Chapter 1231: Great tower

Zhao Zhongyao also shook the hand of the military leader and smiled and said, "Haha! Yes, I am Zhao Zhongyao, but I am not a famous military expert. Many people don't know me!"
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the military leader smiled and said, "How come! Expert Zhao is so humble. I'm really embarrassed about what happened just now. We didn't know that you came here in a UFO. If so If you know, I will never send a fighter plane to attack you."
After hearing what the military leaders said, Zhao Zhongyao waved his hand and said: "This is nothing, you don't know if you don't fight! You don't know it is me. It is reasonable to regard our flying saucer car as an alien spacecraft. Thing."
Next, Zhao Zhongyao told the military leader that he was out to play. I had long heard that the Eiffel Tower in country F was very famous, but he never came. I want to take a look now.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the military leader looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said: "Expert Zhao, that's it. I also like this Eiffel Tower in our country very much, and I know a lot about the Eiffel Tower. I am now I can be your tour guide and tell you about this Eiffel Tower in our country."
Zhao Zhongyao was very happy after hearing what the military leaders said. He immediately agreed to let him be a tour guide and accompany the family to tour the Eiffel Tower in front of him.
The military leader first looked at the Eiffel Tower in front of him, and introduced some common sense about this Eiffel Tower to Zhao Zhongyao.
In 1880, country F just got rid of the humiliation of the Franco-Prussian War. In order to show the Eiffel’s national power, in 1884, the F’s parliament made a decision: From May 5 to November 6, 1889, F’s Paris will host the World Expo again with the theme Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the victory of the French Revolution. In May 1886, the government of F country launched a global bid for the construction of the World Expo; it designed a tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris. There are two conditions: the tower can attract visitors to buy tickets to visit; it can be easily dismantled after the Expo.
The Eiffel Tower stands on the Champ de Mars in Paris on the south bank of the Seine River. It was completed in 1889 and was the tallest building in the world at that time. The Eiffel Tower is named after the famous architect and structural engineer Gustav Eiffel who designed it, and it was all built by Schneider Ironware.
The Eiffel Tower is 300 meters high, the antenna is 24 meters high, and the total height is 324 meters. The tower is composed of many scattered steel components-it looks like a pile of model components.
There are 18,038 steel components, weighing 10,000 tons, 7 million holes were drilled, 12,000 metal parts were used, and 2.5 million rivets were used during construction. Except for the four legs which are made of reinforced concrete, the whole body is made of steel, sharing 7,300 tons of wrought iron.
The tower is divided into three floors, 57.6 meters, 115.7 meters, and 276.1 meters above the ground. There are restaurants on the first and second floors, and an observation deck on the third floor. There are 1711 steps from the tower to the top of the tower.
The Eiffel Tower is a world-famous building, one of the cultural symbols of country F, one of the landmarks of Paris, and the tallest building in Paris. Beloved by the F country people as "Iron Lady".
Approximately 6.98 million people visited the Eiffel Tower in 2011, and the cumulative number of visitors in 2010 has exceeded 270 million, bringing annual revenue of 1.5 billion Euros to Paris.
The structure of the Eiffel Tower is both intuitive and concise: the bottom is four huge inclined piers distributed on a 128-meter-long base on each side, with an inclination angle of 54°, and is supported by the first-story platform at a height of 57.63 meters.
Between the first floor platform and the second floor platform at 115.73 meters are four slightly curved uprights; further up four uprights are transformed into an almost vertical, very rigid obelisk, between which is 276.13 There is a third platform at the height of meters.
At a height of 300.65 meters is the tower top platform with a TV antenna. The total iron tower is 10,000 tons, and the weight is 4 solid caisson foundations that extend straight to the underlying soil layer.
The Eiffel Tower is truly a miracle in the history of world architecture. Although it has been standing there for more than a hundred years, it looks like a modern building. Its shape and structure are very scientific and reasonable.
Even the high-voltage transmission line towers that people often design nowadays have found inspiration from the design ideas of the Eiffel Tower, and only then can they design a high-voltage line tower like the Eiffel Tower.
Zhao Zhongyao listened to the introduction of this military leader, and he had a more comprehensive understanding of the iron Eiffel Tower in front of him.
After the military leader explained to Zhao Zhongyao about the construction history of the Eiffel Tower and some common sense about the tower itself, he took Zhao Zhongyao and his family to the first observation deck of the Eiffel Tower.
The observation deck on the first floor is the largest platform above the iron tower. The inside is very spacious and bright. It is also a place where many tourists are willing to take pictures here.
Standing by Zhao Zhongyao's side, the military leader explained to Zhao Zhongyao about some of the characteristics of the internal structure of the iron tower.
The people of F country said that the Eiffel Tower is "the observatory of the capital", which is indeed the case. It has three observation decks, upper, middle, and lower, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. Each of the three observation decks has a different view and brings different tastes. For a century, about 3 million people have climbed to the top of the tower every year, overlooking the city of Paris, awe-inspiring.
The highest observation deck is 274 meters above the ground. If you go up the 1652 steps, it will take about an hour. Of course, you can also use an elevator to ascend. It is the best place to look from afar. It will make people feel that the noisy Paris suddenly quieted down and turned into a huge map, with countless lines of different widths and narrows drawn by the streets and alleys.
All of Paris is at your feet. When the vision is clear during the day, you can see it 60 kilometers away. The middle observation deck is 115 meters above the ground. Some people say that you can see the best view from this floor.
Indeed, the pale yellow Arc de Triomphe tower, the Louvre in the green shade, and the white Montmartre Sacred Heart Church are all clearly visible and colorful. When you climb the tower in the evening, you can see that the night is picturesque, the lights are like brocades, and the green trees reflect the trees. The street lights that are intertwined like a net are really like a net of beads after the rain, and the grains are shining.
