Dabao’en Temple.
This name may be unfamiliar to today’s Chinese people.
But in the Ming Dynasty in 1654, when a delegation of the Dutch East India Company arrived in Jinling City, it was completely shocked by the brilliant light of the glazed tower. A staff member named “Johann Niehoff” recorded the glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple in the form of paintings and texts.
Then, when they returned to Europe, the Niehoff Travels caused a huge sensation.
At that time, the incomparable height, beautiful shape, and most importantly, the five-color glass of the Chinese specialty conquered everyone.
Along with the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Great Wall, Alexander’s Mausoleum, Stonehenge, and Hagia Sophia, it is collectively called the “Seven Wonders of the Middle World”
In terms of popularity alone, the glazed pagoda of the Great Bao’en Temple once overwhelmed the Great Wall!
The greatest emperor of France, “Trinity Three”, Louis XIV, known as the “Sun King”, couldn’t help but fall for it after seeing the dreamy glazed pagoda, and built a building imitating the glazed pagoda in the royal Versailles Palace – the Treannon Porcelain Palace.
In the fairy tale “Garden of Heaven”, Hans Christian Andersen affectionately called the glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple “Huaxia Porcelain Pagoda”
Even in modern times, the land of China is dark, but this glazed pagoda is still a bright pearl in the eyes of all Westerners.
Until it was destroyed by the Taiping Rebellion…
Today, the people living in this land have long forgotten the former glory of this pagoda, and completely live in the worship of Western steel and concrete buildings.
At this moment, Su Cheng also had a strong sense of mission… This beautiful pagoda should not be forgotten by its descendants!
He will do his best to complete the reconstruction of this glazed pagoda of the Great Bao’en Temple!
Click on the building details:
Name: Dabao’en Temple Glazed Pagoda.
Category: Wonder of the World (one-of-a-kind).
Height: 78.2 m.
Structure: Nine floors and eight sides.
Material: The center is a “tube wood”, the surface of the tower is covered with a layer of glass, the whole is like a huge glass vessel.
Ancillary buildings: Perfume River Bridge, Jialan Hall, Dharma Hall, Underground Palace.
Function: Display after the completion of the building.
Duration: 120 days.
Hidden properties: 100%.
Su Cheng glanced at it, all the building attributes are similar to history, but only this construction period, is it too long… You know, he now has two mid-level infrastructure companies!
However, historically, the construction of the glazed pagoda took 19 years, and it was still under the supervision of Zheng He.
The main reason is because the pagoda needs to fire too many glazed components.
Moreover, and each piece must be carefully carved, and the complete shape and pattern are all different, which requires a large number of craftsmen to make it hand-made one by one, and it is impossible to produce it in large quantities.
In addition, the height of 78.2 meters also made Su Cheng not very satisfied.
“Drip…”
“Congratulations! Your Intermediate Infrastructure has a female artist who unlocks the Intermediate Mode and has great artistic skills to unlock DIY options for this marvel building
At this time, the system mechanical prompted.
It’s okay like this…
Su Cheng did not expect that the female artist would still be of this kind of use, and decisively chose the DIY option.
“Dear island owner, Muse One is at your service.”
In the interface, the avatar of Muse One appeared, and then she introduced her design concept for the pagoda to Su Cheng.
First of all, there is Liuli.
This is the most dazzling part of the glazed pagoda of Dabao’en Temple.
The Muse No. 1 proposed an extremely bold craft scheme, called “ultra-high temperature glazed process”, the whole building completely abandoned brick and wood, only made of a special material “glazed clay” to make a huge clay pagoda of tens of meters or hundreds of meters.
The Buddha statues, tables and chairs, stairs, railings, lanterns, doors and windows, wind chimes at the corners of the eaves, etc., are also all made of clay sculptures.
Then, Buddhist scriptures are engraved on it, as well as Buddhist elements such as lions, white elephants, and flying sheep.
Finally, all the clay sculptures are fired into five-color glass with a high-temperature flame of 3,000 degrees at one time.
It’s a bold idea!
Well, Su Cheng was also stunned by Muse One!
Such a glazed pagoda is basically equivalent to a glazed vessel, but it is only as huge as tens of meters or hundreds of meters… If it succeeds, it will be an unprecedented huge glazed building, and its five-colored glazed light will be more dazzling than the rainbow in the sky!
It would also be an unparalleled miracle…
“Dear island owner, this special ‘glazed mud’, the system can sell you. However, because the process is too complex and the glass cannot be modified once fired, a small mistake can ruin an entire building. ”
“So, the chances of failure are very high, and it may even take several back and forth failures to build successfully.”
Muse One reminded again.
This made Su Cheng’s heart chill………….
If you invest a lot of charm and time, and you fail, it will be too much loss!
However, this pagoda carries too much glory in Huaxia, no matter what, it must be built, and it must be built regardless of the cost! Even if it fails once, it’s a big deal to come a few more times…
“Confirmation of the use of the ‘ultra-high temperature glass process’.”
Su Cheng finally said.
Then, in terms of specific parameters, Muse One unlocked the intermediate mode, which can design a glazed tower of up to 278 meters, which is already comparable to the height of a 60-story building.
The number of floors is still nine, and the height of the floor is 30 meters.
In each floor, there is a large Buddha of about 28 meters, and Su Cheng also specially explained, the Buddha statue must be carefully carved, in the style, it is necessary to adopt the round, thick and gentle, bright color, exquisite and delicate artistic style of Chinese Buddhism.
In this regard, because he has been engaged in the restoration project of the Great Buddha of Longmen Lushe, Muse One said that it can be easily handled.
Other clay sculpture details, especially the 146 lanterns that illuminate day and night, must also be perfected.
Because once the glazed pagoda is successfully fired, there is no room for any flaws to change.
And flaws must not be tolerated!
……
After discussing in detail for half a day, the new attributes of the pagoda also popped up.

Construction period: 180 days.
Success rate: 30%.
Hidden attribute: 1000%.
Well, the properties are very satisfactory, but this price is really expensive enough. The glazed mud side is 1 point of charm, and this time it consumes 150,000 charms!
Another 60 days were added.
The success rate also makes Su Cheng feel a little bottom, 30%, probably three or four in a row to ensure success…
Finally, the probability of hiding attributes is as high as 1000%.
This means that the probability of obtaining 1 hidden attribute is 1000%, the probability of 2 is 100%, and the probability of 3 is 10%… It’s already quite high! _
