Chapter 49 The Big Ship Finally Returned

The Taiwan Academia Sinica may be the first group of people on the island to feel the speed of socialist construction.

Because, in just a few months, they went from commuting on time to being on call.

The leisurely old-age life of capitalism is gone, and they are under high pressure all the time. They are instructed by a group of iron men from the National Design Institute to accelerate their entry into socialism.

Huang Dengquan may notify at seven o'clock in the morning to thoroughly investigate the building construction project that the Island Research Institute is in charge of.

At [-] o'clock, before the information reached the office, it was immediately announced to the news media that the Island Research Institute did not cooperate with the work, and the progress of the inspection of dangerous buildings was seriously hindered.

Or call a meeting at [-] p.m. and ask the Island Research Institute to give a complete explanation of a building with hidden dangers.

The architects of the Island Research Institute did not cooperate, and the meeting immediately turned into a press conference. Huang Dengquan personally stepped onto the podium and told the media: From the perspective of the National Design Institute, there are major problems in this building.

The media has become the biggest weapon of the State Council.

In an area with free press and free reporting, Huang Dengquan almost regarded the reporters in Baodao as his own writers, giving full play to the advantages of capitalism's open scolding and war.

For the first few times, people from the Island Research Institute were lucky enough to hide in the research institute, thinking that mainlanders are all euphemistic and reserved characters who care about face.

As a result, Huang Dengquan acted vigorously and dared to say anything, allowing them to face the anger of public opinion.

Labels such as "Island Research Institute does not cooperate", "Island Research Institute's design has major problems" and "Island Research Institute's culprit" are hard to tear off.

The architects, who were terrified to death, no longer dared to ignore Huang Dengquan, and quickly adapted to the frequency of socialism's day and night struggle.

When they are busy, they even only sleep for two or three hours, just to meet the task requirements issued by the National Council!

Even when I was resting on the weekend, I received news from the State Council.

They could only complain loudly, "Ah! What's going on with Huang Dengquan!", and then hurriedly prepared the materials required by the National Council for future reference.

After all, not working hard is just about making less money.

If the detection is not serious, it may be lost.

Everyone knew that the eyes of the whole world were focused on the Baodao testing project this time, and they were all curious about who would be the mastermind behind everything.

78 bridges and 11 buildings have been charged with crimes. Even if the best lawyers are hired, they will go to jail until they run out of fuel.

Under the strong pressure, even Xia Yingjie, whose heart was full of anger, gradually became numb.

There seemed to be a sharp knife hanging above his head, if he slacked off, his head would fall to the ground, which made him terrified.

The continuous high-intensity review of drawings and self-examination has exhausted him physically and mentally, and he is no longer as arrogant as before.

"Why is there so much media?"

When everyone from the Island Research Institute walked into the office site, they saw reporters sitting behind them carrying equipment and holding computers.

Since the project team of the National Academy of Sciences settled in Baodao, they have seen the media more times than in the previous half of their lives combined.

Obviously, there are no good words to describe Huang Deng in the reports on the Internet, but this group of media, they arrive as soon as they are called, and they flock to each other. They don't see the xenophobia that local news should have at all.

However, they complained and complained, and after taking their seats, they felt relaxed, and the burden behind them finally showed signs of being unloaded.

Because, Yin Zhili is coming.

"Old Mr. Yin is here, we will be much more relaxed."

"He is a gentleman trained in the UK, and he will definitely not be the same as the desperate madman in the mainland."

"I hope he can implement British working hours. I don't want to sleep at night and worry about being called up to work overtime."

The people at the Island Institute thought that Yin Zhili would be their savior.

But they didn't expect that the savior in suits and leather shoes, gray hair, and full of British gentlemanly demeanor, looked at all the cameras and cameras present at the meeting and said——

"Since all the media friends are here, please go to the site with us to do a preliminary survey, which is more intuitive than sitting here and listening to an old man nagging me."

At Yin Zhili's words, the media at the scene suddenly exploded.

