In the next few days, Qin Shiou concentrated on practicing the 15-kilometer long-distance swim, and the time he entered four hours when he practiced for the first time, and he was able to swim for three and a half hours when he was in the best condition.

Butler rushed to Japan with a large 900-pound tuna, which caused a sensation in Tokyo.

This year, the Japanese tuna market is sluggish, and more than 500 pounds are big fish, and more than 800 pounds are not seen much, and this 900-pound bluefin tuna almost confirmed its identity as the king of fish as soon as it appeared.

What excites the seafood merchants in Tokyo is not only the weight of the fish, but also the quality of the meat, the fat content of this fish has set a historical record, and the quality is higher than the big fish brought by Qin Shiou last year, and the auction price is expected to be only high.

Qin Shiou didn't pay much attention to this issue, and on March 10, he took his family and the little ones such as tigers, leopards, bears and wolves to Prince Edward Island to prepare for the competition.

The Farewell was speeding through the wind and waves, and arrived at the Northumberland Channel the day before the race.

When he arrived at the strait, it happened to be early in the morning, Qin Shiou stood on the deck and looked around, and first saw the famous Canadian Federal Bridge.

The Confederation Bridge is another great and glorious feat of Canada to challenge and conquer nature after the Pacific Railway, connecting Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, and is a giant sea-crossing bridge.

The bridge is long and slender, but the lines are extremely graceful and stretched, and to use a common Chinese phrase, it looks like a giant dragon hovering over the sea.

The sun is rising, and the sun is shining on the sea and the bridge. Add to the glamour.

Qin Shiou searched on his mobile phone, and the bridge was 12.9 kilometers long. It is currently the longest bridge in the world to cross ice-covered waters. Its completion and opening to traffic completely changed the isolation of Prince Edward Island for thousands of years. Widely regarded as the greatest Canadian project of the 20th century.

For Prince Edward Island, the Confederation Bridge is now a bridge of life, and before the bridge was built, the island was transported entirely by ferry and plane.

At that time, in order to overcome the transportation barrier with the Canadian mainland, the provincial government of Prince Edward Island proposed to the federal government in the 80s of the 20th century to build an undersea tunnel or a bridge across the sea.

This almost led to civil unrest in Prince Edward Island, as some residents feared that the completion of the cross-sea transport facility would seriously damage the island's "pristine ecology" and disrupt their peaceful way of life.

Others are in favour of the construction of an undersea tunnel or a bridge across the sea. to improve their "isolated" state of existence.

The two divergent views once dominated violent clashes with their supporters, but the provincial government suppressed them by force and decided to resolve the issue by means of an island-wide referendum, which was held on January 18, 1988.

The end result was 59.4% of the votes for the construction of the bridge, which began in 1993 with 5,000 labors and $1 billion in funds, and was completed and opened to traffic on May 31, 1997.

The choice of the Charity Race in the Northumberland Strait also has a meaning. The Federal Bridge is the spirit of the race, symbolizing the unyielding faith of the participants in the fight against poverty, disease and despair.

Shaq came out of the cab, and when he saw Qin Shiou looking at the bridge with amazement, he said, "BOSS." You'd better take a look at it, it will be a guide to your swim during the race, and if you find yourself getting farther away from the bridge. Then you have to adjust your swimming route. ”

Qin Shiou nodded, when the yacht passed under the bridge. He looked up, and the four flags fluttered in the sea breeze. They are the Canadian flag, the Prince Edward Island flag, the New Brunswick flag and the federal bridge flag.

Seeing that he had been watching the bridge intently, Winnie asked, "What are you looking at?" Is it the first time you've seen such a spectacular bridge? ”

Qin Shiou said: "No, I'm thinking about one thing, that is, should we imitate Prince Edward Island and build such a sea-crossing bridge when we say goodbye to the island?" ”

Winnie was stunned for a moment, then giggled, "What are you kidding?" With an area of 6,000 square kilometres, Prince Edward Island is ranked 104th in the world and 23rd in Canada. ”

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "The area of Farewell Island is also very large, it must be four or five hundred square kilometers, isn't it?" ”

Winnie carefully looked at his expression and said with a look of horror, "Are you serious?" ”

The Federal Bridge looks magnificent, but in fact it is only a little more than ten kilometers long. More than eighty kilometers! And the more than 10-kilometer federal bridge cost a billion in the last century, what about the more than 80-kilometer bridge?

The more Winnie thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she was about to persuade Qin Shiou to dispel this unrealistic idea, but Qin Shiou laughed and said, "Are you really serious?" I'm brain-dead, how can I want to build a bridge dozens of kilometers long? ”

Distance is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is value, the population density of Prince Edward Island is twenty-five people per square kilometer, which is the largest population density among Canadian provinces, what about farewell islands? On average, there are four or five people per square kilometer......

Qin Shiou came to Prince Edward Island in advance, not only to familiarize himself with the arena, but also to have fun here.

Prince Edward Island is known for its beautiful scenery, and when Canada introduced its provinces, it was explained that God had created a part of the earth in the rough Atlantic Ocean, and the island was created.

In the local Aboriginal Indian population, Prince Edward Island's name is "Abaiguwit", which means "cradle floating on the waves", which shows how beautiful it is.

In addition to its beautiful scenery, Prince Edward Island has another place that stands out from Canada, and that is its mild climate.

The warm waters of St. Lawrence Bay make the island's climate milder than that of mainland Canada, making up for the year-round humid climate.

Summers here are warm and humid, with temperatures generally staying in the 20s Celsius and peaking at over 35 degrees Celsius, which is already quite hot in Canada.

At this time, it is March, and the temperature is still relatively low, oscillating around minus four or five degrees Celsius. However, for Canadians who are accustomed to the cold, this temperature is enough to wear spring and autumn clothes.

The farewell docked at the port of Shanghai, and when Qin Shiou got off the boat, he could still see a few fishermen wearing cotton clothes on the dock, and after entering the city, this kind of dress was rare. Whether it is a girl or a guy, they all change into spring and autumn clothes, even if they are shivering from the cold wind occasionally, they don't care. (To be continued......)
