1142.Book Launch (3/5)
“…… All architectural details have been considered, and all timber frames in the school are designed with metal fastening devices and cable-stayed frames at key points. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Listening to Boggart's introduction, Wang Bo asked: "In the design plan, it says that the school can withstand an earthquake below magnitude 7?" ”
"Yes, all of our designs are designed with the theme of 'safety'. Not only is it resistant to earthquakes, but it is also more resistant to storms and rainstorms, and the house can be safe and sound in earthquakes with a magnitude of 7 or less and storms with a magnitude of 9 or less. ”
His assistant adds: "At most, some of the non-major structures in the room are damaged, such as slight deformation of the door frame, broken glass, cracked tiles, etc. However, please be assured that the main functional structures that need to be provided with living space and escape routes for people will not have problems. ”
Wang Bo nodded and looked at Charlie, Bowen, Haney and the others beside him.
"As far as I know, the structures of large commercial buildings in New Zealand are all prefabricated reinforced concrete structures with mature applications, which gives large shopping malls, office buildings and other densely populated buildings super load-bearing capacity and good seismic performance," Haney asked. ”
"Yes, that's true, but it's just the current architectural model, and our design is the architectural model that is about to lead," Borgge said. ”
"Your concern is nothing more than durability, and I can assure you that a wooden house does not mean that it is vulnerable to damage. For large buildings such as schools, it is not cost-effective to use cement and concrete now. ”
"I don't know if you know, sir, if it's a large reinforced concrete building, then use a large buffer device in the building foundation, for example the whole building may be 'standing' on rubber mats or large springs, to avoid direct contact with the foundation."
"This design approach allows the entire building not to sway with the ground when the transverse seismic shock wave arrives, avoiding the danger of the collapse of the main functional structure."
"Once it is designed like this, the cost of construction is a bit large, and the cost will at least double. Our Baroque building is in this style, but Mr. Mayor's purpose is to be safe and practical, so the A plan is definitely the most suitable. ”
Boggart spoke frankly and confidently.
"Of course, in addition to the things introduced above, seismic structure design is a precise, systematic science and construction engineering specification, which needs to consider many projects comprehensively, and are introduced in the design scheme."
At the end of the two-hour defense, Wang Bo nodded and expressed his willingness to accept the plan.
Boggart smiled and shook his hand, this plan alone is worth a million, because it was delivered three days early, that is 1.3 million.
Considering that the design company almost poured out of the pocket, this is not a lot of money.
A good design can cost a lot of money, but when it comes to building, you can spend more money less.
The design was then faxed to Professor Sandra, Alexander, and others, as a welcome gift from the town to the University of Lincoln as a sign of their sincerity.
The second batch of books was delivered, this time 100,000 copies, and another three-story building was filled, and Wang Bo also gave relevant photos and materials to these people.
In short, in order to take down the branch of Lincoln University, Sunset Town did its best.
With the library, Sunset Town has really suddenly added a bit of culture.
In the past, people on the road either carried drinks or food, but now many people, especially townspeople, show up on the road with books.
They either go to borrow books or return them, and they read a lot.
In the middle of the day, Hill approached him and said, "Boss, I'd like to have a book signing in the library." ”
Wang Bodao: "Man, your current influence is naturally unparalleled, and you are a very successful writer. But everyone in the town has bought your book, right? ”
He didn't guess casually, there was a bookshelf of "Fatal Notes" at the door of the library, but there were not many people who borrowed it, not that everyone didn't like to read it, but they all read it or had books at home.
Hill grinned, "My purpose is not to sell books, but to promote new books." ”
Wang Bo asked in surprise: "Is the new book available?" What is it called? ”
"This time it's going to be a fantasy book, similar in style to The Lord of the Rings but with a twist, and I'm going to call it 'Burning: Iron as Blood,' which is tentative, of course, and there's an alternative title, 'Far From the Gods.' ”
Wang Bo said: "What about your draft? Come on, let me see. ”
Hill was pleased with his anticipation, and he happily opened his backpack and pulled out a draft - this time it was not a computer creation, but a handwritten work.
At this time, an employee came to deliver documents to Wang Bo, and he looked at the manuscript with a thoughtful expression.
Wang Bo looked at the manuscript and said, "Hey, man, I'm interested just by looking at the beginning, I bet it will be hot, this manuscript will definitely become hugely valuable!" ”
Hill said, "I'll dedicate it to our library, and you say it's okay to use it as a treasure?" ”
Lao Wang said a little embarrassed: "That guy, let's be honest, this library is not permanent, it is to attract Lincoln University to build a branch here, and it will be revoked in the future." ”
Hill looked stunned: "Huh? ”
Wang Bo coughed and said, "Don't be too surprised, Lincoln University will bring a bigger library, and its existence is not necessary." However, the library will not be dismantled anytime soon, and will be open for at least a year. ”
The lease agreement is valid for 14 months, and Wang Bo plans to return the books at the end of the day, so that he does not have to pay the large final payment.
Hill was a little frustrated, but he also knew how much money it would cost to buy the books and build the library.
Wang Bo comforted him and said: "This will only happen in the future, who knows what will happen in the future?" Let's prepare for your signing session first, and I'll arrange someone to publicize it. ”
It just so happened that he had an employee at hand, and this man was Miles Walter, who was Elizabeth's subordinate.
He told him about Hill's upcoming book signing and salary conference, and asked him and Elizabeth to promote it.
On the second weekend of mid-month, spring was shining brightly and the sun was shining, and Hill's signing party began.
Beyond Wang Bo's expectations, there were many people who came to attend the book signing, most of them were pedestrians, readers from Aocheng and other surrounding areas, and Hill's influence was already extraordinary.
In addition, star Craig Parker, who has been confirmed to be the male lead in the New Zealand TV series version of "Fatal Note", also arrived, and he cheered on Hill, which again attracted a lot of townspeople.
