Chapter 663: High-rise building

Meng Tian's importance to the railway is mainly due to the special geographical environment of the theater where he is located. The logistics of land operations basically depend on railway transportation. Compared with horse-drawn carriages and tracked vehicles, the convenience brought by railway transportation is very obvious. A train can easily transport a battalion unit to any location along the railway. A variety of artillery can also be installed on railway trains, and the power of this artillery is sufficient to cover the entire firepower along the line. And in terms of logistics. The amount of materials carried by a train far exceeds that of other means of transportation.

In fact, Qin Army's logistics transportation has begun to rely on the railway network. If you look at the logistics supply line of the Qin Army, you will find it. The Qin Army usually prioritizes the use of railways for centralized transportation of materials, and then extends the road system at the key points of the railway and at various locations along the line. This creates multiple branch roads on one railway, and the railway is at the center of the entire supply. The highway has become a concentrated dissemination place for these supplies. The Qin Army’s logistical supplies already had a strong dependence on the railway. This is very much like the German army in World War I. The German army was able to win all the wars before reunification by relying on a well-developed railway network. The deployment of the German army is done by railway. The Qin Army is also very clear about this. The railway is the central station of the Qin Army's logistics supplies. This is very similar, but the difference is that Qin Jun took the initiative to turn the railway into a blockade. And using this as an extension, actively set up an attack control range around the railway, and then killed the opponent a little bit. In fact, Qin Jun combined the railway and highway systems into a huge network system.

Meng Tian’s report was quickly submitted to the two major military organizations, the Guowei Mansion and the General Staff, and the report was then submitted to Shangwen by the Guowei Mansion for processing. Because this requires government financial appropriation, the National Lieutenant Mansion can approve it. Use funds. But the funding comes from Shangwen. Shangwen has to look at whether or not to approve this amount from an overall perspective.

This report was sent to Shangwen's office by telegram, but Shangwen did not need to see it urgently. The office assistant will not get the documents until the prime minister and civil officer process it. Things happen again everywhere in Qin State. This requires a large number of civil servants to deal with. However, with the expansion of office staff, the original office location of Shangwen has been unable to meet office needs. This requires Qin's prime minister's residence to re-select an office space.

This sum is negotiated with the taxation committee. The main purpose of this money is not for public construction. At present, Qin has 10% of the money that does not need to be managed by the taxation committee. This money is the private income of King Qin. That is, royal money. There is also an additional payment for this sum of money for the construction of the Qin King's Mausoleum. However, considering the actual needs, the Taxation Committee believes that it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the government's office land. Moreover, this money was previously proposed, but temporarily changed its use, mainly for the navy to build large wooden ships. As a result, the Navy disappointed everyone. Naturally, this sum of money has been squandered. Now this sum of money must be allocated.

Now that the payment has been made, it is time to choose what kind of building. Shang Wen only knew that the current number of high-rise buildings in Qin State had reached twelve. Before that, King Qin clearly ordered that high-rise buildings should not be built outside the new city. The main reason is that once a high-rise building is built, the entire Qin Palace can be overlooked. This kind of challenge to the royal family is naturally not allowed.

However, there is no such restriction in the Qin concession area in Xinzheng, South Korea and the surrounding area. The main reason is that the Hanwang Palace is a bit dilapidated. The Queen of Korea naturally can't bear it, so she chose another land outside the Hanwang Palace as the Korean royal family. The dedicated land is different from the wooden structure of the Han Palace. All the buildings adopt modern high-rise buildings. Han Shu built two 20-story high-rise buildings as Xinzheng's landmark buildings in one go. The most important thing is that the two buildings can be hung with lights of various colors on the outside. Moreover, the use of reinforced concrete in high-rise buildings is not only structurally superior to wooden structures, but also due to its original structural form in terms of fireproof materials.

Facing the construction of Xinzheng from South Korea to catch up, Qin is naturally unwilling to lag behind. Since the new urban area cannot be built, Xianyang will find another way to rebuild a new urban area twenty places to the east of the new urban area. This urban area has not yet been named. But here is a concentration of high-rise buildings. Here, Qin will build a 22-story high-rise building. This building is mainly used for commerce, office and hotel. Moreover, it has beautiful scenery and convenient transportation. Xianyang East Railway Station and the highway intersection are less than ten miles away from here. As a result, a large number of hotels and public offices have built high-rise buildings on this piece of land. The most important thing is that there are many undeveloped areas where parking lots can be built. This is very important. The cost of modification and construction is basically one to three, because the construction requires a lot of renovation costs. So the cost of construction is much lower than rebuilding.

The reason why Qin State can build high-rise buildings is supported by many convenient technical inventions and needs. With the development of commercial activities, the original commercial area on the plane can no longer meet its commercial needs. Especially large shopping malls. Office space, as well as hotel services. But the price of commercial land has always been very expensive. The commercial land in the center of a city is much higher than the surrounding area. This has to allow businesses to use high-level land in space.

Qin State built the tallest seven-story building in the new city. To build such a high-rise building, Qin used a tower crane with a non-removable base as a large lifting equipment, mixer, and the use of hollow bricks increased Qin’s experience in building high-rise buildings.

The most important thing is the construction of Xinzheng in South Korea. Xinzheng built a high-rise building with more than ten floors for the first time for Qin's architects and engineers to provide experience in the practice of high-rise buildings. These are important reasons why high-rise buildings can be constructed.

Technical equipment is also supported by pile drivers. This kind of pile driver, which can drive into the underground nearly 80 feet deep, can effectively provide a solid foundation for these high-rise buildings, which are indispensable for high-rise buildings. Of course, the most important thing is the use of reinforced concrete materials. Without these, wooden materials alone cannot support the existence of such a large high-rise building.

The other is the division of urban functions. The city is no longer expanding intensively. But as the city expands, some of its functions are dispersed to form various urban areas. These high-rise buildings built by Qin State are diversifying their original commercial functions. These commercial functions are capable of forming new urban areas.
