World-class infrastructure maniac

More than a dozen pairs of eyes in the conference room were shocked by the design diagram displayed by Lufeng.

The design drawing of the cross-river bridge in front of them, with its exquisite structure and neat markings, directly conveyed the designer's thoughts to their hearts.

Perfectly outline the most suitable cross-river bridge in their minds.

Li Feng took the microphone, but after a while, his clear English commentary sounded in the meeting room.

"The cross-river bridge I designed uses an overhead arch bridge structure, the whole body is cast in steel, and the catenary line y=a(ex/a+ex/a)/2 is adopted, and the main arch is in a hyperbolic system..."

Following his explanation, the black and white design drawing was split into countless neat graphics.

He directly abandoned the simplest interpretation of position and length, and gave detailed drawings of the internal design.

Because in the face of an expert like Leant, any pleasantries are superfluous.

However, just as he introduced the past, and before he started talking, Leant raised his finger.

The elegant gesture is like pressing the pause button, waiting for the narrator's inquiry.

Sure enough, Li Feng stopped habitually and waited patiently for the middle-aged gentleman.

Liont nodded with satisfaction, and said aloud: "I remember the double-curved arch bridge, which is a new type of arch bridge created by you in China. Its biggest drawback is its extremely weak earthquake resistance. There is an earthquake zone within a radius of 32 kilometers in the cross-river area. The bridge needs to be able to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 4.8 or above, so I don't think your design is suitable for cross-river bridges."

Li Feng knew that Leant would not follow the routine, let alone wait for him to explain in detail the design idea of ​​the cross-river bridge.

Stephen Leant's name, he had heard of it.

With more than 20 years of practice, he has presided over the design of nearly ten bridges, which are located in famous cities all over the world. Any bridge chosen can become a benchmark in the bridge industry.

Such an excellent expert naturally has his own hobbies.

such as--

I am too lazy to listen to the lengthy narration, and raise objections directly.

Then I said decisively: Inappropriate.

If it were another Party A, Lu Feng would definitely ask them to "listen carefully" and "ask after listening" with a calm expression.

But in his mind, the ardent expectation of Lin Yiqi's father, Boss Lin, emerged.

It is about presenting the facts and reasoning, giving Tenglong and Party A a face.

So, Lufeng put down the laser pointer in his hand very much to save face.

He gave up on explaining the PPT and accepted Leant's direct attack.

"Whether it's suitable or not depends on my design parameters."

The commentary time that should have belonged exclusively to Li Feng turned into a separate conversation between him and Leant.

The design parameters of the law style, together with countless professional vocabulary and terminology, made Lin Yiqi, who was watching the battle beside him, dizzy.

Lin Yiqi majored in English, but after Lufeng gave up explaining, the English he used was full of hyperbolic, load, and yea equations, and the pronunciation of each word was specious, as if he had heard it before, but together it was fundamental Can't understand!

"Chen Gong, what's their situation now?" Lin Yiqi hurriedly asked the experts around him for help.

Chen An's oral English is poor, but her listening is first-rate.

A problem with Leant had been discovered a long time ago, which caused Li Feng to attack him head-on.

Chen An couldn't be more familiar with the young designer's speaking speed and accent.

Isn't this how he usually takes Lifeng to participate in seminars, and Lifeng hates the ignorant Party A?

However, after the Chinese rebuttal was replaced by English, it turned out to be so beautiful and pleasant to hear. I didn't worry about Party A being furious, and I didn't have to worry about them screaming: "Call your boss over here!"

British experts will not afford to lose so much.

Chen An looked at Lufeng with admiration, and said sincerely: "Liont wanted to use the earthquake to provoke, but Lufeng directly told him that the design earthquake load of the cross-river bridge can withstand 4.5 times the magnitude 8 earthquake, and there is also the interaction between self-stress and secondary stress. The hollow structural layer is designed to offset the force on the bridge deck, and the dispersed pressure circulates to become the support of the bridge body. Hehe, I don’t even read the information about the law, just come here casually! It’s amazing!”

Lin Yiqi heard question marks, and he could understand the first few sentences, but he couldn't even understand the Chinese characters after that.

He anxiously stopped Chen An's self-proclaimed flattery, and said, "What kind of strength, I don't understand! Please speak more simply!"

Only then did Chen An realize that his little boss is not a construction professional.

He thought about it and gave the simplest and most practical example.

