I am farming in the real world

#241 - Invisible lifting protective wall

Wang Zhiyuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the mechanical device in the sand table, which resembled a 'rising and falling ground pillar'.

The reason he hadn't been to his newly assigned dormitory recently, but instead returned to his parents' home in Lianxing Village, was because he had been temporarily transferred to the 'Rui County · City of Racing' project team by the group.

And these 'rising and falling ground piles' on the sand table were the urban track design plans he had been responsible for recently.

In order to build Rui County into a unique 'City of Racing' in the world, so that racers and tourists from all over the world would have a bright feeling as soon as they arrived in this southern Zhejiang county, Chen Jue could be described as racking his brains.

He not only sent bidding announcements to several well-known construction companies at home and abroad that specialize in large-scale urban construction design, but also offered a reward pool of 5 million as an incentive to allow the Magic Cube Group's internal infrastructure department to participate in the 'City of Racing' design plan.

Finally, after a period of preparation and bidding, this 'City of Racing' urban construction project, with a total budget investment of no less than 50 billion and a design plan worth 1 billion, was won by the famous China Construction Middle East Company.

The reason for seeking design plans from China Construction's Middle East Company was because this China Construction subsidiary has a first-class international design team. It once joined hands with the American KPF architectural firm to create Dubai's most famous landmark, the Palm Jumeirah.

Although the Palm Jumeirah project, known as the world's ninth wonder, was left unfinished due to the financial crisis, the entire project took more than ten years from construction to completion, cultivating a large number of mature design and construction teams for China Construction Middle East Company.

Letting the Magic Cube Group's infrastructure department mix in as Party A, the first point is to be able to openly and legitimately stuff employees in to 'steal' and learn the mature infrastructure experience of the Middle East Company.

In addition, with the backing of China Construction, a state-owned enterprise, procedural, review, and qualification issues in some construction aspects can naturally be resolved with a green light.

It can even use 'localized' measures to apply some emerging infrastructure technologies to this City of Racing project.

Take the lifting ground pillars on both sides of the city's main roads as an example. They are considered when holding major events such as F1 city races, which require the streets on both sides to be enclosed.

In order to prevent racing cars from losing control and rushing out of the track due to cornering, acceleration, and overtaking, causing damage to the city buildings on both sides of the road, a large number of sandbags and water-filled barriers must also be placed along the way.

This kind of temporary barrier setting operation is very common in Europe and the United States. Cities such as Morocco, Phillip Island in Australia, and Imola in Italy all use this kind of 'municipal' barrier method to create street circuits.

It's crude, but it's very effective.

After all, once a high-speed racing car like F1 has an accident, the entire car can easily fly more than ten meters high at a speed of 200 or 300 kilometers per hour.

If these barriers are not put in place, any racing car that rushes out of the track will cause unpredictable losses.

Of course, Chen Jue's vision of the 'City of Racing' does not intend to introduce this extremely crude traditional barrier.

He plans to use advanced mechanical structures to create a set of high-tech metal barriers for Rui County's street circuit.

So he issued this idea to the project team, asking the employees to brainstorm and carry out targeted solutions.

This led to Wang Zhiyuan's hidden 'lifting ground pillar' plan.

Moreover, the hidden barrier designed by Wang Zhiyuan is very different from the cylindrical ground pillars commonly found in parking lots.

In addition to changing the appearance structure from a circular body to a strip-shaped cuboid parallel to the road edge, the internal structure of this hidden metal barrier also adopts a sandwich design similar to a Simmons mattress.

Two 5 mm thick [iron block] cut sheets are used to encapsulate the spring, and then a highly elastic polymer such as rubber is injected into the hollow layer, resulting in a new type of barrier that combines high strength and cushioning performance.

Although this 5-meter-high metal barrier is a bit expensive in terms of cost, the quoted price reaches 15,000 yuan per meter.

Building a 10-kilometer-long city circuit would cost more than 1 billion just for the cost of this barrier, not to mention the paving and construction costs of the track.

Even if an ordinary small county wants to build this kind of street circuit, it may not be able to afford such a large amount of extra expenditure.

Only a super-rich man like Chen Jue, in order to create something different from the monotonous ancient towns for his hometown, and to create some different high-tech infrastructure, is willing to pay this 'unnecessary money' in the eyes of outsiders.

Of course, in addition to the hidden lifting barrier embedded in the ground designed by Wang Zhiyuan.

The 10-kilometer street circuit planned in Rui County also plans to put in several black technologies from the Magic Cube Group's R\u0026D department.

Including the MC [asphalt] filled road surface, whose durability can theoretically reach '∞', and which will not be crushed even if a hundred-ton king, who is feared in the municipal engineering field, runs back and forth on it.

There is also a '0.01 mm ultra-thin color flexible display screen' that cooperates with the hidden lifting barrier, allowing tourists surrounding the street circuit to observe the actual situation of the racing cars behind the wall with the naked eye (technology obtained after the acquisition of Rouyu Technology).

However, since the construction of the City of Racing has just started, these black technologies for the track surface are still in the debugging process.

At present, the focus of work is mainly concentrated in the mechanical group department where Wang Zhiyuan is located.

As soon as Wang Zhiyuan arrived at the project department and stared at the central sand table for observation, several Magic Cube Group employees in uniform walked in from outside wearing safety helmets.

"Lao Wang, you're amazing! You've quietly completed the barrier plan. Our Mechanical Group 3 has launched a big satellite within the group this time."

"This time, the personnel department probably won't let you be promoted one or two levels."

"Our mechanical department heard that there are currently only three P8 positions at most, and they were all poached from Northwestern Polytechnical University and Shenyang Machine Tool. If Lao Wang is promoted two levels, it will definitely be this (thumbs up)"

"It seems we'll have to call Zhiyuan Wang Gong from now on!"

"Wang Gong, you must treat us if you get promoted!"

Listening to the colleagues' jokes halfway through, Wang Zhiyuan also smiled: "Okay! If I really get promoted, I'll treat everyone to a meal and a fun-filled one-stop shop!"

He felt that his adventurous job hopping to the new unit of Magic Cube Group was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.