There is also a well-decorated panoramic restaurant on this floor, which is filled with customers all year round, and seats must be reserved in advance. The lowest observation deck has the largest area and is quite spacious, with various service facilities such as conference halls, movie halls, restaurants, shops and post offices.
Among the people who shuttled back and forth, they seemed to be in a busy city, forgetting that it was 57 meters above all. It is ideal to watch the close-up view from here. The Charlotten Palace in the north and its splashing fountain, the quiet water of the Seine at the foot of the tower, the large lawn of the Ares School to the south and the ancient buildings of the French Military Academy constitute an unforgettable landscape.
Accompanied by this military leader, Zhao Zhongyao visited the three observation decks of the Eiffel Tower. Seeing the entire city environment of Paris, I feel very beautiful and charming.
One day passed quickly. After visiting the entire iron tower, Zhao Zhongyao wanted to go back, and the military leader wanted Zhao Zhongyao to go to other scenic spots in Country F again. After all, country F is also a developed country and has many scenic spots.
It's just that Zhao Zhongyao doesn't want to play more here. After all, the world is so big and there are so many people who want to go. Can only choose some very famous tourist attractions to travel, those less famous tourist attractions, will not go to travel for the time being.
The military leader heard from Zhao Zhongyao that they did not want to stay here for a few more days. He said that he wanted Zhao Zhongyao to stay at a nearby hotel for one night, and it would not be too late to return home tomorrow.
However, Zhao Zhongyao told the military leader: "Our flying saucer car is very fast. It only takes a few tens of minutes to get back to our home. Why go to a hotel outside!
The military leader heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, and felt that it made sense, so he stopped staying. Just tell Zhao Zhongyao that in the future, if you want to travel to Country F, you can come to him directly. He is happy to continue to be a tour guide for the Zhao Zhongyao family.
Zhao Zhongyao saw that the military leader was very polite to them, and he also expressed his gratitude to others. After that, Zhao Zhongyao drove the UFO with his wife and children and flew back to his country together.
When Zhao Zhongyao returned home, it was almost night. After all, the tourist destination for this day is Country F, which is more than 7,000 kilometers away. If it were not for a UFO car, it would take ten and a half months for a trip!
But with a high-tech aircraft like a flying saucer car, even within a day, you can travel to any country in the world. This is very convenient and unimaginable by ordinary people.
After Zhao Zhongyao returned home, he went to the hotel outside to have a meal with his wife and children. After all, after playing for a day, everyone feels a little tired and doesn't want to make dinner anymore.
After dinner, the family returned home from the hotel.
For this day's travel, Qu Yuqian felt it was very fun. Feifei and Tiantian are the same, but it is their first time to go to a foreign country. It is still very exciting to go to the Eiffel Tower in Country F.
Back home after dinner, the two little guys just chatted endlessly, that is, what they saw and heard today. After all, today’s experience is very fun for the two children who have never been abroad.
Zhao Zhongyao was very happy to see the two children, talking together about what they saw and heard today, all of them were dancing with joy. So he said to the two children: "Flying to the sky, you two visited the Eiffel Tower today, how do you feel? Is it fun?"
The two children laughed together after hearing what the father said. The two said in unison: "Of course it's fun."
"Well, you two wait a while and write an essay on what you saw and heard today. The title of this essay is called "Eiffel Tower Travels". After you write it, let me see it. Let me see how you two’s literary talents are. Playing is for fun, but this learning thing is not to be forgotten. Now I can take you out to play, but every time you visit a place, you must take what you see and hear Write it down and write an essay. This is also the summer homework I gave to you two." Zhao Zhongyao said while looking at the two children.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the two children looked at each other. Although I feel a little unhappy. However, this is not a difficult thing to accomplish. For academic masters like Feifei and Tiantian, writing an essay is naturally not difficult.
"Okay, let's write now. I must write better than my sister." Feifei looked proud when he heard what his father said.
But every day is not convinced: "Brother, let's compare it! Although your math scores are better than mine every time. But your Chinese scores don't seem to be very good! There have been several times, my Chinese scores They are better than you in the test. The composition score is more than you. This time you compete with me to write the essay, I think you will definitely lose to me."
"Haha, okay, let's try it out." Feifei looked unconvinced after hearing what her sister said.
"Compared, who is afraid of who." Tiantian also looked confident.
After the two children had finished speaking, they stopped discussing today's travel affairs, but began to go to the study, took out their ballpoint pens and made texts, and began to write essays.
Qu Yuqian looked at the two children's competitive vigorous look, so Zhao Zhongyao said in vain: "Husband, you are deliberately making the two children happy! Let them compete vigorously, you are here to have fun. ."
"Is this all for the children's learning! Feifei and Tiantian are already in their second year of high school and are about to enter their third year of high school. How can we make them playful! We are now taking them out to play, just to improve their writing skills? They can’t just let them play, in that case, they will want to play more and more instead of learning! This learning requires interest, and this interest must always be maintained! If it is three days of fishing Tiansha.com, even if they are interested in learning at the beginning, they will gradually lose their interest in learning."
When Zhao Zhongyao was in school, he was also a veritable academic bully. He knew very well that this study requires interest. If there is no interest, there will be no motivation to learn, and naturally it will be difficult to learn.
People are like this, no matter what they do, they all need interest. If there is no interest at all, then how can one thing be done well? As long as there is interest, no matter how difficult it is, you can do it well.
Zhao Zhongyao is now letting the two children write essays, which is to cultivate their interest in writing. Combining traveling and learning to write is also a very useful learning method, which can be extended to some other children so that they have such interest in learning.