"Oh, that is to say, the cross-river bridge designed by our law firm can be safe and sound even if there are 4.5 times the magnitude 8 earthquake, 100°C exposure, -25°C freezing, and two 70-ton full-load vehicles driving side by side. Standing firmly on the crossing river, it was unscathed! It is not true of the 4.8-magnitude small earthquake that Leant said!"

Lin Yiqi heard it, the 70-ton cart is racing and drifting?

This is not a racing car, this is a racing tank!

Lin Yiqi immediately understood Chen An's previous praise, and looked at Lu Feng with admiration.

"It turns out that my brother Feng is so powerful, and the British experts must be convinced this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a laugh came from beside him.

The well-informed Tenglong Group engineer said with a teasing expression: "You guys are too naive. I have seen many designs of the Arabian Nights, and few of them can be realized."

The engineer listened to the parameters of the rhythm and admired it, but he still couldn't believe it easily.

The two people from the whole-hearted construction company around me sang together, and actually took the designer's theoretical parameters as the final effect?

He, the real construction engineer, couldn't help but sneered and said, "A small company is a small company. The designer said that he can go to the sky to build a moon base. Do you believe it?"

Lin Qi was furious and would never allow outsiders to criticize the design of Li Feng casually.

He raised his eyebrows and retorted: "None of the great British experts you invited said no, why do you say that? If you want me to say, my brother Feng's design is absolutely fine!"

His voice was out of control.

Li Feng, who was answering Leant's question, was stunned for a moment, and looked slightly to the side.

Lin Yiqi sat in the corner of the meeting room, fighting with the engineers around him, dancing and dancing, as if he was going to throw his fist at the other side.

He was taken aback for a moment, and the parameters of the narration were suddenly interrupted.

A harsh English voice rang out, "Designer, what you said is just a theory."

Li Feng withdrew his attention, only to see Leant shaking his head.

He looked extremely helpless, as if he strongly disagreed with the design parameters mentioned by Lufeng.

Leant said: "Young people like you, when doing such a bridge design, completely rely on some laboratory experience they have learned, and have never practiced it themselves."

"China's technology can't realize the ideal project you mentioned."

The contempt for Chinese technology in his tone clearly passed into Lu Feng's heart.

Lu Feng frowned slightly, and an indescribable anger rose in his heart.

China's 4000-year glorious civilization, accompanied by various architectural relics, continues to this day.

The shadow of bridges exists in pavilions, pavilions, courtyards and waterside pavilions, and even more in poems, songs and historical records.

Those inherited bridge-building technologies are still in the various super bridge projects built in China, continuing their brilliance for 4000 years.

And the arrogance in Leant's words comes from his pride as a British.

But in front of Lifeng, such pride is like a frog at the bottom of a well judging the noise of the world outside the well.

Lu Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Lyant, your distrust of China's bridge technology is revealed in your words. Then, can the UK also build the Qushuiwan Bridge built by China?"

Lynn's expression cracked for a moment.

He was silent for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Qushuiwan Bridge?"

This world-famous bridge has become famous in recent years because of the difficulty of construction and the magic of Chinese patented technology.

However, because the technology it uses does not have wide applicability at all, Leant quickly forgot its name after marveling.

"Oh, it really can't."

He replied seriously, "But young man, you have to believe that I don't mean to belittle Chinese technology. Because the cross-river bridge you designed is completely different from the Qushuiwan Bridge."

Lyant's smile is full of tolerance for young people, "China can use the power of the whole country to build a Qushuiwan Bridge. But you can't build a cross-river bridge in a mere 7000 million bridge project."

Li Feng never thought of continuing to be polite to Leant, he tapped the mouse with his fingers, and quickly switched the design drawing that had been static on the screen for a long time.

"In China, nothing is impossible."

In the last part of the PPT he explained, there is a majestic and majestic red bridge hidden.

As soon as the figure of Qushuiwan Bridge appeared, it reflected the screen in a flame-like color.

Lufeng said: "Because the cross-river bridge I designed is exactly the triangular steel support structure of the Qushuiwan Bridge."

There was an uproar all around, and the engineer, who had been watching from the other side, leisurely watched Leant torture Li Feng.

Suddenly, the triangular steel support of the Qushuiwan Bridge attracted attention.

