Chapter 1103: Dragon Arena (Thank you JimH for your support!)

Zhao Chaogang, the main venue of the upcoming martial arts conference, will be named Dragon Arena, and the Chinese are the descendants of the dragon, so this main venue is called the Dragon Arena, and only this name is worthy of the name of this incomparable, destined to be famous in the world, and it also symbolizes that the Chinese dragon is about to start roaring, and China has stood up.

To build the Dragon Arena, Zhao Chaogang will not hand over this task to other construction teams, and now there are only three short months left before the martial arts conference, and it is too late to hand it over to other construction teams.

The design drawings of the Dragon Arena alone, which can accommodate 500,000 spectators, will take several months, plus the time required to establish the Dragon Arena Chief, Zhao Chaogang believes that one year is not enough, so Zhao Chaogang is ready to design and build the Dragon Arena by himself.

In three months, maybe an ordinary construction team can't afford to build such a Dragon Arena that can accommodate a full 500,000 spectators, but for Zhao Chaogang, who has a large number of puppets in hand, it is just a small matter, and when the time comes, the materials used to build the Dragon Arena will not be anything modern like steel and cement.

It is undeniable that steel and cement can indeed make the construction speed faster, but if the construction of the Dragon Arena is to use modern steel cement, it will take a long time to transport these steel cement in, and when using steel cement to build a house, you have to stop at some point to let the cement solidify, which is too time-consuming.

Besides, if the Dragon Arena was built out of steel and concrete. Since the Dragon Arena is an arena specially built for martial arts competitions, this arena must be able to fully reflect the strength of martial artists. In this way, as soon as people see this dragon arena, they can't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts.

Therefore, in order to save time and make the Dragon Arena more powerful as a martial artist, Zhao Chaogang prepared to build this Dragon Arena with gold essence stones.

The golden essence stone is a white-gold pseudo-spiritual material, and from a distance, the golden essence stone exudes a very holy feeling. And its sturdiness, even if it is wind and rain for 10,000 years, it will not change much.

The golden essence stone is in the cultivation realm. It is also the main material for some Xiuzhen sects to build houses and even martial arts venues, which shows how strong it is.

If you use the modern weapons on the earth to attack a building made of gold, even a high-yield nuclear bomb will explode in front of a house made of gold. It can't hurt the gold essence stone in the slightest. Therefore, if the Dragon Arena is built out of gold and stone, it can be preserved forever. Maybe in a thousand years, ten thousand years, this place will become a holy place. (Zhao Chaogang's guess was right, after five thousand years, the Dragon Arena became a sacred place in the martial arts secret realm and a place of worship for all martial artists.) )

Moreover, the gold essence stone is a pseudo-spiritual material. So, a house made of gold and stone. There will be a natural spirit gathering effect, although this kind of spirit gathering effect is also dispensable for the lowest level cultivators in the cultivation realm, but for martial artists, this kind of spirit gathering effect is still very beneficial.

And if ordinary people live in a house made of gold and stone, they can even prolong their life. No matter how ordinary it is in the cultivation realm, when it reaches the realm of ordinary people, it will be a great good thing.

The golden essence stone is very strong, but such a solidity is nothing in the hands of the puppet people in the foundation building period.

The outer walls of the Dragon Arena and the inner ring will all be made of gold essence stones, and in order to show the extraordinaryness of the Dragon Arena, the blocks of these gold essence stones will be very large, and each piece of gold essence stones will be square, and the side length will be fifty meters. The Dragon Arena built with such a huge golden essence stone is absolutely incomparable.

It's like the Colosseum, and it's still very impressive.

The Colosseum (Itali: Colosseo), also translated as the Colosseum, Colosseum, Colosseum, Colossium, formerly known as the Amphithheatrum Flavium, was built in 72-82 A.D. and is a symbol of ancient Roman civilization.

