Chapter 273: Cotton Tree Road
IBM-has six default apps: Telegram, Numberpress, ArtPress, and App Store. A very important map is missing. This is because Downing is determined to reshape the entire map system, and the development is very difficult, so it is delayed and cannot catch up with the first wave of default applications.
All people have a certain degree of road blindness, because the traditional map is evolved from history, and no matter how well planned the city is, there is a certain blindness, and this blindness leads to the road blindness of urban residents. The name of the road brings together one of the most boring naming methods in human society, what Beijing Road, Nanjing Road, Guangdong Road, the name itself actually has no meaning, this is a great waste of information resources, the old residents of the city remember a large number of names, but can not convey any information to the newcomer in the first time, a tourist can not enjoy any information benefits from the "Guangdong Road" and "Newton Road" such blunt naming.
Downing wants to change this situation, change the traditional nonsensical font naming to a numeric type, first of all, zoning, find the center point of the commercial center, and delineate a square kilometer square kilometer as the center as the "central district". In Suzhou, for example, the center of Guanqian Street is set as the center, and the squares of one kilometer from east to west and one kilometer from north to south have become the central area of digital zoning. There is a kilometer grid in each of the 8 directions around this central district, and there are a total of 8 districts from 1 to 8, starting from the east of the central district and ending in the southeast, forming a nine-house format.
The first circle around the central area is called the first ring and has a total of 8 squares, the second circle becomes 16 blocks for the second ring, and the third circle becomes 24 blocks for the third ring. The Third Ring Road covers an area of 7 by 7 kilometers for a total of 49 square kilometers, and most cities are now no larger than this number. The viewer can immediately find the approximate location of the number of rings from the number of rings distinguished by color, and then target 1 square kilometer according to the specific number of squares, which is the distance that can be reached on foot. When all maps are digitized in this way, the viewer's ability to find targets is greatly improved, and all road blindness can find the target 1 square kilometer away from the target in the first place.
In the future, the local tyrants want to show off their house location, as long as they say that they are within a few rings, the most local tyrant says "Central District", the second local tyrant says "Jiugongge", to Shijingshan District, Beijing, that is the edge of the 10th ring, which is basically the limit of the metropolis.
After the advent of the era of drones, this division still has practical significance, because the transportation distance of drones is straight, and the charging standard can be determined according to the number of grids. How much is in one square, how much is in five squares, and so on.
The era of drones is still in the making, and in reality there is still a need to digitize the names of those boring roads, which run from north to south with odd numbers, from 1 to infinity, and the order is from west to east. The east-west path is an even number, from 2 to infinity, and the order is from south to north. In the future, if the city expands, the number can be negative, and if it is a new path, it can be separated by a decimal point, for example, if there is a path between road 1 and road 3, it can be called 1. Road 1, 1. Number 1 with 1. The road between No. 2 is called No. 1. 1。 1。
In the past, there were already conventional road names that could be used as aliases for numeric names, and it didn't matter at all, and even the city planning department could be idle and bored to name a newly built road, which was a trivial matter. However, in the digital map, all the names are well organized, and the rules must not be changed casually. This makes it very convenient for the taxi driver, who simply asks the passenger which district you are going to. In most cities, you only need to memorize the movement within 49 zones, which is about the same difficulty as the Japanese 50-tone chart.
The nomenclature of the road is also used in the postcode, with the gate of each building as an integer number, from west to east, the right hand side is an odd number, the left hand side is an even number, and the future can also be a negative number, and the new building can be coded as a decimal number, which does not affect the original number at all, so as not to cause confusion. Roads in residential areas are generally not counted as urban road numbers, but they are also numbered digitally by the postal system.
Downing also intends to sell fluorescent-scented house signs to wealthy cities so that people can find a beacon of guidance in the dark. He packaged the fluorescent door plate into a product similar to the smart highway, called the "smart door plate". Given that Wind Bird Express has almost all the postal systems of major major countries, he has enough motivation to improve the global postal system.
The smart door plate is the same as the fluorescence of the smart highway, not only can be navigated, but also can convey information, it has a pattern similar to the two-dimensional code, and the light of the unique wavelength of guò is transmitted to the sensor, and the signal column of the mail boy can easily receive a considerable amount of information, so as to identify the door number.