"The Qushuiwan Bridge is a construction project that has troubled the country for nine years. Japan once offered a price of 30 billion, saying that it could provide us with reference suggestions, but our construction engineers were not allowed to participate in the core design discussion. So under such circumstances, The chief engineer Weng Chengxian led the team, together with the National Institute of Bridge Engineering, it took seven years to build the Qushuiwan Bridge with the innovative construction method of triangular steel supports."

"It adopts a triangular steel support structure, which makes its main arch light and strong. It is the only super-large composite steel arch bridge across the river with a cost of less than 15 billion in the world."

Those who do bridge engineering in China may not have heard of triangular steel support structures.

It is the greatest creation of Chinese bridges in recent years. It perfectly supports the giant dragon of Qushuiwan Bridge, and completes the bridge problems all over the world at a very low cost.

It's easy for Lu Feng to speak, and everyone who does engineering understands it.

The triangular steel support structure, apart from the Qushuiwan Bridge, has never been used in other bridges. The original design cannot be restored by a casual construction company.

Even the National Bridge Design Institute is still seriously studying the universal applicability of triangular steel supports.

If the cross-river bridge of Lufeng can be born with such a structure.

I am afraid that the next iconic representative bridge project will be on the crossing river!

However, compared to the excitement of the engineers around him, Leonte seemed extraordinarily calm.

"you are too naive."

He suddenly spoke out, his tone full of disappointment, "Every bridge cannot be generalized. The flow rate of the river, the carrying capacity of the channel, and even the soil structure and weathering of the bridge foundation will lead to different bridges on the same river. obvious difference."

Leant tapped the table with his fingertips, his eyes narrowed slightly, "I think before you become a designer, you should visit the location of the bridge and the specific differences between the location of the bridge and the location of the bridge you refer to, and then let your imagination run wild. "

Hearing the words, Li Feng glanced lightly.

"Then, I would also suggest that Mr. Leant, before becoming a project consultant expert, learn to listen carefully to the designer's explanation, and then ask your own meaningless questions."

Regardless of the boss's instructing, Lufeng resumed his usual attitude of attending the meeting.

The words used suddenly became sharp, and the tone was very impolite.

Leant was used to his calm and calm tone, and couldn't adapt to his tit-for-tat for a while.

With just that one sentence, Leant obviously felt the change in style.

In the past, there was no competition with the world, and soldiers came to block the water and cover it with earth.

Now, even silence is fraught with aggression.

He stared at Li Feng without saying a word, turned off the explanation PPT, and couldn't help feeling a little suspicious...

Could it be that Lufeng wants to pack up his things and leave immediately, expressing his highest dissatisfaction with silent protest?

As soon as he thought of it, the light of the projector flickered, and a new document appeared on the screen.

At the top of the first page, it is written in black and white on a black background——

"Feasibility Study on Adopting Triangular Steel Support of Qushuiwan Bridge for Crossing the River Bridge"

Lifeng pulls down the report and displays the detailed charts on the screen.

"Will you watch it? Mr. Leant, this is a survey and study based on all the data from the ten years before and after the completion of the Qushuiwan Bridge, comparing the cross-river bridge horizontally."

His tone was no longer as polite as before, and his eyes revealed the last trace of patience towards the unreasonable criticizing Party A.

Liante had no time to care about Li Feng's tone, he quickly scanned the content of the demonstration experiment in pure English on the screen, without any dyslexia at all.

What surprised him was the experimental chart displayed by Lifeng, which was impeccably professional.

He was surprised: "Where did you get this feasibility study report?"

Li Feng said lightly, "I did it myself."

"It's impossible!" Leant's tone was full of disbelief, "To do such a feasibility study, at least three months of on-site research by a professional team is required. The project of Crossing the River Bridge was only called for bidding last month. Before, you had no time to prepare!"

"Because I didn't do the analysis report for the cross-river bridge."

Lufeng said: "Three years ago, the Qushuiwan Bridge was just completed, and I conducted a detailed study. Since then, the triangular steel support design is the best choice for a light arch bridge in my mind."

His eyes scanned every graph and every word on the analysis report.

Three years ago, when Lufeng first heard that the Qushuiwan Bridge was completed, he was so excited that he tossed and turned and stayed up all night.

After a seven-hour time difference, I went to see domestic reports on the bridge.

China's first, the world's first!

Even in the early hours of the morning in a distant country, he could feel the same excitement and pride in the news broadcast.

His interest in the Qushuiwan Bridge gradually spread.

