Chapter 7: Hongwan Airport, Swan Harbor!

"Di...Please choose a location for the construction."
At this time, the system prompt sounded, and then jumped out of the 3D flat thumbnail projection of Emerald Island.
The undulating mountains, winding rivers, towering volcanoes, open plains, and all the natural topography are clearly displayed in front of him, making Jiang Cheng clear at a glance.
Jiang Cheng's eyes moved, focusing on the Dream Paradise Resort Special Zone.
Dream Paradise Holiday Special Zone, located in the southeast of Emerald Island, has a planned area of ​​213 square kilometers and ranks fourth among the seven major urban areas of Emerald Island. It is 391 kilometers long from north to south and 78 kilometers from east to west.
The whole territory is bordered by the Six Finger Mountains in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east, forming a long and narrow polygon. The coastline in the territory is 496 kilometers long and there are 23 large and small bays, mainly including Dream Bay, Paradise Bay, Centipede Bay, Moon Bay, etc.
To be honest, although the scenery of the Dream Paradise Resort is unique, the long and narrow terrain and many peaks make it unsuitable for large-scale construction facilities such as an airport.
Jiang Cheng also thought about placing the airport in the neighboring city of Gonzal. If the city is to be built in the future, the two major urban areas can also share the same airport, saving a lot of money.
However, in this way, Jiang Cheng had to build an extra highway for this, and even a high-speed railway to welcome the large-scale passengers in the future.
Comparing the two, it seems a bit unworthy!
In addition, there is another point worth considering. In the future, Gonzales City will be among the top cities in the world. How can a small 4C-class airport meet the passenger throughput of tens of millions of passengers?
Therefore, this small 4C airport is better placed in the Dream Paradise Resort.
But where should I put it?
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly and moved his fingers continuously, searching on the flat projection of the Dream Paradise Resort.
Suddenly, a relatively gentle mountain appeared in Jiang Cheng's line of sight, making his eyes brightened suddenly.
It is located in the south of Dream Paradise City, with the Six Fingers Mountains in the north and Hongyue Bay in the south.
The direction of the runway goes straight to the sea. The only thing to worry about is whether its narrow terrain can meet the length of the airport runway. If it is not enough, I am afraid that the plane will plunge into the sea before taking off.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately dragged the 3D model of the airport and placed it towards the hillside.
"Di...discovered the airport building space, construction conditions are being calculated..."
"Di...satisfy the airport construction conditions, please name the airport!"
"Huh...Finally!"
Hearing these words, Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and a big rock in his heart finally fell.
It seems that developing islands is really not an easy task. This is just the beginning, and it has encountered many difficulties.
"Hongwan Airport!"
Since the airport is adjacent to Hongyue Bay, of course it is more appropriate to name it according to the location.
"Di...The airport was named successfully, and we are working hard..."
The mechanical sound of the system sounds, and a progress bar is added on the main interface, which shows the countdown to construction: 7 days.
At the same time, Jiang Cheng noticed that the entire 20-mile radius of Hongyue Bay was suddenly shrouded in a thick white mist, which looked like it had disappeared from the 3D projection.
"Um... well, this is also system black technology!"
Muttered in his heart, Jiang Cheng returned the interface to the construction system again.
Regarding the port construction plan, Jiang Cheng thought about it carefully. Although the Dream Paradise Resort is positioned as a tourist city, it is mainly for tourists from all over the world.
However, it is also a city after all, and there will be immigrants who will settle here in the future.
In addition, Dream Paradise is the largest of the four major resorts, reaching more than 200 square kilometers. Such an urban area can accommodate millions of people.
Therefore, considering the two factors, the Dream Paradise Resort cannot be positioned as an ordinary tourist destination, but must fully consider the huge permanent population in the future.
In this way, the port must be expanded because it not only has to dock cruise ships, passenger ships, and passengers, but also support some functions of the commercial port, such as loading and unloading cargo, supplementing supplies, and so on.
After thinking about this, Jiang Cheng directly positioned the port as a commercial level.
【Name】: Small commercial port
[Parameters]: channel X6, breakwater X3, dock X12, port railway X4, other supporting facilities X1, large berth X16, medium berth X32, small berth X60
[Area]: 2.6 square kilometers of land, 21 square kilometers of water
[Cost]: 13.2 million US dollars
[Time-consuming]: 7 days
"Huh... another 13.2 million dollars, I can still hold it!"
Jiang Cheng's eyes twitched violently, and he forced a breath, pressing the "build" button with pain on his face.
"Di...Please choose a location for construction!"
The natural conditions of the Dream Paradise Resort are superior, with 23 large and small bays. However, the location of the port construction must not be too close to the tourist core area and must have a deep draft.
After such screening, there are only two bays to choose from, one is Centipede Bay in the hinterland of Liuzhi Mountain, and the other is Swan Bay, the northernmost of the city.
Centipede Bay has a special geographical location, close to the Six Fingers Mountain Range, surrounded on three sides by cliffs up to 100 meters high, with rugged rocks, constantly changing, and the water quality is clear, you can see the colorful coral landscape tens of meters deep underwater.
Such a good place is very suitable to be developed into a diving resort for diving enthusiasts to enjoy adventure. Therefore, Jiang Cheng only thought about it and excluded it.
So, only Swan Bay is left.
Swan Bay, located to the north of the Dream Paradise Resort, has a long and narrow terrain, calm and calm, 12 kilometers deep inland, shaped like a slender swan neck.
If the port is built here, it will coincide with Hongwan Airport, one south and one north, forming two major transportation hubs that echo the north and south. It not only perfectly staggers the core area of ​​the resort, but also plays a role in dispersing the flow of people.
This is it!
"Di... meet the port construction conditions, please name the port!"
"Swan Harbor!"
"Di...the port is named successfully, and we are working hard..."
Airports and ports, and even the normal operation of the entire city, are inseparable from power and energy facilities, so the next thing to do is the construction of power facilities.
Jiang Cheng directly transferred the energy building section of the construction system.
Thermal power plants, hydroelectric power plants, wind power plants, geothermal power plants, tidal power plants, solar power plants, nuclear power plants...
There are all kinds of power plants, covering the entire interface, dazzling Jiang Cheng.
As for how to choose, he hesitated for a while.
However, one thing is certain is that the use of coal, oil and other fuels to generate electricity in thermal power plants is definitely not desirable.
Just kidding, this is a holiday resort, and a big smoke pipe with a plume of gray and black smoke is erected. It is really unsightly, and it doesn't scare the tourists away.
Moreover, even for long-term considerations, the construction of this power plant should be clean, pollution-free, and even zero-emission power plants.
Emerald Island is located to the west of the Pacific Ocean and has excellent natural energy resources such as sea water, wind, sunlight, and tides. Therefore, the development of natural power plants without emissions is definitely the first choice.
What embarrassed Jiang Cheng is that these natural power plants are extremely expensive and have relatively limited power generation. It is very difficult to build a single power plant to meet the electricity consumption of millions of people.
However, if a comprehensive plan is to construct a batch of solar power plants, wind power plants, and tidal power plants, it can barely meet the initial needs of urban construction.
As for future demand, capacity can be expanded accordingly.
After careful consideration, Jiang Cheng still plans to take the road of clean energy.
