Chapter 574: The Generous Queen of England
The Pardocia Islands belong to the British Indian Ocean Territory, the geographical location is in the north of the British Indian Ocean Territory, due south of the Maldives, it has a tropical climate, there are only two seasons in a year, the rainy season and the dry season, but because it is an island, the two seasons do not change much.
The archipelago is a medium-sized coral atoll archipelago with a total of 7 outcropping islands, 15 shoals and reefs connected to each other, forming a crescent-shaped lagoon in the middle, and a waterway in the northeast corner that communicates with the sea. The largest of the seven islands, Pardocia, is 0.64 square kilometers and is the only island in the archipelago with fresh water, while the largest of the remaining islands is only 0.07 square kilometers and the smallest is less than 0.003 square kilometers, so the entire archipelago is named after the main island.
Before being conferred the title of Gu Chen by the British royal family, this is an uninhabited archipelago, with blue skies, white sandy beaches, verdant tropical trees and crystal clear waters, forming a beautiful picture like a paradise on earth. In addition to this, many seabirds live on the island.
Since the beginning of last year, the construction team has been on the island to start construction, and it took up to a year to build a marina, two villas and other facilities, which were completed under the premise of preserving the island's original ecological environment. The marina is located on the west side of the largest island in the archipelago, Pardocia, and is made of reinforced concrete with an 'L' shaped harbor, which is not in the lagoon, and it stands to reason that it is much better to park the yacht in the lagoon to avoid the wind, but it will inevitably destroy the aquatic environment in the lagoon, and the marina is finally built outside.
Two villas, one large and one small. The large one is built on the island of Pardocia, on the edge of the lagoon, with a total area of 12,000 square meters. The area seems to be not small, but in fact it only occupies one-fiftieth of the island (0.64 square kilometers is equal to 640,000 square meters), and most of the rest of the area maintains the original ecological environment; the small one is built on the second largest island, which is named Xingchen Island by Gu Chen, covering an area of 500 square meters.
The villas on the island of Pardocia are in a very modern style, and Gu Chen participated in some of the designs, even if they are placed in the 21st century, they will not be outdated. The villas on Etoile Island are built in a tropical and classical style. In addition to several other islands, shoals. Even some buildings have been built on the reef, such as wooden bridges, wooden pavilions, and so on. The entire Pardocia archipelago has become a complete holiday destination.
After 12 days at sea, the Eclipse finally arrived on this beautiful island. When the yacht docked at the pier, all the servants and bodyguards left behind on the island gathered at the pier to greet them. Speaking of which, I have to talk about these servants and bodyguards.
After the construction was completed, Gu Chen selected five of the maids in the maple garden and sent them to the Pardocia Islands to maintain the island's facilities. Five female bodyguards were selected from among the bodyguards to accompany him to the island. Responsible for the security of the archipelago. Why not choose a male bodyguard? Gu Chen lives on his own, worried that life on the island will be lonely, and the male bodyguard will mess with the maid, in his opinion, it will be safer to choose a female bodyguard.
Of course, these maids and bodyguards are voluntary, as they are paid three times as much as others and rotate with others every two months. They then flew to the Maldives and from there they took a boat to the Pardocia Islands.
As for the food. Every other week, a boat from the Maldives brings food to them. It's fair to say that working in such a place is no different from a vacation, albeit for up to two months. But anyone who has been here will love it.
Gu Chen and the women, as well as the doctors, flight attendants, female bodyguards who accompanied the ship, plus four cooks boarded the dock, and the others were sorry that they could only stay on the yacht during his vacation, and they were not allowed to go to the island without his permission. In this regard, a group of male bodyguards naturally have no opinion, as special bodyguards, they still have this self-discipline and the consciousness of obeying orders. Although the crew did not have the high ideological consciousness of the bodyguards, they received a salary much higher than that of ordinary seafarers, and they had no reason to complain about Gu Chen's reasonable request.
"Wow, it's really beautiful here, sister, isn't it." Catherine was as happy as a bird flying out of a birdcage, and ran ahead of everyone with Anna, and then she ran back, took Gu Chen's hand and asked, "Daddy, are we all going to live here next?" ”
Gu Chen smiled slightly: "Yes, we are going to stay here for a few days, do you like it?" As he spoke, he looked up and looked around, as they walked on a cobblestone path that led from the pier to the villa, more than two hundred meters long. On both sides of the road are lush tropical trees, which are native to the island, and some of them can be clearly seen inhabited by seabirds.
