In our country, when it comes to the civil engineering departments of those colleges and universities, there has always been a saying that "North China Qing, South Jitong". The two institutions have their own strengths and strengths. "Huaqing" is strong in architecture, and "Jitong" is strong in structure. And "building wind resistance" is a structural problem of the building, which is why everyone chose this school.

In the evening of the same day, Li Huayong, Li Erzi and Lin Wei arrived in Shencheng, and after finding a place to settle down, they were silent all night, and on the morning of the second day, the three of them held a letter of introduction and found the "State Key Laboratory of Civil Engineering Disaster Prevention" located in Jitong University.

This is the destination of everyone's trip, the so-called "building wind resistance", of course, is also a kind of "civil engineering disaster prevention", which is also a relatively cutting-edge branch of architecture, so everyone's trip can be regarded as a standard "professional counterpart".

Since he had already greeted him through the "Huaxia Construction Corporation" before, Professor Qian of Jitong University had been waiting for a long time. This is a big man in the industry, a future academician of the National Academy of Engineering. In his previous life, Li Huayong also had several contacts with him, had the honor to listen to his teachings, and cooperated in tackling key problems several times. But at that time, he was already a thin old man with a white beard, a very funny, very approachable and rigorous thin old man.

But the current old money is not the appearance of the later generations at all, and now he is only in his early 40s, and his thick black hair makes Li Huayong completely unable to contact his appearance in the later generations, which is when he is in the prime of life.

There was no politeness, not even greetings, Professor Qian's first sentence went straight to the point:

"Did you bring your plan?"

"Bring it, bring it. ”

Li Er was stunned and hurriedly handed over a "professional construction plan for the invertebrate method" that had been prepared a long time ago. After receiving the beautifully made and illustrated construction plan, Lao Qian's eyes showed a hint of surprise. His tone slowed down, no longer acting like a businessman, and began to pull up the routine.

Of course, he only played with Li Er, and as for Li Huayong and even Lin Wei, Lao Qian directly ignored it:

"I heard that Li Gong is from Huaqing? ”

Li Er was stunned and pretended to be modest: "There is no way, among my classmates, I am the most unproductive, so I can only enter the construction unit." ”

Lao Qian waved his hand: "What are you talking about? I think you are a young man who is really smart, and now young people who study civil engineering either like to go to the design institute or like to squeeze into the administrative organ, but few people are willing to go to the construction unit." As everyone knows, it is really difficult for them to get ahead like that, after all, civil engineering is a very practical discipline. If you don't have practical experience, it's not like no one has been working for others in the design institute all their lives. ”

Li Huayong listened with a smile next to him, and he still agreed with Lao Qian's words. From a secular point of view, there has always been a phenomenon of "emphasizing design over construction" in the construction industry, and this phenomenon is true both inside and outside the industry.

In the industry, there are many civil engineering college students are reluctant to go to the construction unit, not to mention the current college students are too expensive to want in the eighties, even in the early nineties, most construction companies are mainly recruiting college students, undergraduates are very few, not to mention undergraduates from key universities and famous universities. It is only in the future that universities expand their enrollment that this phenomenon will change.

But having said that, after the expansion of university enrollment in the future, the quality of ordinary undergraduates trained in that era may not be stronger than that of previous college students or even secondary school students. So from that point of view, this phenomenon has never really changed.

There are two main reasons for this, the first is that the working and living environment of most construction companies is relatively difficult, and there is no fixed place to move around...... This has put a lot of people off from it.

The second reason is that engaging in construction always feels that it is not high, and it seems that there is not much technical content, which makes many people look down on this industry.

Needless to say, take those famous and classic buildings in the world, such as the "Bank of China Building", everyone will only remember that it was designed by Mr. I.M. Pei, but few people know who built it.

However, who is driving the discipline of architecture? Is it design? No! Only the development of construction technology is the driving force behind the improvement of the level of the entire industry.

In later generations, those buildings that were built more and more, those great architectural works that became more and more cool, more and more dazzling, and even made people feel incredible, were they only because the designers designed these works? No, the reason why these works can appear is first of all because the construction technology has reached that level, and human beings have the ability to build such buildings, and such works can appear.

To be honest, this is another characteristic of the construction industry that distinguishes it from other industries. There are many "geniuses" in other industries, such as singing geniuses, acting geniuses, running geniuses, chess geniuses, and even in the computer industry, there are geniuses who write programs.

But in the construction industry, there is not much soil for "genius" to grow. The "genius architect" of the god horse will always only exist in everyone's imagination or in the YY of Dianniang, and it is impossible to exist in real life.

