Chapter 163: The Pumpkin Will Shock the World
It took a long time for President Obama to come to his senses, rub his temples, and say:
"Forget it, forget it, it's all come to this point, let's build it. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info finished early, and went back to study early. ”
Hearing this, Hughes also nodded.
Isn't it just 100,000 tons of steel? For the watermelon alliance, small KISS.
"Well, the steel is supplied by Bath Steel in the United States, and I will call their company. Let them sell to the little ones at cost price. Otherwise, the little guy's $100 million must be enough. ”
President Obama also nodded and said, "Then the construction will be left to the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard." ”
“OK!”
Three days later, the American company Bath Steel received an order from the Watermelon Alliance.
103,000 tons of steel, and it is the cost price.
The directors of Bath Steel Company took the order with black faces.
On the other side, the assistant to the president faxed Miss Alice's drawing of the pumpkin cart to the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard.
The chief engineer, who once led the construction of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, personally took a large number of technicians to carefully examine the drawings and make detailed calculations.
In 10 minutes, just 10 minutes, the chief engineer called the assistant to the president with a black face.
"Sorry sir, we don't take this job!"
"What?" The assistant was shocked, "Didn't the Ministry of Defense give you a military order?" ”
Hearing this, the chief engineer was so angry that he scolded: "What bullshit military order, what the hell are you going to take a good look at that drawing?" There is no technical content at all. We build aircraft carriers and submarines, not houses. ”
"Go find the architect who repairs the house and help that little guy build it!"
After saying that, the chief engineer hung up the phone angrily.
And here, the assistant gentleman was completely confused.
What's the situation? Isn't it to build a car? Why do you want me to go to an architect?
I'll give it a go, is this building a car or building a house?
Thanks to the guidance of the chief engineer of the Navy, the assistant sent a fax to the top 10 architectural firms in the United States with a tragic feeling.
5 minutes, just 5 minutes later.
HDR Architects, the No. 3 in the U.S., called.
It was their president who personally hit it.
"Hello, Mr. Assistant to the President, we at HDR are willing to take on this project for free and guarantee to complete it within two months!"
Hearing this, Mr. Assistant's voice blurted out in disbelief: "Are you sure?" Have you ever done the math? This is a pumpkin cart that is heavier than a nuclear aircraft carrier! ”
On the other side, the president of HDR smiled, and replied while laughing:
"Mr. Assistant to the President, where is your project to build a car, it doesn't even have an engine, it's completely building a house out of steel, which is simpler than building bricks. Don't believe me, let our famous architect, Mr. Bacon, tell you that he was involved in the design and construction of the Twin Towers in New York. ”
Moments later, Mr. Bacon's voice rang on the phone:
"Hello Mr. Assistant, this project is really simple. Just build a huge steel base and then build an oval pumpkin with building blocks. The base is made of alloy steel, which can bear the weight of 100,000 tons, and the interior is made of ordinary steel, and the exterior is made of stainless steel. ”
"It's very simple, not technical at all! It's true! ”
"I can imagine that when this pumpkin cart is built, we will have another landmark in the United States."
"Cute style!"
Mr. Assistant is running out of face, really.
He just said, "I'll leave it all to you," and hung up.
The pumpkin cart was actually built by others as a building, which really laughed to death all over the world.
That day, after everything was arranged, the assistant went back to the White House to report to the president.
After listening to the assistant's report, Mr. President, Hughes and others were also crying and laughing.
What a tease that little guy is!
……
The next day, HDR Architects held a press conference to announce to the nation:
Undertake the pumpkin cart construction project of the little prodigy for free, which is expected to take one and a half months.
At the press conference, the president of HDR also showed the reporters a preview of the pumpkin cart.
On the banks of a wide Charles River, a giant metal pumpkin cart dominates the land. On the left side of the pumpkin is a portrait of a little guy, and on the right is Alice's.
Under the bright sunlight, the stainless steel on the outside reflects the luster of the metal, and it is full of fashionable sci-fi style.
In front of the TV, the global audience saw this rendering and let out exclamations.
"It's so beautiful!"
"yes, and it's spectacular!"
"This car is 666, no one can hit it! Mom doesn't have to worry about me rolling over halfway anymore. ”
However, the audience seemed to marvel early because they got it completely wrong.
It's not a car at all, it's a ......
At this point, the exterior renderings disappear and the interior display comes out.
With a smile on his face, the president of HDR explained: "The pumpkin cart is 30 meters high, and for this purpose, our designers designed four floors for him. The first floor is the living room, the second floor is the bedroom for the little prodigy and Miss Alice, and the third floor is ......"
The global audience was stunned.
What's the situation? Didn't you say that it was a good car? How is it a living room and a bedroom?!
What about the engine? What about the brake chamber? What about the driver's cab?
Please, we don't read much, don't coax me!
A reporter asked the president of HDR aloud with such a question.
Hearing this, Mr. President shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Sorry, we are building a house, not a car!" ”
Journalists: "......"
Global Audience: "......"
At this time, the senior officials of the White House, who were also watching the press conference, looked at each other one by one, and no one could say a word.
It's embarrassing, isn't it?!
……
Not long after, the press conference ended, and at this time, the official website of the pumpkin toy company immediately announced the use of funds.
Nichrome-titanium alloy steel - 3000 tons. (Provided by Bath Steel Company of the United States at a loss.) )
Manganese-silicon steel - 3,000 tons. (Provided by Bath Steel Company of the United States at a loss.) )
Nickel-chromium steel (stainless steel) - 7,000 tons. (Provided by Bath Steel Company of the United States at a loss.) )
Ordinary steel - 90,000 tons. (Provided by Bath Steel Company of the United States at a loss.) )
A total of 103,000 tons of steel cost $100 million.
It did lose money, according to the grapevine, the American Bath Steel Company lost $300 million in this order, which is only a lot more.
……
As soon as this announcement came out, people around the world suddenly realized.
No wonder the president of HDR said he was building houses, not cars.
Weighing more than 100,000 tons, who the hell can drive it.
And the media of various countries also urgently removed the previous front page and put the news on it.
The "USA Today" newspaper said in a mocking tone: The watermelon god is going to add a landmark building to our United States, and its name is Pumpkin Car. Oh wrong, it's called "Pumpkin Villa".
European Times: The watermelon god plans to use 100,000 tons of steel to give Miss Alice as a gift, hoping that Miss Alice will not be too heavy.
Tencent: This gift is so chic that we should call it "Pumpkin Castle". It seems that the watermelon god has grown up and knows how to build a gold house to hide Jiao.
……
Seeing these news reports, people from all over the world are dying of laughter.
It turns out that prodigies also have times when they become stupid!
At this time, Ike, who was surfing the Internet in the library, saw the comments on the Internet and was extremely calm.
Laugh, just laugh, let you look good in more than 1 month.
After thinking for a while, Ike logged into his Twitter, and then, under the FBI's puzzled gaze, Ike changed his Twitter name.
Changed from "Watermelon Ike" to "Pumpkin Ike"!
This subtle move immediately attracted the attention of the intelligence agencies of various countries.
What's the situation?
Could it be that the watermelon god is warning us about something?
China, NSA.
A girl hesitated and guessed: "Could it be that the watermelon god is going to transform?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of all the national security agents were shocked, and they quickly turned their heads to look at her.
"From a watermelon god to a pumpkin god!"
Burst! Burst! Burst!
The entire NSA fell to the ground on the spot. (To be continued.) )
