But Dean Gao's words were not just a polite remark.
For the next two days, he came over every day without fail to stay for two or three hours.
Time flies by in the midst of our busy lives, and before we know it, it's the weekend.
It's quite inconvenient to go to the city center now, so Huo Tingzhou set off with Qianbao before four in the morning.
Jiang Si wasn't idle either; she planned to go to town with her third uncle and Uncle Zhong after breakfast.
My mother-in-law has finally come, so as her daughter-in-law, I definitely have to show my appreciation.
But Third Uncle and Zhong Uncle did not agree.
"No need, Ah Zhong and I will go. You stay home and rest."
It's just buying groceries, why do we need so many people?
Besides, there are so many people at the market now. What if we bump into someone or get hurt there?
Uncle Zhong also said, "Yes, Miss Si Si, the people from the design institute have been coming over every day these past few days."
"They might come back later, so just stay home and relax."
"We'll be back in a bit after we buy some groceries."
Jiang Si was about to say that they probably wouldn't be coming today.
Before I could even speak, someone came and knocked on the door.
The door opened, revealing the division commander's bodyguard.
Jiang Si looked surprised.
She was even more surprised after hearing the reason for their visit.
On the way there, Jiang Si asked, "Did your commander say what he wanted to see me about?"
The guard shook his head; the division commander hadn't said it, and he hadn't dared to ask.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Dean Gao just came by, but left after a while."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si understood what was going on.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the division commander's office...
Commander Yao smiled and waved to her, "Little Jiang, come and take a look."
He pointed to the huge blueprint spread out on the table.
"This is the initial draft of the factory building sent by the design institute. Dean Gao specifically asked you to take a look."
"You specifically asked me to look at your name?" This was a bit beyond Jiang Si's expectations.
She thought her teacher had called her over to discuss investing.
After all, she knew that Dean Gao and his team had been working overtime these past few days to rush the design drawings.
Commander Yao nodded, his expression showing agreement with Rong Yan.
"Dean Gao said you have a lot of ideas about architecture. Building a factory is a big deal, and it's always good to have more people to take a look."
After saying that, Commander Yao looked over with anticipation.
"If there's anything wrong or you feel something's not right, you must say so. Don't be shy."
This was a matter of life and death for their Fourth Division, and could not be taken lightly in the slightest.
In other words, they can't afford to lose anymore.
If they fail again this time, Commander Yao will have no face to face all the soldiers and their families in the Fourth Division.
“I understand, Commander.” Jiang Si knew the seriousness of the matter.
"Alright, take your time looking at it, no rush." Commander Yao said and stepped aside.
While giving up her seat, they also gave her a magnifying glass.
Jiang Si took it and walked to the table.
The blueprints were huge, taking up most of the desktop.
In addition to the site plan, there are elevations, sections, and detailed drawings of some floors.
These together number more than ten.
Jiang Si took a deep breath and began to carefully read through them one by one.
This is a very standard frame structure factory design drawing. The design conforms to the specifications and the layout is also very reasonable.
As expected of the top architectural design institute in the country, Jiang Si could see its professionalism at a glance.
"Commander, has the new site for the factory been selected?" Jiang Si asked the question that she was most concerned about.
"Yes, I've already made my choice."
Commander Yao took out a stack of documents from his drawer. "This is a report issued by the water conservancy and geology team. Take a look."
Jiang Si took it and didn't say anything more.
Commander Yao didn't disturb her and went directly to another room, giving her ample time and space.
We waited for almost two hours.
Just as Commander Yao was thinking about whether he should go in and persuade her to rest for a while,
Jiang Si's voice came from the inner room, "Commander, I've finished reading it."
"So, did you spot any problems?"
Commander Yao didn't know why, but he inexplicably trusted her.
Jiang Si nodded.
Now that she had figured out the problem, she didn't intend to hide it.
"There are two reservoirs near the newly selected factory site, and the groundwater level is high."
"The bearing capacity of the shallow soil may not be sufficient, and it is prone to settlement later."
"So the foundation needs to be dug down a bit more, to this position."
Jiang Si drew a circle on the drawing board. "Digging this far isn't enough. We need to compact the bottom with gravel."
“This is a simple question.” Commander Yao noted down her words and gestured for her to continue.
Jiang Si opened the structural drawings. "The factory span is so large that a support point every four meters is not enough. This kind of spacing cannot withstand the pressure from the side of the typhoon, and the roof frame is prone to deformation and collapse later."
As for the solution, Jiang Si also said, "Change it to 2.5 meters per section, and add two more diagonal steel bars here."
Commander Yao frowned. "Two and a half meters each, wouldn't that exceed the cost by a lot?"
Yes, but there's nothing I can do about it.
In this era, the purity of steel bars was insufficient, so a 'redundant design' had to be adopted.
This will significantly enhance our ability to withstand risks.
Of course... the cost will also be correspondingly higher.
Jiang Si said, "If we look at the existing design, it shouldn't be a big problem to withstand typhoons below level 15, but it's hard to say about typhoons above level 15."
