Although this sky-high hotel only has fifty floors, it is the tallest building on Tongshen Island.
The surrounding swarm of drones completely enveloped the entire building. In the dark, it looked like a devil's palace shrouded by a swarm of bats.
It can become the tallest building on Tongshen Island because each of its floors has a considerable height.
When you look up, it looks like a magnificent palace. Each floor is nearly twenty meters high, which is extremely astonishing.
To stretch the space on each floor so high and maintain stability and solidity obviously requires special-strength building materials.
But the high-rise hotel in Tartarus easily solved this problem.
"How did you do it?"
Standing in the sightseeing elevator, Russell looked down at the layers of people gradually approaching him, moving away, becoming as small as ants, and then completely disappearing from sight.
He suddenly asked: "One floor is twenty meters high, and a fifty-story building is a full thousand meters high... Even if other buildings are half the height, the upper floors will inevitably collapse. If there is a strong wind,
The top layer may even shake.
"From a material science and engineering perspective, it is very difficult to maintain building safety at this height."
Therefore, the buildings on other Sky Islands still have a standard height of three to four meters per floor. Only Tongshen Island has such extremely high floors... However, although the high-rise buildings in other places are frighteningly high, they are actually the same height.
A kind of giant building - "covered bridges" erected between different high-rise buildings, connecting these buildings to each other. It is like connecting wooden stakes inserted into the ground to form a fence.
But... although the Tartarus high-rise hotel is also connected to other buildings, it is only below the 20th floor. There is a covered bridge every two floors. After all, the first floor of other buildings is about four meters, and the Tartarus high-rise hotel is only 20 floors below.
The first floor of Talos is twenty meters.
"To be precise, the height of the standard building on each floor is 19.8 meters."
On the 44th, it was smooth: "The Taltaros Hotel is built with the most cutting -edge science and technology of consciousness and heavy work.
"The building steel bars use an emerging material called 'guide steel', and the concrete layer is also mixed with special shock-absorbing metal powder. Even if a fighter jet directly bombards a high-rise building, 96% of the shock wave can be resolved.
"Whether it is a hurricane, a bomb detonated internally, or a direct bombardment from mechas and high-level psychics from the outside, all vibrations and impacts generated will be evenly dispersed throughout the entire building by the shock-absorbing metal.
The lower corridor bridge can further disperse it to surrounding buildings. Unless the entire G3 area can be shattered in an instant, we will always remain safe and sound.
"As long as it is not completely shattered in the first place, the conductive steel in the building structure will convert it into electrical energy with high efficiency and store it in the backup energy center underground in the hotel. Even at a height above forty floors, it will never
There will be a slightest shock -even if the machine soldiers hit directly, it will only let it shatter the bone, Taltaros will be unharmed. "
"So powerful?"
Russell was also a little surprised: "Have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"
Somewhat unexpectedly, No. 44 answered calmly.
"Yes, I have seen it. Shortly after Tartarus was built, a rebel force installed a total of forty-six large bombs from the ground floor in an attempt to blast the hotel from the ground floor. But the only thing their bombs damaged was
It was just the door of the room where the bomb was installed. The wall was undamaged, not even scratched. The next door room, which was very close, only felt a very slight vibration.
"I was not No. 44, but No. 6. I was in charge of the sixth floor. One of the bombs was less than five meters away from me in a straight line - I was behind the wall on the other side of the bomb. However,
I'm still surviving.
"This is our Tongshen Island technology, Mr. Qingqing. Whether it is the 'Triple Compass' on Sun Island, the 'Water Circulation City' on Yongquan Island, or the 'Nine-Layer Peach Garden' on Taoyuan Island, they were all completed by Shenzhi Heavy Industry
.Because we have carried out few projects in Xingfu Island, except for the branch office, we only have the giant statue, so it is reasonable for you to feel unfamiliar with our technology and feel hesitant."
I see……
Russell sighed in his heart.
Just like Happy Island only sells "idol trainees" to other islands, Sogo Island will never sell their proud artificial intelligence system, and Holy Blood Island will not sell its best medicine to other islands.
People, Sun Island never shares the ancient knowledge they have with outsiders... Russell has only been on Tongshen Island for a day, and he has already seen many different types, used in various occasions and fields, many from other Sky Islands.
