Chapter 231: Underwater City
Wang Yue's Jurassic Park has been completely completed so far, and the dinosaurs he stocked actually have a complete reproductive system except for pterosaurs, which means that these dinosaurs can reproduce on their own, but what they can reproduce is not easy for him to say.
After all, this kind of thing is not a real dinosaur, but is made by the Red Queen according to some residual incomplete cells to repair, simulate the cloning embryo process and the subsequent development process to establish a number of jù models, whether they can reproduce real dinosaurs, only after their eggs hatch can be known.
Of course, whether they can breed real dinosaurs or not, anyway, what he wants has been fully realized, the emergence of such a park has made Yongning a holy place of dreams for everyone in the world, even if it is currently closed, there are hundreds of thousands of tourists who come to visit every day, and the entry tax alone is about to catch up with the financial revenue of the previous government.
But this was not enough, Wang Yue came up with a new idea.
"Underwater City?" A certain master architect who was invited was stunned by the request made by His Majesty the King.
"Yes, a city under the sea, choose a sea area near Yongning that is the most suitable for diving, full of colorful coral reefs, full of all kinds of small fish, and then build a town there completely out of glass, all kinds of entertainment and dining facilities, and of course, the most important thing is to get me the same palace."
Wang Yue said.
He has been thinking about such an underwater city for a long time, there is a coral sea comparable to the Great Barrier Reef in the offshore waters around Yongning, and the water is pure and there is no pollution to be found, building a town under such water, all the houses are made of the purest glass, while watching the brightly colored tropical fish swim in the corals, while galloping in bed with his wives, that is the real paradise on earth.
It is said that as His Majesty the King is more and more towards immortality, he is now more and more worried about how to spend his long life in the future, after all, this person has lived too long and is easy to get bored. He can change the cells of his body to stay young, but it is difficult to maintain his mentality all the time.
To put it simply, even if a woman plays too much, she will get tired of it.
"Your Majesty, I think I have to remind you that such a city is very simple to design, but very difficult to build, it would be better if it was made of steel, but if it was purely made of glass, as you said, then it is almost impossible to do it by manpower." The designer kindly reminded him.
"Of course manpower can't do it, but there is no problem with divine power." Wang Yue said with a smile.
Well, the designers found themselves really in vain. Who is this king, the spokesperson of the Atlantean Empire in the human world, those great gods who he wants to ask for help can just say a word, and he will directly create a mountain range out of thin air for that goddess, and there is no problem in creating a glass city under the sea.
"Your task is to choose a site and design the city, and you should know that ideas are simple, but turning ideas into something that makes sense and work is a lot of trouble, electricity. Ventilation, air conditioning, access access... And so on these have to be thought through, as well as security. Especially since the city is underwater, it must be able to withstand the effects of external forces such as tides, earthquakes, etc., which are all things you need to consider. Wang Yue said.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will not fail in my mission. The designer said excitedly, thinking about it, he knew that if such an undersea city was really built, then he would basically be immortal in the history of architecture in the future.
"And. When you design, try not to have too much impact on the original environment, so my construction is that all kinds of buildings in the city should be scattered, connected by pipes in the middle, and equipped with electric vehicles if necessary, so that you must also consider the planning of the transportation system, and the shape of the house does not need to be too high, but it must be novel and chic, in short, your design can be completely free of imagination, do not consider the difficulty of construction, as long as you can design something I can build. ”
Wang Yue said.
Building such a house is like a game for him, nothing more than dumping enough raw materials on the bottom of the sea, and then using his divine power to build a pile of pressure-resistant glass according to the drawings.
Imagine the colorful corals, the transparent pipes connecting the crystal palace-like houses, people riding electric cars through the pipes, swimming in the tropical fish, sitting in the restaurant and talking to each other, singing and dancing under the gaze of sharks and dolphins, how many people have to go crazy, if there is an occasional mermaid or something, it will undoubtedly be more perfect.
