Li Yaolin gave up her unrealistic fantasies and honestly chose the rewards given by the system.
She first studied the "ocean aquarium".
Indeed, when people come to the seaside, in addition to beach projects, the first thing they think of is the ocean theme park. Because the marine animals living in the sea are not so easy to see and touch, the existence of major ocean worlds satisfies people's curiosity.
Li Yaolin also wants an ocean aquarium, but she thought that the building area is only 1,000 square meters, which is too small for an aquarium.
The aquarium needs an area for tourists to move around, and it also needs to have a large water tank for marine life to move around. After leaving an area for human activities, the remaining space is so small that even if only Pipi, a white dolphin, is raised, the other party will think it is too small and can't move around, and will be depressed sooner or later.
Even if this "special building" can be expanded as Poseidon's satisfaction increases, the upper limit of Poseidon's satisfaction is 100. Now the satisfaction has reached 60, which means that there are only 40 points of satisfaction left. The area that can be expanded for this aquarium is only 4,000 square meters. The
total area of the ocean aquarium is only 5,000 square meters, which is less than 0.4% of the area of the C-Long Ocean Kingdom.
Moreover, even if it is only 1,000 square meters, there is no room for an aquarium on Xingzhou Island. Instead, it can be placed in the Cultural and Creative Industrial Park.
However, the sea area around Xingzhou Island is very suitable for marine animals to survive. Why should she go to the trouble of letting them live in the aquarium?
So she first ruled out this option.
Let's look at the "ancient building ruins"...
It seems to be incompatible with the "ocean aquarium" and "marine ecological corridor", but if you think about it carefully, it can become a part of coastal tourism culture.
For example, the legend of Atlantis is very famous, and there are examples of underwater ruins found in waters all over the world. So if this "ancient building ruins" is placed in the waters around Xingzhou Island, it can also become one of the special attractions to attract tourists.
It's just that its inconvenient location will not only attract the attention and attention of the archaeological community, but tourists also need to dive to see its true appearance, which will filter out most tourists.
Finally, Li Yaolin's eyes fell on the "marine ecological corridor".
"Ecological corridor" is somewhat similar to "ecological corridor", and the latter often refers to the concept of "connecting two ecosystems to protect biodiversity." It's like raising goldfish in one fish tank and planting water plants in another tank. If you build a corridor between them, the goldfish can live in the place with abundant water plants, and the seeds of water plants can also take root and grow in the other fish tank.
So Li Yaolin is not sure whether this "ecological corridor" refers to a certain passage.
But the sea area of Xingzhou Island is open and has a relatively complete ecological system. Moreover, the system says that this is a "special building". Since it is a building, it is probably not a "corridor" in the broad sense like the "Hexi Corridor", but a corridor in the narrow sense.
Li Yaolin said: "I choose 'marine ecological corridor'!" "
Has the island owner decided?"
"It's decided."
It doesn't matter if she guessed wrong. She can build an underwater hotel, so why worry about not being able to build other underwater buildings? With the marine building materials area, what marine engineering building materials can she not buy?
She can build the Dragon Palace or something!
The rewards from the system are a sure win.
After Li Yaolin made a decisive choice, the "Marine Ecological Corridor" entered her assets. She clicked it and saw that she was right. This "ecological corridor" is really a corridor.
Of course, it can also be said to be a fully transparent tunnel made of plexiglass. It is T-shaped, with a height of 3.5 meters to 5.5 meters. The middle corridor is 100 meters long and 5 meters wide. The left and right corridors are both 40 meters long and 4 meters wide. At the end of the left and right corridors, there is a hemispherical space with an area of 90 square meters.
Li Yaolin calculated and found that the plane area of this corridor is exactly 1,000 square meters. If it is placed on the seabed, an additional passage leading to the seabed must be built. But it's not a big problem, these materials can be purchased from the building materials section.
Li Yaolin guessed that this corridor has special properties like the Mermaid Square and the lighthouse. Since the system didn't mention it, she could only wait for her to dig it out on her own.
Li Yaolin asked: "Little Fish, do you have any suggestions for the location of the 'Ocean Ecological Corridor' this time?"
The little mermaid replied: "The island owner can place it anywhere he wants!"
Li Yaolin nodded and said: "It seems that its special property is that it can produce perfect effects no matter where it is."
The little mermaid: "..."
Good guy, it turns out that the island owner was just trying to trick it!
Considering the impact of ships on underwater buildings, Li Yaolin built it in a relatively deep sea area. The slope of the sea area to the west is relatively small, which is not suitable; the north is a protected area, which is not suitable either; the northeast direction is the dock and the channel, and ships come and go, which is not safe; the south is the underwater hotel, and if it is too close, the privacy of the guests of the underwater hotel cannot be guaranteed.
