Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant - Chapter 465

  Chapter 465 Moncalieri Palace

  In late March, the cruise company sent a notice that the world’s largest cruise ship “Queen Joanna II” ordered by An Feng more than three years ago had been completed and was about to go on trial voyage. It was originally estimated that the construction time would be two and a half years, but due to the onset of disease, it was delayed to more than three years, and now it is finally completed.

  Currently, the cost of this 250,000-ton super cruise ship is 2.6 billion US dollars, which is not as high as An Feng’s estimate of more than 3 billion. It seems quite…frugal. But after he was notified, he already regretted it a bit. The mooring of this behemoth was a big trouble.

  Originally he planned that the Queen II would take the Mediterranean route, centering on Sardinia, and traveling around the sea for a week. This idea is very good. The Mediterranean Sea is also a popular route for cruise tourism, but the problem is that the ports of call cannot meet the conditions, and there are only a few ports along the way that meet the conditions.

  Finally, he had to compromise with reality. The Queen II could not travel happily in the Mediterranean Sea, so he decided to send it to the most popular cruise tourist area in the world—the Caribbean Sea. The local area is probably one of the few areas in the world where super cruise ships can be parked smoothly along the way.

Therefore, the world’s largest, most luxurious, and most royal cruise ship missed Europe. It will sail along the Atlantic Ocean to Florida. Ocean Shipping Company will help Anfeng manage the cruise ship, and it is expected to make its maiden voyage in May. , but the date of Joanna’s visit to the United States.

   If she can attend the inaugural ceremony and leave some photos of the event, it will be icing on the cake. The name of the cruise ship is taken from the real queen, and all aspects of equipment are also built according to top specifications. With so many titles, it will definitely attract tourists from all over the world, and thus become famous overseas.

  It is only March now, and there is still some time before May.

   Conventionally, Joanna continued to visit European countries, mainly focusing on developed countries.

  As the husband of the queen, An Feng also accompanied him all the way, just like the “intimate” evaluation given by the outside world, the queen must have him on every important occasion. The gestures of the two people’s eyebrows have also been captured by countless cameras, and they can be regarded as a model of happiness among royal couples.

  After returning from their trip to Norway in April, they visited the Moncalieri Palace.

The palace is about to be completed. More than 10,000 robots work day and night at a high density. The main construction has been completed as early as December, and the interior decoration will start after January, such as doors, windows, glass and other home decoration work. According to the progress, it is expected Delivery in August.

   This is a marvel of construction speed.

From June last year, when the land was leveled, to July, when the construction officially started, the main body of the building only took more than five months. According to Eve’s calculations, this is equivalent to about six years of normal labor. The architect used a lot of computer drawings, just Even the details of the sculpture are stored in the computer.

The 3D printer accurately restores the building. Although it is not hand-carved and has the feeling of an assembly line, it is more special—as the first royal palace completely made by a 3D printer, it is more significant than continuing the previous routine, so the designer No fuss.

  When it was about to be completed, the architect invited them to visit.

  First of all, considering the future environment, the surroundings of the palace have been rectified. A spacious two-way six-lane lane passes through the entrance. There are no towering buildings around, and the view is spacious. There is a fountain square in front of the palace. As a public area, it can accommodate 300,000 people during celebrations or gatherings.

  There are traffic lanes on both sides of the square, and a row of iron fences stretching to the left and right. The center is a magnificent gate, but it is not usually used. Vehicles usually enter through the side doors on both sides. There are guards standing guard at the main entrance, and a sentry box is set up nearby, which can be used for rest and preparation for the changing of the guard.

They took a battery car to visit the palace slowly, first entered from the main entrance, in front of them was a row of white and blue buildings, about 50 meters away from the front garden, this distance was just enough to ensure the quietness of the palace, without being disturbed by the outside world, but it was acceptable The attention of the masses.

Because it is a royal palace, it is used in many ways. If it is a grand ceremony such as the marriage of royal family members or enthronement, it is customary to stand on the balcony and wave to the crowd celebrating in the square. If you want to make a short speech, you must let people with good eyesight See exactly who is speaking.

From the outside, the palace is not huge—different from the super rich that the royal family gives to the outside world, this colorful and lively palace is a “[“-shaped building with a straight row and two ends turning back, with a total length of more than 150 Meters, 12 meters high, 15 meters wide, very strict proportions.

  Its appearance is not as majestic as palaces in other countries, but because it is for people to live in rather than a museum, the French king himself doesn’t like the emptiness of the Palace of Versailles, and it is even more boring to live there. Therefore, the color continues the style of Santa Barbara, which is very bright and lively.

  The most dazzling appearance is the golden dome in the center of the building, with the white cross flag and the royal family flag inserted.

  But other areas have reduced the use of local tyrant gold, trying to reflect the style of the royal family. On the front of the palace is a loggia with stone pillars, and directly in front of the door is a fountain. In the center of the pool is a marble sculpture, with naked women and warriors surrounding the stone pillars, and the water is diffuse.

