Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 ”Vertical Forest” Skyscraper!

(Many people are questioning the construction speed being too fast, arguing that there are no workers or cranes, dear readers, please use your imagination, open your minds, this is a black technology novel, flying cars have already appeared, so why can’t there be infrastructure black technology? You’re still thinking about workers? That’s too weak, isn’t it? I haven’t replied previously because this is a subplot. In the future, Jade Island will gradually unveil its black technology tree! Covering every aspect of daily life with black technology, of course, including infrastructure black technology, 3D printing technology, material black technology can all make construction simple. Moreover, Jade Island has never officially opened to the public, only in parts, so how do they know these buildings on Jade Island are new constructions? Anyway, everything is black technology! Actually, the focus of this book is black technology and island development. In the future, there will be various islands, all under Jiang Cheng’s name, creating an island empire. The large world setting is also to develop more islands. This book doesn’t follow the route of invading other countries and seizing island territories. As for any irrationality brought by such a big world, don’t dwell on it, I won’t write that stuff! Remember! The core of this book is black technology and island development!)

At this moment, in Jiang Cheng’s sight, appeared three uniquely styled buildings, and clearly marked at their building level was ”Level Three Buildings”.

These are skyscrapers randomly gifted by the system after Jiang Cheng passed to Lv2, now, they are just right for building Laputa City CBD. The only thing that makes Jiang Cheng’s heart ache is their exorbitant price, each one costing over 100 million USD.

At this time, Jiang Cheng’s gaze was fixed on one of the green skyscrapers, which was also the most attractive to him.

Vertical Forest!

Vertical Forest, sounds like a forest, but in fact, it is a skyscraper completely enveloped by green vegetation, and can be considered a black technology building of the system.

Of course, Jiang Cheng has heard of such green buildings before, but due to complex construction and material difficulties, most of the world’s major forest buildings are just superficial and can’t really be crowned as forest buildings.

However, when this building appeared in the black technology system, Jiang Cheng realized that his opportunity to let Laputa City shine on the world stage had arrived!

The model of the building in front of him looks like a vertical ”green cube”, covered with vegetation, lush grass, and abundant trees.

This vertical forest skyscraper is approximately 288 meters high, with 6000 royal palm trees planted throughout, 3000 areca nut trees, and more than 100,000 layered plants and shrubs.

All these trees will completely cover an area of 60,000 sqm, not only can they absorb 250 tons of carbon dioxide annually, but also release 600 kg of oxygen daily.

Meanwhile, this Forest Mansion can also increase air humidity, diminish urban noise, and create a beneficial environment for the workers and residents here.

The ”Vertical Forest” has its own irrigation system, using recycled natural rainwater to maintain the growth of trees, and can also utilize its wind power and solar power facilities to provide energy for the entire building.

Additionally, the loads of trees on the entire building constitute a relatively complete ecosystem, which will attract numerous birds to inhabit, allowing people living within to hear clear bird calls every day.

As soon as he laid eyes on the ”Vertical Forest”, Jiang Cheng was deeply attracted by its perfect integration with nature!

This is not merely a building, but an art piece in alignment with nature!

For him, this is truly the perfect office space for human work, and he firmly believes that working in such a place will greatly enhance work efficiency!

Jiang Cheng imagines that if such an office building is displayed to the world, it will cause a massive sensation!

The shock effect it brings is not inferior to flying cars, perhaps even surpasses them, this is completely an architectural revolution, an architectural miracle worth writing into history!

”Whew...”

Jiang Cheng let out a deep breath, calmly easing his emotional excitement.

He couldn’t help it, the skyscraper in front of him was just too perfect, standing out compared to those being constructed around the world.

The current world architecture history is all moving toward luxury and splendor, although impressive from the outside, it is quite uncomfortable for workers living inside.

In Jiang Cheng’s view, those so-called high-tech skyscrapers are nothing more than superficial ”steel prisons”, relying on air conditioning to adjust temperature every day, it’s not healthy, air conditioning disease has already become commonplace among city employees!

And this Vertical Forest in front of him is vastly different, working in this forest requires no external temperature regulation like air conditioning, its inherent nature of regulating temperature can perfectly maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity.

The green vegetation covering the skyscraper and its surface forms a natural green barrier, effectively blocking the scorching sunlight outside. When the outdoor temperature exceeds 30 degrees, under the regulation of these plants, it can completely drop to a body comfort level of 20 degrees.

Additionally, this green vegetation can block wind and sand, filter particulates in the air, playing a role in air purification.

Overall, this Vertical Forest truly lives up to its name because it essentially stands a vast forest vertically, which purifies city air while saving a lot of planting space, truly achieving two goals with one effort!

Jiang Cheng’s gaze was fixed tightly on this splendid building, his eyes glowing, he was already eager to construct this skyscraper.

Below it, there was some related information about this building.

[Name]: ”Vertical Forest” Skyscraper

[Parameters]: Building height 288 meters, 91 floors, elevators X12, underground garages X2, irrigation system X1, solar power generation system X1, wind power generation system X1, other supporting facilities X1

[Area]: Construction area 1,080,000 square meters, land area 13,200 square meters

[Cost]: 109 million USD

[Time taken]: 12 days

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue, but that’s just it.

For such high-tech, high-standard skyscrapers, Jiang Cheng was actually mentally prepared. Since it’s to attract world attention, some expenses are inevitable.

Moreover, with such a comfortable environment in this Vertical Forest, Jiang Cheng believes that once this building is announced, world-renowned enterprises will compete for spots to set up here.

And when that time comes, even if Jiang Cheng only collects rent, it wouldn’t take long to break even.

So, for the current expenditure, Jiang Cheng had no hesitation, he directly clicked the ”Construct” button.

”Beep... Please choose a construction site.”

Upon hearing the system prompt, Jiang Cheng set his sights on a floodplain at the Yunpan River Estuary, bordered by the Yunpan River to the north and overlooking Blue Moon Bay to the south.

It was the perfect location for constructing a skyscraper, seeing this, Jiang Cheng unhesitatingly clicked to confirm.

Having completed the construction of the Vertical Forest, Jiang Cheng then turned his gaze to the other two skyscrapers.

One was a skyscraper resembling a funnel, the whole building looked extremely irrational, yet it conveyed a sci-fi beauty, and the most surprising thing was that the funnel portion on top of the building could slowly rotate, which is simply mind-blowing!

You should know that skyscrapers as large as this weigh ten thousand tons or more, it’s absolutely impossible to levitate and rotate them.

But this is still from the system’s black technology...

Even the impossible has become possible!
