Chapter 58: All-Metal Construction

And the building he's building on now is the tallest building in his megacity, and it's a landmark for the city and the world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is worth mentioning that in this time and space, a trend of skyscrapers arose all over the world more than ten years ago.
And there is an Arab tycoon country in the Middle East, and like another time and space, they are very keen to build all kinds of miracle buildings, and this country is Dubai.
This time and space, like the original time and space of Kanazawa, is currently the world's tallest skyscraper in this city.
This skyscraper is a super tower with a height of 789 meters and has been completed for 3 years.
However, although this skyscraper is also called the Burj Khalifa, the shape of the structure is different.
In fact, the name caliph is actually an honorific title for the kings of Arab countries.
As the most powerful country in the world, the Ming Empire has risen a trend of skyscrapers in the world more than ten years ago.
The Ming Empire has such a strong economy and national strength, and naturally it also plays an important role in this skyscraper competition.
For example, one of the skyscrapers under construction in the Ming Empire is a skyscraper with a height of more than 850 meters, which is located in the magic capital, one of the largest megacities in the empire.
However, the building is still several years away from completion, so the world's tallest building is still located in Dubai, a wealthy country in the Middle East.
And in order to maintain its own world landmarks, this tyrant country is naturally impossible to be surpassed willingly after knowing that the Ming Empire is preparing to surpass them in skyscrapers.
Therefore, they were already planning to build a new skyscraper two years ago.
It can be said that with the passage of time and the development of technology, this trend of building skyscrapers will continue.
Skyscrapers over 500 meters will only increase, and each one will become more and more bullish.
For example, the all-metal super skyscraper that is currently under construction in Kanazawa is going to be built at 1,999 meters.
It's a terrifying height just to think about.
In addition, since Kanazawa uses an all-metal structure to create a solid foundation, the main structure of the entire building is also made of metal monolithic.
Moreover, the height he built was not like those previous buildings, which were relatively large at the ground and middle, but after 600 meters, they became like toothpicks.
Such a skyscraper, if its height is 800 meters, but the actual useful floor is about 700 at most, and the usable area is not very large, as for the above 100 meters is completely decorative and built for the sake of height.
This is not the case with the super skyscraper in Kanazawa, which he is building, and he has made the drawings of intelligent programming by him through his own ideas.
The shape of the building is like a giant sword erected on the ground, because the overall shape of the building is an oval frame structure, and the specific shape of the building can only be perfectly displayed after the building is equipped with custom-made bulletproof glass and decorated with corresponding metal elements.
The slowly rising building is still a frame structure, and it does not yet reflect its magnificence.
However, the crowd who had been watching the building slowly rise did not think so. For they had long been shocked by the way they were built.
"Your Excellency the Earl is definitely a god, otherwise how could there be such a magical means, have you found that this skyscraper is actually all made of metal."
"Where did His Excellency the Earl conjure up so much metal?"
"Actually, I'm more concerned about how tall this building built by His Excellency the Earl now."
"Needless to say, it must be more than 1,000 meters, because the height is almost 600 meters now, and the structure of the entire building has not changed at this height, and it must be more than 1,000 meters."
Kanazawa was unaware of these discussions and speculations from the outside world, and what he was concerned about now was that he found that the metal hoarded in his space seemed to be much closer to final completion.
"It seems that there is no way to build this building today." After knowing that there were not many metal elements left in his space, Kanazawa also felt a little regretful in his heart.
His regret is naturally that he can't build this building all at once, and at most he can only build it to a height of about 700 meters, and he will have to stop work and stop cooking.
Originally, there were more than 10 million tons of metal elements in his space, but just to build a solid foundation, he used an ultra-high 9 million tons of metal.
After all, it extends more than 500 meters underground, and it extends horizontally for hundreds of meters in an intricate manner.
This is the result of Kanazawa's failure to use a completely solid metal cylinder, and if it were all made of solid metal, I am afraid that by the time the construction is completed, it will take several times as many times as much metal to use on this basis.
However, it would be a waste to use a completely solid structure, because the metal produced by Kanazawa is much stronger and has higher performance than normal construction steel.
Moreover, it is a one-piece metal structure, which is much stronger and stronger than a reinforced concrete structure, compared to an 8-magnitude earthquake, even if it is an earthquake of several magnitudes, it cannot shake such a skyscraper that is all metal integrally formed, and is deeply rooted in the ground for hundreds of meters.
Even if there is a post-apocalyptic earthquake that shakes the foundation of the building, the building will collapse at most, but the overall structure will not be too damaged.
For example, if you knock down a metal tower, will it just fall apart?
What's more, the building is a one-piece building, which is much stronger than the metal structure that is welded together by large and small steel frames.
Therefore, during the construction process, it was not necessary for Kanazawa to make all the foundations and column frame structures solid.
Of course, although it is not solid, it will not directly form a metal plate.
In this way, a metal plate is directly formed, and its structural strength is not high, and it is easy to deform and bend.
Therefore, Kanazawa is a hollow, sandwiched metal structure.
For example, the circular columns with a diameter of several meters, as well as the frames and floors that make up the main structure of the building, are hollow and thick inside, and then made of horizontal metal to support and reinforce them.
This not only saves a lot of metal materials, but also reduces the weight of the entire building, and most importantly, makes the structure, strength and performance stronger.
Because after the building was built, it was an all-metal structure, so it had to consider the impact of these environmental changes.
