World-class infrastructure maniac

The Wuqueshan Bridge Research Conference will be held in the spacious bridge branch lecture hall.

In the lecture hall, which is far more spacious than any conference room, each seat is equipped with a microphone and the table cards of the participants are placed.

The delegates who were notified came to the scene, and as soon as they met their acquaintances, heated discussions started.

There is no way, who called this the Wuqueshan Bridge project.

They have been together since 12 years ago, discussing the future of the bridge and arguing about it.

Until two years ago, it had no future.

The participants who reunited after a long absence shared the inside information they knew.

"I heard that some kind of winding bridge structure was built this time, to build a bridge around Wuque Mountain?"

"Yes, the Bridge Institute has recruited a newcomer, named Lifeng. The young people's thinking is a bit unusual."

"He designed the cross-river bridge, didn't he? I read the feasibility study report of the cross-river bridge, and the idea is really good."

"I heard that he is still Yin Zhili's student!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the discussion was mixed with countless surprises.

The participants sitting on the side couldn't help leaning over, wanting to hear the exclusive inside story.

"Isn't Yin Zhili an architect? Why did he bring a student who studies bridge design?"

"No, Lufeng didn't study bridge design, he just studied architectural design. Some time ago, Xiao Zhou said that Yin Yiqiao came to accompany him to see Wuque Mountain."

Yin Zhili and Yin Yiqiao's grandfather and grandson are not unknown in the domestic architectural circles.

These engineers have all heard of the Parliament Building, Federal Building, and Royal Museum designed and built by Yin Zhili.

Every report that counts Chinese masters must have Mr. Yin's name and works.

The international community is not as free and inclusive as it advertises.

Chinese people need to have artistic attainments beyond imagination if they want to create freely without any political factors in a capitalist society.

Yin Zhili is such a person.

The buildings he designed hit the soul directly, using cold and hard concrete to create architectural creations with profound connotations.

You don’t even need to add any explanatory text, just look at his works quietly, and you can hear the voice of architecture itself from the depths of your soul.

Even though many engineers and researchers present have not seen his works in person.

But the legendary architect who has been passed down by word of mouth for more than [-] or [-] years has enough weight in their hearts.

And Lifeng is the student of this legendary master.

Even Yin Yiqiao, Yin Zhili's grandson, went to Wuque Mountain together with him...

"It sounds like this..." An Anjing, who listened to the whole process, said, "The winding mountain structure may really be worth a try."

It was just a guess, which immediately aroused the echo of others.

"Of course it's worth a try! Otherwise, is it fun for Wu Yingqi to call us here?"

Even though there is no information in the lecture hall, the participants are already looking forward to the next meeting.

They have experienced too much intertwined process of hope and disappointment.

After the earthquake in Wuque Mountain two years ago, the project began to stagnate. These old employees who have experienced many construction projects can vaguely feel its ending.

Now a "Wuqueshan Bridge Research Conference" brought them back together, like a small flame of hope was ignited.

Even if the possibility of building a Panshan Bridge on Wuque Mountain is slim, they don't mind to accompany the bridge branch to start again.

After all, this is the task of the state and it is of great significance.

No one is willing to put in the effort and face a vigorous and unresolved death.

Therefore, when Li Feng walked into the lecture hall, he could not feel the serious silence that the lecture hall should have at all.

The voices of the chatter were boisterous, and there were a few arguments about the cracks in the earthquake zone.

Wu Yingqi has known this group of people for many years and knows what the situation is now.

He said: "The fact that they can talk like this shows that the Wuqueshan Bridge is still in their hearts. Just wait and see, I will calm them down right away."

Lu Feng found it strange, thinking that Wu Yingqi was going to take the microphone and say "quiet, comrades".

Unexpectedly, Wu Yingqi just greeted the person who was holding today's meeting materials, and urged: "Hurry up and send the materials,"

So, under the perplexed gaze of Li Feng, the staff of the Bridge Branch Institute responsible for distributing meeting materials moved.