They waited to record the verbal confrontation and cynicism present at the scene, to see if the Island Research Institute and the professional architectural firm could have any differences.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Yin just arrived at the scene and failed to start the question and answer communication, so he was about to start work!

The media began to make phone calls on the spot, and the anchors who participated in the official meeting for the first time were also in a hurry.

Mr. Yin walked into the meeting room from outside the venue, followed by three handsome and handsome men, thinking that he was going to a global architectural exchange meeting.

It turned into a field survey!

"Wait, I'm going to debug to see if the camera can go outside!"

"My fans, this is a straight shot of an architect going out to work, you must not go away."

"Let's take a look. CE Architects took over Xinlan Bridge, Linhai Hotel, and Lanhua Building. I don't know which project the old man will choose to start, but I will definitely live broadcast to the end!"

It took only 10 minutes for Lufeng to accompany Yin Zhili into the crowded meeting place, and then he accompanied the teacher back from a long distance.

There are not a few media and live broadcast protagonists chasing them to take pictures along the way.

Such an action-packed move was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

Lu Feng couldn't help asking: "Is this a strategy or is it teacher's whim?"

Yin Zhili showed a bright smile, and before he could answer, Huang Dengquan, who was in the car with them, said, "I asked Mr. Yin."

Huang Dengquan is in his 40s. He is thin and has deep and powerful eyes.

It doesn't look like someone who works in an office, but looks like someone who has been away for a long time for criminal investigation and interrogation, and he is full of vigor.

He said: "The architects of the Island Research Institute are lazy and procrastinate. Every time they are asked to go to the field, they are listless. Mr. Yin's time is so precious, it is a waste of life to talk to them about details, it is better to directly Go to the scene, carry the equipment, ask the Island Research Institute to answer any questions, and if you can’t come back, the islanders will naturally ask the government to explain.”

Li Feng had met him many times on the news, but never met him directly. He was shocked after hearing Huang's strategy.

The meetings in the system piled up like a mountain, and Law Feng was almost used to the slow pace of holding meetings to discuss everything, and then went to the fast pace of hands-on.

Unexpectedly, this Huang Yuan is as amazing in action as in expression.

The purpose of calling the media is to allow journalists to accompany the Lucky Island Research Institute to witness together what is called the courage that Chinese people should have.

As a result, the Island Research Institute returned to fear.

The media people excitedly carried the camera to broadcast the breaking news.

There is no longer any misunderstanding and language differences in the footage of Taiwan media, mainland media, and network anchors.

Only the busy architects of CE Architects were arranging testing instruments in the magnificent Linhai Hotel.

The testing work they had been waiting for for a long time was finally carried out smoothly under the leadership of the State Council.

There is no time for a show, let alone a chance to collude with a good international architect.

Various tripod cameras were set up inside and outside the Linhai Hotel.

The architects who will never miss the ce focus on adjusting the instruments and testing every movement of the building's value.

Even the islanders who watched the live broadcast were eager to move, and even wanted to drive to the scene to see how the professionals from CE investigated this hidden danger building.

The instruments they couldn't understand were displayed, and the elderly gentleman came out, still accompanied by the familiar juniors.

Yin Zhili ignored the surrounding media, and stood directly in front of the level, roughly measuring the angle of the restaurant.

"There may be a problem with the foundation of this building." He whispered, moving away from the equipment in front of him, "Look."

Without even thinking about it, Li Feng obeyed the teacher's words and checked the tilt angle of the restaurant.

According to the design drawing given by the Island Research Institute, due to the topography of the Linhai Hotel, the foundation has been filled and stabilized.

However, judging from the level data he measured now, the slope of the building has deviated from the design standard.

"The foundation is unstable, and the wall is tilted." Lufeng looked at the model of the level, adjusted the value, and looked at the target again. "There is a problem with the load-bearing on the left side, which may have something to do with the big crown on its head."

Li Feng left the spirit level and whispered to the teacher, "The crown draws the wind, and the wind load becomes stronger, which exceeds the designer's estimated structural force. This crown is also the culprit for the tilt of the hotel."

