Chapter 166: Unlock the construction skill, design the center, and prepare for the barbecue
After planning the area, Li Yang picked up a pencil and prepared to draw the envisioned technical center on the drawing one by one.
But when he actually started to draw, he found that the architectural design drawings were very different from the mechanical drawings he used to work with.
Mechanical drawings require precise details, and each component must be marked with detailed dimensions.
Architectural design pays more attention to the overall layout and needs to consider many factors such as lighting, ventilation, fire protection, etc.
Fortunately, these two types of drawings also have something in common.
They all follow basic principles such as proportion, symmetry, and hierarchy.
And in a sense, a building is also assembled from countless "parts".
Thinking of this, Li Yang's thoughts gradually became clear.
He first drew the overall outline of the technology center on the blueprint, and then began to fill in the various functional areas.
Just as Li Yang was concentrating on his creation, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
[Ding! Architectural design skill has been unlocked, current proficiency: 0, please continue practicing!]
[Ding! Successfully draw the building elevation, architectural design proficiency +10, current proficiency: 10]
With the support of the system, Li Yang's attainments in architectural design have improved by leaps and bounds.
In just less than half an hour, he drew dozens of drawings and designed every aspect of the technical center in great detail.
The layout of the five major areas: office area, research area, experimental area, processing area, and logistics area have been repeatedly scrutinized and optimized.
[Ding! Your architectural design proficiency has reached the intermediate level. Current proficiency: 50. You have unlocked the building physical environment control technology. Please check!]
Along with the third prompt tone, a large amount of architectural knowledge flooded into Li Yang's mind like a tide.
He seemed to be in a huge library, and every book was telling him valuable knowledge.
The first chapter Li Yang read was about lighting design.
It turns out that factors such as the building's orientation, window size, and glass material will affect the indoor lighting effect.
South-facing windows allow in plenty of sunlight, while north-facing windows protect against the summer heat.
In cold areas, skylights can also be installed to bring warm sunlight into the room.
Next is the ventilation design.
Li Yang learned that by properly arranging the air inlets and outlets, it is possible to utilize natural wind to create a through-the-hall breeze, thus allowing air to circulate inside the building.
In hot and humid areas, high windows can be installed to use the thermal pressure and wind pressure effects to expel the hot air from the room.
In addition to lighting and ventilation, Li Yang also has a new understanding of building thermal insulation.
It turns out that adding insulation materials to walls and roofs can greatly reduce the energy consumption of buildings.
In cold areas, you should also prevent warm air from escaping and cold air from seeping in.
Finally, Li Yang also learned how to optimize the sound insulation of a building.
By using sound insulation materials in walls, floors, doors and windows, the spread of noise can be effectively blocked.
Especially in key areas such as research areas and experimental areas, good sound insulation design is necessary to create a quiet working environment for scientific researchers.
With the help of this new knowledge, Li Yang is more adept at designing the technology center.
He constantly modified the drawings and adjusted the layout of each area, striving to maximize the use of building environment control technology.
He first optimized the orientation of each area and made use of natural light as much as possible.
The office area is located in the south direction to enjoy the most sunlight.
The study area is located in the southeast corner, which can avoid the western sun while enjoying the view of the rising sun.
Lighting windows are also reasonably arranged in other areas according to functional requirements.
Then, Li Yang improved the design of the ventilation system.
Openable windows are arranged on all sides of the building to create natural ventilation by utilizing wind pressure differences.
In the logistics area, he even planned an indoor garden, using the transpiration of plants to regulate the indoor microclimate.
In terms of thermal insulation, Li Yang carefully selected building materials.
All exterior walls are made of new thermal insulation blocks and filled with high-efficiency thermal insulation materials, which greatly reduces heat loss.
The roof is covered with a thermal insulation coating and a green layer, which can reduce temperature in summer and keep warm in winter.
The doors and windows also use multi-cavity double-layer insulating glass, which integrates multiple functions such as lighting, heat insulation, and sound insulation.
Taking into account the confidentiality requirements of the technical center, Li Yang took great pains in the sound insulation design.
The four walls of the study area are filled with sound insulation cotton and encapsulated with multiple layers of sound insulation gypsum board.
All doors and windows are also fitted with soundproofing felt and sealing strips.
In this way, even if experiments with huge noise are carried out in the experimental area, it will not affect the scientific research work in other areas at all.
[Ding! Building physical environment control technology has been successfully applied, architectural design proficiency +20, current proficiency: 70]
Following the system prompt, Li Yang completed the design plan for the technical center.
Every detail on the drawing has been repeatedly considered and optimized by him.
Although it was already two or three o'clock in the morning, he didn't feel tired at all.
Long hours of mental work made him feel hungry.
Li Yang stood up, stretched, and moved his limbs which were sore from sitting for a long time.
He walked to the window, looked at the quiet night outside, and suddenly he had the urge to eat some barbecue to satisfy his craving.
In his previous life, whenever he worked late at night and felt hungry, he would call up a few good friends to go to a roadside stall to eat skewers and drink, and chat until dawn.
That kind of pleasant time always allows him to temporarily forget the pressure of life and work.
Now it was the 1960s, and barbecue stalls naturally had not yet appeared, but he still found a way to satisfy his appetite.
Li Yang did what he said. He closed his eyes and entered his own little world.
Just find a fat chicken, a fat pig, and a strong cow.
These animals are his favorite barbecue ingredients.
Li Yang just waved his hand lightly, and the chicken automatically jumped onto the chopping board, allowing a sharp butcher knife to slice it into even pieces.
Soon after, the fat pigs and fat cows also came forward one after another, and under Li Yang's control, they contributed their most essential parts.
Soon, the chopping board was piled with tender and juicy chicken legs, spare ribs, beef belly and other high-quality ingredients.
Li Yang's passion for barbecue is no less than his passion for scientific research.
He produced several large plates, placed the chicken, duck, fish and meat neatly on them, and then ordered strings of bamboo sticks and condiments such as fennel, cumin, chili powder and so on to be automatically threaded on.
Finally, he took out some fresh vegetables, cut them into small pieces with a knife, and decorated the skewers with them.
When all the ingredients were ready, Li Yang snapped his fingers, exited the small world, then brought the stove to the door, ready to start grilling.