They just put the materials on the table in a business-like manner, without any unnecessary greetings or explanations, and the entire noisy and lively lecture hall gradually quieted down.

The atmosphere changed so fast, Li Feng felt extremely surprised.

He is used to the noisy meeting atmosphere when everyone gets together, and this is the first time he has seen such tacit silence.

Those delegates from all over the country did not need to be greeted by the staff at all, so they picked up the materials around them on their own.

If the companion still wanted to chat, he waved his hand and flipped through the heavy typed manuscript in his hand, and the other party, just like him, hurried back to his seat and picked up his own copy.

While the staff was posting, Lufeng and Director Feng were preparing the PPT for the explanation.

The lecture hall, which was noisy just now like countless people arguing, instantly returned to the silence that the meeting should have, only the sound of pages turning.

Li Feng felt incredible.

When he was ready, he looked up again, and saw countless focused gazes coming together.

Construction Group, Engineering College, Research Institute, Survey Institute...

The table cards in front of them were not written with their names, but with the units they represented.

At that moment, Li Feng felt that what he was facing was no longer the hundreds of people in the lecture hall, but the entire group behind the hundreds of people.

They are also all the people involved in the research since the establishment of the Wuqueshan Bridge project.

Lu Feng calmed down, clicked on the long-prepared materials, and said in a calm and restrained voice: "This time, everyone is invited to come to the scene to study together whether the Wuqueshan Bridge can be designed with a winding structure—"

Following his words, the large and clear curtain in the lecture hall projected a concept map of the Panshan Bridge.

In the majestic and continuous Wuque Mountain, there is a silver dragon-like bridge structure, shining brightly under the rendered sunlight.

As soon as the concept map of the Panshan Bridge appeared, Lufeng heard echoes of sighs.

It started to climb from the foot of Wuque Mountain, followed the trend of the mountain, bent into a gentle arc, and then at the most suitable place, it leaped over the fault in the seismic zone and completed the task of the bridge crossing the two banks.

Lu Feng said: "This is just a conceptual idea I made. Starting from the selection of the existing plan for the Wuqueshan Bridge, avoid the peaks and steep slopes of Plan [-], and build viaducts at the sites of Plan [-] and Plan [-] to overcome the damage caused by the earthquake. cracks and faults."

His narration is accompanied by carefully drawn black and white design drawings.

Without the emerald green rendering of Wuque Mountain, the pure black bridge lines express all his thoughts more clearly.

Panshan builds bridges to overcome faults.

The height of the Wuque Mountain bridge was artificially lowered, and the highway that could lead directly to the Tibetan area was built on the bridge, across Wuque Mountain.

It sounds like an idea from the Arabian Nights, but because of the meticulous and detailed design drawings on the curtain, it seems particularly serious.

From the bridge approach highways at both ends of the bridge to the preliminary design of the main girder bridge, Lu Fengde drew it completely.

Even if Wu Yingqi told him that it was not necessary, he just needed to explain his point of view in the conference room and just give him a schematic diagram.

Lifeng is still like a perfectionist, planning them to perfection.

It's a pity that building such an unprecedented bridge cannot be achieved by his beautiful drawings.

Lu Feng said: "This design has great construction difficulties. First, the bridge body must be made of anti-seismic materials to ensure that it will not be affected by the Wuqueshan earthquake zone. Secondly, the winter ice and snow on Wuqueshan Mountain will cause the bridge body to have a low temperature effect. As a result, there are driving risks for the Panshan Bridge. However, we do not have any design experience to guarantee its success."

The difficulties he mentioned were all problems that could not find a solution in the archives of the Bridge Branch.

Li Feng threw them out bluntly, and was mentally prepared, waiting to be questioned and denied by everyone in the audience.

However, the audience was quiet, and the participants were still holding the materials, looking up at the design drawings, and frowning in deep thought.It's impossible for them not to be confused.

but……

They didn't immediately whisper to each other with active thinking, and they didn't interrupt the rhythm abruptly.