Out of control, I searched out the paper materials of the Qushuiwan Bridge, and conducted a comprehensive research and analysis on the triangular steel support structure.

As long as he saw the crimson figure of the Qushuiwan Bridge, it was as if he could see countless vehicles loaded with goods, driving to various parts of the motherland at the fastest speed and the most convenient route.

"It can be said that the Cross-River Bridge did not come first, but I have always wanted to design a bridge with triangular steel supports. It just so happens that it is the Cross-River Bridge."

Leant's calm expression finally showed signs of chapping.

He said in disbelief: "The bridge over the river is just a small project of 7000 million yuan!"

Li Feng replied calmly: "But for me, it is a good project worthy of serious research and putting into practice."

Ryan was absent-minded for a moment, and soon frowned, and raised his hand to press his temple in annoyance.

"you you……"

His thoughts became confused in the feasibility study report, and he finally found a suitable description.

"You are such an unreasonable designer."

He shouted hoarsely, full of condemnation, "All you have done, you can win a large-scale bridge project worth [-] million yuan, even if you use it to bid for Japan's Linjiang Island Bridge, it is better than the French design!

"You're wasting your time on such a small bridge!"

Facing the expert's anger, Li Feng said, "Mr. Leant, even you can't build the cross-river bridge with a budget of 7000 million yuan. Then, isn't this small project more worthy of my efforts?"

In one sentence, Leant was left speechless.

When Tenglong Group handed over the various data and requirements of the cross-river bridge, he estimated that the minimum construction cost of the cross-river bridge was 2000 million based on his years of experience.

7000 million, to build a cross-river bridge, Lyont asked himself that he could not do it while ensuring the quality.

With a solemn expression, he stared at the page of report data on the screen. After a quick glance, he immediately stood up and walked to Li Feng's side.

"Let me take another look."

Lyant refused to believe, "There must be something wrong here."

Countless eyes in the meeting room focused on Leonte.

The expert took the mouse, frowned, and looked at the report data page by page in detail.

Those detailed and accurate charts are displayed on the screen along with Leonte's reading progress.

The people of Tenglong Group raised their heads and focused on analyzing the data in this report.

"This is impossible... how is this possible..."

"What kind of god is it that one person can actually complete such a report?"

The engineer who had just sneered and talked with Lin just now, his eyes were wide open, and he came over in surprise and asked: "Boss, do your lawyers design like this?"

Lin Yiqi snorted softly, couldn't help being proud and proud, "It depends on the project. My brother Feng doesn't like the project, hundreds of millions are too lazy to draw a picture. It is because he likes crossing the river bridge that he has prepared so comprehensively. "

"Such a personality?" The engineer no longer understands contemporary young people, "Your Brother Feng is really amazing!"

The chanting in the audience was accompanied by Leant's careful review.

As time passed by, the thirty-page report and the comparative data of each chart were slapped hard on his haughty face.

His original purpose was to make Lufeng realize the reality, and not blindly reduce the cost of the bridge to cater to Party A's unreasonable demands.

but now……

He is the ignorant and unreasonable Party A.

After reading the report, Leant seemed to have watched the vicissitudes of life of the construction projects of the Yuejiang Bridge and the Qushuiwan Bridge.

Holding the mouse tightly, he turned his head to look at Lifeng carefully.

This young man looked very much like an architectural assistant or a college student, but his ability to move, design, and analyze data far surpassed the young people that Lyante was familiar with.

Liont threw away the mouse unceremoniously, and let out a sulking breath from between his teeth.

When he came down, Meng Xiaofei asked cautiously, "Mr. Lyant, do we need to print out that report and discuss it in detail?"

"Ha, is there anything else to discuss?"

Leant raised his finger and pointed at the screen with a playful smile, "Did you see it? All the problems have been solved in this feasibility study report. Oh, yes, of course I recommend you to print it out."

"Because it is used as a reference, if your company is still unable to complete a cross-river bridge at a cost of 7000 million, then you have to consider whether it is raising a bunch of waste, or internal corruption!"

Meng Xiaofei was dumbfounded when he said this.

The surrounding engineers were also shocked by the report produced by Lifeng.

There has never been a designer who has provided a practical research report to justify his own design.

Most of them expounded their creativity, talked about the standard bridge structure, exaggerated the same shape, and then left the fate of the bridge to Party A to decide.

And the young man from the Whole Heart Construction Company fought with Lente just to prove——

There should be such a bridge across the river!

