Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Epic Construction Speed!

Seeing the funnel-shaped skyscraper, Jiang Cheng immediately came up with a fitting name for it—Big Funnel.

Currently, on Jade Island, there is already a piece of ”Big Wave” architecture, and perhaps, according to his naming style, future landmark buildings on Jade Island might all start with the word ”Big”.

Jiang Cheng also had his own ideas about the functional positioning of Big Funnel. Due to its novel architectural style, Big Funnel has the potential to develop its sightseeing tourism industry.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Jiang Cheng decided to use the tubular lower part of Big Funnel as a business office area, while the funnel part above would serve as sightseeing, conference, exhibition, restaurant, and other functions.

It can be said that once this ”Big Funnel” is established, it is bound to become the most favored sightseeing tour area for tourists. From the observation deck of the funnel part, one can not only overlook the night view of Laputa City but also glimpse the entire Blue Moon Bay scenery, making it the best sightseeing tourist spot.

[Name]: ”Magical Funnel” Skyscraper

[Area]: Building area 960,000 square meters, Land area 8,200 square meters

[Cost]: 115.3 million USD

”Beep... Please choose a construction location!”

The location of Big Funnel must be near the Vertical Forest because only in this way can the landmark of the entire city appear more shocking.

One must know, a city’s CBD is the symbol of the entire city, like the world-famous CBD Manhattan in New York, which is home to skyscrapers like the Empire State Building, Chrysler Mansion, Rockefeller Center, Metropolitan Mansion, etc. Its unique night view has become a beautiful postcard of the city.

As Laputa City aspires to rank among the world’s top cities, it certainly needs its own unique skyline, and Big Funnel and Vertical Forest are the most significant elements.

After completing Big Funnel, Jiang Cheng then turned his attention to the final skyscraper model, which is entirely different from the aforementioned two skyscrapers. This is an architectural marvel rich with science fiction elements!

Endless Mansion!

Endless Mansion is a skyscraper encompassing a large number of technological elements, and its main feature is its ability to ”disappear.”

Of course, this disappearance does not mean a total vanishing but uses certain technological means to make it disappear from human sight.

As for the principle, it is quite simple; the building’s surface is decorated with countless LED liquid crystal screens and cameras, which capture the surrounding scenery all the time, and then display it on the LCD screens. The final effect is that from a distance, the skyscraper completely blends with the nearby scenery, achieving ”disappearance.”

Jiang Cheng had his reasons for constructing this skyscraper. One must know, the positioning of Laputa City is as a Technology City.

Here, the world’s most advanced high-tech industries and scientific technologies will gather in the future, so there must be a building matching its reputation.

And Endless Mansion is a most fitting representative work.

It is not just a skyscraper; it is a combination of technology and fantasy, representing humanity’s fantasy for future technology.

One must know, technology often stems from human fantasy, and the main theme of Endless Mansion is to encourage people here to pursue technological fantasies.

[Name]: ”Endless Mansion” Skyscraper

[Parameters]: Height 414 meters, 132 floors, Elevators X24, Underground parking lots X4, Water and electricity system X1, Air conditioning system X, Ventilation system X1, Other supporting facilities X1

[Area]: Building area 1,460,000 square meters, Land area 15,600 square meters

[Cost]: 145 million USD

[Duration]: 15 days

Due to its unique renovation style, Endless Mansion’s cost is even greater than Big Funnel and Vertical Forest combined, but this doesn’t matter. This will be Laputa City’s most iconic building, for which Jiang Cheng is willing to make huge investments.

The three buildings occupy the best geographical locations at the Yunpan River Estuary, forming a skyline that makes one’s blood boil just to imagine!

The three skyscrapers each have their distinctive features, yet they can blend perfectly. It can be said that this will be one of the most scenic landmarks of Jade Island and symbolize Jade Island’s future to some extent.

Pressing the build button for Endless Mansion, Jiang Cheng felt exhausted. Over the past few days, he had been racking his brains over the second phase of Laputa City’s construction, pouring in a tremendous amount of effort.

And from the current standpoint, everything seemed to be going smoothly, which made him feel quite relieved.

Perhaps it won’t be long before this city, as if magically rising, will shock the world’s eyes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn’t spare time to rest and continued to invest in the construction. In the following Central Business District, many building facilities need completion, not to mention the life zones waiting for the third phase development.

In this way, while Jiang Cheng was busy with the subsequent construction of Laputa City, Mr. Li, and other high-level management personnel of Jade Island were also continuously busy.

By now, they have formed a complete procedure for recruiting talents and enterprises and have also announced the channels for submitting applications. These days, green card application letters from all over the world were raining down on Jade Island like raindrops.

Fortunately, Mr. Li and the others had anticipated this and specially dispatched many staff from the Jiang Group to help them with the screening process.

For those who meet the requirements, a reply will be sent, advising them to await the next phase of qualification review, while those not meeting the requirements will be tactfully informed.

In short, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

...

Half a month later, the Vertical Forest, Big Funnel, and Endless Mansion were completed one after another, and other supporting facilities, living areas, and leisure zones were gradually developed.

At this time, the entire Laputa City has been renewed, transforming from once an all-green Earth into a Technology City.

Within the city, high-rise buildings stood densely, dwellings interspersed, yet not lacking in green plant coverage, making the city perfectly blend with the surrounding scenery.

As all buildings in the city are adorned with green elements, their surfaces covered with abundant vegetation, looking from above, there’s not much difference, making it akin to an ongoing visual magic show.

Now, Jiang Cheng is sitting on a beach chair in front of his villa, sipping coconut juice in his hand, showing a proud smile.

Seeing Laputa City built at a speed comparable to a miracle, his sense of accomplishment was indescribable.

Looking at this magnificent city, Jiang Cheng felt it was time to invite the second batch of tourists to Jade Island to witness the miracle!