The ruins are located in the center of Rome, the capital of Italy, south of Piazza Venezia, near the Roman market. In appearance, it is perfectly circular, and when viewed, it is oval. It covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, with a length of about 188 meters on the long axis, about 156 meters on the short axis, a circumference of about 527 meters, and a wall height of about 57 meters, this huge building can accommodate nearly 90,000 spectators.

The Colosseum was a place in the Roman Empire where slave owners, nobles and freedmen watched the fight or gladiatorial fight of slaves.

The Colosseum was built in 72 A.D. when the Roman Emperor Vepasian forced 80,000 Jewish and Arab captives into slavery to celebrate his victory in the conquest of Jerusalem.

There is also a theory that the sale of captured slaves to the local Romans resulted in a huge income that allowed them to support the huge expenses incurred in the construction of the Colosseum. And the people who actually built this building are more architects with considerable skills and workers with professional knowledge.

The wall is divided into four layers, the first three of which are decorated with columns, such as Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns, which are the three types seen in ancient Athens. The Colosseum is known for its grandeur and unique shapes.

The Colosseum is the largest circular gladiatorial arena in ancient Rome, built between 72 and 82 AD by 40,000 prisoners of war over a period of eight years. The Colosseum was built for savage slave owners and hooligans to watch gladiatorial fights.

In terms of function, scale, technique and artistic style, the Colosseum is one of the masterpieces of ancient Roman architecture. The speed with which it was built is also a miracle.

The Colosseum is flat and oblong, which is equivalent to the relative integration of the auditoriums of two ancient Roman theaters. The Colosseum has a long axis of 188m and a short axis of 156m. The central "performance area" has a long axis of 86 m and a minor axis of 54 m.

The auditorium has about 60 rows of seats, which rise row by row. It is divided into five zones. The first district in the front is the seat of honor, the last two districts are the seats of the lower classes, and in the middle are the knights and other citizens with relatively high status.

The seats of honor are more than 5 meters higher than the "performance area", and there is also a height difference of more than 6 meters between the lower audience seats and the knights' seats, and the security measures for the upper echelons of society are tight. The upper auditorium has its back against the wall of the façade. The total rising slope of the auditorium is close to 62c/o, and the viewing conditions are very good.

The Colosseum was built by the three emperors of the Flavian dynasty, and its construction was part of a series of campaigns launched by the families of this new dynasty to raise their own standing in the public.

Veopaxiang (69-79 AD) was the founder of this dynasty. He was not of noble origin, and in the year following Nero's suicide, Rome experienced the failed reign of three short-lived emperors (Galba, Otto, and Viterius), and Vepasian subsequently sat on the throne.

Nero was not forgotten then. The vast expanses of land and other luxuries he devoured have aroused the anger of the people. So when Wespasian decided to fill in the artificial lake that belonged to Nero's sumptuous golden palace and turn it into a place of public entertainment, almost no one objected.

The Colosseum (188 m long; 156 m wide; 57 m high) made of stone was made of travertine (100,000 cubic meters. Quarry from the vicinity of Tiviri. It was transported to Rome by a special road, and it was the largest arena in Rome. It is believed that about 300 tons of iron were used to make grappling hooks that connected the stones.

From the outside, the Colosseum consists of a series of circular arcades on 3 floors, with the highest 4th floor being the Penthouse. The stone columns in these 3 tiers of arcades are designed according to classical standards (from the ground, Dorian, Ionian and Corinthian style).

Beneath the eaves of the 4th floor are 240 hollow protrusions, which are used to place wooden sticks to support the "Velarium", a shade canvas for the amphitheater. The sailors of the Royal Fleet were responsible for propping it up to help the spectators escape the heat, rain and cold. In this way, the Colosseum became a transparent arena from the 1st century.

The Colosseum can accommodate about 90,000 spectators. There are three floors of seating, lower, middle and upper levels, and a stand-only stand on the top floor, which is reserved for the lowest members of society: women, slaves and the poor.

But even on other levels, the seats were arranged according to social status and occupation: special boxes owned by members of the royal family and the consecrated ladies who watched the flame. Patriarchs dressed in white and red-trimmed robes sat in the same "choir" on the same floor, followed by samurai and commoners.

