"Where should we go after seeing this skyscraper? We can't just stare at it all day, can we?" a minister asked casually.
"I know there is a restaurant with a good reputation in Yangqu County. Would you like to try it?" suggested another minister.
"Let's stay here tonight and take the train back tomorrow morning. Zhou Zhiwei is not here today, we will go to discuss it with him later." Another minister added.
It seemed that none of their topics really focused on the skyscraper.
Lin Xiaofeng followed them and shook his head secretly. These old stubborn people didn't take the skyscraper I carefully prepared seriously at all. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would open your eyes and amaze you later!
As they moved forward, the surrounding population gradually became less and less. In order to welcome this visit, the surrounding people had been evacuated in advance, and the roads along the way were cleaned up without a trace of clutter.
When they were still a few hundred meters away from the skyscraper, the ministers' voices involuntarily lowered. Their eyes were attracted by the glittering and strange building in front of them.
When they actually walked to the bottom of the building, everyone was silent. The building, which originally looked inconspicuous from a few hundred meters away, showed a shocking size up close. It was 48 meters high and had a total of 16 floors. It stood majestically like an insurmountable mountain.
The base of the building is built with dark stones, which form a sharp contrast with the glass windows and gray bricks above. On the narrow walls between the windows, some classical auspicious patterns are carved, adding a touch of ancient charm to this modern building.
The bottom of the building is surrounded by a circle of green ponds, and the reflection of the building is reflected on the water, which is magnificent.
The only regret is that there is a huge black hole on the 13th and 14th floors, which destroys the overall beauty. However, when the sun shines obliquely on the building, the sparkling glass curtain wall looks like a huge lake standing in the air, which is breathtaking.
Someone exclaimed: "How much does it cost to have so many large crystals?" Lin Xiaofeng just smiled and said nothing. This is the shocking effect he wanted.
When they were standing completely downstairs, everyone looked up and exclaimed in admiration. Lin Xiaofeng walked forward and asked loudly, "What do you think of this skyscraper? Does it feel new to you?"
When he asked this, everyone reacted immediately and blurted out words of praise. Someone said: "My Lord, you are too modest! This is simply breathtaking!" Someone else exclaimed: "This building is majestic and magnificent! I would like to call it the best building in the world!" Bai Yongyuan also murmured: "It really lives up to the name of skyscraper..."
Emperor Jingjiang also took a few deep breaths and looked around. His eyes suddenly locked onto a spiritual fortress erected in front of the building, on which were engraved the words "Fei Liu Building". He couldn't help but blurt it out, and then asked curiously: "My Lord, why is this building named Fei Liu Building?"
Lin Xiaofeng explained: "The so-called skyscraper refers specifically to this type of building. Feiliu is the real name of this building." He paused and continued: "As for why it is named Feiliu, I think everyone will see it soon. Please wait for a moment."
After saying that, he waved to Wang Yingchao. Wang Yingchao immediately ran into the building. Lin Xiaofeng spread his arms and shouted, "Please follow me and retreat! You will soon witness a miracle!"
The crowd followed him and retreated several dozen steps, but their eyes never left the towering building. They were curious about what the inside of the building would look like. The outside was so shocking, what would the scene inside be like?
When the sun was blazing, just as the Emperor Jingjiang and his ministers were feeling a little hot and were waiting with their hands under the sunshade, a faint sound reached everyone's ears. Just as the Emperor Jingjiang was about to ask a question, a cry of surprise came from behind!
"Water is coming out! Look!" someone shouted. Everyone turned their eyes to the thirteenth floor of the building, and saw a stream of water gushing out of the long black hole! Then the second stream, the third stream... until the entire black hole was filled with water! A spectacular waterfall gushed out from the building, forming a gorgeous rainbow in the sun.
