The hope of getting the Dragon Palace was shattered, but Li Yaolin could understand it. After all, the "Sea God" was always showing off his presence. If she really built a Dragon Palace, wouldn't it be like bringing the mistress home in front of the wife?
This behavior is definitely a scumbag, whether it is a man or a woman, and it is a death wish.
However, Li Yaolin was still very curious about the "Sea God Palace". She wondered if it had a certain theme like the "Mermaid Square", and whether this theme could help her uncover the secrets of the "Sea God".
She clicked on [Assets] and previewed [Sea God Palace]. What surprised her was that its appearance was not revealed at all. If it weren't for the three words "Sea God Palace" written below, she would have thought that she didn't get any rewards.
Li Yaolin asked the little mermaid, "Is the Sea God Palace transparent?"
The little mermaid replied, "The island owner once asked someone a question: What do you think the Dragon Palace is like? Then this question also applies to the Sea God Palace!"
Li Yaolin took a deep breath: Good guy, the question she asked someone casually was asked back in an unexpected place.
She thought for a moment and asked, "In other words, the 'Sea God Palace' is actually materialized according to my description?"
"You can say that."
"I can build it as big as I want?"
The little mermaid refused to reveal more: "The island owner can explore it by himself!"
In theory, there is no limit. Li Yaolin can have any kind of Sea God Palace she wants, but this time, she was in trouble.
No limit is often the most limited.
The system directly rewards her with a Poseidon Palace. Whether the design is good or not is the fault of the system and has nothing to do with her. But now she has to decide everything about the Poseidon Palace. Once the design is unreasonable or ugly, people will definitely complain and laugh at it.
In addition, she doesn't know what the buffs of the Poseidon Palace are. The buff of the Mermaid Square is that you can hear the singing of mermaids and attract "mermaid" dugongs; the buff of the lighthouse is to guide lost ships in the right direction. These are all things she figured out later.
Of course, she can also wait for the Poseidon Palace to be built, and then slowly figure out what its buffs are, but what if this buff doesn't match the style of the building?
For example, when people mention the god of the sea, they easily think of Poseidon. It is said that Poseidon's residence is a golden palace under the sea, so we can call this palace "Palace of Poseidon".
There is also a legend that Poseidon is the patron god of Atlantis, and his temple is built with gold, which looks very magnificent...
In short, the Palace of Poseidon related to this European and American god of the sea is likely to be very rustic in the eyes of modern people. Besides,
this god of the sea is very warlike. In the European and American mythology system, when describing him, it is often related to disasters, such as punishing a place with drought and swallowing a country with waves, so the buff related to this god of the sea must be a debuff for humans.
It just so happens that mermaids appear in the legends related to this sea god. Some say that his son is a mermaid prince who is very lustful. Some say that he also has a mermaid daughter whose tears can turn into amber...
Thinking of this, Li Yaolin shook the little mermaid: "Can your tears turn into amber?"
The little mermaid: "?"
What is the island owner dreaming about?
It is better to ask it if it will turn into foam if it falls in love with someone.
Li Yaolin was a little disappointed: "It turns out that it can't, then you must not be the child of some old pervert." The
little mermaid: "..."
As for the Chinese sea gods, they are less well-known. There are four recorded in "Shan Hai Jing", namely Xuanming, Yuhu, Buting Huyu and Yanzi.
In the folk legends that were born under the influence of Buddhism in later generations, the four sea dragon kings who were more famous for ruling the sea were the Dragon Kings, so this is why Li Yaolin always wanted the Dragon Palace.
But Li Yaolin believes that there is another familiar sea god - "Mazu". She was originally a fisherman's daughter (some say she was a witch) in the Song Dynasty, named Lin Mo Niang. Because she could predict good and bad luck and was very good at swimming, she was very trusted by the local fishermen. Later, she died while saving people. In order to commemorate her, the people built a temple for her. Later, a fisherman was in danger of being in trouble when he went out to sea. In the crisis, Mazu appeared and saved him. It was said among the people that as long as you worship her before going out to sea, you will return safely. From then on, the name of Mazu became more and more popular.
