Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 258: Tenglong Island's road network has been repaired
Lin Gongxin didn't care. He just came to Hong Kong Island to have fun. It didn't matter where he went as long as there was something new.

There is nothing interesting to see in the urban area of ​​Hong Kong Island. There is nothing more than eating, drinking and strolling around the old streets. Lin Gongxin has been there several times, and it would be nice to visit the surrounding outlying islands.

At this time, Wang Sian suddenly said, "By the way, Lingou, is it popular to buy small islands in Hong Kong?"

Lin Gongxin was stunned: "I don't know, what's the matter? Old Wang, do you also want to sell the island?"

"That's not the case. Last time I heard that kid Li Changxi say that he also wanted to buy an island for fun."

"Oh, are these young masters crazy? They have so much money but nowhere to spend it. Why do they buy islands when they have nothing to do? They go to the islands to sleep? Or is it true, as you said, that Hong Kong Island also follows the ways of the rich Westerners?"

"Hey! I don't know. We'll ask him when the time comes. If buying an island is really appropriate, we can also consider buying one for fun."

Lin Gongxin quickly waved his hands: "Oh, don't count me in. How can I have so much money? I'm a pauper. I can't even afford tea eggs."

"You don't have money? Stop talking nonsense. You didn't even blink when I bought the skin."

"Ha! How much is skin worth? It's not even as expensive as your breakfast. Old Wang, stop it!"

Early the next morning, Hu Jiangshan received another call from Starry Sky Glory.

This time it was not Fang Xiaoya who called, but Peng Xiaojun, the boss of Starry Sky Glory.

Therefore, the issues discussed by the two were more formal, and almost all of them were matters that had been carefully considered and discussed.

Starry Sky Glory is definitely going to cooperate with Hu Jiangshan. The other party is very sincere and has offered Hu Jiangshan generous conditions for cooperation. The conditions are so good that even Hu Jiangshan is embarrassed to accept them.

Starry Sky Glory is a startup company, and it is not good to ask for too high a price, but since the other party has offered it, it means that the company can still afford it. Hu Jiangshan did not refuse. After all, everyone is doing business, and the main thing is that both parties are willing.

Hu Jiangshan and Peng Xiaojun had almost finished their discussion on the phone and neither of them had any objections. The only thing left was to sign the contract.

In fact, according to Hu Jiangshan’s idea, he could just let the legal department of Starry Glory send the contract directly over, and then send it back after signing, which would save trouble for everyone.

However, Peng Xiaojun felt that it was too casual, so he should send someone to review the contents with Hu Jiangshan in person before signing the contract.

Peng Xiaojun said, "Boss Hu, when are you free? I will send someone with the contract to meet with you."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Sure, General Peng, please make the arrangements. I'm free anytime these days."

Peng Xiaojun said, "Okay, we should be able to send someone over in the next few days. We will notify Boss Hu when the date is confirmed."

Hu Jiangshan agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Jiangshan breathed a sigh of relief. This time, by chance, he actually had a cooperative relationship with a private aerospace company in the mainland.

You have to know that the private aerospace sector was just beginning to develop at that time, and it was basically dominated by the lighthouse country across the ocean.

The Lighthouse Country now has several private aerospace companies, including aerospace projects of established companies and start-ups. They are working hard to develop large rockets and spacecraft.

To be honest, Malak's SpaceX runs the fastest. For example, the current Bald Eagle 9 has a first-stage rocket recovery function and can be reused many times. It is now a relatively mature model and has been in commercial operation for several years.

Moreover, SpaceX also has its own spacecraft, which can send supplies and astronauts to the International Space Station, which is indeed a huge achievement.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan was very clear about the details of SpaceX. In fact, a large number of Nasa resources had been transferred to SpaceX, including technical and R&D personnel who were serving SpaceX.

Malak is the official white glove and the person who stands in front of the public.

In addition to SpaceX, companies such as Breakthrough, Lockheed Martin, and Blue Dream Origin are also developing their own rockets and spacecraft.

They do this to enter the future commercial aerospace sector of the blue planet.

The main business includes launching satellites and manned space sightseeing tours.

The threshold for this industry is very high, so high that it is frightening. Ordinary countries simply cannot do it. In fact, there are only a handful of four or five countries on the entire planet that can engage in aerospace.

