At the section of the Panama Canal near the Atlantic Ocean, Qin Changfeng had not been so nervous in many years. He even felt sweat oozing out of his palms.
His eyes were fixed on the canal in the distance, where the merchant ships had already entered the lock gate.
According to their original design, this section required the sluices to be opened to lower the water level to allow ships to pass.
But no matter how much the water level has dropped now, this thing seems somewhat magical.
If the water level drops too much, the merchant ship may hit the bottom, which is something no one wants to see.
Qin Changfeng watched the water level slowly drop, watching helplessly as the ship dropped in height in his field of vision.
When it drops to a certain height, the gate opens.
Qin Changfeng watched the boat pole move forward, slowly crossing the river and entering another gate.
In his eyes, the ship was like an old man descending the stairs, cautious but very safe.
Finally sailing out of the Panama Canal with his sight!
Seeing this scene, Qin Changfeng was so excited that his body and mind trembled. The Panama Canal they built was successful!
This is a world-class project built under his supervision, and its difficulty is several times that of building the Suez Canal.
Such a project is now completed in his hands.
Qin Changfeng could not hide his excitement. The construction workers on both sides of the canal shed tears of excitement when they saw the successful construction of the Panama Canal.
The successful construction of this canal will bring unprecedented development to the surrounding areas, and no one can ignore all this development.
And such an epoch-making canal was built in their hands.
The Spanish spies lurking among the crowd felt even more anxious and humiliated after seeing the successful construction of the Panama Canal.
When they first built a colony in Panama, they not only thought about building a canal here to open the pass between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
But this idea did not succeed.
At that time, the Spanish government thought that building this canal would cost an unknown amount of money, but now it is seen that Long Yan has built the canal here.
This is simply more uncomfortable than losing money themselves.
But now, this is an indisputable fact, and they no longer have the ability to continue to dictate this area.
Spain now also has to worry about troops from the Portuguese colonies.
I live in fear every day.
France and Britain also received the news at about this time.
The Panama Canal is opened!
After learning that Long Yan had established a city-state in Panama, they became very afraid.
Richard even learned that Long Yan was building the Panama Canal here, and immediately launched an attack on Long Yan's army.
But such an attack obviously did not take Longyan's troops seriously.
In the end, the French failed and lost large parts of their important colonies.
Now the French are looking at this canal that has shrunk their colony because the French have suffered huge losses but did not take it down.
They felt even more aggrieved, but they no longer had enough ability to continue fighting against the Long Yan Army.
Even now they still need to shake hands with Long Yan's army and make peace in exchange for Long Yan's weapons.
Use these weapons to defend against their feud, their true enemy, Britain!
The British were also hiding among them, and they watched the construction of the Panama Canal succeed.
There was even more envy, jealousy and hatred in my heart!
Britain and Long Yan fought for control of the Suez Canal in Egypt, but unfortunately they failed.
