Chapter 453: 452. Water Leisure
Unlike the artificial reservoir in Li Du's impression, Lake Powell is more like a tourist attraction. The parking lot is full of cars and the surrounding area is full of buildings.
In fact, as early as the beginning of construction, the U.S. Water Conservancy Bureau foreseeably planned it as a large-scale project with dual functions of water storage and tourism.
Since 1972, when the reservoir was under construction, the engineering team began to build a series of tourist buildings, including the water resort center.
Li Du got out of the car, looked at the bustling beach and lake, and said, "No wonder the Navajo want to take this place back, this is a hen that can lay golden eggs!"
The Navajos are the most thoughtful of the Indians. They have developed many tourist attractions in the reservation. This is completely different from the Hopis. They have very good contacts with the outside world.
If Lake Powell can be taken back, the Navajo can live a middle-class life by relying on tourism and gaming alone.
Although the tourism industry is developed, the main function of Lake Powell is to provide drinking water and irrigation water to Utah, Arizona, and Colorado.
Therefore, the environmental protection here is very good, and there is no pollution around the reservoir, which attracts a large number of tourists.
The treasure hunters got out of the car, Hans went to rent the yacht, and the others worked together to get the huge fully automatic fishing machine.
The fishing machine is still brand new, and the warehouse is dry and sheltered from wind and rain. Except for some dust, the machine is extremely clean from top to bottom.
As soon as the machine came out, they became stars.
Several girls in sunglasses and bikinis gathered around and said, "Wow, what a beautiful fishing machine, are you here to fight big fish?"
Americans like fishing very much. As we all know, the United States has a lot of cars and is known as a country with tires.
In fact, according to the proportion, the American car ratio does not have an absolute advantage in the world. For example, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and some European countries are not inferior in this respect.
But if you look at the ratio of people to boats, that is, the ratio of population to various boats, they have a great advantage. Except for arid cities such as Phoenix, most people in cities have small boats.
Since 20 or 30 years ago, the way Americans spend their leisure time has changed. They used to go out for fun by driving, but now they have changed to go fishing by boat.
It can also be seen from the entertainment programs that there are many fishing programs in the United States: "Cunning Bluefin Tuna Life and Death Battle", "Fighting to Catch Big Fish", "Fisherman's Fight", "The King of Fishing", "Warrior at Sea" and so on. a lot.
Looking at these girls with hot bodies, the treasure pickers, these big old rough chickens moved:
"Of course, our guys are all good at fishing. Do you want to have some pike burgers at noon? I'm good at it."
"You must be a good fisherman too. Don't be modest. I can tell from your hands. Look, you have a swordfish tattoo on your body. It's so beautiful."
"Try it for a trip together? I bet you haven't experienced a fishing machine like this before, it's not only luxurious, it's comfortable!"
Not only girls came over, but some men also surrounded them. They were all fishing enthusiasts.
Someone recognized the identity of this machine at a glance: "A bad boy produced by pure fishing, this must be a Haiwei X40 fishing machine. I saw it in a magazine."
Li Du didn't want to have anything to do with those girls with heavy makeup, so when he heard someone reveal the identity of the fishing machine, he became interested and asked, "It seems that you know it well?"
The man smiled and said: "Anyone who likes fishing knows it, this is a star, the Swedish Abu Royal Seat, the Fenwick Eagle Multi-Stage Fishing Rod, the French Mitchell Spinner, the Black Spider PE Line... oh my god, it It's so beautiful, isn't it?"
After chatting with him for a while, Li Du wrote down the model number of the machine, and searched it online.
Haiwei X40 fishing machine is indeed well-known, and there are many related introductions on the Internet.
It is produced by Pure Fishing Company, the world's largest fishing tackle company headquartered in Spirit Lake City, Iowa, USA. Trusted high-quality, leading-brand fishing tackle company.
The business philosophy of Pure Fishing Company is to respect fishermen. They rely on thoughtful service and all-round high-quality fishing tackle, and have achieved absolute sales advantages in the market.
Haiwei is a fishing machine brand launched by Pure Fishing Company. X40 means that it has developed to the 40th generation. This machine is updated very quickly, and the latest one is the 44th generation.
Li Du checked it on the Internet, just as Hans estimated, a brand new X-40 needs 50,000 yuan, but the fishing machine is not only a machine, it also needs to be equipped with many accessories.
For example, fishing rods, their machine is equipped with eight fishing rods, just like a big spider, with fishing rods inserted in all directions, and each fishing rod is connected with a tension sensor.
He looked at the introduction, and if all the accessories were assembled, a new machine would cost at least 65,000 yuan - that's the price of an ordinary small yacht!
Hans rented a fishing boat, and they pushed the fishing machine to test it.
The fishing machine itself is a small boat, but it has no power and needs to be hung behind the fishing boat and dragged into the water by the fishing boat.
Launched from the pier, the fishing machine floated steadily on the water. There was already diesel in it. When it was started, the instrument panel on it immediately lit up.
Seeing this, the group immediately cheered. The fishing machine seemed to work, so it was worth the money.
Li Du also laughed, he already knew that the machine was fine, Xiao Chong had checked the generator and transmission machine and other machines.
The screen of the central control computer gradually brightened, and the logo of Chundiao Company appeared first, and then some options appeared.
This fishing machine is about four meters long and two and a half meters wide. It can accommodate four people fishing on it at a time. It is equipped with four seats, two on the front and one on each side.
The seats were opened, and a large parasol was raised. Li Du and Hans sat on it first, and Ah Miao and Gan Crispy Noodles also occupied a seat. In this way, the fishing machine was full.
Turis waved his hand and said, "Amiao, get out of the way, let me go, let's sit together."
Ah Miao glared at him angrily: "Meow meow meow!"
Don't provoke me, Master Cat will be upset, and it's annoying to go into the water again!
The fishing machine is a small luxury yacht with a freezer on it, and a generator to generate electricity for cooling. It can be used to store drinks, food, and fish caught.
Li Du didn't like fishing very much before. He didn't know the entertainment of fishing. He just sat there and finished the rod, which looked very boring.
But now that he got on the fishing machine, he understood that this is really a good leisure activity, especially when using the fishing machine, he can get something without doing it himself. It's really leisure!
