Chapter 465 The Miracle of the Great Wall of China
No. 138 sailed into the Shenzhou floating dock. This floating dock has now become the most famous floating dock in the country, and even the most famous in the world. It showed its prowess when transporting the Dongfanghai Ducheng back to China.
Let the native chickens have nothing to say.
After returning, the floating dock was idle for several months. This time, it was used again.
After all, other docks are busy, some are building ships, and some are repairing ships. Only this floating dock is still empty, and it is just in use this time.
Mutisin's eyes were filled with anticipation, and he became excited when he saw the cruiser slowly moving into the floating dock.
He finally got it. From this day on, he would watch the warship slowly transform into what it looked like in the design. Thinking of the combat effectiveness it would have after the improvements, he was very much looking forward to it.
In the distance, frigate No. 054 also completed its sea trial project and returned to the outfitting dock. Many people disembarked from the warship, many more than those who set off.
Qin Tao accompanied a group of leaders to the dock. Almost all the leaders were looking towards Dawu. Qin Tao knew what they were looking at.
"Dear leaders, the ship is currently installing an engine, and the rust removal operation will be completed soon." Qin Tao could only report the progress to the leaders: "If the leaders can stay in our shipyard for dinner, after dinner
You can go and have a look."
"I heard that the food at Mingzhou Shipyard is very good, so we are in good luck." The leader immediately expressed his position, seeming to have forgotten that today's schedule has been completely disrupted.
Therefore, Qin Tao could only quickly arrange for people to prepare dinner and report on the progress of the Mingzhou Group. At night, he took a group of leaders up to have a look around, and then accompanied the leaders and allowed them to leave with satisfaction.
.
A few days later, the No. 500 frigate successfully completed all sea trials and began sailing south to the base of the Southern Fleet. Qin Tao also headed south during this period. Of course, he would not follow slowly.
Went with the warship.
"It's a pity that the airport's runway is not long enough. Otherwise, our An-225 transport aircraft could transport hundreds of tons of supplies at a time." Qin Tao said to Xu Zhengyang beside him as he walked onto the Yunba.
Xu Zhengyang nodded: "Yes, the area to be filled is still not big enough. Should we continue the construction?"
Qin Tao shook his head: "In order to avoid irritating some people, let's forget it. After all, the 2,600-meter runway is not short. We are going there this time for the construction of Shuangsha Island Fishery Resort. We are here for
We went there to develop it.”
Xu Zhengyang looked at the supplies being transported on the plane, with a complicated expression on his face.
A few days ago, the hardening of the airport's runway finally ended. It was only then that the outside world knew what the double-sand island, which could only accommodate stilt houses, had become now.
They were extremely shocked, but there was no other way. After all, these had already been built!
Although the runway has been established, no aircraft have been deployed so far. This Y8 is the first transport aircraft to fly over, and the transports are all prepared for Shuangsha Island Fishery Resort, so,
No one else could say anything.
The transport plane takes off from the airport and flies southward, which is much faster than sailing on the sea.
"The port already has more than a dozen berths, and your yacht is right there." Xu Zhengyang continued to tell Qin Tao about the things on the island on the plane.
"Okay, it's not easy for us to go there. Let's just shoot some videos and make them into a promotional video for Shuangsha Island Fishing Resort after we go back. From now on, we won't go to Madai anymore. It's good to come to our island."
"
Time passed little by little, and in the afternoon, we flew over Shuangsha Island.
If you look at it from the sky, Shuangsha Island is very beautiful.
This is a circular island, somewhat like an apple. The northwest corner of the island is the widest, and the inclined runway looks very spectacular.
The length of the runway is 2660 meters and the width is 55 meters. It is really unrealistic for An-225 to take off and land, but it is
For the Yinba, which has a load capacity of only twenty tons, it is easy.
By the time the plane stopped, a group of people had already rushed over from the side of the runway.
"Mr. Qin, welcome to Shuangsha Island!" The first person to greet him was Lin Liang. He is the village chief here. According to the public announcement, he can also be regarded as the island owner here.
"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Tao held Lin Liang's hand.
"It's not hard, we came here a week ago." Lin Liang said, "We are setting up a fish farming base. Mr. Qin, I will take you over to have a look later!"
Qin Tao nodded.
Because it was for civilian purposes, the soldiers guarding Shuangsha Island did not come up to greet him. They just lined up in a neat line and walked through bravely.
