359. Chapter 358 Babel Tower

The sun has already risen at 6 o'clock in the morning on the east side of the sea, and the golden sunshine shines on rows of mobile houses with blue tiles and white walls. Jiang Laogan stretched a few times while walking, and then walked

When he arrived at the door of Room 103, Tower 2, he saw that the blue curtains on the windows of the room were still closed. There was a snoring sound like "thunder" in the room. It was also very rhythmic. The sound was louder and louder, like the sea.

The waves are getting higher and higher.

"Niu Dali, this Niu Dali, gets up very early in the past. Why did he fall asleep when the leader came back?" Jiang Laogan shook his head with a wry smile, remembering that when the two of them lived in the same tent, Niu Dali

The snoring was so noisy that he often couldn't sleep all morning, and he would only sleep for a while when he was very sleepy. Fortunately, not even two months had passed, but the chief had brought so many prefabricated houses from the upper world.

It has improved the living conditions of everyone on the island.

This time, he was freed. As the manager of a small construction team, Jiang Laogan could choose a single room in the apartment according to the housing allocation principle. Of course, this kind of single room is not large in area and can only be used for most people.

9 square meters, the furniture in the room is also very simple, just a bed, a bedside table, a desk, a bookcase, a wardrobe, a back chair and a small square stool, and finally there is a clothes hanging

coat rack.

Others have also been allocated housing, such as department managers who are bigger than him and Niu Dali, so the housing will be larger, but it is only 3 square meters larger, reaching 12 square meters of space. But Jiang Laogan does not have

A little bit jealous, he is already very happy to have his own independent room and such good living conditions.

It was the room reserved for the chief. Mr. Chen and Miss Hong'er, who were in charge of the allocation at that time, led Jiang Laogan and others to visit it. It was 24 square meters in size. Because the room was very large, the chief's room was divided into

Two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, this is the term for the house type. According to the introduction of the chief, there are several house types in Shangjie.

The first type is an apartment, a type of collective housing. It is called a unit building or residential building in mainland China, and it is called a unit in Hong Kong and Macao. It refers to a living form with complete living facilities, but only occupies a part of the building. It is generally divided into

Residential apartments, serviced apartments, and serviced apartments mainly exist in various formats such as serviced apartments, entrepreneurial apartments, youth apartments, white-collar apartments, and youth SOHOs. They can also be divided into single rooms, one bedrooms, two bedrooms, three bedrooms...

It is divided into first living room, second living room..., first bathroom, second bathroom, etc.

The second type is a duplex house, which refers to a house composed of two natural floors in an apartment, with stairs up and down. Floors, bedrooms, living rooms, living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and other auxiliary rooms can be arranged in layers.

, the traffic between the upper and lower floors does not pass through public stairs but is used indoors alone.

It is connected by a small staircase, giving it a villa-like feel. There is also a similar type of loft house, which is a house occupying two floors, with internal stairs connecting the upper and lower floors; usually the living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and most of the rest are arranged on the first floor.

There is one bedroom, and the second floor is arranged with a bedroom, study room, bathroom, etc.

The third type is the sky villa, which is the "sky loft". Villas in high-rise apartments are usually built on the top floors. They originally referred to luxury houses at the top of high-rise buildings in the center of the city. Now they refer to villa-shaped jump-type residences built at the top of high-rise buildings.

.

The fourth type is townhouses, which are divided into duplexes, stacks, joint buildings, etc. The height is generally no more than 5 stories. There are shared walls between neighbors, but they are independent. Townhouses generally consist of several or more than a dozen buildings.

Low-rise residences with less than 5 floors are connected in parallel. Each building has an area of ​​about 150 to 200 square meters. It has its own independent garden at the front and rear, but the garden area generally does not exceed 50 square meters. There are also dedicated parking spaces or garages.

The fifth type is a detached villa, which is a detached house with an independent space on the upper floor, a private garden area in the middle, and a basement below. It is an independent house with strong privacy. The upper, lower, left, and rear are independent spaces. Generally, the surroundings of the house are

There are green spaces, courtyards, swimming pools, pavilions, basketball courts, etc. of varying sizes.

The sixth type is a single-story luxury apartment, which refers to a suite on the first floor of a high-rise apartment. It is more popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The last type is the manor...

When the chief explained these terms to himself and others, he also took out the "renderings" of these buildings in the upper realm. Seeing these "renderings", Jiang Laogan and the others were not only amazed, but also deeply moved.

They were shocked because the chief also showed them several other "renderings", which the chief said were the 10 tallest buildings in the upper world.

The first place is the Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates. The chief said it has 162 floors and a total height of 828 meters. It took the immortals in the upper world nearly 6 years to build it. How high is 828 meters? In fact, I heard it at the time

Several people couldn't imagine it, but the chief told them, just think that each floor of this tower is 5 meters high.