Therefore, commercial space travel is a blue ocean in the future, with very few competitors.

Hu Jiangshan suddenly had a feeling that he had entered this field by accident, earlier than expected.

Hu Jiangshan anticipated that he would be exposed to this industry, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He thought it would take another few years.

It is still 2018, China's space station has not been completed, the Mars rover has not been launched, and China's aerospace technology is still in a state of being neither obvious nor leaky.

Now the Blue Planet is recognized as a space power, the Lighthouse Country is still unique, and the Big Goose is just living off its past glory.

Thinking back to the time when Bill Gates took the initiative to approach Hu Jiangshan to discuss cooperation, Hu Jiangshan suddenly felt that many things might have been brought forward.

I don’t know whether this is a bad thing or a good thing.

Hu Jiangshan felt that his strength was getting stronger and stronger. As long as the things on General Island and Tenglong Island were not known to his opponents, Hu Jiangshan would have all the advantages.

Hu Jiangshan thought about the cooperation with Starry Sky Glory again. In fact, there was no pressure on him because Starry Sky Glory needed very few chips. The first batch only needed a few hundred chips. If calculated over a year, it might not even use a thousand chips.

Of course, if the Starry Sky Glory rocket successfully tests its flight into space, the number of chips required will double, after all, a lot of large rockets will need to be built and thrown into the sky.

In addition, Star Glory is also carrying out satellite and spacecraft projects at the same time.

These are also big consumers of chips, especially spacecraft, which require very sophisticated chips, which require high-process technology to manufacture.

If Hu Jiangshan remembered correctly, the rocket manufactured by Starry Glory had the same recyclability as SpaceX's Bald Eagle 9, and it only started its test flight four or five years later.

Wait, Hu Jiangshan suddenly thought of something.

If it were on the original timeline, Starry Glory would definitely not have obtained the chip too early, it would have to be pushed back by at least one or two years.

Then, the speed of rocket research and development will indeed slow down, wasting a lot of time. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that rocket test flights can only be carried out in the next four or five years.

The question is, what would happen if Starry Glory obtained the chip now?
Will the test flight of Starry Glory’s rocket be advanced?

If it can be advanced, how far in advance?
Hu Jiangshan suddenly felt that this incident might have a huge impact and might even affect the subsequent space competition among major powers.

No matter what, just take it one step at a time.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.

【Caller ID: Yusheng】

Yu Sheng called, it must be because something happened on Tenglong Island.

Hu Jiangshan answered the phone.

Yu Sheng's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end: "Boss, I have something to report to you."

"Ah, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Boss, the road on the island should be repaired." Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "The road has been repaired? What is it like?"

Yusheng replied, "Boss, it's very well built. I'm not saying this, it's definitely the highest standard of all the roads I've ever seen! It's really great!"

Hu Jiangshan had realized at this time that he had not been to Tenglong Island for several days, and the road network on the island should indeed be repaired.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "By the way, are those construction vehicles still there?"

"Boss, I was just about to tell you about this. Those construction vehicles disappeared overnight. Not a single one was left. They disappeared so cleanly that I don't even know where they went."

Both Yusheng and Awang's families were probably shocked that so many construction vehicles suddenly appeared, of various kinds, big and small, almost covering the entire Tenglong Island.

Suddenly, so many vehicles disappeared. If you didn’t know the reason, it would really make people feel scary, as if they were taken away by aliens.

Hu Jiangshan said: "It's okay, as long as the road is repaired, I will go over and take a look in a while."

Yusheng responded.

Hu Jiangshan hung up the phone, took a short rest, changed his clothes, got up and went out.

Once the road network is repaired, Hu Jiangshan must go and check it out as soon as possible.

Hu Jiangshan had been looking forward to this day for a long time, but he had been busy with other things during this period and had temporarily forgotten about this matter.

Tenglong Network’s road network is crucial and is the foundation for the subsequent development of Hu Jiangshan’s industrial empire. It will be easy to decide what facilities to build later.

Hu Jiangshan drove to the Baisha Bay Yacht Club Pier, boarded the boat with ease, started the engine, left the pier, and headed towards Tenglong Island.

Today the weather is clear and the sea is calm. Hu Jiangshan drove the Seahorse very fast, with the highest speed even approaching thirty knots.