After Yin Zhili listened, he nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes. You didn't miss your homework."

A field test was regarded by Yin Zhili as a good classroom for students.

Even though Lufeng has long since ceased to be engaged in architectural design, he has graduated from Yin Zhili for many years, and he still obediently obeys the teacher's instructions, setting up instruments and following the teacher to survey the site.

Qu Fei was dressed in a suit and followed the old gentleman, feeling extremely strange.

He thought that the work of the old man should be taken over by Yin Yiqiao from Sun Chengye's business, but Yin Yiqiao stood beside him as a follower, and instead let Yin Zhili test his teaching style.

"Hey, Senior Brother Yin, aren't you going to help?"

Yin Yiqiao suddenly had another junior brother, and he was not very enthusiastic, "There is a little wind."

It means that there is no need to help, there is a law.

Qu Fei rubbed his smooth chin, "Longgong is a bridge designer. Is this to review the knowledge of architecture and consolidate old skills?"

After finishing speaking, he found that Yin Yiqiao was looking at him with deep eyes.

"...Am I not right?" Qu Fei reflected on his words, a little afraid of the silent Yin Yiqiao.

The young architect, who looked benign and harmless, frightened him when his eyes fixed on him.

Yin Yiqiao quickly turned his eyes away and said, "Lufeng is the best architect, but he chose the bridge."

A "just" almost knocked Qu Fei out of his wits.

Sure enough, Lu Feng was different in Senior Brother Yin's eyes.

There are no architectural works, but he can still be rated as the best architect by his seniors.

The well-dressed Qu Fei suddenly felt that the two generations of this school were an impeccable combination.

Mutual trust and harmony.

The construction of bridges goes hand in hand, and even the pace of walking back to the architects of the Uneasy Island Research Institute after putting away the equipment, reveals the confidence that others do not have.

Seeing Yin Zhili's return, the people from the Island Research Institute cheered up immediately.

Although the dream of rest is shattered, professional architects will definitely return their innocence!

"Mr. Yin, there must be no problems with our Linhai Hotel."

"Our Island Research Institute is also a century-old institute, and has a good record of exchanges and learning with the British Independent School of Architecture."

"From design to construction supervision, we all follow British standards. You are a professional British Royal Architect, and you will certainly not be like the mainlanders, talking nonsense about our problems."

Every word of the Island Research Institute is more like a begging threat.

They brought in the exchange relationship between the Island Research Institute and the British Independent School of Architecture, hoping that Yin Zhili could show some face.

Yin Zhili has always been very face-saving.

The Linhai Hotel is not a design problem, but a negligence in actual use.

The unique crown shape has become the feature of Linhai Hotel, and it has also become the reason for its dangerous building.

"There is nothing wrong with the design."

With Yin Zhili's words, everyone patted their chests and rejoiced as if they were released from prison.

"However, I wonder who the designer is?"

Amidst the cheers, the haggard Xia Yingjie's withered eyes lit up, and he rushed from the back row to the front.

"It's me!" Xia Yingjie learned that there was no problem with the design, and immediately entered the state of asking for credit and showing off, "Mr. Yin, my name is Xia Yingjie, and I am a special employee of the Island Research Institute. I have also designed the Xinlan Bridge and the Gaojin Tunnel. For the Asian Outstanding Architect Award, there can be no problem with the design I made."

No one could stop his exuberant boasting.

After all, this is the old Mr. Yin Zhili. With his praise and approval, he might be promoted to CE Architecture Firm and never have to contact rude people from mainland China again!

Yin Zhili looked at Xia Yingjie silently. From his bloodshot eyes, pale face, rough skin, and messy hair, he could also feel the slump that couldn't be covered by his clothes.

These Baodao architects, I am afraid that because of this test, they have not been able to sleep for a long time.

It is also time to let a big rock fall to the ground and give a decisive ending.

Who knows, Yin Zhili asked him, "The crown you designed is very beautiful, have you done wind load analysis?"