Exclamations rang out in the crowd one after another. Some people exclaimed: "Waterfall! How can a waterfall be generated out of thin air in this building? It's amazing!" Others shouted: "Auspicious! This is definitely an auspicious sign!" Li Dexian also shouted: "Old Lin! How did you do this!" Only Emperor Jingjiang did not speak. He covered his chest, his heart pounding, as if he was about to suffocate. He thought Lin Xiaofeng would do something wonderful, but he didn't expect him to create a miracle! The previous playing with fire was already amazing, and now playing with water is even more jaw-dropping. This is almost the power of ghosts and gods! The huge water flow from the upper floor kept falling, hitting the pond at the bottom of the building fiercely. And the water in the pond was being pumped frantically... The splashing water drifted far away, sprinkling on everyone's body and bringing a burst of coolness. Bai Yongyuan's heart was suddenly surrounded by a huge touch. He felt the impulse and passion of an old tree sprouting new buds throbbing in his heart. This scene was so shocking! So amazing! It was hard for a man of his age to be shaken by anything. But facing this scene, he could hardly remain calm and composed, especially when the officials around him were all full of poetic sentiment, inspiration, and couldn't help but chant! The chanting of poems became one, and each chanted their own poems and words. Bai Yongyuan couldn't help but chanted with a trembling voice and emotion: "Flow..." However, at this moment, an extremely discordant voice chanted loudly: "The waterfall falls three thousand feet straight down, and it seems that the Milky Way falls from the sky~~" "..." The chanting of poems disappeared instantly! The old faces of the officials all collapsed, and the next moment countless pairs of resentful eyes shot at Lin Xiaofeng... This inappropriate voice obviously broke their original poetic and romantic feelings, and everyone fell into an awkward silence.
At that prominent banquet, an arrogant official looked at Lin Xiaofeng provocatively and said dissatisfiedly: "You are the only one who is prominent, right? You can die if you talk later?" His face was full of disdain, as if every word of Lin Xiaofeng made him feel bored.
Lin Xiaofeng just smiled calmly and didn't respond. He knew in his heart that these people were just jealous of his talent. He looked at the provocative official and thought to himself: "You can't even write a complete poem, and you throw out half a sentence at a time. You are simply a poet eunuch."
At this moment, the atmosphere of the banquet was broken by Lin Xiaofeng's poem. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to continue. A chubby official complained with a bitter face: "Everyone is in high spirits, and you blurted out this half sentence. How can others recite it? They can't recite it! Reciting it again will bring shame upon themselves..."
However, Emperor Jingjiang admired Lin Xiaofeng even more. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng with a sharp gaze, as if he saw infinite talent and potential in him. He secretly praised in his heart: "Beautiful sentences come out of his mouth, and his poetry talent surpasses all officials! It's a pity that although his level is high, he can't change this problem of only half of it..."
At this time, the waterfall in the building was still gushing out, spectacular and shocking. However, after the rhythm of reciting poems was disrupted, everyone had to turn their eyes to this rare wonder, trying to find a trace of inspiration in it.
Suddenly, Li Dexian shouted, "I know! Pump, there is a pumping unit upstairs, right?" His face was full of excitement and pride, as if he had solved a big mystery.
Lin Xiaofeng nodded in appreciation and said in a clear voice: "Your Highness is smart. There is a water pumping unit modified from a steam engine on the thirteenth floor of the building. The waterfall upstairs just now was pumped from the pond downstairs to the upper floor and then released."
The officials suddenly understood, but they felt lost. The mysterious and romantic waterfall seemed to have lost its soul once the principle behind it was revealed. They looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them, but felt a sense of loss in their hearts.
Lin Xiaofeng saw the clues, but he was not surprised. He knew people's psychology very well. Once you know something too well, the mystery will disappear and it will lose its appeal. He sighed in his heart: "Distance creates beauty, there is nothing wrong with that."
However, Lin Xiaofeng did not intend to let the banquet go silent. He looked around and suddenly asked, "So, what is the purpose of this waterfall outside the building?"
This question immediately aroused everyone's interest, and pragmatists began to ask questions. Obviously, it was not a simple matter to move the pumping unit to the 13th floor, and there must be a deeper mystery behind it.
Someone speculated: "Is there any need to ask this? The building is surrounded by ponds and has a waterfall on top. It is said that water brings wealth and fortune. This building has an unprecedented feng shui layout and is extremely good."
"Yes, the steam engine is also driven by water. Using water to regulate water is a great way to add wealth to wealth. But in my opinion, the surrounding trees seem a little sparse..." another official added.
Everyone started to discuss it lively. Emperor Jingjiang also asked curiously, "Xiaofeng, what is the purpose of this waterfall? Is there really a mystery of Feng Shui hidden in it?"
Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly and shook his head, "Ah, it only serves as a landscape."
Emperor Jingjiang and all the officials were stunned, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. They didn't expect Lin Xiaofeng's answer to be so simple and direct, and they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, Lin Xiaofeng's next words cheered them up again.
"Although this waterfall has no special effect in feng shui, it adds a unique charm and vitality to the building. Moreover, it can attract tourists to come and watch, bringing more popularity and wealth to the building," explained Lin Xiaofeng.
Emperor Jingjiang nodded and agreed with Lin Xiaofeng's explanation. All officials also agreed and began to praise the design and concept of the building.
As the flow of the waterfall gradually decreased, Lin Xiaofeng stretched out his right hand and invited with a smile: "Now please follow me, everyone, let's go to the interior of the building for a tour."
The large group followed Lin Xiaofeng's footsteps and gradually walked towards the entrance of the building. At this time, Emperor Jingjiang slowed down his pace, looked at the gate and asked: "Xiaofeng, this door..."
"It's called a revolving door." Lin Xiaofeng smiled and explained, "When you enter, push open one of the glass doors and the whole thing will automatically rotate. This type of door is not only beautiful in appearance, but also can prevent wind backflow."
After that, Lin Xiaofeng led Emperor Jingjiang into the hall first. Seeing this, the officials behind him began to murmur again, full of curiosity and admiration for this novel building.
As soon as you enter, you will feel a sense of sudden enlightenment. The hall is very high, and there are glass windows all around, so there is no darkness during the day. There are also many decorative green plants and landscapes around, and goldfish swimming in the water, adding vitality to the whole hall.
Emperor Jingjiang looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "This place is more beautiful than the palace..."
"These are all decorations designed by your son specially for your father." Lin Xiaofeng responded quickly, "The top floor is reserved for you!"
When he heard that there was a layer of his own, Emperor Jingjiang's face immediately lit up with joy. He patted Lin Xiaofeng on the shoulder and praised him repeatedly: "You are filial... You are filial."
Then, Lin Xiaofeng led everyone to the elevator. When the elevator door slowly opened, everyone was shocked by the scene before them - a modern elevator appeared in front of them, which was completely different from what they usually saw.
As the elevator went up, the view outside the window gradually appeared in front of everyone. When they reached the top floor, a spacious and luxurious office came into view. The decoration and layout here were full of modern sense, making people feel as if they were in a brand new era.
Emperor Jingjiang walked around the office with a satisfied smile on his face. He asked Lin Xiaofeng about the details and functions of the office from time to time, and Lin Xiaofeng patiently answered them one by one.
In this modern office, Emperor Jingjiang seemed to see the dawn of a new era. He knew that this building and Lin Xiaofeng's talent would bring great changes and development opportunities to the country.
At the same time, in the square outside the building, people stopped to look at this strange and spectacular building. They talked a lot and praised the design and concept of the building. They looked forward to the building bringing them more surprises and changes.
At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng was standing in front of the window overlooking the scenery of the entire city with his heart full of lofty ambitions. He knew that he was standing at the junction of two great eras and would witness the rise and development of a new era.
Shaking his head, Lin Xiaofeng shook off those chaotic thoughts, took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm. He stood at the end of the wide corridor and said to the officials behind him in a loud voice: "Everyone follow me and line up to enter. The place in front is relatively narrow. Please go upstairs in an orderly manner and listen to my arrangements."
All the officials agreed in unison, and their voices echoed in the corridor, like an invisible force, inspiring everyone's heart. They followed Lin Xiaofeng and walked forward. Their footsteps were in unison, like playing a march, showing their unity and determination.
After walking a few steps, they came to a mysterious place. This was a strange space hidden deep in the prosperous palace, as if it was the entrance to another world. Emperor Jingjiang stood still, looking around, with curiosity and surprise flashing in his eyes.
There were two doors on each side of this space, standing quietly, as if waiting for something. These doors were made of iron, exuding a cold and solid aura. Behind each door stood a woman in a strange uniform, quietly guarding like a guardian angel.
Lin Xiaofeng walked up to Emperor Jingjiang and explained, "Your Majesty, let's go upstairs from here." He pointed at the iron doors, with a mysterious light flashing in his eyes.
