The time left for Ye Qing was only 21 hours.
Now, Ye Qing needed to determine how many iron trees he needed in the exhibition hall.
When he returned to the exhibition hall, there were only a few workers in the hall. They were racing against time as they carried out the restoration work.
The chief designer, Xiao Jun, was at the table outside the exhibition hall. He was arranging the iron pillars according to the blueprint.
The district chief, Wen Xiaowei, was making a phone call not far away. Ye Qing walked up and waited for him to finish the call.
When Wen Xiaowei saw Ye Qing, he nodded to Ye Qing and hung up the phone. He then asked Ye Qing what was the matter.
Ye Qing took out his mobile phone and showed him the photos of the landscape trees that had just been taken one by one.
Mayor Wen Xiaowei's face was filled with confusion. He really didn't understand why Ye Qing showed him these plants.
Two minutes later.
Wen Xiaowei's eyes widened to the limit. He hugged Ye Qing's arm and shook it, "Mr Ye, you, you, you ~ your company really has this technology?"
"Do you think I would joke at this time?" Ye Qing smiled confidently, "Originally, our factory used metal to make some tree trunks and placed them in the factory as landscape trees. They looked very realistic."
"When I walked outside and admired the landscape trees, I suddenly had an idea."
"I'll go and process the iron trees in the factory. Then I'll design the branches according to the exhibition hall. It can completely replace the 300 iron pillars."
"Old Xiao ~ Old Xiao!" Mayor Wen Xiaowei suddenly yelled out.
… … …
Ten minutes later, Ye Qing finished taking pictures of the entire structure of the exhibition hall. He entered Lagonda and went straight to Zhongyun City.
On the way, Ye Qing called the Master Artisan in charge of the factory. He asked him to prepare the metal and smelt it immediately.
Aside from not being able to stop on any section of the highway, Ye Qing, in order to obtain more material, whenever he saw any strange looking trees, he would get out of the car and take a picture with the 3D camera.
When Ye Qing returned to the factory at Dragon Creek Beach, nearly a hundred 3D drawings of trees had been added to the 3D camera.
Eight Master Artisans stood by the metal smelting center, waiting for orders. They were going to modify the blueprint, adjust the proportions to the right size, and make sure that the branches of the trees were just right against the pipes.
With the entire three-dimensional drawings of the exhibition hall in hand, these iron trees involved in the mechanics of metal materials were not difficult for the Master Craftsman.
Of course, this did not mean that there were no problems in the process of casting iron trees. For example, the leaves of iron trees were not easy to handle.
There was a tree with a million leaves on it, close together. It would take a lot of time for the metal smelting center to forge the leaves together.
However, if he were to remove all of these leaves, he would only be left with a bare torso, which would definitely lose a lot of its luster.
Therefore, Ye Qing would not give up on making leaves.
Making leaves …
This was too simple. It was so simple that Ye Qing could not figure out what kind of skill was involved in this.
He ordered the Metal Smelting Center to forge a set of leaf molds. A few peons poured the aluminum alloy solution inside, and after more than ten seconds, they were able to harvest a large number of metal leaves.
If he wanted to speed things up, he could open 50 leaf-shaped cavities in the mold at the same time. One tree to make 10 molds. When the time came, he would hang the leaves on the tree trunk. When the cold air from the air conditioner blew, the leaves would rustle beautifully.
Ye Qing also put the rare metal engraving machine to use. Among the trees selected in the three-dimensional camera, there were a few fruit trees. Ye Qing carved some peaches and pears and hung them on the tree trunk.
The leaves and fruits were made of aluminum alloy. As for the branches that supported the pipes, a small amount of titanium was added to increase the strength and toughness of the branches.
Aluminum-Titanium alloy was one of the more mature titanium alloy products on the market. Its craftsmanship was not a secret. All kinds of craftsmanship formulas for different strengths and properties could be bought on the market.
