Chapter 1043: Aircraft Carrier (7)
Fumiko once followed Yan Shao to some countries, especially some countries in Britain and the United States, and also saw some local scenery there. Naturally, something as relatively rare as an aquarium was something that Fumiko had seen with her own eyes.
That's right, a rarity.
Until 1928, there were 45 public and private aquariums in the world. In other words, there are only 45 aquariums in the whole world, and there is not even one in Chinaββββββ because the earliest Qingdao aquarium in China will not appear until 32 years.
After that, the pace of development slowed down, and it was only after World War II that several new large aquariums appeared. In the original history of Asia, the first aquarium was built in 1930.
As mentioned earlier, the early aquariums were quite boring, because the aquariums at that time were all aquarium-like thingsββββββ it should be noted that the volume of this kind of thing is usually related to the financial investment, in other words, the more money you invest, the larger the volume of the aquarium.
Many aquariums in later generations were not particularly large, not because they couldn't make them that big, but because of financial problems.
Of course, in this day and age, technology will also be an issue in addition to money. After all, unlike later generations, materials science in this era was not very developed. Therefore, if you want to achieve the same standard as later generations, you need to spend at least several times or even more than ten times the investment.
This is also the most important reason why the scale of aquariums in this era is usually not very large, and it is also very boring in Yan Shao's opinion.
Aquarium, also known as aquarium or aquarium, is an ecological tank for ornamental use and special breeding of aquatic animals and plants. Usually at least one side is clear glass or high-strength plastic. Aquariums are usually kept in captivity by fish, but can also be invertebrates, amphibians, marine mammals or reptiles, and plants adapted to grow in water. Aquarium breeding is one of the popular hobbies all over the world. There are about 60 million enthusiasts worldwide.
In the 1850s, the predecessor of the modern aquarium became a novelty of the time. With the development of more complex aquarium systems such as lighting and filtration systems. Aquarium fish have become healthier.
The aquarium in the Sea Life Aquarium can be huge, with the Alaska Aquarium for example, having a capacity of 5,400 cubic meters and about 580 species of aquatic life.
So like I said earlier, the volume of an aquarium is more about money than technology.
Of course, if it is too difficult, even if you have more moneyββββββ you will not be able to do it, but if you understand it the other way around, it means that you do not have enough money. Since the thing you're trying to make is difficult. So the money needed for this difficult project should be relatively difficult, right?
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In any case, in Yan Shao's view, since China has entered a rare upward period, there should be many facilities inside the country that can enrich the entertainment of the Chinese people.
Playgrounds are naturally one of them, but aquariums should also be included.
Of course, it seems that aquariums and other things will often be included in facilities such as marine parks in later generations. At least in an aquarium near Yan Shao's hometown. In addition to an aquarium, it also contains a playground, a beach-like place, and a jungle park.
Although Yan Shao has not yet gone in. But at least it still sounds pretty good.
Of course, tickets are also quite expensive...
200 oceans!
Although this is not an unaffordable price, it is important to consider how many people will go in. If there are more people going in, that. The problem is strict.
For example, Yan Shao once planned to take his parents in to play, but he did it. There are more than 600 tickets for three people alone. So the parents decisively refused, and chose other places to play.
Although he didn't have fun at all later, Yan Shao also felt that it was better to go to the aquarium...
All in all, this kind of place is still Yan Shao's favorite place to go, although Yan Shao's age is already relatively old. In the eyes of some teenage children, they can already be called 'uncle-level' characters. But Yan Shao still likes to go to this kind of place, who is called Yan Shao's childhood, that is, in the early days, there were almost no good playgrounds in China at that time.
Even now, Yan Shao still remembers that when he was in school, the school organized activities and went to the nearby park to play, and there was basically nothing in it. Some are just some things like trampolinesββββββ these things can't help but be classic, but compared with today's amusement rides, they seem some...
The gap is too big?
All in all, that's about what it looks like...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In any case, since we want to build the first aquarium in China, we must build the world's largest aquariumββββββ which is Yan Shao's concept.
And Yan Shao is also doing this, not to mention that this aquarium is also built for Fumiko from a certain point of view.
Of course, such a large aquarium will definitely not be open to Fumiko or Yan Shao's family after it is completed, but it will be open to the public.
But even so, the implications are just as striking.
Of course, this aquarium is not a free facility like a park, after all, the cost of maintaining an aquarium is quite staggering. This is especially true when these aquariums are filled with a large number of aggressive fish.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
According to the design drawings given to Yan Shao by the engineers of the aquarium later, the design of the entire aquarium is very amazing. Among them, there are dozens of large-area aquariums alone, which not only raise more than 500 kinds of aquatic creatures and marine animals. These include giant sharks, centenarian turtles, coral seascapes, tropical marine fish, sea lions, walruses, seals and more. There are also whales, dolphins, and even white-sided dolphins have a few of them and roam freely in one of the aquariums.
This is not surprising. After all, during this period, the number of white-sided dolphins was not particularly rare. Thanks to the rescue measures, the white-sided dolphin has been greatly protected.
