Chapter 160: An Engineering Miracle That Stirs the World! (1)
Returning to China from Antarctica, Gao Yuan announced in public that he would build an unprecedented bridge in the Qiongzhou Strait to connect Hainan with the mainland.
"It's just a bridge, how else do you want to be unprecedented?"
"Cable-stayed bridges, steel bridges, arch bridges, there are so many types of bridges in the world, and Boss Gao is too big."
"That is, with the poor quality of the project in Huaxia, it would be good to ensure that it would not be destroyed by a typhoon."
"It can't be an unprecedented inferior quality, right?"
"Bragging about not paying taxes, sit back and wait for the Kunlun Group to explode on the spot!"
As soon as Gao Yuan's voice fell, he was ruthlessly ridiculed by Western netizens, who did not doubt the ability of the infrastructure madman, but more disagreed with Gao Yuan's wording, and did not think that a cross-sea bridge could reach an unprecedented level.
Gao Yuan said seriously: "The length of the Qiongzhou Strait is only eighteen kilometers, which is not an insurmountable distance from the perspective of modern engineering. ”
"As for economic issues, the Hong Kong-Macao-Zhuhai Bridge, which cost more than 130 billion yuan, has been repaired, not to mention the bridge for his own brother Hainan? When it comes to improving Hainan's traffic conditions, we shouldn't be afraid to spend money. ”
"As an aside, I don't actually like the Hong Kong-Macao-Zhuhai Bridge, its existence is meaningless, and it's almost the same as changing it to the Shenzhen-Macao-Zhuhai Bridge."
"Forget it, let's not talk about those bastards, let's talk about reality."
"The reality of the Qiongzhou Strait is very bad, just 18 kilometers away, but across three seismic zones, since there is meteorological data, typhoons every year, these unstable factors, is an important reason for the delay in the construction of the Hainan Bridge."
"For a mega project like this, safety must undoubtedly be put first, but unfortunately, no construction party or designer dares to guarantee the safety of the project, whether it is a tunnel or a bridge."
"However, this situation has changed this year, because what others can't do, we Kunlun Technology can do!"
"Let's use a short video to introduce our design to everyone!"
Swish~
With Gao Yuan's order, a short video began to play in the live broadcast room, and the camera was located at a high altitude, shooting downward, only to see workers in the concrete square, inspecting the huge semicircular pipe.
These pipes use Kunlun Dark Star technology, a single section is fifty meters long, capable of accommodating eight cars side by side, and the pipes have an elastic lock structure at the front and rear, which seems to be an improved version of Kunlun Infinity and Kunlun Silver Frost technology, which is strong and elastic.
It is worth noting that some of the workers in this huge square, wearing the Atomic Ant No. 1 mechanical exoskeleton, with the help of powerful mechanical forces, their work efficiency has been greatly improved, and they are completing the construction of giant semicircular pipes with unimaginable speed.
The screen flickered for a moment, transitioning from live action to 3D demo animation.
In the animation, section after section of semicircular pipes, through the lock structure at the front and back ends, like Lego bricks, are quickly connected in series, and then sunk to the bottom of the sea by the engineering ship.
The bottom of the pipe has a grip structure similar to that of a ship's anchor, which quickly grips the seabed after sinking and prevents the pipe from moving with the current.
Subsequently, workers wearing submersible mechanical exoskeletons also went to work under the sea, using giant engineering rivets to fix the pipes for the second time.
Due to the elastic structure of the two sections before and after each section of the pipeline, the pipeline still has a room of activity after it is fixed, and in the event of an earthquake or other disaster, the pipeline can exert the characteristics of elastic expansion and contraction to ensure that it will not break.
The camera zooms in and goes all the way inside the pipe.
The audience realized that the pipeline actually has two layers, and workers will regularly patrol the mezzanine, even if the first layer is damaged by external forces, the second layer can still ensure the safety of the pipeline.