Of course it's not the one he used to raise.
The mermaid Lucy had already reconstructed his legs before he set out on the expedition, and then threw her brain to Laos to be a slave girl for him.
But it can be completely new, and it doesn't need to be transformed with a living person, it's just that the mermaids are a little cute, anyway, people only look at their appearance, and it's impossible for a sea creature like this to run to the underwater city and play with a hungry guy.
What the? Doesn't the wind make legs? What kind of mermaid is he, he has lived for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years as a mermaid god, you can't let an ordinary mermaid who has just been born for a few decades have his ability, right? Duke Xuanming is still a plesiosaur, can the plesiosaur in the Jurassic also become a living person?
However, plesiosaurs also have to be made, and those who visit this underwater city can't only be mermaids, like plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, cangsaurs and dinosaurs with big teeth, which can occasionally appear.
The designer quickly came up with a plan for him.
"Your Majesty, the coast of your country is suitable for such construction, only Tulayal, ah, it should be said that the Efate beach in the north of the southern capital, which is more than 20 kilometers long from north to south, and nearly eight kilometers wide from east to west, was originally a resort in your country, with large coral reefs, and the only defect is that the water is shallow. You also know that this underwater city is looking at coral reefs and tropical fish, and these things cannot be in the deep sea, at most dozens of meters underwater, no matter how deep it is, even if it is built, there is no point in construction, and there is nothing to see in the dark.
The deep sea is nothing more than some stones and mud and sand, and if you really want to build an underwater city in that kind of environment, it is no different from being in prison, so it can only be built in this kind of shallow offshore water, and we don't need to worry about safety when building in such an environment, because the shell will not bear too much pressure at all, at most it is the impact of the tide, and this can be fixed a little bit, even if the shell is broken. At a depth of ten or twenty meters, the people inside can swim out without an oxygen tank.
In addition, you can set up several pipelines along the continental shelf to the deep sea separately, and you can just follow the pipeline to see the scenery there. The designer unfolded the map and said in front of Wang Yue.
"Yes." Wang Yue immediately agreed.
In fact, he never thought of building an undersea city in the deep sea, he himself went down to the sea thousands of meters deep, it was pitch black, desolate like an alien planet, at most there were some weird-looking fish, and the lights without enough brightness could almost be described as reaching out without five fingers, and building an undersea city there was estimated that no one would like it except scientists.
The designer's scheme was simple, to set up an entrance on land. Make a fully enclosed highway with glass, just like the road outside, with a carriageway in the middle and sidewalks on both sides, but make it wider so that as many people as possible can enjoy the scenery of the underwater coral on foot, but then the load-bearing capacity of the pipe must be higher.
"It doesn't matter, is one meter of pressure-resistant glass enough?" His Majesty the King said very loudly.
"It's enough for you to just drive the train in." The designer swallowed and said.
This main road was settled. The road will lead all the way to the edge of the reef near the deep sea, and then a lateral road will lead directly to the land on either side, with two more entrances and exits on either side. Then extend several passages into the deep sea on the lateral road, and it is not too much, it is enough to stretch into it for a kilometer, and make a large glass house at the end. It's okay to do some services inside.
This is not the main body, the main body is to divide as many passages as possible from the main road in the shallow coral reef. These passages are flanked like real city streets outside, with hotels, restaurants, guesthouses and various souvenir shops, all of which are qiē modeled after the city outside. And His Majesty the king himself chooses a favorite location under the water, builds a large palace there, and then can go and live with the queens when he has nothing to do.
Of course, this palace should be built better, and the area should be large enough to meet the needs of His Majesty the King under normal circumstances, and even include dealing with state affairs.
It should be said that this design is already very much in line with Wang Yue's wishes, but he always feels that there is something missing.