Following the detailed Panshan design, Lifeng explained his thoughts page by page.

The people participating in the meeting, even if they made doubtful voices along with his explanation, still maintained the politeness of the meeting until the absurd idea was explained.

Therefore, Lu Feng took the initiative to say: "If you have any questions, you can ask them, and I will answer them in detail."

As soon as the words fell, the representative sitting in the front row of the lecture hall directly raised his hand, "We are applying for the feasibility study of the main bridge."

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, but before he could make a sound, the representative of the Second Construction who was sitting next to the First Construction immediately turned on the microphone, "Wait a minute, we should be responsible for this part!"

Representatives from different branches of the two construction groups started a noisy debate on the main part of the bridge.

The person from the first construction turned over the information in his hand, "You were responsible for plan [-] and plan [-] before, but now the main bridge span of Panshan Bridge is near plan [-] and plan [-]. How could you be in charge?"

Not to be outdone, the people in the second construction directly pointed out the key points, "Because the approach bridge and the main bridge of the Panshan Bridge must ensure the same materials and structures, our second construction technology is more mature, and the research is more experienced than your first construction, we must be responsible!"

The question that should have been answered by him instantly became a direct conflict between the first construction branch and the second construction branch.

The representatives of the first construction and the second construction, after arguing, immediately looked at Lufeng and asked, "Longgong, you are the one who designed this plan. Tell me, who will be in charge of the main body of the bridge?"

Lu Feng had never experienced this kind of "problem" at all, and he rarely looked at Wu Yingqi in surprise.

I saw Wu Yingqi turned on the microphone dumbfounded, and said seriously: "You guys are all brothers in the first construction and the second construction, why are you fighting for work again?"

Yi Jian was not happy, "We are responsible for this, how do you call it robbery?"

The second construction also refused to admit it, "Wuyuan, you said that the structure of the Panshan Bridge is a bridge from the beginning to the end, and our second construction specializes in the construction of approach bridges. Isn't it more appropriate to be in charge of this bridge?"

"Where is it suitable? The Panshan Bridge has a special shape, and the piers of the bridge have to cross the seismic zone. We will know the best about the seismic performance of the steel truss girders of the hollow-tube steel structure once it is built."

Suddenly, a leisurely and old voice joined the battle circle.

"Hey, you two don't have to worry about the earthquake resistance of steel. This is a project of our research institute, and we are responsible for it."

The dispute between the two people joined the third party, and the scope of influence was instantly expanded.

Just now, holding the materials, while listening to the participants competing for the two construction units, they raised their hands and turned on the microphone to express their feelings.

"The research on the seismic resistance of steel materials has more experience in our school's research institute, so I think it should be entrusted to us."

"We have complete construction experience in the cold and frost resistance of bridge decks. Whether it is early construction or post-maintenance, we can directly be responsible for the research of this Panshan Bridge."

"For the site selection of the piers in the Panshan part, our third survey can provide more detailed reference and design the landing points for you."

"No, no, leave it to our First Survey Institute. We have built the Panshan Expressway before, and we are definitely more proficient in finding suitable places for the Panshan Bridge than the people from the Third Survey!"

Before Li Feng could answer their questions in more detail, the group in the audience took advantage of the chaos and took the initiative to grab work!

None of their problems focused on the conception and design of the Panshan Bridge, and all the contention was——

This part should be mine!

Lu Feng has seen too many scenes where the contractors get together and fight with each other.

Each perform their duties and push each other, and once there is something that does not meet the contractor's wishes, they will definitely wave their hands and express their rejection.

But now, the lecture hall is noisy, and the representatives of every unit are trying to use it to express their eagerness to participate in the research with various examples.

It is best to be able to study the main bridge, and it is even better to be able to be responsible for the earthquake resistance of steel structures.

No prevarication, no questioning.

