A huge and familiar figure appeared on the sea. Ye Chen has seen it many times in the media. That is our artificial island.
Man-made island, which is a term that has become famous worldwide in recent years. For the past few years, Tianchao has been making islands in the South China Sea and has become the focus of global attention.
"Artificial island." Ye Chen was too excited.
"Artificial island!" Everyone on the plane screamed.
In recent years, the Tianchao made large-scale islands in the South China Sea. This is a major event of the world, and everyone in the Tianchao knows it. This is a very exciting thing, which means that the dynasty is about to recapture the islands of the South China Sea.
Unfortunately, there is no chance to come to the artificial island. Now, the opportunity has come. Finally, you can see the artificial island with your own eyes. You can go up to see the artificial island. Who can't get excited?
Ye Chen lay on the window, looking at the artificial island, his eyes rounded.
The special plane was landing, and it was getting closer and closer to the ground. Ye Chen was particularly proud of looking at the ground, which was the outpost of our country.
As soon as the special plane stopped, Ye Chen scrambled to open his seat belt and stood up, anxious to step on the island reef immediately.
There are many anxious people like Ye Chen, who is not as good as the technical team?
After all, standing on the ramp, Ye Chen looked out, and saw that the long runway was very clean. There are many buildings on the island, trees and flowers, and vegetable gardens.
Inhaling, the air was hot, a little hot, and a sea smell. However, Ye Chen felt that it was like Qiongmaoyulu, which made him drunk and couldn't help but take a few sips. Then he was content to hold the ramp to get off the plane.
There are many people like Ye Chen, and the technical team is all the same.
They have been yearning for the artificial island. When they first came to the island, they must breathe the air on the island.
Ye Chen stepped on the ground, struggling hard, and there was a sense of solidity on the soles of his feet, which made him feel real.
If it weren't for the South China Sea test this time, I don't know when it will be possible to set foot on the artificial island.
"Xiaoye, this is your first visit to the South China Sea. Let me walk with you." Admiral Gan put Ye Chen's cheerful look in his eyes and suggested.
"Head, is this alright? Don't you have military service?" Ye Chen couldn't bear it.
Admiral Gan is the chief officer of the strategic army. There is more military affairs to deal with, and it is rare to accompany Ye Chen. However, if he was burdened with military affairs, Ye Chen felt that his sins would be serious.
"The military affairs are not in a hurry, so we can deal with them in advance. I can hardly come out once, and take advantage of this opportunity to relax." Ye Chen can remind him that there is military affairs to deal with, which is very good. Look.
As the chief of the strategic army, General Gan has a lot of military affairs to deal with, and he has a rare leisure time in a year. Come out this time and take a break.
"All right. Thank you, Chief." Ye Chen gladly said.
The first time I came to the island, I was not familiar with the situation. It would be great if someone accompanied me to explain. Ye Chen had no reason to refuse.
"I'm the host, and I'll walk with you, too." Admiral Luo looked at the island and reef for a while, and said with emotion: "I haven't come for a while."
He was originally a general in the South China Sea, but now he has risen. It is not easy to come to the South China Sea.
The two admirals accompanied Ye Chen. What a big face, the team members are very envious and can't wait to change Ye Chen. However, this is Ye Chen, they can't compare, they have to watch the artificial island in groups of three or five.
It's a rare opportunity. If you missed it, you don't know when you will have a chance to come again. Don't miss it.
Accompanied by General Luo and General Gan, the three men wandered around the island.
Ye Chen looked at the neat road, the rows of trees and flowers, the greenery, and the clusters of buildings, and was very moved. "I remember seeing the picture of the island for the first time. At that time, there were only runways and airports. Nothing. Now, there is everything there, and the construction speed is not ordinary. This is the sky speed! "
Celestial speed?
General Luo and General Gan glanced at each other, and nodded gently, very much appreciated Ye Chen's comment.
"In the beginning, the photos were released after the infrastructure was completed. Now, more than a year has passed, and the situation is definitely different." General Luo explained to Ye Chen, "We built artificial islands, not for face-saving projects. Not to show people, but to be of great use. "
Constructing an artificial island is not that easy. It requires a lot of money and advanced technology. The country has spent so much effort building artificial islands because artificial islands have great value.
"Island making can be divided into three steps. The first step is to make islands based on the reefs protruding from the sea." General Luo continued: "In this regard, our country has the most advanced technology in the world. Previously, We also carried out reclamation to make islands, but the technology at that time was too backward and it needed to be carried from the mainland. It was costly, inefficient and very uneconomical. "
It is a traditional method to reclaim land from the mainland for island construction. Until now, this method has been used in most of the world's island making.
