The technological empire begins with polymer materials

Returning to China from Antarctica, Gao Yuan announced in public that he would build an unprecedented bridge in the Qiongzhou Strait to connect Hainan to the mainland.

"It's just a bridge, how else do you want to be unprecedented?"

"There are only so many types of bridges in the world, including cable-stayed bridges, steel frame bridges, and arch bridges. Boss Gao is exaggerating."

"That is, with China's poor engineering quality, it would be good to ensure that it will not be destroyed by typhoons."

"Isn't it an unprecedented case of poor quality?"

"You are bragging and not paying taxes, just wait for the Kunlun Group to explode on the spot!"

As soon as Gao Yuan finished speaking, he was immediately ruthlessly ridiculed by Western netizens. It was not that they doubted the ability of the infrastructure maniacs, but more that they had objections to Gao Yuan's wording. They did not believe that a cross-sea bridge could reach an unprecedented level.

Gao Yuan said seriously: "The length of the Qiongzhou Strait is only eighteen kilometers. From the perspective of modern engineering, it is not an insurmountable distance."

"As for economic issues, the Hong Kong-Macao-Zhuhai Bridge has cost more than 130 billion to build, let alone building a bridge for our own brother Hainan? We should not be afraid of spending money to improve Hainan's traffic conditions."

"As an aside, I actually don't like the Hong Kong-Macao-Zhuhai Bridge. Its existence is meaningless. Changing it to the Shenzhen-Macao-Zhuhai Bridge is almost the same."

"Forget it, let's not talk about those bastards, let's talk about reality."

"The actual situation in the Qiongzhou Strait is very bad. It is only 18 kilometers away, but it spans three earthquake zones. Ever since meteorological data became available, typhoons have been blowing every year. These unstable factors have caused the Hainan Bridge to be delayed in starting construction. important reason."

"In a huge project like this, safety must undoubtedly be given top priority, but unfortunately, no matter whether it is a tunnel or a bridge, no construction company or designer can guarantee the safety of the project."

"However, this situation has changed this year, because we at Kunlun Technology can do things that others cannot do!"

“The following is a short video to introduce our design plan to you!”

Huh~

Following Gao Yuan's order, a short video began to play in the live broadcast room. The camera was located high in the sky and shot downwards. Workers were inspecting huge semicircular pipes in the concrete square.

These pipes use Kunlun Dark Star technology. A single section is fifty meters long and can accommodate eight cars passing side by side. The pipes have elastic locking structures on the front and rear. They seem to be an improved version of Kunlun Infinite and Kunlun Silver Frost technology. They are strong and yet durable. elasticity.

It is worth noting that some workers in this huge square are wearing Atomic Ant No. 1 mechanical exoskeletons. With the help of powerful mechanical force, their work efficiency has been greatly improved, and they are completing the giant semicircle at an unimaginable speed. Pipeline construction work.

The screen flickered for a moment, transitioning from live shooting to a three-dimensional demonstration animation.

In the animation, one section after another of semi-circular pipes are quickly connected in series through the locking structures at the front and rear ends, like Lego blocks, and then sunk to the seabed by an engineering ship.

The bottom of the pipeline has an anchor-like gripping structure that quickly grasps the seabed after sinking to prevent the pipeline from moving with the sea currents.

Subsequently, workers wearing submersible mechanical exoskeletons also went into the sea to work, using giant engineering rivets to fix the pipeline for the second time.

Due to the elastic structure of the front and rear sections of each section of the pipe, there is still room for movement after the pipe is fixed. When an earthquake or other disaster occurs, the pipe can stretch elastically to ensure that it will not break.

The camera zooms in, all the way into the pipe.

Only then did the audience discover that the pipeline actually had two layers. Workers would regularly patrol the mezzanine. Even if the first layer was damaged due to external force, the second layer could still ensure the safety of the pipeline.

The demonstration animation has been played so far, and the most exciting one is the submersible mechanical exoskeleton. Workers put on this device, and powerful spotlights above their heads illuminate the dark seawater like daylight. They patrol along the pipeline every day to prevent risks. Not yet.

At this point, the situation has become very clear. The so-called Qiongzhou Strait Bridge on the plateau is actually a building sunk on the seabed.

"That's too much. You actually call this thing a bridge!?"

"It's obviously an undersea tunnel!"

"It doesn't seem accurate either. After all, the rock formations were not drilled."

"Then how to describe this thing?"

"Whatever, it's over for being awesome!"

"I can't describe my incompetence, I only have one sentence to say, damn!"

"It's so powerful. Have you all seen the underwater mechanical exoskeleton?"

"I saw it, but it's probably just a concept product and hasn't been put into production yet, right?"

"Don't worry, as long as Boss Gao is eyeing something, it will be completed!"

"I believe this!"

"I believe it too!"

The crazy explosion of barrages is a good illustration of everyone's mood. In addition to shock, there is also a high-spirited mood.

No audience questioned such a shocking design, as if everyone believed that since Kunlun Company dared to propose the design, it would be able to complete it.

"Oh my god, I'm so sad. Why don't we have such a good thing?"

"What's the use of acid? With Gao Yuan's character, this kind of technology will definitely not be exported."

"What's the use of the exit? With the plateau elbow turning inward style, it is also used by the little brothers in China first."

"Hahahaha~ I'm laughing so hard. Boss Gao has long said that if you want something from the Kunlun Group, you have to pay more!"

"Oh, no one cares about these broken pipes. We built the Channel Tunnel!"

"That's right, we can dig tunnels without these pipes!"

"Hey, the cost of sinking a pipe into the seabed is different from that of digging an undersea tunnel."

"The time is also different. The undersea bridge on the Qiongzhou Strait seems to be completed soon. The tunnel will take at least ten or twenty years."

In the blink of an eye, the short video ended and the camera returned to the beach in Haikou.

Gao Yuan smiled, pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "Look, that's where the Qiongzhou Undersea Bridge will pass in the future."

"I know that some people will question, with the popularization of flying car technology, will it be necessary to build so many roads and bridges in the future? Can't it just fly directly in the air?"

"As for this problem, first of all, no matter how small a flying car is, it is a high-speed aircraft that can pose a huge threat to people and buildings on the ground at any time. Therefore, unless all risks are eliminated, flying cars will only exist as an auxiliary transportation. And it is highly controlled by the state apparatus and will not be open to ordinary people."

"For a long time to come, we will still be dominated by cars, so the construction of various bridges and highways is still very necessary."

"Furthermore, the undersea bridge technology is also an undersea transportation technology. In the future, we will inevitably use it for seabed mining and base construction. It is a necessary front-end technology for future super projects."

"Okay, today's live broadcast should end here. In this live broadcast, we have not introduced any new technologies. They are all practical applications of past technologies. This is also in line with the corporate culture of our Kunlun Group. Scientific research is very important. Compared with What’s more important about scientific research is using technology to change our lives.”

"According to the plan, the construction period of Qiongzhou Strait will be twelve months. If nothing happens, we will come here again in a year to witness our dream become a reality."

"In addition, I would like to announce that on April 1st, we will have a live broadcast of new product launches. We will launch epoch-making new technologies! Everyone is welcome to tune in."

“That’s it for this live broadcast, see you all!”

After that, the plateau disappeared from the camera, leaving only the sun and beach in the picture.

"Twelve months?"

"The construction period of the Qiongzhou Strait Undersea Bridge is only twelve months!?"

“Incredible efficiency!”

"You're just kidding, we infrastructure geeks and the Kunlun Group will get great results."

"I just want to know one thing right now. When will the undersea bridge be used to connect that broken island?"
