When Yang Jing met Adrian Smith, it was 2021. Just after new year's day, the 77 year old man came to Tianqu thousands of miles away.
Adrian is a typical white American. He is tall and strong. His silver hair makes him look particularly hale and hearty. If you don't know his age, just looking at his appearance, most people will think that he is probably less than 70, but in fact, he is an old man in his late eighties.
With the name of the designer of the world's tallest building now and the world's tallest building in the future under construction, Adrian has become the most famous super high-rise building designer on the planet. However, the old man did not become arrogant. On the contrary, the old man was a person who easily attracted people.
"Hi, Mr. Yang, nice to meet you. I'm Adrian Smith." in a large office on the top floor of a 100 meter high-rise office building in Tianqu City, Yang Jing met Adrian.
Because of the upcoming construction of Tianqu, Yang Jing rented the top floor and sub top floor of a high-end office building in the urban area as the office space of "Tianqu office". More than half of the members of the Tianqu office who had been in the United States have come to Tianqu, and they will work here in the next few years, responsible for coordinating and directing various engineering projects of the whole Tianqu construction.
"Hey, Mr. Smith, nice to meet you too. Call me Albert. That's what my friends call me."
"OK, Albert, you can also call me ad. Mr. Smith will call our relationship estranged."
"Well, ad, come on, please sit down. Would you like some coffee or tea?"
"Have a cup of coffee, no sugar and milk."
Yang Jing pressed a button on the table. After a while, Leah Alonso, who loved traveling, pushed the door and came in. As the face of the eight member secretary team, Leah became the Chief Secretary of Yang Jing's office.
After Yang Jing ordered two words, Leia turned and walked out of the office. After a while, she brought a cup of steaming Blue Mountain coffee and a cup of green tea.
"Ad, try it. It's authentic pearl bean Blue Mountain coffee. It's hard to see outside."
Adrian took a cup and tasted it. He immediately said, "yes, this is indeed the top pearl bean Blue Mountain coffee, but as far as I know, most of this pearl bean coffee is in my hands."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "unfortunately, the Japanese companies that invested in Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee are now subsidiaries of Pacific Capital, and I am the boss of Pacific Capital."
"Oh, MAIGA! Pacific Capital? The newly rising super capital? That's your company?" as the world's top architectural design master, Adrian naturally knows the most popular topic in the world. The Pacific capital managed by Harrison Johnson is one of the most popular topics in the world.
Yang Jing smiled and nodded, but did not continue to speak. The reason to tell Adrian his identity is to let the design master understand one thing, that is, I Yang Jing is not bad for money. I am even more arrogant than those local tyrants in Arabia. You can rest assured and design boldly!
Sure enough, after Yang Jing's gesture, Adrian immediately rubbed his hands excitedly, "Albert, I saw the invitation you sent me. Now I want to confirm that what you said in the invitation is true?"
"That's right. Ad, I can tell you with certainty that all the things written in the invitation letter are true. When you come here, you can design a super high-rise building you want to design, and I am only responsible for providing funds! Of course, I have only one requirement, that is, the skyscraper you designed must remain alive for ten years after its completion The name of the tallest building in the world! "
"Aha!" hearing this, Adrian screamed excitedly. He was not as steady as the world's top architectural designer, but like a primary school student who got a beloved toy.
"Don't worry, Albert, I will design a skyscraper that others can't surpass! Well, at least no one will surpass her in the next 20 years!"
"Ad, I believe in your ability. So, do you have the general design concept of this building now?"
"Yes!" Adrian replied very positively, "In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, I was designing a super high-rise building higher than the Harry Potter tower. Hehe, I guess you can imagine that people like me are really restless, and constantly surpassing themselves has always been my life principle. It is for this reason that I designed one after I finished designing the Harry Potter tower Higher skyscraper. When Jeddah, Saudi Arabia built the Kingdom tower, I once submitted this design plan. At that time, Prince alwalid agreed to this plan and prepared to allocate funds to build this ultra-high skyscraper. However, the local geological conditions and climate conditions did not allow the construction of this one mile high building. However, the Kingdom tower had to be cut down Having reached a height of 600 meters, I can only redesign another scheme, that is, the design scheme of the current Kingdom tower. "
Hearing this, Yang Jing asked curiously, "then why didn't Saudi Arabia use your original design? It's just that the height is not enough. Your design should have no impact on the Kingdom tower?"