All the master architects, or all the people who can leave a name in the history of architecture, from Lu Ban, the "grandfather" of the industry, to Li Bing and his son who built Dujiangyan, to Li Chun of Zhaozhou Bridge, or Mr. Zhan Tianyou and Mr. Mao Yisheng during the Republic of China, and even Mr. I.M. Pei, who is famous for his design. What they all have in common: these people have done a lot of specific construction.

They are masters first of all because they are all practitioners.

Li Er was stunned and Lao Qian were talking happily there, and Li Huayong and Lin Wei played soy sauce throughout the whole process. Lao Qian and Li Er were stunned, and casually asked about the situation of the Bank of China Building project, and when he was talking, Lao Qian had already looked at the "professional construction plan of the vertebral method" in his hand.

Li Huayong knows one of the characteristics of old money, he sees things quickly, and "dual-purpose" is one of the old man's most powerful skills. After 5 minutes, gradually Lao Qian's words were reduced, and his attention was all attracted by this "inverted vertebral method", and the others did not bother, waiting there silently.

10 minutes later, Lao Qian had already browsed the whole plan for the first time, he continued not to speak, and even closed his eyes and thought for a while. When he opened his eyes, he looked at the plan in his hand again, but this time he didn't take a quick look, but detailed the main points of the whole plan.

Another 10 minutes passed, and this time Lao Qian finally spoke, and he gave a good evaluation:

"Quite an ingenious construction method! It seems that you Huaxia Construction General Manager really has a master. The design of the scheme is reasonable, it has strong operability, and it can even save a lot of manpower and financial resources.

Li Er was stunned and Li Huayong looked at each other and smiled, the purpose of coming here this time, of course, was mainly to demonstrate the safety of this method. Is a construction method feasible, is it operable, and all the premise is whether the construction method is safe.

And this kind of safety is divided into two kinds, one is the safety during construction, and the other is whether the building products are safe after the construction. Only when both are not a problem can this construction scheme be said to be feasible.

There is only one practical solution, and if you add these advantages that Lao Qian said before, this can be called a good design.

The design of the construction plan is actually the same as the design of the building itself. Otherwise, do you think that you can design a good work with your brains and your whimsical ideas? No. Most of the time, the result is always garbage, and it's easy to pretend to be stupid.

"Professor Qian, the purpose of our visit this time is not only to ask you to help us demonstrate the feasibility of the plan, but also to ask you to further optimize our plan. ”

"No problem, no problem. It's rare to see such an ingenious idea, and I heard that you are also in a hurry, right? It just so happened that I took a graduate class, and I immediately organized people to tackle the problem collectively. But I have a small request, if you can win the bid for this project, can you let our students intern with you at that time?"

For this scheme, scheme demonstration and scheme optimization are actually the same meaning. Because this is a demonstration of safety, when Li Huayong, Li Erzi and others make this plan, of course, security will also be considered. To give a simple example, for example, a certain platform theoretically needs to carry 10 tons of weight, then when Li Huayong and Li Erzi were designing the plan, they must not only be able to take 10 tons, and they must leave a margin of 3 to 5 times, and in extreme cases, they must even leave 10 times or 20 times the margin.

But this "how much leeway is left?", then it is very particular, leaving less, it is not safe. If you keep too much, you may waste it, and even cause other problems because it is too heavy.

Solving such problems is called "solution optimization".

The reason why Lao Qian agreed so happily is here, because when demonstrating the safety of the scheme, the "scheme optimization" has been done unconsciously.

As for the second thing Lao Qian said, it is not a problem, even Li Er was stunned and could happily agree on behalf of "Huaxia Jianzong":

"No problem, no problem, we will definitely welcome it then, of course, Professor Qian, all of this must be based on the fact that we can win the bid, so this time, I will definitely trouble you to help with all your heart." ”

Lao Qian laughed: "Then it's decided, okay, without further ado, I'll immediately organize people to demonstrate, you should stay in Shencheng for a few days when you come this time, right? By the way, have you settled down? or ..... today?"

Seeing Lao Qian talking about this, Li Er was stunned and hurriedly interrupted him, this time he came to ask for help, this kind of thing of eating, drinking and Lazar can make people speak:

"Settle down, you're welcome, Professor Qian, you're welcome, you go get busy first, I'm sorry, we should have invited everyone to dinner at noon, but we have some other things, so in the evening, Professor Qian, you organize the manpower, and everyone will get together in the evening." ”

"Oh, what else do you have?"

Li Er was stunned and glanced at Li Huayong:

"We have a family member studying in your school, and we are going to visit her first. ”
