The King's Pagoda, with a design height of about 1007 meters, will be completed in 2018, making it the tallest building in the world. In fact, the original design height of the King's Pagoda is 1500 meters. What is the reason for the self-drop of nearly 500meters? The main cause is the wind. William Le Meisul, an engineer, pointed out that when the local people felt the breeze blowing, the wind was already howling 500m high. In 1978, New York just built the 278.9-meter-high Citigroup central building, which is the work of Le Meisul. An architecture student asked him a question: the building is so high, is it possible to be blown down by the wind? Lemazur broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly realized that he only considered the vertical wind direction in his design, and the influence of 45-degree wind direction was left behind! The staff had to work overtime in the middle of the night, soldered the windbreak support plate, and kept it a secret for 20 years.
