Because of the double praise of the Strauss family and Walton, Qin Shiou made a small limelight at the reception.

A group of celebrities didn't know where he came from, but looking at his and Winnie's temperament, they were still happy to get along, so Qin Shiou kept coming to communicate with him at the cocktail party.

In order to prevent Qin Shiou from finding someone with a common topic at the reception, Cole also invited Lang Lang to the dinner, Qin Shiou had the heart to chat with this famous pianist, but unfortunately he didn't have that leisure.

chatted until the end of the reception, and Qin Shiou took the Strauss family's extended Lincoln to a hotel called AKA.

From this point, it can be seen that the Strauss family is exquisite, in fact, the Hilton Hotel where the dinner is held can be used for accommodation, but they still changed it to Qin Shiou.

The reason for this, Cole explains, "I think aka is more suitable for you who like nature. ”

When he arrived at the hotel room, Qin Shiou understood why Cole said so.

The terrace is 100 square meters in size, with a 2-meter-wide bed in the middle, a lounge and dining table outside near the street, a fireplace in the back, and a precision telescope at the head of the bed.

It's no wonder Cole says that living in a place like this makes you feel closer to nature, Manhattan is a complete steel and concrete forest, but when you sleep here, you can look up at the endless starry sky, and you want to see clearly with a telescope.

Qin Shiou leaned on the edge of the terrace and looked out, and the night view of New York was in full view. He and Winnie sit at the dinner table, enjoying the night view of the Big Apple while drinking. Very pleasant.

After chatting for a while, Qin Shiou was a little tired, and went to bed. The sky is full of stars shining in the night sky, and this is the real star to accompany you to sleep.

The next day, when he went downstairs to eat, Qin Shiou looked at it, the price of this suite was $1999 per night, which was a bit expensive, but Qin Shiou felt that it was really worth the money.

"Go home, let's build a room like this in the villa." Qin Shiou said to Winnie.

Winnie rolled her eyes and said, "The villa can't be moved, so let's build a new house." ”

"Baby room?". Qin Shiou laughed.

Winnie looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, "If you want to have a child." I don't refuse. ”

Qin Shiou hurriedly changed the topic, he was not ready to be a father.

Coincidentally, James Cameron also stayed in this hotel, and the two sides met in the restaurant, Cameron called the assistant, who sent a book, he handed it to Qin Shiou, and said with a smile: "This is what someone gave me when I was filming "Titanic", and now I give it to you." ”

Qin Shiou thanked Cameron. Leave him his address and say that if he wants to go on vacation, he must come to the farewell island to play, and he will definitely not be disappointed.

With nothing to do on the plane, Qin Shiou began to read the book. The book is called "Unsinkable", the author is Danny Alan Butler, and it is all about the Titanic.

Flipping through the records of real deeds inside. Qin Shiou sighed with emotion in his heart.

Few people know that the more than 50 senior staff members of the Titanic survived except for the young second mate Letolle, who commanded the life-savings. The others died in their posts in order to save the weak.

After reading this book, Qin Shiou's heart felt a little depressed. But after arriving at Farewell Island and seeing the thriving fishing grounds, his mind suddenly became open again.

The Vail Construction Regiment entered the former Mr. Ross Fishing Ground and began planning to start construction of the airfield, where two huge rollers were at work, rumbling to level the ground.

Weir found Qin Shiou and handed over the planning plan to Qin Shiou to see, the construction period of the airport is three months, and it happens to be available in the spring of next year.

Qin Shiou said that there was no problem, just start work.

Weil said that after the road surface is flattened, it is paved with asphalt, and when the time comes, it will be enough to go to the asphalt lake and bring a batch of asphalt.

Qin Shiou asked curiously: "Isn't asphalt a chemical product?" How can there still be an asphalt lake? ”

Vail smiled: "Nature is wonderful, the asphalt lake is full of natural asphalt, as long as it is excavated for simple processing, you can use it, haven't you seen it?" It's just near Hudson Bay, weird place. ”

Qin Shiou had never seen a natural asphalt lake, he always thought that asphalt was the product of coking or petroleum distillation, and when Weir offered an invitation, he agreed.

Two days later, Vail chartered a thousand-ton cargo ship to go to Hudson Bay, and Qin Shiou followed.

He learned beforehand that there are really many natural asphalt lakes in the world, with the Caribbean coast and Indonesia being the most, especially the Biqi Lake on the southern coast of the Caribbean, which has the largest area.

The asphalt lake they were going to this time was called 'Guchidada Clay Lake', which is an Indian word meaning the gate to hell. The meaning of the clay lake is very simple, the Indians did not know what asphalt was, they thought it was a kind of clay, hence the name.

The lake is more than twenty hectares in size, and because it is far north, snow in winter obscures its true appearance, so that occasionally some wild beasts enter and are swallowed by asphalt.

The old Indians didn't know what was going on, and thought that they had disappeared because they had gone to hell, so they named them 'Gates to Hell'.

Now, the gates of hell have been used by humans as a great place to produce asphalt.

When he arrived at the location of Guqi Dada, Qin Shiou felt that this place was really magnificent, the lake was dark and shiny, like a huge and delicate black lacquerware basin inlaid on the earth.

Close to the North Pole and cold in winter, the surface of the asphalt lake is flat and dry in most places, not only for pedestrians, but also for driving, and many forklift dump trucks work on it.

However, in the middle of the lake is a very soft place, which is very dangerous, because there is a constant stream of asphalt gushing out, and if you accidentally sink down, you will be troublesome.

Canada has a vast territory and needs a lot of roads, and this asphalt lake is a great contribution to the construction of highways, Weir introduced to Qin Shiou, saying that under normal circumstances, this lake can produce 150 tons of asphalt a day.

Four or five kilometers away from the asphalt lake, there is a small town that is barren and depends on this asphalt lake for its food, and the towns' inhabitants are mainly workers in the asphalt lake factory, and tourist services are also provided.

Qin Shiou and Wei Er booked a hotel, and after they went, the boss looked at him with a cheap smile and asked, "Is Mr. here for a tour?" Do I need special services? ”

Hearing this, Qin Shiou laughed, shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't need to, I'm here to buy asphalt, not to have fun." ”

Weir explained to him: "The special service that the boss said is an asphalt bath, Qin you must have thought too much." ”

Qin Shiou knew that he had done oolong, so he quickly remedied it, and said, "OK, OK, I need special services." (To be continued......)
