Chapter 259 Urban Planning
In the conference hall of Xinghuo Science and Technology Research Center, scientists related to the Blue Ocean Project such as Zhou Yu and Feng Yunde, as well as specially invited architects, sociologists and other related experts, discussed the planning of the water city.
Feng Yunde was the first to introduce: "The total carrying mass of our floating cities is 3 million to 10 million tons.
Including the seabed hydrocondensate colloid, the sea area covers about 1,000 square kilometers, which is almost the area of a small county.
It can carry a normal life of about 200,000 people.
The characteristics of the water city also determine that the buildings of this city should not exceed 20 meters, and the building materials used are lightweight building materials. ”
Many experts are constantly discussing the planning of the city according to the characteristics of the city.
Everyone has their own ideas, and the proposed solutions are strange.
Zhou Yu saw that this way of discussion would take a long time, and he directly proposed: "The first water city is mainly to verify the function of the water city, and will not carry out complex underwater operations.
The main purpose is to make the water city have a self-circulation function, and the most important thing is that clothing, food, housing and transportation can be solved by itself, and the primary industry is mainly developed.
With this goal in mind, the blueprint for the entire city is planned. ”
If a city wants to survive, it must be able to provide its citizens with the necessities of survival, and clothing, food, shelter and transportation are the necessities for people's survival.
The more high-end necessities are entertainment, education, health care, etc.
Wang Xiaoxiao looked at everyone, and said with a proud look on his face: "Our genetic research institute can solve the most important food problem.
Through gene editing, we have developed food crops that can be grown on the surface of the sea and fish that can be easily farmed in tanks.
These foods are abundant and can provide an abundant source of food for floating cities without the need for external supplies. ”
Zhou Yu approved: "Director Wang's project is very good, with enough food, you can solve the most difficult problems in the floating city, water and food can be solved, and the rest of the problems are not difficult."
With the food access program provided by the Genetic Research Institute, the problem of food and water supply in floating cities can be completely solved.
Desalination plants can provide abundant fresh water resources for floating cities.
Water and food are solved, and the water city is basically self-sufficient, even if it is disconnected from the outside world due to special circumstances, they can hold on for a long time.
Liu Jing said with a smile: "Now neutrino communication satellites can cover all places in China.
Our Mechanical Research Institute has developed amphibious intelligent robots that can move freely in shallow water.
They are made of organic polymer materials, which have strong hardness, low density and light weight, which is suitable for the place of water city.
With artificial intelligence Xianghua commanding, intelligent robots can be used as cleaners in the water city, teachers in the water city, and doctors in the water city.
With just a small number of administrators, doctors and teachers, public services can be built in a floating city. ”
Experts focus on the characteristics of the primary industry in the floating city.
Taking into account the natural environment of the sea, and then according to the characteristics of the floating city floating on the sea, according to the slightly undulating characteristics of the sea level, they designed the architectural format of the floating city and planned each area of the floating city.
The floating city has a certain slope, it is higher in the middle and lower on all sides. This is to drain the water in the city as soon as possible due to rainfall.
The sea is often stormy and windy, and the ocean is also stormy, even if the buoyancy material of the city on the water is two meters above the water level. It is also common for seawater to pour into the floating city.
It is precisely because of these characteristics that the essential difference between a water city and a land city is determined.
People living in the city on the water must wear bionic fish gills to prevent drowning caused by seawater backfilling or accidental falling into the water.
As long as people wear bionic fish gills and arrange amphibious intelligent robots around the water city, they can quickly respond to the rescue.
All the architectural styles of the floating city are not angular, but adopt arc-like transitions.
It is to prevent the backflow of seawater, which accidentally washes people away and hits the building, causing secondary injury.
The water city has its own unique clothes, which are made of organic polymer material polypentyl acetate waterproof and breathable fiber, one of the important inventions of the Blue Ocean Project.
The clothes it makes are called waterproof clothing, and this waterproof clothing has the characteristics of breathability and waterproofing.
Waterproof clothing is comfortable and prevents water from getting into your clothing.
At present, the technology of carbon dioxide to produce ethylene and remake organic polymer materials is very mature.
The floating city has its own waterproof and breathable fiber factory, which can produce various forms of waterproof clothing at a very cheap price.
The buildings of floating cities are generally three-story buildings with a height of about 12 meters.
The lowest floor is a hollow floor with a height of 5 meters, and this floor only puts items or keeps some family pets, and does not live in people.
Super buoyancy materials will fluctuate slightly with the wind and waves at sea, and it is very common for wind and rain to be heavy on the sea surface, and wind and waves more than ten meters high.
This kind of hollow floor is mainly convenient for the passage of rainwater and seawater, and it is also composed of hydraulic beams and columns, through the adjustment of hydraulic machinery, so that people living in the building can not perceive the up and down fluctuations of super buoyancy materials.
The style of the building is also different from that of the onshore building, which is made of polymer mixed material, which is very light in weight and excellent in waterproofing performance.
The roof of the building is not flat, it is the structure of the room, which allows rainwater or sea water to flow quickly from the roof.
The master plan of the water city is an area with high human activity, located in the center of the city.
For example, residential houses, management institutions, hospitals, schools.
The more important places are close to the city center. For example, food processing plants, scientific research centers, desalination plants, and various industrial plants.
The outermost layer is home to a number of functional and recreational facilities.
For example, facilities such as wave dams, city parks, and zoos.
The transportation facilities of the floating city are also very characteristic of the floating city.
There are only two types of transportation: electric cars and rail trains.
Electric vehicles are amphibious electric vehicles, it can not only be driven on the road, variable track wheels can also become propellers, driving in the water, the maximum depth is 10 meters, but amphibious electric vehicles generally only drive on the water.
Rail transit is a subway that is fully enclosed with pipelines, and does not use magnetic levitation.
Maglev needs to be arranged on the track maglev equipment, it is a high-current equipment, once the water in the city backflow, if the leakage phenomenon is found, it is in the water electricity.
The subway is also powered by particle batteries, but the particle batteries are in the subway car, and even if seawater backs up, there is enough time to cut off the power of the particle batteries.
Zhou Yu saw that the basic planning of the floating city was basically completed.
This is just talk on paper, and the actual situation needs to be improved according to the situation of the first water city test, and then after discovering the problem.
