Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 242: million to build a road network across the island
This facility is so huge that it is simply hellish in terms of construction difficulty.

Especially on an outlying island, the topography and geological conditions are very complicated. Even if it is handed over to a larger construction team in Hong Kong Island, such as the construction team cooperating with Hezhong Group, when they come to Tenglong Island and see such construction conditions, they will most likely shake their heads or even refuse to do it no matter how much money they are paid.

There is no other way. It is too difficult to dig such a wide and deep pit on the island to accommodate two floors. It may take ten years to complete.

The Tech Engine app, however, took only 15 days! It’s truly amazing.

Of course, there is probably already a cave underground here, which can be used with a little renovation.

Hu Jiangshan didn't care about all that anymore. He went to the central control room, started the facility's power system, and powered on all the equipment.

There were no problems and it passed the acceptance successfully.

Hu Jiangshan pulled out the facility structure diagram and discovered that in addition to the entrance, there were several entrances and exits inside the facility.

No, those entrances and exits seem very large, probably for construction vehicles to enter and exit.

Hu Jiangshan also carefully studied the core functions of the facility, which is infrastructure planning and construction.

Surprisingly, when Hu Jiangshan entered the planning page, he immediately saw the full map of Tenglong Island.

It turns out that this facility has already scanned the entire terrain of Tenglong Island in advance, and it is a high-resolution map, so every detail can be seen clearly.

Hu Jiangshan also discovered a function that can add new basic construction maps.

Simply put, a full terrain map of General Island can also be added.

In this way, infrastructure can be built not only on Tenglong Island, but also on General Island!

This is good news.

Although there is now a road network on General Island and the dock is well built, these are still not enough and there is still much room for improvement.

If Hu Jiangshan had planned it well, he could have made General Island more comfortable, and it would not have been impossible to even turn this island into a paradise.

Not to mention Tenglong Island, an island of such a large area is divided into two parts, east and west.

There is even a huge bay. After the ecological environment is restored, the natural conditions are simply excellent. With a little investment, it can be built into a tourist destination, making a fortune every day.

But Hu Jiangshan doesn't want to do that yet. Tenglong Island is of great use.

In the future, if the construction of Tenglong Island is almost completed, some other functions can be arranged on Jiangjun Island.

Let’s put these things aside for now and focus on improving the infrastructure of Tenglong Island.

What is the first step? Of course, build roads.

The most urgent issue that Tenglong Island needs to solve now is that the road network is too imperfect, even very simple.

Although the main road has been hardened well and will not accumulate too much water after a few rains, that is also because the roads chosen are all located in relatively high places and not all flat lands have roads.

That’s why it takes so long to walk from East Island to West Island because we have to take a detour.

One very convenient thing about the infrastructure planning function is that a lot of infrastructure is already prefabricated.

For example, the road network planning function. As long as Hu Jiangshan inputs the instructions, the road network of Tenglong Island can be constructed immediately.

At this moment, the system has generated three types of road networks on the screen, most of which are mainly asphalt roads.

[Option 1]: Primary island road network
【Density】: Low

【Construction period】: 10 days

【Cost】: 500 million Hong Kong dollars

[Option 2]: Intermediate island road network
【Density】: Medium

【Construction period】: 18 days

【Cost】: 1200 million Hong Kong dollars

[Option 3]: Advanced Island Road Network
【Density】: High

【Construction period】: 28 days

【Cost】: 5000 million Hong Kong dollars

We have all kinds of road network plans, from high-end to low-end.

The road network density, construction period, and price are all different. It really depends on one's budget. It's really thoughtful.

But the question is, which one will Hu Jiangshan choose?
Hu Jiangshan also discovered that each road network plan can be clicked on, and then a detailed road network planning map can be viewed.

To be honest, this road network planning map is really detailed. Every detail has been designed and can be seen very clearly. Even the road style, width, length, turning angles, materials, and the final construction effect are all marked on it. There are even real-life pictures to see.

This system is so powerful! Hu Jiangshan couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.

Needless to say, the primary road network is the cheapest and most cost-effective option.

However, judging from the road network planning map, the main plans are for the main roads on the island and a limited number of branch lines.