It should only be the bridge he designed!

Liant looked directly at Lufeng from a distance, and said with emotion: "I was invited to come to China to teach bridge engineering, but I didn't expect you to teach me a lesson instead."

Li Feng shook his head, "It's not me who taught you this lesson, but the bridge built in China."

Leant laughed out loud, and his eyes fell on the projection behind Lifeng.

The steel bridge across Qushui Bay is covered with Chinese-style bright red, overlooking the clear and rushing river toweringly.

It is more thrilling than the Yuejiang Bridge, and more expensive than the Yuejiang Bridge.

However, in the hands of Lu Feng, the cross-river bridge was condensed into one-tenth of its length, and at a cost of 7000 million, it reached the limit of the bridge's lifespan.

He can fully imagine how many similar bridges will appear in this magical oriental land after the success of the cross-river bridge, relying on the triangular steel support design, replacing other time-consuming and labor-intensive bridges with lower cost and shorter construction time bridge class.

then……

Become another new type of bridge built in China, spanning valleys and rivers outside of China.

Leant showed a self-deprecating smile for his own imagination.

"Yes." He nodded, "Qushuiwan Bridge and Yuejiang Bridge are really good teachers."

He tidied the edge of his collar slowly before looking directly at the always calm young man in front of him again.

"Lyfeng." Leant's accent was not as weird as a foreigner's pronunciation of a Chinese name, as if he had pronounced the name many times.

Even though he was completely shocked, he still maintained the pride of the British gentleman, but gave the utmost recognition.

"We'll have a good chat after the River Crossing Bridge is built as you wish."

If you are replaced by other newcomers, you should be ecstatic to be recognized by experts.

But Lufeng didn't look excited at all, watched him turn and leave, and didn't even make any extra movements to ask for contact information.

Meng Xiaofei glared at Lifeng angrily, feeling that the other party didn't know good from bad.

If he hadn't come up with some design drawings and feasibility study reports, Liante would definitely be willing to cooperate with Tenglong Group instead of leaving in anger!

He resolutely chased after him, and angrily said: "Mr. Liant, don't be angry, this designer is too arrogant and ignorant!"

Meng Xiaofei's condemnation made Leant startled.

He looked at the conscientious translator in disbelief, frowned and said: "Mr. Meng, I found that you not only don't understand bridges, but also don't understand how amazing things Lufeng does. A bridge like Qushuiwan Bridge Even I am full of admiration for the construction technology, I thought you would at least be proud of your country after listening to Rifeng's explanation, but..."

But he didn't notice Meng Xiaofei's proud expression at all, instead he was ashamed of what Lufeng did? !

Leant's tone was full of doubts, and he couldn't understand it.

"Aren't you Chinese?"

"Eh... er, this..." Meng Xiaofei blushed at what he said, and was about to defend himself, but found that Leant had gone straight out.

"Mr. Lyant, Mr. Lyant, I'll see you off."

He caught up with Leant, and was about to send the great expert out like a dog.

But before they reached the door, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open roughly.

With a sound of "Bang!", the door slammed into the buffer at the back, shaking everyone to look at the entrance of the conference room.

As far as the line of sight was concerned, a group of people who did not fit in with the atmosphere walked in.

They wore washed-out T-shirts, jackets, and the dusty clothes you usually see on construction sites.

Such a group of people definitely has nothing to do with the "elegance and dignity" that Meng Xiaofei demands.

The security guard was still trying to stop them, "You can't go in!"

But the person who broke in didn't care, pushed the security guard away, looked around the room in anger, and shouted: "Which one is Mr. Ye!"

Ye Hui, who was sitting in the corner of the meeting room, was full of doubts, but he still stood up and replied nicely: "I am."

He walked over, just in time to meet the assistant who rushed in.

The assistant explained in a low voice: "These people are boatmen crossing the river. We have already called 110. Mr. Ye, you don't need to pay attention to them."

"No need." Ye Hui waved his hand and walked straight to the boatman.

The assistant was stunned for a moment, and really couldn't understand whether "no" meant that he didn't need to call the police, or he didn't need to stop him from ignoring the boatmen.

Ye Hui walked up to the boatmen a few steps, and asked in a calm voice, "Everyone, come here, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter? Huh!" The leading boatman glared at him, his tone extremely rude.

"Who allowed you to build a bridge across the river?!"