"No! I won't allow it!" Adrian's face became serious, "For our architectural designers, every design scheme is our children. I must choose the place where each child grows up according to his differences. The one mile high skyscraper I designed in those years can only be built 1609 meters high. If 600 meters are artificially cut off, it is equivalent to cutting off all my children from above the waist. That's right Can the child live? "
Good! This reason is really very powerful. Yang Jing couldn't help erecting a thumb for Adrian.
"Therefore, I would rather give up the previous design and design a new scheme for Prince alwalid, rather than use a deleted design scheme."
"Ad, I can understand your mood. But I really have a question to ask you. Do you think with the current construction technology, you can really build the one mile high skyscraper you designed? It's 1609 meters high."
Adrian nodded affirmatively and said: "in terms of current construction technology, it is indeed difficult to build a 1609 meter high-rise building, but it is not impossible. As long as the local geological and climatic conditions allow, coupled with sufficient funds, building a mile high-rise building is not an insurmountable problem."
Yang Jing nodded, and then he asked, "so ad, do you think if you build a 1992 meter high building, can you do it with the current construction technology?"
"1992 meters?" Adrian was stunned, then shook his head and said: "I can't guarantee this. According to the current construction technology, this height can be built, but in that case, the floor area of the building will be a terrible figure. The floor area of the foundation of the Khalifa tower I designed in that year alone exceeded 20000 square meters. The floor area of the foundation of the Kingdom tower I designed reached 30000 square meters 10000 square meters, of course, this also has a great relationship with the local geological conditions of Jeddah, but it is undeniable that the higher the height of the building, the larger the construction area of the foundation, otherwise the weight of the building will crush the foundation! Albert, the higher the super high-rise building, the higher the requirements for the foundation. When the height of the super high-rise building exceeds a certain limit After that, for every one meter increase in the height of the building, the requirements for the foundation will be greatly improved. "
After a pause, Adrian continued: "Compare the Khalifa tower with the Kingdom tower. The Kingdom tower is only 171 meters higher than the Khalifa tower, but the foundation of the two is not at the same level. The pile tip depth of the Khalifa tower is only 70 meters, while the pile tip depth of the Kingdom tower is 110 meters. My one mile high-rise building has higher requirements for the foundation. Albert , I've also read the documents you sent me about the local geological conditions of Tianqu. The geological conditions of Tianqu are much better than Jeddah, but even so, in my design scheme, if the building is really to be built in Tianqu, the foundation area alone will exceed 70000 square meters, and the floor area of the whole building will be larger. As for what you just asked That question, if we want to build a high-rise building of 1992 meters, I estimate that the foundation alone will cover an area of more than 100000 square meters, and the floor area must be at least more than 1 square kilometer. Are you sure it costs such a large floor area to build this building? "
"Such a high building cannot be built without a large enough foundation. Similarly, if the floor area of the foundation is expanded, the cost of the building will be doubled. Therefore, personally, I don't recommend you to build such a high building. A mile high is enough to ensure that no one can build it in the next 20 years Beyond. "
"Well, I took it for granted." Yang Jing smiled and admitted that her conjecture about the 1992 meter high building was a mistake. Is it necessary to build such a high building instead of impossible?
In fact, the height of a mile is also very shocking!

When Yang Jing met Adrian Smith, it was 2021. Just after new year's day, the 77 year old man came to Tianqu thousands of miles away.
Adrian is a typical white American. He is tall and strong. His silver hair makes him look particularly hale and hearty. If you don't know his age, just looking at his appearance, most people will think that he is probably less than 70, but in fact, he is an old man in his late eighties.

Yang Jing pressed a button on the table. After a while, Leah Alonso, who loved traveling, pushed the door and came in. As the face of the eight member secretary team, Leah became the Chief Secretary of Yang Jing's office.
After Yang Jing ordered two words, Leia turned and walked out of the office. After a while, she brought a cup of steaming Blue Mountain coffee and a cup of green tea.
"Ad, try it. It's authentic pearl bean Blue Mountain coffee. It's hard to see outside."
Adrian took a cup and tasted it. He immediately said, "yes, this is indeed the top pearl bean Blue Mountain coffee, but as far as I know, most of this pearl bean coffee is in my hands."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "unfortunately, the Japanese companies that invested in Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee are now subsidiaries of Pacific Capital, and I am the boss of Pacific Capital."
