Chapter 1026
Chapter 1026: 1 circle around the earth
Yang Jing and his wife stayed in New York for two days, then accompanied by a group of bodyguards and secretaries, they drove south.
In the United States, both Yang Jing and his wife have come to the United States many times, and Grid has come to the United States even more times than Yang Jing. However, the couple did not take a self-driving tour across North America in this country, so this time the couple decided to take a few days to take a self-driving tour across North America.
Because of the weather, Yang Jing did not take Grid to the manor on Grand Island. The manor was bought by Yang Jing from the DuPont family. At that time, the eight treasures of Japanese devils in the Philippines. It was also discovered by Yang Jing in the basement of this manor.
But it’s boring to go there at this time. It’s cold and it’s definitely uncomfortable to play outside, even if it’s very close to Niagara Falls.
As a result, the couple set off from New York, went south along the east coast, Philadelphia, Watsonton, turned around, and then ran to Norfolk to look at the home port of the US Navy. They not only saw the Kidd-class guided missile destroyer. , And also saw two aircraft carriers under maintenance.
Continue south from Norfolk to the port city of Savannah in Georgia. This city is known as “the first romantic city in autumn in the United States”. It is just right to come here at this time.
In this city, the young couple saw the first lighthouse on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean-Tybee Island Lighthouse; of course, they did not forget to come to Savannah Street Plaza, which is the second-time Oscar actor Tom Han. The scene where Forrest Gump played by Cox sits on a bench and tells the people who pass by with his tortuous and colorful life experiences.
Continuing south from Savannah, the group came to the world-famous aerospace center Cape Canaveral Launch Center. Through the relationship, the group entered the aerospace center and appreciated the launch pads up close, especially the legendary ones. Space Launch Complex No. 39.
At the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Ka, 39A can be called a “cultural relic level” launch pad. Launch pads 39A and 39B belong to the Kennedy Space Center launch complex 39, which is the only launch pad owned by NASA among the many launch pads at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in the United States. Launch pads 39A and 39B have been operating since the Apollo era. NASA’s launch mission. Especially 39A, occupies an unshakable legendary position in the history of human spaceflight.
The 39A launch pad first performed its mission on November 9, 1967, when a Saturn V rocket was launched on the Apollo 4 spacecraft. The spacecraft was unmanned. This was also the first mission of the Saturn V rocket. In the Apollo era, all manned lunar missions except Apollo 10 were launched from the 39A launch pad. On July 16, 1969, the three astronauts of Apollo 11 on the first lunar landing mission took off from the 39A launch pad. Four days later, Armstrong and Aldrin successfully landed on the moon.
After the advent of the space shuttle era, the 39A launch pad was modified to adapt to the new mission. On April 12, 1981, the Space Shuttle Columbia took off from here with two astronauts for the world’s first space shuttle mission. Six months later, Columbia took off again from launch pad 39A, becoming the world’s first manned space vehicle to be reused. From 1981 to January 1986, the first 24 missions of the US space shuttle took off from launch pad 39A, including the space debuts of the four space shuttles Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis. On July 9, 2011, the space shuttle Atlantis also took off from here, completing the last space shuttle launch mission.
After witnessing the era of Apollo and the space shuttle, launch pad 39A ushered in a new mission. Both Elon Musk’s SpaceX Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets will be launched from launch pad 39A. And starting from this year, that is, in 2020, SpaceX will launch one or two “Red Dragon” spacecraft to Mars every two years. The spacecraft will be sent into space by a heavy Falcon rocket at launch pad 39A.
The legendary 39A will usher in the “Mars Era” in the history of human spaceflight!
After coming out of Kajiao, the couple did not continue southbound. Miami may have an unstoppable attraction for most people, but for these young couples, Miami is the same thing.
After that, the young couple drove northward first. After seeing the main venue of the Atlanta Olympics, they turned westward to Memphis, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, and then arrived at the Grand Canyon National Forest. garden.
If you don’t go to the Colorado Grand Canyon to play in the United States, it is equivalent to not going to the Great Wall in China.
Without seeing this Lower Canyon in person, it is really hard for you to imagine why there is such a magnificent view on the earth!
After two days of playing in the Grand Canyon, the group continued westward, first betting for half the night in Las Vegas, and then preparing to cross the Rocky Mountains the next day. Of course, while crossing the Rocky Mountains, they did not forget to go to the Giant Sequoia National Forest Park they passed by to take a look at the ancient redwood trees.