"yes, I like it." Catherine nodded vigorously and ran away happily, and Zhao Yazhi next to her hurriedly said, "Run slower, don't wrestle." It's a pity that the two little girls are excited now, how can they hear such words, and they ran away after a while, and the two personal female bodyguards could only follow closely. To be honest, serving this kind of five or six-year-old little guy is the purest and most tiring at the same time.
"It's a really good place here, it seems that the Queen of England is not as stingy as she imagined, the scenery here is beautiful and pure, the air is also very fresh, and the air at sea is also very good before, but there is always a faint fishy smell, and this fishy smell is much smaller here."
Lizhi said it very aptly, the first impression here is that it is pure, it is natural, unpolluted purity, which makes people feel good at a glance, and the air is very clear, thanks to the woods that occupy two-thirds of the island.
To the end of the path, that is, into the scope of the villa, the villa did not build a wall, this 12,000 square meters of villa actually covers an area of only about 5,500 square meters, a total of two floors, the others are a variety of greening and entertainment facilities, the most conspicuous is the huge swimming pool on the left side of the villa, 100 meters long, 20 meters wide, the water inside is fresh water from deep underground.
Less than 40 meters in front of the villa is the lagoon, which is slightly irregular in the shape of an oval, more than 3,000 meters wide at its widest point, and the total area of the water area is several times larger than that of the island of Pardocia. The deepest point is 12 meters, located a little north of the center, because the water is large and deep enough, there are many marine life in the lake, but they are all small, remind that the largest will not exceed half a meter, mainly because of the installation of shark nets at the entrance of the lagoon, this shark net can prevent some large marine life in addition to sharks.
In addition, several lower shoals and reefs have been raised to prevent sharks from entering the lagoon during stormy times.
After finding their own rooms, the women couldn't wait to change into swimsuits and run to the beach, where there were more than a dozen square wooden parasols, each with two deck chairs and a small table. At this time, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, it was a good time to play on the beach, even Gu Chen changed into a pair of colorful beach pants, naked and sturdy upper body, and holding goggles and other equipment for diving (shallow sea diving) in his hands, all the way from Hong Kong, when he passed by some coral reefs, he wanted to dive into the sea several times, but he gave up because he was worried about sharks, and now he has come to his own territory, and finally he can no longer have such scruples.
The beach facing the lagoon is hundreds of meters long, all of which have been treated, garbage, glass shards and some sharp stones have been cleaned up, the whole beach looks like a white sand, and there is enough space for the women to move around, some lie on the deck chairs to leisurely watch the scenery, some are swimming in the sea, Monica and Zhao Meixuan let people set up a net on a relatively flat beach, play beach volleyball, sexy swimsuits, hot figures, plus running around like this, it is really pleasing to the eye.
Gu Chen lay on a recliner, enjoyed the massage of Fujiwara Norika, picked up the goggles and put them on, got up and walked down towards the lagoon, he did not wear a snorkel, with his current qigong cultivation, it is still very easy to hold his breath underwater for a few minutes, but it is inconvenient to carry a snorkel.
The sea water is really clear, it seems that there is no impurity at all, it can be seen far away in the water, and the bottom of the water is also very clean, and the dead wood, garbage and other things that have accumulated over the years have also been cleaned up during the construction period, except for corals, stones, and shells, it is white fine sand.
Occasionally, a few colorful fish swim by, and as the water gets deeper, you see more and more marine life, such as schools of small fish, unknown large fish hiding in the coral reef, starfish crawling slowly on the coral reef, and two sea turtles.
Compared to the surface of the sea, the underwater scenery has a different flavor, even more colorful, more evocative, and it also contains the fun of diving, which is a combination of appreciation and exercise, which is why there are so many diving enthusiasts in the world.
After diving in the sea for five or six minutes, Gu Chen began to return to the surface, and when he was about to reach the surface, he saw the bottom of a boat, and there were wooden sticks similar to oars sliding on both sides.
With a bang, his head jumped out of the water, mixed with two exclamations, he took off his goggles to see that it was Zhou Huimin and Li Zhi rowing, this is a two-pointed, middle-fat, bohemian-style wooden boat, powered by two wooden pulp.
Gu Chen's hand rested on the edge of the boat, and said with a smile, "The two beauties are in such a good mood to row, why don't you come down and swim with Xiaosheng together." ”
Li Zhi pursed her lips and smiled: "This girl doesn't have time to swim with you, a pervert." (To be continued......)
