Chapter 624: Wharf Square

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a bird's-eye view of the entire Wharf Plaza project designed by our group. In the entire huge plot of land covering an area of up to 3.45 square kilometers and 5,475 acres, we will set aside 3,000 acres of land in the core of the central government to imitate New York's Central Park and create a Yangcheng Central Park similar to the 'human' shape. Then use the remaining 2,475 acres of land to build 48 buildings around the Central Park, bringing together large shopping malls, large exhibitions, concert halls, galleries and educational facilities and other service institutions, large super high-rise 5A commercial office buildings, and 120 well-equipped high-rise residential buildings! The whole plan, starting in 2016, will end in 2020!

“… Throughout the project, we will adhere to the goals of high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection, as well as enough green, sufficient leisure and entertainment, and a futuristic office environment, to build a comprehensive multi-functional CBD core business district that brings together the world's most high-tech and futuristic super cities. When everything is completed, the entire 'Wharf Square' will become a shining business card of Yangcheng in the world. ”

With Ouyang Lin's introduction, the partial design drawings of 'Wharf Plaza' kept flashing on the screen of the rear projection. Because they are all synthesized from the 'neuronal brain', they look far more realistic and exciting than ordinary 3D pictures. Of course, it also attracted the attention of almost everyone present.

“… The most prominent highlight of the entire 'Wharf Plaza' project is the concept of 'vertical city'. Generally speaking, the modern interpretation of 'vertical city' is a type of megastructure that can pack urban elements including living, working, living, leisure, medical care, education, etc. into a single building. In the "vertical city", all urban functions can be provided. Such structures generally have the characteristics of large volumes, ultra-high floor area ratios, surprising heights, small footprints, and explosive inhabitants. ”

“… The Wharf Group will make a new interpretation of the concept of 'vertical city'. To give a simple example: the 'Vertical City' project of the 'Wharf Square' project is more like an enlarged version of the sister tree tower of the famous 'Vertical Forest' in Italy. Of course, we want to be more efficient and safe than their tree towers. ”

At this time, a large concept map of the 'vertical city' appeared on the projector screen.

"The conceptual drawing of this building that you see is one of the most common representatives of the 168 super high-rise buildings in our 'vertical city'. It has a height of 600 meters, a project area of 670,000 square meters, 108 floors above ground and 6 floors underground, a total of 114 floors. The whole project is mainly office, and other formats include exhibition, hotel, sightseeing and entertainment, commerce, etc. The building is divided into five functional areas, including the public commercial and entertainment area, the low, medium and high office areas, the corporate hall area, the boutique hotel area and the top functional experience space. There are city display and viewing platforms, entertainment, VIP mini bar, catering, sightseeing meetings and other functions. ”

“… The building will be planted with 2,830 trees, 23,000 shrubs and 57,000 herbaceous plants. All these plants will surround the building to create a real green tower. In addition, because Yangcheng is often hit by typhoons in summer and autumn. In order to avoid falling trees due to typhoons, causing danger to pedestrians. We installed a 2 cm thick glass curtain wall on the exterior of the building. Moreover, for the safety of the glass curtain wall, we have also set up two additional protections: the first protection - the use of ultra-clear glass. Compared with ordinary tempered glass, the self-explosion rate of ultra-clear glass is close to zero. The second line of protection - film in the glass. In this way, even if the glass slowly cracks under the intense hammering test, all the fragments are firmly attached to the film and do not fall to the ground. ”

"In addition, for a good leisure experience, all glass curtain walls have a lifting function. ”

With Ouyang Lin's words, on the projector behind him, the glass curtain wall, which was originally perpendicular to the ground, was pulled up piece by piece. In less than a minute, the glass curtain wall, which was originally perpendicular to the ground, became 180° parallel. In this way, all the green belts will be truly in touch with the nature outside.

"With this feature, even in winter, there is enough greenery inside the building. In addition, in order to ensure the normal take-off and landing of the glass curtain wall, we used the 'new hydraulic system' developed by Shennong Research Institute combined with nano materials to ensure the strength and durability of the sufficient lifting system. Moreover, the whole process is monitored by artificial intelligence system, once there is local damage and falling off, our property personnel will receive the news as soon as possible, and repair it in the shortest possible time to eliminate potential safety hazards. ”

“… In order to save energy, we also pasted a layer of polysilicon wafers with a thickness of only 1 mm on the outer surface of all glass curtain walls. This transparent polycrystalline silicon wafer can convert 45% of solar energy into electricity, providing enough electricity for the entire building!"

"I'll interrupt... As far as I know, the world's best solar wafers currently provide only about 20% of the power conversion rate, but your technology has doubled the effect. I'm not very sure about the time and cost of doubling the technology, but are you really sure you can come up with such a product?"

"This is Vice Governor Cheng, with a technical background and a very upright temper!" Chen Changqing whispered in Wang Zheng's ear.

Wang Zheng nodded clearly, turned around and looked at the middle-aged man in a white shirt with black-framed eyes, who looked a little old-fashioned and serious. After a moment of silence, Wang Zheng stood up.