"Of course!" Xia Yingjie was beaming, "It's built by the sea, and I have fully calculated the horizontal and vertical load-bearing capacity."

Before Xia Yingjie could show off his excellent calculation ability.

Yin Zhili asked again: "You have done calculations in the horizontal and vertical directions, but the crown shape has a 45° intersection angle, which blocks the horizontal and horizontal wind. Have you done the calculation of the wind load at the most unfavorable angle?"

His calm tone is very similar to the teacher's questioning in class.

Before many of the surrounding media heard the mystery of these considerations, Xia Yingjie suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Xia Yingjie's eyes were protruding, his tongue was dry, and he asked, "Mr. Yin, could it be that such a small crown will affect the hotel?"

His tone was full of disbelief, and there was a hint of sophistry.

"It's a pity that you are so young." Yin Zhili shook his head regretfully.

Before Xia Yingjie could understand what he meant, he heard him raise his voice slightly.

"Huangyuan, the detailed problems of Linhai Hotel need further inspection by our architect before we can give a detailed report."

Yin Zhili's words were meant for Huang Dengquan, and even more so for the media present.

He said: "Architect Xia Yingjie made no problems with the design drawings, but he did not consider that the increased wind load of the crown molding affected the bearing capacity of the wall. Moreover, as an architect, he did not find out the problem in time and correct the design error. bear the corresponding responsibility."

"Fortunately, it hasn't turned into a catastrophe."

It only takes Yin Zhili a few words to go from heaven to hell.

Xia Yingjie stood where he was, still immersed in the joy of waiting for compliments, but he didn't expect to hear these words.

He opened his mouth, but still didn't defend himself.

The surrounding media rushed forward like lunatics, and the flash shots made him feel extremely dazzling.

"Mr. Yin, do you mean that Linhai Hotel has a major safety hazard?"

"According to your statement, what exactly is the problem with this hotel?"

"Does that mean that the problem of this big hotel is serious enough for you to see clearly at a glance?"

There were too many inquiries from the media, Yin Zhili said politely: "The detailed results will be handed over to Dean Huang by our ce. But I am sure that the crown design of Linhai Hotel has enhanced the wind load of this building, causing The wall cannot bear the load, and there is already a certain degree of inclination, which is in danger of collapsing. For specific values ​​and risk assessment, the National Design Institute is requested to issue an official result.”

After speaking, the media and anchors almost went crazy.

This is the first building in Treasure Island's inspection that Yin Zhili judged to collapse, and it is a five-star hotel that Treasure Island is proud of!

Yin Zhili won't talk about the details, but the designer of the Grand Hotel is here, so why bother to chase after the last!

They gathered together and raised their microphones to attack Xia Yingjie.

"Xia Jianzhu, can you explain your purpose of designing the hotel!"

"This hotel was once rated as one of the top ten hotels in Taiwan. May I ask what kind of operation you have done in it?"

"There are hidden dangers in the big hotel. Does it differ from the design that the Island Research Institute has always claimed to be correct? Does it mean that there are also problems with other part-time jobs you designed..."

Xia Yingjie's sudden breakdown was caused by the media's successive questions.

"This design has nothing to do with me! It's Daozi Industrial's request! Mr. Fu, Fu Mei, is the one who designed this design, the crown she wants!"

His defense failed to impress the media, but became another kind of insider revelation.

It won't take long for breaking news to be delivered in the information age.

The audience in front of the live broadcast room saw a group of media swarming into the Linhai Hotel. In less than a minute, the arguments that "the Linhai Hotel is at risk of collapse" and "Island-funded industries are involved" became shocking news inside and outside the island.

The lessons learned from the collapse of Fuyun Bridge are vivid. The famous Linhai Hotel in Baodao is the pride of their crown in Baodao.

Suddenly being sentenced to death, most people were dumbfounded.

Read online news, buy newspapers and magazines.

You can clearly see Xia Yingjie, the proud architect of the Island Research Institute, confessing his friend with a grim expression.

The treasure island sinner is nothing more than that.

However, their ignorance failed to reach its peak.

