Chapter 1084: You Can Try It Jump~

The reporters present thought that they had climbed to the height of 20 floors, but they were standing on a "toy" made of wooden blocks, and everyone's hearts were about to jump out!

Many female reporters exclaimed, "No!", and sat on the ground in fright.

Even Brother Hai, Gu Rang, Hu Yinan and others all changed their faces and became uncontrollably afraid.

Su Huai looked at Carney's pale face, where there was still a little bit of unbelief in evil, and he also laughed, and quipped:

"Brother Kani, if you want to see if this mortise and tenon structure is strong or not, you can jump hard here and shake the steps to see if this stupa will shake. ”

"Don't!!" Mrs. Cara next to her couldn't help but scream, and many people were so frightened that they wanted to run down, but Speaker Brown yelled at this time:

"Don't run!!Don't run!! violent shaking will cause the resonance of the building, and the dense footsteps will cause the structure to collapse here!"

Those who screamed and wanted to flee in the wilderness suddenly weakened their legs, and many of them sat on the ground, so frightened that they almost lost their breath.

Who would have thought that the whole pagoda was actually made of mortise and tenon joints!! and this Su Huai was simply crazy! How could he build such a tall building with building blocks!

Su Huai was still light and light at this time, and pointed to the structure under the top of the tower with a folding fan and explained:

"Speaker Brown, you see, this structure is called the dougong, which is a high-level usage of the mortise and tenon structure, and it is a unique structural form of ancient Chinese architecture, relying on it to connect the beams, fangs, and columns into one.

This stupa shares 54 different kinds of dougongs, with three types of paving methods: column heads, corners, and tweens......"

As he spoke, Su Huai smiled at the already stunned crowd:

"Please don't worry, in fact, there were more than one or two wooden towers with mortise and tenon structure in ancient China, and they all stood for hundreds of years before the catastrophe.

The biggest advantage of mortise and tenon structure, in fact, is earthquake-resistant, because the node of the timber frame is not just connected, which ensures the stiffness coordination of the building, when encountering a strong earthquake, the use of mortise and tenon joint space structure will be 'loose' but will not 'fall apart', can consume the energy from the earthquake, so that the seismic load of the whole house is greatly reduced, played the role of earthquake resistance. ”

After speaking, Su Huai noticed Nishiki Weaving, who was already scared against the wall, gasping for breath, and comforted:

"Mr. Nishiki don't have to be afraid, do you remember what you just said, why does Huaxia architecture like to make upturned eaves, thinking that it is purely for beauty?

Actually, this is a big misunderstanding.

Our ancient Chinese buildings, in the interior of the use of the form of the arch, the extension of the mechanics with the eaves, is a special force transmission of the intermediary, the arch of the eaves evenly support, plus the eaves, can play a role in balance and stability, in this way, can greatly increase the seismic capacity under the earthquake. ”

Just now, Jin Zhiyi commented on the flashy architecture of China, it turned out that the real key was here, but this "Flower and Bird Poetry Saint" was slapped in the face by Su Shengren, but he didn't dare to refute it at all, because at this moment he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Su Huai was not bragging!!!

After all, all human lives are in his hands!

On top of this tower made of wooden blocks, almost 100 people came up!

Why didn't you say it earlier? Say it earlier, we won't come up if we are killed!

Speaker Brown looked up at the complex dougong structure above his head, and was directly stunned, and said with his mouth wide open:

"This, how is it possible...... The tower is 67 meters high and is entirely spliced of wood, which is 1/20 stronger than modern steel......"

In other words, building a tower of nearly 67 meters from wood is equivalent to building with steel for 1,200 meters, which is definitely not something that modern architectural ideas can do!!

This is a marvel in the history of architecture......

Su Huai sighed with regret on his face at this time:

"This wooden tower is actually an imitation, the Shakya Tower of Shanxi Ying County in the Liao Dynasty, but this is not the highest wooden tower in ancient China, introduced in the classics, the highest wooden tower in China is, the Yongning Temple Tower of Luoyang City in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is recorded in the literature to be 490 feet, that is, 91 meters......

It's a pity that our craftsmanship is not up to the level of the time, and we can't rebuild the 91-meter-high wooden pagoda~~"

The people next to me are going to faint when they hear it, my mother~~ If you build this 67-meter, you will die, and you are going to build 91 meters!!

When everyone was scared and their legs were weak, Ren Na heard that it was earthquake-resistant, and her face was full of surprise:

"Hey, this wood also has an anti-earthquake function?I'll try it~" said and jumped high, "Knock!" "Knock!" "Knock!" fell on the wooden floor, everyone felt that the wooden floor was shaking, and suddenly someone was so frightened that they screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground.

Carney was so frightened that his face was bloodless, his legs were weak against the wall, and he didn't dare to move a single step.

Guo Wei spread his hands beside him and said with a smile: "Alas, my master is so lively, there is no way." "I'm going to laugh in my heart, just like you, do you still want to soak Renna?

Looking at Brother Hai, Gu Rang's face was full of horror, but Su Huai winked at them and whispered:

"Teacher Hai, don't worry, Teacher Gu, I'm fooling them, the practical steel structure inside the main beam, the technology of building a tower with a bucket arch, has been lost......"

Although he has seen the materials related to the Shakya Pagoda, he is not an architectural expert after all, so how can he draw architectural drawings.

And even if he is an architectural major, it is useless, because in his original time and space, after the Shakya Pagoda in this county was damaged, the local government organized experts to repair it, but after research, no solution was reached.

Because experts don't understand the principle of the process, the miraculous construction technology has long been lost.

And the dougong structure of the pagoda in front of him, in fact, he made a model, not the main load-bearing at all, just a gimmick.

Brother Hai and Gu Rang were relieved when they heard this, and they also laughed secretly in their hearts, they originally wanted to stomp their feet to scare these Europeans and Americans, but they really couldn't muster the courage to try...... I'm afraid that I will knock this tower down with one foot.

At this moment, Su Shengren took the lead in reaching the top, and the media reporters and the Security Council Committee could only bite the bullet.

Everyone came to the observation deck on the top floor, overlooking the entire Xihu Scenic Area, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy.

Looking down from this height, the pieces of Song Dynasty buildings, simple and elegant in this landscape, look particularly harmonious, without any sense of abruptness at all.

This natural style is obviously what Chinese aesthetics pursue.

Looking at the stream and lake, it is like a treasure mirror inlaid with jade, reflecting mountains, bridges, forests and trees.

Under the golden sun, the lake is so quiet that there is no ripple, like a girl who is ready to get married, covered with a thin veil, shy and gentle, which is intoxicating.

Everyone was frightened and frightened just now, but they all gradually calmed down in the beautiful scenery of this stream and lake.
