Chapter 379: Sensational, Designing a High-Rise Building

When Shen Yulin heard her mother say this, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and glanced at her husband with her beautiful eyes full of spring.

After dinner, Zhou Tian and his wife coaxed the child for a while, but were then sent back by their grandmother and mother-in-law in disgust.

In the blink of an eye, the middle of May has passed. By the middle of the month, the weather in the city has become hotter and hotter. The trees on both sides of the road have begun to stretch out their green leaves, like emeralds hanging on the branches, which makes people feel happy.

As the news that the machinery factory was going to build a staff housing building spread more and more widely, many workers even came to Zhou Tian in person to confirm, and some other factory leaders also began to come to the machinery factory frequently to build relationships with Zhou Tian, ​​which made him a little annoyed.

Zhou Tian never imagined that just building a residential building for family members would cause such a sensation.

That day, Zhou Tian rode his bicycle to the machinery factory. As soon as he walked into the office and wiped the sweat from his forehead, he didn't even have time to take off his coat when the phone rang.

"Hello, this is the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory!"

"What? Minister, are you serious? Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to go to the Mechanical Department to get it! Okay, thank you for your help, Minister!"

Zhou Tian smiled, hung up the phone, and turned to Liu Yuan who was still sweeping the floor and said, "Xiao Liu, the land application for our factory has been approved. Go to the Machinery Department and get the documents back!"

"Director, is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan stopped what he was doing and asked with a somewhat happy look on his face.

"Of course it's true, how could it be false? But you're not married yet, so why are you so happy?"

Zhou Tian asked him teasingly with a smile.

"Director, isn't this just a question? If it's true, I'll immediately find someone to start dating and try to get the quota this time!"

Liu Yuan knew the priority principle in the factory's allocation, among which marriage was given priority, as was those with longer service. However, the machinery factory had only been established for three years, so length of service could be ignored.

But as for marriage, he can still fight for it.

"You, come on, stop talking nonsense and go!"

Zhou Tian waved his hand and pretended to be a little impatient.

"Then Director, I'll go right away!"

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and ran out quickly without even closing the door.

"This boy!"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but shook his head. Although he complained in his mouth, he couldn't help but show a happy look on his face. After all, the application from the military had already come down, and now all he needed was the approval from the Ministry of Machinery. Now that he had the approval from above, the next step would be to depend on the government's planning and design.

However, he did not intend to rely solely on the district government's planning. He wanted to design and plan it himself, as long as the district government could guarantee tap water, electricity, cement and building materials.

After thinking about it, he sat down, took out a stack of drawings and started to design. Most buildings of this era were only three to eight stories high, and there were very few buildings over eight stories high. The tallest building was the 57.8-meter Tianning Temple Pagoda.

Of course there are many reasons for this, but the main reason is the lack of technology and professional talents.

First of all, on the technical level, structural theory and technology are not mature enough, and there is a lack of sufficient experience and scientific basis for the structural design of high-rise buildings.

How to ensure the stability and safety of high-rise buildings under various loads such as deadweight, wind load, earthquake load, etc. is a huge challenge.

There was also the issue of how to ensure the earthquake-resistant design of high-rise buildings. At that time, research was still in its infancy and there was a lack of effective earthquake-resistant technologies and measures.

The construction technology is relatively backward, and there is a lack of advanced construction equipment and processes required to build high-rise buildings.

For example, vertical transportation is one of the key issues in constructing high-rise buildings. At that time, the lifting equipment and lifting technology were limited, making it difficult to transport large amounts of construction materials and construction workers to high-altitude work surfaces quickly and safely.

In addition, the construction techniques of high-rise buildings, such as formwork support and concrete pouring, are relatively crude, making it difficult to ensure construction quality and efficiency.

The performance and quality of building materials are also difficult to meet the requirements of high-rise buildings. The concrete strength at this time is relatively low, and the quality and specifications of steel bars are also limited, which is a great restriction on the structural strength and durability of high-rise buildings.

At the same time, the performance of the building's waterproofing, thermal insulation, and other materials is not ideal, which will affect the use function and comfort of high-rise buildings.

The lack of a large number of professional talents is also one of the reasons why high-rise buildings in this era are difficult to achieve, such as architectural designers, structural engineers, construction engineers, supervision engineers, etc.

Without the assistance of these professionals, it would be extremely difficult to build high-rise buildings. Of course, the shortage of construction machinery also makes building high-rise buildings very time-consuming.

Its cost is simply several times higher than the bottom layer.

Therefore, in this era, it is still very difficult to build high-rise buildings. Of course, all this is nothing to Zhou Tian. As for construction machinery, although he has never designed it, it does not mean that he has never seen it.

Especially since he is now the director of a machinery factory, it is not difficult for him to build some construction machinery.

What is difficult is whether the building materials of this era can meet the standards for building high-rise buildings. With the help of virtual space in the mind, it is technically the simplest.

With the idea in mind, he began to draw it on the blueprint. The first thing he did was to determine the height of the building. Although it was not difficult for him to design a building with a hundred floors, considering the current technical difficulties, he decided to build the building below twenty floors.

However, for such a high floor, an elevator is definitely needed. However, the elevator technology in foreign countries has been developed to a relatively mature level and does not require a complicated design.

With the current capabilities of machinery factories, it is not difficult to produce an elevator.

Time passed quickly as he concentrated on drawing the blueprints. In the blink of an eye, when he had just completed one-third of the design of the high-rise building, it was already time for lunch.

However, when he looked up and saw the documents on the table, he couldn't help feeling happy.

"It seems that Xiao Liu has returned. I didn't expect that I didn't notice him when he came in!"

He couldn't help but stretch himself. Just as he was about to get up and get the lunch box, he found that the lunch box was gone. It seemed that Liu Yuan had already taken it away.

After thinking about it, he shook his head, sat down again, took a sip of the tea on the table, and looked at his completed design, feeling indescribably satisfied.

Although there is still two-thirds of the entire design, the outline of the building can be roughly seen! Although it looks a bit rustic compared to the high-rise buildings in his previous life, he has no choice.

After all, there was a shortage of many construction materials, and he couldn't let people waste time looking for them. Otherwise, the project would be even more wasted. Even if he agreed, I'm afraid his superiors would not agree.
