Chapter 443: The Statue of Liberty

The gemstone area is not very large, and it is said that it is small because it is very small compared to the entire museum area, and it is said that it is large, and these gems can be built separately compared to some small museums. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to incomplete statistics, there are tens of thousands of gemstone types in the world, and there are thousands of gemstone types in Sri Lanka alone.

As the largest and most authoritative natural history museum in the world, the American Museum of Natural History has a collection of nearly 10,000 kinds of gemstones.

But the good news is that these gems will be rotated once a month, except for a few fixed world-famous gemstones, the rest of the gems will be taken from the display case at the end of each month and replaced with new exhibits, and the museum's official announcement will also be updated to tell visitors what will be in this exhibition.

When Lin Qing was making preparations in the early stage, he took a special look at the announcement of the museum, fortunately, he found that the Blazing Heart he needed was on top of the announcement of the exhibition in November, which means that among this group of gems, Lin Qing's target was among them.

But apparently God dozed off today, or on American soil, God's good fortune did not befall Lin Qing, a Chinese, Lin Qing walked for a long time, the time has gone to more than four o'clock in the afternoon, still did not find the ruby he needed, but he listened to a lot of fairy tales, and knew that every gem in the original museum can be related to mythology.

This has to admire the brains of foreigners, as long as the slightly famous stones, they can always find the source from mythological stories, ancient Greek mythology, Norse mythology, the Bible, etc., and even fairy tales can be their source of inspiration, about the imagination, white people seem to be born with a lot of brains.

"Honey, let's go." After a few hours of shopping, Ivanka was a little relieved, although women are born with no resistance to shiny things, but admiring these gems, but not being able to buy them, it is indeed an inhumane torture for Ivanka, from childhood to adulthood, as long as it is something she likes, no matter how expensive, she will buy it.

Obviously, money is not everything, Ivanka also knows that the gems here are not money can buy, the excitement at first, then turned into appreciation, and finally turned into boredom, after all, gems look at the gems all afternoon, always feel a little visual fatigue.

Lin Qing nodded, he didn't continue to look at it, he had already seen a third of the gem museum, he could continue to come over tomorrow to see, there were still two days of free time, it was enough for him, and he didn't have a good way to break into the museum now, even if he found the location of the gem, it was not easy to start, he needed a certain amount of time to study how to break through this series of complex security systems.

"Let's go!" After Ivanka saw Lin Qing agree, she immediately showed a happy smile on her face, took Lin Qing's arm and began to walk towards the gate of the museum, at this time, Lin Qing saw a very familiar girl walking in front of her.

"Is that her, she's here too?" Lin Qinghe passed by, looked at Bailu with a slight difference, no need to identify it carefully, Lin Qing had already seen Bailu's identity at a glance, although she made a small disguise, but Lin Qing's memory of her was very profound, so even if Bailu was disguised, Lin Qing could still feel a sense of familiarity, not to mention that Bailu's disguise was very simple, and she could only deceive some people who were not familiar with her, if people who were familiar with her recognized it in minutes.

"What are we going to do next?" Ivan Kara walked out of the museum with Lin Qing and looked at Lin Qing curiously.

"Let's go see the Statue of Liberty, after all, we haven't seen it, and we're not in New York, are we?" Lin Qing thought about it, but didn't have a very good proposal, and finally decided to go and see the Statue of Liberty, saying that this thing seems to be a cultural relic.

The Museum of Natural History is still some distance away from the Statue of Liberty, and now it is the rush hour after work, the vehicle has just taken two steps on the street, and it has been blocked, Lin Qing and Ivanka can only sit in the car and talk about love, Monica has already taken the first step to say goodbye after coming out of the museum, obviously going to the Statue of Liberty is more suitable for couples than three-person tours.

The Statue of Liberty in the United States, the landmark building in the United States, it can be said that you can not know what the White House is, you can not know the Empire State Building in New York, you can not know Hollywood, but once the United States is mentioned, people naturally think of the Statue of Liberty.
