THAT'S how they build skyscrapers so fast! Mighty wall-climbing platform helps Chinese workers construct super-tall towers at staggering speed
这就是人建造摩天大楼的速度！巨型爬墙平台帮助建筑工人以惊人的速度建造超级摩天大楼
China built more than half of the skyscrapers in the world last year, and it has no plan to slow its rapid urbanisation.
去年，建造了全球一半多的摩天大楼，仍未有减缓城市化进程的计划。
But how do its workers build sky-high towers so quickly?
但是，的建筑工人是如何快速建造摩天大楼的呢?
A recent documentary has revealed the nation's secret weapon: a mighty skyscraper-building machine dubbed 'wall-climbing monster'.
最近的一部纪录片揭露了的秘密武器：巨型建楼机，被称为“爬墙怪兽”。
The humongous building machine weighs 2,000 tonnes and is developed by Chinese engineers.
这台巨大的建筑机器重达2000吨，由工程师研发。
It provides a platform for workers to construct the building upwards, and can remain steady even at over 500 metres (1,640 feet) above the ground, according to a programme by China's state broadcaster CCTV.
中央电视台的一档节目显示，这台机器为建筑工人提供了一个平台向上建造大楼，甚至可在距离地面500米的高空(1640英尺)处保持稳定。
It's also said the self-supporting platform can bear a weight of up to 2,000 tonnes and even withstand hurricane force.
另外这个独立的平台可以承受高达2000吨的重量，甚至能承受飓风的力量。
CCTV claimed the machine, developed by the country's own engineers, could speed up the building process by 20 per cent.
中央电视台称，这台机器是由自己的工程师研发的，可以使建筑进程提速20%。
With the help two tracks on each side and a total of 12 hydraulic jacks, the machine can push itself up evenly once workers finished building the several stories above - to create a new and higher working platform.
机器两侧各有2个轨道，一共配备了12个液压千斤顶，当工人们完成上面数层的建筑工作后，这台机器能将自己均速推高，为工人提供更高的工作平台。
Each of the pivot points on the tracks can up to 400 tonnes in weight, an engineer told CCTV.
一位工程师告诉中央电视台，铁轨上的每一个枢轴点都可承受400吨的重量。
The machine is currently being used to build Wuhan Greenland Center in the provincial capital of Hubei.
这台机器目前正被用于建设位于湖北省省会城市武汉的武汉绿地中心。
The £3.3 billion 119-storey skyscraper is set to be complete by the end of 2018.
这座造价33亿英镑的119层高的摩天大楼将在2018年底完成。
Standing 636 metres (2,086 feet) in height, the super-tall tower is due to be the tallest building in China - overtaking Shanghai Tower by four metres (13 feet).
这座高636米(2,086英尺)的超高层建筑将成为最高的建筑——比上海中心大厦高4米(13英尺)。
Nowhere else in the world has more ambition in building skyscrapers than China.
世界上没有其他国家比更有野心建造摩天大楼了。
The nation already has five out of the 10 tallest buildings in the world.
目前全球最高的10座建筑中，拥有5座。
And last year it built 76 out of the world's 144 new skyscrapers - those taller than 200 metres (656 feet) - according Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
根据《高层建筑和城市栖息地》的统计数据表明，去年修建了全球144座超过200米(656英尺)高度的新摩天大楼中的76座。
With such experience and efficiency, Chinese workers have branched out and started building skyscrapers for other countries.
有了这样的经验和效率，工人们已经开始为其他国家建造摩天大楼。
A Chinese construction company is building a 106-storey skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur, which is set to be the tallest building in Malaysia at 492 metres (1,614 feet).
一家建筑公司正在吉隆坡建造一座106层的摩天大楼，该大厦将成为马来西亚最高的建筑，海拔492米(1614英尺)。
Workers have managed to complete one story every three days using what they call 'the world's most advanced techniques', according to a previous report.
根据早前的报道，工人们每三天就能用他们声称的“世界上最先进的技术”修建一层楼。

Yes, but they just end up empty. That is China all over. Lots of empty tower blocks and flats. Whole towns of them.

Watched a docu about this , they built a 35 story high rise building in 17 days , what you have to remember is China was humiliated for 100 years by colonialists , GB /USA / France ect ect ect , then Mao came along and kicked them all out , so China has been catching up since and boy have they been catching up , i would say in 50 / 100 years time China will be the leading world power economically and militarily . the USA will bankrupt it`s self trying to keep up , or go to war with China , the US may have 1,000,000 plus military personal in 80 countries now , but when you consider China could put tens of millions of fighting men on the battle field , any stand up fight China would win hands down .
我看过一部这方面的纪录片，他们在17天内修建了35层的高楼，你要记住，被英国 /美国/法国等国的殖民者羞辱了100年， 出现了，把殖民者都赶跑了，所以以来一直迎头追赶，我想说在50或100年后将称为主导世界经济和军事的力量。美国将力不从心，或与开战，美国现在在80个国家大约有100万军事人才，但是你要知道可以调派成千上万的兵力上战场，可以不费吹灰之力获得胜利。

Biggest problem for China is there are insufficient men to support a war. Their one child policy of the past left them with an Army unable to fill gaps in the line. At least for now.
最大的问题在于，没有足够的人来参战。他们的独生子女政策让他们无法填补这一空白。起码现在是这样的。

You are following the wrong narrative. As capital flows become borderless the wealthy of China will have more in common with the wealthy of other countries than they will their countrymen. The 1% globally will eventually own the other 99% wherever they live.
你说错了。随着资本流动越来越无国界，与其他人相比，的富人与其他国家的富人将有更多的共同之处。全球1%的人口最终统治剩余99%的人口。

The problem with building a tower really fast like this is that the faster you build up the less time you're giving the concrete to cure before you put the weight of another floor on top of it.
建造一座塔的问题是这样的：你建造地越快，在往上加盖、增加重量时，留给下一层混凝土的固化时间就越少。
no one, somewhere knowwhere, United Kingdom, 7 hours ago
The manufacturers of concrete can give you a curing time , they put additives into it to make it go off slow or quick or what ever time factor you want,
水泥的制造商可以调整混凝土固化的时间，他们通过往水泥里面加入添加剂，使得固化速度可以根据你的需求变慢或变快
calgirl, los alamitos, United States, 6 hours ago
The longer it takes, the stronger it is. Additives shorten curing time at a cost. Weaker concrete
固化时间越长，混凝土就越坚固。添加剂可以缩短固化时间，但是混凝土就不够坚固。

Impressive. There seems to be a limit or step stone at about 500m due to a limit with elevators I think. The problem with very tall buildings is no natural light at street level if not properly spaced.
好震撼。我感觉因为电梯到不了，大约500米左右高度就是极限了。超高层建筑的问题在于，如果没有足够的楼间距，街面上就没有自然光了。

Slip-forming has been used world-wide for many years. It is mainly used in the core, lift-shafts and stairwells. Columns and beams to support the floors are erected a few floors behind the slip-form. The slip form equipment is dismantled and lowered by crane when finished.
滑模成型已经在全球范围内使用好多年了。主要用在升降轴和楼梯井等处。支撑底板的柱子和横梁立在滑模的下面几层。完工后，用吊车对滑模设备进行拆除和下放。
