1009. Arrived at the battlefield
readx;
In the following days, Qin Shiou focused on practicing 15 kilometers of long-distance swimming. When he practiced for the first time, he entered four hours, and when he was in his best condition, he could swim for three and a half hours.
Butler rushed to Japan with a 900-pound big tuna. As soon as the fish appeared, it caused a sensation in Tokyo.
This year, the Japanese tuna market is sluggish. A large fish is over 500 pounds. I haven't seen any of those over 800 pounds. As soon as this 900 pound bluefin tuna appears, it almost confirmed its identity as the fish king.
What excited Tokyo seafood merchants not only the weight of this fish, but also the meat quality. The fat content of this fish has set a historical record, which is even higher than the big fish brought by Qin Shiou last year, and the auction price is expected to be only high or not low.
Qin Shiou didn't pay much attention to this issue. On March 10, he drove a boat with his family, tiger, leopard, bear and wolf, and rushed to Prince Edward Island to prepare for this competition.
The farewell trumpet was driving rapidly, breaking the wind and waves all the way, and arrived at the Northumberland Strait the day before the game.
When we arrived at the strait, it happened to be early in the morning. Qin Shiou stood on the deck and glanced around and saw the famous Canadian Federal Bridge first.
The Federal Bridge is another great and brilliant feat of Canada's challenge and conquer nature after the Pacific Railway. It connects Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick and is a giant cross-sea bridge.
The bridge is long and magnificent, but the lines are extremely graceful and stretchy. To describe it in a common Chinese saying, it is like a giant dragon hovering on the sea.
The rising sun is rising, and the sun shines on the sea and spreads on the bridge, adding more charm.
Qin Shiou searched on his mobile phone. The bridge is 129 kilometers long and is currently the longest bridge in the world that crosses ice-covered waters. Its completion and opening to traffic have completely changed the isolation of Prince Edward Island for thousands of years and is recognized by the world as the greatest project in Canada in the 20th century.
For Prince Edward Island, the Federal Bridge has now become the Bridge of Life, before the bridge was built, and the islands and the outside world were completely transported by ferries and planes.
At that time, in order to overcome the traffic barriers with Canada, the Prince Edward Island Provincial Government proposed to the federal government in the 1980s to build an undersea tunnel or a cross-sea bridge.
This incident almost led to civil unrest on Prince Edward Island, because some island residents were worried that once the trans-sea transportation facilities were completed, they would seriously damage the "original ecology" on the island and disrupt their peaceful lifestyle.
Another group of residents advocates the construction of undersea tunnels or cross-sea bridges to improve their "isolated" living conditions.
Two different views once dominated violent conflicts among their supporters. Later, after the provincial government suppressed them by force, it decided to resolve the problem by referendum across the island. It also held a referendum on January 18, 1988.
The final result was that 594% of the votes voted to build the cross-sea bridge. The project started in 1993, investing 5,000 labor and 1 billion US dollars. It was completed and opened to traffic on May 31, 1997, creating this great building.
The choice of the charity competition in the Northumberland Strait also has meaning. The Federal Bridge is the spirit of the competition, symbolizing the unyielding belief of participants in fighting poverty, disease, and despair.
Shaq walked out of the cab. When he saw Qin Shiou looking at the bridge with amazement, he said, "Boss. You'd better look at it more. It will be a pointer to guide you to swim during the competition. If you find that you are getting farther away from the bridge, you have to adjust the swimming route."
Qin Shiou nodded. When the yacht passed under the bridge, he looked up and saw the flags fluttering under the sea breeze, namely the Canadian flag, Prince Edward Island Provincial Flag, New Brunswick Provincial Flag and the Federal Bridge Flag.
Seeing that he had been watching the bridge in a daze, Winnie asked, "What are you looking at? Are you seeing such a spectacular bridge for the first time?"
Qin Shiou said: "No, I am thinking about one thing. That is, should we say goodbye to the island, or should we imitate Prince Edward Island and build such a cross-sea bridge?"
Winnie was stunned and then laughed: "What are you kidding? Prince Edward Island has an area of 6,000 square kilometers, ranking 104th in the world. It ranks 23rd in Canada, how about saying goodbye to the island?"
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "The area of the farewell island is also very large, it must be four or five hundred square kilometers, right?"
Winnie looked at his expression carefully, and said in a terrifying look: "Are you serious?"
The Federal Bridge looks majestic, but in fact it is only more than ten kilometers long. Where is the farewell island from St. Johns? More than eighty kilometers! And the Federal Bridge, which is more than ten kilometers, costing one billion in the last century. What about eighty kilometers of bridge?
The more Wenni thought about it, the more frightened she became. She was about to persuade Qin Shiou to give up this unrealistic idea, but Qin Shiou laughed first and said, "You are really serious? I'm so stupid. How could I want to build a bridge that is dozens of kilometers long?"
Distance is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem lies in the value. The population density of Prince Edward Island is twenty-five people per square kilometer. This is the largest population density in Canada's provinces. What about farewell to the island? There are four or five people per square kilometer on average...
Qin Shiou came to Prince Edward Island in advance, not only familiar with the stadium, but also wanted to have fun here.
Prince Edward Island is known for its beautiful scenery. When Canada introduced various provinces, the introduction here was: God placed part of the land he created in the turbulent Atlantic Ocean, and thus created a beautiful island.
Among the native Indians, Prince Edward Island's name is "Abaiguwit", which means "the cradle floating on the waves", which shows how beautiful it is.
In addition to the beautiful scenery, Prince Edward Island also has a proud Canadian place, which is the mild climate.
The warm waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence make the island more milder than those on the Canadian continent, making up for the humid climate conditions here all year round.
The summer here is warm and humid, with the temperature generally remaining at 20 degrees Celsius and the maximum will exceed 35 degrees Celsius. It is already a very hot place in Canada.
It was March at this time, and the temperature was still relatively low, swaying around 45 degrees Celsius above zero. However, for Canadians who are used to the cold, this temperature can be worn in spring and autumn clothes.
The farewell trumpet is on the Shanghai Port. When Qin Shiou got off the boat, he could see several fishermen wearing cotton coats on the dock. After entering the city, this kind of dress was rare. Whether girls or young men, they changed into spring and autumn clothes. Even if the cold wind occasionally trembled, they would not care. (To be continued.)
