The storage company was called Glen Canyon, but Glen Canyon was not only a canyon, but also the name of a dam. The full name was Glen Canyon Dam.
Technically speaking, the dam was located in Black Canyon, not far from Page. It controlled the flow of the Colorado River and could generate electricity.
When Li Du first studied abroad, he studied some of the modern projects in the United States and Arizona, which helped him better understand the country and society.
As one of the most spectacular projects in the United States and one of the most complex buildings in the world, Glen Canyon Dam was naturally the focus of his attention.
The life of this dam was legendary.
Since a hundred years ago, the local government and Congress of the United States believed that allowing the western rivers to flow westward into the sea was an unforgivable waste of resources.
They believed that, in addition to agricultural irrigation and hydroelectric power generation, these abundant water resources could also be channeled into lakes, which would become attractive tourist resources and allow these lakes to regulate the flow of water.
Urged by this belief, the United States federal and related state governments, especially the power of private industry, had built more than 600 dams in the barren western United States over the past century.
Among the many dams, the Glen Canyon Dam shone brightly. It was built on the Colorado River in Arizona, close to Utah, with the beautiful scenery of Colorado as the background, connecting the three states.
Since ancient times, these three states had been relatively dry. A large amount of land could not be turned into fertile land because of the lack of water. The mission of the dam was to store water for this particularly dry part of the United States.
After its completion, the dam fulfilled its mission well. It was 216 meters high, and its arched top was 470 meters long, like a giant opening its arms to embrace a large canyon.
When the car arrived at the storage company, Li Du looked up at the company gate and said, "After the auction, I have to go to Lake Powell and the dam area to see. This must be a spectacular project."
The gate of Glen Canyon Storage Company adopted the image of the main dam. A smaller version of the dam stood on the ground, and the walls extended from both ends of the dam to encircle the storage company.
Hans said, "Go take a look, I'll go take a look too. Maybe in a few years, we won't see it anymore."
This was the reason why the life of the dam was legendary. As Hans said, in a few years, these dams would probably not be seen anymore, because the U.S. government was now planning to tear them down.
The reason for this was that, although the dam supplied the water resources of three states, it had a fatal effect on the native flora and fauna.
Not only did the existence of the dams disrupt the natural law of drought that could maintain the ecological balance, it also caused countless salmon to die because they were unable to enter the sea.
Two years ago, the United States House of Representatives organized two hearings to investigate this matter. The investigation was completed quickly, and the government began to dismantle the dam. Now, some small dams had been dismantled.
Just like that, Hans began to mutter about 'wasting taxpayers' money ',' Democrats are corrupt ',' Republicans are corrupt ', and' Why doesn't God send lightning to kill these sons of b * tches' …
Li Du took out a pack of Marlboro cigarettes, which he had prepared for the security guard. The security guard would accept the cigarettes and open the door to let them into the warehouse.
They had always used this method to sneak into storage companies. Of course, if the company's security was lax, they would still sneak in. But this time, it was impossible.
The management of Glen Canyon Storage Company was very strict. Even with a carton of cigarettes, it was not easy to sneak in. The security guard looked at them and said, "Only one person can enter."
Hans put a hand on his shoulder and smiled. "Hey, buddy, we're not here to cause trouble. We're treasure hunters. We're just going in to familiarize ourselves with the environment."
"Only one person can enter," the security guard said coldly.
Hans began to instigate him with his glib tongue, but the security guard was stubborn. He could say whatever he wanted. Anyway, only one person could enter at most.
Li Du said, "Alright, I'll go in."
The security guard put away the cigarettes and opened the door to let him into the company.
The scale of the warehouse was very large. From the information he had obtained, it covered an area of more than 200 acres, with a total of close to 500 warehouses.
However, after entering, he realized that there were not 500 warehouses, not even 100. It was just that the warehouses were very large, with many huge warehouses neatly arranged on the ground. It was a spectacular sight.
As Li Du walked inside, besides seeing the warehouses, he also saw some bulletin boards.
He saw that the bulletin boards were a little old, and the patterns on them were old and simple. He released the little bug and used its ability to turn back time.
Then, pictures of time appeared. In the first picture, there were always workers gathered in front of the bulletin boards.
With this, he suddenly realized that the warehouses inside were probably built by the dam construction team in the past. After the dam was completed, they were sold to a businessman and became the current warehouses for tourists and local residents.
After that, he released the little bug. When the little bug flew into the warehouse, he was even more certain of his guess.
The warehouse was very big, and there were partitions inside. One warehouse was divided into four or five smaller warehouses. In this way, there were indeed about 400 to 500 warehouses.
The first warehouse to be auctioned was number 15. There were many warehouses to be inspected today, and the task was difficult. Li Du did not have the energy to look at them in detail, so he could only give them a rough look.
This was also the reason why he valued the information provided by Zhang Kai. For the time being, he did not intend to inspect the warehouses between numbers 51 to 100. He would wait until the auction the next day.
The little bug flew into number 15. There were not many things inside. The warehouse was very spacious. There was only a mountain bike with no tires, some broken tents, rusty ovens, and the like.
After looking around and not finding anything valuable, he immediately brought the little bug into the next warehouse.
The second warehouse was number 21. There were many things inside, but they were of no value. There was some food stored inside, but the food was moldy and had attracted a lot of insects and ants.
After looking at four consecutive warehouses, all of them were of no value. When he entered the fifth warehouse, Li Du finally found something.
Under a dusty hood, there was a motorcycle parked there.
The appearance of the motorcycle was very ostentatious and domineering, like a magical beast.
In other words, it was a magical beast, a magical beast made of steel.
This was not a description. The motorcycle that Li Du saw was probably handmade by enthusiasts. The body of the motorcycle was made of an unknown magical beast. The front of the motorcycle was the head of the beast, the handles were the horns of the beast, the tail of the beast, and the frame was one of the beast's legs!
He let the little bug take a look at the engine and gearbox. Motorcycles were commonly seen in warehouse auctions. However, people would take away the engine and other valuable parts, leaving behind a useless empty shell.
