Chapter 1444 1427. Ice Skating (45)
After seeing Yang Ge off, Wang Bo was about to leave, but Li Xing motioned him to wait a moment, then took out a small box and handed it to him.
"What's inside? It's still mysterious." Wang Bo asked. He opened the box and saw two small tubes of different lengths inside.
He was startled when he saw the black pipe: "Damn it, muffler?!"
Many people in New Zealand protested that the country did not do anything about the proliferation of guns. There were more protests, and the New Zealand government took action and began to control the sales of silencers.
It is really a weak country without diplomacy. The proliferation of guns in New Zealand is not due to government inaction, but major European and American arms manufacturers are influencing their decisions.
Because the Maori are brave and fierce, they are martial and powerful, so this country has never strictly controlled civilian weapons in history.
European and American arms manufacturers entered their market early, and now that New Zealand is their farmland, why are they willing to close the farmland and stop harvesting?
These weapons manufacturers do not only have firearms and weapons, such as Lockheed Martin Group, they are also the world's top aircraft manufacturers.
New Zealand's military and civil aviation both use Lockheed Martin products. Under such circumstances, certain government decisions will inevitably be affected by them, no matter how strong the influence is, but it will always be affected.
The government managed it all the time, and finally managed a silencer. It is not easy to buy a silencer now.
In the hearts of most Chinese people, gun silencers are mainly associated with killer gangs, killing people silently, and it is good to ban them.
In fact, this is not the case at all. In New Zealand, it is ordinary people who need silencers.
Because except for a few big cities, New Zealanders in other places live very scattered, so that they can occasionally shoot two shots at the open space to practice their skills.
However, there will be noise when shooting, and the gunshots are loud, which can easily disturb neighbors or be misunderstood.
However, the government has become stricter on the control of silencers. This is the result of everyone's protests. In the end, gun enthusiasts can only suffer from this dumb loss.
That's why Wang Bo was surprised when he saw the muffler. He didn't expect Li Xing to get this thing.
Li Xing smiled and said: "Use it with confidence, it's legal. When I bought gun accessories, I negotiated with the boss and got four silencers. Here are two for you, one for a pistol and one for a rifle, and one for the monkey. I kept a pistol."
Wang Bo nodded and said, "OK."
What was delivered more than ten days ago was mainly firearms, and the accessories were just bought. In fact, weapon accessories are also a big expense.
From optical sights, school scopes, to various firearm accessories, as well as various ammunition, holsters, backpacks, hanging rings, belts, coats, helmets, goggles, earphones, walkie-talkies, suitcases, shoes, boxes, etc.
That's not all, if the gunner wants to reload himself, there is also a variety of primers, bullets, propellants and reloading tools and scales for sale here.
Of course, cleaning agents, gun oil, and various brushes for cleaning guns are also essential.
The weather in New Zealand is extremely cold this year. Although there is no more snow after the heavy snowfall, the temperature has dropped drastically.
Last winter, the old professors worried that the freshwater corals would freeze to death, so Lao Wang moved to the hot spring area.
Fortunately, it was moved at that time, and this winter was colder than last year. Last year, the activity of freshwater corals was only reduced. This year, the lake water is frozen, and it is estimated that it will directly freeze to death.
Except for the hot spring area, the edges of Lake Hawea are frozen, and the ice is quite thick.
As soon as Wang Bo went to work, someone called the police, saying that some children were seen skating on the lake.
Lao Wang saw that it was okay, so he drove over with Atulu to have a look.
It was cold and windy when we went out. The Maori man shrank his neck and muttered, "How long has it been since New Zealand has been this cold? It must have been twenty years?"
Wang Bo said: "I see weather experts say that this is a good sign. The impact of the El Niño phenomenon on New Zealand is fading away. During the Little Ice Age, New Zealand was a place covered in ice."
Atulu said: "Then I hope the summer will not be so hot, damn it, to be honest, I don't mind being colder, but the summer is too hot for me, and neither can my wife."
"Then tell your wife to lose weight, fat people must not be able to stand the heat." Wang Bo said.
The big Maori man smiled and shook his head: "I don't want to die early."
They got in the car, and the car drove to the lake. Wang Bo saw the little girl in a pink down jacket skating happily on the ice.
Seeing this, he quickly shouted: "Dai'er, didn't you go to school?"
Little Lolita was terrified when she heard the voice, and hurried to the depths of the lake. But the surface of the lake was too slippery, and she fell down after only two steps.
Old Wang was even more terrified, and shouted: "Okay, okay, I won't punish you this time, don't run in, be careful that the ice layer breaks!"
Besides Little Lolita, there were about a dozen other children. When they saw Wang Bo appear, they were also prepared to disperse.
Old Wang was very worried that the ice would break due to the pressure, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to arrest you and go back to school."
"Then why are you here?" A group of children looked at him vigilantly, like a little rabbit warily watching a big bad wolf.
Lao Wang looked at Atulu and said, "We are here to skate with you."
Atulu shook his head vigorously: "Don't, boss, I won't go down. With my weight, I might break the ice surface after going down."
The little Lolita stopped running, looked at him suspiciously and said, "Really, brother-in-law, you like to lie the most, are you really here to play?"
Wang Bo said angrily: "What do you mean I like to lie the most? When did my brother-in-law lie?"
"Then come down and play." Ron waved.
When Wang Bo saw a surfboard on the lake, he stepped on it.
Several children also came with surfboards. The fronts of these surfboards were drilled, and they tied them with ropes. Then they took turns dragging the surfboards forward, with children sitting behind them.
Wang Bo laughed when he saw it. He often did this when he was a teenager. His hometown has many lakes and rivers. In winter, when the rivers freeze, they go skating.
That's the only time of year they can skate.
But it stopped in fifth and sixth grade, because a kid fell into a hole in the ice and drowned.
The ice by the lake was thick, Wang Bo stomped his feet and walked in, and then determined the safe range.
He asked Atulu to go back and drive the strong queen to them, and explained to the children: "Dog sledding is interesting. I have won the championship of dog sledding."
"Yes, the mayor did a great job in Alaska." Ron nodded immediately, "My brother also watched your game, and he said you have a lot of fans."
"Then why not sled dogs? Where are the sled dogs?"
Wang Bo thought about it, so he said to Atulu: "Call the store on the mountain side and ask them to send the sled dogs."
