My art is too advanced.

Chapter 365 A Revolutionary Blueprint! (Seeking monthly votes!!!)

soon.

He submitted a set of drawings.

Lu Cheng also directly convened experts for review.

Several experts looked at the drawing and then hesitated.

“Mr. Lu, we have reviewed this drawing, but there are some things in it that we need to discuss with Professor Zhou before we can understand his thoughts.”

Lu Cheng asked, somewhat surprised, "Is there anything in here that you don't understand?"

He was genuinely surprised. He had decided to give Professor Zhou a lot of authority, but he didn't expect that your level of expertise would be so incomprehensible to these experts, who were all professors he had invited!
Professor level is basically the top in this industry. Although it can't be called the ceiling, at least you will understand the major and minor things in this industry. You won't be so clueless as to not even understand a blueprint.

"Indeed, some of the advanced technologies here are beyond our understanding, and there are also some materials that we feel have never been circulated in the market."

"If it were someone else who designed this blueprint, we would think they were making things up out of thin air and fabricating something randomly. But this is Professor Zhou. If it's Professor Zhou, then it makes sense. Many things may not be that we don't understand them, but rather that the technology may be newly developed."

"The newly developed technology is directly applied to the blueprints. Isn't he worried about whether these technologies can pass the tests?" Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

It's not really important who developed these technologies; what matters is whether they are truly safe and whether they can actually be used in the production of this landmark building.

If it's just a general idea, then he felt that Professor Zhou might be too hasty. Applying these new technologies to construction would require a long period of experimentation to test their performance before they could be applied in actual projects.

It would be very irresponsible to write these things directly here.

"Mr. Lu, please don't worry. We believe that since Professor Zhou was able to include these things in the instructions for the drawings, he must have the corresponding technology."

"These drawings contain not only technical issues, but also some design issues, which we need to consult with Professor Zhang. Many of these things are quite advanced. It's not really appropriate for us to judge Professor Zhou based on our level, but there are indeed many things in these drawings that we need to discuss."

"Since we are the experts in this field, we also have the right to have a face-to-face exchange with Professor Zhou."

"Alright, then you can go directly to Ningda University to find Professor Zhou."

"After we resolve all the issues on the blueprints, we'll determine the start date," Lu Cheng said.

Of course, he said that he would ask these people to consult him, but he would also ask Teacher Zhou himself.

He quickly made a phone call to Teacher Zhou.

"Professor Zhou, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I'll get straight to the point. Some of our experts will come over and discuss your drawings with you."

“Okay, there are some things inside that we do need to explain to them,” Zhou Yue said.

"Teacher Zhou used some new technologies in this, right? Are these new technologies reliable?"

"There are also some new things in the blueprints that I didn't look at closely. I just glanced at them. The new materials in them are ones I've never seen before."

"I have applied for invention patents for these new technologies, and they can be directly applied to actual engineering projects. They are projects jointly developed by the School of Architecture of Ningbo University and several other schools."

"For every new technology and project, we are working overtime to apply for or test them. The latest experimental projects will have results within half a month."

Zhou Yue also gave some instructions.

Lu Cheng's eyes lit up slightly.

That's exactly the effect he wanted—to showcase the top-level architectural and technological achievements in China to foreigners and the world.

Moreover, these top-notch scientific and technological achievements may only be possible for Professor Zhou. After all, Professor Zhou Yue is not only an architectural designer, but also has made many contributions to scientific research, and can even be described as a top scientist.

If a scientist like him were to do the design, he would definitely incorporate some of his own ideas, that is, some new things. These new things would be added to the ordinary drawings, and Professor Zhou would definitely need to explain them. But that's not what he cares about. What he cares about is whether these things can be made and whether they can be made to the best of their ability.

If it can be done safely and without any problems, then he will definitely support it and support the project.

Zhou Yue didn't think much of it, and soon the three experts arrived.

He knew two of the three experts; both of them had studied under Professor Liang.

As for the remaining one...

He wouldn't know. It could be from another university, or it could be an expert he doesn't know. After all, it's impossible for him to remember most people in the industry; it would be good enough if he could only remember the top ones.

"Teacher Zhou, we've come to ask you some questions about the drawings."

"Let's all exchange ideas. There's no need to ask for advice. Just share your thoughts, and that will give me some ideas for my design."

Zhou Yue was also smiling.

Then we found an empty classroom.

They held a brief meeting where the experts raised their questions, and Lin Ning provided answers.

After all, he was in charge of the specifics. Zhou Yue didn't even go to the site, so he didn't know the progress of those projects. He only cared about the results.

Once the results are in, he can check them, glance at the data, and that's basically it.

As for the three people's biggest concern, it is the issue of new technologies. Although no papers have been published on these new technologies, their patents have already been applied for, so there is no need for any papers at all.

Next, we will explain the contents to these three experts.

Lin Ning was the main speaker, followed by Zhou Yue. He watched from the sidelines, and there was basically nothing for him to do. He might offer some explanations about the advanced aspects of the blueprints, but he would provide standardized training on these later, so he only gave simple explanations.

