Chapter 1130 Hai Tai Sui
Glen and Kent are the most southeastern counties in England, and once had the title of the Garden of England.
However, since the 19th century, the environment here has become very bad. From paper mills to many mining areas and cement factories, the rivers, trees, and the only small ridge in the county have all been ruined.
Even though most of the factories and mines have been annexed and closed in recent years, the English government has not invested any money in this to improve the situation, so the situation here can be imagined.
There are many castles of all sizes in Kent, some are not small, and some are very small. The smallest castle is not even as big as a two-entry courtyard in the Forty-Nine City, but most of them are dilapidated and desolate.
Only those aristocratic castles with successors and some castles with status and value in history are well maintained, or repaired.
However, 95% of these places are private territories. In order to maintain their so-called face, those aristocrats will never open them to ordinary people to visit at will unless they are at their wits' end.
As for the castles that the English government repaired, most of them are used by relevant units and relevant people. Currently, only Rochester Castle has opened a small part to the public.
Why are the manors of the powerful and wealthy people now placed near the sea? Because the environment and supporting facilities here are simply incomparable to other places in Kent.
Those who have visited mining areas and cement factories and other infrastructure factories know that the road is full of big and small pits caused by vehicles, and the air is always filled with powder produced by mining areas and factories. This situation can be said to be a terrible batch.
So Han Li and Zhang Manyu felt very bad at the beginning of the journey. The environment and road conditions were bad. If it weren't for the Land Rover Defender Jeep, it would probably take many times to find someone to tow the car along the way.
Finally, Han Li decided to walk along the seaside, where the road conditions are good and the air is fresh.
The two drove the jeep along the coastal road from the north to the south of Kent.
The whole Kent County is not very big, so Han Li was not in a hurry on the road. He ate, played and rested when he needed to.
If he wanted to stay in a hotel, he would stay in a hotel. If he didn't want to stay in a hotel, he would check the performance of the shock absorber and spring leaf of this Land Rover Defender.
Although we were walking along the coastal highway, there were really not many good beaches along the way.
Most of the beaches that were very suitable for playing were enclosed by the dignitaries and businessmen in their own territories.
The remaining ones were mostly "seaside" with gravel and reefs everywhere, or coastlines that ordinary people could hardly set foot on.
So, once Han Li and Zhang Manyu encountered a good beach, the two of them put on swimsuits and went to play in the sea for a while.
However, Han Li and his friends only played in the sea twice along the way.
Swimsuits, swimming trunks, beaches in the wilderness, and free sea, this situation will definitely happen some things that everyone likes to see.
Han Li felt very fresh about this process in the sea, but it was really not very good in terms of senses and feelings.
In addition, they have been walking along the seashore, and there is no decent scenery along the way.
Kent County is not like the future with gardens and parks everywhere.
When Han Li and Zhang Manyu don't want to hurry, they go to the seashore to play. There are really a lot of seafood that can be picked up here.
There are crabs, clams, conchs, kelp, and scallops. Han Li and his friends just need to rush ahead of the seabirds and pick out the ones they like from these seafoods to bring back.
There is also a kind of seaweed that looks very disgusting and is called "mermaid's hair" in the local area. The food made from this thing is said to sell well in the Little Red Dot Restaurant.
At this time, Kent County has no regulations prohibiting casually making fires on the beach, so Han Li and his friends will turn them into a dish by themselves after playing with the sea.
The two of them had a picnic on the beach, drank wine, blew the sea breeze, and chatted while looking at the stars.
During this time, they measured the speed of the robin's call in the sea breeze, or checked the shock absorption of the jeep. In short, their daily life was very fulfilling and comfortable.
This afternoon, Han Li and Zhang Manyu stopped early at a beach full of reefs. They planned to spend the night here.
Because this kind of place is not suitable for ordinary people to go to the sea, they will fall and scratch themselves if they are not careful.
So Han Li asked Zhang Manyu to boil water on the roadside, and he carried a net bag and went to the reefs on the coast.
When he went to the sea with Zhang Manyu, Han Li did not cheat in order to keep everyone's fun.
Now he is alone, and in this place, of course, he will do whatever is easy and trouble-free.
When Han Li arrived at the beach, the first thing he did was to support his mental strength.
Han Li's current spiritual power coverage range has reached 14.36 meters after Zhang Manyu voluntarily added 0.1 meters, and Alien Queen Sigourney Weaver enthusiastically helped to add 0.05 meters.
Within this range, the crabs and octopuses hidden in the cracks of the rocks, and the oysters and abalone attached to the reefs have nowhere to hide.
Han Li only needs to pick the seafood he likes and walk over to grab them into the net bag.
The main course tonight was mutton, bread and vegetables that Han Li and his friends bought in a town they passed by. Seafood was just an additional dish, so Han Li planned to just grab a little and go back.
But just as Han Li stood up and was about to go back, a large mass of familiar things appeared within the range of his mental power.
Han Li was very familiar with the texture and shape of this thing, and it was its credit that the vast peach garden appeared in Han Li's decomposition space.
This large mass of things should be Tai Sui. It looks a bit like a rock at the moment. If Han Li hadn't used his mental power to detect it, he might not have noticed it.