Instead, he tried his best to convince Wu Yingqi and his opponents that he wanted to include a certain part of Panshan Bridge in his scope of work. He didn't mean to take the idea of ​​Lufeng as a joke at all.

His prepared explanations are useless, because this group of people doesn't need any explanations.

They are willing to go all out for an illusory idea, and hope to be in charge of a part of the project ahead of their brothers.

This kind of proactive attitude is something that Lifeng has never experienced before.

One by one in the lecture hall, they seriously told him about the expertise and experience of their own unit, hoping to gain his approval.

It was like a spontaneous self-recommendation, which shocked Li Feng, a guy who returned from studying in a capital country in the UK, beyond shock.

Some of them have white temples and deep wrinkles, and some have thick lenses with unclear expressions. When talking about the contribution that their units can make to the concept of Panshan Bridge, they can easily and unequivocally.

Their age is enough to show how many years of hard work have been put into this project.

Their attitudes simply and straightforwardly expressed the same expectation——

Even if the Panshan Bridge is just a possibility, they are willing to do everything for the "possibility".

Seeing Lu Feng's surprised face, Director Feng smiled and said, "They've always been like this."

From the establishment of the Wuqueshan Bridge project to the suspension of the Wuqueshan Bridge, every time a discussion or report is met, as long as a new problem is thrown, the representatives participating in the meeting will have a debate, defeat all opponents, and put the new problem Research work in the bag.

It's not a job offer, it's not a great success.

Rather, they are full of trust in themselves and want to use their best technology and solid foundation to build this bridge for the country.

The soul, which has been empty and lonely for a long time, feels full in the debates in the lecture hall.

"No wonder..." Listening to their confident words, Lu Feng's eyes flashed with joy, "No wonder we were able to build the Qushuiwan Bridge."

Because in front of such a group of people, no matter how simple the plan given by the National Design Institute is, it is a task and a responsibility.

They will do their best to complete this seemingly incredible challenge.

At the end of a research meeting, the new winding plan of the Wuqueshan Bridge was split up and distributed to various units for further study under the leadership of Wu Yingqi.

And asked them to report to Law Feng regularly.

Lifeng's WeChat has increased by nearly [-] contacts in one day.

Since that day, the phone calls and messages have not stopped.

Professionals do professional things with extraordinary efficiency.

Lufeng can receive their feedback reports every day, and can immediately work overtime to modify the drawings, and make changes to the design drawings of Panshan Bridge according to their research results.

Amid the back and forth communications, the Wuqueshan Bridge project, which had been silent for two years, came back to life.

The five proposals that were once abandoned left the most core engineering technology in the suggestions of each responsible unit, and gradually condensed into a design like a giant dragon in the drawings and modeling of the law wind, becoming a The latest proposal for the Wuqueshan Bridge.

The assiduous study of Lu Feng, who used to be alone, has become a perfect teamwork under the guidance of these experienced seniors.

The anti-seismic solution, the new material of the hollow steel tube, the design details of the bridge support, and the location of the selection of the Panshan Bridge have undergone repeated revisions and discussions.

Finally, there is a complete prototype.

He felt unprecedented relief, and unprecedented pressure.

The time spent on learning before can be communicated with experienced engineers and research institutes, and then in their expectations, under pressure to give a satisfactory design.

Li Feng really got busy.

Yin Yiqiao failed to make a video call with Lufeng for two whole months.

His communication with Lufeng is limited to WeChat communication through the time difference.

Even if he calculates the weekend night and starts a video, he will be hung up by Lifeng directly, and after a few hours, he will receive a simple reply from Lifeng tired——

"work overtime."

The short reply came from three or four in the morning China time.

Yin Yiqiao was wearing comfortable pajamas, sitting at the desk and staring at the mobile phone, but he still couldn't keep calm.

He knew that Lufeng would only stay up until three or four o'clock because of the Wuqueshan Bridge.

But the more he knew, the more he felt that there was a deep ditch in front of them that could not be crossed.

Yin Yiqiao thought, it would be great if human beings could build bridges in their hearts.