Ye Qing bought a large pile of common titanium alloy craftsmanship formulas that could be bought on the market.
Those that could not be bought, no matter how much money he spent, would not be bought. That was the livelihood of a company. For example, Ye Qing's nickel-titanium memory alloy craftsmanship formula could not be sold even if he were to die of poverty.
More than 30 types of leaf molds were first created by the metal smelting center. Then they were immediately handed over to the peons to create the leaves using the aluminum electric smelting furnace.
The metal formula was changed and the aluminum titanium alloy smelting began.
At five o 'clock in the afternoon, the first Luohan Pine with curly branches was created by the smelting center.
Ten minutes later, another breadfruit tree with a huge tree crown and strange branches that resembled tree roots was created.
Twenty minutes later, an umbrella-like Dragonblood Tree was created.
Six hours later, the thirty-fifth Ginkgo Tree was created.
These Sago Trees had fine veins, each one more unique than the last. When they were neatly arranged on the ground, Ye Qing felt as if he had entered a world of steel.
The original plan for the exhibition hall was to install 300 steel pillars. Now, 36 Sago Trees could be used to replace them.
This was the number calculated by the five master artisans strictly according to the blueprint. Moreover, each Sago Tree's branches had been cleverly modified to ensure the most logical mechanical structure between them and the main trunk.
For the last Sago Tree, Ye Qing was not in a hurry to start production. Instead, he had the peons move the Sago Trees to the outside of the factory. There were already 37 trucks parked on the small road. Ye Qing had asked his father to arrange for a flatbed truck.
For the last Sago Tree, Ye Qing wanted to make it the star of the exhibition hall. It would be placed in the center of the canopy to open the eyes of the foreign tourists.
That was originally the exhibition hall. It was a large open space where Changwei Group's giant 3D projection was installed. The exhibition hall was a disaster area for the installation of steel pillars. Now, Ye Qing only needed a single tree to solve the problem.
The hall was a dome structure, so the trees needed to be abnormally tall and leafy.
There were many abnormally tall trees. California Redwoods could grow up to a hundred meters tall. Not to mention supporting the canopy, they could even pierce through the exhibition hall.
Ye Qing did the opposite. He chose a tree that was not tall, but had great symbolic and spiritual significance.
Welcome Guest Pine!
After zooming in, the stunning Welcome Guest Pine was incomparably stunning.
Moreover, this tree was made of nickel-titanium memory alloy, the same material used for the anti-smuggling boat's hull. It was a shrunken version of nickel-titanium memory alloy. This way, it would have enough strength and toughness to support the entire hall.
At one o 'clock at night, all the Sago Trees were installed. Ye Qing's Lagonda drove at the front. It was like a dragon's head as it led the convoy out.
The people at the exhibition hall had already made countless calls, anxiously inquiring about the situation. It was only when Ye Qing led the convoy on the road that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It was one o 'clock in the morning. The road was empty enough for a plane to land. It would only take two hours to reach the exhibition hall on the highway.
Along Huanhai Avenue, Ye Qing cruised at a fixed speed of 100 km/h. These trucks were all Dongfeng Tianlong and Jiefang 6. They could run more than 100 km/h with heavy loads. Each truck was pulling a Sago Tree that weighed a few hundred kilograms. It was too easy to keep up with the speed.
Of course, for safety reasons, the distance between each truck was one kilometer.
However …
They had just entered the entrance of the highway and had yet to pass through the toll booth. Ye Qing found that there were temporary checkpoints at the intersection in front of him. More than ten police cars and a SWAT anti-riot vehicle were parked by the side of the road.
Four temporary speed bumps were installed on the road. Five traffic policemen wearing reflective vests and holding glow-in-the-dark batons were waving at him, indicating for him to stop by the side of the road.
Behind them, there were two armed SWAT officers with assault rifles on their left and right.
"What a grand scene …" When Ye Qing hit the right turn signal, he subconsciously took out his phone and snapped a few photos as a souvenir.
