Chapter 142: What Should Come Will Come

In October, the weather in Baidi was still hot and the ultraviolet rays were very intense, and although it was not yet seven o'clock in the morning, the power of the sun was already beginning to be felt.

The climatic conditions of Baidi belong to the tropical desert climate, the main characteristic of this climatic condition is that the sun shines for a particularly long time, so the summer of Baidi is very long, from April to October every year, there are six months of summer time, and the temperature is kept at about 45 degrees Celsius, this temperature is only its average temperature, there are many times the extreme temperature, can reach more than 50 degrees Celsius.

And during this time, because Dubai is located in a desert area, it will also be attacked by sandstorms, whenever the sandstorm comes, the overwhelming sand, like dark clouds, but also accompanied by lightning and thunder, but there is no rain, just sand, people who have seen it will feel both spectacular and terrifying.

However, with the greening construction in recent years, the frequency of such large-scale sandstorms has not been high, which has also given Dubai the title of "oasis in the desert". But after all, it is located in a desert area, so the sand and dust are still relatively large, and although the city is clean, there is always a gray feeling.

And now Dong Chen, who is going out, is enjoying all of the above, that is, high temperature and dust, but looking at the weather forecast, it is said that there is rain today, which is rare in this season, but it is estimated that it will not rain much.

At this time, Dong Chen walked lightly on the streets of Dubai with smart glasses whose display screen had turned into dark disguised as sunglasses, oh, by the way, followed by Cui Ping, who was wearing a suit, black sunglasses, and a cold expression, with a look of "I'm a bodyguard, don't mess with me".

Dong Chen looked back and looked at him, "Cui Ping, aren't you hot?" Wear it so tightly. ”

"Boss, this is my job requirement, I'm used to it." Cui Ping shook his head and said calmly.

Well, Dong Chen looked at the powerful sun in the morning, and then at his casual summer clothes, thinking that it is really not easy to be a soldier, especially a guard.

"Let's go, let's go to Bidita, I'll treat you to dinner, and then take a look at the tallest building in the world." Dong Chen and Cui Ping said goodbye, declined the hotel's suggestion to provide a car, Dong Chen planned to experience the taxi here.

Just waited on the side of the road for a while, didn't wait for the legendary supercar rental and luxury car rental, he had no choice but to stop a taxi and leave, and after getting in the car, he found that the car was indeed very well configured, but it was not so exaggerated. After telling the driver about the destination in fluent Ra'ab, he also asked about the luxury car rental, and the driver told him that such cars are usually booked by phone, and it is rare to run directly on the road with a small hat like on the Internet.

In this process, Cui Ping didn't say a word with an expressionless face, and played the role of a bodyguard very well, which made the driver a little puzzled, the identity of this young man must not be simple, he was followed by a bodyguard when he traveled, and he may have taken a taxi for curiosity and experience life, which can be felt from Dong Chen's constant questioning, but what he didn't know was that it could also be related to Cui Ping's lack of understanding of La Arbor.

Everyone knows that the profession of a taxi driver is relatively talkative, and when the passengers are not talking to him, he may be silent a little, but when the passengers chat with them, it is as unstoppable as the release of water from the reservoir, especially when Dong Chen asks about the world's tallest building, which is their pride here, so the driver gushed about Dong Chen's situation in Baidita.

At 828 meters tall and 162 floors, the tower cost $1.5 billion, and the building itself cost at least $1 billion, not including the construction of its large shopping mall, lake and slightly lower towers. A total of 330,000 cubic meters of concrete, 62,000 tonnes of reinforced steel and 142,000 square metres of glass were used. About 4,000 workers and 100 cranes were mobilized to pump concrete vertically over 606 meters to build this monumental structure.

After learning that Dong Chen was a guest from Huaguo, the driver also said that this record also broke the record of 492 meters when the World Financial Center was built in Shanghai. It seems that this driver has done a lot of homework, Dong Chen praised the driver and said that he was erudite, many foreigners may not go to the sea to list where it is, this one even knows the World Financial Center Building, the driver laughed and said to Dong Chen more cheerfully, and also praised Dong Chen's Laabor language is really good.

After arriving at the destination happily all the way, Dong Chen happily paid the fare and gave a lot of tips, and the driver was also very happy, it was rare to meet a foreign guest who spoke La'a Bo so fluently, and he was very generous, and gave Dong Chen a business card before leaving, so that he must find himself when he needs a car, although this guest who looks extraordinary but is unusually kind may not be able to use it, but it is also a mind.

Dong Chen happily took the business card, said that he would definitely call if necessary, and waved goodbye to him, Dong Chen was not fooling him, and he was not an ordinary rich man.

