December.
There has been heavy snowfall in Laoshan Mountain.
This year's Laoshan County is very different from previous years. In the past few months, the entire Laoshan County has been basically leveled. It seems like it has experienced a baptism of war, and it also seems like it has gone through great changes.
The entire Laoshan County is full of ruins and new buildings are being built everywhere.
All the residents of Laoshan County were moved outside the city, and the Laoshan County government built mobile houses and various tents.
All warm.
Laoshan County is probably the richest county in the world, so it is not short of money at all. Even if it is a mobile house, every household has heating. Someone is dedicated to burning the boiler every day to provide heating. In Laoshan, where the temperature is minus 8 degrees Celsius, the river is frozen enough for cars to cross, but the people in the mobile houses are so hot that they go shirtless.
This is the unique benefit of Laoshan.
In the center of Laoshan County, there is a building that towers over all buildings. The huge building makes people feel inferior, and it is also the tallest building in the world today.
A fifty-six-story building.
The building was named 'Lee's Hotel'. In the planning of the building, there are sixteen elevators that can operate at the same time. The ten floors below are all shopping malls, which are huge.
The forty-sixth floor above are all residential rooms.
This building is expected to cost 40 million gold coupons, which is not a small amount of money. It is comparable to half of Qingdao County’s annual fiscal revenue.
Forty million gold coupons were spent just to build a building, but no one thought it was worth it.
Because this building has an extremely special symbolic meaning and also has very important practical value.
After the hotel is completed in the future, this hotel will become the most glorious symbol in the world. Scientists who come to participate in the Jiuzhou Science and Technology Award every year will be able to stay at the Lishi Hotel for free. Scholars and great Confucians from all over the world can stay at Master Li's Hotel for free.
And guests from all over the world will also stay in Master Li's Hotel.
Its more important significance is to entertain scientific researchers and scholars with outstanding contributions from various countries. Not much commercial use.
Of course, it also needs to be profitable. Therefore, if ordinary people want to stay at Master Li's Hotel, they have to pay a huge price. The price is to face paying a room fee of more than 100,000 gold vouchers a day.
It can be said that anyone who can stay at Mr. Li's Hotel will be the best among people, either rich or noble. And those who can stay for free have extremely high status.
In this world, through Li Zhen's comprehensive promotion, scientists enjoy an extremely noble status. Scientists have become the mainstream of the world. Scientists are no longer just a force to promote the development of the world, but more like stars and more like an honor.
Turn boring scientific research into a halo of infinite glory, and there will be an extra passion in everyone's heart.
Li Zhen stood at the Kyushu Academy of Sciences with his hands behind his back, looking at Laoshan County in the distance. At a glance, he could only see the faint Li Shi Hotel under construction.
The hotel is not yet finished. It is still visible even though it is more than ten kilometers away, and it is also the only visible building. One can imagine how terrifying the scale of this building is.
Li Zhen blushed a little and went to Jia Liping and others again to discuss: "Can you change the name?"
Ding Zhenzhen wondered: "What name should I change?"
"Change the name of Master Li's hotel and don't mention me."
The words fell.
Everyone immediately shook their heads.
"Can't!"
"Master Li, you can't change your name."
"Not only cannot the name be changed, this building will also become a symbol of Laoshan County. A landmark building of Qingdao County."
"What we originally planned was to design the building as a statue of Master Li. A giant statue as high as fifty-six stories. But this... the actual operation level cannot reach this level. Alas, civil engineering is not very developed. , we can only put our imagination on hold.”
“…”
Li Zhen blushed for a while, even though he was used to others praising him. But he is very uncomfortable with this feeling of being blown into a god.
"You can change it to Kyushu Tower, New Kyushu Hotel, or Academy of Sciences Hotel. You don't have to use mine..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted: "Master Li, you are the symbol of New Kyushu and the symbol of Kyushu Academy of Sciences."
"Master Li, heaven will confer a great responsibility on this man."
"Master Li, we students will completely obey your instructions in other matters. But this matter must be obeyed by us. We want you to be remembered forever."
“…”
Li Zhen stopped chatting and asked, "How is the construction progress of Dafengtai?"
"Back to Master Li, the construction of the square is actually more troublesome than the construction of buildings in Laoshan County. Because the squares here will be carefully crafted to show the craftsmanship of New Kyushu and the spirit of excellence. The squares used in the square An ordinary brick is not allowed to have the slightest burr. To put it bluntly, the sand used must be inspected one by one by specialized personnel with a magnifying glass before it can be used."
"So the progress of these square groups in Dafengtai is a little slow. But it will not waste time. Yanagisawa Megumi helped us invite twelve engineering teams to come to support."
Li Zhen sighed: "Every day and every night there is the roar of machines, which makes people's ears numb."
"Then Master Li, why don't you stay at Dafengtai recently?"
"How can that be done? The first mass production machine of the Peng type has been assembled. I have to stay here. Besides, I have nothing to do when I go elsewhere. Since the Kyushu Academy of Sciences was established, I have been free. I'm down. It's just a good thing, it means that everyone is making progress and no longer needs me, which is a good thing."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Master Li, how come we don't need you anymore?"
"Master Li's existence is the greatest significance of Kyushu Academy of Sciences. Why do you say we don't need you?"
"Without you, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences would still be called the Kyushu Academy of Sciences?"
“…”
Li Zhen laughed and sighed inwardly. Recently, he has become more and more aware of everyone's changes, and there is no limit to the compliments, and what you can't refute is that everyone's compliments are extremely sincere. It's not the kind of flattery, but it comes from the heart.
They regard themselves as gods. And their identity is more like missionaries, constantly preaching to the outside world how perfect their gods are. And this concept is deeply rooted in my heart.
"How is your research on the shield machine I mentioned a few months ago?"
Li Zhen changed the topic. He now has a habit of changing the subject. Whenever someone brags about him, he will change the subject. There is always a topic to change.
"Back to Master Li, the structure of the shield machine is more complicated than we imagined. It's not as simple as just drilling a hole with a drill..."