That kind of energy, not to mention how impressive it is.
When they first came here, they could only roll up their trouser legs and walk around the reef in the sea. But now? They can run around the reef and do a thirty-kilometer cross-country trip!
This place has become an island.
Zhang Haiyang, who saw the transformation process here with his own eyes, felt extremely happy.
"Platoon Commander Zhang, or Company Commander Zhang, come here!"
Hearing Qin Tao's words, Zhang Haiyang ran over: "Mr. Qin, welcome to Shuangsha Island, what are your orders? Our military and civilians are in harmony with each other..."
"Forget it, let's not be polite about this." Qin Tao said: "How many vehicles do your troops stationed on the island have?"
There must have been no cars before. After all, it was inconvenient to walk through the water on foot. What was needed was a boat rather than a car. However, with the completion of the reclamation and construction progress, the area has developed and the area is quite large. It is really difficult without a car.
inconvenient.
"We currently only have two Black King Kongs, which are definitely not comparable to your car. However, if you want to use them, these two cars will be left to you," Zhang Haiyang said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What do I want that thing for?" Qin Tao found out that Zhang Haiyang had misunderstood him: "I want a big car!"
"As for big cars, we have five Dongfeng 240s." Zhang Haiyang looked at Qin Tao in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"Okay, drive these cars to the runway, wait until our plane flies away, and place them evenly across the runway."
"Why?" Zhang Haiyang was a little curious.
"Why?"
"Why? Have you heard about the Davidians' operation in Uganda?"
Man of David, Operation Uganda?
Zhang Haiyang thought for a moment and then said: "Of course I know. This is a successful rescue operation by the special forces. It is simply a template for the special forces of various countries! Back then, the Davids took a plane and forcibly landed at Entebbe Airport."
When he said this, he suddenly reacted: "Mr. Qin, are you worried that someone will suddenly land at our airport?"
Qin Tao nodded.
Zhang Haiyang felt sweat coming out on his back. If Mr. Qin hadn't reminded him, he would have almost ignored this danger.
They have already made countermeasures. For example, they have set up a turret position in two corners of the airport, and the 630 naval gun is squatting directly on it to guard against unexpected situations. Moreover, there are people on duty there day and night.
Does this ensure safety?
Of course not!
What if there is a sudden accident on the plane?
For example, if some aircraft suddenly encounters an unexpected situation during flight and requires an emergency landing here? Just like when the Davidians went to Uganda to rescue the hostages, they forced the plane to land. Because it is a civilian aircraft, no one dares to do so.
Intercept, otherwise it may cause vicious incidents and be scorned by the whole world.
At that time, they could only let the other side land. As a result, after landing, the tanks were driven directly off the plane, and a large group of armed men came down. They might not be able to cope with it!
Once this happens, they will become sinners!
This cannot be blamed on Zhang Haiyang, this tactic was only used by the people of David
It was used before, but it never appeared again, so Zhang Haiyang didn't pay attention to it. After the 21st century, many troops used this classic tactic to raid the opponent's airport, then directly use vehicles to charge and behead them.
action.
So, how to solve it?
In fact, it is very simple. Just block the runway with cars and the problem will be solved.
The runway is divided into several sections. Even the American MC-130J special aircraft will never be able to land. The result of the forced landing is that it will directly hit a car during the landing process and then turn into a ball.
Fireball.
Helicopter?
There is no reason for helicopters!
The other party used the excuse that it was a civilian aircraft. It had malfunctioned and had to land. It was justified.
Helicopters are different. Once a helicopter malfunctions, it will crash directly. If it can fly, there is no need to fly here. Moreover, if it is a helicopter, the range will not be too far and the carrying capacity will not be too high. Really
When you get off the helicopter, it's easy to get dumped by the troops guarding the islands and reefs.
The roar of the engine sounded, all the cargo loaded on the Y8 had been unloaded, and the plane took to the sky again.
As soon as the plane left the runway, five Dongfeng EQ240 trucks drove onto the runway and were arranged in a staggered manner, so that the potential threat disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that the car was properly arranged, Zhang Haiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Qin, thank you for coming. Otherwise, we would have always had hidden dangers."
"Guarding our islands and reefs has a heavy responsibility and there is no room for relaxation. Especially now that the area of Shuangsha Island has expanded, we cannot let what happened five years ago happen again!"
