Chapter 2139: Building
"What's that?" The Seventh Princess pointed to a huge'stick' in the distance.
Everyone else looked over as well.
Phoenix looked over using the binoculars he carried with him.
"That looks like a large building."
Zhao Chen looked over and guessed what it was without much thought.
"I didn't expect it to be completed so quickly."
"That's fast!" Zhao Chen himself could hardly believe it.
It seems like the entire process took less than a year... not even ten months.
"Is that really a building?" Hydrodia asked incredulously.
"Yes.
It is the tallest building in our Dragon Kingdom.
It is known as the Kowloon Building.
However, this was also the first time I had ever seen a real building.
I saw the construction plan for this building when I left the Kingdom of the Wraiths.
"If I remember correctly, this building has 108 floors, and its height, including the antenna at the top, should be 352 meters," Zhao Chen recalled.
"Three hundred and fifty-two meters?" Everyone was shocked.
This was a building they had never seen before.
This is not just a simple building.
This represents the industrial strength, skilled workers, and wealth of the Dragon Kingdom.
And there's one more crucial point.
The group from the Western Continent all knew about the Kingdom of the Wraith Dragon from their companions who had visited it before.
But at that time, we had never heard of the Dragon Kingdom having built such a tall building!
When the Third Prince of Aalborg returned, he only said that the Kingdom of Xiaolong was carrying out a large-scale construction project, with many places building high-rise buildings equipped with elevators.
Buildings with seventeen or twenty-something floors are commonplace.
The last time the Third Prince of Aalborg came was not long ago.
This indirectly shows that the construction time of the Kowloon Building was very short, less than twenty months, or even less than a year.
The fact that such a high-rise building was completed in less than a year speaks volumes about the formidable industrial strength behind it.
"We'll be hosting a welcome dinner in this building tonight," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the crowd felt excited and full of anticipation.
...
When you actually stand on top of this building, a sense of fear arises in the hearts of some people.
"Second brother, don't you always say you're very brave?"
"I didn't expect you to be afraid of heights too." The Seventh Princess stood on the edge of the glass window, looking down at the transparent glass below.
Then she looked at the Second Prince behind her, who dared not come forward.
"I...I..." The second prince wanted to explain, but looking at the scenery and the height, he hesitated.
He instantly felt dizzy and lightheaded, and his legs felt weak.
"I'm not doing so well anymore either."
"That's way too high." Governor Pedro waved his hand, his face somewhat pale.
"You'll get used to it after a little while."
"This way, please." Barbara's secretary led the way.
Soon, the group arrived at a rooftop restaurant.
A huge round table is placed here.
To accommodate people with a fear of heights.
One half of the round table is on glass, while the other half rests on the floor.
“We’ll sit here.” Consul Pedro and Prince Aalborg II disregarded all formalities and chose their seats directly.
Normally, the seating arrangement should depend on how the host decides to arrange it.
"Don't worry about those formalities, everyone can sit wherever they like." Zhao Chen had already taken his seat in the main seat.
"Then I'll sit outside."
The scenery outside is still better.
"This is my first time eating a meal a hundred meters in the air!" Princess Aalborg said excitedly as she sat in her chair, looking down at the people in the city below who looked smaller than ants.
A toy-like little car.
"This feeling is completely different from sitting in a fighter jet." Hydrodia, also filled with curiosity about the new thing, sat on the glass.