Sudden inspections were very common in the city. Now, they were at the entrance of the highway, and they were armed. Ye Qing guessed that this was a disaster caused by the creation of a hygienic and civilized city. He wanted to create a grand scene to intimidate them.
Ye Qing parked the car and lowered the window. Immediately, a traffic policeman came forward with a breathalyzer and saluted him, asking him to show his driver's license and blow on his breath.
Ye Qing blew on his breath and then handed over his driver's license. He looked in the mirror and found that a truck behind him was also stopped.
"Officer, there are more than thirty trucks behind me. They are all with me." Ye Qing took out his phone and explained, "We want to send a batch of important works of art to Shanghai for an exhibition. I will call your leader and tell him about the situation. Can you make an exception and let us pass?"
"Oh?" When the traffic policeman heard that there were more than thirty trucks behind them and that he was calling his leader to make an exception and let them pass, he immediately got angry.
"Get out of the car, get out of the car." The traffic policeman waved to his colleagues behind him and said to Ye Qing, "I don't care what you are going to participate in. We will check each truck one by one."
"Don't think that you are driving a luxury car. We will still check you."
The trucks behind them were stopped one by one. The strange long line of trucks immediately attracted the attention of the traffic police. They planned to check the trucks one by one. At the same time, Ye Qing was also asked to go to his captain and explain the situation.
The captain of the traffic police squadron, who was in charge of the inspection, sat in the Elantra police car and arrogantly asked Ye Qing to explain what was going on with these trucks.
Next to the police car, there were already more than a dozen drivers who were in the same situation as Ye Qing. Some of them were dejected, and some were talking on the phone.
The people closest to Ye Qing were a young man and a young woman. The woman was wearing a tank top and heavy makeup. The man was holding his phone and shouting, "Dad, I don't care. Hurry up and think of a way to let them let me go."
A black Porsche Cayenne stopped in front of the police car. In front of the Cayenne, there was a row of cars. None of them were less than 500,000 yuan.
"Which company are you from? Are you their boss? What are you transporting in the middle of the night? "
"Can I make a call first?" Ye Qing smiled helplessly.
"Sure. Call as much as you want. Call until dawn is no problem." The captain pointed to the young man and woman and said, "This person is driving a Cayenne, covering the license plate, and doesn't have a driver's license."
"When he was being investigated, he said that his father was the CEO of a listed company. He also said that with one phone call, I would get out of the car and apologize to him personally."
"Ouch." The captain stretched in the back seat and pretended to yawn. "I've been sitting for more than an hour. My legs are sore."
Ye Qing also joined the army of phone calls. As soon as he took out his phone, the driver next to him interrupted, "Hey, don't bother. In order to build a clean and civilized city, the traffic police are like taking drugs. I know people in the traffic department, but it's useless. When I called, all their phones were turned off."
Ye Qing smiled at him and continued to call.
The dejected drivers next to him all advised Ye Qing not to force himself. The more he called, the more embarrassed he would be.
When the phone was connected, Ye Qing smiled at them and said, "I'm different from you."
"Sigh, young people these days are too arrogant." A big boss who looked very stylish and had a full-time driver yawned and said, "Young man, do you know where I just called?"
"I just called the director of the traffic department. Who are you going to call?"
"Maybe you can call the mayor." Ye Qing didn't give him a good face.
The phone rang 5 times before it was connected. Wen Xiaowei asked nervously, "Mr. Ye, what's the matter?"
"We have set up checkpoints on the highway. You see …"
"Ah!" Wen Xiaowei shouted in shock, "Why are you setting up a checkpoint in the middle of the night? This is my fault. I should have asked you to send police cars to clear the way."
"Give me 5 minutes."
Du Du hung up the phone. Seeing Ye Qing hanging up the phone before he could finish his sentence, the people next to him started to laugh.
"Haha, I didn't even finish my sentence before he hung up the phone." The boss mocked.