Emperor Jingjiang asked in confusion: "How do I get upstairs here? Where is the staircase?" He looked around but could not find any trace of the staircase. Lin Xiaofeng pointed to where the woman in uniform was and said mysteriously: "This is the 'staircase'." A meaningful smile appeared on his face, as if he was revealing a huge secret.
"Oh?" Emperor Jingjiang raised his eyebrows, his curiosity was completely aroused.
"You'll know once you go in." Lin Xiaofeng said, and walked to the iron door and pushed it hard. The iron door immediately folded and was put aside, as if a mysterious passage had been opened.
Then, Lin Xiaofeng shouted in a very servile manner: "Everyone wait here, let His Majesty go first! Someone will pick you up later! And people from Yangqu County, come here!" His voice echoed in the corridor, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
Wang Yingchao and Zhou Zhiwei walked out of the crowd, their faces full of anticipation and curiosity. Lin Xiaofeng pointed to the space at the door and explained to Emperor Jingjiang: "Your Majesty, this is called an elevator. Take the elevator and you can go directly to the top floor."
"Elevator!?" Emperor Jingjiang was a little confused. He had heard of stairs, wooden ladders, and bamboo ladders, but this "elevator" was a completely new term. He could understand the word "ladder", but when the word "electricity" was added, he was completely confused.
"Your Majesty, please come in and come up first so I can explain." Lin Xiaofeng invited with a smile.
Emperor Jingjiang did not hesitate and took Li Dexian into the elevator. Behind them were the women in uniforms, who were silently waiting, as if they were the guardians of this mysterious space.
After Zhou Zhiwei and Wang Yingchao entered the elevator, Lin Xiaofeng entered last and closed the iron door. From the appearance, this elevator was an ancient cage-type elevator that was only used on construction sites in later generations. However, its interior decoration was very gorgeous, all decorated with precious wood carvings. The upper three sides used huge glass mirrors as back panels, making the originally small space look much more spacious.
Emperor Jingjiang looked around and noticed that there was a panel in front of the uniformed woman with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 516 written on it. This meant that it represented the first to sixteenth floors.
Without waiting for Emperor Jingjiang to ask, Li Dexian frowned and asked first: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a modified elevator from the factory, right? But why is it called an elevator? And what are the uses of these numbers in front?" His tone was full of confusion and curiosity.
Lin Xiaofeng admired him in his heart. The prince was indeed a good candidate for scientific research. He saw through the essence at a glance. At present, this cage elevator was indeed modified from the factory elevator, and the steam unit was set up on the top floor. It was just that it was quite imperfect now. Today, in order to show it to the leaders, the semi-finished product was pulled out. Except for the one for the 16th floor, the other elevator buttons were just decorations.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, to be honest, this elevator is indeed a modified version of the factory elevator. The reason it is called an elevator is because it uses electricity," Lin Xiaofeng explained.
"Lightning can also be used by humans?" Emperor Jingjiang was completely confused. Today's series of eye-opening things made it difficult for him to accept. Now Lin Xiaofeng told him that electricity could also be used by humans, which was really beyond his understanding.
"Yes, electricity can also be used. And scientists at North Corridor University have already figured out how to generate electricity." Lin Xiaofeng nodded affirmatively.
He pointed to the button and explained calmly: "After pressing the button here, the people upstairs will receive a message to start the elevator and take us up. The process is transmitted by electricity." Although his explanation was simple and clear, it shocked Emperor Jingjiang and Li Dexian. They couldn't imagine that such a magical power could be used by people and create such a wonderful device.
Emperor Jingjiang said bitterly that he didn't understand at all, but he could feel the impact and changes brought by this new technology. Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng comforted him, "This is a little complicated, Your Majesty, don't think too much. Let's go up first, and I will give you the detailed information later, and you will understand it at a glance." His voice was gentle and firm, as if telling Emperor Jingjiang that everything was under his control.
It's not that complicated. People at North Corridor University did figure out how to generate electricity, but it's just like a newborn baby. When Lin Xiaofeng found out, he immediately decided to use it on the elevator. Its only function is to simply transmit signals through a wire. And it can only control one floor at the moment.
