Chapter 422: 421. Grand Canyon (Monthly Pass 118+)

The name of the warehouse company is Glen Canyon, but Glen Canyon is not only a canyon, it is also the name of a dam. The full name is Glen Canyon Dam.

The dam, technically located in Black Canyon not far from Page, controls the flow of the Colorado River and generates electricity.

At the beginning of his study abroad, Li Du tried his best to browse some modern projects in the United States and Arizona State, which can help him better understand this country and this society.

As one of the most spectacular modern projects in the United States and one of the most macroscopic and complex buildings in the world, the Glen Canyon Dam was naturally the focus of his attention at that time.

The life of this dam is legendary.

Since a hundred years ago, the local governments and Congress of the United States have believed that allowing the West River to flow westward into the sea is simply an unforgivable waste of resources:

They believe that in addition to being used for agricultural irrigation and hydroelectric power generation, these abundant water resources can also be introduced into lakes to become attractive sightseeing resources and enable these lakes to have the function of regulating water volume.

Under the urging of this belief, the U.S. federal and related state government authorities have combined the strength of non-government businesses to build more than 600 large and small dams in the barren western United States over the past century.

Among the many dams, the Glen Canyon Dam shines brightly. It is built on the Colorado River in Arizona against the beautiful scenery of Colorado. It is close to Utah and connects the three places.

Since ancient times, these three states have been relatively dry, and a large amount of land cannot be turned into good fields due to lack of water. The mission of the dam is to store water resources for this particularly arid part of the United States.

After its completion, the dam has fulfilled its mission very well. It is 216 meters high, and the arched top is 470 meters long, like a giant with open arms, embracing a grand canyon.

When the car arrived at the warehouse company, Li Du looked up at the gate of the company and said, "The auction is over, I have to go to Lake Powell and the dam area to see, this must be a very spectacular project."

The gate of the Glen Canyon Warehouse Company adopts the image of the main dam, a scaled-down version of the dam stands on the ground, and walls extend from both ends of the dam to finally surround the warehouse.

Hans said: "Go and have a look, I'll go and have a look too, maybe I won't be able to see it in a few years."

This is why the life of the dam is full of legend. As Hans said, it is likely that these dams will not be seen in a few years, because the US government is now planning to tear it down.

This happened because the dam, which supplied the water resources of three states, had a deadly effect on the local flora and fauna.

The existence of dams not only disrupted the natural law of flooding and drought that can maintain ecological balance, but also caused countless salmon to die because they could not enter the sea.

Two years ago, the U.S. House of Representatives organized two hearing groups to investigate this matter. The investigation was quickly completed, and the government began to dismantle the dams. Now some small dams have been dismantled.

So Hans started babbling about 'wasting taxpayers' money', 'Democrats corrupted Republicans', 'God didn't throw lightning and kill these sons of bitch politicians'...

Li Du took out a pack of Marlboro cigarettes, which were for the security guards. After the security guards accepted the cigarettes, they would open the door and let them enter the warehouse for a walk.

They have always used this method to enter the warehouse company. Of course, if the company's defenses are lax, they will also sneak in, but this time there is no way to sneak in.

The Glen Canyon Warehouse Company is very strict in management. It is not easy to get in even if you are given a pack of cigarettes. The security guard looked at them and said, "Only one person can go in."

Hans put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Hey, buddy, we are not here to make trouble, we are treasure hunters, so let's go in and get familiar with the environment first."

"Only one person can go in." The security guard said coldly.

Hans began to encourage his three-inch tongue, but the security guards didn't let him in. Whatever you like to say, anyway, at most one person can get in.

Li Du said: "Okay, I'll go in."

The security put away the cigarettes and opened the door to let him into the company.

This warehouse is very large. According to the information he got, it covers an area of ​​more than 200 mu, with a total of nearly 500 warehouses.

But after entering, he found that there were not five hundred warehouses here, not even one hundred. It's just that the warehouse is very large, and many huge warehouses are neatly arranged on the ground, which is very spectacular.

Li Du walked inside, not only saw the warehouse, but also saw some bulletin boards.

He saw that the bulletin board had been around for some years, and the pattern on it was vicissitudes and simplicity, so he released the little flying insects to use the ability to reverse time.

Then time photos appeared one after another. In the first photos, workers were always gathered in front of the bulletin boards.

In this way, he suddenly realized that the warehouse inside should have been built by the previous dam engineering team for the construction of the dam. Later, after the dam was completed, it was sold to a certain businessman and became a warehouse for tourists and local residents.

Then he released the little flying insect, and he became more certain of this guess after the little flying insect entered the warehouse.

The warehouse is very large, with partitions formed inside, and one warehouse has become four or five small warehouses, so there are indeed four to five hundred warehouses here.

The first warehouse to be auctioned is No. 15. There are many warehouses to look at today, and the task is arduous. Li Du didn't have the energy to take a closer look, so he could only scan them roughly.

This is also the reason why he attaches great importance to the information provided by Zhang Kai. He does not plan to check the warehouses between No. 51 and No. 100 for the time being. He will wait until tomorrow's auction to see it.

The bug flew into warehouse No. 15. There were not many things in it. The warehouse was very empty, except for a mountain bike with no tires, some broken tents, rusty ovens and other things parked there.

After a glance, he didn't find any valuables, so he immediately took out the little flying insect and entered the next warehouse.

The second warehouse is Warehouse No. 21. There are many things in it, but they are worthless. Some food is stored in it. The food is moldy, which attracts many insects and ants.

After looking at four warehouses in a row, they were all worthless. After entering the fifth warehouse, Li Du finally made a discovery.

Under a dusty cover, a motorcycle was parked there.

The appearance of this motorcycle is very flamboyant and domineering, like a monster of war.

In other words, it is a monster, a steel monster.

This is not a description. The motorcycle Li Du saw should be hand-forged by an enthusiast: the body is an unknown monster, the front is a beast head, the handle is a horn, the rear is a beast tail, and the bracket is a monster. one foot!

He asked Little Flying Insect to take a look at the engine and gearbox. Cars are common items in warehouse auctions, but people will take away valuable parts such as engines, leaving a useless empty shell.
