Chapter 337: Secret Realm
Even though King Tang occupied the Forbidden City, the supreme city in the world, he, the poorest and most powerful person, could not get it even if he wanted to sneak around in Beijing and be a dashing alley swan. You can imagine how the people on the street would react when his old man appeared on Wangfujing Street.
Alas, sometimes it's boring. This period of time has caused irreparable large-scale humanitarian disasters, whether it is Munich, London, Milan, San Francisco, Stockholm, Rio de Janeiro, his prestige has been irreparably damaged.
Now, he's bent on finding a place where no one can rest for a while.
The epic film in India tells the story of a young man who travels north to the Karakoram Mountains, formed by the collision of the Indian subcontinent with Eurasia, a barren mountain range with inaccessible wonders, flora and fauna.
This mountain range with many peaks has 4 peaks above 8,000 meters and 15 peaks above 7,500 meters. When Downing came to this world, he arrived in the Himalayas, known as the roof of the world, and for some reason, after being in a high position of power, he suddenly missed the life when he was penniless. Of course, it is impossible to go back to life, but it is also a great joy to see the high-altitude scenery at that time.
Also in the Karakoram Mountains, the landscape on the Indian side (now Pakistan in India) and the Xinjiang side is completely different, because of the moisture of the Indian Ocean, the Indian side has much more rain, and the snow on this side will be very rich. As a result, Downing's tourist destination was on the Indian side, where he had to set up a hut to spend his vacation in an almost uninhabitable place, and live next to the high-altitude animals like mountain elves every day.
Even Tang Ning gave himself a legal name: Karakoram monk, hehe, very emotional.
For every 1,000 meters above sea level, the temperature drops by 6 degrees, and even if there is 30 degrees at zero elevation, the 6,000-meter mountain must be icy and snowy. So the number of glaciers in the Karakoram is huge, and many parameters are world records.
Before the soldiers and horses moved, Tang Ning summoned the team that went to the Arctic to build a logistics center to discuss the equipment issue. It can be seen that in his heart, the ice and snow climate of the mountains is the same as the North Pole.
No matter where he goes, the god-level tyrants have never worried about transportation and communication problems, and the communication is not smooth, so Tang Ning directly launched a satellite over the Karakoram to pull it down. The traffic problem is solved by airships, which can rise to an altitude of 10,000 meters above the highest lift, so it is not difficult to cross the Karakoram Mountains.
The most challenging thing was housing, and Downing decided to build a castle called the Eagle's Nest in a very short time. How short is extremely short? This is equivalent to a few days, which can only be achieved in areas where heavy industry is extremely developed, how can it be achieved in the Karakoram, where birds do not lay eggs?
God-level engineers have their own methods to digitize the three-dimensional terrain of the construction site they fancy and transmit it to the construction factory, where they first copy the terrain with building materials, and then use modular prefabricated parts to build blocks on it, which are modules that can be easily disassembled and more convenient to transport. In the gigafactory, it was just a matter of moving the parts to the Karakoram Mountains.
This method of construction is more like building a large ship, and the site for the construction of the palace was chosen in the industrial city of Delhi, which is only 600 kilometers from the Karakoram Mountains. After being favored by the uncrowned king of India, Delhi's industry will usher in a huge leap, from infrastructure to talent will be flooded in large numbers, people think that this is Downing's development of India's old capital, but they don't know that it is all because of the construction of an unprecedented high-altitude palace.
Downing built a world-class mega-industrial park directly for Delhi, and when a large amount of heavy industrial resources poured into Delhi, he personally went to inspect the location of the eagle's nest, and no one could replace him in the decision.
He'd spent most of his time surveying the terrain, and when he returned, discussing building materials with the team, Downing had decided to concoct a white stone that would be physically strong enough for the castle to withstand the strongest airborne cannon available. There are also many kinds of artificial stone, such as the Tangning species, which requires artificial stone to be more expensive than naturally mined.
The white color is to match the snow-capped mountains and glaciers that are ubiquitous here.
In this desperate situation on earth, lives one of the most beautiful animals in Downing's opinion: the snow leopard. The snow leopard preys on the snailhorn goat, and the two desperate elves play out fascinating survival stories every day. The horns of the horns are in the shape of a double helix and are a beautiful spirit that walks on the rock walls of a desperate situation, and only the snow leopard's surprise attack can sometimes succeed.
