Chapter 154: Build the second artificial island!

Do what you think.
Jiang Cheng, who has always been vigorous and resolute, realized the necessity of expanding his territory and immediately took action.
First of all, of course, the construction of large quantities of cutter suction dredgers can greatly speed up the progress of Chusha Tim Island.
Jiang Cheng came to the Future Ship Laboratory and discussed the near-term production plan with the chief designer and engineers here.
For more than half a year, the shipyard on Emerald Island has been busy producing high-speed transport ships and some military ships. Due to the limited production docks, there is no way to roll out all types of ships.
The various types of ships exhibited at the last science and technology expo have only arranged a few production plans and are ready to be sold to some close partners who have already booked them.
After understanding the current status of shipbuilding in Emerald Island, Jiang Cheng realized that it was necessary to expand the scale of production.
Nowadays, all shipbuilding industries are concentrated on Octopus Island, and the area of ​​Octopus Island is small, which undoubtedly limits the scale of the shipyard.
However, Jiang Cheng was reluctant to expand the shipyard to other islands, because he had planned for those islands for the future to build the "city of islands" on Emerald Island.
Therefore, if you really want to build a new shipyard, you can only build a new island like Nanyao Island.
In the end, after some discussions, Jiang Cheng decided on the most important job at the moment.
That is, gather all the cutter suction dredgers to find new reef zones around Emerald Island and open up new territories.
After the order was issued, the marine exploration ship docked at the port of Octopus Island was dispatched, and careful exploration activities began in the waters around Emerald Island.
For a long time, Jiang Cheng has not carefully explored the conditions of the seabed around Emerald Island. It happened to be possible to use this opportunity to figure out the topographic map of the nearby seabed, and to prepare for future deep ocean development.
...
The exploration work in the waters around Emerald Island was completed in three days under the exploration of three high-tech exploration ships, and Jiang Cheng brought back an ultra-detailed topographic map of the seabed.
Through this topographic map of the seabed, Jiang Cheng can be regarded as having a clearer understanding of the sea area under his control.
Moreover, after some observations, he really found a lot of shallow waters worth using.
Among them, Jiang Cheng's most important area is located in the north of Emerald Island, about 120 nautical miles away from Emerald Island.
This is a submarine reef. The highest point is only 3 to 4 meters away from the sea surface at low tide. The most important thing is that the area of ​​this reef is very large. If it is really filled, the area will even exceed 15 square kilometers, which is comparable. The largest outlying island of Emerald Island, the area of ​​Ivory Island!
Of course, if you want to fill such a submarine reef, the money it will cost will be a super astronomical figure!
However, the most important thing that Emerald Island currently lacks is money!
Therefore, Jiang Cheng is not worried about money.
What really made him hesitate was the geographical location of this submarine reef, very close to Riben!
According to the map, this submarine reef is almost 100 nautical miles away from the Liuqiu Islands in the southernmost part of Riben!
This distance is already closer than Emerald Island!
In other words, if this artificial island is really built, then the sphere of influence of the Emerald Island can be expanded to 120 nautical miles away!
The buffer zone between Emerald Island and the nearest military power will also be reduced by more than half!
This is absolutely dangerous!
It is almost predictable that once the cutter suction dredger of Emerald Island starts construction on that submarine reef, the whole country will be in madness!
This is Chiguoguodi's strategic space to compress Riben!
I am afraid it will not be tolerated by any country in the world.
What's more, the opponent that Jiang Cheng provokes this time is another maritime power with a very strong military strength. The naval power alone is about to explode Han Guo's existence!
Therefore, making such a decision to open up the territory is not so easy.
However, after some inner struggle, Jiang Cheng decided to take action!
...
Half a month later, taking advantage of the twilight, eighteen cutter suction dredgers that looked like giant steel beasts slowly departed from Port No. 3 of Octopus Island and headed for the northern waters.
And shortly after the twelve dredgers went to sea, a large number of military ships also left the port one after another and followed.
For this action, Jiang Cheng and a group of high-level officials on Emerald Island made careful preparations.
Including how to deal with the strong protests from Japan after the official start of construction, and what posture will Emerald Island prepare to counterattack after the other side adopts tough military measures.
In short, after all kinds of preparatory work, today's action came.
These twelve cutter suction dredgers are all the island-building equipment currently owned by Emerald Island. In addition, there are four new-type dredgers under construction and I believe they will be officially put into use soon.
With these 22 dredgers, the filling process of the new island is bound to be greatly improved.
According to efficiency calculations, in just one day, these island-building artifacts can fill an island of 80,000 square meters. Therefore, the construction speed is still very amazing.
The reason why they were all dispatched, Jiang Cheng was to make a lightning raid to build the artificial island as soon as possible, resulting in established facts, thereby reducing the pressure when facing Japanese challenges.
Jiang Cheng believes that as long as the island owner can be built as quickly as possible, he will be able to take the initiative by then.
Jiang Cheng was not afraid of facing military provocations from the other side.
This is where his greatest confidence lies!
Regarding the construction of the island’s blow-and-fill construction, Jiang Cheng has already worked out a thorough plan, and it’s not the first time he blow-filled an island. Nanyao Island is a very successful case, which has accumulated a lot of experience for him .
...
More than a dozen dredgers, after several hours of sailing, finally arrived at the target sea area at dawn, while a large number of military ships behind them spread out quickly and guarded this sea area. All around, there is a faint meaning of blocking this sea area.
The military ships Jiang Cheng brought this time are all new types of ships integrating reconnaissance, prospecting, alert, and defense, and they are very suitable for the current situation.
In order for the plan to build an island to be successfully completed, adequate military protection measures are still necessary.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng believes that Riben's intelligence department will discover the abnormal situation in this sea area soon, after all, it is not far from the other side's territory.
At that time, the Japanese side will inevitably send a survey boat to investigate. At this time, it is the stage of real wrestling with each other!
