed Xiao Ya's hands with all her strength and shouted:
"Xiao Yifei, take care of your little duckling."
Xiao Yifei looked ahead without blinking:
"Does your Xiaolinzi dare to care about you?"
Li Qinglin quit.
"What's the matter with me, I'm a big man, and I'm still afraid of her?"
Xiao Yifei revealed him:
"Is it true?"
He immediately changed the subject:
"Where are you taking us today?"
"Hollywood, where else can I go."