About twenty minutes later, Hu Jiangshan entered Tenglong Bay.

Tenglong Bay is so beautiful now that Hu Jiangshan couldn't help but slow down the Seahorse and admire the beautiful scenery of the bay from the cab.

In the sunlight, the sea surface appears in different colors, mostly green and blue.

The green water surface indicates that the water is slightly shallower, while the blue one indicates deeper water.

As long as you stop and look down from the side of the boat, you are guaranteed to see the colorful seabed and all kinds of sea fish, big and small.

If we carry out frivolous activities here, it will definitely attract a lot of tourists, from Hong Kong Island, no, from the mainland. This is more beautiful than most places in Tyrande.

Hu Jiangshan was too busy to look at the beautiful scenery of Tenglong Bay. He looked around and there didn't seem to be much change.

As mentioned earlier, Tenglong Bay is an embracing bay. According to the design of the road network of Tenglong Island, the entrances and exits of the undersea tunnel should be built at both ends of Tenglong Island.

Maybe I'm too far away now to see the actual situation.

Hu Jiangshan drove the boat to the small pier, dropped anchor and went ashore. He immediately felt that the scope of Tenglong Island was completely different. A long asphalt road appeared in front of him, extending to the left and right, with no end in sight.

Looking up, there are asphalt roads in higher areas.

One, two, three... they are intertwined with each other, and it is impossible to count how many there are.

Looking at the asphalt road surface, it is clean and flat, with almost no flaws visible to the naked eye. The construction quality is frighteningly high.

Only twenty-eight of these asphalt roads have been constructed from scratch, and they are already completely dry. Hu Jiangshan really doesn't know how this was done.

The drainage ditches on both sides of the asphalt road are also beautifully built.

Some places were covered with stone slabs, and some places were not.

The uncovered drainage ditch is shallower, but still much deeper than the one on General Island.

Tenglong Island is relatively large in area and has a higher terrain, so larger and deeper drainage channels are necessary.

The roads on the island are clean, which is not surprising, but the road surface here is so clean that it is a bit scary. It looks blue and there is no dust at all.

Of course, in the long run, we still need to maintain the cleanliness of the road, which is a small matter. We can just put a few more outdoor cleaning robots to do it.

The most urgent task is to get a few more battery commuter vehicles. Tenglong Island is too big and there won’t be enough commuter vehicles.

Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan had already arranged several commuter vehicles on Tenglong Island in advance.

At this time, there were two cars parked next to the small pier. Hu Jiangshan was driving a commuter car towards the West Island of Tenglong Island. His destination was not the semiconductor factory, but the end of the West Island of Tenglong Island, which was one end of the crescent.

Along the way, Hu Jiangshan came up with some ideas.

Previously, Hu Jiangshan neglected to set up a station on Tenglong Island.

Tenglong Island is too big and the road is too long. It would be very painful if there were no stations.

Of course, setting up a site is not a difficult task, but how to set up a site is a science. It must be set in a place with good scenery so that it is convenient to enjoy the scenery.

This needs to be carefully planned later.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan arrived at the western end of the island.

This should be the narrowest place on Tenglong Island, with a width of less than 100 meters. Hu Jiangshan did not find the entrance to the underwater tunnel here.

Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan soon discovered the clue. It turned out that the entrance was not at the top, but on the side of the mountain close to the inside. The asphalt road led directly there.

Without saying a word, Hu Jiangshan drove his commuter car to the tunnel entrance.

There is a door at the entrance, but it is closed at this moment, sealing the tunnel tightly.

Hu Jiangshan got out of the car and saw a control room next to the entrance. As long as he turned on the switch, the tunnel door would open and close automatically.

Hu Jiangshan turned on the switch and drove the commuter car closer, and the gate slowly lowered.

The commuter bus drove in.

Hu Jiangshan expected the tunnel to be well built, but he didn't expect the standard to be so high.

All four walls are covered with hard panels that look very sturdy, but no one knows what material they are made of.

The lighting in the tunnel is very bright, and it is equipped with a complete ventilation system. There is no stuffy feeling inside, but instead the air feels fresh.

Then, Hu Jiangshan clearly felt that the tunnel was extending downwards and should be entering the seabed.
