Chapter 81 Island-Building Artifact!

The Coast Guard, after all, is a paramilitary force.

In order to accommodate such an army, Jiang Cheng needs to build a decent military base for it.

This military base not only has a port for stationing ships, but also military facilities such as training grounds, shooting ranges, military camps, and airports. Therefore, this requires a lot of space.

Jiang Cheng carefully browsed the military facilities section, and after having a good idea of ​​what was about to be built, he walked out of the villa, drove Xiao Hei, and flew directly towards the sea around the Emerald Island.

That's right, the Coast Guard is a unique military force on the Emerald Island, and Jiang Cheng didn't want it to be too exposed to the eyes of ordinary people.

Therefore, according to Jiang Cheng's inner plan, he needed a hidden island to place this military base.

Driving Xiao Hei, it didn't take long for Jiang Cheng to come to the outlying islands of the Emerald Island.

The outlying islands in front of them are all green and green, like pieces of emerald. The farthest octopus island, although it is covered by a large number of buildings at the moment, still cannot hide its beauty.

Looking at the beautiful islands in front of him, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly.

To be honest, according to his original idea, these islands are to be built into tourist attractions, and he really can't bear to destroy their original scenery.

However, buildings such as military facilities are destined to be far away from the sight of ordinary people, and he has never been able to find a more suitable place.

Just when Jiang Cheng felt in trouble, a flash of light flashed in his mind, making Jiang Cheng extremely excited.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, and directly pressed the "Super Acceleration" button in front of him!

Immediately, a string of dark blue flames emitted from Xiao Hei's tail, and then jumped forward at an extremely fast speed.

...

Twenty minutes later.

Southwest of Emerald Island, about 60 nautical miles from Octopus Island.

Jiang Cheng, who was driving Xiaohei, was slowly flying in the air.

At this time, Jiang Cheng, with all his attention, was constantly scanning the sea in front of him, as if he was searching for something.

As time passed, when Jiang Cheng kept changing his position, a strangeness finally appeared on the boundless blue sea ahead.

I saw that there was a hint of gray and black "land" color in the uniform blue tone.

Of course, this is not land, but a reef.

The so-called reef plate is a huge reef formed by the accumulation of a large number of reef-building corals and calcium carbonate skeletons of other organisms, that is, a coral reef!

The reef in front of you is oval in shape. Although the rocky part exposed on the sea surface is only a few hundred square meters, the part hidden below the sea surface is still huge.

Jiang Cheng, who was sitting on the flying car, saw this most clearly.

In fact, in Jiang Cheng's opinion, if this huge reef is considered to be the part of the seabed, the area is still much larger than that of Octopus Island, at least a few square kilometers.

However, since it is mostly hidden underwater, it loses its great value.

Jiang Cheng had discovered this island long ago when he was surveying the waters around the Emerald Island, but he gave it up because it had no practical value.

However, just for a moment, Jiang Cheng thought of a certain possibility!

Under the premise of this possibility, Jiang Cheng even felt that the opportunity to expand his territory and territorial sea was coming!

Island reclamation!

The so-called island-building is to transform the original sea area and reef into land through artificial technical means!

This is an important development method for coastal countries or cities with tight land area!

On a parallel earth, Jiang Cheng knew that many countries and cities were using this method to create land or artificial islands.

Like the Netherlands, large-scale land reclamation has been started since a very early age. Today, 20% of the Dutch land is artificially reclaimed!

However, as far as Jiang Cheng knows, on the current Blue Star, due to the wider land area, it seems that no country has taken the lead in starting this kind of land-building operation.

At the same time, the act of building land is not only a simple "filling", but also requires a lot of mechanical manufacturing technology support, and requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Therefore, its difficulty can be imagined.

And things like reclamation and island building are even more difficult!

After all, there is no "island-building artifact" like a cutter suction dredger in this world!

The so-called cutter suction dredger is a special large-scale functional ship. It can use the rotating reamer to loosen the seabed soil, mix it with cement to form mud, and finally suck it into the pump body through the suction pipe and discharge it by the discharger. The mud pipe is sent to the designated location.

It can be said that with this kind of island-building artifact, as long as you can find a shallow sea area like a reef, you can build an island out of thin air!

On earth, Huaguo has strong research and development capabilities in cutter suction dredgers. In just a few years, it has successively developed three cutter suction dredgers, Tianqi, Tianjing, and Tiankun. The mud boat, the filling capacity is also linearly improved.

The newly developed Tiankun has a reamer power of 6,600 kilowatts and can dred 6,000 cubic meters of mud per hour, which is extremely abnormal!

What is this concept?

This means that the Tiankun can dig a volume as large as a one-meter-deep football field in one hour, that is to say, a small island can be built in one day!

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help getting excited.

With this kind of island-making artifact, in this vast sea, as long as Jiang Cheng finds a reef that is only as big as a rock, he can turn it into an island in just one day!

This is nothing short of robbery!

You must know that the current situation in the entire world is that all coastal countries are using various methods to compete for islands in the sea, but they are powerless against those ultra-small islands and reefs.

Because these small islands and reefs cannot be stationed at all, and it is difficult to even approach them.

Under such a background, major countries are rushing to occupy those large islands one after another, and they have all selectively given up on these small islands and reefs.

And in this way, it is tantamount to leaving a chance for Jiang Cheng!

After all, there is no such powerful island-making artifact as the cutter suction dredger in the world at present.

Perhaps to others, these small islands and reefs are dispensable, but in Jiang Cheng's eyes, they are no different from large islands!

As long as Jiang Cheng can manufacture the cutter suction dredger first, all the small islands and reefs in the sea can fall into Jiang Cheng's hands obediently!

And in this way, Jiang Cheng's territory and territorial sea can be expanded without limit!

Then, the location of the construction of the military base will be settled!
