What President Gao said was more than just politeness.

For the next two days, he came every day without fail and stayed for two or three hours.

Time passed by so quickly in the busyness, and it was the weekend in the blink of an eye.

It is more troublesome to go to the city now, so Huo Tingzhou set off with Qianbao before four o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Si was not idle either. She planned to go to the town with her third uncle and uncle Zhong after breakfast.

It's not easy for my mother-in-law to come, and as a daughter-in-law I must show my appreciation.

Uncle San and Uncle Zhong were not interested.

"No need, Ah Zhong and I can go, you just rest at home."

I'm just buying some vegetables, why do I need so many people?

Besides, there are so many people in Xi'an now. If you get bumped into someone there, you will be in trouble.

Uncle Zhong also said, "Yes, Miss Sisi, people from the design institute have been coming here every day these days."

"They might come over again soon, so just stay home and relax."

"We'll just go buy some groceries and be back in a minute."

Jiang Si was just about to say that they probably wouldn't come today.

But before I could even open my mouth, someone came knocking on the door.

The door opened and it was the division commander's guard.

Jiang Si looked surprised.

After hearing the purpose of the visit, she was even more surprised.

On the way to the temple, Jiang Si asked, "Did your commander tell me what he wanted to talk to me about?"

The guard shook his head. Since the commander didn't say this, he didn't dare to ask.

After a pause, he said, "President Gao just came, but he stayed for a while and then left again."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Si knew what was going on.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the teacher's office.

Teacher Yao waved at her with a smile on his face, "Xiao Jiang, come and take a look."

He pointed to the huge blueprint spread out on the table.

"This is the first draft of the factory building sent by the design institute. President Gao asked for your review."

"Call it out for me to see?" This was a little beyond Jiang Si's imagination.

She thought the teacher called her over to discuss some stock matter.

After all, she knew that President Gao and his team had been working overtime these days to finish the design drawings.

Teacher Yao nodded, with a happy expression.

"President Gao said you have great ideas for construction. Building a factory is a big deal, so having one more person overseeing it always helps."

After saying that, Commander Yao looked over again with anticipation.

"If something doesn't seem right, or you think something is inappropriate, you must speak up. Don't be mean."

This was a matter of life and death for their Fourth Division, and there was no room for any negligence.

In other words, they can no longer afford to lose.

If he fails again this time, Commander Yao will be too ashamed to face all the soldiers and their families of the Fourth Division.

"I am fine, Master." Jiang Si knew the seriousness of the matter.

"Okay, then take your time and look at it. Don't be in a hurry." Commander Yao said and stepped aside.

When he gave up his seat, he also gave her a magnifying glass.

Jiang Si took it and walked to the table.

The drawing is very large and takes up most of the desktop.

In addition to the general plan, there are also elevations, sections, and detailed sample drawings of some floors.

There are more than ten of these in total.

Jiang Si took a deep breath and began to read them carefully one by one.

This is a very standard frame structure factory building design drawing. The design complies with the specifications and the layout is also reasonable.

As expected of the top domestic architectural design institute, Jiang Si saw its professionalism at a glance.

"Commander, has the new site for the factory been chosen?" Jiang Si asked the question that concerned her most.

"Well, I've already chosen one."

Commander Yao pulled out a stack of documents from a drawer. "This is the report from the Water Conservancy and Geology Team. Take a look."

After Jiang Si took it, she said nothing more.

Commander Yao did not disturb her and went directly to another room, giving her enough time and space.

This wait lasted almost three hours.

Just when Commander Yao was thinking about whether he should go in and persuade her to rest for a while.

Jiang Si's voice rang out from the inner room, "Master, I've finished reading it."

"How is it? Do you see any problem?"

Commander Yao didn't know why, but he inexplicably trusted her.

Jiang Si nodded.

Since she had already seen the problem, she didn't intend to hide it.

"There are two reservoirs near the newly selected plant site, and the groundwater level is high."

"The shallow soil may not have sufficient bearing capacity and may be prone to settlement later on."

"So the foundation has to be dug down a little further, to this position."

Jiang Si drew a circle on the blueprint with a pen. "It's not enough to just dig here. We need to compact the ground with gravel."

"This question is simple." Commander Yao took note of her words and signaled her to continue with his eyes.

Jiang Si opened the structural drawings. "The span of the factory building is so large, four meters per support point is not enough. This spacing cannot withstand the side pressure of the typhoon, and the roof trusses will easily deform and collapse later."

As for the solution, Jiang Si also said, "Change it to one every two meters, and add two diagonal steel bars here."

Teacher Yao frowned, "Two meters per one, won't the cost be much higher?"

"Yes, but there's nothing I can do."

In this era, the purity of steel bars is not enough, so we can only adopt "redundant design".

This will significantly improve the ability to resist risks.

Of course...the cost of production will be correspondingly higher.

Jiang Si said, "Based on the current design, it shouldn't be a big problem to withstand typhoons below level 15. But if it exceeds level 15, we won't have any problems."

"Like you said, we can't afford to lose anymore, so we can't save this money!"

The reason why he was so determined was because Jiang Si knew.

Four years later, Qiongzhou Island is about to face the strongest typhoon in the history of the People's Republic of China.

Since then, redundant design has been officially incorporated into the field of architecture.

Commander Yao was silent for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Anything else?"
