Chapter 150: City of Miracles
In the early morning after the rain, the air is crisp, and the sun walks through the slightly waterlogged streets of a residential area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAlthough it was Sunday, there were two elementary school students holding umbrellas and wearing rain boots, a backpack with watermelon heads, and a single room shoulder bag with a small inch. The two of them used the umbrella in their hands as weapons to fight with each other, shouting the name of the move full of the atmosphere of the middle two, and running with a smile.
Xiang Yang wore a tight-fitting black long-sleeved, loose slacks, and earplugs to follow the two children unhurriedly. Cram school? Training? There was no way to know where they were going, but this slightly familiar scene evoked Xiang Yang's memories, and he couldn't help but want to follow.
"Ding Ding Ding ~" The wind chimes rang violently, and the two children pushed open the glass door of a breakfast shop in the wind, one went to occupy a seat, and the other ordered food loudly. Xiang Yang stood still in front of the door, touched his stomach, and went out in the morning in a hurry and didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he simply made up for it here. "Ding~" The wind chimes swayed lightly, Xiang Yang took off the earbuds, and after ordering breakfast, he found a place by the window and sat down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am now at the construction site of the new third district of Kaifeng...... Whoa...... We can see ...... "In front of Xiang Yang, a female reporter reports to the camera, with a huge steel structure and a cloudless blue sky behind her. Her hair was blown by the strong wind, and the sound of the wind whistled from time to time in the microphone.
In the past ten days since the launch of "5H", related topics have been occupying the headlines of the news, but no matter how popular the news is, there is also a day when it is cold. In the headlines of the past two days, the domestic side has returned to the construction of Kaifeng New City and the report of the super popular idol Yueshan concert, and the international side is the new action of US imperialism in aerospace.
Kaifeng, the ancient capital of the Ten Dynasties, the capital of the Seven Dynasties!
Because of its proximity to the Yellow River, every time the Yellow River bursts its banks in history, Kaifeng will be completely submerged, and the city has been completely destroyed several times. However, each generation of Kaifeng people will rebuild their homes in the sediment of the Yellow River, which has also created the phenomenon of Kaifeng fortress city. That is, the city wall of Kaifeng is built on the Qing city wall, and a few meters below the Qing city wall is the Ming city wall, and so on. Thirteen meters underground in this city is the ruins of another city, and its name is Daliang, Weidu Daliang!
Kaifeng's new city construction plan is the city fortress city that began in Kaifeng! The designer divided Kaifeng into three areas, the new first area is the underground building, the second area is the ground building, and the new third area is the high-altitude building. We know that Kaifeng itself retains many of the buildings of the Song Dynasty, and the designers rebuilt a large number of modern facilities through urban planning, trying to restore the old view of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Ten years, it has been ten years since the start of the new city construction plan, and in the first two years, the topics of the newspaper have been around the second district demolition, claims, forced evictions, lawsuits and so on. The two-year clean-up and housewarming was completed gradually, and after the demolition of part of the building into an ancient building, the original residents were moved in, and because the modern houses were converted into ancient buildings, there were bound to be more residents, and that part was resettled in the expanded outer city.
It was also in those two years that an architect appeared in the eyes of the Chinese people, the international architect Li Junlan! As one of the few female architects, she has been committed to the restoration and construction of ancient buildings, and her works are mainly concentrated in China, Japan and South Korea, and she also has a little involvement in ancient buildings in Egypt and Greece. Many people believe that she is more of an archaeologist than an architect because of her insane obsession with ancient buildings and artifacts. Those wealthy merchants who wanted to ask her to design a private garden had to give her important collections, in addition to the necessary honorarium. In order to protect the ancient buildings, she will not hesitate to form a human wall with her students to block those who try to destroy them.
For the first two years, there was wishful thinking that the so-called new city plan was nothing more than an urban retro plan for tourism. Whether it is online or real, housewarming victims or opponents of ideas are strongly opposed to this kind of retrogressive behavior, and even demonstrations. But when the design of the new first district was made public, the underground passage began to be excavated, and even the headlines of the newspapers became, "Li Junlan is crazy"!
The construction area of the new first district is located 160 meters to 200 meters below the city of Kaifeng, which is not the site of the 13-meter girder, and the load-bearing and building height are all issues to be considered. However, it is really ready to copy the Weidu girder according to the scan map at 13 meters!
The excavation of the underground passage took another two years, and in these two years, don't think that all they did was dig a vertical passage. In the past two years, a considerable part of the composition of the strata between Kaifeng City and the new first district has been replaced with other materials, and many inexplicable devices have been filled. It is precisely because there are two years that the wall of the passage is installed with crystal walls, from top to bottom, the human environment inlaid in the murals, the Qingming Yuan, the Song, the Tang, the Sui, the Jin, the Wei, the Han and the Qin Warring States, like going back in time, painting the Chinese civilization.
The architect who presided over the excavation and filling of the strata was named Xie Zhaonian, who is widely regarded as a leader in contemporary Chinese architecture, and his design works are each well-known in the world. He once built a five-star hotel on the high seas for the Middle Eastern tyrants on the high seas, using a steel structure similar to an offshore oil mine; A high-rise building in Shanghai was found to have a hidden danger of ground collapse due to excessive use of groundwater, and it was he who presided over the ground renovation and even built an underground mini observation room to prevent similar incidents from happening again. There are countless such classic cases, and CCTV has made a series of documentaries for him.
Master Xie is here to help! Every Chinese person thought so after Xie Zhaonian disappeared after he finished transforming the strata. It wasn't until four years later, in the third year of Xiangyang's college year, that the last part of the new city construction plan, the design of the new third district, was published in the newspaper, and everyone was shocked. Everyone here, including not only Xiang Yang and his friends, has extended to the international scope.
You know, the dungeon built in Kaifeng is still retro, which is crazy enough, and many foreign designers have complained. In the past seven years, Kaifeng's tourism industry can be described as bursting, with an endless stream of tourists from all over the world visiting every day to see what the crazy buildings that have been sprayed by their own country are like, and by the way, feel the thick Chinese culture.
Good guys, now you're going to have a modern overhead building over the city. It's said that you have to consider the lighting on the ground, or the kind of high-altitude building that moves every once in a while, just kidding?!
The architecture of the new Third Ward is not a suspended castle in science fiction, but is based on a number of steel frames raised from the ground, which are referred to as fulcrums in the design proposals. For the sake of these fulcrums, Li Junlan had to leave a lot of vacant land in the outer city, and these fulcrums also greatly damaged the old view of Bianjing in the second district. For this matter, she did not ask Xie Zhaonian for a theory, but Xie Zhaonian always smiled and did not reply.
Xiang Yang is not a technologist, there is no elective in science and engineering, he does not know whether the building is slowly moving on the fulcrum, using magnetic levitation or other Rausch sub-technology. However, Xie Zhaonian did do it in three years to build a very small urban area! Then one day, this city integrating underground, ground, and high-altitude buildings will appear in this world completely!
To paraphrase a foreign expert, such a city is simply a city of miracles!