The most coquettish part of the demo animation is the submersible mechanical exoskeleton, which is worn by workers with powerful spotlights above their heads, illuminating the dark sea water as if it were daylight, and they patrol along the pipes every day to prevent risks.
At this point, the situation is very clear, the so-called Qiongzhou Strait Bridge on the plateau is actually a building sunk at the bottom of the sea.
"It's too much, you call this thing a bridge!?"
"It's an undersea tunnel!"
"It doesn't seem to be accurate, after all, no rock formations have been excavated."
"How do you describe it?"
"Whatever, it's over!"
"Describe incompetence, only one sentence is sent!"
"It's too powerful, you've seen the underwater mechanical exoskeleton, right?"
"I saw it, but it should be just a concept product, and it hasn't been put into production yet, right?"
"You can rest assured, as long as you are targeted by Boss Gao, it will definitely be completed!"
"I believe this!"
"I believe it too!"
The crazy outbreak of the barrage shows everyone's emotions very well, in addition to shock, there is also a high-spirited mood.
Such a shocking design was not questioned by the audience, as if everyone believed that since Kunlun Company dared to propose a design, it would definitely be able to complete it.
"Oh my God, I'm sour, why don't we have such a good thing?"
"What is the use of acid, with the character of the plateau, this technique will definitely not be exported."
"What's the use of exporting? The style of turning inward with the elbow of the plateau is also used by the little brothers in Huaxia first. ”
"Hahaha~ I'm laughing to death, Boss Gao has long said that the things of Kunlun Group, if you want it, you have to add money!"
"Cut, the ghost is rare these broken pipes, we have built the Anglo-French undersea tunnel!"
"It's just that we can dig tunnels without these pipes!"
"Hey, the cost of sinking a pipe to the bottom of the sea is not the same as digging an undersea tunnel."
"The time is not the same, the undersea bridge in the Qiongzhou Strait seems to be completed soon, and the tunnel will take at least ten or twenty years."
In the blink of an eye, the short film was played, and the camera returned to the beach in Haikou.
Gao Yuan smiled, pointed to the sea in the distance and said: "You see, that is the place where the Qiongzhou Submarine Bridge will pass in the future." ”
"I know some people will question whether it will be necessary to build so many roads and bridges in the future with the spread of flying car technology. Can't just fly in the air? ”
"This problem, first of all, even if the flying car is small, it is a high-speed aircraft, which can pose a huge threat to people and buildings on the ground at any time, so unless all risks are eliminated, the flying car will only exist as an auxiliary means of transportation, and it will be highly controlled by the state apparatus, and will not be open to ordinary people."
"For a long time to come, we will still have to focus on cars, so the construction of various bridges and highways is still very necessary."
"And in the final analysis, the submarine bridge technology is also an underwater transportation technology, and it will be indispensable for us to use it in seabed mining and building bases in the future, which is a necessary pre-technology for future super projects."
"Okay, today's live broadcast should end here, this live broadcast, we don't have any new technology launched, all are the actual application of past technology, which is also in line with the corporate culture of our Kunlun Group, scientific research is very important, more important than scientific research, is to use science and technology to change our lives."
"According to the plan, the construction of the Qiongzhou Strait will take around 12 months, and if nothing else, we will be here again in a year to see the dream become a reality."
"In addition, I would like to announce that on April 1st, we will have a live broadcast of new product launches, and we will introduce epoch-making new technologies! Everyone is welcome to tune in when they arrive. ”
"That's all for this live broadcast, goodbye everyone!"
After that, the plateau disappears from the camera, leaving only the sun and the sand in the picture.
"Twelve months?"
"The construction period of the Qiongzhou Strait Submarine Bridge is only 12 months!?"
"Incredible efficiency!"
"Just kidding, our infrastructure madness plus Kunlun Group, the effect is very good."
"I want to know one thing now, when will I use the submarine bridge to connect that broken island?"
