Chapter 373: Chapter 234: Building Blocks_5

Many modern buildings reinforced with steel and concrete still cannot withstand earthquakes, let alone ancient constructions?

Li Hongyun simply because of one small detail not being handled well, caused a chain reaction leading to very serious consequences.

If this had happened in ancient times and a collapsing imperial palace had buried the emperor, wouldn’t it at least result in a death by dismemberment and the extermination of the entire clan?

Yet these ancient master builders not only managed to construct such complex structures, but they also ensured that all components fit tightly together with strong earthquake resistance, which is even more astonishing.

Li Hongyun began reconstructing the Fengtian Hall from scratch.

With the prior experience of a "semi-successful" attempt, the process was much faster this time.

But Li Hongyun still wondered: previously, just a few arches not being installed properly caused the entire hall to slightly shake and collapse into ruins. Even if the arches were properly fixed this time, how would it help?

The pillars hadn’t even reached the foundation; wouldn’t they still collapse?

Finally, after much hard work, the Fengtian Hall was rebuilt once again.

This time, Li Hongyun did not cut corners, but instead, from a close distance, he carefully matched the virtual silhouette and meticulously installed each primary component.

Layer upon layer, it felt substantially firm.

The craftsmen and laborers once again completed the detailed parts of the hall.

Observing from a high aerial view, Li Hongyun saw tiny laborers bustling back and forth on the scaffolding, with days and nights passing overhead, until after a long time, the entire Fengtian Hall was rebuilt.

And the ground began to rumble once again!

Li Hongyun watched nervously.

Although he still doubted whether the hall could withstand a severe earthquake, he did not want to see all his hard work reduced to nothing, nor did he want to start over again.

Soon, the entire Fengtian Hall vibrated violently once more, the tiles on the roof clinking sharply.

However, this shaking lasted noticeably longer than before, indicating that Li Hongyun’s attention to detail had an effect.

But this clearly wasn’t enough.

Li Hongyun distinctly felt the intensity of the earthquake increasing!

The whole Fengtian Hall shook even more vigorously, and Li Hongyun could clearly see the columns and bracketing structure inside the hall trembling together; the massive palace resembled a shivering giant.

Especially those load-bearing columns, which were not anchored deeply in the foundation, seemed to be dancing on the square stones below, continuously swaying and shifting.

Even though the displacement wasn’t large, it was still terrifying for Li Hongyun.

At last, even the surrounding brick walls of the Fengtian Hall collapsed with a crash!

In ancient architecture, brick walls didn’t bear loads but merely acted as curtains, shielding from wind and rain. However, these bricks were solid and sturdy.

The collapse of the brick walls indicated the immense power of the earthquake.

Yet Li Hongyun watched the entire Fengtian Hall seeming to slide and sway, different bracket structures continuously clashing, seemingly about to collapse entirely the next second, but unexpectedly, until the earthquake stopped, none of that happened.

The main structure of the Fengtian Hall had withstood such a severe earthquake, losing only a few brick walls!

"How is this possible..."

Li Hongyun watched in disbelief, struggling to comprehend everything in front of him.
