1157 1142. New Book Conference (3/5)

Chapter 1157 1142. New Book Conference (35)

"...We have fully considered all the architectural details. On all the wooden frames of the school, metal fastening devices and cable-stayed frame designs will be used at key nodes."

Listening to Bogut's introduction, Wang Bo asked: "The design plan says that the school can withstand earthquakes below magnitude 7?"

Bogut nodded and said: "Yes, all of our design plans are based on the theme of 'safety'. Not only is it resistant to earthquakes, but it is also more resistant to storms and rainstorms. In earthquakes below magnitude 7 and storms below magnitude 9, the house All will be safe and sound.”

His assistant added: "At most, some non-main structures in the room are damaged, such as slight deformation of the door frame, broken glass, cracked tiles, etc. But please believe that it is necessary to provide people with living space and escape routes, etc. The main functional structures, they're all going to be fine."

Wang Bo nodded, and looked at Charlie, Bowen, Hani and others beside him.

Haney asked: "As far as I know, large-scale commercial buildings in New Zealand are all mature prefabricated reinforced concrete structures, which allow large shopping malls, office buildings and other densely populated buildings to have super-strong bearing capacity and good performance. seismic performance."

Bogut nodded: "Yes, that is indeed the case, but this is only a popular architectural model at the moment, and our design drawing is the architectural model that will soon lead."

"Your concern is durability, and I can assure you that a wooden home does not mean that it is easy to break. For a large building like a school, it is not economical to use cement and concrete now."

"I don't know if you understand, sir, if it is a large reinforced concrete building, then a large buffer device is used in the building foundation, for example, the whole building may be 'standing' on rubber pads or large springs to avoid in direct contact with the foundation."

"This design method prevents the entire building from swaying with the ground when the transverse seismic shock wave arrives, avoiding the risk of the main functional structure collapsing."

"Once designed in this way, the cost of construction will be a bit high, and the cost will be doubled at least. Our Baroque style building adopts this style, but the purpose of Mr. Mayor is safety and practicality, so plan A is definitely the most suitable of."

Boggart spoke frankly and confidently.

"Of course, apart from the things described above, the design of earthquake-resistant structures is a precise and systematic science and construction engineering specification. It needs to comprehensively consider many items, which are all introduced in the design plan."

At the end of the two-hour defense, Wang Bo nodded and expressed his willingness to accept the proposal.

Bogut smiled and shook hands with him. The plan alone was worth one million, because it was delivered three days in advance, which was one million three million.

That's not a lot of money, considering that the design firm pays almost out of pocket.

A good design can cost a lot of money, but it can be built for less and more.

The design plan was then faxed to Professor Sandra, Alexander and others. This was a gift from the town to Lincoln University to show their sincerity.

The second batch of books was delivered, this time 100,000 volumes, and another three-story building was filled. Wang Bo also sent relevant photos and materials to these people.

In short, in order to win the branch campus of Lincoln University, Sunset Town did its best.

With the library, Sunset Town really suddenly added a bit of cultural atmosphere.

In the past, people driving on the road were either carrying drinks or food, but now many people, especially the townspeople, carry books when they appear on the road.

They either borrow books or return them, and they read a lot.

In the middle of the day, Hill approached him and said, "Boss, I want to hold a book signing in the library."

Wang Bodao: "Dude, your current influence is naturally unparalleled. You are a very successful writer. But, everyone in the town has bought your book, right?"

He didn't just guess casually. There was a shelf of "Fatal Notes" at the entrance of the library, but not many people borrowed it. It's not that everyone didn't like to read it, but that they had read it or had books at home.

Hill said with a smile: "My purpose is not to sell books, but to promote new books."

Wang Bo asked pleasantly: "The new book is available? What's it called?"

Hill said: "This time it will be a fantasy work. The style is similar to "Lord of the Rings" but different. I named it: "Burning: Blood Like Iron". Of course, this is tentative. There is also a backup. The chosen name is "The Expedition of the Gods."

Wang Bo said: "What about your draft? Come on, let me have a look."

Hill was very satisfied with the expectations he showed. He happily opened his backpack and took out a draft—this time it was not a computer creation, but a handwritten work.

At this time, an employee came to deliver documents to Wang Bo. He looked at the manuscript with a thoughtful expression.

Wang Bo flipped through the manuscript and said, "Hey, buddy, I'm interested just by reading the beginning, I bet it will become popular, and this manuscript will definitely become worth a lot!"

Hill said: "I will dedicate it to our library. Is it okay to use it as the treasure of the town hall?"

Lao Wang said with a little embarrassment: "That guy, let me tell the truth, this library is not permanent, it is to attract Lincoln University to build a branch here, and it will be withdrawn in the future."

Hill was shocked: "Huh?"

Wang Bo coughed and said, "Don't be too surprised. Lincoln University will bring a bigger library. There is no need for its existence. But the library will not be withdrawn soon, and it will be open for at least a year."

The lease agreement is valid for 14 months, and Wang Bo intends to return the books at the end, so that he does not have to pay the large final payment.

Hill is a little frustrated, but he also knows how much money it will cost to buy these books and build this library.

Wang Bo comforted him and said, "This will only happen in the future. Who knows what will happen in the future? Let's prepare for your signing event first, and I will arrange people to promote it."

It just so happened that he had an employee on hand, this person was Miles Walter, and he was Elizabeth's subordinate.

He told him the news that Hill was going to hold a signing event and a salary conference, and asked him and Elizabeth to promote it.

On the second weekend in the middle of the year, the spring was bright and the sun was shining brightly, and Hill's signing event began.

Exceeding Wang Bo's expectation, many people came to the signing event. Most of them were pedestrians and readers from nearby areas such as Aocheng. Hill's influence was extraordinary.

In addition, the star Craig Parker, who has been confirmed to be the leading actor in the New Zealand TV series version of "Fatal Note", also came. He cheered for Hill's platform, which attracted many townspeople.
