Chapter 102 One goal and another

On a sunny day, Ye Tao brought Dai Qiuyan to Danyang's bell tower. According to modern construction, Danyang's bell tower is now probably topped with a structural ceiling. However, the slightly prototype viewing platform and the limited-level hall below the platform have attracted many people to visit. The feeling of looking at the small mountains is everyone's favorite, and looking down at the entire city and watching the crowds and cars swimming in the streets under your feet is another feeling.

Among these people who came one after another, what made the current engineering manager Guan Haishan most dissatisfied with the arrival of the king and queen. As soon as the imperial guards and guards arrived, the entire construction site was immediately stopped, delaying the project progress for a whole day. After that, Guan Haishan rarely agreed to the request of the high-ranking officials and nobles to visit.

Part of the strong enthusiasm of the dignitaries and nobles is attributed to the lifting device installed in the bell tower that allows everyone to climb nearly three hundred feet without having to work hard.

The lifting device with weight discs and human winch as the core, although due to technical limitations, the performance and reliability of this elevator substitute are really unsatisfactory, but at least it is a relatively temporary solution.

But Guan Haishan was very welcome to the arrival of Ye Tao and Dai Qiuyan. Dai Qiuyan, a quiet and cute little girl, has always made them, the disciples of Ye Laogeng, actually learn more from Ye Tao. Since Dai Qiuyan's painting talent was gradually discovered, the relationship between Guan Haishan and this future "sibling" has become closer. Dai Qiuyan has almost written a series of buildings and gardens built by Guan Haishan, leaving behind many sketches. Dai Qiuyan's ability to draw imagination pictures based on the sketches, design drawings and structural drawings drawn by Ye Tao has made Guan Haishan lose a lot of trouble.

On the top viewing platform, several Ye’s workshop students working on the construction site set up screens for the "Young Grandma" to separate a small piece of quiet space that will not be disturbed by strong winds. Although occasionally there will be airflows that do not represent the mainstream wind direction today are surrounded from various angles, but they will not expose Dai Qiuyan’s delicate face to the whistling wind.

"Look, there is the palace there. From here, the palace is not big. But the palace buildings in the palace are indeed very interesting." Ye Tao pointed out and introduced Dai Qiuyan, who had climbed to the top of the bell tower for the first time.

"Surveying the palace... Isn't this arbitrary?" Dai Qiuyan was a little nervous. She held Ye Tao's clothes tightly and said in a low voice: "It's not good to let others hear it."

Ye Tao said dissatisfiedly: "What are you afraid of? You and I have visited the palace and played, but it's just a different angle."

I heard too many strange remarks around Ye Tao, and Dai Qiuyan didn't take it too seriously when she smiled slightly. However, she no longer refused to look at the palace in the distance. To be honest, the style of the palace with red walls and yellow tiles has always attracted Dai Qiuyan.

What attracted Dai Qiuyan was the entire Danyang New City area surrounding the bell tower. In the new city area, an artificial lake was dug out and became the center of the entire new district. The entire new city area revolves around the artificial lake and gradually unfolds. The innermost enclosure is the mansions of those big families. Although most of them are still under construction and have not yet formed a scale, especially the trees that have just been transplanted look not so dense, and they may not have a better shape until next spring and summer. However, a circle of gorgeous pavilions and towers surrounding the artificial lake have already taken shape.

In the outer circle, there are small courtyards. Some of these courtyards are merchants and wealthy households, and some middle-level officials bought the land and built the land. They found their place in this space as much as possible. However, it is not entirely true. Dai Yuege boss Dai and Ye Family Workshop jointly ventured with Ye Family Workshop, borrowed a lot of money from Deloitte Accounting Bank, and ate a considerable amount of land. The design was carried out by Ye Tao and Ye Family Workshop, and Dai Yuege and his construction team were responsible for the construction.