The road network density is indeed not enough, it is only slightly better than the current situation.

The only bright spot is that the specifications of the ring road around the island are indeed very high, very spacious and flat. It is conceivable that it will become a beautiful island landscape highway after completion.

Hu Jiangshan looked at the intermediate road network again and found that the density had indeed increased a lot. Basically, the main locations on the east and west islands of Tenglong Island were connected by asphalt roads.

The main road is very wide, while the branch road is narrower. However, no matter how narrow it is, electric commuter cars can pass through, and two commuter cars can run side by side without any problem.

The construction period was 18 days and the cost was HK$12 million, which was very cost-effective.

The road network plan is similar to what Hu Jiangshan had envisioned before. If there was no such facility, it would probably be built like this.

Of course, if we really want to find an outside construction team to come and build the road, we won’t be able to get 12 million yuan, and it won’t be built without a lot of effort.

However, Hu Jiangshan still clicked on the advanced road network and took a look. He found that it was worthy of the word "advanced" and was indeed very impressive.

Not only is the road network more dense, but each road is designed to very high standards. What surprised Hu Jiangshan even more was that there is actually rail transit, from the West Island to the East Island, running through the entire Tenglong Island.

This is a bit like the trams in tourist cities, which can be used for commuting and sightseeing. It's awesome.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Jiangshan discovered another design that shocked him even more.

As mentioned earlier, Tenglong Bay is an embracing inner bay.

To be precise, the two ends of Tenglong Island extend out in an arc shape, surrounding an area of ​​sea and forming a bay. The overall look is very beautiful, which is why a wealthy man like Bill Gates was fascinated by it and immediately placed an order to buy the island.

The advanced road network planning actually planned a road between the two arms of Tenglong Bay - an undersea tunnel!
This design is too outrageous!
Hu Jiangshan called up the detailed information about the undersea tunnel and took a closer look, and he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

The main material of this underwater tunnel is actually transparent!
In other words, walking in the underwater tunnel is like being in an oceanarium, except it’s super long and super large!

Inside you can see the underwater landscape of Tenglong Bay.

This design is amazing too!

But the workload is too large.

Hu Jiangshan looked at the construction period again. It was incredible. It only took 28 days. Could it really be completed?
But recall that the information on the Tech Engine APP is very accurate, at least there have been no delays so far.

Can such a huge and complex road network be built in 28 days?
This road network also has extremely strong design and landscape features. It can no longer be described as great value for money, it is simply a miracle project.

The overall cost of the advanced road network is 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

The price alone seems high, but look at what is being built, it is a complete road network for an island.

There are also various complex designs, rail transit, and even an underwater viewing tunnel.

It only costs tens of millions, what’s the difference between that and giving it away for free?
If we calculate normally, 50 million yuan to build an undersea tunnel may be used up before construction even starts, and the cost of actually completing it will certainly not come down unless it increases by dozens of times.

The problem is that the money in Hu Jiangshan’s account may not be enough. At most, he may have about 50 or 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

If we throw out all 50 million now, we may not be able to pay the salaries in time.

I didn't expect that I would still have to worry about money in the end.

Oh, Hu Jiangshan suddenly remembered that the last time he talked to Wang Chengdong on the phone, the other party said that he would pay a batch of money for the goods soon to ease Hu Jiangshan’s financial pressure.

Hu Jiangshan thought about it, picked up his phone and called Wang Chengdong.

The phone rang several times, but no one answered.

Wang Chengdong is a very busy man, especially recently Huayao has a lot of business, everyone from top to bottom is busy all day long, and no one knows what Wang Chengdong is doing now.

Hu Jiangshan did not continue to call, but waited patiently.

This facility also has a lounge with booths and sofas, which are very comfortable to sit on.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Wang Chengdong called back.

"Brother Hu, what's the matter?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm short of money recently and I need some money. Can you transfer part of the payment to me as soon as possible? It will help me out of this urgent situation."

"...Oh! So it's this matter! Sorry, I forgot about it. Brother Hu, wait a minute, I will go to the finance department and ask them to transfer the money as soon as possible."

