The Goddess Shines on America

When driving out of O'Brien-Anderson's factory, Alice certainly didn't know what was going on inside the house. A beautiful life was unfolding to her along with the Bugatti supercar, and the ghost had the energy to pay attention to such a The private lives of little people.

Not long after driving across most of Los Angeles, downtown comes into view. Rows upon rows of high-rise buildings soar to the sky. Although compared with Manhattan, which can be called a forest of steel, the CBD of Los Angeles is pitifully small, but the modernity that emerges from the bones is by no means full of centuries-old buildings. The South Island Wall Street can have.

It can be said that these two cities are really full of diametrically opposed temperaments. Just like in Alice’s distant hometown, many people like to compare the advantages and disadvantages of BJ and Shanghai. One of the biggest bad tastes of Americans is to watch New Yorkers. And the self-promotion and endless confrontation of the people of Los Angeles.

Which city is better really depends on what suits your own situation. Driving in the urban area, Alice naturally slowed down. The sunny California afternoon is so charming, and the high-intensity multi-ethnic integration is fully displayed in the whole California. Located here, across the Pacific Ocean is an entire emerging market in Asia. The ghosts want to go to the east coast where the winter is often cloudy, rainy, snowy, and full of Gothic style.

"Hey, Jack!"

Driving past the archway in Chinatown, just in time to see the old town’s food stalls open again, Alice immediately stopped in front of him and said, “Here’s some pancakes and more peppers!”

The diligent young man smiled and said, "Okay, Alice, is it still the same?"

The girl inside the convertible supercar nodded and said, "Exactly the same~"

Jack is a master student studying at the University of Southern California, majoring in mechanical engineering. He will set up a part-time job here for a fixed number of days a week. When it comes to which Chinese snacks Europeans and Americans know best, pancakes and fruits are definitely at the top of the list, and the popularization campaign by the majority of Chinese people every few years is really indispensible.

"Nice sports car, Alice."

While making fruit skillfully, Jack chatted with his regular customers: "Now that you are old enough to take the driver's license test, I knew you would be able to buy a sports car."

Alice had a lollipop in her mouth: "Oh, are you sure? Jack, be careful, I'll tell dad to deduct your wages, crush or something~"

Jack laughed and flipped the pancake: "Falling in love with a sixteen-year-old girl? Oh my god, I don't have such a hobby. And Alice, it seems that your UCLA history department father can't deduct me." Salary?"

Alice was silent, how could she joke with a boy majoring in science and engineering? Obviously her own science and technology cells are quite developed.

"Oh, by the way, Alice." When the second side of the pancake was baked, Jack said, "Recently, the Los Angeles Times has been talking about the Alice Tower. You are really developed, the 528-meter skyscraper Building! It seems that there is no such tall building in the whole world, right?"

"Well, well~" Alice said with a smile: "It depends on how you calculate, the design height of the building will be different from the actual height after completion. Let's say the Willis Tower in Chicago, its building height It's four hundred and forty-two meters, but if you add the messy electric towers above it, it's five hundred and forty-five meters~"

"Oh, I don't know about that." The guy majoring in mechanics said that he didn't study architecture after all: "The "Los Angeles Times" will definitely publicize the new landmark of our city, and there will definitely be a certain degree of exaggeration, but if you really say it Tall buildings, the World Trade Center Tower, what I remember is..."

"441 meters, there is no doubt that this is not as high as mine." Alice curled her lips: "But tell you Jack, my mother, I am going to revise the blueprint now, and we want to build a building that is more than 600 meters high. "

The little brother stopped smearing the sauce, and finally remembered that he still had work: "Six, six hundred meters!?"

"Well~ Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, let's take my time~"

In the sunny California afternoon, the open-top supercar in front of the archway in Chinatown, the girl in sunglasses said it so easily, but as an ordinary citizen and an engineering man with super rational thinking, Jack suddenly became calm.

"Slowly build? Slowly... uh... I mean..."

"No hurry, no one is posting a ticket anyway, so take your time."

Jack finally found the topic: "I mean, although I don't study architecture, if I really want to build a building that tall, I must solve a lot of mechanical problems, right?"

He said: "I have read some books on the history of ancient architecture, saying that in the Middle Ages, a four-story tower was considered an amazing building, because until people used steel structures, if you wanted to build a tall building, the foundation would have That layer must be highly thickened, and..."

