Regarding the cable-stayed bridge, the technical difficulty is very high, and it is impossible for the Ministry of Engineering to complete it. They can only make assumptions and speculations based on the construction methods and experience of past bridge construction.
The same is true for this volume of design drawings. Of course, this is much more professional than Zhao Ran's idea. Many of the detailed designs are unknown to Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran can only draw the appearance of the cable-stayed bridge in his mind.
, it is a conceptual diagram. Among the drawings of the Ministry of Engineering, there are many exploded structure diagrams, accompanied by long lists of data.
Zhao Ran is not a professional in construction, but it can be seen that the Ministry of Industry has tried its best. Moreover, Zhao Ran has always respected the construction methods of this era and always believed that these craftsmen possess the wisdom and skills of ingenuity, so he
Accepted this design drawing.
Zheng Langzhong added: "According to the abbot's request, our Camping and Maintenance Department conducted a field survey in the early stage and prepared to build an experimental bridge on the Jinchuan River to verify the cable-stayed construction method."
As he spoke, Master Lu took out another scroll and spread it out on the stone table. The top was the map of Yingtian Mansion, which marked the trend and location of the Jinchuan River, and the bottom was the bridge site selection.
Master Lu explained that the Jinchuan River originates from the northern foot of Qingliang Mountain, connects to Xuanwu Lake and enters the Yangtze River. The narrowest point in the entire river section is 12 feet, and is generally around 18 feet. This width is beyond the reach of the stone arch bridge, and the construction
Building a pier bridge would seriously affect the traffic of ships, so no bridge has been built on the Jinchuan River.
Zhao Ran suggested that the Ministry of Industry choose a location to build the bridge to verify the cable-stayed construction method. The Department of Construction and Maintenance immediately selected this river, and after inspections in recent months, the bridge site was set at Sajiawan.
The 18-foot river surface is about 70% of the width between the two piers of the Yingtian Yangtze River Bridge, which is of great reference value. Zhao Ran expressed his approval for this site selection.
This is a completely new bridge-building model. The Ministry of Engineering does not have any experience to follow, and can only rely on the craftsmen to explore on their own.
Master Lu took out another list and presented it to Zhao Ran respectfully: "Abbot Zhao, this official will definitely do his best to build the Jinchuan River Bridge, but these materials were calculated by the craftsmen like me, and I still ask the abbot to prepare them."
.”
The first is four fifteen-foot-long fine steel cables. From there, four are needed for every one-foot length, all the way down to five feet. The Camp and Maintenance Department requires that these fine steel cables must be able to carry a thousand
The pull of stone!
Zhao Ran asked them how they came up with the value of one thousand stones. The answer from Master Lu and Zheng Langzhong was that they roughly calculated the number of green bricks and steel keels needed for the Jinchuan River Bridge, and believed that the total weight of the bridge was ten thousand.
Stones go up and down, so each fine steel cable should be able to withstand at least a thousand stones of tension.
This is an empirical algorithm and has no practical significance for Zhao Ran. When refining the steel rope, he had no means to measure whether the tension of the steel rope reached one thousand stones. This value must be put into practical operation.
Convert.
Master Lu continued to introduce the list.
Below are the fine steel keels used in the bridge body, as well as the steel plates laid on the keels. The amount is very large. Master Lu designed to lay 50 thin steel plates two feet long, three feet wide and half an inch thick on the five main keels.
——He didn’t know how Zhao Ran could refine the kind of steel plate he had described, but the Xian family’s methods were beyond his comprehension. He would do whatever Abbot Zhao said.
The total weight of such a steel plate is about 80,000 kilograms. Including the steel cables and keels, the amount of steel used is more than 100,000 kilograms.
Looking at the list, Zhao Ran felt a headache again, but a headache was a headache, and he had to "accept everything".
He had contacted Qi Fu Pavilion before and asked about the steel used by Qi Fu Pavilion to refine magic weapons. Qi Fu Pavilion replied that special effect steel was available and could meet the needs of building a bridge. Therefore, he was ready to place an order now.
