(Before It's News)

Sploid reader Xian Min Zhang sent us the latest time-lapse video of the construction of his latest building: A 57-floor 2-million-square-foot (180,000-square-meter) skyscraper fully built with energy-efficient, factory-produced Lego-like blocks. He claims that they are now building these at a record three floors per day …. http://sploid.gizmodo.com

  • I can’t even get through a California DMV line in 19 days. Let’s see how long it stays up.

  • Just think what China can do for the American economy if they invade!

    • As opposed to the mess and destruction america leave behind when you go on your senseless killing sprees all across the globe…which is :arrow: all the time.

  • Maybe erecting in 19 days once the factory units are constructed, but I doubt if they are building them complete in 19 days.

  • the term is “erected” not built …there is a difference
    concrete needs 28 days to attain strength (14 days minimum) with the correct mix
    most of these panels must have been precast ..same as a link slab system
    not such a wondrous feat but still….pretty good going

    • Yeah right, if Americans did it you’d be bragging al over the world about how great you are.

    • What gave it away, tonyw?

      I reckon it was either the line… “factory-produced Lego-like blocks” or the bit in the video where the loaded trucks are pictured leaving the “central factory”.

      Nothing gets passed you, eh?
