中国企业家发明现代版"诺亚方舟"

Tony StArks’ Iron Man suit may be something out of comic books, but Chinese businessman Yang Zongfu has built something in real life, out of iron-clad steel, that is just as effective, albeit not as form-fitting. According to Shanghai Daily, the entrepreneur created a modern day version of Noah’s Ark: a steel spherical capsule which can withstand nuclear radiation and 1700 degrees of heat. It can also keep humans inside safely, no matter what the elements — it has even kept raw eggs intact on several tests.

托尼·斯塔克斯的钢铁侠套装可能是漫画书中才有的，但是中国商人杨宗富已经在现实生活中建成了一个真实版的钢铁工具，虽然钢质外壳不太合身，但功能很好。据上海日报报道，这名中国企业家建造了一个现代版本的诺亚方舟：一个能够防止核辐射和1700摄氏度高温的钢质球形太空舱。在任何情况下它都能保证内部的人员安全，它的圆形甚至能经历几个测试而保持完好。

Reports say that the capsule can safely sustain a family of three for two weeks with stored food and water, and can even float on water in the event of a flood. This was all demonstrated by Yang Zongfu himself, in a stunt that looks a bit like zorbing down a big hill, but in a sphere of steel

消息说,这个太空舱储存的食物和水可以维持一个家庭三两周的生活,甚至可以在发生洪水时浮在水面上。所有这些功能都由杨宗富一个人进行了演示，看起来像是进行悠波球一样壮观，只不过这次的工具是个钢的球。

However, the Chinese aren’t the only ones with balls of steel; a Japanese company also has a version of “Noah’s Ark,” available for $3900 USD, according to Treehugger. And with a recent history of tsunami and nuclear accident in that country, you can never been too prepared. In fact, people are already making orders.

然而，中国不是唯一制造诺亚方舟的国家，根据TreeHugger媒体的消息，日本一家公司也有一个版本的诺亚方舟，而且明码标价3,900美元进行出售。这在一个发生过海啸和原子弹爆炸事件的国家来讲，怎么准备都不为过，所以已经有人下了订单。
