Germany.
Hesse, Frankfurt.
The Rhine River, originating from the foothills of the Alps, flows quietly through the north bank of Frankfurt, bringing a touch of coolness to this world-famous industrial city.
At this moment, in the office of a wedge-shaped building on the banks of the Rhine in the south of Frankfurt, designers from the Hochtief Architecture Company are staring at the live broadcast on the screen, their eyes full of fanaticism.
Hochtief Architecture is the most famous architectural design company in Germany. Its history can be traced back to the beginning of the last century. It is a leader in the entire European construction industry.
As a century-old construction company, Hochtief has produced a large number of well-known architectural designers since its establishment. While bringing amazing orders to Hochtief, it has also accumulated absolute reputation for it, leaving many significant architectural works in the entire history of world architecture.
In major European cities such as Venice, Berlin, Manchester, Lisbon, etc., there are works designed by Hochtief, such as the Cathedral of Sant Joan, Casa Milà, the City of Sciences in Valencia, the Lisbon Museum, etc.
Hochtief's architectural works have a precise grasp of architecture and architectural aesthetics, and use this as the company's architectural logic.
However, several famous architects from this world-renowned architectural company are sitting together at this moment, staring at a magnificent architectural work on the computer screen with fascination.
It is not accurate to call it a work of architecture. Strictly speaking, it would be more appropriate to regard it as a floating island composed entirely of buildings!
The so-called "floating island" is a floating island that can drift on the sea!
Looking at the appearance of this island, its lower part is a "base" built entirely of a huge khaki steel frame structure, and around the base, powerful propulsion machines are installed. From a distance, it has a very sci-fi beauty!
There is no other architectural facility of this style in the entire human history. It is truly unique!
The huge steel frame structure forms the base of the floating island, which looks very stable, and above it is the real island scenery!
On the island, there are clusters of coconut palm trees, which constitute the main color of the island, and in them are winding and slowly flowing white rivers.
In addition, there are buildings of various styles standing among them, including skyscrapers reaching into the sky, but also low-rise houses and villages.
In short, this is a human settlement that combines primitive and modern styles, providing a variety of lifestyles for people with different preferences.
"Oh my god, the person who designed this island must be a lunatic!"
Seeing such a fantastic design, Hochtief's chief designer Alva's eyes widened, he let out a deep exclamation, and his face was full of disbelief.
As a world-renowned architectural master, Alva has never lacked imagination. In his previous design works, most of them added some advanced fantasy elements, making his works look both artistic and practical.
But it is worth mentioning that all the design plans he imagined are within the reach of existing construction technology. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the work is, it will only be a piece of waste paper.
It was based on this concept that when Alva first saw this floating island-like building, he was filled with disbelief.
To him, the work in front of him was indeed full of imagination, but there was no possibility of its implementation at all!
However, what made him even more unbelievable was that the owner of Emerald Island, Jiang Cheng, the most prestigious father of science and technology in the world today, actually publicly announced that he wanted to build such a mobile habitable island!
is it possible
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Alva absolutely does not believe that with the current level of technology in the world, it is possible to put such a design into practice, even if the other party is the Emerald Island that is constantly creating technological miracles!
As Alva spoke, several other fellow designers present also shook their heads slightly, with questioning looks in their eyes. They are all world-renowned designers with unique insights in their respective fields.
Therefore, regardless of whether this designed floating island is really feasible, the time cost of its construction alone is immeasurable!
Can such a large-scale artificial island involving many current technological technologies from all walks of life really be built instead of ending up as an unfinished project
At this moment, in the minds of these designers, they are more inclined to believe that this is a gimmick thrown out by Emerald Island, the purpose of which is to attract technology practitioners from all over the world to work for it!
However, what Hochtief's chief designer Alva and several other designers did not know was that next to them, a young designer with a neat hairstyle and clear eyes had a strong fire flashing in his eyes!
As a newly-promoted top designer at Hochtief, Hadid has been regarded as a "freak" and a "madman" since he entered the architectural industry. If it weren't for the expectations of the company's CEO, he wouldn't even be able to join Hochtief.
Hadid's designs are often considered to be "impractical", full of fantasy but lacking in practicality, which has also led to many of his designs being left in obscurity.
However, Hadid did not give up her design concept and has persisted to this day.
Just now, when he saw Jiang Cheng making an impassioned speech at the closing ceremony and throwing out this crazy construction plan, he was completely excited!
At this moment, he felt that his design style and concept, which had never been understood, seemed to have found its goal!
…
The same thing is happening in every corner of the world.
All the scientific researchers who saw Jiang Cheng’s world-shaking construction plan through the live broadcast felt their blood boiling!
This plan can definitely be described as extremely crazy!
A huge island that can float on the sea and "flow" at any time, a sea land that combines primitive and modern, natural and technological, just thinking about it makes people feel incredible!
However, aren’t the premises of science often derived from fantasy
For those who are truly passionate about science, being able to participate in such a huge scientific and technological project that will go down in history is itself worthy of boasting and praise!
Therefore, when Jiang Cheng’s crazy plan was announced, scientific researchers from all over the world began to get agitated!
