Treasure Hunt Tycoon

Chapter 275: Speeding on the 6 * 10 + 6 highway (1)

At the urging of Li Du, Hans expanded the circle of the warehouse's location, so that the range of options was wide, and there were more warehouse companies to choose from.

In late July, after heavy rain, Flagstaff City resumed hot weather again.

In a sweat, Hans screened out a new warehouse company in Kingman, a small city northwest of Flagstaff.

After a few days of idleness, Li Du got the news of the auction and immediately yelled for departure, so the Iron Knights re-opened the road.

Kingman has a total of 240 kilometers across Flagstaff City, and at the speed of the Iron Knight, it can be reached in two hours.

"This is a small place, brothers, with a population of just over 30,000, mainly whites, and relatively few people of color, but now many Middle Eastern immigrants go there, so we have to be careful when we go.

On the way, Hans explained to Li Du the local customs of the warehouse.

Li Dudao: "I understand this, Allahu Akbar, we respect their beliefs and their culture, and we can live together without incident."

Hans shrugged. "Yes, that's it."

Kingman is located in central Arizona, the county seat of Mohave County. It was once considered to be the most barren area in the western United States. The local landscape is wild and there are few buildings, so it is empty.

For these reasons, some immigrants choose to live in Kingman.

It may not be very rich there, but with a small population and low pressure for competition, it is a good choice for immigrants who lack connections.

Most of the first-generation immigrants were able to bear hardships and be willing to give up. They had strength and knowledge. This kind of seemingly impoverished place has the potential to develop after their cultivation.

From Flagstaff City to Kingman is Route 66, which is 4,000 kilometers long. It is well known in the western region and is known by Americans as the 'Mother Highway'.

Route 66 starts in Chicago, Illinois, passes through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, runs through the US territory to Los Angeles, California, and extends to Santa Monica. It's amazing across eight states and three time zones!

This title is not only because it connects the eastern and western parts of the United States, but also because it has once saved the economies of the villages along the way.

At the end of the 19th century, Route 66 was just a dirt road with horse-drawn carriages.

In 1926, the U.S. government investment connected the intermittent roads and it was finally completed in more than ten years.

During this period, it coincided with the Great Depression, which had become discolored in the Western world.

This construction project provided tens of thousands of jobs for the United States in a difficult period, and became a life-saving straw for workers in surrounding towns.

There are many legends about this highway, which has been explained to Hans on the road. The two-hour drive soon ended. When Hans closed his mouth, Kingman's downtown area had already appeared.

Li Du looked out of the car window and felt this was a very old small town.

Route 66 runs through here and becomes the main road. There are many mottled and faded motels and gas stations on both sides of the road, and some buildings are particularly quaint and vicissitudes. Li Du think they may be born in the 19th century.

He showed it to Hans, and Hans laughed: "You guessed it, they are left in the 19th century and now they have become a national heritage."

Among these old buildings, there is also a museum, the Route 66 Museum.

Seeing this, Li Du marveled: "This highway is so famous that it even built a museum for it."

Hans said lazily, "Of course, didn't I introduce you on the way?"

There is free parking in front of the museum. Godzilla decided to park here. There are hotels and restaurants nearby, and the warehouse where the auction will be held is also nearby.

Since parking here, Li Du bought a ticket to visit this museum.

Since drinking tea with Sophie last time and listening to her expressing her longing for geography, Li Du has changed her working attitude.

The nature of warehousing auctions determines that treasure pickers need to travel around in various places. Li Du wants to learn more about the geography and culture of each place while picking up treasures.

He thought that maybe he would have a chance in the future. He would come to Sophie for a trip to the west or even the free travel of the United States.

Although this museum is only for highways, there are a lot of things in it.

Upon entering, the museum showcase was a manuscript of a book.

"This is the manuscript of" Grapes of Wrath, "a masterpiece written by John Steinbeck in 1939 and later won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature," Hans said.

"The nickname of Route 66 also came from this. Steinbeck first called it 'Mother Road', and everyone used it later."

In addition to the literary manuscript, there is also a manuscript of the score, a masterpiece by jazz composer and actor Bobby Trupp.

When the composer ran along Route 66 to California ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ wrote the most famous song of his life, "Find Fun on Route 66".

Later, this song was recorded and released by well-known singer Na Jingao, and became a hit song at that time, which also made Troup climb to the peak of his career.

In addition to literature and music, there are other things about this highway.

CBS Television once launched a highway TV series "Route 66" in the name of 1960-1964, and a television set in the museum was playing this episode in a loop.

In addition to this TV series, there are also some documentaries filmed on Route 66, which can be burned for free with tickets, which is a means for the museum to attract tourists.

At the end of the visit, Li Du burned some CDs when he went out.

When they participate in the auction, they spend a lot of time idle, so watching documentaries is a good pastime.

"Where do we live?" Li Du asked, putting away the disc.

Hans pointed to the south and said, "Neon Motel, if you want to experience the western style, you must live there."

This hotel has exaggerated neon decorations, and the entire house is full of lamps. It is not visible during the day. It can be imagined that it will be gorgeous at night.

However, the house itself is a bit old, and the decoration style seems to be from the last century. It is rough, simple and practical, just like the western cowboy's home.

After Hans paid, they ate lunch at the hotel.

"The dishes here are very good, man. The neon hotel has been open for a century. They have always hired chefs and waiters from the countryside, retaining the original western style.

Listening to Hans' introduction, Li Du opened the menu and laughed.