Dong Chen stood still and looked at the towering giant tower of Tongtian, and couldn't help but feel a little envious, he also wanted to build a building like this, but this was not something that could be completed in two days, so it was better to come here first to have a good time. So Dong Chen decided not to eat for now, he wanted to go up to the tower to have a look first.

Many people will think that climbing the tower is just to climb the tower to see the scenery, but in fact, there are many highlights in the journey from the entrance to the elevator of the tower.

For example, he is now taking Cui Ping through a pitch-black corridor, one side of which is a screen that plays promotional videos about Baidi Tower, Baidi history and La Arbo culture. When you leave, it's like a movie scroll, and as a welcome cutscene, it really gives people a very majestic feeling when you open your head.

After walking out of the corridor, I passed through a very designed aisle, and there will be a lot of picture captions and text introductions about Baidi Tower on the wall around me, these graphic images will interpret the humanistic spirit and historical significance of Baidi Tower from the original design, creativity, construction history and other aspects, this kind of contrast will make people feel the epic sense of Baidi Tower as a miracle of human civilization, but Dong Chen feels that this is actually forcibly publicizing and pulling up the style.

Finally, out of the aisle, you will come to the sightseeing elevator ride, at this time, there are already many tourists waiting here, before entering the elevator, the staff will take a photo for each group of tourists.

After that, it's time to wait for the world's fastest elevator.

There are 56 lifts in the Baidi Tower, but there are only two elevators to the observation platform, which can carry up to 42 people at a time. But don't think that if there are few elevators, tourists will be stranded, this is the world's tallest elevator, and the top speed can soar to 17 meters per second. Although it usually doesn't drive so fast, it only takes 1 minute to get from the bottom of the tower to the viewing platform on the 124th floor, yes, it's 1 minute! You know, how many residential areas have elevators that go up to the top floor in more than 1 minute.

So Dong Chen and Cui Ping took their turn after a short while, and the inside of the elevator was also dark, flashing with some blue fluorescence. Each elevator on the tower will be equipped with a staff member as a guide, there are two LCD screens on the elevator wall showing the number of floors, only to see the number jumping slowly, but the elevator is stable, unconsciously, 1 minute of time has passed, they have reached the 124th floor, it is really fast and overwhelming, Dong Chen now wants to shout very much: Your time is very valuable!

The moment you open the elevator door, the viewing platform of Mingtangtang is presented in front of you, compared to the dark elevator inside, this visual experience is too shocking, it is simply a cloud to see the sun, many people can't help but exclaim, I believe that many people will remember this scene very deeply.

The 124-story viewing platform is actually composed of two parts, a relatively large indoor viewing area and a smaller open-air viewing platform, and there is a gap in the glass of the open-air viewing platform, which is convenient for tourists to overlook and take pictures. As the world's tallest building, the view is naturally very good, you can see a large area of sand, ocean, high-rise buildings, and all kinds of unfinished buildings here, it is good to take pictures, if you wait until night, I believe that shooting the entire Dubai night view will have a very amazing effect.

But in general, Dong Chen walked around twice, and after looking around, he felt that it was just like that, just looking at the scenery from a very high place, which may be related to the fact that he has walked a flying skateboard, driven a plane, and flown an airship. However, whether it looks good or not varies from person to person, and there are still many people who watch it with relish.

In the indoor viewing area, there are also some auxiliary telescopes, which require about 40 yuan to buy a ticket to use, and the image is directly delivered to the screen. There is also a souvenir area, where there are a lot of people, and you always have to buy some souvenirs when you come out to play, especially when you come to the world's tallest building. Dong Chen also found a legendary gold vending machine, which is the kind of "others automatically sell drinks, it directly and automatically buys gold" on the Internet, selling gold nuggets engraved with the pattern of Baidi Tower, and the cheapest is about 1,300 yuan Huayuan. Dong Chen was still more interested here, and he had to buy some gifts to take back, otherwise they would have to rebel.

When Dong Chen was wandering around and shopping inside, some people also gathered on several high-rise buildings around the Baidi Tower, the world's tallest building at 828 meters high, not only the world's richest people spend and stay in a good place for tourists to stay, but also a landmark in the eyes of skyscraper fans and photography enthusiasts, especially today's weather forecast reports rain, and rainy days here are often accompanied by thunder and lightning.

You know, the desert area is notoriously empty, and the nearly kilometer-old steel creature of Bidita is simply the pillar of optimus in this area, and every time it rains, it seems to say to the sky, "Split me!" You're hacking me! "It's just that in the years since it was built, there have only been a few lightning strikes, so every rainy day, people come here to wait, hoping to take pictures of man-made objects competing with nature.

If Dong Chen knew that there were so many people outside praying that Baidita was struck by lightning, he would definitely scold his mother for selling batches!
