Chapter 553: New Material, Ice Blade
Star Technology officially launched its own real estate project, called Star City. Relying on a height of 1,836 meters and a huge size that can accommodate a population of one million, Star City quickly shocked the entire world.
When Luo Jia used the material mechanics he was good at telling everyone why the City of Stars could be built to such a height, the real estate giant represented by Boss Yang still refused to give up and raised a second sharp question.
"Even if titanium alloy can be used to build a skyscraper with a height of more than 20,000, your Star City does not use any metal support at all. I doubt that Star City looks like a transparent material that is like a plastic greenhouse in the farmland. Is there really no problem?"
Boss Yang asked in person, and he hugged his arms and looked at Luo Jia without hesitation.
The people at the scene actually had some doubts, because all the materials for building the City of Stars were obviously not graphene or carbon fiber, but a lightweight transparent material similar to plastic.
Although Boss Yang said that the City of Stars is like a plastic greenhouse in a farmland, it is obvious that this almost transparent building structure without metal brackets always gives people a not very solid appearance.
Luo Jia smiled and shrugged, "Boss Yang, do you have any misunderstandings about plastic products?"
"From polymethyl methacrylate to polycarbonate, these plastic materials that have been widely used in the construction industry for decades, have always performed well. The tetrafluoroethylene copolymer used by Jingcheng Water Cube, also known as fluoroplastics, have also experienced harsh tests and no problems have occurred."
"On the contrary, the construction of Boss Yang's company has used a lot of reinforced concrete. It was poured out and killed many workers. It can be seen that whether the building is safe has nothing to do with the materials used, but it has a lot to do with whether the builder is attentive."
Hahahaha~
There was a burst of laughter from the scene. To be honest, Boss Yang's character and values were often despised even when he was with his peers. At this moment, he was DISSED by Luo Jia, and his peers didn't even talk to him, and they were all watching his jokes.
As Luo Jia signaled to the backstage, a CG demonstration animation appeared on the big screen. Groups of starships were swimming in space, standing in the starship's command room, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, they could witness the vast starry sky.
When the fleet passed over Mars, the camera moved downward and came to the surface of Mars. The human colonial base was built under the transparent dome. A group of teenagers were chasing the football field. They found the fleet passing by above their heads, so they stopped the game, stopped and watched, and rushed to the fleet in the distance to salute. The tender face showed a firm look.
This demonstration animation is only three minutes long and is not long. It mainly shows the life and work of the Expeditionary Fleet and the Mars Base.
However, when the CG animation was played, everyone could not calm down. Some people with keen observation skills found clues from it.
"I have a feeling that the dome of the Mars Base is very similar to the exterior wall of the City of Stars, and it seems to be the same material!"
"I also discovered that there are also transparent floor-to-ceiling windows in the Starship Command Room, which may be the same material!"
People quickly linked the City of Stars with the Space Project, and Luo Jia's subsequent introduction once again ignited people's enthusiasm.
"As we all know, our Space Station Zero and Elevator One will be completed on the eve of the Spring Festival, followed by our Plan 2 and Plan 3, which will be available for Starships, and Moon Base and Mars Base."
"In short, facing the sea of stars has always been the highest law of our star technology. In the process of facing the sea of stars, we have discovered a series of problems and solved a series of problems. For example, the main material used by the Star City that everyone sees is called Ice Blade."
"To explain it 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 light-transmitted, so there is no problem in building space stations. However, we also need a high-permeability intensity material. As the window of the starship, the ice blade will also be used in the future if it will be invested in a large amount of laser projects."
"If you want to ask, Star Technology has powerful graphene nanotube technology, and super materials and nanotechnology are unparalleled in the world. Wouldn't it be beautiful to build skyscrapers?"
"The reason is very simple, the price. Our goal is to lower housing prices so that everyone can live and work in peace. The current price of graphene is not cheap enough. The requirements for ice blade materials for construction are not as good as those for Mars bases or starship portholes, and the prices are not as good as those for glass."
Boom ~
After listening to Luo Jia's introduction, the scene exploded instantly. As a space material, ice blade is cheaper than glass? This is really incredible and completely subverts people's views.
Since the land is very low and the building materials are cheaper than glass, the cost of the Star City is about to emerge. Although it is a super skyscraper, the cost of the Star City is actually far lower than that of ordinary concrete buildings.
At this moment, the real estate tycoons present, led by Boss Yang, all looked ugly and their scalps were numb. There was no doubt that the emergence of Star City had revolutionized the lives of traditional real estate developers. According to the plan of Star Technology, at least dozens of Star City can be built in Yangpu District alone. According to the calculation that each Star City can accommodate one million people, it is more than enough to install the entire Shanghai capital into Yangpu District.
In this way, the contradiction between land and population will be completely resolved. In the foreseeable future, Shanghai will no longer need a large amount of land to build residential buildings. So what should we do with the remaining land?
Luo Jia's answer is the forest and lawn, the city center, namely Jing'an and Huangpu districts, plus some of Pudong, Changning and Xuhui, which will maintain low-rise buildings and restore the characteristics of Shikumen. The surroundings are surrounded by the city of stars and a large number of green spaces. From a high altitude, Shanghai is completely green and shiny, no longer a piece of gray reinforced concrete.
"In the future, humans will ask for living space from the sky and return the land to forests, grasslands, and streams. So where will our vehicles go?" Luo Jia asked and answered himself: "This problem is solved in two steps, first of all, the huge underground parking lot, and secondly, the developed public transportation system."
"In addition to traditional transportation such as subways, we will also improve the urban bus system, Chinese standard buses, and the kind that can fly in the future."
A curve raised in the corner of his mouth, Luo Jia smiled and said, "You may have seen from the blueprint that the Star Bus is parked at different levels. That is to say, if you live in a penthouse with a 420th floor, you don't need to go down to the first floor to take the bus. The bus will stop at the top floor, 320th floor, 220th floor, 120th floor, and 20th floor."
"The reason why there are so many twenty floors is because the twenty floors on the ground belong to commercial floors, which are the location of supermarkets and office buildings. The residential building starts from the twenty-first floor, and our elevator uses ultrasonic motors, which are faster than imagined. I dare to assure everyone that the operational efficiency of the Star City will surpass all the skyscrapers today."
It was like peeling off the cocoon, with Luo Jia's speech, people's doubts about the Star Building were solved little by little, and in the end they were only excitement and shock.
What is future science fiction architecture?