Procurement, then said: "You guys start, build the bridge piers and cable towers on both sides of the Jinchuan River according to the drawings, how long will it take to complete?"
Master Lu said: "Three months."
After Wang Zongyi left with Zheng Langzhong and Lu Dajiang from the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Ran packed up and prepared to go to Lushan. Just as he was about to fly to Fuyuanfu Palace and let Zhou Keli and Ling Congyun drive the infinite rosette to pick him up, he saw a white light coming from the horizon.
After coming, they landed straight at Jingyang Tower, and there was the Misty Lily riding on Rong Niang.
Rong Niang smiled and smiled, her whole temperament changed again, her beautiful eyes were filled with light, and she became more and more beautiful.
Zhao Ran was stunned, then turned his wheelchair and came closer: "This beautiful fairy, I immediately admire you at first sight. Can you leave a flying talisman so that you can talk about your life ideals when you have free time?"
Rong Niang pursed her lips and said happily, "I am the Archmage now."
Zhao Ran hurriedly asked: "What kind of thing is the spiritual consciousness entrusted to?"
Rong Niang said: "It's not bad, I just entrusted it with an eighth-level talisman."
Zhao Ran applauded: "It can't be an upgraded version of Yujing Tongtian Mansion, right? By the way, this broken talisman you gave me has been used twice, and it didn't escape each time. I really don't want to use it anymore, but it has been entrusted with my spiritual consciousness.
It’s really impossible. How do you think I can make up for my loss?”
Rong Niang said: "It's simple, I'll just marry you."
Zhao Ran nodded: "I reluctantly accepted it. By the way, you just happened to be here. You always borrow someone else's flying magic weapon, which is very shameful. This time you can catch the cloud lily. Accompany me to go to Lushan Mountain."
Rong Niang pushed Zhao Ran onto the Misty Lily. After the Lily closed, Zhao Ran opened his hands and said, "Help me get off the car."
Unexpectedly, Rong Niang kicked the wheelchair over, and Zhao Ran immediately fell onto the transparent crystal base and said helplessly: "You need to learn more about serving people."
Rong Niang asked: "Learn from Xiao Su?"
Zhao Ran coughed dryly: "It's getting late, let's take off quickly."
The mist lily immediately rose into the sky, and Zhao Ran looked at the bustling streets and alleys of Yingtianfu through the transparent base underneath him, and was lost in thought for a while.
Rong Niang asked: "Why do you want to go to Lushan suddenly? I just came here and you didn't even let me rest for a while."
Zhao Ran said: "You have been resting for several months, and you are still resting? There is no way, time is too tight, I need to refine a lot of materials, I have to go to Qifu Pavilion and ask them to refine a batch of steel plates."
"What steel plate?"
Zhao Ran briefly explained the need to refine the cable stay and the steel keel.
Rong Niang said: "Don't go to Lushan for this matter. It will be a waste of time. The weapon refining workshop in Qifu Pavilion is very busy and has no time to take your job."
Zhao Ran asked: "Where to go?"
Rong Niang said: "I have already passed the test, and you haven't congratulated me yet."
"Come."
"What are you doing? Hey... let go..."
"Give you a hug and congratulate you on your release... Oh, don't punch your stomach!"
After fighting for a while, Yunming Lily came out of Yingtian and headed towards Gezao Mountain. After bypassing Gezao Mountain, it landed among the mountains in Yuanzhou.
Rong Niang introduced: "This is Taixuan Pavilion. Instead of going to Qifu Pavilion, it is better to come to Taixuan Pavilion. Qifu Pavilion refines magical weapons, Taixuan Pavilion refines materials, and Qifu Pavilion refines magical weapons."
Most of the materials come from Taixuan Pavilion."
Zhao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up: "When you said that, I remembered it. Master Yang is the elder of Taixuan Pavilion. Is she your fourth grandma?"
"Grandma Fourth Grandma!"
"about there."
"Okay, I'll call Xiao Cunxin out. If you need anything, you can talk to her. Let's agree first that you can't cheat her!"