But is there Tai Sui in sea water? Han Li didn't know about this.
The Emperor's Internal Classic and Compendium of Materia Medica only introduce three kinds of Tai Sui: earth, stone and water. Could it be that the water Tai Sui includes two kinds of Tai Sui: fresh water and sea water? This requires Han Li to get it into the decomposition space to know.
Han Li came to this "sea Tai Sui" and reached out to touch it. It was soft and elastic, and felt similar to the water Tai Sui he had found at the beginning.
This large mass of sea taisui was attached to the rocks on the seabed. Judging from its rock-like body and the color of its current appearance, it should have been here for quite some time, and it must have weighed a lot, but it was impossible to estimate how many pounds it weighed.
Han Li first took out a big knife from the decomposition space, cut off all the parts of the sea taisui exposed above the water surface and put them into the decomposition space.
Then he took off his clothes and dived down, all the way to the bottom, and used the knife to get all the sea taisui that were touching the rocks off without leaving any and put them in.
Han Li floated to the surface, put on his clothes, and invested his mental power into the decomposition space.
Seeing that the sea taisui that he had divided into several parts and put them in was now slowly merging into the vast peach garden, just like the stone, soil, and water taisui before.
Seeing this situation, Han Li basically confirmed that the mass of things was the "taisui in the sea".
Whether it will eventually evolve into fresh water or seawater in the vast peach garden can only be known after it is completely integrated into it. This process can take as short as one month or as long as three months.
Han Li then thought, since there is a pile of sea tadpoles here, are there any other companions nearby?
So, Han Li took the net bag and walked around carefully.
It is a pity that Han Li went around the entire reef beach and finally did not find the second sea tadpoles.
Because of the appearance of sea tadpoles, the author skipped the dinner between Han Li and Zhang Manyu and the night interaction.
In the following days, whenever Han Li went to the beach to catch the sea and play in the water, he would definitely support his mental strength.
Before the two of them reached the southernmost part of Kent, Han Li still could not find another piece of sea tadpoles.
Today, Han Li and Zhang Manyu are now at the southernmost part of Kent, which is the shore of the English Channel. Hong Kong people like to call this place the English Channel.
Because this strait is across the sea from France, the shortest distance is only 21 miles (about 34 kilometers), so the French call it the English Channel.
[In February 1987, England and France signed the "Canterbury Treaty", and a submarine channel across the English Channel and connecting the two lands was built here with private funds.
The starting stations are Dover Port in England and Calais Port in France. The construction period of this submarine channel lasted more than eight years.
It was officially opened to traffic on May 7, 1994. The investor also started to collect tolls from this day, and they are still collecting tolls in the 22nd century. They have made a fortune from this investment. 】
No matter what the strait is called, it is one of the busiest international straits in the world, and is praised by people in Western Europe as the "Silver Channel".
(In the eyes of Western Europeans, the Strait of Malacca, known as the crossroads of the Far East Sea, is the Golden Channel.)
This is not only an important location for England to connect to Western Europe, but also an important port for England to become one of the great powers.
In those years, the English made their fortunes by some actions in this strait. Later, the actions became bigger and bigger, defeating the Sea Coachman and becoming the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, England also established a naval base in Plymouth, Devon, next to Kent, to guard this strait and the dock.
Now, the daily cargo throughput of the port here is quite amazing, and there are also many factories opened by the English.
On the sea and the dock There are patrol boats of the Royal Coast Guard, as well as ferries and cargo ships of various models coming in and out.
Therefore, the small town called Dover, which is close to the passenger and cargo port, was severely bombed by Germany at the beginning, but after repairs and expansion, the various facilities are now very complete.
In some streets and alleys, as long as you have money, you can even enjoy better treatment than London, and you can buy things that you can't buy elsewhere, including.
If Han Li hadn't been accompanied by Zhang Manyu, he would definitely go to those small shops to see what rare things are being sold.
This place called Dover is a mixed town, with thieves and robberies emerging in an endless stream.
The famous building Dover Castle in the surrounding area is now under the jurisdiction of the Royal English Army because of its advantageous strategic location. Ordinary people will be warned if they even get close to it, let alone go in to take a look.
At present, there is basically nothing fun to do near the small town of Dover except the steep white cliff.
Han Li and Zhang Manyu drove there to take some photos. After playing here for a morning, they returned to the town and found a high-end hotel to stay.
After the two of them checked into the hotel, the first thing they did was to wash off the dust on their bodies.
However, during the bathing process, because of some things, Zhang Manyu bathed twice more than Han Li.
Now Han Li finished his bath, holding a teacup and sitting by the window, looking at the dock in the distance, began to think about the next itinerary.
The distance from Joseph's manor to Dover is very close. If you take the main road, it will only take two or three hours to drive if you keep pressing the accelerator.
But Han Li and Zhang Manyu were basically playing all the time, wasting more than two days, but there were still more than three days before everyone agreed to return to Joseph's manor.
Zhang Manyu had a lot of fun along the way, and the smile on her face basically never fell.
However, Han Li didn't want to go out for the remaining days. He wanted
