Chapter 242 The Designer's Vision
Wei Kang finished speaking in one breath, his mouth was dry from exhaustion.
Lu Mingyi winked at the staff next to Dali, and whispered, "Go to my office and bring some bottles of mineral water."
In fact, the employee was listening intently, but the boss ordered that even if he didn't want to, he could only run errands.
Lu Mingyi knew that Wei Kang would never joke, let alone joke about such things, if he said so, it must be true.
What Lu Mingyi valued was not the original Egyptian cat, but Zhang Zian's ability to get the original Egyptian cat. This shows that Zhang Zian is probably not just a pet shop manager, but also has connections and channels abroad like him. people. Some of his rare birds were brought in from abroad through underground means.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhang, I was reckless just now, and those who don't know are not to blame." Having figured this out, Lu Mingyi felt that people should not be judged by appearances, and took the initiative to reach out his hand.
"Where, Boss Lu is serious." Zhang Zian shook hands with him, and gestured to Guo Dongyue beside him, "This is a famous architect in this city, Guo Dongyue."
"Hello, Mr. Guo, I've heard of you for a long time." Lu Mingyi had never heard of Guo Dongyue, so he politely extended his hand to him.
Guo Dongyue did not intend to shake hands, but pointed upwards at the connection between the glass dome and the stainless steel frame, and said: "There is a problem with the stress structure there. If it is not rectified in advance, it may collapse when encountering strong winds."
Lu Mingyi was startled when he heard that, and opened his mouth to look at what Guo Dongyue was pointing at, but he couldn't find any problems with his eyesight.
"Mr. Guo, are you joking? My aviary was designed by a famous design institute in China." Lu Mingyi was dubious, and most of them were skeptical. Can someone really spot flaws in a building just by looking at it?
Guo Dongyue said thoughtfully: "This design can cope with normal strong winds. However, the person who designed the aviary for you did not consider that there may be typhoons passing through Binhai City in summer-although it does not happen every year. If you go to the city The Meteorological Observatory checks the records of typhoons over the years, and it can be seen that there will be one every three to five years on average. Even if the typhoon does not pass directly above your place, as long as it touches the side, the building is likely to collapse."
He strolled to the side of a wall, reached out and patted several different positions, as if he was feeling the thickness of the wall.
"I observed it outside. Your birdhouse is almost completely sealed, and it uses a pure aluminum alloy frame. It looks good, but it's too light. If I'm not mistaken, the designer has a good understanding of the wind load. The calculation may be wrong, the wind vibration coefficient is too small, and only the basic wind pressure is considered in the calculation - the so-called basic wind pressure,
The standard in our country is the average wind speed within 10 minutes, and the designer may have ignored the instantaneous wind pressure when the typhoon pulsation effect occurs. "
Guo Dongyue spoke a lot of technical terms that no one present could understand, then bent his knuckles and tapped the aluminum alloy pillar, and observed carefully from the side for a while.
"The designer probably pays too much attention to the appearance. A large number of rivets and snap-fit connections are used in these brackets. This kind of structure is weak in wind resistance. It is best to change it to self-tapping screws. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't change it, it's nothing more than gambling. It's just a gamble on the chance of the typhoon passing through."
"The terrain around here is flat. If a typhoon comes, there is no support, and the windward area of the building is too large..." Guo Dongyue shook his head disapprovingly. I have done some research in a similar all-glass greenhouse, and I almost made a similar mistake at the time, so please don’t worry about it.”
Lu Mingyi couldn't understand what he heard. He looked up at the glass dome, and felt a little dizzy for a moment, as if he felt that a typhoon would blow in the next moment, and the entire Fengming Aviary would collapse in the violent air vortex.
He walked over quickly, regardless of Guo Dongyue's willingness or not, he forcibly held his hand and shook it vigorously, "Mr. Guo, forgive me for my ignorance, I was so negligent just now, please give me your advice!"
He wasn't sure if Guo Dongyue's words were true, but as a businessman, he was careful to make the Wannian Ship, if Guo Dongyue's words were true, it would be too late for him to take the medicine to regret it.
"Come, come, you two, please come inside and come to my office." Lu Mingyi enthusiastically invited them to go inside.
"Can cats be brought in?" Zhang Zian asked.
Lu Mingyi blushed and said with a chuckle: "Mr. Zhang, don't embarrass me. If you leave your cat outside and lose it, I won't be able to bear the blame."
Zhang Zian just made a small joke, waved his hand and refused: "No need, I appreciate your kindness, but we are really here to buy parrots today, come and sit when we have time later."
Lu Mingyi thought they were angry at their neglect just now, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and said, "What parrot would you like, please? Please pick whatever you want, and I'll give it to you, as if we're making friends."
Zhang Zian felt very sorry when he heard this, because today Guo Dongyue came to pick the parrot, not himself. If he picked the parrot by himself, he must pick the most expensive one and bring it back... In short, I feel like I missed 100 million! He knew that Lu Mingyi mainly wanted to make friends with Guo Dongyue, so he asked Guo Dongyue to help correct the defects of this building, and he just took advantage of it.
On the other hand, Wei Kang didn't care whether the building was defective or whether it would collapse. He just wanted to take hundreds of photos of Fina, and then take some genetic samples back to the laboratory. Of course Zhang Zian couldn't agree, he pretended to be stupid in front of Wei Kang, just not letting him get close to Fei Na. Xue Shizi was alert. From Zhang Zian's attitude towards Wei Kang, he realized that Wei Kang might be detrimental to His Majesty Fei Na, so he rushed over to threaten Wei Kang.
Guo Dongyue was worried about his mother, so he didn't have time to entangle Lu Mingyi too much here. He just told him succinctly: "It is not difficult to enhance the wind resistance of the building, even without changing the building itself."
"Oh? I would like to hear more about it!" Lu Mingyi said in surprise. He was uncertain at first, whether what Guo Dongyue said was true, or if it was just alarmist talk, and second, whether the rectification would mean a major operation on the entire building, which would be costly, laborious and time-consuming, which would be too traumatic... If It can easily enhance the wind resistance, so why not do it?
"It's very simple. The so-called building is nothing more than adapting measures to local conditions. The remedy is very simple-you have a lot of open space around here, just build some beautiful and practical windbreaks around it, and replace the low shrubs with pines and cypresses. Of course, The direction of the windbreak wall is a bit particular, you can consult the original designer about this, and it should be considered as after-sales service.”
After hearing this, Lu Mingyi couldn't help being enlightened.
