Chapter 509 497. Picking up Fish in the River (35)

Picking up the fish is a matter for the future, and the current thing to do is to visit, and someone will pick them up. Marop took these people into the hydropower station.

As he walked, he introduced: "This hydropower station does not rely on natural water drop to generate electricity, but uses seven penstocks with a length of 180 meters and a diameter of 4 meters to divert water vertically from the lake to the ground, and then pass through the factory building. The 7 vertical shaft Francis turbines pump water up to supply the generator."

As he said that, Marop asked his friend to open a door. He took a picture with a wolf-eyed flashlight, and there were large machines running inside, and there was something strange inside.

"Be careful, don't fall." A rancher joked, pushing and pulling the people around him.

Marop's friend said seriously: "Be careful, don't play here. The power of the machine below is 106,000-kilowatts. Once it falls, although there is a protective layer, it will not be fatal, but it will definitely cause serious injuries!"

"Come on, keep going down, and I'll take you to see the generator." Marop was more kind. He saw that the atmosphere was a little dignified, so he changed his sightseeing route.

The rated power of the generator here is 100,000 kVA, the rated voltage is 13,000 volts, and it can generate 6.4 billion kilowatts per year.

Wang Bo now knows why New Zealand's water and electricity prices are so cheap. The country has a small population and a lot of resources. No wonder people say that if you choose New Zealand when you reincarnate, you choose the difficulty of customs clearance.

The most spectacular part of the power station is the two tailwater tunnels, each of which is ten kilometers long and ten meters wide, which can transport part of the extracted water directly to the Deepkov Sea Estuary, and then flow into the sea.

The construction of this hydropower station started in 1964. The hydropower engineer in charge of maintenance knew that Wang Bo was Chinese, so he specially invited him to visit the honor room.

It turns out that this hydropower station still has the shadow of the Chinese. Not long after the diplomatic relations between China and New Zealand, China aided engineers to help New Zealand design this power station. When the second tailrace tunnel was built in 1997, the color of Chinese technology was even stronger. Concentrated, many phases of the project are in charge of China's water conservancy construction company.

Wang Bo asked Eva to help take a few photos, and then posted them on Weibo and Moments, writing: Chinese technology, Chinese strength, and Chinese pride.

In fact, there is nothing to visit in the hydropower station, mainly to see something fresh.

This lake is most suitable for fishing. Some residents and tourists go boating on the lake to fish for brown trout. Marop said that this is a trout fishing paradise for fly fishing enthusiasts, with abundant fishing resources.

They didn't bring any fishing tackle and couldn't fish, so Marop led them on and walked through the dam to the bank of the Huai'ao River to pick up fish.

When walking down from the dam, Wang Bo saw a big fish with the length of an arm fall down. Then he looked hard and saw the fish fell into the water and floated on it, apparently fainted.

Seeing this, he said regretfully: "It's a pity that we didn't bring the strong men here, otherwise we could have harvested a large number of fish."

He originally wanted to bring the young men with him, but the queen and Xiao Wang were jealous because they had brought the young men with them when they returned to China, and when they boarded the plane, they also squeezed up, and they whined and howled wronged when they were not allowed to come up.

Later, Eva had no choice but to take the little fat cat brother with her, and the young man stayed at home with the queen and Xiao Wang.

The upper reaches of the Huai'ao River were turbulent. They stood by the river and wanted to take pictures. The water waves kept coming out, and they got wet before they knew it.

Marop took them down and told them that the water vapor and humidity by the river were too heavy, especially if it was raining today, and they would get wet after a while in such weather.

Going down the river, there is not even a mountain road here, so they had to explore the road carefully, and encountered a herd of red deer and a few fat birds on the road.

Wang Bo had never seen that kind of fat bird before, so he pointed out his fingers curiously, but everyone burst into laughter, saying that it was the national bird of New Zealand, the kiwi, a big bird that the aborigines had seen since childhood.

The name of the kiwi bird comes from their call. Their English name is 'kiwi', which is also the English name of the natives of New Zealand. When foreigners come to New Zealand, they generally call New Zealanders KIWI.

Wang Bo knew this a long time ago, and Kiwi's name is also impressive, but he has never met each other.

New Zealand used to be a paradise for birds, but after the white man landed, a large number of birds were driven to extinction. The kiwi is not extinct, but it is rare now.

Walking down the river, fish began to appear on the surface of the water. Someone stepped on the water and picked up a rainbow trout more than 20 centimeters long. Marop found a green vine through the gills of the fish and asked him to carry it, saying that at noon Fish can be grilled in the wild.

They came to a flat beach with slow water flow, and several boats parked on the shore. Marop motioned for them to come up: "Don't you want to pick up fish? The opportunity has come."

These boats were the ones they saw earlier. The owner had already left, and the boats were left here, casually tied to the tree trunks by the river, without any fear of being stolen.

Most New Zealanders know how to row. This is a coastal country. Wang Bo is better at rowing. From childhood to adulthood, rowing is no problem at sea, let alone a freshwater river.

He and Eva took a boat, a wooden sampan boat four or five meters long, which was easy to maneuver.

Fish floating on the river can be seen from time to time, but not all of them are dizzy, some just surfaced to catch their breath because of the dull weather.

A rancher was rowing a boat, raised his eyebrows when passing by Wang Bo, and said, "Come on, Wang, let's compare and see who catches more fish?"

Wang Bo laughed loudly and said, "I don't want to bully you, Gormond, but if you compare me with Lai, you really picked the wrong person."

Gormon was a burly rancher. He was very unconvinced and said, "Then come and try? Half an hour is the time limit. Whoever loses will prepare the firewood for lunch?"

Wang Bo made a gentleman's salute and said, "As you wish, let's start!"

Their boat happened to meet a big fish floating on the water with its belly turned white, and Eva hurried to grab it.

These fish are very slippery. They decided to catch fish on the spur of the moment. They had no tools such as nets and could only catch them with bare hands, so it was very difficult.

Eva took two handfuls, the fish slipped away, and Gormond, his wife and son laughed, looking as if they were winning.

Patting her forehead in distress, Eva also laughed. She took Er Pang's nape of the neck and put it on the fish. Er Pang's claws were very sharp. Holding it, he easily lifted the fish up.

This time, Gormon and the others were dumbfounded.