Hu Jiangshan and Wang Chengdong are already very familiar with each other, and they can talk directly about anything without worrying about hurting their feelings.

Hu Jiangshan immediately thanked him.

"No thanks, this is what I should do."

At this time, Wang Chengdong changed the subject: "By the way, Brother Hu, I have something to tell you in advance."

"Well, Mr. Wang, you go ahead."

"We will definitely place additional chip orders with you soon."

"Oh, no problem, Kirin chip?"

Wang Chengdong smiled: "We have both Kirin chips and Ascend chips."

Hu Jiangshan was a little surprised: "Oh, all of them need to be added."

"Yes, the rate at which orders are increasing has not slowed down yet. We must place more orders immediately, otherwise it will be too late."

At this point, Wang Chengdong asked with some concern, "Will there be no production capacity, Brother Hu?"

Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment and replied, "There should still be spare capacity, so it won't be a big problem."

"That's good. We will prepare a plan and send it to you later. If you have any questions, we can discuss it later."

"Okay, no problem. Then you go ahead and do your work, Mr. Wang."

After hanging up the phone, Hu Jiangshan fell into deep thought.

Huayao has now produced most of its orders, so it is normal to place an additional batch of chip orders.

However, according to the rate at which Huayao's orders are increasing, the demand should be faster and faster, and the quantity will become larger and larger. It is still unknown whether Hu Jiangshan's existing production capacity can meet the demand.

Fortunately, the production line on Tenglong Island can fight on two fronts. Part of the production capacity can continue to produce Ascend chips, and the other part can be transferred to Kirin chips. However, how much production capacity can be freed up for Kirin chips is an unknown. It also depends on how great the demand for Ascend chips is.
If the demand for Ascend chips increases significantly, there may not be much production capacity left for Kirin chips.

If it really doesn't work, there are two solutions. The first is to upgrade Tenglong Island's production line, which will increase production capacity to a certain extent.

We can also build another semiconductor production line. It cannot be accommodated on General Island, but it is no problem on Tenglong Island.

Half an hour later, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.

Hu Jiangshan picked up his phone and smiled.

【Hong Kong Island Bank: Dear customer, your personal account has received a remittance of HK$3.2 million. Please check it carefully. If you have any questions, please call your private customer service. Thank you for your trust in our bank. 】

Wang Chengdong's efficiency is amazing. It seems that he notified the Finance Department urgently and used a special procedure to transfer the money directly without even leaving it overnight.

Moreover, more than 300 million yuan was transferred in one go, which immediately solved Hu Jiangshan's financial pressure.

Of course, these 300 million are not pure profit.

Hu Jiangshan’s semiconductor production is indeed very low-cost, but not completely cost-free.

In addition to employee salaries, there are also a lot of miscellaneous production raw material costs and daily operating expenses.

In addition to the semiconductor business, Jiangshan Fishery's business has also gradually developed.

As mentioned earlier, although the fishery is only a cover for semiconductor production, it cannot be just an empty shell, as it would be easily exposed and would not achieve the purpose of the cover at all.

Therefore, Hu Jiangshan managed the fishery on Jiangjun Island in a very decent manner and even hired thirty or forty people to do the daily management of the fishery.

The fishery now has products. Several types of fish have grown to be quite large, but they have not yet been officially sold to the outside world, so there is no income at all. It is purely supported by Hu Jiangshan's funds, which is also a huge expense.

Fortunately, the money Hu Jiangshan earns now can fully cover this part of the cost.

Now that he has the payment for the goods, Hu Jiangshan no longer has to be so tight-fisted and can spend lavishly on construction on the island.

Hu Jiangshan entered the facility's central control center again, then called up the road network planning in the control system and chose the advanced road network without hesitation.

Hu Jiangshan didn't even make any changes and just confirmed it.

[Advanced road network planning scheme: selected]

【Construction conditions: passed the test】

【5000 million Hong Kong dollars: successfully deducted】

[Road network construction process: has started]

The interface changed and a topographic map of Tenglong Bay appeared, indicating that the construction process had started.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan heard the noise.

Construction machinery and equipment are driving out of the facility one after another and starting construction.