Lin Xiaofeng decided to apply this "baby technology" to elevators mainly to inspire students at North Corridor University. Electricity is developing slowly. Although Lin Xiaofeng left some inspirations about magnetism generating electricity and electricity generating magnetism, they are too vague after all. Academic progress has its own rules. At present, there is no Tesla-like genius. It is already quite remarkable that the school can generate electric current. If they know that their academic achievements have great value and potential, they will definitely stimulate more talents to develop in depth and devote themselves to research.
Now is the best time to promote the product. Lin Xiaofeng is just like an unscrupulous businessman who uses a PPT to hold a press conference to sell mobile phones. As for the finished product, isn't it time to go on the market? It's not like it can't be used!
Just as Lin Xiaofeng signaled the elevator operator to press the button, Li Dexian said seriously, "Wait a minute! Old Lin, there are many problems with elevators. There are many news reports of elevators falling in factories. Don't you know that? This is the 16th floor." His words made Jingjiang Emperor suddenly break out in a cold sweat, and his neck was stiff as he looked at Lin Xiaofeng. What? This thing can still fall? If it really fell from the 16th floor, wouldn't the person be smashed to pieces?
Lin Xiaofeng explained calmly: "Don't worry, Your Highness. Many issues have been taken into consideration when this building was designed, including fire prevention, lighting, and escape. Among them, the safety of the elevator is of paramount importance. In order to ensure safety, unlike elevators, the elevator has added a new design called a safety clamp. In case the elevator is likely to fall, the safety clamp will hold the elevator firmly and prevent it from falling. What's more, the materials used in it are of the best quality, so you can rest assured about the safety. I will never joke about your majesty's safety." His words made Li Dexian and Emperor Jingjiang breathe a sigh of relief. They smiled at each other, as if they were excited and looking forward to this novel device.
Li Dexian nodded and then fell into deep thought. He trusted what Lao Lin said 100%. Moreover, it was not a problem to realize such a function in engineering. However, he should take time to study the specific structure of this safety clamp.
Emperor Jingjiang also breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand and said, "Okay, Xiaofeng, there is no need to explain any more, just go up first." His words revealed his anticipation and curiosity about this novel device, as if he could not wait to explore the mystery of this elevator.
As the elevator button was gently pressed, the elevator slowly started and began its journey upward. Outside the elevator door, a group of officials stood in a crowd, their eyes closely following the rise of the iron box. When they saw the elevator car rising steadily in front of them, they couldn't help but look at each other and made surprised sounds.
"Hey! What's going on? This iron box can actually move by itself?" an official asked in surprise.
"I thought we had to walk up to this building by ourselves, but I didn't expect there would be such a mechanism. What's the principle behind this?" Another official said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.
"Everyone, please be patient. There's nothing magical about this. I guess it must be based on the principle of a steam engine." An official who seemed to know something about mechanics tried to explain.
In the elevator car, Emperor Jingjiang still looked a little nervous. He stared at the scenes passing by outside the elevator, and his body felt an unprecedented feeling. He had experienced this feeling once before on a hot air balloon, but that was a long time ago. Now, this feeling came to his mind again, and he couldn't help but recall that hot air balloon trip.
Unlike Emperor Jingjiang, who was nervous, Li Dexian looked around with curiosity. Lin Xiaofeng and Wang Yingchao had already experienced the magic of the elevator, so they looked very calm at the moment.
However, the only one who had a strange reaction in the elevator was Zhou Zhiwei. He stared at the elevator operator's buttocks, wondering what was going on in his mind. Lin Xiaofeng caught a glimpse of Zhou Zhiwei's strangeness, and his heart suddenly tightened. He quickly reached out and held him, and said with his lips moving: "Master... Don't think about it, leave some chances for future generations..."
Zhou Zhiwei was about to respond when the elevator gradually stopped. The elevator operator's sweet voice rang out: "We have reached the sixteenth floor." Then, she skillfully opened the elevator door.
When Emperor Jingjiang heard the prompt, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the elevator. The environment in the lobby was a little dim, but when he saw the scene outside the door, his eyes suddenly brightened. Lin Xiaofeng stood in the elevator and said, "Your Majesty, please wait here. I will go and pick up the others." Emperor Jingjiang nodded.
During the ten minutes of waiting, Emperor Jingjiang carefully observed this new environment. Although the decoration of the lobby was not luxurious, it revealed a simple and modern beauty. He imagined himself overlooking the entire city from this height, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.