Downing found a fairly flat area of about 6,000 meters from about 6,000 meters where the frequency of snail horn goats and snow leopards is very high, about 2,000 square meters, enough to build a snow-capped mountain palace. The best part is that you will find these two kinds of snow-capped mountain spirits around from time to time, and you will be happy to be with them.
The exploration team quickly mapped the three-dimensional map of the alpine land and handed it over to the architectural design team to model.
After the site selection is completed, the design plan will be selected. Downing gathered some of his favorite design studios and invited them to visit the site to find inspiration.
The final shortlisted proposal uses seven slender towers as the top of the eagle's nest, which is quite in line with the connotation of the name eagle's nest. These seven towers are completely based on the topography, there is no trace, and there is a faint mystery of heaven and earth, plus the four square and three circles are matched, the whole design is more varied, more aura.
Interestingly, the design has all the electricity arranged, and seven horizontal windmills away from the Eagle's Nest are connected to guò with no sense of disobedience, and the powerful electricity is transmitted to the Eagle's Nest City, maintaining the retro style of the castle in the middle of the mountain. The mountain wind is cold, and the electricity is not worried. The snow is continuous, and the water source is not worried, so you can go to the nearby permanent snow-capped mountain to get it.
It was so decided, construction began, and the most important project of the Delhi Industrial Park began to break ground. The construction environment on the high mountain is very harsh, and once humans are exposed to the strong winds of the snowy mountains, they will immediately freeze to avoid choking, so Downing decided to use robots to complete 90% of the work, and their powerful robotic arms can manipulate tons of modules, which is much more efficient than human flesh.
If these tens of thousands of tons of work were to be done by human flesh, it would be done until the Year of the Monkey. Even if the crane is used, Downing also dislikes its efficiency is not high enough, now it is a luxury to enjoy the project, only talk about efficiency and not cost, in fact, the cost of pure mechanization is much higher than that of manual manipulation of the machine.
In addition to building this project, Downing wanted to challenge the alpine construction industry. At high altitudes, it is one of the most scarce areas in the world, because transportation and manpower are quite expensive and expensive.
As long as it is a mountainous country, it is rare to be rich, and it is even more difficult to build a house. If Tangning's highly automated robotic arm is done well this time, it will become a model for the alpine construction industry in the new era, which can demonstrate the pride of god-level engineers to change the world.
With the design in mind, we immediately moved on to the next interesting project: farming in the Eagle's Nest. The interesting part here is the choice of breeding breeds. In order to adapt to the alpine environment, Tangning specially selected reindeer and elk, two animals with good food and milk, and cultivated excellent and sufficient pasture grass on constant temperature vegetables for them to eat.
The wind in the mountains is so abundant that the electricity generated can support the huge grass towers, and the two elves of the snowcock and the short-eared rabbit have become excellent products for mini ranches. Living in an alpine castle, the recipes are different, and it is also a big reason why Downing is interested in research.
Hunting in the Karakoram Mountains is a shame, and wild animals are just lost, and one is missing.
Downing unveiled the design of the Eagle's Nest Castle to the BBC, which aroused a wide range of interest among travel enthusiasts, and it was the dream of many travelers to challenge the mountains, and the young Indian man dreamed of coming to the foot of the Karakoram Mountains, but unfortunately he was not able to go deep into the desperate situation of the world.
But what shocked everyone was the speed with which the castle was built, with the King of Windsor continuing to break world records in the construction industry. It would take more than a year for the castle to be built, but it seems that just a month after the design drawings were finalized, the construction team actually said that it had reached the acceptance stage. Do you dare to live in a castle built in a month?
When the team released the video of the construction machine 24-hour non-stop work, people suddenly realized that this is the case, and the machine is still a big industry.
Tens of thousands of tons of building modules were dismantled and transported from the Delhi Industrial Park to the construction site, and a castle with the urge to raise a glass to the bright moon was transported from the big city to a desperate situation, subverting people's notions of architecture. The abdicated King of Bavaria is still whimpering with his Neuschwanstein Castle, which never seems to be finished.
This eagle's nest is like an inherent enchantment in magic, isolated from the world, and people don't know where it was built, only in the secret realm of the Karakoram Mountains. And our local tyrant Lao Cai Tang boss will enjoy solitary fun in this secret castle.
