Chapter 102: One Goal and Another Goal

On a sunny day, according to modern construction, the bell tower in Danyang is probably the structure of the cap. However, the slightly rudimentary viewing platform and the limited height of the hall below the platform have already attracted many visitors. Everyone loves the feeling of seeing the mountains, but looking down on the city and watching the crowds and cars and horses swimming in the streets at their feet is another feeling.

Among these people who came one after another, the most dissatisfied with the current engineering director Guan Haishan was the arrival of the lord and the queen and his wife. As soon as the brigade of the forbidden army and guards arrived, the entire construction site was immediately stopped, delaying the progress of the project for a whole day. After that, Guan Haishan rarely agreed to the requests of dignitaries to visit and visit.

Part of the excitement of the dignitaries and dignitaries is due to the lifting device installed in the bell tower, so that everyone does not have to climb to a height of nearly 300 feet hard.

The lifting device with counterweight disc and manpower winch as the core, although due to technical limitations, the performance and reliability of this elevator substitute are really unsatisfactory, but at least it is a more expedient solution.

But the arrival of Ye Tao and Dai Qiuyan, Guan Haishan was very welcome. Dai Qiuyan, a quiet and lovely little girl, has always made them, the disciples of Ye Laogeng, who are nominally Ye Laogeng, actually learn more from Ye Tao, and the brothers and sisters like it very much. Since Dai Qiuyan's painting talent was gradually discovered, the relationship between Guan Haishan and this future "brother and sister" has become closer. Guan Haishan presided over the construction of a series of buildings and gardens, Dai Qiuyan almost went to write a life, leaving a lot of sketches. And Dai Qiuyan's ability to draw imaginary drawings based on Ye Tao's sketches, design drawings and structural drawings has saved Guan Haishan, a guy who is not very good at spatial imagination, a lot of trouble.

On the viewing platform on the top floor, several students from Yip's workshops working on the construction site erected a screen for the "young grandmother", separating a small quiet space that would not be disturbed by strong winds. Though. Occasionally, there will still be air currents that do not represent the mainstream wind direction of today, but they will not expose Dai Qiuyan's delicate face to the whirring wind.

"You see, there is the royal palace. From here, the palace is really not very big. But the palace buildings in the palace are really interesting. Ye Tao pointed and introduced Dai Qiuyan, who had climbed to the top of the bell tower for the first time.

"Watching the palace...... Isn't this trespassing? Dai Qiuyan was a little nervous, she held Ye Tao's shirt tightly, and whispered: "It's not good for others to hear it." ”

Ye Tao said dissatisfiedly: "What are you afraid of." You and I have both been in the palace and watched and played, but from a different angle. ”

By Ye Tao's side. I heard too many strange remarks of all kinds, and Dai Qiuyan smiled slightly and didn't pay much attention to it. However, she did not refuse to look at the palace in the distance. To be honest, the style of red walls and yellow tiles in the palace has always been very attractive to Dai Qiuyandi.

What attracts Dai Qiuyan even more is the entire Danyang New Town that surrounds the bell tower. In the new urban area, an artificial lake has been excavated, which has become the center of the entire new district. The whole new town is surrounded by artificial lakes. Gradually unfold. The innermost enclosure is the mansions of the great families, although most of them are still under construction and have not yet formed a scale, especially the newly transplanted trees do not look so dense, and I am afraid that they will not be in good shape until next spring and summer. But around the artificial lake. A circle of gorgeous pavilions has taken shape.

On the outer rim is a small courtyard. Some of these courtyards were owned by merchants and wealthy households, while some of the mid-level officials bought land and built it. They did what they could to find their place in the space. However, this is not necessarily the case. Dai Yuege Dai Da Boss and Ye's Workshop joint venture, and borrowed a lot of money from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Accounting Firm, and ate a considerable amount of land, which was designed by Ye Tao and Ye's Workshop, and Dai Yuege and his construction team were responsible for the construction and construction of a series of small yards of various types. Some of these small courtyards are more traditional in form, but many improvements have been made in the details. There are many courtyards that ignore the social and ethical functions of traditional courtyards, and only pay attention to comfort and practicality. These small courtyards, which do not have the formal form of a vestibule and an atrium, are now being paid attention to by many people. Most of the courtyards with more formal traditional architectural forms were booked by those middle and low-level officials.

