Chapter 386: True Honeycomb
Standing on the ground, looking up at the pale white translucent eggshell-shaped building in front of him, Liu Shumeng tried his best to avoid bursting out foul language.

"Boss, I've really convinced you! Why did you lay so many eggs at once?"
Liu Haiyang, who was accompanying the guests, smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "You have to ask the fourth child, the original idea of this design plan was proposed by him." β
In front of them was a very peculiar building, with a smooth curved shell that looked translucent, and you could see the green shadows of the trees and the colorful figures moving back and forth inside.
If you look down from a high altitude at this time, you will find that the building that appears in front of them has an obvious symmetrical shape, which looks like a few white eggs squeezed together, as the distance closes, you can "see through" the translucent membrane structure of the latter, giving people the feeling that it is like 6 hemispherical yogurt jelly surrounded by a hemispherical jelly, spread on top of a flat round saucer, but this saucer, this jelly is obviously not for people to eat, the size difference is too big!
Approaching, through the translucent membrane structure, everyone can see the regular hexagonal skeleton structure connected to each other, not as technical and artistic as the different irregular frames of the Water Cube, but it also gives people a shocking feeling, after all, this "hive" is wider, taller, and larger.
With a width of more than 200 meters (240 meters in diameter) and a height of more than 15 floors (dome height of 60 meters), the building was built using an ETFE inflatable membrane structure similar to the National Swimming Center "Water Cube", but with a much larger footprint and volume.
"Tsk, the shape is very much like a beehive, especially like the kind of beehive with beeswax blocked at the exit, but this color is not quite right!"
Temporary tour guide Liu Haiyang explained: " The pure beeswax is naturally white, but the natural beeswax is usually integrated with fat-soluble carrot pigment, so it is usually brownish-yellow, and the exposed old honeycomb will also accumulate due to oxidation and dust stains, and the color will gradually deepen, but our greenhouse uses the same ETFE ethylene tetrafluoroethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer film as the Water Cube, which has self-cleaning ability, light transmittance and thermal insulation, and is naturally made transparent to play its greatest advantage. β
"So you've got such a big plastic greenhouse?"
Liu Haiyang choked for a moment, and then said: "Actually, this place is the most suitable for the night to see like the Water Cube, and it is indeed a little unphotogenic to look at it during the day, but when you come to see it at night, as soon as the lights are turned on, it feels different all of a sudden, and it will definitely make you feel like Pandora is coming!"
He was actually on Ludao when old friends gathered before, but he didn't go, but left Liu Shumeng and them to participate in the weekend friendship activities.
In order to give full play to the advantages of the company's male and female examples, and avoid the "endless period of fat and water", Bee holds a single dog party every weekend, oh no, it is a camping and social activity for single employees. Originally, Liu Haiyang was not keen on this, but when he thought that the second, third and fourth children were all married, and his single dog still should not be mixed into other people's husband and wife friendship activities, so he ran to sign up for the employee friendship.
As compensation for releasing Liu Shumeng's pigeons, this time it was his turn to take Liu Shumeng and Feng Yalan and his wife to visit the bee garden.
The "New Hive" headquarters building project in front of you is naturally the most important thing to visit.
In fact, this is also Liu Shumeng's family does not know about the British Eden Project (Edenproject), the world's largest greenhouse project built at the beginning of the century in 2001, otherwise he will definitely ask: Do you want to do a good job? How did you directly move the British Eden to China?
In fact, the inspiration for the new bee hive project is really related to the environmental protection public welfare project in the UK, but it is not a relationship between plagiarism and imitation of micro-innovation, in fact, the design team of this building is also looking for the original team to do it.
The original version in the UK is composed of 8 bubble domes of different sizes, and because it is really used to plant flowers and trees and transplant tropical plants, it does not form a symmetrical "six-petal flower shape" like the bees, but is divided into two groups along the terrain to make full use of daylight.
However, the bee "hive" is used for office and exhibition, and the use of transparent membrane structure dome is only to implement the concept of environmental protection, and I don't care much about the lack of light caused by the cluster.
In contrast, the current design saves both space and materials, and the benefits are even greater.
Membrane structure building has a history of more than 20 years abroad, and the domestic audience knows this architectural form from the 08 Olympic Games swimming venue water cube, but also from that time, a variety of membrane structure buildings more and more, especially in the new century, in addition to matchbox commercial housing on the land of the motherland, other office buildings and public buildings in addition to the pursuit of "xx highest", "xx largest", also began to pay attention to some appearance and technical labels, and thus led to the emergence of a large number of "new special" buildings, Although some experts and the media have denounced it as a testing ground for architectural firms from all over the world to experiment with new architectural styles and technologies, it is better for most Chinese people to come, whether it is "Oriental Autumn Pants" or "Star Gate Ring", it is better than the "original White House" and "County City Tower".
Although this "super greenhouse" was built in less than a year, it was actually only a steel periosteal shell, and the interior was actually still under renovation and construction, but in a friendly and friendly attitude, bees did not prohibit citizens and tourists who came to visit the bee garden on weekends to see this rather wonderful new headquarters building up close.
However, everyone can only watch from the outside, and you can't enter the inside without a special pass to get a glimpse of what is going on. As early as when they entered the park, Liu Haiyang gave them the blue and white bee mascot, and paired it with their respective mobile phones to verify the permission of the bee pass, they had already found that they were temporarily granted the right to enter the C-level secret area, and the ground part of the building is naturally unimpeded, and the part of the computer room where the equipment is being installed underground is a B-level area, and non-specific staff cannot enter.
As for where the A-level area is, Liu Haiyang shook his head and said that he didn't know, even though he had been working here for nearly three years.