He will release a video to explain any issues with the drawings, and then others can simply watch the video. The same applies to new technologies; he will also provide technical explanations in the videos.

Otherwise, if so many people can't understand his drawings, then even if he draws them, they can't be implemented.

After receiving the news, the three experts left satisfied.

Lu Cheng called again the next day.

"Teacher Zhou, how much investment do you think it would take to make this design work?" "About five hundred."

Lu Cheng felt a tremor in his heart.

Despite being well-prepared and thinking that we might not be concerned about the cost of building this airport, I am still somewhat shocked.

Five hundred, that's not ten thousand, that's a hundred million!
"Alright, I'll go coordinate the funding." Lu Cheng said through gritted teeth.

Zhou Yue just smiled and said, "The 50 billion includes some new technologies."

"But once these technologies are developed, they may be able to reduce costs slightly."

"Let's reduce it by five to one billion."

Lu Cheng, "..."

Teacher Zhou must be joking, right? What use would five to ten billion be?

Lu Cheng hung up the phone quickly.

He glanced at the blueprint, then looked it over with the accompanying instructions. He was very knowledgeable about the design industry and had a thorough understanding of architecture.

Having worked in the construction industry for so many years, even on the front lines, it's impossible for him not to understand the value of the blueprints in front of him; it's just that the price is a bit too low for him.

"Such a high construction cost, but it's not really expensive if it's just for building a landmark."

"Okay, I'll trust you this once."

"I hope your design won't disappoint me."

But he himself knew about so many new technologies, and since the project was designed by Professor Zhou, there must have been a basic guarantee.

With such a large investment, building a landmark is quite normal. Some super landmarks require at least five hundred of them. Their design is also within a very reasonable range, after all, the area covered by this airport is indeed too large.

They also need a building like this, one that can make their voice heard on the international stage.

They also need their own people to design buildings, and their own architects to design their own landmark buildings.

Instead of being designed primarily by foreigners, many of the previous landmarks were designed by foreign designers, but nowadays, they do have top-notch designers in China!

Professor Zhou is a national treasure-level architect and designer who also excels in scientific research; there's no need for them to find bidding units outside.

However, this amount of money is not small, and even he would have to piece it together from various sources to make it available. So he still needs to prepare, otherwise he might not be able to apply for the money.

Zhou Yue didn't mind and quickly recorded the course.

After you finish recording, send it to them.

Basically, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Does Teacher Zhou's drawings come with accompanying explanations?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It's true, if we don't explain it, we just can't understand it. These nodes and such are really enough to make your scalp tingle. If a construction company were to work on this kind of irregular structure, it would probably be a disaster. I really don't know if any construction company would dare to take on this huge job."

Irregular structures are one thing, but if you make a node so complex that it gives people goosebumps at first glance, then you're really increasing the difficulty.

There aren't many people willing to do these things anyway.

Now that things are being done this way, it seems like there really aren't many design firms left to handle such large-scale projects.

It's not just about having strong professional knowledge; it's also about being able to train workers effectively.

But those are workers! If they had that level of knowledge, they wouldn't need to do this kind of work!

Therefore, even if a construction company comes to bid for this kind of project, they are not optimistic about it.

These blueprints truly brought a revolutionary experience, putting all the knowledge they had learned to use, and some of the knowledge even required them to learn now.

They are experts, and in this field, they are practically the undisputed authority.

Even for experts like them, understanding these blueprints still requires further learning.

All they could do was sigh.

This is probably what it feels like to work with Professor Zhou.

Teacher Zhou always manages to come up with something unexpected for them.

However, as experts, they were unwilling to criticize the building. But as members of China and the architectural community, they were very pleased to see its creation. After all, with an investment of over 50 billion yuan and many architectural features, it was basically among the most advanced in the world.

This likely represents China's international standing, combined with the country's influence and the most representative things that the top talents of their time could create.

This is the best thing they could do in their time, and it has even surpassed the times. Many of the features in it are made now, and some didn't even exist before. The fact that they didn't exist before means that many people may not have paid attention to this, or that they haven't been able to develop it.

Professor Zhou is not only a designer, but also a scientist.

Although some of the structures inside may seem daunting, once you actually follow the course videos and understand how they're analyzed, you'll naturally appreciate their power.

No wonder Professor Zhou has achieved his current status. He was able to accomplish so much in his research at such a young age. If he didn't become famous, who would?

When they think about their age, they feel that they are already old, but as a group of experts for young people, they are actually only in their forties.

Moreover, even at this age, when they were teenagers and just entering the scientific research field, which one of them could not be called a genius, or even a super genius!
After all, they are mostly graduates of top universities in China, and some have even studied under academicians for a long time.

Perhaps their qualifications are the threshold for meeting Teacher Zhou. Even at this level, looking at Teacher Zhou's drawings and taking his online classes might be the only way to appreciate the brilliance of his work.

"I think the area where we can't compare to Professor Zhou is in terms of innovation. I really don't know what Professor Zhou's brain is made of; countless ideas can come from it!"