Soon, all the officials downstairs were sent to the top floor one by one. Their beaming faces showed that they were very impressed with the elevator. With the elevator, they were spared the pain of climbing stairs, and they began to imagine building taller houses in the future and enjoying a wider living space.
When Lin Xiaofeng walked back to the crowd and pushed open the heavy wooden door, dazzling sunlight filled the hallway. After a few seconds, everyone realized that the scenery inside the house was as beautiful as a painting. The red carpet covered the entire interior space and extended to the huge glass window in the distance, connecting with the blue sky. The columnar glass display cabinets were filled with various exquisite utensils, shining brightly.
As soon as Emperor Jingjiang stepped into this spacious and bright room, he was shocked by the scene in front of him! He was overjoyed and carefully observed every corner - from the red carpet to the shiny glass windows to the exquisite utensils arranged in an orderly manner - every place made him feel relaxed and happy! Although the palace is also luxuriously decorated, the height and view cannot be compared with this place! Here he can enjoy the best viewing experience as if the whole world is in sight!
He stepped deeper into the room and felt that the space was unusually wide, much larger than the rooms in the palace, and the layout was more reasonable without so many trivial divisions, making the whole space seem more open. He walked to the large mahogany desk and sat down, feeling the comfort and convenience of this new environment. Looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk and the carefully prepared portrait sketch of the emperor's grandson in his childhood, his heart was deeply moved, and he couldn't help but nod and praise: "Good, good..." At this moment, he didn't know what to say because the decoration style and the degree of care here had far exceeded his imagination! He felt joy, shock, touching and weird... All kinds of feelings intertwined together made him unable to express his inner excitement in words! This strong feeling even exceeded the surprise and admiration he had when he first saw the waterfall in the building! Looking at his old father-in-law Lin Xiaofeng sitting behind the desk, he was also full of thoughts. He felt as if he had traveled through time and space to a brand new world! At the same time, Li Dexian was muttering with resentment: "Build one for me too...Build one for me too..." Lin Xiaofeng responded helplessly: "Okay, okay, stop pinching me and I'll build one for you!" Then he got rid of Li Dexian's entanglement, put on a smile and ran to Emperor Jingjiang and asked: "Your Majesty, how do you feel? Do you like this house I gave you?" Emperor Jingjiang nodded and praised: "Yes, yes, yes, I like it! I have never received such a good gift!" Hearing such an answer, Lin Xiaofeng was secretly happy. He decided to take Emperor Jingjiang to continue visiting this magical skyscraper and see the other rooms and facilities.
A group of officials also gathered in front of the French windows with great interest, pointing and talking, happily discussing the scenery outside the window and the magic of the building. Their faces were filled with excitement and expectation, as if they had seen the new changes in Jingjiang in the future. One of the officials suggested: "I think, in the future, the government offices in Jingjiang can be built according to this." This suggestion was immediately agreed by others.
Lin Xiaofeng also took the opportunity to get rid of Li Dexian's entanglement, walked to Emperor Jingjiang with a smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, there are other rooms in this house. Let me take you to see them." Emperor Jingjiang readily agreed, and everyone began to further explore this magical skyscraper together.
The design of the top floor is not just limited to the layout of the living room. Every detail here has been carefully planned and conceived.
The bedroom is spacious and comfortable, full of home warmth. There is an exquisite map hanging on the wall, which makes people feel the vastness of the world while resting. The tea room exudes a faint tea fragrance, as if it can make people forget the troubles of the world. The design of the bathroom is even more ingenious, with white marble and exquisite decorations that make people feel elegant and luxurious.
Emperor Jingjiang reluctantly left his desk and followed Lin Xiaofeng to other rooms to look around. His eyes revealed his love and reluctance to leave this top floor. The officials followed closely behind him, their eyes full of envy and expectation.
When they came to the bedroom, Emperor Jingjiang was attracted by the eye-catching big bed. The mattress was very expensive, and if it was sold on the market, its value would be inestimable. The four-piece set on the bed was even more finely crafted, and the silk quilt was soft and comfortable, giving people a noble and elegant feeling.