A series of small courtyards of various types. Some of these small courtyards have traditional forms, but many improved courtyards have been made in details. Some places ignore the social ethical functions of traditional courtyards, and there are also many courtyards that only value comfort and practicality. These small courtyards without formal archways and middle halls are now being paid attention to by many people. Most of the courtyards with more formal traditional architectural forms have been booked by middle and lower-level officials.

In the outer circle, there are different forms of public buildings. On the north side of the new city area, there are mainly some yamen buildings. After a while, some institutions will be moved in one after another. Among these institutions, the most eye-catching thing is that the two armies check the mansion. On the south side of the new district, there are various shops. These shops have been designed in detail in terms of transportation and logistics, such as the sidewalk for transportation is designed behind the store building. It will not affect the flow of people on the central avenue at any time. Now, some shops have begun to settle in, and some businesses have begun to flourish.

The east and west sides of the new district are relatively closely connected to the original urban area, making the entire new urban area present a unique form: this is not a city in the city, but a unique and charming area in Danyang, a city that is highly anticipated.

As Ye Tao's fiancée, Dai Qiuyan has been watching this new city on the ground more than once, and even entering the courtyard centers and even the ancestral halls of big families that ordinary people have never had the chance to enter in their lives. However, it is true that watching these buildings, courtyards and gardens on the ground, and the streets is completely different from looking down on the entire ground in the air. Looking at this entire new city in the air makes people feel that everything is at hand. Even for a little girl like Dai Qiuyan who has no ambitions and no too much desire, it is also dazzling.

Although he really wanted to accompany Dai Qiuyan to sketch, as long as he was at the construction site, Ye Tao inevitably had many things to solve. Especially today, he was here to solve the problem.

Danyang's bell tower has also entered a critical stage. Since Ye Tao and Guan Haishan adjusted the construction plan of the bell tower, the external decoration and sculpture work of the bell tower have only started, but the installation of internal facilities has entered the final stage. If it is smooth, the bell room will be installed within ten days, the bell ringing will be hoisted within fifteen days, and the first trial report will be conducted on the second day of the hoisting. In terms of construction, even the metal frame mixed building with bricks and stones that is rare in this era, it is no longer difficult for Ye Tao's senior brother Guan Haishan, but in the installation of various facilities of the bell tower, Guan Haishan, who is not proficient in precision machinery, still relies on Ye Tao. Today, Ye Tao is here to solve the design and installation of pulley sets used to hoist ringing.

The installation of pulley sets is very particular. The pulley set used to hoist the ringing bell must not only be able to bear the weight of the ringing bell through a large number of pulleys and linkage ropes, but also to make the entire lifting process smooth and safe, and to accurately send the ringing bell to the predetermined installation location. Unlike the bell tower in Yicheng, the bell tower in Danyang is not a big bell. Since the internal space of the Danyang bell tower is more sufficient than that of the Yicheng bell tower. The structure is also more stable and mature, the bell tower uses two sets of four bells with slightly smaller sizes. The combined weight of these four bells exceeds 2,000 kilograms can create a jagged and orderly rhythm when ringing. Although the bell may not be enough to cover the entire Danyang, this more elegant and gentle bell is more suitable for Danyang, a special city.

However, the lifting of four-seater clocks is more complicated than a large clock. Starting from the way of bundling the four-seater clocks to how to use pulleys to balance the weight, reduce the shaking of the clock in the lifting, thereby reducing the risk of accidents... A lot of things made it impossible for Ye Tao to stay with Dai Qiuyan for a long time.

Seeing that the easel had been mounted, the workshop student even opened the painting tools for Dai Qiuyan, cut the charcoal strips, and prepared the buckets for washing the pen and color adjustment that might be used. Dai Qiuyan thanked the student who was standing aside, gently pushed Ye Tao, and said, "Brother Ye, go and do your business. Don't worry about me."

Ye Tao nodded apologetically. He gently pinched Dai Qiuyan's hand, and then walked with Guan Haishan's deputy who was already standing aside and a little impatient.

While Ye Tao, Guan Haishan and a group of assistants were holding paper clips, drawing sketches, and calculating various relevant data, in a tea shed next to the construction site, two guys who looked like ordinary civilians were talking softly.