Speaking of what happened five years ago, Zhang Haiyang's heart became heavy: "Yes, we have a heavy responsibility and we must not relax in the slightest!"
"Actually, you did a good job." Qin Tao saw the other party's nervousness and patted him on the shoulder again: "Do a good job and don't have any accidents before leaving the island."
After giving instructions to Zhang Haiyang, Qin Tao continued to talk to Lin Liang.
Just now, Lin Liang didn't interrupt, because he knew how many dangers he faced here, and he also knew how difficult it was to develop the islands and reefs here. It was necessary to prepare for a rainy day.
"Mr. Qin, our car is a bit crude." Lin Liang said to Qin Tao.
Simple?
Qin Tao looked curiously at a convertible not far away: "Electric?"
"Yes, we are far away from the mainland and fuel is precious, so here we use a lot of solar panels. These panels can charge our cars, so we can save energy."
This kind of car is very similar to the electric sightseeing cars in later tourist areas. It can seat three or four people in a row, with seven or eight rows in the front and rear, and is quite spacious.
"Yes, your idea is very good." Qin Tao said: "Zhengyang, ask a photographer to take a picture of it. When we promote it in the future, we can be considered to have made an outstanding contribution to environmental protection!"
Of course, the reason is not for environmental protection, but to save money. Domestic diesel costs three yuan a liter. To transport it here, the transportation cost will be three or four yuan, and the oil price will double. You can use electric vehicles and save some fuel.
, is quite important.
However, when these things came to Qin Tao's mouth, they became taller.
We are for the environment!
"Yes, we are doing it for environmental protection." Lin Liang accepted Qin Tao's statement. From now on, they will not only engage in fishery, but also tourism, and they must have a suitable name for publicity.
It is more than 30 kilometers to circle Shuangsha Island, and it would be impossible without a car.
From the airport, follow the circular island in the north and head east for about five kilometers until you exit the military zone and arrive at Shuangsha Island Fishery Tourism Village.
"The road has not been hardened yet. We can start construction after the next cargo ship arrives." In the car, Lin Liang introduced it to Qin Tao.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In just half a year, Shuangsha Island has undergone earth-shaking changes. After the island filling is completed, of course, the first thing to do is to carry out military projects, especially the airport, and more
It's the top priority.
The follow-up has to be done slowly.
"This is a resort hotel, half of which will be built in the form of villas. The construction period will probably take another one or two years. We are not in a hurry. We will develop the fishery first. We have unique advantages here and are very suitable for fish farming."
As Lin Liang spoke, he stretched his hand to the right: "See, that's the breeding base we just established over there."
Qin Tao looked over and saw that there were fish steaks one after another, and the fry were kept there.
"We stock all rare fish species, including red fish, long fish, seven-star fish, Dongxing grouper, cobia, etc., a total of 300,000 fish. We have fishing boats to catch fresh trash fish directly from the vicinity, such as small cuttlefish.
Small cannonballs and other fish are used as feed. The growth rate of these precious fish species is very fast, which is 30% higher than our production rate near Qiongzhou!"
Speaking of this, Lin Liang was very proud. He had planned to come to the South China Sea to raise fish countless times. This time, he finally realized the plan, and the results were pretty good!
Qin Tao shook his head: "Village Chief Lin, can these devices withstand level 9 waves at sea?"
Resist level 9 storms at sea?
Lin Liang thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Mr. Qin, this seems difficult, right?"
"No matter how difficult it is, this must be done. Otherwise, once we encounter a storm at sea, these investments may be lost."
After hearing Qin Tao's words, Lin Liang's expression became serious.
Although this is an island, it is still far away from the mainland. If there is a storm at sea, they may all be swept away. By then, they will really lose everything.
Of course we can't let this happen, so how should we deal with it?
"This method of using fish fillets is not very safe. Would it be safer if we use a cage method and sink it directly to the bottom of the water?"
Cage?
Sink to the bottom of the water?
Lin Liang's eyes slowly brightened. Yes, if it sinks to the bottom of the water, even if a big storm comes, it will not affect the underwater situation. This will be safer.
"Yes, we need to change the way we raise fish!"
At this time, the car was still moving forward on the road, and the construction site under construction could be seen in front of it.