Then, they came to the bathroom and tea room. The design of each place was refreshing, as if they were in a modern home environment. Emperor Jingjiang and the officials were attracted by this new decoration style, and their faces were filled with smiles of surprise and satisfaction.
After a round of viewing, Emperor Jingjiang was still immersed in great joy. The officials were envious, thinking in their hearts, how great it would be if they could learn from such a design in their own homes!
At this time, Bai Yongyuan came up to Lin Xiaofeng and asked in a low voice: "Marquis Jianye, look at the big table in the hall, as well as the bookcase and other items. Is there a lower-quality version that can be customized? In addition, the transparent big window and the craftsman who decorated the house... My old house also needs to be repaired. If there is such a skill, I would like to buy some."
Lin Xiaofeng smiled and replied, "No problem, these can all be customized!" Hearing this reply, Bai Yongyuan showed a satisfied smile on his face. He sighed, "Today really opened my eyes. Does the mansion you bought for His Majesty have a name? I didn't seem to find a plaque when I entered the door."
Lin Xiaofeng replied, "There is a name, called 'First-class Loyal Minister'. But if this name is made into a plaque and hung on the door, it might be a bit weird. What do you think, Lord Bai?" After hearing this, Bai Yongyuan's face twitched slightly and he said helplessly, "Just pretend I didn't ask."
After everyone returned to the living room, they still felt a little unsatisfied. Emperor Jingjiang couldn't wait to sit back at his desk and even took a book to experience this new office experience. Lin Xiaofeng stood aside, looking around the space he had carefully designed, his heart full of pride and satisfaction.
At this time, Lin Xiaofeng raised his voice and said to everyone: "Today, I have taken you all to visit Feiliu Building. If you have any opinions or suggestions, please feel free to raise them." However, everyone shook their heads to indicate that they had no opinions. They praised this new design and thought it was perfect.
Seeing the enthusiastic response from the crowd, Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Since everyone is satisfied, that's good. In fact, the original intention of building skyscrapers is to solve the housing problem caused by future population growth. Now it seems that there are no major technical problems. I can even say that in the future we will be able to build buildings as high as thirty meters or even higher."
His words made everyone fall into endless reverie. The scene of a city with tall buildings emerged in their minds. What a magnificent picture it would be! The whole city would become sparkling and fascinating.
However, Lin Xiaofeng's focus is not only on the magnificence and beauty of the building, but also on the technological progress and driving effect brought about by the construction process. The construction of this skyscraper not only overcomes the difficulties in structure, materials, processes, etc., but also drives the development and innovation of related technologies. This is like the craze for creating perpetual motion machines in the past. Although perpetual motion machines do not exist, the crazy attempts of the people who make them have brought about the birth of many important new technologies.
Seeing everyone so excited and expectant, Lin Xiaofeng was filled with regret. He should have thought of making a large sand table to show the future city scene, which might allow everyone to more intuitively feel the magnificence and shock of the tall buildings.
But it was still not too late. He could gradually perfect this idea and present it in the following time. Thinking of this, he walked to the side of Emperor Jingjiang and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think there are any other issues that need to be corrected?"
Emperor Jingjiang shook his head and smiled, "It's impeccable. It's beyond my expectation. But are you here just for a visit today?" Lin Xiaofeng replied, "Your Majesty is wise. I don't just want to visit. I actually want to take this opportunity to let everyone see the potential of the new building. In addition, it is obviously against the rules to build such a building in Kyoto. But in order to cope with the future, I think some changes need to be made anyway. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Jingjiang pondered for a long time, tapped his fingers on the desk, looked up and said: "Where do you think is the best place to build a skyscraper in Kyoto?" Lin Xiaofeng quickly replied: "Outer city! First, it is far away from the imperial palace. Second, there are many new people entering the capital in recent years. In the future, the outer city will continue to expand. There is no better place than the outer city. As for the specific arrangement, it is up to your majesty to decide."
Emperor Jingjiang stood up and said with a hearty smile: "Then build it. I can decide some rules directly. But when do you plan to start?" Lin Xiaofeng pondered: "I just proposed this idea today, but if we really want to build it in Kyoto, we need to conduct detailed surveys and plans. At least we have to wait for my people to summarize the problems that occurred during the construction of Feiliu Building and the problems that may arise in the future before we start construction."
