    In the next few days, Qin Shiou concentrated on practicing the 15-kilometer long-distance swimming. His time entered four hours during the first practice, and he was able to swim for three and a half hours when he was in the best condition.

    Butler rushed to Japan with a 900-pound tuna. When the fish appeared, it caused a sensation in Tokyo.

    The tuna market in Japan is sluggish this year. Fish over 500 pounds are considered big fish, and fish over 800 pounds are rarely seen. As soon as this 900-pound bluefin tuna appears, its identity as the king of fish is almost confirmed.

    What excites Tokyo seafood merchants is not only the weight of this fish, but also its meat quality. The fat content of this fish has set a historical record, and is of higher quality than the big fish brought by Qin Shiou last year. The auction price is expected to be  It is also only high but not low.

    Qin Shiou didn¡¯t pay much attention to this issue. On March 10th, he took his family and little guys like tigers, leopards, bears and wolves by boat to Prince Edward Island to prepare for this competition.

    The Farewell sailed quickly, cutting through the wind and waves, and arrived at the Northumberland Strait the day before the competition.

    When we arrived at the strait, it happened to be early in the morning. Qin Shiou stood on the deck and scanned the surroundings. He first saw the famous Canadian Confederation Bridge.

    The Confederation Bridge is another great and glorious feat of Canada's challenge and conquest of nature after the Pacific Railway. It connects Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick and is a giant cross-sea bridge.

    This bridge is long and slender, with a majestic shape, but its lines are extremely graceful and stretched. To use a common Chinese saying, it is like a giant dragon hovering on the sea.

    As the sun rises, the sun shines on the sea and on the bridge, adding to the charm.

    Qin Shiou searched on his mobile phone and found that this bridge is 12.9 kilometers long and is currently the longest bridge crossing ice-covered waters in the world.  Its completion and opening to traffic completely changed Prince Edward Island's isolation from the world for thousands of years, and is recognized by the world as Canada's greatest project in the 20th century.

    For Prince Edward Island, the Confederation Bridge has now become a bridge of life. Before the bridge was built, transportation between the island and the outside world relied entirely on ferries and airplanes.

    In order to overcome the transportation barrier with mainland Canada, the provincial government of Prince Edward Island proposed to the federal government in the 1980s the construction of an undersea tunnel or a cross-sea bridge.

    This incident almost led to civil unrest in Prince Edward Island, because some island residents were worried that once the cross-sea transportation facility was completed, it would seriously damage the island's "original ecology" and disrupt their peaceful lifestyle.

    Another group of residents supports the construction of undersea tunnels or cross-sea bridges to improve their "isolated" living conditions.

    Two completely different views once dominated violent clashes between their supporters. Later, after the provincial government suppressed it with force, it decided to resolve the issue through a referendum on the island, and a referendum was held on January 18, 1988.

    The final result was that 59.4% voted in favor of building the cross-sea bridge. The project started in 1993, invested 5,000 labor and 1 billion US dollars in funds, and was completed and opened to traffic on May 31, 1997, achieving this great achievement.

    The choice of the Northumberland Strait for the charity race also has a meaning. The Confederation Bridge is the spirit of the race, symbolizing the participants' unyielding faith in fighting poverty, disease, and despair.

    Shaq walked out of the cab. When he saw Qin Shiou looking at the bridge in amazement, he said: "Boss, you'd better take a look at it more. It will be a beacon to guide you in swimming during the competition. If  If you find that you are getting farther across the bridge, you have to adjust your swimming route."

    Qin Shiou nodded. When the yacht passed under the bridge, he looked up and saw four big flags fluttering in the sea breeze. They were the Canadian flag, the Prince Edward Island flag, the New Brunswick flag and the Confederation Bridge.  flag.

    Wei Ni saw that he had been looking at the bridge in a trance, and asked: "What are you looking at? Is this the first time you see such a spectacular bridge?"

    Qin Shiou said: "No, I am thinking about one thing, that is, should our Farewell Island imitate Prince Edward Island and build such a cross-sea bridge?"

    Winnie was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Are you kidding me? Prince Edward Island has an area of ??6,000 square kilometers, ranking 104th in the world and 23rd in Canada. What about Farewell Island?  ?¡±

    Qin Shiou shrugged and said: "Farewell Island is also very large, it must be four to five hundred square kilometers, right?"

    Wei Ni looked at his expression carefully and said with a horrified look: "Are you serious?"

    The Confederation Bridge looks majestic, but in fact it is only more than ten kilometers long.How far is the island from St. Johns?  More than eighty kilometers!  The Confederation Bridge, which is more than ten kilometers long, cost one billion in the last century. What about the bridge which is more than eighty kilometers long?

    The more Wei Ni thought about it, the more frightened she became. She was about to persuade Qin Shiou to give up this unrealistic idea, but Qin Shiou burst out laughing and said, "Are you really serious? I'm mentally retarded. How could I want to build a building worth dozens of dollars?"  A kilometer-long bridge?¡±

    Distance is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is value. The population density of Prince Edward Island is twenty-five people per square kilometer. This is the highest population density among Canadian provinces. What about Farewell Island?  On average, there are four or five people per square kilometer

    Qin Shiou came to Prince Edward Island in advance, not only to familiarize himself with the competition field, but also to have fun here.

    Prince Edward Island is famous for its beautiful scenery. When Canada introduces each province, the introduction here is: God placed part of the earth he created in the rough Atlantic Ocean, and a beautiful island was formed.

    Among the native Indians, the name of Prince Edward Island is "Abaiguweit", which means "the cradle floating on the waves", which shows how beautiful it is.

    In addition to the beautiful scenery, Prince Edward Island also has a place that is proud of Canada, and that is the mild climate.

    The warm waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence make the climate on the islands milder than that of mainland Canada, making up for the year-round humid climate conditions here.

    The summer here is warm and humid, and the temperature generally remains at 20 degrees Celsius, with the highest temperature exceeding 35 degrees Celsius. It is already a very hot place in Canada.

    It was March at this time, and the temperature was still relatively low, swinging around four to five degrees Celsius above zero.  But for Canadians who are used to cold weather, this temperature is enough to wear spring and autumn clothes.

    The Farewell docked at Shanghai Port. When Qin Shiou disembarked, he could still see a few fishermen in cotton-padded clothes on the pier. After entering the city, such outfits became rare.  Both girls and boys have put on spring and autumn clothes. Even if the cold wind blows occasionally and they shiver with cold, they don't care.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