Under the efficient leadership of the National Design Institute, major domestic construction companies have given the worst results.

Of the 78 bridges, 76 need to be completely rebuilt, and 2 need extensive renovation.

Of the 11 buildings, 4 are at risk of collapse, and the other 7 must be recalculated, strengthened, and rebuilt.

This may be the most efficient and saddest building information in the history of Baodao.

It directly caused the islanders to have a psychological shadow when they went out, suspecting that the bridges they passed, the roads they walked, and the buildings along the street would suddenly collapse like the Fuyun Bridge, implicating themselves as innocent.

The public panicked, but Huang Dengquan calmly went to the press conference to answer reporters' questions.

The media that had received the concise version of the test results one after another, looked at Huang Deng with awe and kindness.

The arrogance of the mainland and the bad words of the person in charge are all trivial matters.

the most important is--

"May I ask what Dean Huang thinks that there is such a big risk in Baodao Construction?"

Huang Dengquan stared at this group of reporters who knew what they were asking, and he didn't have any psychological burden of maintaining peace between the two sides of the strait.

He opened his mouth and said: "The conflict of interests of foreign capital, the disregard of human life by the Baodao government, non-standard architectural design, non-compliant construction operations, and the arrogance of architects..."

He finished talking about everything possible, and then in the eyes of the shocked media, he said politely, "I don't know exactly what's going on. I hope the island representative can give you a reasonable explanation."

As the testing project came to an end, many architects of the Island Research Institute were deeply involved and faced accountability.

The actual person in charge of the island-owned industry that built these dangerous buildings fled to Germany. If you look through the island media, you can find the appalling "wanted criminal" label, and you can't wait to eat the flesh.

Even the management personnel who failed to escape with Daozi Industrial were also summoned for questioning.

A major accident caused by a bridge collapse finally gradually returned to a good direction.

Numerous construction companies and offices that participated in the inspection project have been given new tasks to rebuild Treasure Island.

Yin Zhili has been busy for nearly a month for the project that CE is in charge of, but he has not taken over the reconstruction work of any construction project.

An old man in his 70s, without the busy work on weekends, is undoubtedly burning his life.

The outside world speculated that when he would lead the architects back to the UK to rest, he himself quietly drove to the construction base of the cross-sea bridge in Fuyun County without telling anyone.

When Lifeng found out about this, he was standing on the engineering ship, watching the engineer drill and sample the seabed.

The sea-crossing bridge smoothly walked out of the beach and land and into the turbulent sea.

Bad weather, they have to take advantage of the calm hours to hurry up and work.

He no longer had the leisure he had when he was able to ask for leave before, and spent the whole day with Mr. Weng, drilling a hole a few centimeters deeper for the trestle, with a sad face.

"The rock is too hard to drill." Qu Fei looked at the drilling rig retracted, took the drawing and hooked it up, "Master, why don't we cross this section of the seabed, it took almost three days for it."

In three days, they hurriedly changed the drill bits twice, almost replacing all the sharpest guys in the construction unit.

But the rock is still as stable as Mount Tai, beyond their imagination.

Weng Chengxian pondered for a moment, and immediately vetoed it, "To cross this rocky beach, our bridge deck needs to be extended by three meters, and the risk is relatively high."

He took the walkie-talkie and shouted: "One group, one group, report the drilling situation."

"The depth is 1 meter, the diameter is 4 meters, and the deviation is [-]°."

"Can't get in?" Weng Chengxian asked again.

"If you hit it again, it will be crooked, Boss Weng." After speaking, Team 1 added, "The drill is crooked."

Weng Cheng listened first, raised his hand to check the time, and then reached out to knock on his apprentice, "How long is the typhoon?"

"1 minutes to 10 minutes." Qu Fei checked the forecast given by the Meteorological Bureau, "It will last for two hours."

The blue sea has faint signs of ink smudges.

Ten minutes sounds sufficient. For safety reasons, the engineering operation ship must return to the voyage in advance to prepare for the typhoon.

