Chapter 497: . Picking up fish in the river (3/5)

Picking fish is a future thing. What we have to do now is to visit. Someone will pick them up. Marlop 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 instead draws water vertically from the lake to the ground through seven 180-meter-long, 4-meter-diameter steel pipes, and then passes through the plant. Seven vertical-shaft Francis turbines pump water up to the generator. "
Then, Marlop asked his friend to open a door, and he took a picture with a wolf-eye flashlight. There was a large machine in operation, and there was no hole in it.
"Be careful, don't fall." A rancher joked, pushing and pulling people around him.
Marlop's friend said seriously: "Be careful, don't play here. The power of the machine below is 106,000-kilowatts. Once it is dropped, although the protective layer will not be fatal, it will definitely cause serious injuries!"
"Come on, keep going down, I'll take you to see the generator." Marlop was kinder, and he saw the atmosphere was a little more dignified, and he changed the way of sightseeing.
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. His mother ’s country has a small population and abundant resources. No wonder people say that if you choose New Zealand when you are pregnant, you have chosen the difficulty of customs clearance.
The most spectacular of the power station are two tailwater tunnels, each of which is ten kilometers long and ten meters wide. It can transport a part of the extracted water directly to the Dipkov seaport and then flow into the sea.
The construction of this hydropower station started in 1964. The hydropower engineer responsible for maintenance learned that Wang Bo was Chinese and specially invited him to visit the honor room.
It turned out that the hydropower station still has the shadow of the Chinese. At the time of China-Singapore diplomatic relations, China assisted engineers to help New Zealand design the power station. When the second tailwater tunnel was built in 1997, Chinese technology was even more colorful. It's thick. The multi-phase project is responsible for China's water conservancy construction company.
Wang Bo asked Eva to help take a few photos, and then sent them to Weibo and the circle of friends, writing: China's science and technology, China's power, China's pride.
In fact, there is nothing to visit at the hydropower station, mainly because it's fresh.
This lake is most suitable for fishing. Some residents and tourists just go fishing on the lake for brown trout. Marlop said that this is a paradise for fly fishing lovers, and it has abundant catch resources.
They did not bring fishing tackle and were unable to fish, so Marlop took them on their way and passed the dam to the banks of the Waiau River to pick up fish.
As he walked down the dam, Wang Bo saw a big fish with a long arm falling down, and then he tried to look down and saw that the fish had drifted on the water after it fell into the water, apparently fainted.
Seeing this, he said without regret: "It is a pity that we did not bring Zhuang Ding, otherwise we can harvest a lot of fish."
He wanted to bring the Zhuang Ding, but the Queen and Xiao Wang were jealous, because they had brought Zhuang Ding back before returning to China, and they squeezed up when they got on the plane.
Later, Eva had no choice but to bring a little fat cat brother, and the strong man stayed at home with the queen and Xiao Wang.
The water in the upper reaches of the Wai'ao River was turbulent. They stood by the river and wanted to take pictures. The water constantly beat them out, and they were wet before they knew it.
Marlop took them down and told them that the water vapor was too much and the humidity was too heavy by the river, especially it was raining today, and the body became wet after a while.
Going down the river, there is no mountain road here, they must carefully explore the road, and they encountered a group of red deer and a few fat birds on the road.
Wang Bo has never seen that kind of fat bird, and curiously stretched his fingers to show his team. As a result, everyone laughed and said that it was New Zealand's national bird, the dimensional bird, and the indigenous people saw a large bird from a young age.
Kiwis get their names from their calls. Their English name is 'kii', which is also the English name of the New Zealand indigenous people. When foreigners come to New Zealand, they usually call Kiwis New Zealanders.
Wang Bo has known this for a long time, and his name is also deafening, but he has never been able to meet.
New Zealand used to be a paradise for the survival of birds, but after white people landed, they drove out a large number of birds and killed them. Kiwi birds are not extinct, but they are rare now.
Walking down the river, fish began to appear on the water. Someone stepped on the water and picked up a rainbow trout more than twenty centimeters long. Marlop found an ivy through the gills and asked him to carry it. You can eat it in the wild.
They arrived on a flat beach with slow currents, and several boats stopped at the shore. Marlop suggested that they could come up, "Don't you want to pick up fish? The opportunity is here."
These boats were what they saw before. The owner had left, and the boat remained here, tied to the trunk of the river at will, without any fear of being stolen.
Most New Zealanders can row boats. This is a coastal country. Wang Bo is more adept at rowing, from small to large, not to mention just a freshwater river, even at sea.
He and Eva took a boat, a wooden stern boat of four or five meters in length that was easy to maneuver.
From time to time, you can see the fish floating on it, but not all of them are dizzy. Some are just because the weather is dull and they emerge from the water to catch their breath.
A rancher rowed a boat, raised his eyebrows as he passed by Wang Bo, and said, "Wang, come, compare with one, and see who has more fish?"
Wang Bohaha laughed: "I don't want to bully you, Gormont, but if you compare with me, you are really picking the wrong person."
Gormont was a sturdy rancher. He was very unconvinced and said, "Let's try it? Half an hour is the time limit. Whoever loses will prepare firewood for noon cooking?"
Wang Bo made a gentleman's showcasing, saying, "If you wish, start!"
Their boat just reached a big fish whose belly turned white and floated on the water. Eva hurried to grab it.
These fish are very slippery. They decided to catch them temporarily. Without tools such as net bags, they can only catch them empty-handed, so it is difficult.
Eva grabbed two, and the fish slipped away. Gormont and his wife and son laughed and looked like they were in control.
She patted her forehead in distress, and Eva smiled. She was holding the fat of the back of the neck and put it on the fish. With it, the fish was easily lifted up.
At this moment, Gormont and others were stunned. (To be continued.)
