Chapter 989 Visiting Shanghai 2

Continuing along the street, they came to the Huangpu River Bridge.

This is a bridge with a span of nearly 700 meters. Although it is not as spectacular as the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, it is still quite spectacular for Cao Xuelin and others who have seen this kind of bridge for the first time.

Tired of walking, they boarded the tram and continued to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

"That's the World Trade Center, it's so tall."

After getting off the car, they saw another iconic building in Shanghai, the World Trade Center.

The two-hundred-and-thirty-meter-tall building stands among other buildings, like a chicken standing out from the crowd.

In this day and age, a building over two hundred meters high is already quite impressive.

The taller the building, the more difficult it is to construct.

When reaching a certain height, there are many aspects that need to be considered, such as earthquake resistance and wind resistance.

The higher you go, the stronger the wind.

Under normal circumstances, if the wind force on the ground is 5 meters per second, then at a height of 200 meters, the wind speed can reach 20 meters per second.

And this is already the standard for gale. Such strong winds can cause minor damage to some houses.

For skyscrapers, the impact is even greater, enough to cause tall buildings to swing in the wind, with the amplitude exceeding one meter. A tall building several hundred meters high is swaying in the wind. It's scary to think about that kind of scene.

However, it is relatively easy to solve this problem for buildings below 250 meters. If it is a building of three to four hundred meters, and the wind force reaches more than 30 meters per second, then how to deal with the impact of wind is a major problem.

Generally speaking, the influence of wind can be reduced to a certain extent through the shape of the building and the design of the structure. On the top of super high-rise buildings, there is usually a 'tuned mass damper' referred to as TMD.

It is a large iron ball placed on the top of a building, weighing hundreds or thousands of tons. When the building swings in the wind, it can move in the opposite direction to reduce the amplitude of this swing.

This knowledge and experience, in the original historical time and space, often required countless bloody lessons to be summarized.

In today's Dahua, these knowledge and experiences are directly provided to those architects by Wu Changqing.

This is equivalent to the fact that the architects in the original historical time and space found the theorems and axioms on their own.

Architects in the current time and space only need to learn the proof process given by Wu Changqing.

The difficulty between the two is vastly different.

This is also the reason why Dahua's construction level develops so fast. They don't need to experience failure, they just need to be honest and build according to standard procedures.

'Ordinary people' like Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang actually don't know how difficult it is to build such a tall building. However, this height was enough to give them a huge shock.

Let them have a feeling that this World Trade Center is awesome.

"This is all trivial. The Oriental Pearl Tower under construction is said to be four hundred meters high. That is the real tall building."

a local said proudly.

He was talking about the Shanghai TV Tower, which is being built to transmit wireless signals.

Dahua has already manufactured many TV sets, and it will only be a few months, or a year or two, before they become popular in big cities like Nanjing and Shanghai.

With television, of course, you also need a TV station that transmits the signal.

The Shanghai TV Tower under construction will reach a record-breaking height of 400 meters, and its signal can cover a surrounding area of ​​80 kilometers.

Tallness is only one characteristic of Shanghai, and another is luxury.

On the shopping street of Golden Avenue, the ground is not made of popular cement, but is paved with cobblestones, giving people a high-end feel.

And the shops on both sides of the street are all showing their style without exception.

There is no future in selling cheap goods on this street, only those luxury goods with huge profits.

As for luxury goods, style is very important.

Commemorative edition, limited edition, unique...

Everything here has these labels on it.

Of course, the quality of these things is also impeccable.

Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang like the things here, but they are short of money.

Their family backgrounds are pretty good, but they are still far from being able to spend wantonly on the Golden Avenue.

“When I came to Shanghai, I realized how poor my family was.”

Li Meiniang laughed at herself.

In Tianjin, her family is also a well-known rich man in the city.

However, when she came to Shanghai, she found that there were too many things that she could not afford.

Shanghai during the day is not the best time to visit, after all, most people need to work during the day.

Shanghai is even more lively at night.

In those bars, there are a large number of people who come to revel.

There is the most explosive non-mainstream music in the bar, which is characterized by lyrics that are nutritious and have no meaning, let alone any values.

This kind of song relies on easy flow and strong melody and rhythm to make people fall into it.

Although it is not mainstream, young people like it very much and it is very popular in bars.

Bars are not a place suitable for girls.

This is the current mainstream consensus in Dahua.

However, there are still many women who can't help but want to find out.

Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang also came to the bar, wanting to experience Shanghai's fashionable culture.

at the bar

Here, the majority are men.

There are a small number of women, most of them are European and American women and Fusang women, and there are fewer local Dahua women.

From the moment they entered the bar, the two of them encountered a series of chats.

And the purpose of these men, without exception, is to sleep with them.

This kind of thing was unimaginable in Dahua in the past, but in Shanghai today, it is happening quietly.

Only this kind of environment can breed this kind of phenomenon.

In the past, it was difficult for women to even go out, and even the slightest contact with a strange man would easily lead to gossip. In that kind of environment, this kind of situation was impossible.

Nowadays, it has become normal for women to go out. Who they meet and what they do when they go out has become a mystery.

In other words, even if something happens, the chance of being discovered is greatly reduced, reducing the severity of the consequences.

Without consequences, courage will naturally grow.

Shanghai will take the lead in this phenomenon, and another reason is that there are many foreign women here.

It is not easy for women from Fusang, Europe, or West Asia to get along in Shanghai.

In order to live in Shanghai, they often need to find a man they can rely on.

And some people take advantage of this and trick them into sleeping with them, which makes them prone to falling out.

Eventually, these people gathered in bars and nightclubs, forming a phenomenon unique to Shanghai.

Cao Xuelin and Li Meiniang would definitely not be used to this kind of custom. They stayed in the bar for a while and then fled the place.