After thinking about it, only the east-south direction, near the third diving point, is suitable, and this area will not have any impact on the lancelet nature reserve 1 nautical mile away.
After choosing the address, Li Yaolin built a road leading to this corridor. Because the road is on the island and the corridor is ten meters underwater, a staircase must be built. The staircase is also 5 meters wide, but an escalator is built on both sides.
Seeing the project price quote, Li Yaolin's heart was bleeding: "It turns out that free is the most expensive! The ecological corridor is a system reward and I don't have to pay for it, but it cost me more than 8 million to build these tunnels and stairs!"
Not only that, the operating fee of the "Marine Ecological Corridor" is 10,000 yuan a day, which is really a steal.
Li Yaolin thought that when it is completed and officially put into operation, she will have to charge 200 yuan per ticket!
...
The "Marine Ecological Corridor" rewarded by the system was built faster and was completed in less than a month, while the tunnels and stairs built by Li Yaolin took a little longer, but they could also be put into operation before New Year's Day.
Less than two months before the new year, Li Yaolin looked at the financial statements for the first three quarters of this year and found that since investing in the cultural and creative industrial park, the money has been spent like water, but the good news is that the turnover has already exceeded 300 million.
Thinking that the sea area will be changed to 30,000 hectares next year, Li Yaolin was excited and felt that such a large sea area was too exaggerated. If she really became a maritime hegemon, the first person the country would investigate would be her, right? It would be better to give her a piece of land in exchange for her, and she could sell it for hundreds of millions.
Just when she was dreaming of making a fortune by selling land, Deputy Manager Shen came to report something to her, saying that a guest of the Holiday Inn had reported that the hotel's service was still not up to standard.
In a way, hotels are service industries, so when Li Yaolin heard that there were areas where the service was not up to standard, she naturally took it seriously. She asked: "If it was just a general problem, you could handle it yourself. You came to tell me, which shows that you can't handle this matter. So what's the reason?"
Deputy Manager Shen said with some hesitation: "He said that not only the hotel, but the entire island lacks barrier-free facilities, which is not very convenient for a blind person like him."
Li Yaolin was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I didn't think it through enough."
Deputy Manager Shen saw this and made up for her, saying: "In fact, who could have expected that a blind person would come to the island As for tourism, after all, they can’t see the beautiful scenery...”
Li Yaolin said in frustration: “Yes, because we thought they couldn’t see it, we thought they didn’t need our services, and we didn’t need to consider the insignificant business value they brought, thus ignoring their existence...”
Deputy Manager Shen felt that the matter was not as serious as Li Yaolin said. After all, the guest didn’t want to complain about the hotel. When the hotel staff collected the customer’s stay experience as usual, the other party mentioned it lightly, and then said afterwards: "It’s not a big deal, you don’t need to care."
It would be strange if he didn’t care!
Li Yaolin learned that the other party was still on the island and had not left, so she went to see him in person.
To her surprise, the other party was staying in Mermaid Square at this time. He had gray hair, was dressed casually, and wore a pair of sunglasses. He was sitting by the fountain of the mermaid sculpture. Even if he was holding a cane, people would only think he was an elderly man, not a blind man.
Li Yaolin took the initiative to greet him: "Mr. Chen, hello."
Mr. Chen raised his index finger: "Huh——"
Li Yaolin didn't know what he was doing, but still waited patiently.
After a while, Mr. Chen seemed a little annoyed: "No more."
Li Yaolin asked: "What's gone?"
"The sound of nature."
Others who heard this nonsense would only think he was a weirdo. Li Yaolin suddenly had an idea and asked: "Is it the mermaid's singing?"
Mr. Chen was shocked and stood up. He almost fell because of the large range of motion and his body could not keep balance. When Li Yaolin reached out to support him, he held his cane to stabilize his body.
He asked anxiously: "You heard it too?!"
Li Yaolin felt that she should be the one to be shocked. She thought that only she could hear the faint singing mixed in the sea breeze.
Sometimes tourists who hear it will just think it is hallucination and not take it seriously. It is rare to see someone like Mr. Chen who pays attention to it seriously.
"I knew it was not a hallucination!" Mr. Chen said happily.
He seemed to have thought of something, paused, and asked, "Did you come to see me specially?"
Not many people on the island knew him. Li Yaolin greeted him as soon as he arrived. He was not a fool and figured it out immediately.
Li Yaolin said, "My name is Li Yaolin, and I am the owner of Xingzhou Island. I came here to apologize to you because I was not considerate enough and ignored the needs of some tourists during the development process, which brought you inconvenience. At the same time, I also came to thank you. If it weren't for your feedback, we might continue to ignore this matter..."
Mr. Chen was a little surprised. He was silent for a while and said, "Shu Shuang said you are a very outstanding young man, and it is true."