"Build another tower, an elongated pyramid, this pyramid will be exposed to the water for dozens of meters, the pyramid is divided into two levels, the first level is the palace, at the top of the position above the tide line, set up the second platform, this platform should be set up helipad and access gates, and inside the pyramid there are two passages, one leads to the palace, one goes up to the top of the tower, this pyramid is not open to the public, this is the exclusive use of the royal family, as a symbol of the city."
Wang Yue said.
"In this case, too, the pyramid must be very strong, and you must know that the power of the tides is very strong, especially since it has to withstand the constant erosion year after year."
"It doesn't matter, this is easy to solve." Wang Yue said.
This is really easy to solve, it's just that the glass is thicker, as he just said, one meter thick pressure-resistant glass is not enough.
"But there's one problem that's hard to solve." The designer cautiously said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how the exterior of this underwater city should be cleaned?" Once it takes a long time, all kinds of algae will definitely grow on the glass shell and even attach shells, mud and sand, etc., and soon your crystal palace will become gray and there will be a lot of things that block the view, and in the current situation, it is difficult to have any other means of cleaning except manually, so although this underwater city will be like a fairyland, you must have a lot of workers to maintain its beauty. ”
"It's good that I have a country, don't I?" Wang Yue said with a smile.
Well, since he has a country, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, in fact, such an undersea city, just enough tourists per year to feed thousands of cleaners.
So the whole city plan was determined, and the next step was the specific design of the designer, which had to be based on the topography of the seabed, with the cooperation of the Yongning Royal Navy, a large number of designers began to flock to Efate to start their work, and this resort town close to the southern capital also has a new name Crystal City.
At the same time, the first tour plane of His Majesty's Majesty, the Qì Man, was also delivered, and the Yaskawa Electric was responsible for the giant machine Qì Man developed for him, which jumped the dock workers as soon as they got off the boat.
"What does it look like?" Wang Yue looked at the behemoth in front of him with interest and asked Queen Chen beside him.
"Like a bench, a six-legged bench." Chen Xiaoya said.
The shape of this machine is indeed like a bench, with a rectangular body and six huge mechanical legs, reaching a height of 15 meters, a width of 20 meters, and a length of 30 meters, each of which has a separate high-power diesel engine. Through the guò hydraulic and gear system under the computer program control, to achieve simple actions such as leg lifting, stepping and even kneeling, the bottom is the sole of the foot with mechanical claws, with the pitching of the mechanical legs can achieve simple climbing, these mechanical legs are divided into two sections, when necessary can kneel down with only one section of travel.
At the top is the visitor cabin, sitting on a set of hydraulic suspensions, which can minimize the vibration when traveling, of course, only as much as possible, anyway, for watching the dinosaurs, the comfort is a little less than a big deal, the cabin is divided into two levels with one hundred and fifty opposite seats with dining tables.
The cockpit and the powertrain, the fuel tank, all that mess is underneath the guest cabin.
Most of the parts of the whole machine are aviation aluminum alloy, only the bottom section of the leg is equipped with titanium alloy armor to prevent a Tyrannosaurus rex from having brain cramps and biting it, so although it looks huge, the actual weight is only a few dozen tons, even if it is filled with tourists, it will not exceed a hundred tons, and the travel speed is only twenty kilometers per hour, of course, this problem is not worth mentioning, and this speed is enough to cross the entire park in one morning.
"How do you get up?" Wang Yue asked the Japanese engineer who delivered the goods curiously.
The engineer bowed ninety degrees, then straightened up and pulled out a remote control-like object, pressed it on the button, and the huge machine bench immediately knelt down slowly, and at the same time the middle legs were stretched out at a large angle to the left and right, and the outer cover was separated from the middle upwards, revealing the steps inside.
"Let's go, go up and go around twice!" Wang Yue was very satisfied and carried the queen up the steps, and then walked into the open hatch, and the engineer immediately followed up with an assistant to enter the cockpit, and soon in the slight vibration of the diesel engine, the huge mechanical bench slowly stood up and strode towards the park gate.