What is the use of automatic house number recognition? The mail boy is not blind, and he still uses the machine to judge, isn't it a waste? Don't worry, of course there are benefits to this, and it will solve a big problem for the mail boy, is the head of the household at home? Who knows about this question? Clever thieves know that before the burglary, they will observe whether the family's electricity meter is turning for a while, and the strategy of smart house numbers is similar to that of smart thieves, and the answer to this question can probably be known by judging the water and electricity usage of the residents, and it is quite accurate. You may not use electricity in the daytime, but you don't use water, and even if you don't wash your hands after going to the toilet, you have to flush it, right?
After coming to a certain house, the machine connected to the network can help the postman make a judgment, is to go up"! Open the door and your water meter has arrived! "Or leave gracefully, or put a notice on the door of the householder after leaving twice, and let the householder go to the post office to pick up the package on his own.
Blessed are the users who send registered letters and registered parcels, the postal system with better service can arrange unified evening delivery, and the postal system with wisdom will of course calculate the best delivery route and time for users at home, and the city that outsources the postal system to Wind Bird Express will get unexpected high-quality services.
In the past, Wind Bird Express was only delivered to the node, not to the door, because Tangning does not like to do labor-intensive industries, so the third-party postal company, express company or undertake the last kilometer of service, with the wisdom of the door number, Wind Bird Express can also do its own door-to-door service, and do it more efficiently than anyone else. That's Downing's style.
To this end, Downing also commissioned the team to develop a self-balancing e-bike for the postal service, which can easily transport 100-kilogram parcels, which is the first time that Windsor Enterprises has been involved in the e-bike industry, and his goal is that when people ask which weight-bearing bicycle is stronger, people will be the first to think of this kind of bicycle called "Wind Bird Messenger".
Wind Bird Messenger has the same navigation system, so it can use the specially designed green channel, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity of the postman, and even better is that after the number of postal services is docked with the green channel, the automatic driving of bicycles can be realized, and new employees no longer have to worry about being criticized by the leader for not being efficient.
There is a big problem with the popularity of green lanes, because only the Windsor consortium has exclusive access to this technology, so the municipal department will obviously be criticized by competitors for opening up a part of the road for a company alone, so Downing simply asked the team to design an elevated road that is above the ground and does not take up too much space, presumably there will be much less resistance in the municipal department.
Because the air green channel is only prepared for the Zephyr Bird messenger, and the system also regulates the flow of traffic nodes, its load-bearing capacity is much smaller and cheaper than the real elevated traffic, which is why Tangning intends to develop elevated traffic, otherwise it will fail commercially.
The final plan is a steel structure, with a wide bottom and a narrow top, on which the two sides can greet each other at close range, so that the Taoist friends of the green channel can enhance friendship. The skeleton of the road surface is a steel mesh, and then laid with high-quality cement, using prefabricated parts of the construction method, due to the large weight of the body, and the thickness of the bottom, it does not even need to lay the foundation, can be quietly constructed, can also be demolished at any time.
Each component is 30 meters long, the width is determined according to the road surface, an airship crane can be operated and deployed in place, almost three minutes can be installed on site, the average component from the factory to the site distance of 3 kilometers, the flight time is 6, 7 minutes, then 10 minutes to lay 30 meters, 1 per day can be laid. 5 km elevated. Each 7 by 7 km "perfect city" lattice class trunk line can be 84 kilometers, and the construction period is only 56 days, with 10 cranes, it is possible to complete this great urban elevated green corridor project in a week.

The benefits of being able to travel freely through the green corridor are obvious, and as a continuation of the project, the Guangzhou city government has become the first "city in the sky" to eat crabs. It is worth mentioning that in order to further enhance the status of the Guangdong Tower, Guangdong Province has set the Central District as a landmark with the Guangdong Tower. Guangdong Tower is not the center of Guangzhou City, but this is not a matter of principle, and Tang Ning will not interfere.
Cantonese people are very fond of kapok, so one of the team's natives planted kapok on both sides of the sky greenway to add joy, and whenever the spring flowers bloom, Guangzhou citizens can enjoy the fire-like style of "red flowers blooming all over the kapok road, and the long street seems to be burning".
Therefore, the citizens of Guangzhou later called the air greenway the red cotton road. When the Red Cotton Road was completed, it happened to be a happy day when the median income of Guangzhou citizens surpassed that of Shanghai and ranked first in the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, the ranking of residents' income in Asian cities is as follows: 1. Singapore; 2。 Sapporo; 3。 Guangzhou; 4。 Calcutta; 5。 Shanghai; 6。 Tokyo. Beijing missed the opportunity to become the second oldest.