The construction and acceptance were handed over to a strict team of professionals, and Downing recently wandered around a short distance from Delhi, riding a velociraptor in a nightmare of ground transportation.
The herbaceous plants here are even taller than elephants, and the animals have evolved to be very small enough to move from one grass to another. The world's smallest dwarf pig is here, and it can even be placed in the palm of a person's hand. Only my great raptor can jump 7 or 8 meters high without hindrance and do fast traversal, so that elephants are beyond the reach of the dust.
The grass clippers brought by Downing cut a 10-meter radius in the depths of the long grass forest into a flat space so that the grass forest tour group could barbecue here. The members of the tour group are all old friends, the Indian Emperor Queen Victoria and his wife, Princess Louise and his wife, who are not sweet enough after a year of honeymoon travel, and Princess Alice, Louise's third sister.
Downing told Albert about the amazing herbaceous forests of India, and he couldn't resist "coming before he died", and it seemed that he was still very uncomfortable with life without a stomach. And Downing also called his family.
Of course, the barbecue here is not done over an open fire, otherwise the whole forest would have to be set on fire. They use a fully enclosed air oven, and the ingredients are mini animals caught in the grass, piglets, and rabbits, forming a combination of cute barbecue ingredients.
Tang Ning suddenly thought: "Huh? My Eagle's Nest City Mini Ranch can use the grass in this long-grass forest as forage, which can save a lot of effort, save territory, and raise a few more reindeer. ”
In this place where the grass grows and the eagle flies, imagine the snowy eagle's nest castle, which is very magical. Little Erin was so moved that she asked, "Daddy, when can we go to see the castle?" ”
Tang Ning said with infinite pity: "Of course it will be soon, the castle will be built in a few months, and the acceptance is naturally just around the corner." Waiting for my good news. ”
Little Erin's favorite daddy that kept giving her magical experiences was the most, and she hugged Downing's knees and licked her red lips as she stared greedily at the cute ingredients that were spinning in the air oven that were getting more and more golden. This scene really made Donald drown in the long grass of happiness.
His Royal Highness was so touched by the fact that the grass was cut and gave off a pungent smell that made it so wild, and there was no more touching embrace of nature than the long grass that was several meters high.
For a moment, the prince thought that if he died here, he would have no regrets in this life, and that there was an atmosphere that made people return to the earth in the depths of the grassy forest, which had not been reached for thousands of years.
The prince said what he thought, and Queen Victoria was not like a queen at the moment, but like a little woman, holding her husband's arm very gently.
Downing said, "You can't die, Albert." Believe me. Why don't we make an appointment to visit Delhi again next year, maybe here, since Albert loves this herbaceous forest so much. ”
Everyone laughed and praised kindness, wanting to weaken the prince's life feelings.
Not long after, the team that accepted the Eagle's Nest City received a message of joy, and the Queen's family was still in Delhi at the time, and they strongly asked to see the Desperate Castle.
Originally, being surrounded by long grass was enough to blend in with nature, but the Eagle's Nest Castle, which was deeply embedded in the no-man's land, appeared in front of him, and even if he didn't go down, Albert's feeling of returning to the earth was even stronger, and it was actually stronger than the feeling of being surrounded by long grass.
The trip was so worthwhile. This is not a high tide, the next day, this cold desperate situation began to snow heavily, in this increasingly heavy snow, the castle residents who are well taken care of by the stable heating system gathered together to drink reindeer milk hot coffee, talk and laugh, look out the window, 50 meters away there is a snow leopard quietly approaching a snail horn goat to try to sneak attack, but Princess Louise screamed and alarmed the goat, so that the snow leopard missed, and looked at this side with resentful eyes.
This castle with an inherent enchantment once again melts the worldly heart of the traveler to the fullest.
The blizzard is still raging, and the enchantment is still warm as spring.
After the meeting in the hall was over, the inhabitants dispersed and moved into their own towers, each with its own name.
Queen Victoria and his wife live in the Jiaomu Jiao Tower, Alice and his wife live in the Fang Ri Rabbit Tower, Louise and his wife live in the Xinyue Fox Tower, and the Tang Ning family lives in the Kangjin Dragon Tower. It's like a fairy among the gods.
