Chapter 112: A Bit Difficult Africa
What Bai Mu wants is not ordinary, first of all, the appearance must refuse to be ordinary, the appearance is composed of steel structure and glass curtain wall, this is the construction speed, and the second is domineering.
To go straight into the sky, to create the pride of the Mage Tower, the sense of approachability, mortals can only come to look up to it. It will become a landmark building on Earth after the advent of the interstellar age.
In order to prevent the ill-intentioned people from exceeding its height, Bai Mu is ready to ask the state of New York to enact a law that allows the maximum limit of buildings in New York City to be 300 meters.
The next day, the design company sent someone to come, and after listening to Bai Mu's description, the designer grasped the point: "A unique appearance that is beyond the ordinary? β
"That's right!" Bai Mu just wants this feeling, "And it should be combined with my technology, environmental protection and cleanliness, self-sufficient energy supply, and no need to rely on the outside world." β
"Technologically, we ......" the designer made a difficulty, predicting that the energy consumed by the operation of a building five or six hundred meters high would be extremely large.
"You don't have to worry about that, I can fix it." Bai Mu has a lot of ways, Tony's reactor can, right? If superconducting technology is available, miniaturized nuclear power generation can also be used.
Combined with the science of magic, the entire mage tower can be regarded as a large, immovable "mage artifact", and the energy it gains alone is dozens of times more than that of the signal tower!
It used to be a signal tower on the roof, but now it's an entire building, and if the magic lab can break down more magic buff principles, it can be a strategic weapon for mages!
The design firm began to work on this ambitious plan.
Bai Mu is responsible for mobilizing resources and giving the green light from all aspects. If you want to achieve the ideal requirements, the difficulty is really not small, first of all, ordinary construction steel is unavoidable, and the materials are at least the aerospace industry level.
If you can use vibranium, a special metal that absorbs energy, the effect will be even stronger. But it is not in much volume, and more is probably in the hands of Wakanda, and it also restricts exports.
In addition, the design must take into account the science of magic, not just the appearance of domineering, but actually the appearance of goods...... The design of the internal structure needs to be more worrying.
So the well-informed little screws were caught as coolies, and the relevant laboratories also took on the work of the scientific and technological part, and they had to unite the main factors.
The little screw looked at it and yawned: "It's a huge project." β
"There's a nuclear bomb in the pay." Bai Mu threw the bait.
The flame on the head of the small screw burned brightly, and Bai Mu was in a big position: "Double-digit." β
A flame burned in the eyes of the little screw, and Bai Mu still said: "The bureau still has the ability to continue to apply for more for scientific research." β
"So what are you waiting for, let's get started!"
β¦β¦
The engineering problem left Screws to consult with the group of magical scientists.
It is said that since the establishment of the Magic Science Laboratory, the credit of those scientists cannot be ignored, including his equipment, the equipment of the action team, and the establishment of the entire magical energy system, all of which have scientific wisdom in it.
Bai Mu crossed off one item on the list, and what was left was the main structural material. The materials of the aerospace industry are strong and durable, and they will not be easily destroyed, and they are used as the skeleton of buildings, even in the event of a major earthquake.
But he also wanted to build on this foundation, so he returned to his previous idea - if there was enough vibranium to use in key parts, such as the energy-absorbing structure of the foundation, or the special protection of the top of the tower, it would be perfect.
It's just that the United States doesn't have much of it, and the key that can't be bypassed is Wakanda, Africa.
Because of Wakanda's lack of communication with the outside world, for mysterious reasons, Bai Mu, who is in the United States, does not know much, and before he got government information, he recalled the information from film and television works and the Internet in his previous life.
In the comics of the previous life, it was said that the first developed in Africa is no longer enough to describe it, or is it the first developed technology on the earth? Because of the huge value of vibranium, the royal group has a wealth of nearly 100 billion US dollars?
Let's be honest, put this concept into reality...... It's completely unreasonable!
There's nothing wrong with saying that vibranium is worth a lot of money, and it's right to say that it's worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
But to say that an African feudal monarchy has such a strong scientific and technological force, and all aspects of technology are still overwhelming the world, and it is not affected by the five hooligans...... This blows too much.
In reality, it is difficult for this to happen, referring to Saudi Arabia, oil is equivalent to their vibranium, and it is also the rule of the royal family, and oil is too much to spend. But now everyone knows this bird, a typical big dog, with the best equipment in the world, but even the peasant guerrillas can't beat it.
In the same vein, African brothers, to be honest, the average IQ is a bit of that. There are so many ethnic vendettas in Africa, warlords are divided, and your entire race will be slaughtered at every turn, and when you encounter this kind of God-given wealth, it is more likely that the war will not stop for a moment, today you kill me, tomorrow I will destroy you, and no one will obey anyone.
Even if it is really ahead of the curve since ancient times, it is really the first in the world, and it is impossible to live in peace! There are too many open and covert struggles in the world because of the struggle for the first hegemony, and the United States and the Soviet Union are fighting for hegemony and the post-Cold War pattern.
It's not that you say you don't want to be the first, you don't want to fight for the first, I'll hide and hide well, and I'll be safe and sound. That's what the Manchus thought back then, and then they closed off the country and thought it was okay? The head of the Eight-Nation Alliance, everyone is awake, right?
If you are really the number one in the world, you are not targeted by any external forces, there is no cold war with the great powers, and you are not affected by the resource curse (the resource curse, the phenomenon of being economically rich in resources but the economy being dragged down)
This is definitely illogical, unrealistic, and a head-slapping dream!
It's no wonder that American comic editors have a history of just over 200 years, and the history that can be used for reference is limited.
Only thousands of years of wind and rain like China will know that if you are the first, you will still decline, and if you fall, you can climb back to be the first, and then decline.
So Wakanda, which is said to be the first in strength a long, long time ago, has been strong until now? !
Obviously, in comics, film and television works, Wakanda is protected by the most mysterious force in the starry sky, "political correctness", and the white leftists have given it the possibility of utopian existence.
But in the real world, there is no sweet dream, it does not want to be swallowed, it must move between multiple great powers, in order to find a balance that can keep its country from being subverted by external forces.
When he returned to his office in Washington, his intelligence confirmed this.
Wakanda has money, good technology, and an IQ online, but its strength is worse than that of the three gangsters. One of the reasons why it has not been subverted by external forces is that it does have brains.
It knows how to use strategic resources to play between several major powers, and if the United States wants to bully it, it may turn to China and Russia; If China and Russia have bad intentions, they will lean toward the West.
Therefore, several powerful countries in the East and the West have reached a cold balance around this: no one wants to monopolize Wakanda's strategic resources, and those who disrupt the balance will be targeted by other powers.
It is precisely by grasping this balance that it will not fall into war, and it can still have its own royal family, its own wealth, and buy a lot of advanced technology in the world to decorate its faΓ§ade.
But if you want to start with this situation, you have to brainstorm!