Before the establishment of this park, the North American redwood forest was felled in large numbers, but this place was miraculously spared. The reason is that the trees here will automatically break into many sections when they fall down, making the wood lack its economic value. As time passed, people stopped coming here to cut trees, and this mangrove forest was preserved.
On June 30, 1864, in order to protect the original appearance of this huge redwood forest, US President Lincoln designated this giant sequoia forest in the Rocky Mountains as a protected area and set it as the first state park in the United States.
Just like the Colorado Grand Canyon before, here, if you don’t see the giant cedar trees in person, it’s really hard to imagine why there are such big trees in the world!
The North American giant sequoia is the thickest of all the trees on the planet. The giant sequoia is not only the largest sequoia, but also the largest and surviving creature on the planet. This huge tree can grow to a height of more than 110 meters, and its diameter at breast height can reach an astonishing 10 meters!
Standing under a giant cedar and looking up at this awesome tree, it’s like a little mouse looking up at an elephant…
Such a huge size, that is definitely the largest living thing on this planet that does my part!
Coupled with this giant sequoia that has a life span of more than two thousand years, so the North American giant sequoia is also known as the “Master of the World”!
There are more than 500 North American giant sequoias in the entire Giant Sequoia National Forest Park. The roots of these huge trees are enough for more than a dozen people to embrace. Some giant cedars have holes in their roots because they are too old, but even the holes in the roots can allow a car to pass easily!
And there are many giant cedars that fell down due to lightning strikes or wildfires. People standing in front of the roots of such fallen giant cedars are like standing in front of a three-story villa, which shows the rhizomes of this giant cedar. How big it is.
When visiting the Giant Sequoia Park, Yang Jing and Ge Ge also encountered an interesting incident. Because of the excellent environmental protection here, some wild animals can often be seen here. When Yang Jing and Gege were holding hands while playing, they met a North American brown bear with two cubs.
For bears, both Yang Jing and Grid love them very much. The fundamental reason is that the polar bear “Big White” encountered when their young couple went to the Arctic to hunt for treasure.
Now Dabai was taken by Yang Jing to Siberia and was released, but he has been missing for a long time, but this also made the young couple very fond of bears.
With the “backfeeding” skill, this mother bear with her little cubs did not escape Yang Jing’s “devil’s clutches.”
Everyone knows that a female bear with a cub is extremely dangerous and irritable. However, under the stunned gaze of a group of people, this female bear behaves like a good daughter who is attached to his father, even Yang. Jing and Grid teased the two little bear cubs, but the female bear didn’t react fiercely.
After playing with the mother and son three bears for a long time, Yang Jing and Ge Ge reluctantly left them. However, looking at the appearance of Mother Bear with the two little bears reluctantly following behind, Yang Jing and Grid were even considering whether to go back to Siberia to find Dabai…
After crossing the Rocky Mountains, the group came to Los Angeles. Old Mike’s Boeing BBJ3 is already waiting at the airport.
Because I only went to South America some time ago, the young couple decided not to go to South America this time, but took a direct flight to New Zealand.
The North Island and South Island of New Zealand are still very beautiful, especially Queenstown, which made the two of them enjoy themselves. Yang Jing has her own mansion in Queenstown, so the couple lived here for three days at one go.
Then when November arrived, the group came to the Great Barrier Reef. Australia has entered early summer at this time, and snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef is absolutely no problem.
After playing in the Great Barrier Reef for two days, Grid said he wanted to see Ayers Rock, so the couple prepared to leave for the southwest corner of the Northern Territory.
However, the distance between Ayers Rock and Townsville is close to 1,800 kilometers, and most of them are no-man’s land along the way, and the two of them have just driven across the North American continent www.readwn.com so they both I don’t want to suffer anymore, but take a direct flight to Alice Springs, a major town in the southern part of the Northern Territory. The city closest to Ayers Rock has an airport runway that allows Boeing BBJ3s to take off and land.
However, after Yang Jing and his party landed smoothly at Alice Springs Airport, they had to drive four hundred kilometers to reach Ayers Rock.
Ayers Rock is 348 meters high and 3000 meters long, with a base circumference of about 9.4 kilometers. It is wide in the east and narrow in the west. It is the largest monolithic rock in the world. That’s right, this rock that looks no different from a hill is actually a whole piece of rock, not a mountain!
Therefore, Ayers Rock is also called “the belly button of the earth”!
After returning from sightseeing in Ayers Rock, the group flew to Kalgoorlie in Western Australia by plane, where they admired the mine that was once the world’s largest gold mine, and then flew back to China from Perth.
This honeymoon trip around the earth took a total of fifty days for the young couple.