Some people call her the "Dragon Girl" and some call her the "Queen of Heaven". But no matter which name she is, she is the God of the Sea to many fishermen, sailors and other people who make a living from the sea.
Therefore, if this God of the Sea is taken as an example, the Palace of the God of the Sea must look like the "Queen of Heaven Palace" after the integration of the three religions.
However, Li Yaolin never thought that the "God of the Sea" related to the "God of the Sea Holiday APP" refers to a specific god.
The longer she operates and develops Xingzhou Island, the more she feels that the "God of the Sea" may be just an illusory existence. It is just a concept, a spiritual sustenance, or a group organization called "God of the Sea" that gathers for a certain purpose.
Sometimes she even wonders, is the sea the "God of the Sea"? Are the creatures in the sea the "God of the Sea"? Can even every tourist be regarded as a part of the "God of the Sea"?
Because the purpose of the APP seems to be to let the "Sea God" have a satisfying and happy holiday. Every tourist who comes here has fun and feels satisfied. This seems to be the meaning of the development of Xingzhou Island.
But tourists are not always "Sea God". Once they violate the rules of the island, they will also be ruthlessly blacklisted, instead of being treated as God and tolerated without bottom line.
Using a specific god to describe the "Sea God" obviously goes against her idea, so this "Sea God Palace" is unlikely to be any building in the Eastern and Western mythology system.
"Forget it, why think so much, just do it according to my own preferences!"
Li Yaolin decided to give up the entanglement. She does not believe in any particular god, nor does she have a preference for the Eastern or Western sea gods or the architectural style of either side. Since APP has handed over the initiative to build the "Palace of Poseidon" to her, she must build it with the goal of "how to attract tourists and make them willingly take out their wallets."
On this basis, the "Palace of Poseidon" must be beyond people's imagination. First of all, it must be large so that tourists can't finish visiting it in a short time; secondly, its shape must be unique, preferably the kind that can make people sigh; finally, its safety factor must be high...
The word "tip of the iceberg" suddenly emerged in Li Yaolin's mind. As we all know, the Antarctic iceberg floating on the water is only one-seventh of the volume of the entire iceberg, so people often use "tip of the iceberg" to describe the whole of something that only reveals a small part.
But Li Yaolin was not thinking about anything philosophical at this time. She thought about the construction method of the "Poseidon Palace". Could it be like an iceberg, with most of it in the sea and only a small part exposed above the sea surface?
This is somewhat similar to the "underwater hotel", but also quite different, because the volume of the underwater hotel above water is larger than the underwater part, because only when the buoyancy of the surface part of the building is greater than that of the underwater part, the hotel will not sink.
The Poseidon Palace she wants is a special building that will not sink even if it does not rely on the buoyancy of the surface building.
This concept is far beyond the current level of technology, and it is unknown whether it can be realized.
"Little fish, if I decide to build such a Sea God Palace, and it eventually collapses or has problems, it should have nothing to do with me, right? After all, 'Sea God' has given it to me, a layman who is not an architect, to build. That means no matter how I build it, 'Sea God' has to guarantee its quality, right?"
The little mermaid: "..."
Although the island owner's worries are unnecessary, you haven't decided what kind of "Sea God Palace" to build, but you have already thought about how to blame others if it fails. You are really worthy of it!
Seeing that it didn't deny it, Li Yaolin took it as its acquiescence.
For this "Sea God Palace", Li Yaolin did not ask Liang Ying for a design, but took out his paintbrush and started painting.
After all, she had seen hundreds of architectural design drafts. Although she did not have the professional level of designers and could not use professional tools, she had the help of the butler. She only needed to conceive its overall structural framework, and the butler could help fill in the remaining details.
When Zheng Xuan and Lin Qitong came to find her, they saw her drawing, so they came over and asked, "What is this? A jellyfish?"
Li Yaolin smiled mysteriously and said, "This is the landmark I want to build next."
Zheng Xuan: "..."
Lin Qitong: "Where are you going to build it?"
"In the sea. The umbrella-shaped part is on the water surface, and these 'whiskers' are part of the underwater paradise."