"Yeah, I'm not as good as you." Ye Qing replied.
Over there, the cars were stopped by the traffic police. The drivers were confused. These cars weren't carrying anything illegal. Why did the traffic police want them to drive into the service area for a detailed inspection?
At this time, the truck drivers also came over. There were 7 or 8 of them. When they saw Ye Qing, they immediately asked, "Boss, the traffic police want us to drive into the service area for a detailed inspection. What should we do?"
"No need to drive. You guys go back to your cars first. We'll leave in 5 minutes."
The group of drivers were stunned. They looked at each other and thought they were hallucinating.
"What a big tone. My dad is the CEO of a listed company. Even he can't do anything about it. You're bragging." The young man who drove the Cayenne said.
The captain sitting in the police car also thought he was hallucinating. He was prepared to make sure that Feng Yu wouldn't be able to leave for 5 hours.
"Do you believe that I'll give you a 5 …"
Before the captain finished his sentence, his phone rang.
He subconsciously took out his phone and looked at the number. Then, he was stunned. His expression changed to a respectful attitude as he picked up the phone.
"Chief, what instructions do you have?"
Then, the people next to him could vaguely hear a series of angry roars coming from the other side of the phone.
The captain's expression slowly changed. He stared at Ye Qing as if he was looking at an alien.
Then, he quickly got out of the car. It was as if Ye Qing had become his leader. "Mr. Ye, I'm really, really sorry. I'm very sorry."
"Xiao Liu!" The captain shouted at the traffic police next to him. "Quick, let all of this gentleman's cars pass. Inform the toll booth to open the green channel. Then let Xiao Zhang drive in front to clear the road. "
"Ah! Captain, what did you say?"
"Clear the road! Open the green channel! Clear the road with the police car! "The captain almost flipped out.
"It's fine, it's fine. There's no rush." Ye Qing picked his ear.
"Little … Little brother, who did you call just now?" The big boss's face was filled with horror. It was useless for him to call the chief. This young man only made a phone call and only said half a sentence.
"We set up checkpoints on the highway here. You see …"
It was this half a sentence that caused the entire situation to take a 180-degree turn.
Open the green channel, and even have police cars in front to clear the road!
"Clang!" The young man driving the Cayenne dropped the phone in his hand to the ground. His expression was stiff and frozen.
"I, I'm Fang Ruojun, the boss of Shuiyun Xian." A lean middle-aged man squeezed his way forward and handed over his business card in a fawning manner. "Little brother, if you come to our Shuiyun Deity as a guest, I'll definitely ask the chef to bring out his specialty and serve you the best delicacies of our Shuiyun Deity."
"You're welcome. I'll definitely come when I have time in the future." Ye Qing took the business card and put it in his pocket.
The people next to him were suddenly enlightened. They all looked for the business card. Unfortunately, Ye Qing turned around and left, leaving behind the sound of pounding chests and stamping feet.
Ye Qing was really in a hurry. When the police car in charge of clearing the road was in position, he pressed the horn and signaled the trucks behind to follow. With the police car clearing the road, the truck drivers were all as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They put the eight forward gears into the highest gear and stepped on the gas pedal hard.
Fortunately, they were driving big trucks. If they were driving Ye Qing's car, they would have left the police car in the dust.
When they reached the exit of the highway in Shanghai, these drivers, including the police car in front, experienced what privilege was.
There were traffic police standing guard at the toll station. The railings of the passage were as straight as a telephone pole.
Out of the toll station, the four police cars that had been waiting for a long time immediately split up and led the way with flashing lights and double jumpers.
When all the motorcade left, two more police cars fell behind.
"Old … Old Zhang, what's the background of this group of people?" The police car with the Zhongyun license plate stopped at a loss. The traffic police in the passenger seat asked in a daze.
"I don't know. I can't see clearly at night. They seem to be transporting trees in the car."
"Trees made of gold shouldn't be like this, right? What's the background of that company? "