A man who looked dark in his forties said, "Ye Tao is here. The car over there is his. The leader has ordered him when did he take action?"

Another young man in his early twenties said calmly: "Old Feng, don't worry. The leader is waiting for the opportunity."

"Ye Tao is really hateful. If it weren't for him and the Blood Qi army, how could we have achieved this defeat?" said the guy called Lao Feng.

The young man did not talk to him. Ye Tao's ability to kill generals and enemies on the battlefield is not considered a strong person. No matter which country, he can beat him, he will catch one by one. This is just the least threatening of many abilities that Ye Tao fears.

After Xiling's defeat, the Xiling court studied the Blood Qi Army and studied several Dongping generals who were known to the beginning. Suddenly, they found that the Blood Qi Army generals who played a key role were almost all related to a place called Yi Zhan Tower. The Yi Zhan Tower is Ye Tao's industry. The Yi Zhan Tower is not just about having fun, it actually plays a role in honing the strategic and tactical thinking of the younger generation of Dongping. When such thinking is combined with the Blood Qi Army and the strange mechanisms of the two armies' review mansion, amazing chemical effects are created. Young people do not think that the above-mentioned orders to assassinate Ye Tao even if they succeed. Since someone in Xiling understands the role of Yi Zhan Tower, Dongping, the actual profiteer, will naturally realize this. Even if Ye Tao is gone, this mechanism may be maintained. It may just be that it is not as exciting as Ye Tao can make the activities when he was there.

The young man instructed: "You should carefully investigate the progress of the bell tower. I see that everyone is discussing the bell room and ringing. Is it about to be completed?"

Old Feng sighed. He turned into a civilian and worked on the construction site for a long time. He was there almost since the beginning of the construction of the bell tower. The task at that time was not to assassinate Ye Tao or anyone else, but to inquire about the structure of the bell tower and learn architectural techniques. Even in the era when Ye Tao came from, the absolute height of the building also had a faint smell of competition for national strength, let alone now? A landmark building is very significant to improve the image of a country.

Lao Feng is a high-level spy who has martial arts skills and knows a little technology. Even though he has worked hard to perform in these days with his foundation in construction and has become a manager at the foreman level, he is still unsure of the construction technology of the entire bell tower. He was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "This Ye Tao is really a genius. This bell tower is really extraordinary."

The young man squeezed a hint of contempt from his nose. In his opinion, Lao Feng's detailed work that understands technology is not very reliable. The mutual attraction between technicians and the ultimate pursuit of technology have great hidden dangers in such detailed work.

"Just try to find out the situation clearly." The young man interrupted Lao Feng's reverie and said, "Although Ye Tao is important, it is just the second goal. The arrangement here in Danyang is being stepped up. Don't expose your strength to inquire about Ye Tao."

Lao Feng nodded and said, "I can save it. Besides, there are less than them. I am not the only one on the construction site."

The young man nodded and said, "The first target is really troublesome....I heard that on the day of the trial report, you may come to the construction site. If so, you may take action here. Once there is a real news, you and Xiaoyu are ready."

Old Feng nodded and looked at the situation on the construction site. He is now responsible for the basic decoration of the top-floor viewing hall, which is also an extremely critical position. If Ye Tao had not been to guide the preparations for the bell hoisting and installation of the bell room today, he would have been busy in the 270-foot-high hall at this time. But now, the workers under his jurisdiction are sleeping in the dormitory on the side of the construction site, or they are strolling around in Danyang with the generous wages they earned these days.

After the young man left, Lao Feng drank another cup of tea and came to the construction site, mingled with the apprentices and students of the Ye Family Workshop to ask for various questions. In the past few months, Lao Feng has established a simple and studious image in everyone's minds. Many of the apprentices of the Ye Family Workshop and some recently promoted technicians have dealt with Lao Feng. They are not private about many aspects of knowledge, but the construction and other techniques of the Ye Family Workshop are too complicated, and Lao Feng has not learned much at all.