If you want to talk about one of the most common, beautiful and dangerous creatures in the sea, it must be the jellyfish.
There are also many jellyfish in the waters of Xingzhou Island. Divers are most afraid of encountering poisonous jellyfish, but in fact, Li Yaolin has planned that no jellyfish will approach the seas where people are active. Even if there are, they are harmless jellyfish. Only in the underwater hotel and the marine ecological corridor can you see those beautiful jellyfish that glow and are highly poisonous.
When conceiving the appearance of the Sea God Palace, Li Yaolin wanted to build a park on the seabed, such as a roller coaster, but if you want tourists to experience the roller coaster on the seabed, it must be made into a pipe shape. She somehow thought of the "whiskers" of jellyfish and simply made it look like a jellyfish.
——The reason why it is a jellyfish instead of an octopus is because jellyfish can glow, but octopuses cannot.
The two were shocked by her wild idea and looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping.
Li Yaolin knew what they wanted to say: "You want to say that my idea is difficult to realize?"
"You know, so you are just drawing it for fun?"
Li Yaolin smiled and said, "You will know later!"
Looking at this design, the little mermaid was speechless. Anyone who sees "Poseidon Palace" will think of a magnificent or solemn palace, right? Why would the island owner have his own agenda and define it as an underwater paradise?
Li Yaolin corrected it: "The system said it was just a landmark, but it didn't say it must be the palace of the gods! And look at the water part I designed, it's 6,000 square meters and made entirely of glass. At night it looks like a giant jellyfish, so beautiful!"
She had some new ideas: "When the time comes, we'll connect the platform of the underwater tourist tunnel to the 'Poseidon Palace' and take the elevator to the surface of the sea..."
The little mermaid didn't know if Poseidon Holiday APP would regret handing over the construction rights of Poseidon Palace to the island owner. She only knew that this was an inevitable result, because the island owner's ideas had traces to follow - as early as the early days of developing Xingzhou Island, the island owner had thought about creating an underwater world more than once. At that time, Poseidon Holiday APP did not open up too many permissions, so she thought those ideas were beyond the existing technical level and rarely put them into action.
Occasionally, she would still mention buildings such as "Disney Under the Sea" and "Dragon Palace". It can be seen that if she is given a fulcrum, she will really move the earth.
Suddenly, the little mermaid heard the island owner say: "Little fish, I'll leave you a room, you can choose it yourself."
"Really?" The little mermaid stared at her round, watery Q-version eyes, and pointed to a place in the underwater part with her harpoon.
Li Yaolin marked it out, and the little mermaid realized that the underwater part was not all open to tourists. In addition to those "whiskers", most of the central area will become the residence of marine life - although most marine animals do not have residences at all, Li Yaolin still left a space for them.
The outer walls of the central area will be covered with a large number of marine plants, so tourists can only see their glowing surface and cannot go inside to explore.
Of course, if someone dives, they can still get close, but whether they will be driven away by marine life at that time is unknown.
Li Yaolin added all the parts she could think of, and finally she tried to submit.
The APP popped up a prompt window: "Do you want to generate 'Poseidon Palace'?"
"Yes!"
The APP seemed to be scanning the picture she submitted, and the reading progress was slow, so Li Yaolin went to do other things first.
When she finished her work and looked at her mobile phone again, the "Poseidon Palace" in [Assets] had specific data.
"It's done!" Li Yaolin was excited, rubbed her hands, and decided to choose its location in the area close to Xingzhou Island in the underwater tourist tunnel.
Due to its complex structure and huge amount of work, the speed of completion is much slower than that of the lighthouse and the Mermaid Square, and it will take two years.
...
During the construction of the "Poseidon Palace", the underwater tourist tunnel was completed first.
Once the news came out, almost all the eyes of the world were focused on Xingzhou Island. Everyone was waiting for it to open for operation, and then see whether the world's longest tourist tunnel built on the seabed will create miracles or sell dog meat under the guise of mutton!
The author has something to say:
Two more chapters?
It will probably end when the Poseidon Palace is completed.
Then there will be some extras, probably about some trivial matters in the lives of the supporting characters.
