The view here is really amazing, no matter how long the 'Jusen' lives on it, you can't see such a refreshing sea view, it is as green as jade, and it looks so quiet. ”

Zhu Youran was lying on the balcony on the top floor of more than 100 meters high, Rao was well-informed, and she was still very intoxicated.

The sea beneath your feet is actually not very calm.

Although Lanfang is located at the equator, there are no days with winds above level 10, and the instantaneous winds are the highest throughout the year when they are level eight, and today's winds are about two to three level breezes.

However, whether the sea is calm or not is obviously inversely proportional to the height, and the higher you look at the sea, the more quiet and small it feels, so so many guests who take helicopters to visit the Great Barrier Reef feel so beautiful and peaceful.

At this moment, Zhu Youran is on the top floor of the Burj Al Arab, which is four or five times higher than the height of the cabin on the top floor of the "Zhu Sen", and of course the feeling is different. And without the noise of helicopters, this feeling is really who lives and who knows, words cannot describe it.

Zhu Youran was basking in the sun and looking at the sea through the glass roof, the cool breeze of the air conditioner in the house was blowing, and when she was about to faint, Gu Kun hugged her from behind and proudly introduced: "This is satisfied? Show you a little trick, you must be even more surprised." ”

Zhu Youran smiled slightly: "What else, I've seen sharks on the top floor, can you still come up with surprises?"

Gu Kun was mysteriously proud: "Then you are too underestimated 'the most luxurious hotel in the world', if it is only to this extent, how can I be embarrassed to charge 300,000 a night, come, I will show you a 'sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, flying down three thousand feet', this is still specially designed by me to take care of Qin Ya." ”

Of course, Qin Ya is only the chief engineer of the structure, and the specific details of this new gadget that Gu Kun is about to show will definitely require the participation of a senior water supply and drainage engineer from the Tongji Construction Institute, and the assistance of the engineer of the Great Sea Institute, but there is no need to tell a layman like Zhu Youran about these details.

Gu Kun said, led Zhu Youran to a room next to him, opened the control panel of a bar, and then guided Zhu Youran to control: "You press this touch screen button." ”

Zhu Youran looked at it, and there was an LCD touch screen in front of him, which looked very advanced in 01, and the touch sensitivity was very silky and comfortable: "Why are there two buttons on it? What is the difference?"

"You'll know if you try it, who made you not come yesterday. Gu Kun mysteriously sold a pass.

"If you call me for the ceremony, don't show your head!" Zhu Youran hammered her husband with a small fist, and then pressed the touch screen button of 'front'.

Then she heard some murmuring water under her feet, and couldn't help but panic, and then looked around carefully, and noticed that the curtain wall of the fish tank in the suite where sharks, jellyfish, and corals were raised, and the water level began to drop slightly.

But soon, there were bursts of muffled multi-stage vacuum pump sounds under her feet - of course, with Zhu Youran's science and engineering knowledge, she obviously didn't know that it was a multi-stage vacuum pump, only that it was a slight noise like the sound of gurgling water.

As everyone knows, Gu Kun spent tens of millions of dollars to upgrade the entire pump pressure system for this silent effect, which is the only seven-star hotel in the world, how can guests feel irritated by the noise of living in the house.

Then, Zhu Youran saw that the top of the curtain wall of the fish tank began to add water again to balance the water level in the bathtub on the curtain wall, and then the sound of rushing began to come from the direction of the outer wall.

Zhu Youran rushed to the balcony in surprise, looked down in horror, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he had stepped on an artificial waterfall under his feet.

"Is this a change in the water for shark farming? Fresh seawater just pumped from the sea is replaced? Man-made waterfall so high?" Zhu Youran is also a college student, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, he understood this surprise.

It's really an unprecedented extravagance.

......

Gu Kun watched his wife's performance and was also very satisfied.

This is a tossing technique that he borrowed from many high-end luxury buildings in later generations and integrated it into the Burj Al Arab, in order to fully crush Diba's peers who will open next year.

The practice of "opening a waterfall on the glass curtain wall of a high-rise building" was later seized by a high-rise luxury hotel in Oceania, and the Burj Al Arab Hotel of the Dibba people does not have this function, but I have to admit that this prop is also a very effective artifact to show off wealth.

This thing is actually a bit less difficult than a fountain of the same height. After all, the fountain has to be sprayed so high in one go, and the man-made waterfall can make a multi-stage reservoir, and the technical requirements for each jet pump can be reduced. In later generations, the fountain on the lake at the entrance of a railway station could spray seventy or eighty meters high, so the artificial waterfall above 150 meters is technically easy to achieve. It's just that the operating costs are very high, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars a day to pump electricity.

