Technological Supremacy Chapter 553: New material, ice blade

Published:

Star Technology officially launched its own real estate project, named City of Stars. Relying on a height of 1,836 meters and a huge volume that accommodates a million people, City of Stars quickly shocked the entire world.

When Luo Jia used his expertise in material mechanics to tell everyone why the City of Stars was able to be built to such a height, the real estate tycoon represented by Boss Yang still refused to give up and raised a second sharp question. The problem.

“Even if titanium alloys can be used to build skyscrapers with a height of more than 20,000 meters, your city of stars does not use any metal supports at all. I doubt that the city of stars looks like a plastic transparent material , just like the plastic greenhouses in the farmland, is there really no problem?”

Boss Yang personally asked the question. He put his arms around his arms and looked at Luo Jia unceremoniously.

The people at the scene actually had some doubts, because all the materials used to build the City of Stars are obviously not graphene or carbon fiber, but a light and transparent material similar to plastic.

Although Boss Yang said that the city of stars is like a plastic greenhouse in the farmland, which is obviously belittling, but it is undeniable that this almost transparent building structure without metal brackets always gives people a not-so-sturdy impression .

Luo Jia shrugged with a smile, “Boss Yang, do you have any misunderstandings about plastic products?”

“From polymethyl methacrylate to polycarbonate, these plastic materials have been widely used in the construction industry for decades, and they always have excellent performance. The tetrafluoroethylene copolymer used in the Beijing Water Cube, that is, fluoroplastics , also experienced severe tests, without any problems.”

“On the contrary, the building of Boss Yang’s company used a lot of reinforced concrete. It was dumped as soon as it was dumped, and many workers were killed. It can be seen that whether the building is safe or not has nothing to do with the materials used, but It has a lot to do with the intention of the builder.”

Hahahaha~

There was a roar of laughter at the scene. To be honest, Boss Yang’s character and values ​​were disdainful even by his peers. At this moment, he was crazily dissed by Luo Jia, and none of his peers even spoke for him. They all looked at him from the sidelines. joke.

As Luo Jia gestured to the backstage, a CG demonstration animation appeared on the big screen, groups of starships were cruising in space, standing in the command room of the starships, through the huge French windows, one could witness the boundless starry sky.

When the fleet passes through the sky above Mars, the camera moves down to the surface of Mars. The human colony base is built under the transparent dome. A group of teenagers are chasing on the football field. They found the fleet passing overhead and stopped. During the football game, he stopped and watched, and rushed to the distant fleet to salute, with a look of determination on his immature face.

This demonstration animation is only three minutes long, which is not too long. It mainly shows the living and working conditions of the expedition fleet and the Mars base.

However, when this cg animation finished playing, no one could calm down anymore. Some people with keen observation ability found clues from it.

“I have a feeling that the dome of the Mars base is very similar to the outer wall of the city of stars, it seems to be the same material!”

“I also noticed that the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of the starship command room may also be made of the same material!”

People quickly linked the city of stars with the space program, and Luo Jia’s subsequent introduction also ignited people’s enthusiasm again.

“As we all know, our No. 0 space station and No. 1 elevator will be completed on the eve of the Spring Festival, followed by our No. 2 and No. 3 plans. There will be starships, as well as moon bases and Mars bases. of.”

“In short, facing the sea of ​​stars has always been the highest law of our star science and technology, and in the process of facing the sea of ​​stars, we have discovered a series of problems and solved a series of problems, such as the city of stars that you have seen , the main material it uses is called ice blade.”

“To explain in the most common words, the ice blade is an optically alienated version of graphene and carbon fiber materials, because both carbon fiber and graphene are opaque, and there is no problem in building a space station, but we still need A high-permeability strong material, as the window of the starship, the laser project that will be heavily invested in the future will also use the ice blade.”

“If you want to ask, Xingchen Technology obviously has powerful graphene nanotube technology, super material plus nanotechnology, it can be called unparalleled in the world, wouldn’t it be beautiful to use it to build skyscrapers?”

“The reason is very simple, the price, our goal is to lower the housing price, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, the current price of graphene is not cheap enough, the requirements of ice blade materials for construction are not as good as Mars bases or starship portholes, and the price is not as good as Glass.”

Boom~

After listening to Luo Jia’s introduction, the scene exploded in an instant. As a space material, ice blades are actually cheaper than glass? This is incredible and completely subverts people’s three views.

Since the average land share is very low, and the building materials are cheaper than glass, the cost of the City of Stars is ready to be revealed. Although it may be a super skyscraper, the cost of the City of Stars is actually far lower than that of ordinary concrete buildings.

At this moment, the real estate bosses present, headed by Boss Yang, all had ugly faces and tingling scalps. There is no doubt that the appearance of the City of Stars has changed the lives of traditional real estate developers. According to the current plan, at least dozens of cities of stars can be built in Yangpu District alone. Based on the calculation that each city of stars can accommodate one million people, it is more than enough to fit the entire population of Shanghai into Yangpu District.

In this way, the contradiction between land and population is completely resolved. In the foreseeable future, Shanghai will no longer need a large amount of land to build residential buildings. What about the remaining land?

Luo Jia’s answer is woods and lawns, the city center, that is, Jing’an and Huangpu districts, plus Pudong, Changning, and part of Xuhui, will maintain low-rise buildings while restoring the characteristics of Shikumen, and the surrounding area will be fully used Surrounded by the City of Stars, coupled with a large amount of green space ~Soverse.com~ From a high altitude, Shanghai is completely green, not a piece of gray reinforced concrete.

“In the future, humans will claim living space from the sky and return the land to woods, grasslands, and creeks, so where will our vehicles go?” Luo Jia asked himself and answered: “This problem will be solved in two steps. A huge underground parking lot, followed by a well-developed public transportation system.”

“In addition to traditional means of transportation such as the subway, we will also improve the urban bus system in the future, the Chinese standard bus, the kind that can fly.”

Curved the corner of his mouth, Luo Jia smiled and said: “You may have seen from the blueprint that the Star Bus parks at different levels, that is to say, if you live on the top floor of the 420th floor In the apartment, there is no need to go down to the first floor to take the bus, the bus will stop on the top floor, the 320th floor, the 220th floor, the 120th floor, and the 20th floor.”

“The reason why there are so many 20 floors is because the 20 floors on the ground are commercial floors, where supermarkets and office buildings are located. Residential buildings start from the 21st floor, and our elevators use ultrasonic motors. The speed is beyond imagination, and I dare to assure everyone that the operating efficiency of the City of Stars will surpass all the current skyscrapers.”

As if peeling off the cocoon, following Luo Jia’s speech, people’s doubts about the Xingchen Building were solved bit by bit, and finally only excitement and shock remained.

What is futuristic sci-fi architecture?

That’s it!
