</> Picking up fish is something that will happen in the future. What we need to do now is visit. Someone will come to pick them up. Malop takes these people into the hydropower station.
As he walked, he introduced: "This hydropower station does not rely on the natural water drop to generate electricity. Instead, it uses seven 180-meter-long and 4-meter-diameter pressure steel pipes to divert water vertically downward from the lake to the ground, and then through the factory building. 7 vertical-axis Francis turbines pump water up to supply to the generator."
As he said that, Marop asked his friend to open a door. He looked down with a wolf-eye flashlight. There were large machines running inside, and there was a hidden world inside.
"Be careful, don't fall." A rancher joked, pushing and pulling 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 it will not be fatal due to the protective layer, it will definitely cause serious injuries!"
"Come on, keep going down, I'll take you to see the generator." Marop was relatively kind. He saw that the atmosphere was getting a little serious, so he changed the sightseeing route.
The generator here has a rated power of 100,000 kva, a rated voltage of 13,000 volts, and can generate 6.4 billion kilowatts of electricity every year.
Wang Bo now understood why the water and electricity prices in New Zealand were so cheap. This country has a small population and a lot of resources. No wonder people say that if you choose New Zealand when you are reincarnated, you will choose the difficulty of passing customs.
The most spectacular thing about the power station are the two tailrace tunnels, each of which is ten kilometers long and ten meters wide. They can transport part of the extracted water directly to the Dipkov Sea estuary and then flow into the sea.
The construction of this hydropower station began in 1964. The hydropower engineer responsible for maintenance learned that Wang Bo was Chinese and specially invited him to visit the honor room.
It turns out that this hydropower station still has Chinese influence. Not long after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and New Zealand, China provided engineers to help New Zealand design this power station. When the second tailrace tunnel was built in 1997, the color of Chinese technology became even more prominent. To be honest, Chinese water conservancy construction companies are responsible for many phases of the project.
Wang Bo asked Eva to help take a few photos, and then posted them on Weibo and WeChat Moments, writing: China’s technology, China’s power, China’s pride.
In fact, there is not much to visit at the hydropower station, it is mainly to see something new.
This lake is best suited for fishing. Some residents and tourists go boating on the lake to fish for brown trout. Marlop said that this is a trout fishing paradise for fly fishing enthusiasts, with abundant fishing resources.
They didn't bring fishing gear and couldn't fish, so Malop took them on and walked through the dam to the Waiau River to pick up fish.
When walking down from the dam, Wang Bo saw a big fish as long as an arm falling down. Then he looked as hard as he could and saw that the fish fell into the water and floated on it. Apparently it fainted.
Seeing this, he said with regret: "It's a pity that we didn't bring any strong men here, otherwise we could have harvested a large number of fish."
He originally wanted to bring the young man with him, but the queen and Xiao Wang were jealous because they had brought the young man with them when they returned to China. When they got on the plane, they also squeezed up and whined in aggrievedness when they were not allowed to come up.
Later, Eva had no choice but to take the fat cat brother with her, while the strong man stayed at home with the queen and the little king.
The current in the upper reaches of the Waiau River was fast. They stood by the river and wanted to take pictures. Waves of water kept coming out, and they became wet before they knew it.
.
Marop took them down and told them that the water vapor and humidity at the river were too heavy, especially since it rained today. They would get wet after a while in such weather.
Walking down the river, there were no mountain roads here, so they had to carefully explore the path. On the way, they encountered a herd of red deer and a few fat birds.
Wang Bo had never seen that kind of fat bird before, so he curiously pointed his finger at the group, and everyone burst into laughter, saying that it was New Zealand's national bird, the kiwi, a large bird that the indigenous people had seen since childhood.
The name of the kiwi comes from their call. 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 New Zealanders>
Wang Bo has known this for a long time, and kii's name is also inspiring, but he has never had the opportunity to meet him.
New Zealand was once a paradise for birds, but after the white man landed, a large number of birds were exterminated. The kiwi was not extinct, but it is now rare.
Walking down the river, fish began to appear on the water. Someone stepped on the water and picked up a rainbow trout more than 20 centimeters long. Marop found a piece of ivy and passed it through the gills of the fish for him to carry, saying that at noon You can grill fish and eat it in the wild.
They arrived at a flat beach with slow currents. Several boats were parked on the shore. Marop gestured for them to come up: "Don't you want to pick up fish? This is your opportunity."
These boats are the ones they saw before. The owners have left, and the boats are left here, casually tied to the tree trunks by the river, without any worry of being stolen.
Most New Zealanders can row. This is a coastal country, and Wang Bo is better at rowing. He has been rowing since he was a child. It is no problem even on the sea, let alone a freshwater river.
He and Eva took a boat, a four- to five-meter-long wooden sampan that was easy to maneuver.
Fish floating on the river can be seen from time to time, but not all of them are fainting, some just come to the surface to catch their breath because of the dull weather.
A rancher rowed a boat and raised his eyebrows when he passed by Wang Bo and said: "Wang, come here, let's compare to see who can pick up more fish?"
Wang Bo laughed loudly and said: "I don't want to bully you, Gormon, but if you compare me with Lai, you really picked the wrong person."
Gormon was a strong rancher. He was very unconvinced and said, "Let's give it a try? There is a time limit of half an hour. Whoever loses will prepare firewood for lunch?"
Wang Bo made a gentleman's gesture of spreading his hands and said: "As you wish, let's begin!"
Their boat happened to come across a big fish with its belly turned white and floating on the water. Eva quickly started to grab it.
These fish are very slippery. They decided to catch them on the spur of the moment. Without tools like nets, they had to catch them with bare hands, so it was very difficult.
Eva caught two handfuls, and the fish slipped away. Gormon, his wife and son laughed, and seemed to be sure of victory.
She patted her forehead in distress, and Eva also laughed. She picked up Erpang's skin by the back of his neck and put it on the fish. Erpang's claws were very sharp and reached out to grab it. In this way, Eva lifted the fish. Holding it, the fish was easily lifted up.
At this time, Gormon and others were stunned. (.)