Weng Chengxian said helplessly: "Go back to the voyage today and make preparations for the typhoon. After we study the follow-up countermeasures, we will continue drilling."

The walkie-talkie was able to quickly broadcast his instructions throughout the construction team.

Li Feng took the walkie-talkie, carried the documents, and went back to the cabin with them.

Hard nuts to crack are not enough to describe the rock formations on the seabed of the South China Sea. The gap between the initial survey and sampling data and the actual construction situation is getting wider and wider.

The horror of nature will always surpass their sophisticated scientific tests.

It was agreed that ordinary steel drill bits can penetrate granite, but when it comes to actually drilling, the steel is scrapped first.

Fortunately, their efforts for three days were not for nothing.

At least, get the question.

Sitting back in the cabin, Weng Chengxian, who usually had a bright smile, turned serious.

"The bottom here is definitely not ordinary granite. I transferred all the alloy drills from Erjian, and it was still crooked."

Lufeng said: "There may be faults in the composition of the granite, and the material at the depth of 1 meter and 2 meters has changed. We will wait for the results of the analysis of the samples we sent to the laboratory, and then solve the symptoms."

As soon as he said that, Weng Cheng remembered first, and looked at him with bright eyes.

"Yes, when did the lab say the results will come out?!"

"...five days." Li Feng didn't say anything else.

The experimenter he just asked answered: the material is relatively complicated, and further detailed analysis may take ten days.

But five days is enough for Weng Cheng to worry.

"Five days." He calculated the construction period. "The Pengzhou Islands will be subject to typhoons and heavy rains every three days. If there is any further delay, the construction of the cross-sea bridge to the tunnel section will definitely take more time... Qu Fei!"

"Eh!"

As soon as the master called, Qu Fei responded.

"Book me a plane ticket, I'm going to the Engineering Research Institute." Weng Cheng first put down the documents in his hand, "We can't just sit here and wait for analysis."

The Engineering Research Institute is responsible for the research on the building materials of the cross-sea bridge.

The original carbon steel alloy bridge base and the hexagonal triangular uprights are all alloy materials provided by this research institute.

Their trip this time must be to cooperate with the research institute to conquer the indestructible granite.

Lu Feng immediately asked Ying to say: "Mr. Weng, I will go with you."

"You just guard the bridge." Weng Chengxian resolutely refused, "Qu Fei will follow me, because I don't trust him to guard the bridge!"

His own disciples are merciless when they are hurt.

Qu Fei was so heartbroken that he got used to it. He took out his mobile phone and started booking air tickets.

In the room, he was troubled by the granite on the seabed, and Li Feng's desire to go to the research institute was also suppressed.

The sea-crossing bridge cannot be empty, the storm has never stopped here, Mr. Weng is gone, and the deputy chief engineer is on top. As a small designer, he has to follow the team and guard every brick on the construction site.

Li Feng thought about it, Mr. Weng and the others went to the research institute, and he could check international papers.

The global ocean is changeable, but there must be many teams that have done similar seabed research.

Therefore, Lu Feng took out his mobile phone and wanted to search for key information on the granite on the seabed.

But found the phone A few hours ago, unexpected news came.

Brother: "Grandpa said that he took over the construction project of the commercial building opposite the Baodao Cross-sea Bridge. [Picture]"

With the picture sent by the news, click on the law and you will see the familiar map.

The Nanhai Tunnel Cross-sea Bridge has planned a large area in Baodao.

And the open space where the people protested was surrounded by Yin Yiqiao, which meant that this was a new project Yin Zhili took over.

In the past, Lufeng looked at this open space repeatedly, hoping that the senior brother could take it down and build a beautiful square.

Unexpectedly, it was the teacher who was so powerful that he was able to persuade the philistine businessman to hand over the construction project to him.

Li Feng had mixed feelings in his heart, and felt extremely pleasantly surprised.

He raised his hand and sent, "What design does the teacher want?"

"Boat." Yin Yiqiao's answer was concise and quick, "A large ship that looked across the sea from the lighthouse and finally returned home."