5 meters high, that’s 1.5 feet long. The people who were listening to the chief’s talk about ancient times that day were all members of the construction team. They were also in the construction period at that time, and they used tape measures frequently, and these dimensions were on the tape measure.

and rice conversion, so when the chief said it, they immediately reacted and took a breath of cold air.

They used the calculator given by the chief to calculate. After converting from meters to feet, they found that it was 248 feet tall. They thought about how tall the tower must be. It was a pity that they thought higher.

After a few dozen feet, I couldn't think about it anymore. I was thinking in my mind that this tower was going to reach the sky.

Huang Shi saw that they were frowning and could not imagine the height of the tower. He immediately felt funny and said, "Actually, you only need to think about it. The Dongluo Island we are on now has a diameter of no more than 3 kilometers. If this tower

If it were laid down sideways, it would only be less than a quarter of its size."

"Oh, yes, that's it." Everyone's thinking was squeezed into a corner just now, so they only thought about it and didn't think about it in a different way. Now when they heard what the leader said, they immediately recalled it in their hearts.

When I first looked at the situation of Dongluo Island from the hill, I then compared the height of the tower. Although it was not as high as the sky, the height was still astonishing.

And judging from the renderings, the entire exterior wall of the "Burj Khalifa" is shining with silver, as if it is inlaid with gems, shining in the sun. The chief said this is because this tower uses 83,000 square meters of glass and 27,000 square meters of metal.

square meters, total equivalent

There are 17 "football fields". There are also hot springs, swimming pools, luxury apartments, retail shops and personal business suites inside the tower. There is also an observation deck overlooking the city on the 124th floor. It is said that the "Burj Khalifa" is 95 kilometers away from it.

It can be seen everywhere.

These construction workers still don't understand the terms "football field" mentioned by the chief, but they know that this tower is very tall and very big. At this time, after seeing the "rendering", a construction worker said,

While envious, he murmured softly from behind, "Then if it is so high, the immortal who lives at the highest point would be exhausted just by walking up the stairs. If he climbed slowly, he would probably spend a lot of time.

It’s been going on for several days.”

Another construction worker next to him heard this, glanced at him sideways, and said, "You are really kidding me. All the immortals live here. How could the immortals take the stairs? They should all be flying around."

"However, the chief also said that not all the people in the upper world are immortals, there are also some mortals, so how can they fly up there." It turns out that when Huang Shi was talking about these things in the upper world, he had an ambush.

, just like the "book" he asked Bai Biyu to compile

In the "Bible" of "The Way of Nature", it is mentioned that there are saints, sages, supreme beings...mortals, etc. in the upper world. Those above mortals are called immortals. Immortals have great magic power, but mortals do not. However, they can use immortals to

Various magical instruments invented and created by people in their daily life and work.

"Didn't they have..."

"Haha, you're right." Huang Shi saw a few of them arguing over there and said with a smile, "This tower is so high, so naturally it has a magic weapon. It's called an elevator. But this kind of magic weapon is not for people to use.

It is held by a single person and flies up from the outside, but is installed inside the tower. This kind of elevator can stop every other floor. It is very fast and stable. People standing inside will not feel any vibration at all."

Just like Huang Shi said, there are 56 elevators in the "Burj Khalifa" running through it, with a speed of 18 meters per second. This is the fastest and longest running elevator in the world. Of course, Huang Shi just listened.

He said that he had never seen it, because it included one of the tallest buildings in China, the "Oriental Pearl TV Tower". When he traveled to Shanghai that year, he only glanced at it from a distance across the river.

"Chief, you said before that one day you would build a high tower in this lower realm, so you also need to install this magic weapon called an 'elevator', right?" Niu Dali had been listening to other people's discussions just now, and now he finished speaking in Huangshi

He suddenly said this sentence.

"Well, yes, we will definitely build a 100-story building when we have the opportunity in the future." Huang Shi nodded, a little complacent. He even thought of the name of the building, and called it "Babel Tower".

A "Temple of Heaven" was built on the top of the building overlooking the city.

The original name of the "Tower of Babel" is the Tower of Babel, or the Tower of Babel or the Tower of Babel. Chapter 11 of the Jewish Bible, Old Testament, and Genesis declares that at that time, mankind united to build a high tower hoping to lead to heaven.

Tower; In order to prevent human beings from planning, God made human beings speak different languages ​​so that human beings could not communicate with each other. Therefore, the plan failed, and human beings have been scattered since then.

The Jews can use this story to try to provide an explanation for the emergence of different languages ​​and races in the world. Of course, Huangshi can also use the "Tower of Babel" to achieve its own goals. First of all, of course, it is to let people in this world deepen their belief in the "natural way"

, because in this high and great greatness

In front of the building, any race, any country, any nation, any indigenous people of any religious belief in this era, as long as they can see it, they will probably feel their own humbleness and insignificance, and thus they will crawl at its feet, and then become "