"Yeah, I know the principles of architectural design. I personally designed the current blueprint of the Alice Building. Thank you for your guidance~"

The fluffy words once again shocked Jack a lot: "You designed it? Oh my God, Alice, so you not only know computers and writing novels, but also architectural design?"

That's all, he immediately added another sentence: "It's nothing more than being omnipotent in arts and sciences, you have crossed so many fields!?"

The pancake fruit is half finished, but neither of the two chatting is focused on eating. In front of the stall of the older peddler, the rich and beautiful girl said relaxedly: "The brain is smart, and you can learn everything quickly. So Regarding resizing, you don’t have to worry about me, people who can compile Win1.0 are afraid that 3.0 won’t come out~”

"Oh...Actually, I'm really looking forward to the NT system now." Jack was really happy. He was able to chat with Alice about ideas. It's a pity that the age gap between them is still too big, otherwise his chance Maybe bigger?

I just don't know if the girl has a boyfriend now.

Of course Alice didn't have the time to guess Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, but she took off her sunglasses in surprise after hearing this sentence: "You look forward to the NT system? That's in the server field."

"Yes." While the pancakes were bagged, Jack said as a matter of course: "In terms of mechanical engineering, the core topic at present is CNC machine tools. Think about it, how many assembly lines and how many machine tools will there be in a large factory? Wouldn’t it be very convenient if they could be controlled uniformly with a computer?”

The idea is really good, although the implementation will be slightly different. Alice didn't intend to talk to him about these topics at the moment, so she took the snack and waved her hand with a smile: "It will be very convenient. Then goodbye Jack, I had a great chat with you~"

"Oh, me too!"

The roaring motor of the super sports car started immediately, and the graduate student from Southern California, who was still standing in front of his booth, looked at the girl's leaving back and said to himself: "You wait until I finish speaking before stepping on the gas pedal, what a girl. "

Alice is also really hungry. After all, she spent a whole night of calories processing Microsoft emails last night. Today, at breakfast, James planned to try vegetarian bacon again. What are these calories enough for?

Although there are not many pancakes and fruits.

The super sports car drove up the viaduct along the road, and it didn't take long for it to penetrate into the downtown of Los Angeles. It wasn't that far away. After passing through one skyscraper after another, she easily saw the Alice building in front of her. the construction site.

It is really a huge pit, covering an area of ​​120,000 square meters. It is not casual to talk about. Looking at it in front of you, it is a huge monster with a side length equal to a 100-meter runway. It does not mean that it occupies a stadium. exaggerate.

Of course, it is just a super big pit right now, and the seven underground floors is not a simple concept, and excavating it is a complicated project. As Alice saw across the viaduct, every time a certain depth is dug, the workers must first check out the auxiliary interlayer built by layers of steel pipes, and then continuously reinforce the surrounding soil walls. Otherwise, let alone how the excavator can go up and down freely, if there is a super large landslide, there is really no place to cry - it is all buried in it.

"……Um?"

However, when Bugatti drove through this section of the road, what caught Alice's attention again was not the emerging Hollywood sign in the distance.

It was a Mazda sedan behind him.

"That bastard...it seems that when I was buying pancakes, I stopped...in front of...the sushi restaurant thirty-five meters away on the west side of the road, right?"

Alice is a person with pictorial memory, and also has a computer-like selective reference power supply, so as long as there is a need, any trivial matter can be seen again. This is the situation now. I noticed something more than half an hour ago. The subconscious mind has not yet been refrigerated. At this time, I feel something is wrong. Of course, the relevant memory is quickly called into the common folder.

"Well, interesting, you left Chinatown at the same time as me, but before that, I didn't notice you, little guy..."

The preliminary conclusion came out immediately. There was a high possibility that this car was following her. After all, she was two or three miles away from Chinatown, which was still the city center. What kind of probability is there for this car, which stepped on the accelerator at the same time as me, to drive all the way to this point?

Well, well, well, just as Alice turned a big bend on the bridge, it followed suit!

If this is not tracking, what is the probability?

Not to mention, Alice can really figure it out.

So, theoretically, the car "could" be following her, and practically...

"What a leg, let my old lady see where you released the little bird!"

How dare you follow her! ?

I'm fat!