Therefore, although the white-sided dolphin, like the panda, is regarded as a first-class protected animal in the current laws of the national government.
However, after obtaining the permission and recognition of the government, the aquarium can still be raised, ββββββ nature, in which Yan Shao's identity also plays a big role, otherwise the difficulty of raising a white-sided dolphin is compared from a certain point of view. But it's much more difficult than raising pandas.
One of the most difficult things is that if you want to raise pandas, you can get a simple cement house, but if you want to raise white-sided dolphins, you need to make a separate pool or even a lake.
It is also necessary to ensure that the pool water is clean at all times, which is not an easy task.
Of course, in terms of quantity alone, the white-sided dolphin is indeed much more precious than the pandaββββββ although when it comes to the power of selling cuteness, ten white-sided dolphins may not be comparable to a panda that sells cuteness.
Except for those aquariums. The entire aquarium is also roughly divided into three departments, or three floors. The main building is divided into three floors, the first floor is a freshwater biological area, a sea beast performance theater, and an undersea tunnel. On the second floor, there is a reef creature and some recreational facilities, but given the technical limitations of this era. It doesn't seem to be fun.
The third floor is much simpler, and of course, it is much more boring for those who are not interested. Because on the third floor, it is an exhibition hall similar to popular science. It's basically a picture of some fish, and some introductions.
To some others, of course, this is a normal thing, just something like that. If you are not interested, I am afraid that even some children may not like such a project.
Besides...
Yan Shao has always been a little unsure of what to say, and the reason is very simple, because these popular sciences may not be correct.
Yes, compared with the past, it is indeed a period of rapid development of science, but compared with Yan Shao's era, this period is still a period of scientific wilderness, and many things are wrong in the eyes of later generations, and they are absurd mistakes, and they can even be said to be very wrong.
Especially in the field of biology, there are many mistakes, after all, people in this era may not know how carefully life is.
Then, the question arises...
If that's the case, then who can guarantee that the popular science is correct?
And if you don't teach it right, what's the difference between that and the wrong child?
It's just that such a facility, after all, also needs to be built...
Therefore, although Yan Shao was a little hesitant in his heart, he didn't say anything...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In any case, with the opening of this aquarium, it will soon become the largest aquarium in the world. What's more, as the only aquarium in the world with such a facility, it is bound to attract a lot of people.
Well, it doesn't seem to be a very smart thing to discuss these at the moment, at least looking at Fumiko hanging on his body, his lips still kissing him, Yan Shao's shock can be imagined.
Not only Yan Shao himself, but even the other people around him were slightly frightened.
After all, from common sense, Fumiko is Yan Shao's adopted daughter, not Yan Shao's daughter-in-law.
This kind of kissing etiquette is relatively familiar to Chinese people, but the problem is that it is usually between lovers, and it is also the same between parents, which is rare.
What's more, even if the absorption of this kind of Western culture in China has been relatively smooth in recent times, such a shocking thing is still easy to shock.
At least, everyone present was a little shocked, including Yan Shao.
On the other hand, after a momentary impulse, Fumiko, who came to her senses, seemed to notice the gaze of the people around her. After rolling her eyes, Fumiko took the initiative to let go of Yan Shao and smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, uncle, I like this gift very much...", Fumiko had already jumped to the side of the tunnel, leaning against the glass and looking at the qi qi in the tunnel, as if what had just happened was just a trivial episode, and it seemed that it was just a naughty girl who had no idea what she had just done, but was simply thanking herself for the gift she had received.
At least, that's what the bodyguards who followed him, as well as the staff around him, thought so.
Putting aside what those staff members thought in their hearts for the time being, those bodyguards didn't think that Yan Shao and Fumiko would have any innocent relationship, they just thought that it was really a little girl who didn't understand anything, because she saw the gift, and she was excited to do it.
After all, they are the people around Yan Shao, and they are relatively clear about some things about Yan Shao, of course, they know that Yan Shao and Fumiko really have nothing, so many things are not likely to happen.
It was also because of this relationship that after the shock, everyone quickly looked at Fumiko who was sticking to the glass wall with a smile.
Watching her there, she kept teasing the fish in the aquarium.
Perhaps attracted by Fumiko's beauty, or perhaps because of the fact that humans were rarely seen in the past, some fish soon came up, including a white-sided dolphin.
I have to say that this dolphin deserves the title of the goddess of the Yangtze River, and its body swimming in the water is full of praise.
But just when everyone else was looking at Fumiko with a smile and touching his lips, Yan Shao's heart was shaken sharply.
As once said, Yan Shao did not have some special thoughts about Fumiko. It's just that with the passage of time, gradually, Yan Shao has transformed this kind of ghost father's mind into the attitude that a father should have.
It's just that some time ago, whether it was Fumiko's kind of teasing, Yan Shao couldn't help but be a little shaken.
It's just that after experiencing more winds and waves, Yan Shao can still hold on to it to some extent.
Who would have thought...
Fumiko's move this time made the defense line in Yan Shao's heart almost collapse.
Looking at Fumiko's energetic back from behind, Yan Shao's mentality has also completely changed...
Ghost father? (To be continued......)
