This new composite material exhibits astonishing strength and toughness, seemingly a masterpiece of the perfect fusion of nature and technology. At a microscopic level, its molecular structure is tightly interwoven, forming an indestructible grid. This unique structure gives it extraordinary compressive strength. No matter how intense the pressure, the molecules within the material cling tightly together, holding their ground and refusing to yield. Its resilience is even more astonishing when faced with impact. Like a resilient spring, it absorbs and dissipates the energy of the impact. Whether it's a sudden impact from a heavy object or a high-speed impact, it miraculously absorbs these destructive forces, remaining virtually unscathed. In laboratory simulations, a plate made of this material was placed in a massive press, with the pressure continuously increased until the dial reached its limit. The material remained intact, showing no cracks or deformation. Then, it was mounted on a track and struck by a high-speed metal ball. With a resounding bang, the metal ball instantly deformed and shattered, while the impacted material remained only a shallow dent, its overall structure remaining remarkably strong. This ability to withstand tremendous pressure and impact makes this material an excellent choice for building fortifications and important buildings, as if it were a treasure tailor-made for Xiao Yi's base construction.
This remarkable material also possesses a remarkable elasticity. When you gently touch it, you can sense a potential rebound force within its surface. This elasticity plays a crucial role in cushioning earthquakes. When the ground begins to shake violently and powerful seismic waves impact, ordinary building materials would instantly break and shatter. However, this unique composite material acts like a giant spring, flexing and expanding with the ground's undulations. It absorbs and dissipates the immense energy of an earthquake, preventing the building from immediate collapse. Its elastic structure cleverly distributes seismic forces, preventing concentrated stresses that could cause structural damage. Imagine a structure constructed with this material placed on a test bench simulated by an earthquake. As the shaking intensifies, it will gently sway and deform, effectively mitigating the damage. When the seismic waves subside and the ground returns to calm, the material will quickly rebound to its original shape, as if the thrilling tremor was merely a temporary test, while the material successfully safeguards the building. This excellent buffering ability demonstrated during earthquakes undoubtedly provides Xiao Yi's base with a reliable guarantee in the unstable geological environment, giving survivors more hope of survival in the face of natural disasters.
With this miraculous new material, Xiao Yi enthusiastically rallied the survivors, and the construction of the base began in earnest. Before the first rays of morning sun had fully penetrated, Xiao Yi was already standing on a cleared field, outlining the grand blueprint for the base. His voice was firm and powerful, his eyes filled with hope for the future, a call of hope for every survivor. The survivors sprang into action, their faces still etched with fatigue and wear, yet now brimming with energy. Some were responsible for carrying materials, the heavy new composite panels seemingly weighing less in their hands. With determined steps, they advanced towards the construction site, step by step. The construction workers, drawing on their skills and experience, began to erect the base's framework. They expertly used their tools, cutting and joining the panels, each movement imbued with concentration and meticulousness. Amidst the sparks of fire, the base's outline gradually took shape. Engineers frantically calculated and planned, ensuring that every structure met safety standards. They frequently communicated with the workers, offering suggestions for improvement, striving for perfection. The women and children were also busy, bringing water and food to the busy people, contributing to the construction of the base in their own way. The construction site was in full swing, the roar of machines and the shouts of the people intertwined, playing a song of construction full of hope. Sweat drenched everyone's clothes, but no one complained, no one stopped, and everyone had a common goal in mind: to quickly build this home that could shelter them. In this land full of hope, Xiao Yi and the survivors worked together, using their hands and faith to turn their dream base into reality bit by bit.
They fully understood the importance of a solid foundation to the entire site, and therefore, from the outset of construction, they devoted all their efforts to building it. First, Xiao Yi led a team of professionals in a comprehensive and detailed geological survey of the site, analyzing key factors such as soil type, bearing capacity, and groundwater levels. This provided accurate data for subsequent foundation construction. Based on the survey results, they decided to use piling to reinforce the foundation. Operators used large pile drivers to drive each sturdy reinforced concrete pile deep into the ground until it touched the solid soil or bedrock. Like giants' feet, these piles firmly rooted in the earth, supporting the immense weight of the site and effectively enhancing the foundation's bearing capacity. During the piling process, the spacing and verticality of the piles were strictly controlled to ensure that each pile provided optimal support. After the piles were driven, a thick reinforced concrete foundation slab was poured atop them, forming a tightly connected unit and further enhancing the foundation's stability and earthquake resistance. Furthermore, they employed a special earthquake-resistant structural design. A number of seismic isolation supports are installed at the foundation of the building. When an earthquake occurs, these seismic isolation supports can effectively isolate the transmission of seismic waves and reduce the impact of the earthquake on the main body of the building.