The design of this artificial fountain of the Lanfang Burj Al Arab Hotel, in fact, is the first stage pump 60 meters below, which is the internal space of the hollow main load-bearing steel column, and the water enters from the bottom of the seabed foundation, so that there will be no opening in the first 60 meters of height.

When it came to a place more than sixty meters high, about the 14th floor, Gu Kun specially set aside a floor to cancel all the guest rooms, and the entire floor was used as an equipment layer and fire shelter - many super high-rise buildings, every fifty meters or a hundred meters, will set up such a tool layer. Although the Burj Al Arab is less than 200 meters high, it is said that there is no need, but Gu Kun still wasted this layer of supporting facilities very arrogantly.

What's more, the Chinese world originally felt that the 14th floor was unlucky, and many hotels did not have the 14th floor, so they jumped out when they named the floor directly. Gu Kun disdained to do the kind of work that jumped 13 and 14, so he simply turned the 14th floor into a tool layer that couldn't help people.

In this tool layer, a large reservoir is set up in a part of the space, which can not only store water, but also play a role in stabilizing the structure and resisting wind, further increasing the damping and reducing the shaking of the upper floors. Even if the building is less than 200 meters away, there is actually nothing to shake, Gu Kun does not hesitate to keep improving.

Under such an increased wind shake damping design, even the royal suite on the top floor will definitely not sway more than 5 centimeters when encountering the largest eighth-level wind force in the history of the Lanfang area, which is almost equal to no shaking.

You must know that the height of the World Trade Center Building is equivalent to 2.5 to 3 times the height of the Burj Al Arab Hotel, and the wind can shake more than 1 meter, according to the same proportion, the Burj Al Arab 10 gale shakes 30 centimeters, and the 8-level wind shakes 20 centimeters, even if it passes, now Gu Kun's actual indicators are four times better than the passing line, which is not called excellence, there will be no excellence in the world.

In addition, the reservoirs located on the 14th floor and even above can also play a role in fire isolation in case of emergency, release water in time to block the fire source, and ensure the safety of this seven-star hotel.

On the 14th floor of the cistern, there are sections further up because the hollow main load-bearing steel columns need to be opened, and there is no need to elaborate on the technical details of how to "make the water as noiseless as possible, or only use a calming sound similar to the sound of dripping rain to the top floor".

However, there is one sentence that must be mentioned, that is, this design also played a certain auxiliary role in Gu Kun's deception of Mr. Mahathir and other potential competitor investors - after Gu Kun announced the fountain, as long as outsiders are allowed to visit "how to achieve silent water transmission", then the same designers will know that "the building with this load-bearing column structure can only be built at a maximum".

Further, it will be able to deduce the performance of "If Lanfang Tower also borrows the idea of the Burj Al Arab, then how high can Lanfang Tower be built at most".

If Gu Kun sprinkled smoke bombs again, expressing his interest in copying the decoration and landscape design of the Burj Al Arab on Lanfang Tower in the future, and refreshing his own world record of "the world's highest man-made waterfall", then he would be able to deceive Mahathir even more, and absolutely believe that the structural design of Lanfang Tower is the "B plan" copied from the design idea of the Burj Al Arab.

......

There are a lot of twists and turns in the principle, but in fact, the spectacle revealed on the surface is so simple, there is only a waterfall with a strong atmosphere.

While Zhu Youran was playing with the waterfall on the top floor, the residents who participated in the ceremony on the lower floors were shocked and inexplicable.

Zhu Youran pressed the forward button of the waterfall for the first time, so the water from the shark pool on the top floor flowed down the front glass curtain wall of the Burj Al Arab.

As we all know, the front and back of the Burj Al Arab are bulging on the front, just like the shell shape of the Sydney Opera House, like the sail is full of wind tension, and the back is the windy side, which will be slightly curved and concave inward.

Therefore, when pouring the waterfall with the drainage outlet of the front curtain wall, the height of the waterfall is not very high, and after the water rushes down more than ten meters, it slowly flows down against the bulging glass curtain wall, and as the sailboat curtain wall goes to the lower floor area, the waterfall water flow is more and more dispersed, and finally it is almost just a thin layer of wall washing water curtain.

However, when all the guests saw this scene, they did not feel that it was not atmospheric at all, but felt very elegant.