Rarely seen high-strength materials. This is a specialty here.
Tongshen Island has obviously made a huge breakthrough in materials science, but Shenzhi Heavy Industries is unwilling to share the breakthrough technology they hold.
Materials science is the foundation of all things, the forerunner and cornerstone of all scientific and technological progress——
But from another perspective, materials science is also a subject full of metaphysics. The research results of materials science are in three states: "of no use", "I don't know what the use is", and "very useful".
One of them. If other disciplines want to make leap-forward progress, they usually need to obtain the "very useful" SSR-level materials research products that exactly match them as star-promoting materials.
The most important thing is that whether the research results of materials science are useful or useless usually does not depend on the individual's will and efforts. Important materials that lead the development of other technologies across the ages usually come from "a sudden inspiration".
In other words, the research process of materials science is like drawing cards. Unfortunately, this drawing card does not mean that you can get ten consecutive results with just one click. Instead, you need to invest an extremely long time, effort and energy to know what you have drawn.
What——and the drawn card has no attribute introduction, or even
It may not be possible to know immediately what it can be used for. A team led by a sufficiently good researcher can at most reduce the probability of "useless" N cards and slightly speed up the card drawing cycle. It is still impossible to point out where.
Wherever you hit, you can knead out whatever materials you want.
This means that when the research of other companies is stuck at the level of materials science, it is really stuck. No matter how many people are piled up and how much money is given, if the research cannot be done, it means that the research cannot be done.
Because if you can't draw something, you can't draw it. Problems with luck cannot be made up for by "effort" and "perseverance". Just like pulling hard with a constipated expression when drawing a card, it will not make you
What you draw gets better.
At best, it will just get smellier.
The head office on each empty island is engaged in different monopoly industries. What Sanzhi Heavy Industry monopolizes is one of the most profitable businesses...that is, the monopoly of core materials.
The cutting-edge research on other sky islands must be supported by Tongshen Island. From this, they can plunder the resources of other sky islands through interest exchange and obtain "credit points" that can be used by branches on other sky islands.
". Through these credits, they can bribe outstanding talents from other islands and move their systems to their own homes.
It's like "a gift from heaven" or a "gap in the dust".
The credit points of each island cannot be exchanged directly through official channels, and the purchasing power is not completely equal - the so-called "branch offices" are used for this purpose.
By operating locally, you can earn credits that can be used locally, and then obtain materials and talents from the local area. After obtaining the products, you can also sell them locally or transport them back to your home country. If there is any demand in the local area, you can also distribute them through distribution
The company buys it and then ships it back.
Although the employees of the Tongshen Island branch work in the outer islands, their families are in the mainland of Tongshen Island, and they will come back sooner or later. Just like they bought the talents of Tongshen Island from the outer islands, they usually do not need them.
Tongshen Island's local credit points... Since they are in a hurry to ask for money, most of them have family members. And the money their families need, they only need to ask their hometown branch to pay their families with local credit
Just click it.
To put it simply, Tongshen Island’s operating idea is to use materials to block the necks of other empty islands. Then use their money to buy their own talents and systems, and transport the entire thing to the mainland of Tongshen Island to complete the technical aspects.
copy.
This is the reason why Tongshen Island does not establish a theoretical research institution - generally speaking, the birth of applied technology must be later than theoretical research in this field. But what they need is not "new technology" at all, but "
Technology that other air islands already have."
When technical systems from different fields resonate with each other, new technologies will be easily born. This has nothing to do with theoretical research, but a mixture of applied technologies - not invention, but improvement.
Learn from the strengths of many experts, and then integrate them into a comprehensive one - surpassing the real thing as a "fake".
...From this point of view, the core operating ideas of Tongshen Island are very similar to Russell's psychic essence.
If Russell had not listened to his mother and joined the Tianen Group... maybe he would have adapted to the rhythm of Shenzhi Heavy Industry.
But under the premise of that IF line plot, Russell would not feel the depravity and distortion of Tartarus - but would happily accept it.
After all, Russell is originally empty and ever-changing, and is easily influenced by others.
At this moment, Russell was actually a little lucky... Fortunately, he followed his mother's last wish and went to Happy Island.
He once thought that the Happy Islands were crazy and depraved, but looking at it now... they might actually be islands as their name suggests.