In the outer ring, there are different forms of public buildings. On the north side of the new city, there are mainly some yamen buildings, and after a while, some institutions will be moved in one after another. And in these institutions. The most striking thing is the inspection of the two armies. The south side of the new district. There are various shops. These stores are designed in detail in terms of transportation and logistics, such as the sidewalks for transporting goods at the back of the store buildings. It will not affect the flow of people on Center Avenue at any time. Now, some stores have started to move in, and some businesses have started to flourish.

The east and west sides of the new district are relatively closely connected to the original urban area, giving the whole new urban area a unique form: this is not a city within a city, but a unique and charming area in the city of Danyang, which is in the limelight.

As Ye Tao's fiancée, Dai Qiuyan has viewed this new city from the ground more than once, and even entered the courtyard center of those big families that ordinary people have never had the opportunity to enter in their lives, and even the ancestral hall more than once. But, it is true that looking at these buildings, these courtyards and gardens, and these streets from the ground is completely different from looking down on the whole ground from the air. Looking at the entire new city from the air, people have the feeling that everything is under control, even for a little girl like Dai Qiuyan who has no ambition and no too much, it is also dizzying.

Although I really want to accompany Dai Qiuyan to sketch, as long as he is on the construction site, Ye Tao will inevitably have a lot of things to solve. Especially today he was meant to solve the problem.

The bell tower in Danyang has also entered a critical stage. As Ye Tao and Guan Haishan adjusted the construction plan of the bell tower, the exterior decoration and sculpture work of the bell tower has only begun, but the installation of the internal facilities has entered the final stage. If it goes well, the installation of the bell chamber will be carried out within 10 days, the hoisting of the bell will be carried out within 15 days, and the first test time will be carried out on the second day after the hoisting is completed. In terms of building construction, even though it is a mixed brick and stone building with a metal frame, which is extremely rare in this era. It is no longer difficult for Ye Tao's elder brother Guan Haishan, but in the installation of various facilities in the bell tower, Guan Haishan, who is not proficient in precision machinery, still has to rely on Ye Tao. Today, Ye Tao is here to solve the design and installation problems of the pulley block used to hoist the chime.

The installation of the pulley block is very particular. The pulley block used for hoisting the chime should not only be able to bear the weight of the chime through a large number of pulleys and linkage ground ropes, but also make the whole process of hoisting smooth and safe, and accurately deliver the chime to the predetermined installation position. Unlike the bell tower in Yicheng, the bell tower in Danyang is not a big bell. Because the internal space of the Danyang Bell Tower is more abundant than that of the Yicheng Bell Tower. The structure is also more stable and mature, and the bell tower uses two groups of four slightly smaller bells. These four bells, which together weigh more than 2,000 catties, can intricately and orderly rhythm when ringing, although the bells may not be enough to cover the whole of Danyang, but this more elegant and gentle bell is more suitable for the special city of Danyang.

However, the hoisting of a four-clock is a bit more complicated than a large one. Starting with the way you tie the four clocks, to how you balance the weight with a pulley. Reduces the shaking of the bell during hoisting, thereby reducing the risk of accidents...... There are a lot of things that make it impossible for Ye Tao to stay by Dai Qiuyan's side for a long time.

Seeing that the easel had been erected, the workshop technician even unfolded the painting tools for Dai Qiuyan, sharpened the charcoal strips, and prepared a bucket for washing brushes and color mixing that might be used. Dai Qiuyan softly thanked the student worker who was standing on the side, gently pushed Ye Tao, and said, "Brother Ye, you go and get busy." Leave me alone. ”

Ye Tao nodded apologetically. gently squeezed Dai Qiuyan's hand, and followed Guan Haishan's deputy, who was already standing on the side and was a little impatient.

While Ye Tao, Guan Haishan and a group of assistants were holding paper clips, drawing sketches, and calculating various relevant data, in a tea shed on the edge of the construction site, two guys who looked like ordinary people were talking softly.