"What is being built there is a hospital." Lin Liang continued to introduce: "According to your plan, there will be a large hospital on the island. Because it is for both military and civilian use, it must be built in our civilian area. In this way, whether it is us
If you are a fisherman or a tourist, you can come to the hospital for treatment if you have any problems."
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, this arrangement is very appropriate. What are you doing there?"
Qin Tao pointed to the distance, where he could see a drilling rig working. What was the drilling rig doing on the island? He didn't remember that there were oil and gas resources down there!
"We are digging a well to prepare fresh water."
Drill a well?
The reconnaissance satellite in the sky just flew over the sky above and focused its lens on the area here. Countless clear photos were transmitted back through the communication satellite.
After getting these satellite photos, a group of people started talking.
"Let me see what they plan to do on the Great Wall of China." Swift took the photo curiously while holding a cigar in his mouth.
At first, they thought they were dredging and cleaning up the river. Later, Shuangsha Island began to expand rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they began to become sour.
Is this a plan to reclaim the sea and build an island? Even if it is built, it will still be a Great Wall of Sand, a fortress made of sand. What use can it be?
Their mouths were sour, and the words they spoke were full of contempt.
Now, after seeing the photo, Swift frowned: "What are they doing? Why are they deploying vehicles on the runway? No, it's so unprofessional, so unprofessional!"
Swift was very dissatisfied with this approach.
Since this island
It has been filled in, so of course they have to make corresponding arrangements. According to their plan, there was the idea of using MC-130J special aircraft to directly transport special forces to force a landing.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually used this method!
"Yes, this way, we won't be able to forcefully land there." The secretary on the side was also annoyed: "How could they do this?"
Swift put down the photo angrily, picked up another one, and laughed again: "Dig a well? What kind of well are they digging?"
"It looks like they are planning to drill a well to get water," said a person on the side.
"Drilling wells to get water?" Swift laughed so hard that her hands trembled and she almost stopped holding the photo: "Drilling holes on an island made of sand like this, aren't they afraid of sinking the Great Wall of Sand?"
Things piled up with sand should collapse at the first touch. Who would have thought that the other party would be so naive as to want to draw water on it. Fresh water can appear on a small island in the sea? How is this possible?
They might as well use a few more basins and wait until it rains to get more fresh water!
In short, no one thought it was possible to get fresh water on the island.
At this time, on the island, the first glass of water had been pumped out of the first well drilled.
The geologists were so excited when they held the glass of water that they immediately stuck out their tongues and licked the water without even waiting for the test.
"It's not salty, it doesn't have any salty smell, it's fresh water! Sure enough, our fresh water lens theory is correct!"
Freshwater lens theory?
Qin Tao also became excited: "It's really done? That's great!"
He heard this theory from geologists last time.
This place has a tropical maritime monsoon climate, with abundant and even precipitation throughout the year. This precipitation is real fresh water. Unfortunately, except for some basins to collect water, there are no other means on the island.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the bottom of this island is soluble limestone, which has a certain water permeability and a large number of holes. Due to the difference in density between seawater and freshwater, seawater cannot penetrate
Molten limestone can only be formed by fresh water falling from the sky and seeping from the surface.
In this way, this layer of rock forms a so-called "freshwater lens" that isolates seawater from freshwater. In a certain area of the island, there will be a pure freshwater area.
However, this is just a theory, and it is only now that the theory has finally become a reality.
"The fresh water we pump out is quite precious and cannot be wasted. It should be used as water for residents. For construction, it still has to be transported from the land." Qin Tao said.
Seawater cannot be used to mix concrete, so the current construction uses fresh water transported on land. When the waterway here is dug, the Navy's comprehensive supply ship will come directly and can provide the water in one go.
Supply thousands of tons of fresh water.
The existing fresh water on the island can be used as water for residents, hospitals, etc., of course there is no problem, but if it is used as water for construction, it would be too wasteful. The function of this fresh water is to ensure that the residents of the island are safe.
It can live for a long time without external supply.
"Yes, you are right." A geological expert said excitedly: "We must not fish all the water. We have to drill more wells nearby and put in monitoring equipment to monitor changes in water quality. If the fresh water extracted
Too much may cause seawater to seep in, making the fresh water salty and unusable.”
"Fight as necessary. Don't worry, our island won't collapse."
Although it is indeed piled up with sand, there are piles outside, and the construction of cement slope protection has now begun. After these are built, the island will be more stable and last forever. It will never be ruined just by digging a few wells.
