Chapter 221 The building is built!

Author: September Sauce

The smooth output of all-terrain excavator technology is of course indispensable to Chen Nian's contribution, but at the same time, Qiu Mai also played an indispensable role.

In fact, in most designs, Chen Nian only put forward some directional suggestions, and when it comes to use, it is basically output by Qiumai.

This made Chen Nian certain that the other party must have potential above his own level.

She may start slowly and not be as stunning as Wang Jiancheng as soon as she takes action, but her foundation is very solid and she will never lose to anyone in her later development.

Therefore, Chen Nian also began to consider whether to let her join the Spark Team after she completed the Mountain Relocation Project and had sufficient professional qualities.

But before making this decision, Chen Nian wanted to confirm some more things.

At the same time, the United States.

Quietly, such a piece of news suddenly appeared on the front pages of major advertising media in the United States.

555 Fulton Company decided to challenge the Guinness World Record. They will spend 10 days on a vacant lot in Texas to build a 20-story high-rise building that can pass official inspections.

If it cannot be completed, 555 Fulton will invest all profits in the next 10 years into charity.

At first, the news didn't attract much attention.

However, as this news continues to be mentioned in major entertainment programs, its popularity has gradually increased.

Of course, when it comes to mentioning it, most people tend to laugh at it.

You should know that at this time, the average construction period of a 20-story residential building in the United States was about 40 months. In other words, it would take them more than 3 years to complete a standard building.

Of course, not all projects take that long. On some special and urgent projects, they have also set a record of building a high-rise building within a month.

But no matter what, 10 days is still a bit too exaggerated.

On the Internet, there are endless discussions about this "hype".

"It takes 10 days to build a building? I understand. They are probably talking about the kind of wooden building for squirrels to live in, right? I have one in my backyard. It took me a lot of effort. If I can build it in 10 days,

, that is indeed very powerful.”

"10 days? Is 555 Fulton crazy? I heard that their financial situation is not very good. Is it because they want to use hype to maintain the popularity?"

"Your information is too backward. 555 Fulton is no longer 555 Fulton. It has been acquired by the Huaxia Investment Group. Now it is the Huaxia people who are sending the news."

"Chinese people? Now that I say that, I'm suddenly interested. Maybe they can really do it?"

"How is that possible! They are Chinese, not aliens."

"Yes, they do overestimate themselves. Maybe the results in recent years have gone to their heads."

Comments were being refreshed one by one, and the man sitting in front of the computer had a smile on his face.

His name is Duck, and he is a reporter for the New York Times.

——

Reporter in the entertainment sector.

His daily job is to collect interesting and curious news everywhere, such as whose dog was lost and finally found in the neighbor's bed, whose father cheated on his son's girlfriend, and which teacher provided students with

"Special tutoring after class"

some type of.

In short, these news may be interesting to readers, but for him, they have long been bored.

He eagerly wanted to find some other materials and other inspirations to revitalize his column and give himself some new changes.

But for a long time, he had been in a state of not getting what he wanted.

But today, he saw this opportunity.

A house for 10 days!

What a perfect subject.

Not only is it perfect for its gimmick, but it is also perfect for the era in which it was created.

Yes, in the United States now, the real estate issue can be said to be a hot spot among hot spots. Even if you don’t buy a house, overwhelming information will continue to tell you how hot the real estate market is now, how fast housing prices are rising, and how much it costs to build a house.

How difficult it is.

And now, 555 Fulton has made their own choice in this trend.

They actually wanted to bet the entire company for a chance to become famous.

Stupid - yet extremely smart.

They don’t have much profit anyway, so they can avoid taxes by making large donations.

With such a smart company as the protagonist, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

He clearly realized that he had to fully cooperate with the gimmick that 555 Fulton worked so hard to create, and the best way to create this gimmick was to record the entire process.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the resources at the TV station. Otherwise, he really wants to broadcast the entire challenge.

That will definitely explode.

So, with this idea in mind, Duck started his preparations.

He first prepared himself professional video equipment, and of course, a memory card with a large space, enough for him to record 480 hours of uninterrupted video.

Immediately afterwards, he purchased a large amount of instant food and wilderness survival supplies.

Including tents, stoves, emergency lights, and even a small-caliber pistol.

He plans to live next to the construction site and witness the challenge with his own eyes.

During the preparation process, Duck was extremely excited - even though he knew that this challenge would definitely fail.

Yes, what does 555 Fulton’s failure have to do with him?

On the contrary, exposing their arrogant lies will be your own success.

After anxiously waiting for more than ten days, when the popularity of this news reached its peak, the challenge finally officially began.

There were many journalists like Duck who came to the construction site for "live broadcast", and the atmosphere at the scene was joyful and peaceful.

Everyone seemed to regard this report as a rare team-building activity, and some even brought their families and children to have a picnic on the nearby grass.

And the 555 Fulton is also extremely user-friendly.

Not only did they provide free drinking water and fast food to reporters, they even had dedicated personnel responsible for maintaining order at the scene and installing night lighting.

This made Dak once again confirm that this was a large-scale show event.

Therefore, he also relaxed and planned to harvest the easy fruits of success.

On November 17th, a week before Thanksgiving, various large-scale equipment began to arrive.

At the same time, a long line of cars arrived in the middle of the construction site, pulling materials that Duck couldn't understand.

It was not until November 19th that the preparations for entering the site were completed.

This made Dak a little helpless.

It seems that this year's Thanksgiving can only be spent in the wild.

However, this is a rare experience

On November 20th, the Guinness team entered the venue and the challenge officially began.

With the first roar of the large machinery, Duck started his recording.

"Hi everyone, this is our old friend Duck."

"As you can see, our recording has begun."

"555 Fulton, are they madmen or geniuses? Can they succeed in building a house in 10 days?"

"Okay, I think you guys are a little impatient, so look behind us, their work has already begun."

"According to my experience, they should prepare concrete and cement first. Yes, they are doing it."

"However, their steps seem to be a little different."

"They are assembling a huge piece of equipment. As you can see, this piece of equipment is hundreds of meters long."

"Wait! What are you doing?!"

"Oh my God, is this just part of a giant robot?"

"Fortunately, this is not just an aerial platform that can move freely. It seems to be driven by a crane."

"Okay, the construction work has officially started. It is now 4 p.m., 8 hours have passed, and there is not much time left for 555 Fulton."

"It's the first day of the challenge, 11 o'clock in the evening."

"I couldn't believe what I was seeing. They had completed the foundation and the four floors above ground."

"It's now the second day of the challenge. It's 8 a.m., and a full 24 hours have passed since the challenge started."

"And 555 Fulton, they've completed 11 floors above ground."

"Oh my god. This is magic."

"This is Dak, it's the second day of the challenge, 8pm. The challenge time has passed 36 hours, yes, the challenge is halfway over."

"They have completed the construction of all 20-story buildings and are in the process of capping them."

"Oh my God, I don't know how to describe it."

"These Chinese people are simply born architects."

"So precise, so efficient, so beautiful."

"I'm Dak, it's the fourth day of the challenge, and the challenge lasts 71 hours."

"The building is finished."

"Yes, they even spent six hours picking up construction debris."
