Episode 362: Belfartz
Let's talk about the establishment of the outer city of Belfartz, which was actually just a spiral city tower with three floors. Due to the limitations of science and technology at that time, people could only build the city to the third floor at that time. Further up, the transportation of stone becomes a problem. As a result, at the beginning of that era, for about two or three hundred years, the spiral city tower could not continue to be built, and people at that time were still considering whether to continue to build new city towers elsewhere or just expand the area of the ground floor. In the end, the result was an expansion of the ground floor city around the Spiral City Tower. As a result, during that time, the bottom city continued to expand and gradually evolved into what it is today. With the rise of the scientific and technological revolution, the spiral city tower, which had been stopped for a time, was revitalized and began to be built.
The spiral city tower is separated from the outer city by a circular artificial river, which is about 600 meters wide and is connected by 16 bridges. The first floor of the tower covers an area of a staggering 12,000 square kilometers, and the second floor of the tower covers an area of about 8,000 square kilometers. Each floor will be reduced in size, and each floor will be almost a separate metropolis. However, here it is called a 'district' division. It is said that there are more than 7,000 foundation pillars below the second floor, and more than 5,000 on the third floor.
As the largest city in terms of area, Belfalts looks endless. Of course, the most conspicuous is the spiral city tower in the center of the city. It looks spectacular and attracts a large number of tourists every year.
Belfarc's outlying city attracts tourists from all over the world to visit the Spiral City Tower, but the main reason why the outlying city is so large is that there is a clear rule in Belfartz that --- 'no buildings that are too tall should be built'. As a result, it is difficult to see high-rise buildings with a height of more than 30 meters in the outlying city of Belfarz. The purpose of this is to prevent the building from being too tall and obstructing the view of the Spiral City Tower, which is the main reason for the expansion of the outer city.
After a short walk in the outer city, I took a special sightseeing bus to the spiral city tower, and finally arrived at the moat outside the spiral city tower after enjoying the scenery along the way.
When you stand here, you will notice that even the man-made river is quite beautiful. After the bridge in front of you, you will find the first floor of the Spiral City Tower, a commercial shopping district dominated by precious stones and precious metals. Of course, this floor also contains casinos, large clubs, amusement parks and other large entertainment facilities, which is the most prosperous entertainment center in Belfartz.
If you want to know how great humanity is, you can feel the greatness of humanity when you stand at the bottom of this spiral city tower. In just a few hundred years, humans have been able to create such intricate and magnificent buildings. I can't help but sigh at the wisdom of human beings. 020
There is a special observation deck here, but it is not the same as the observation deck on the building. The observation deck here is dedicated to providing people with a view and view of the entire Spiral City Tower. From this point of view, you can't see the whole picture, but you can see a corner of each floor. Just a glimpse of this corner is enough to feel the greatness and transcendent charm of this spiral urban tower.
The seven-storey structure beneath the spiral tower is made from the region's specialty quarry, which is light and hard, forming the basic foundation structure. Further up there is the artificial metal, the special memory metal that is far lighter than this stone, and is also stronger. This is the best material to continue building. Because, some engineering experts have calculated that the construction limit of that kind of stone can only reach the ninth floor, and if it goes up, the stone below will not be able to bear its weight.
Moreover, Belfartz is now planning to spend a lot of money on renovating the foundations of the lower floors, covering them all with new memory metal or replacing them in order to stabilize the spiral city tower and restore the weathered parts.
From the observation deck, you can see the green park near the top floor, which is also known as the 'Modern Sky Garden'
Walking further, after crossing the bridge, you will officially step into the spiral city tower in the center of the city. With such a big city, it's almost impossible to spend a month exploring them all. It's only true that you can visit the most important places in a short period of time. This is a new goal for a few of them after they get here. Tens of thousands of square kilometers of cities! Think about it, how big. It even surpasses the area of many countries. And that's not even counting the outskirts. The spiral city tower in the center also has a considerable area on each floor. How to play becomes a troublesome problem. The commercial and entertainment center on the first floor is not the target of play. This place can be visited one last time to buy some souvenirs. At this stage, the main goal is to move to the top. Each floor goes up either through a spiral road that circles around the perimeter, or it is called a sightseeing elevator that leans against the pillars of the city.
In this way, I went directly to the second floor.