There are also special seats for people of different professions, such as soldiers, writers, scholars, and teachers, as well as high-ranking monks abroad, etc.

Spectators enter the Colosseum through 80 arched entrances on the first floor, while a further 160 exits are located on each floor with seating levels, known as spouts, through which spectators can pour in and out, allowing the chaotic and uncontrolled crowd to be quickly evacuated (it is said that it takes only ten minutes to clear the place).

Gladiatorial fights are the main show of the Colosseum and are the peak of entertainment throughout the day. Gladiatorial schools also appeared at that time that specialized in training gladiators. The Colosseum financed the four gladiatorial schools, which could accommodate 2,000 gladiators, but in reality these gladiatorial schools were nothing more than a combination of training camps and prisons, because the vast majority of gladiators were slaves and captives from all parts of the Roman Empire, who did not have any freedom or power, and lived at the lowest level of society.

For the Roman aristocracy, the most brutal fighting was undoubtedly the most exciting. The brawler carries a halberd or short sword. Most of the fighters were slaves and prisoners. There are also those who come to fight voluntarily to earn money, and they are all specially trained.

There are many types of fighting: the most famous is the duel, in which one side is a gladiator with a trident and a net, and the opponent is a Roman warrior with a sword and shield, the gladiator with a net has to wrap the net around his opponent and kill him with the trident, and the other gladiator wears a helmet and holds a short sword and shield, desperately chasing after his opponent who wants to defeat him.

At the end of the day, the losing side pleads with the people in the stands for mercy, and these spectators decide his fate, if they wave a handkerchief, he will be spared, and if these people throw their palms down, it means that he will die.

The Colosseum's grandstand is topped with three layers of concrete barrel arches, each with 80 arches, forming three rings of different heights of circular corridors (i.e., corridors supported by arches), and the top floor is a 50-meter-high solid wall.

The grandstand retreats floor by floor, creating a stepped slope. The 80 arches on each floor form 80 openings, and the top two floors have 80 window openings, and the audience enters according to the number of their seats, first finding which bottom arch they should enter from, then following the stairs to find their own area, and finally finding their seats.

The Colosseum can accommodate up to 90,000 people, but it is thoughtfully designed to avoid congestion and confusion, and this kind of entrance design is still used even in today's large stadiums.

The Colosseum's performance area is covered with holes and pipes where props and livestock are stored, as well as gladiators, who are hoisted to the ground at the start of the show. The Colosseum can even use aqueducts to divert water.

In 248 AD, water was introduced into the performance area at the Colosseum, creating a lake and performing naval battles to celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of the founding of Rome.

Zhao Chaogang prepared to build the Dragon Arena, which was inspired by the Roman Arena.

Ancient Rome was able to build such a large arena, as the owner of the small world realm, the ruler of the martial arts secret realm, of course, to build a more magnificent arena.

The Arena of Ancient Rome was the place where Ancient Rome showed the world the strength of Ancient Rome, and the Arena of the Dragon was the place where Zhao Chaogang wanted to show the invincible power of the descendants of the dragon in the whole world, so that Westerners could crawl at the feet of the descendants of the dragon and tremble for the powerful power possessed by the descendants of the dragon.

In such a place, no matter how magnificent Zhao Chaogang is, it is not too much!

The largest arena in ancient Rome covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, with a length of about 188 meters on the long axis, about 156 meters on the short axis, a circumference of about 527 meters, and a wall about 57 meters high, which can also accommodate nearly 90,000 spectators.

In order to show the strength of the descendants of the Chinese dragon, Zhao Chaogang's Dragon Arena directly fought ten times more than the ancient Roman Colosseum.

The Dragon Arena covers an area of nearly 250,000 square meters, with a long axis of about 2,000 meters, a short axis of about 1,900 meters, a wall of about 99 meters high, and the number of spectators in Yung Nai is as high as 500,000.

Such a large arena can definitely make the whole world dumbfounded!(To be continued......)