Li Yaolin didn't expect that the other party knew Shu Shuang, and Shu Shuang mentioned her to him, obviously the two of them had a deep friendship. The reason why the other party appeared here was probably because of Shu Shuang's recommendation.
Mr. Chen did not dwell on that. He asked with great interest: "Why do you call it the 'mermaid song'?"
Of course it was because it was heard along with the appearance of the sea fire. Later, Li Yaolin learned that the special dugong also quietly came to Xingzhou Island when the sea fire appeared. Its voice attracted the dugong community, so she called that song the "mermaid song."
However, she could not tell Mr. Chen the truth. She only said, "Because... this is the Mermaid Square, where a group of 'mermaids' live. Isn't the heavenly sound you heard the singing of mermaids?"
Mr. Chen laughed and said, "Mermaid singing... only mermaids can sing such beautiful and melodious songs."
He paused and suddenly asked, "I heard that there is a stage in the Cultural and Creative Industrial Park of Xingzhou Island?"
"Yes, I plan to invite some folk art troupes to perform on stage from time to time, such as Cantonese opera, puppet shows, traditional songs and dances of Biwan District, and maybe some music festivals and other activities."
Mr. Chen said, "Then can I apply to hold a concert there?"
Li Yaolin: "?"
She said, "It hasn't been built yet."
"It doesn't matter. My music is not finished yet. By the time I finish, the place will probably be built..."
Only then did Li Yaolin know that Mr. Chen was an internationally renowned pianist and composer. When he was young, he was known as a "genius composer" and had held solo concerts all over the world. But the good times didn't last long. He was diagnosed with glaucoma, and within five years, his eyesight gradually disappeared.
This was a heavy blow to him, and his musical career was likely to be cut off.
After a period of hesitation and painful struggle, he slowly cheered up, went to a school for the blind, learned Braille, and then continued his musical career, turning his experience after losing his sight into notes and telling the world through his fingertips.
But the hardships of life continued. Some people did not like his works after he became blind, compared them with his previous works, and then lamented that he had run out of talent.
He could not stand the fact that others denied his talent. Gradually, he began to avoid socializing with people, and his temper became extremely irritable. Even music could not soothe his heart.
At this time, he received a postcard sent from the mainland. This was a birthday gift from Shu Shuang. Although others thought that this postcard was very cheap, he cherished it very much, because after receiving this postcard, he found that his heart seemed to calm down.
The Filipino maid at home also complained to others that he had not lost his temper for a long time.
He then contacted Shu Shuang, who then suggested that he go to Xingzhou Island to enjoy a few days' vacation.
Although he had several struggles in his heart, he finally showed up here.
Because he couldn't see, he couldn't appreciate the scenery here, but he could hear and feel. Finally, he heard a very strange sound in the Mermaid Square.
"Listen, who is singing?" Mr. Chen asked his assistant.
The assistant looked around in confusion and replied, "Teacher, no one is singing!"
Mr. Chen once suspected that his condition had worsened, causing auditory hallucinations, but it didn't matter. The heavenly sounds made him intoxicated. Not only did he forget his troubles, but as Shu Shuang said, inspiration came like a spring.
He came to Mermaid Square every day, but sometimes he could hear those heavenly sounds, and sometimes he couldn't.
The assistant advised him to go back to Hong Kong for a physical examination. He originally planned to go back tomorrow, but Li Yaolin's appearance made him change his mind.
Mr. Chen said to Li Yaolin again: "I knew it was not an auditory hallucination, we all heard it!"
Li Yaolin smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
...
Mr. Chen would not leave. He decided to stay here for a long time.
As for how long he would stay? He thought he might have to stay until he finished his solo concert.
The assistant was dumbfounded and applied to return to Hong Kong on the grounds that he still had work.
Mr. Chen did not stop him because Li Yaolin began to add barrier-free facilities on the island and in the cultural and creative industrial park, such as adding blind paths on the greenway, replacing signs and warm reminders with signs in Braille, and adding barrier-free toilets... What
surprised Mr. Chen the most and made his assistant feel at ease to return to Hong Kong was that Li Yaolin hired a mechanical guide dog from the talent market, which could take Mr. Chen to any safe place. As for his daily life, Mr. Chen could take care of it himself, and if he really couldn't take care of it, he could ask the hotel staff for help.
The hourly wage of this mechanical guide dog is 100 yuan, and Li Yaolin rented it to Mr. Chen for 100 yuan a day (8 hours)... After all, Mr. Chen is very rich and lives in a sea view room that costs more than 2,000 yuan a night, and stays for dozens of days. The rental of the mechanical guide dog is a discount for him. The

Regarding the area of the marine ecological corridor, I hope I have not miscalculated.
