Chapter 180 The 7-Colored Dragon Palace Shines
Chapter 180 The Colorful Dragon Palace Shines
In the square at the entrance of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.
This day, after more than half a year of construction, was the day for the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completion of the Dragon Palace lighting project.
In the Dragon Palace Square, all the civil and military officials of the East China Sea Dragon Clan and a variety of seafood gathered together. Dragon King Ao Guang, the queen and the princess came in person to witness it together.
The aquatic people from the four major sea cities also came spontaneously and surrounded the square tightly.
The lighting project of Dragon Palace was completed first. Many Shui people were curious about what it would look like if the lamp poles erected at their doorsteps were lit, so they gathered in front of Dragon Palace to see the lighting effect.
People often think by inertia, thinking that the living environment of aquatic creatures is similar to that on land. That's just because they have watched too much SpongeBob SquarePants and mistook the vast ocean floor for Bikini Bottom.
In fact, aquatic creatures have always lived in an environment with weak light. The cold light emitted by orbs, lantern fish, and luminous algae has extremely low brightness, and only the outlines can be barely seen.
When reading with these light sources, the text is not very clear.
Many underwater programs are also shot in shallow coral reef areas, but shallow sea areas actually only account for a very small part of the ocean surface.
The average depth of the ocean is around 3000-4000 meters. When the water depth exceeds one thousand meters, there is no sunlight at all.
Even the wealthy Dragon Palace, with its lighting made of tens of thousands of priceless luminous pearls, looks like an indoor photo studio, and is not grand or bright enough.
The aquatic race's expectation of living in the light is much higher than that of the land races.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was ready, and several mermaid maids acted as hostesses, pulling up a blue ribbon.
As for why the blue ribbon was chosen, it was because the Dragon King suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder when it came to the red ribbon. When he saw it, he would think of his son Ao Bing who had died tragically, and his whole body would tremble uncontrollably. The Dragon Po would cry loudly at the sight of the red ribbon.
Therefore, a blue ribbon, the same color as the sea, was chosen for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"The completion of the lighting project represents the establishment of a long-term and stable cooperative relationship between the Jinling Sect and the Dragon Palace. It also represents the first cooperation between land and underwater, which is mutually beneficial and win-win..."
The Dragon King took the speech provided by Wen Rui and preached solemnly: "Master Wen brought light to the ocean. He established a chamber of commerce warehouse on the seabed, relying on the land and seabed economic cooperation corridor, with cultural exchange as the bond, and based on the principles of joint consultation, joint construction and sharing, to build a large channel for economic, trade and cultural exchanges between land and sea."
“I believe that from today on, the water tribe and the land tribe will be more closely connected, carry out all-round cooperation, overcome difficulties together and create brilliance together.”
……
The speech is of a high level and looks to the future.
But unfortunately, the audience were all uneducated fools and were completely confused by what they heard.
After speaking, the Dragon King picked up the crystal scissors and cut the blue silk into several pieces together with the Dragon Lady, Dragon Girl and Wen Rui.
Then the Dragon King and Wen Rui came to a large switch model that was not connected to the circuit at all, and the man and the dragon worked together to press the switch that symbolized power on.
When the switch was pressed, tens of thousands of LED lights inside and outside the Dragon Palace lit up at the same time, as if a flash bomb had been dropped on the seabed. The square was ablaze with light, and the surrounding aquatic people could not adapt for a moment, and they covered their eyes and screamed.
"Ahh, it's so bright!"
"My eyes can't see anything clearly."
"My eyes hurt so much!"
...Fortunately, all the civil and military officials in the court often patrol the sea and are adaptable to the strong light, so the Dragon King did not embarrass himself.
When the seafood were finally able to avoid being dazzled by the light, they looked at the Dragon Palace again and were all stunned.
The effect of the Dragon Palace after lighting up can be referred to the most prosperous entertainment city in modern metropolis. Almost every inch of the wall is inlaid with colorful lights, which constantly change colors according to the program, and the colorful light they emit is like a dream.
High-lumen spotlights are installed on the terrace and surrounding areas of the Dragon Palace, and thick beams of light shoot up into the sky.
The square in front of the Dragon Palace is surrounded by gorgeous and tall decorative lamp posts, and ground lamps are also installed on the ground to illuminate the entire square.
The eternal night of the deep sea is like the bright day on land; the people of the aquatic tribe have never seen each other's faces so clearly.
If that were all, it would not show Wen Rui's ability. He also installed a stage lighting system and laser grating effect lights on the front gate of Dragon Palace.
When the effect is fully turned on, under mechanical control, the laser grating weaves various patterns in the air, matching the mist formed by underwater plankton, it is like a cyber wonderland.
All the aquatic creatures in the square suddenly started to move strangely. Big fish, small fish, crabs and shrimps all seemed to be possessed. Even the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who were there to maintain order lost their rationality and pushed each other towards the Dragon Palace.
Seafood, generally speaking, is phototropic.
This is an instinct bestowed by nature, and even if one's spiritual intelligence is awakened, one cannot resist it.
The building materials of the Crystal Palace are conducive to refracting and reflecting light. When the lights are turned on, the dazzling light can be seen from a long distance.
Soon, in addition to the aquatic creatures in the square, schools of ignorant fish also gathered and paraded around the Dragon Palace, looking as if they were paying homage to the Dragon King together.
Such a scene fully demonstrates the demeanor of the Dragon King, the king of aquatic creatures, and even adds a sacred charm. It is truly impressive.
Even though the Dragon King had been to Heaven and seen the Golden Throne Room, when he looked at his own colorful Dragon Palace with special lighting effects, he felt that the Golden Throne Room was not as attractive.
A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own colorful dragon nest.
A broken iron rod that was sticking there and getting in the way actually brought about such a miraculous glow of light. No matter how Ao Guang thought about it, it was totally worth it.
"Mr. Wen, you are so conscientious in doing business. The actual effect of this lighting project is a hundred times better than I imagined!"
The Dragon King held onto Wen Rui's hand and refused to let go. He said excitedly, "I will send someone to invite my fellow Dragon King brothers to come and learn from them."
"Okay, okay." Wen Rui leaned close to Ao Guang's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, if you can act as a matchmaker and promote the Jinling Sect's lighting project in front of the other Dragon Kings, once the project agreement is signed, I will give you two points..."
Dragon girl Ao Lan was also deeply shocked by the bright light show of the Crystal Palace. When she heard her father and Wen Rui whispering, she always felt that something was wrong, and her doubts grew.
As the daughter of Ao Guang, she and her father had received many gods or demon sages who came to the Dragon Palace. Those guys came to the Dragon Palace just to ask for things and then left.
Although Ao Lan was unwilling and felt deeply ashamed, he gradually got used to it after so many years and understood how the strong people in the three realms viewed the Dragon Palace.
It was the first time in history that someone had reciprocated a favor and given such an attractive reward in exchange for the treasure, which was actually a bit unusual.
The gods and demons who took the treasure and left were after that treasure.
Something must be wrong when things are abnormal. Ao Lan became more and more suspicious that Master Wen was setting bait to catch dragons. His intention was big, and he might be targeting the dragon tribes in the four seas, or even the entire ocean aquatic tribe!
