Chapter 126

"Then let me tell you something?" Gu Lu asked in a tentative tone.

Academician Guo smiled lightly and said, "Let's talk. Lao Li, you should also listen and give me some pointers."

Academician Li nodded slightly and looked at Gu Lu.

The other dozen or so academicians also cast their gazes of goodwill or scrutiny on Gu Lu.

Being stared at by more than a dozen academicians, Gu Lu felt a lot of pressure.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and recalled in his mind the construction concept drawing that Academician Li showed at the morning seminar.

With Gu Lu's current memory, which is far six to seven times better than that of ordinary people, he can clearly remember every detail in the construction concept drawing.

Gu Lu opened his tightly closed eyes quickly, took a deep breath, nodded to a dozen academicians, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Due to its geographical location, the Bohai Strait allows all port transportation routes in the Bohai Sea to pass through it, and 100,000-ton giant ships often come and go. Moreover, the Bohai Strait is also a strategic military location, and there is no possibility of building a bridge. Building an undersea tunnel is the only option.

plan."

"And the technology of sinking the south and sinking the north shield that you proposed, Mr. Lin, is the best plan for building the Bohai Tunnel in my personal opinion."

With this sentence, Gu Lu did not mean it as a compliment, but rather expressed his true inner thoughts.

"First let's talk about the buried tunnel in the southern section. In the southern section of the Bohai Strait, there are many islands. From south to north there are: South and North Changshan Island, Shihouji Island, Gaoshan Island, Tuoji Island, Da and Xiaoqin

If the shield tunneling method is used for construction on the islands, South and North Huangcheng Islands, it will definitely cause a large amount of silt accumulation, which will block the waterway, create alluvial plains, and affect the lives of the people on the islands."

"The submergence laws are different, and only very little silt is produced. Moreover, with the existence of the island, there is no need to worry about the transportation of prefabricated immersed pipes."

"We can transport the steel shell pipe sections made in the factory to the island near the tunnel, and then outfit and pour ballast concrete on the island, reducing a lot of manual transportation costs."

"In my expectation, the construction process of the entire buried tunnel should be like this..."

As soon as he got into the mood, Gu Lu completely forgot the tension and pressure that the previous academicians had given him, and he started talking without much effort.

At the dinner table, as Gu Lu told the story, everyone's expressions gradually became surprised.

Especially Academician Li, his surprise was palpable.

People of their age rarely let external objects disturb their state of mind.

But today Gu Lu gave him such an experience.

What Gu Lu said was not just to express his construction concept drawing in his own words, but also to add some unique insights of his own.

For example, the use of shield tunneling will cause a large amount of silt to accumulate around the island, and the existence of the island can reduce the transportation cost of the immersed tube tunnel.

He didn't even mention a word of these profound things in this morning's seminar.

But Gu Lu could figure it out on his own.

Still the same sentence.

If Gu Lu is an old expert with 20 to 30 years of experience in the field of engineering and construction, Academician Li would not be surprised at all if he has those insights.

But what?

Not only was Gu Lu too young, he was also a mathematics major, not engineering and architecture.

This is really surprising.

"...Mr. Li, that's all I want to say." After more than ten minutes, Gu Lu briefly stated his understanding, and then humbly asked for advice, "Mr. Li, since I am not majoring in engineering, just now

There must be many shortcomings in what I said, and I would like Mr. Li to give me your pointers."

Academician Li shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Based on what I just said, as long as you don't tell others in advance, no one will doubt that you are not an engineering student."

"Ji Changyi, I really envy him! You have such an outstanding disciple." Academician Li couldn't help but sigh. "With your talent, no matter which field you choose, you will definitely become a person at the top of the pyramid in the future.

"

Academician Li's words can be said to be a great compliment to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu quickly stood up and said he didn't dare to take it.

Academician Li waved his hand and asked Gu Lu to sit down, "That's it, no more emotion."

"I wanted to persuade you to switch to the field of engineering, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. Since I didn't meet you earlier, it means my fate has not arrived. Besides, no matter what field you are in, you can bring glory to the country, so I won't

It’s such a difficult thing to do.”

"Let's get back to the topic. Although there is a lot of my own understanding in what you just said, there are also some things that are not thorough or that do not hit the point."

Academician Li cleared his throat and said, "First, each standard pipe section of the immersed tube tunnel is composed of 8 small pipe sections. The reason is not just for load-bearing. There are also reasons for drainage, ventilation, and rupture prevention."

"besides……"

Academician Li really has a love for talents.

Not only did he point out the shortcomings in Gu Lu's views just now, but Gu Lu then asked several other technical questions one by one, and Academician Li answered the questions without any impatience.

For a moment, Gu Lu even forgot to eat, immersed in the ocean of knowledge and swimming to his heart's content without getting tired.

Due to this small episode, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when Gu Lu returned to the hotel with the academicians after lunch.

When they were about to go upstairs, Academician Li patted Gu Lu's shoulder affectionately and said, "Xiao Gu, if you have any questions you don't understand, you are welcome to ask me at any time. My room is upstairs."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Li." Gu Lu nodded heavily.

Back in the bedroom, Gu Lu rubbed his sore eyes and leaned back on the chair, sitting in a paralyzed posture.

I can't help it, I'm too tired!

Since arriving at the Bohai Sea Hydrological Research Center at around eight o'clock in the morning, Gu Lu's brain has never stopped to rest.

Always thinking, always understanding, and crazily absorbing knowledge.

Even during lunch, I discussed professional and technical issues with Academician Li for nearly an hour.

After leaning on the back of the chair and resting for a while, Gu Lu picked up the porcelain cup, made himself a cup of coffee, sat at the desk, and turned on the computer.

While observing Academician Li's construction concept drawing, I searched for some professional literature on the Internet to confirm my thoughts.

Then, I wrote down some doubts and confusions in my notebook and asked Academician Li for advice tomorrow.

Although Academician Li told Gu Lu to go to him anytime if he had any problems, Gu Lu would not just go there and nag like that.

Academician Li also needs to rest, especially for older people like them who will become sleepy if they use too much energy.

If Gu Lu encounters a problem, he will ask it, and if he encounters another problem, he will ask it again and again. If he repeats this, he will definitely wear away Academician Li's good impression of him.
