Welcome to the reading list, a weekly roundup of news and links related to buildings, infrastructure, and industrial technology.
欢迎来到阅读列表，这是与建筑、基础设施和工业技术相关的新闻和链接的每周综述。
This week we look at propane in air conditioners, Anduril making submarine parts, nuclear reactors on the moon, the robotic hand landscape (handscape?), and more.
本周我们将探讨空调中的丙烷、Anduril 制造潜艇零件、月球上的核反应堆、机器人手景观（handscape？）等等。

I somehow missed this paper from last year analyzing the impact of International Building Code changes from 2012 to 2021 on construction costs.
我不知何故错过了去年的一篇论文，分析了 2012 年至 2021 年国际建筑规范变化对建筑成本的影响。
“ Between 2012 and 2021, the International Code Council (ICC) adopted 130 revisions to the International Building Code (IBC) affecting multifamily development.
“ 2012 年至 2021 年间，国际规范理事会 (ICC) 对国际建筑规范 (IBC) 进行了 130 项修订，影响了多户住宅的开发。
Using a detailed prototype of a three-story apartment building and holding material prices and labor productivity constant at 2024 levels, we find that 16 of these revisions raised national average construction costs by 9.9 percent relative to a 2009 IBC baseline, with fire protection requirements accounting for the largest share.
使用三层公寓楼的详细原型，并将材料价格和劳动生产率保持在 2024 年水平不变，我们发现其中 16 项修订使全国平均建筑成本相对 2009 年 IBC 基准提高了 9.9%，其中防火要求占最大份额。

Atomic Machines, a manufacturing startup using a vaguely described manufacturing process that “builds working micro machines from code alone” (whatever that means) emerged from stealth and got a lot of attention on Twitter.
Atomic Machines 是一家制造初创公司，它采用了一种描述模糊的制造工艺，“仅通过代码构建可工作的微型机器”（无论这意味着什么），它悄然出现，并在 Twitter 上引起了广泛关注。
[ X ] A NYT article on the company has a little more information, but not much.
[ X ] 纽约时报关于该公司的一篇文章提供了更多信息，但不多。
“ Using the same techniques that drive a chatbot, Atomic Machines is building A.I.
“ Atomic Machines 正在使用驱动聊天机器人的相同技术来构建人工智能。
technology that can discover new ways of designing extremely small devices.
可以发现设计极小设备的新方法的技术。
By analyzing thousands of experiments involving standard manufacturing materials and finding patterns in how these materials interact, it learns to piece them together in ways that produce viable devices.
通过分析数千个涉及标准制造材料的实验并找到这些材料如何相互作用的模式，它学会了以生产可行设备的方式将它们组合在一起。

The Navy awarded defense startup Anduril a $2.9 billion contract to manufacture components for Virginia-class nuclear submarines.
美国海军授予国防初创公司 Anduril 一份价值 29 亿美元的合同，为弗吉尼亚级核潜艇制造零部件。
“ Arsenal-2 will build complex components and large scale assemblies of the Virginia-class submarine and deliver them to Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding for final assembly.
Arsenal-2将建造弗吉尼亚级潜艇的复杂部件和大型组件，并将其交付给Electric Boat和纽波特纽斯造船厂进行最终组装。
Adding another source of this work will allow more submarine construction to happen in parallel across the industrial base and increase the overall capacity available to the Virginia-class program.
增加这项工作的另一个来源将允许在整个工业基地并行进行更多的潜艇建造，并增加弗吉尼亚级项目可用的总体能力。

Related, Chinese car sales are really taking off in Britain.
与此相关的是，中国汽车在英国的销量确实正在起飞。
“ The Jaecoo 7, made by China’s Chery Automobile, was Britain’s bestselling vehicle in September, an important sales month in the U.K. In the first half of 2026, almost every sixth car sold in Britain bore a Chinese brand, according to Schmidt Automotive Research, a higher proportion than in any other European country except Norway.
中国奇瑞汽车制造的 Jaecoo 7 是 9 月份英国最畅销的汽车，这是英国重要的销售月份。施密特汽车研究公司的数据显示，2026 年上半年，英国售出的汽车中几乎每 6 辆就有中国品牌，这一比例高于除挪威以外的任何其他欧洲国家。