He must build a bridge directly to Lufeng's heart to see what Lufeng is busy with.

After struggling and hesitating for several weeks, Yin Yiqiao finally received the news from Lufeng when the time in China was normal.

He said, "Brother, don't worry^_^."

The text was concise, but it was accompanied by a default emoji. Yin Yiqiao immediately sat up from the recliner on the lunch break, and sent a video call after a long absence.

Sure enough, this time the law answered.

Yin Yiqiao looked at the person in the camera worriedly.

He was a little thinner, his cheeks were straight, and his eyes were particularly bright.

His short hair was so long that it covered his eyebrows, so he tied up his slightly longer tail and left a slightly curled hair behind his head.

You can tell how long it's been since you didn't have time to get a haircut.

Yin Yiqiao asked helplessly, "Why are you so busy?"

Hearing this, Lu Feng smiled with crooked brows and eyes, revealing bright white teeth.

"Brother, you don't know, I'm so happy!"

The excitement that couldn't be concealed was evident from his expression and tone.

The way he smiled while holding his mobile phone instantly reminded Yin Yiqiao of the simple and happy rhythm when he was still studying.

Yin Yiqiao immediately realized that the structural design of Lufeng's dragon-like bridge should be completed soon.

There are many things that Li Feng can't say.

But at the other end of the video, he talked about his feelings excitedly.

He said: "I participated in a great cooperation like the Qushuiwan Bridge. I don't know many people, but as long as it is for the Wuqueshan Bridge, each of them can come up with technologies and suggestions for pressing the bottom of the box. Help me revise the blueprint."

"Those experienced engineers can take out things casually, which can make me study for a long time. Brother, I am really happy!"

His expression is as if he has gone through the mountains and rivers of the Long March, and he has seen the end of the victory from afar, and he can't wait to show off his happiness to the world.

Yin Yiqiao, who is far away in England, is happy for him, but also helpless for himself.

When Lifeng was so happy, he could only sit in front of the video and ask, "So, is the Wuqueshan Bridge going to start?"

Lu Feng took a glass of water and said with a smile: "It's not that fast. We have to go through the approval before we study the start time. After all, autumn is coming soon, and Wuque Mountain will be covered with heavy snow in late autumn and early winter. This year will definitely not be able to catch up."

Although it's a pity not to be able to catch up with this year, Li Feng even showed joy in the posture of drinking water.

As long as the approval is passed, it is only a matter of time before Wuqueshan builds the bridge, not a technical problem.

He happily had a long-lost conversation with Yin Yiqiao.

Eschewing the stuff that needs to be kept secret, it details just how majestic a bridge can be.

After the reorganization of the Wuqueshan Bridge project team, countless designers volunteered to join, just like the members of the construction group and research institute that Lufeng had met, full of sincerity and no regrets.

As a result, they were full of energy and worked overtime together. Lufeng wanted to answer Yin Yiqiao's call several times, but they were infected by them and felt ashamed to be lazy.

After talking about these things, Li Feng no longer had the pressure and burden of the past.

He really came to the place he dreamed of and realized his expectations when he just returned to China.

"Moreover, this time our dean didn't stop me from thinking at all, and has always given me the utmost support."

"It's remarkable," he said.

A trace of displeasure rose in Yin Yiqiao's heart, but she just frowned, still staring at Lu Feng silently.

Lufeng put the phone on the opposite side, held the water glass, stared down at the water surface, smiled, and fell into his own thoughts.

It was like seeing a planned future through this glass of clear water.

He said: "The Wuqueshan Bridge will definitely become the highest bridge, the longest bridge and the best bridge in the world."

Indomitable and unstoppable.

The author has something to say: Yin Yiqiao: I have never blocked your thoughts at all, and have always given you the utmost support. Why is it so great to replace him?

Li Feng: Because he is the dean...

Yin Yiqiao: You, bureaucrat.

The key to the success of any project must be: have a good leader...
