Chapter 1566: A Bite Back
Already sailing on the sea, the Frenchman Bazin could not get off the ship for the time being, and he, like most French people, was also unable to stop talking, babbling and then praising how great the "ship of freedom" was.
Tearing apart the elegant appearance to sum up the French, it can be summed up in three words: talking a lot, doing things inefficiently, and running a train with a mouth.
It is said that when I go to a university in France, it is common for a professor to hold a monologue for two hours, and some god-level professors walk into the classroom empty-handed, think about it, and say, "Hmm...... Today, let's talk about the secularization of French schools. ”
Then the lecture crackled, there were no handouts, and there was no need for a lesson plan, and when it was time to mark the key points at the end of the semester, I scratched my head and said, "Can anyone borrow my notes and forget what I talked about this semester......"
From any point of view, the 1,400-meter-long supership, which can carry 60,000 people at the same time, is a miracle of human engineering.
The USS Reagan, the world's largest aircraft carrier for a long time in the future, is currently under construction, and it is only 333 meters long and 76 meters wide, and is expected to cost $4.5 billion.
Bazin had never been in contact with Han Xuan before, so he didn't know his eccentric personality, and Secretary Dawson thought he knew the little boss very well, and since the little boss had expressed his willingness to build it, no matter how much it cost, he would definitely build it.
Elon Musk also came to the door like this, went to Brown University to find Han Xuan, and only discussed for a while, and now the rockets designed by SpaceX are about to be launched, never asking how much money was spent, Musk asked for money and the small boss gave it, these are handled by Secretary Dawson, he knows best, it is so capricious.
Therefore, seeing Bazin talking endlessly at this time, Dawson just laughed beside him and said nothing, seeing that this guy was anxious, and he didn't mean to remind the other party.
Han Xuan continued to fish, for the time being, he had not caught a big fish that could satisfy him, today he used fake bait, if he used the special bait made by the Snow Mountain Ranch, the fish would rush to grab food, but that was very boring, the fishing veterans didn't like that kind of bait, but the fishermen liked it, and the sales were extremely hot.
His ears were constantly harassed by Bazin, Han Xuan could no longer pretend not to hear, he couldn't resist the urge to nag this word in his heart, and threw down the boat to feed the killer whales, and replied helplessly: "This ship does not meet the positioning in my mind, it still needs to be redesigned, 60,000 people is the limit number in the full load state, resulting in the space of the room is generally compressed."
I think it can be positioned a little higher, just to serve about 40,000 people, after all, people who can afford to spend money on the ship are almost always busy, rarely stay on the ship for a long time, the number of apartments is a little smaller, and the number of hotel rooms is a little more, so it is in line with the actual situation.
In addition, it is simply a perfect gambling ship, the original design of the casino area is not enough, must be expanded, the power needs to be improved, the green area must also be increased, plus the construction of supporting supply channels, the cost may exceed 10 billion US dollars.
Considering the existence of a useful life, it seems to me that it is difficult to make back the capital, and it is easier to make a profit by investing such a large amount of money in other business fields, and I will definitely lose money if I run it in the normal way.
But that means that under normal circumstances, the area of the ship is already much larger than that of the Vatican, it is more like a moving country, and many countries do not allow it, but it is possible on the high seas. ”
"Moving countries?" Bazin's eyes lit up, and he urgently asked, "Do you intend to build a nation on that ship?" ”
"It's difficult, but it's not impossible, and if I'm really going to build it, I'll make it a fantasy drifting castle that is out of the laws of various countries.
Setting the rules on that ship, in case it's attractive, and even being able to collect a small amount of taxes, detailed plans for me to consider. ”
……
The floating rod sank down suddenly, and Han Xuan quickly began to reel in the line.
There is a fish that is pulled by the line and jumps out of the water, and you can see the markings on its body, it is a grouper.
The length of this fish can reach more than two meters, and it is not surprising that it weighs more than 100 kilograms, and the one in front of it is only about 45 centimeters, which can only be regarded as a small fish.
When the grouper was pulled up, Han Xuan took the hook from the fish's mouth, grabbed the lively grouper, and threw it into a square tank filled with half-filled seawater, where it was still struggling, slapping the water with its tail.
When one of the sailors saw this, he smiled and said, "You know what? Some time ago near San Francisco, a diver was almost eaten by a grouper. ”
"Eat?" Mother Guo Feng asked suspiciously.
"Yes, I heard that while he was diving, he was completely devoured by a giant grouper, which tried to bite him with a tooth plate, but fortunately it could only squash his oxygen tank, and the force was very terrifying, and then vomited him again.
He didn't die, but because the oxygen tank was broken, the guy fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen, and his companion found out and rescued him, and this incident has become a legend, and I know that sharks eat people, and the first time I heard that groupers do, too.
You say, has anyone ever been swallowed by a whale and is still alive? Except for killer whales, those guys eat everything, and I mean the kind of whales that don't have teeth, like baleen whales, blue whales. ”
Han Xuan likes to discuss this kind of question about natural creatures, and after listening to it, he thinks about it for a while, and replies: "Baleen whales and blue whales are impossible.
They are very smart, and they only eat small fish and shrimp, don't look at the size of the blue whale, but the diameter of the entrance to the esophagus, about ten centimeters, is impossible for people to pass through.
If someone swallows them by mistake and is lucky not to be bitten, there is a good chance that they will spit out alive, but that's just my guess, and there have been no such strange rumors.
In a book dedicated to anecdotes, there was a man named James Bartley in the 19th century, who was said to have been swallowed by a sperm whale.
More than a dozen hours later, the sperm whale was accidentally killed, and he was also dissected by people, but he was still alive, and his skin was corroded white by stomach acid.
There are several similar stories, but I seriously doubt their authenticity, in other words, I think they are false, and some zoologists speculate that sperm whales vomit after being stimulated to the stomach, and may have survived because of this. ”
He is serious now, no one would have thought that one day in the future, Han Xuan, the unlucky bastard, would really be swallowed by a whale, and that would happen a long time later......