A swarthy man who looked to be in his forties said, "Ye Tao is here." The car over there is his. The leader has commanded, when will it be done? ”

Another young man in his early twenties said calmly, "Old Feng, don't worry. The leader is waiting for his chance. ”

"This Ye Tao is really hateful, if it weren't for him and the Blood Qi Army. We can't afford to lose this time. The guy called Lao Feng said viciously.

The young man didn't talk. This Ye Tao's ability to kill the enemy on the battlefield is not high, no matter which country, he can beat him one by one, this is just the least threatening of Ye Tao's many abilities that people are afraid of.

After Xiling's defeat, the Xiling Imperial Court studied the Blood Qi Army, studied several Dongping generals who began to be known, and suddenly found that the Blood Qi Army generals played a key role. Almost all of them are related to a place called Yi Zhan Lou. And Yizhan Building is Ye Tao's industry. The role of Yi Zhan Lou is not just for fun, it actually plays a role in honing the strategic and tactical thinking of the young generation of Dongping. And when this kind of thinking is combined with the strange mechanism of the Blood Qi Army and the two armies to consult the mansion, the amazing chemical effect is born. The young man didn't think that the order from above to assassinate Ye Tao would be of any use even if he could succeed. Since someone in Xiling understands the role of Yi Zhanlou, then Dongping, the actual beneficiary, will naturally realize this, even if Ye Tao is gone, this mechanism may be maintained, it may just not be as exciting as when Ye Tao is there.

The young man instructed, "Inquire carefully about the progress of this bell tower." I see everyone is talking about the bell room and the bell, is it almost finished? ”

Old Feng sighed. He has been working on the construction site for a long time as a man, almost from the beginning of the construction of the bell tower. At that time, the task was not to assassinate Ye Tao or anyone else, but to explore the structure of the bell tower and learn the construction techniques. Even in the era when Ye Tao came from, the absolute height of the building also faintly smelled of national power competition, let alone now? A landmark building can be a significant boost to a country's image.

Lao Feng belongs to the kind of senior spies who have martial arts and know a little technology, but even if he has relied on his foundation in construction and worked hard in these days, he has become a foreman-level manager, but he still has no bottom about the construction technology of the entire bell tower. He was silent for a moment, sighed again, and said, "This Ye Tao is really a genius." This bell tower is truly extraordinary. ”

The young man squeezed a hint of disdain out of his nose. In his opinion, Lao Feng's meticulous work that understands technology is not very reliable. The mutual attraction between technicians and the pursuit of the ultimate in technology make such a fine work have great hidden dangers.

"You just have to find out what is going on." The young man interrupted Lao Feng's reverie and said, "Although Ye Tao is important, no matter what, it is only the second goal. The arrangement here in Danyang is being intensified, you must not show your feet in order to find out about Ye Tao. ”

Lao Feng nodded and said, "I can save it." Besides, there are those who are smaller than them, and I am not the only one on the construction site. ”

The young man nodded and said, "Target No. 1 is really troublesome. …… I heard that on the day of the trial report, I may come to the construction site, and if this is the case, I may do it here. Once you have the sure news, you and less than them are ready. ”

Lao Feng nodded and looked at the situation on the construction site. He is now in charge of the basic decoration of the observation hall on the top floor, which is also an extremely critical position. If it weren't for Ye Tao to guide the preparation for the hoisting of the bell and the installation of the bell room today, he would have been busy in the 270-foot-high hall at this time. But now, the workers who are now under his control are sleeping in the dormitory on the side of the construction site, or wandering around Danyang with the good wages they have earned these days.

After the young man left, Lao Feng drank another cup of tea and came to the construction site to mingle with the apprentices and apprentices of Ye's workshop and ask all kinds of questions. In the past few months, Lao Feng has established an honest and studious image in everyone's minds, and many of the apprentices and apprentices of Ye's Workshop and some of the newly promoted technicians have dealt with Lao Feng, and they do not hide their knowledge in many aspects, but the skills of Ye's Workshop in construction and other aspects are too complicated, and Lao Feng has not learned much at all.

Watching the apprentices and apprentices excitedly talk about Ye Tao, who they regarded as a genius, and the extremely important link in the construction of the entire bell tower that was about to take place. Lao Feng interjected from time to time in a friendly and curious manner, and the apprentices and apprentices of the Ye Clan's Workshop, who were not wary, quickly revealed a lot of information.