Especially the guests who like exquisite and elegant Huaxia and Yueben, they have sighed:

"This artistic conception, Yulin Ling, people grow and hate water and grow east, it is too quiet. ”

"This wall washer is well washed, and the curtain wall glass is so clean every day, just like the spider man who hangs every day has just wiped it. And as soon as this waterfall opens, it feels cool without turning on the central air conditioning. Originally, Lan Fang was so hot...... This is supposed to be pumped from the cool water of the seabed to make the waterfall. ”

The guests were not mistaken, but the seawater used for this waterfall was not taken directly from the sea, but a seepage pipe pond under the coral sand was excavated and buried in the nearby seabed, and the seawater used for the waterfall was pumped from this underwater underground pool.

After pumping, the pool forms a cavity, and the seawater on it is filtered through the coral sand and seeped into the pool, and then pumped up, so that the water is free of any solid impurities except for some salt.

The water temperature can also be cooler, and the hotel curtain wall is directly cooled by water, which is very tall. Although pumping water costs tens of thousands of yuan per day, it saves a considerable part of the electricity cost of central air conditioning.

Of course, there are also professional guests who will question the durability of this design: "Seawater is salty, and the curtain wall is poured with seawater every day, the glass will not corrode, and the aluminum alloy window frame is estimated to be rotten soon, and the safety is worrying." ”

However, this question was quickly answered by a professional guest who knew the inside story better: "This is a layman! Who told you that this hotel is made of aluminum alloy glass curtain wall and window frames? All the exterior wall frames that may be touched by sea water are made of titanium alloy!"

Moreover, the glass curtain wall is originally hung on each floor, and it is not load-bearing, so there is no way to solve this kind of thing as safety, a super tyrant like Gu Kun can't solve it?"

As soon as I heard that all the window frames were specially made into titanium alloys for the cooling function of this water curtain, countless guests were secretly speechless, and they had to admit that they were really rich enough to be seven stars, and they deserved it.

......

After Zhu Youran enjoyed the waterfall for more than half an hour, the guests below also admired it for so long. Maybe Zhu Youran was tired of playing, so she went back to the house to operate the control panel and pressed the "back waterfall" button on the touch screen.

After a while, the water outlet and outlet valves of the pool were adjusted, and the water supply in the front section remained the same, and the drainage became the back wall of the Burj Al Arab and poured down.

The back wall of the sailboat is sunken, imitating the appearance of a sail being sunken by the wind, so looking down from the top floor and looking down at the bottom of your feet is nothing but daunting heights. And when the waterfall flows down from this side, it will not be blocked by the structure of the floor below, but will actually flow down to 3,000 feet.

Well, to be honest, it's actually just a flying stream of more than 500 feet, not as exaggerated as 3,000.

A gentle breeze blew, and the waterfall, which had only a few cubic meters of runoff per second, was quickly blown away at a height of more than 150 meters, turning from a slender water curtain into a cloud-like fairyland.

The guests on the lower floors didn't react at first, and then rushed to the other side of the hotel to watch the spectacle. The guest rooms are not on the north-facing depression side, so they have to run downstairs to the north-facing public gym and restaurant to watch.

"The appearance of this sail is a little meaningful, you can see the clouds and mist drifting back, it really looks like this Burj Al Arab is breaking the waves on the sea. ”

"It's obviously a hotel that doesn't move, but it looks like a yacht, which is really amazing. One day, I must live in the royal suite for 300,000 nights, and control this waterfall with my own hands. ”

"Gu Ye's artistic conception can't be done by those who don't have big hills and ravines in their chests. ”

Almost all the distinguished guests were dumbfounded, and they had to admit that although they were all rich and knew how to enjoy, they had never seen such a luxurious scenery after living for half their lives.

About 100 meters before the fall of the waterfall, you can still see the waterfall that has taken shape, but at the end of the 50 or 60 meters from the sea, there is basically no trace, but clouds that flutter in the direction of the wind.

It is impossible to see the clouds fluttering so low in the normal landscape, but here you can, the clouds lower than the sails give the still sails an incomparable sense of movement, and occasionally you can see the rainbow flickering in the meantime, reflecting the reflection of the glass curtain wall, magnificent and mysterious.

"I hope that for the remaining four months of the year, this suite will not be vacated for a single day to ensure 100% occupancy. How about it, after looking at this scenery, do you think my expectations will be realized?" After playing with his wife for a while, Gu Kun said arrogantly to Zhu Youran.