This method has low technical content, huge cost, and poor efficiency.
Especially for our country, it is almost impossible to build enough islands in the South China Sea in this way.
Because the South China Sea has more than three million square kilometers, most of them belong to our country. To actually control it, you need a lot of islands.
With so many islands and using this method to build, the results can be imagined.
"Our country has vast seas and territories. If we want to create enough islands in this way to meet our needs, it is very unrealistic. After the efforts of our national scientific and technological personnel, we have the most advanced island-building technology in the world. We do n’t need to carry soil from the mainland, we get the materials locally. This saves effort, saves money, and is extremely efficient.
General Luo pointed to the artificial island and said,
We ​​only spent a few years, we With such a huge achievement, in the past, it was unimaginable. "
The mud needed for an artificial island is amazing. When it is transported from the mainland to the South China Sea, it is inefficient and even more speechless. If the traditional island-building method is adopted, it should not be said that such an amazing achievement in just a few years is ten years or even longer.
"Before, there was only one reef here. Now, it is already a big island." Admiral Luo gestured.
Ye Chen saw it, and the island is now several times larger than the original reef. Moreover, in just a few years, our country has not only turned this place into an island, but also planted flowers and grass, and built so many houses.
"The second stage is to carry out infrastructure construction." General Luo continued.
"I remember that when we carried out infrastructure construction, the Western world, led by the United States, accused us together, accusing us of being wrong and wrong." Ye Chen took the conversation and sneered: "Japan is the most shameless in the matter of making islands. Obviously it is just a few stones that are exposed from the sea, and even the reefs are not counted, but Japan is called an island. Then, Japan created artificial islands, which are solemnly owned. What qualifications does Japan have to blame us? "
"They are a double standard. Only state officials are allowed to set fire and people are not allowed to light." General Gan commented.
"Chief, you're very kind. According to me, this is typical of both selling meat and building a brand." Ye Chen said with a scorn of his lips.
"Xiaoye, you're really welcome. However, I like it." General Luo smiled.
Admiral Gan nodded in approval.
Is there any country in the western world headed by the United States that hasn't done this? Why can these western countries do it, but our country cannot? This is typical Western hegemonic thinking.
Ye Chen's metaphor is really fit. The United States and Japan are not only selling meat, but they are also not allowed to say that they have to set up a brand for themselves and how sacred they are.
"Once the infrastructure was built, our country tested it and came up with a method that surprised the whole world, which is to test it with a civilian aircraft." Ye Chen applauded: "This is a wise approach. "
General Luo and General Gan applauded.
This hand is very intelligent, which can not only criticize us outside, but also can measure the airport's good or bad.
Because the take-off and landing requirements of civil aircraft are much higher than those of military use, it is not a problem for military aircraft to be able to take off and land.
Another advantage of this is that it can reduce outside criticism and reduce unnecessary trouble.
Of course, no matter what we do, Western countries headed by the United States always blame us. This is useless to them. What is useful for these countries is the fist. Who refuses to accept it and smashes it with you with one punch, depending on whether you are convinced or not?
"The third step is to build living facilities." General Luo pointed to the tall buildings in front of him and said, "Xiaoye, look, this is our living facilities, including housing, communication facilities, weather forecasts, pig farms, vegetable farms. and many more."
To recover the South China Sea, our country needs some bases, which requires islands. Once the island is built, relevant personnel need to be stationed, which requires them to provide living facilities.
Food and accommodation have become inevitable.
"Of course, are there military facilities like these?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.
"If it is external, we will not admit it, we will only say that this is to improve living conditions and serve the world." Admiral Gan said, "But for Xiaoye, we can speak frankly, that is necessary."
If there is no military facility, what else is there to recover the South China Sea? Does the United States still regard the South China Sea as its own back garden?
It has been half a month since the US aircraft carrier arrived in the South China Sea, and it was not to leave, but it was afraid to enter our territorial waters. It is because the United States is afraid of our military installations. Without these military facilities, American aircraft carriers would n’t be like they used to be.
Surely it won't be as restless as it is now. Maybe I've been back and forth several times in the South China Sea.
"Xiaoye, tonight, I will treat you with the pork, vegetables and purified water raised by the soldiers on this island." General Luo waved his right hand and was very proud, saying: "The package permits to impress you profound."
"Okay." Ye Chen gladly agreed.
"Xiaoye, do you know what happened on this island during the 712 confrontation last year?" General Gan asked again.