"Let me answer this question to Vice Governor Cheng. We have 45% conversion rate of polycrystalline wafers, manufacturing technology and finished products. The reason why we didn't launch the market was that we weren't satisfied with a 45% conversion rate, we were looking for 100%. 45% is said here, and more want to make the whole set of design solutions more solid and credible. If we wait until two years after the building is completed, I think the solar conversion rate of the 'polycrystalline silicon wafers' produced by our Shennong Research Institute will definitely exceed 60%. ”

After the words fell, Wang Zheng's eyes quickly swept over the people around him, and said with a smile: "If you still have doubts about our products, welcome you to the location of our Shennong Research Institute in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, and visit the site, we will warmly welcome you." ”

Chen Changqing waved his hand, and said with a smile after Vice Governor Cheng sat down: "I have always heard that the name of your 'Shennong Research Institute', from artificial intelligence to life medicine, and now to polycrystalline silicon wafers, it seems that it is necessary to see it in person!"

"Secretary Chen can come, we welcome it very much!"

After a brief chat, Wang Zheng gave Ouyang Lin on the stage a 'continue' look.

The latter nodded knowingly, "The electricity generated by the polysilicon on the façade of the entire building is rich enough for the office electricity of the entire building." Therefore, we will equip the underground parking lot of the building with sufficient charging piles to cooperate with the national sustainable development policy and promote the use and development of new energy vehicles. ”

"In addition, we will use Taoyuan Group's newly developed 'detector' to monitor all the soil and water quality throughout Wharf Plaza, and a large artificial intelligence host will be responsible for managing it, fully automating agricultural processes such as watering and fertilizing. With the least labor cost as much as possible, the most scientific management of the whole park is given, and the healthy and orderly development of various animals and plants is ensured. ”

As he spoke, a 'detector' the size of a woman's makeup pen appeared on the projection screen in the back, as well as an animated deduction video of automatic fertilization and watering under the management of artificial intelligence.

"We will use the new material innovatively developed by the 'Shennong Research Institute' in the construction of 'Wharf Plaza': 'Jiagang'. At present, two different types of 'A steel' have passed the national quality inspection, both chemical and physical properties are stronger than ordinary structural steel, and even some alloy structural steel. And most importantly, the weight of the same volume of steel is nearly two-thirds less than steel, and the price is more than half lower. According to our calculations, if a 600-meter-high, 1,000-square-meter ultra-high floor is used as the basic building material, then the pressure on the ground of the whole building will be reduced by 60% compared with the conventional ultra-high floor using steel, cement and masonry, the cost will be halved, and the structural strength will be increased by 35%!"

“… With these two types of steel materials as the basis, the pressure on the ground of the 168 ultra-high floors in the entire Wharf Plaza project will be greatly reduced. Even if the entire project is located on the banks of the Pearl River, it will not cause ground subsidence. ”

“… After the completion of the entire 'Wharf Square' project, there will be 530,000 trees, more than 5 million shrubs, and more than 20 million herbaceous plants, and have about 1,000 acres of water surface, more than one million birds and mammals. Every year, it will reduce 1 million tons of dust, absorb 489,100 tons of carbon dioxide, release 357,700 tons of oxygen, and reduce 29,200 tons of toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide for Yangcheng. It creates a profit of nearly 100 billion Chinese coins every year. There is no doubt that Wharf Plaza will become the 'green island' of the entire Yangcheng in the future. And in the beautification of the environment, water conservation, provide space for animals and plants to thrive, produce protein, etc., it has a decisive impact on Yangcheng. Moreover, the impact will be sustainable, long-term, and marked in history!"

Ouyang Lin's firm and expectant tone drew everyone's attention to the constantly changing picture on the projector screen. Especially in the end, when the 'neuronal masterbrain' synthesized and the picture quality comparable to the blockbuster movie "Avatar", the 'animation evolution' video about the Wharf Project was released, it attracted a lot of surprise. Of course, it also made the people present more engaged.

Wang Zheng's eyes quietly looked around. After seeing that Chen Changqing became intent, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief while being a little proud in his heart. If there are no accidents, the construction plan for the entire Wharf Square will soon be approved.

Environmental protection, energy saving, science and technology, and the future are all the future development concepts that the central government has repeatedly stated. The Wharf Plaza project is clearly tied to these themes and ahead of the rest of the world. As long as the other party does not turn a blind eye, then the final result will be optimistic.

Ouyang Lin, as the chief designer of the whole project, undoubtedly introduced in great detail. In the questioning session that followed, detailed answers were also given to the questions of everyone present. The insufficient part, Wang Zheng will rise up to supplement. The entire hearing lasted until four p.m. Everyone was in the city hall cafeteria for lunch, and it was delayed for about an hour and a half. The rest of the time was almost entirely in meetings, and no one left early, including Chen Changqing, the provincial party secretary.

After the meeting, Wang Zheng left with the people of his company. He knew that the entire provincial and municipal party committees would have a discussion on whether the 'Wharf Plaza' project would be approved. And because it involves a large population, it is in the center of a first-tier city, and the development area is huge. In addition to the passage of Guangdong Province, it is also necessary to report to the central government. It will take more than half a month at the earliest.

Of course, half a month, a month, Wang Zheng can still wait. But while waiting, he also has to understand the entire approval process of the project.