In fact, he didn't know that the A-level area didn't actually exist, or that Atletico was cunning to play a trick, for the bee's permission management system, the places, equipment and information that cannot be accessed are in the A-level area, and when an employee is allowed to access these contents, these contents will be B-level content for him, and it is strictly forbidden to disclose them like other unlicensed people, even if that person is the immediate boss. C-level contentC-level areas can be known and reached by all employees of the company, and then there is the G-level for the public, such as the crescent-shaped square outside, and the open-air tea stalls in the square.
Although the bees cover this greenhouse for office, but since it is a light-transmitting greenhouse, it is too wasteful not to use it to grow flowers and grass, so when Liu Shumeng and they followed Liu Haiyang through a hexagonal "door" and walked inside, they saw that a lot of trees had been transplanted and planted in the hive, and slowly walked forward along the circular trail adjacent to the transparent wall.
"Ma Laosi used to be very picky, and now it seems that it is still like this!" Liu Shumeng hugged his elbows, pinched his chin and said, then turned to look at his wife beside him: "When will these seedlings grow up?"
"There is no way, the time is tight and the task is heavy, so we can only plant trees and flowers. Although it sounds like a complaint, anyone with normal emotional intelligence can hear the pride in it.
Atletico Madrid also miscalculated, last year the whole year they sold a variety of hardware products added up to less than five million, they did the big tree plan according to 7 million a year, but they did not expect that there was a loophole in the rules, at the beginning was just a general sale of a hardware product to plant a tree, the result was friends "drilled the loophole", many people went to the bee mall to buy their headphones, cameras, Customized U disk and other goods, just magnetic data cables and two kinds of adapters (mobile phone fans cro female port to magnetic, data cable fan cro male idling magnetic) suddenly broke out hundreds of thousands of monthly sales, which really shocked them.
In this case, the bees' original tree planting plan had to be overhauled, and it was necessary to strengthen the tree planting manpower to speed up the tree planting speed in order to meet the increasing number of outstanding debts on the page. However, bees obviously have no plans to change to forestry and plant trees, so they can only try to solve the problem in a two-pronged way.
The first is that they gave full play to the advantage of "retaining the right of final interpretation", immediately revised the rules, and removed these unprofitable pieces and accessories from the support list of the Big Tree Project, leaving only mobile phones, tablets, convertible laptops, desktops, drones, Hot Wheels and other goods of more than 500 yuan.
Secondly, the two million tree debts owed before the revision of the rules cannot be denied, and the revision of the rules is already scoundrel enough, and Atletico Madrid and Bee still have to pay attention to some Bilian, so naturally they cannot shirk. However, they still played a bit of a trick, from the bees planting trees themselves, to mobilizing the masses to plant trees together.
Bee has launched a special station called "Planting Trees", and has developed a corresponding "Planting Trees for All" app, encouraging users to plant trees outdoors, and then "sell" to bees to get points called "leaves", and then consume them through lottery or cash.
Although at the beginning, there were many cases where some people "grabbed the fruits of other people's labor" and took photos of other people's trees as the fruits of their own labor, but as the verification rules became more and more perfect, there are now very few soy sauce people who are just taking advantage of them, and the users who are still active on the site are "true tree herders" with positive environmental awareness and enthusiasm for action.
And with their help, the bee's two million tree debts have already been repaid, and even the tree debts in the second half of the year have been replaced a lot in advance.
So in the eyes of others, Liu Haiyang's so-called "seeing the seams" and being busy planting trees is purely cheap and good, obviously you have "bought" millions of trees, so do you need to plant your own trees?
Seeing the contemptuous eyes of his old roommate, Liu Haiyang smiled and said: "Both hands must be hard, in addition to letting friends help us plant, we also have to actively do it ourselves!"
Then, I saw him bow his head and lean over, and said, "Of course, I also think this is an excuse for the fourth child to save money." β
After finishing it, he straightened up and stretched out his hand to face up, pointed to a certain place in the dome and said, "Third sister, third sister, look there!"
"What's that?!" The two of them looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a bright yellow octopus-like object hanging under the hexagonal steel skeleton, and still moving slowly, and the two of them turned their eyes around, only to find that there were several similar red figures hanging on the inside of the dome.
"The robot spider man we made ourselves, we have enough food and clothing by ourselves. β
In addition to the Marvel hero Spider-Man who is not in the Avengers, people also call the altitudes Spider-Man, because they work by hanging high in the air with the help of various cables, cleaning the faΓ§ade of the building or other work.
And the robots hanging above the heads of several people at the moment are specially made robots for the installation of high-altitude equipment, although they look more like octopuses, but everyone still gives them the name of the robot spider man. Because their eight mechanical legs do not have the inflatable pillow structure of the suction cup dome, although it is strong and durable, it is not suitable for hanging heavy objects, so these mechanical spiders are hung on top of the double steel skeleton by the hook claws at the end of the mechanical legs. At the same time, there are also necessary safety cables and cables to hang from them.
Seeing Feng Yalan's eyes staring at the red thick cable hanging down, Liu Haiyang explained: "That's the power supply cable, so that the robot doesn't need to carry a battery, which can greatly reduce the weight." β
"What are they doing? How do I feel that nothing has changed?" Feng Yalan asked.
"We didn't use the kind of big solar panels, we all used these big cell phone batteries, and then we put them on the shelves like fish scales and blinds, and then hung the shelves on top of the hexagonal steel skeleton, so that there would be no big shadows. Moreover, there is an angle adjustment mechanism similar to the shutter on the shelf, which can remotely adjust the opening and closing angle of the panel, so as to adjust the light intensity in it. β
"No, you still have to put a layer of ultraviolet reflective film under that shelf, otherwise they will all be tanned as African children, are you willing?" Liu Shumeng interjected.
"We have long thought of this, this area is a plant factory area, and there is no need for reflective film, and there is naturally a dome in the office area. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