  Bypassing the fountain, the first floor is mainly used for administrative offices.

  The most important thing is the news hall, which will be the queen’s administrative area, with luxurious decoration, and foreign officials will be guests here when they visit. There is a small office inside the chamber… Well, the palace should not be described as “small”, it is prepared for the queen and assistants.

  In the back of the news hall, there is an audience hall for the monarch, where the monarch meets his subjects and listens to the report of the prime minister. It is relatively spacious here, and is generally used for the Queen’s speech or the monarch’s conferring ceremony. There are special steps in the room, with a throne on top, which has a very royal atmosphere.

  Continue to go inside, there is also a living room, the layout tends to be the living room, there are furniture and tea tables, and the environment used tends to be informal. Inside is the slightly smaller living room, or the living room, which is furnished in a home-casual style, where you can choose for usual family entertainment.

  There is a concert hall on the right. Spaciousness and luxury are the first elements, and it is also an area with more gold plating. Then there is the main banquet hall, which is not commonly used by families, but it is generally held here for state banquets and receptions for foreign guests. It is characterized by luxury, and it can accommodate hundreds of people for dinner after the long table is arranged.

   At the end are some exhibition halls of the royal family, which are divided into study rooms and antique collection halls. They are not used for private use, but are used for entertaining foreign guests. Like the previous halls, it is still in the later stage of decoration, and the lighting, central air conditioning, geothermal heating or ceiling painting must be completed as soon as possible.

  The main part of the first floor is the upper hall.

  Go up the stairs to the second floor. The space here is mostly for private use, and the layout is exquisite and full of life-like atmosphere. The rich gold only exists on the decorations. On the left and right sides is an inner corridor with a vault, about seven meters high. Use some church stained glass for the second story windows.

  There are a total of five balconies protruding outward in the inner corridor. The central balcony is the most spacious, facing the square and the street, and it is also a place where members of the royal family occasionally show up. Standing there and looking out, the field of vision is wide, and now you can see vehicles passing by occasionally in front of the square, but there are very few people.

   There are 25 bedrooms arranged in various styles on the second floor, concentrated on both sides of the end, and each has stairs leading to the first floor. The area up from the central welcoming staircase has been transformed into a study room, party hall, dance hall and family restaurant. It will also be an area commonly used by the family.

  Take a tour, the decoration is not yet over, but the effect is good, as the palace that will be passed on, not only this monarch, but also future monarchs will continue to use it. Therefore, the design concept is advanced, and the circuit system is also carefully designed to ensure long-term use and easy replacement.

   Taking into account both living and face, it is already impeccable. And it won’t last long, Joanna doesn’t plan to be a queen for the rest of her life, she will abdicate when the time is right, and the abdicated queen will definitely not live in the palace. Located by the sea, the mansion under construction is her ideal home.

As for the back garden, it continues the atmosphere of the royal family and focuses on face-saving projects, so the design of the garden is very particular. The garden is symmetrical on the left and right. There is a flat road in the center, paved with gravel, and there is a square pool hundreds of meters long in front. On both sides are roads and gardens.

  The back garden tends to be used for ornamental purposes, with a beautiful appearance, but the actual use needs to be taken by car because of its huge size. In fact, it is more suitable to be smaller in this respect, but because it is a royal palace, the designer has considered a lot. The only compromise is the stables, which are allowed to own stables, and you can usually ride horses.

   As for other entertainment, such as swimming pools, there is no such thing.

  An Feng said: “I guess we have to put more surprises in St. Elmo.”

“The royal palace, which is both administrative and office-oriented, cannot be modified according to one’s wishes. After all, it will welcome many guests, including foreign guests.” Joanna said, she is clear about this, “so I insisted on designing a family-style The house, too.”

   “You still have a vision.” An Feng looked back at the palace, “I have lived here for a long time, and I need to change my taste and go to a place full of life.”

   “I agree.” Joanna said, “Also, that place is no longer called ‘House’.”

“why?”

  Joanna explains: “Since we built a lot there, the residents have given it a name, ‘Palazzo-Giovanna.’”

   “Giovanna’s Palace.” An Feng could understand the Italian, “Who is so thoughtful, and specially changed our unnamed house into a palace?”

   “I don’t know about that.” Joanna shook her head.

  An Feng opened the car door for her, followed her into the car, and said, “After that, we have to grow trees around to protect the privacy of us stars.”

   “I agree.” Joanna nodded, “But the place is not small, I have seen it a few times, there are beaches and oceans, it will be very comfortable for leisure use.”

   “We will retire there in the future.” An Feng said.

   “Looking forward.” She smiled, “However, what are you going to do with the remaining robots?”

“Try not to let them be idle during the big development.” An Feng said, “Oh, last time an official told me that there are relatively few residents in the northern Nuoro area, and our private land is also there. Land and slightly bullied mountains with lots of wildlife.”

   “Hall Hunt?” she said.

   “That’s a good word!” An Feng nodded, “Build a hunting palace there for leisure, and there are more than 20,000 acres of idle land there.”
