Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 259: Dock Expansion Project
Hu Jiangshan drove his electric commuter car further down the street. The light not only did not get dimmer, but became brighter and brighter.

That kind of light is not simply the brightness of light, nor the brightness of sunlight, but it is colorful, a floating light and shadow effect, as if there is a huge screen flashing in front.

Of course Hu Jiangshan knew what was over there.

This is an underwater tunnel!

Hu Jiangshan continued driving his electric commuter car forward.

It is worth mentioning that this is not an ordinary commuter car. The battery density is very high and it can travel continuously for nearly 1,000 kilometers.

The roof of the commuter car is covered with photovoltaic panels, which have a very high power generation efficiency. If left under the sun for a day, it can even be fully charged to 20%.

So it seems a bit difficult to make this commuter car break down midway.

However, Hu Jiangshan also thought about what to do if this situation happened, and it was still necessary to build a charging station on Tenglong Island.

Of course, this is a story for later.

At this point, the tunnel ends its downward slope and becomes a flat road again.

In other words, we are actually at the bottom of the sea now.

The road in the tunnel not only did not become narrower, but became wider and wider.

The width, which was originally only wide enough for two cars to pass side by side, gradually became wide enough for three cars, and then four cars.

The road pattern changed to two directions, back and forth, with two lanes in each direction.

Wow, this specification is for use in cities!

How could there be so many vehicles on Tenglong Island? This redundant design is amazing.

More importantly, there are non-motorized vehicle lanes on both sides of the road, that is, pedestrian walkways, as well as roads for bicycles.

There are even viewing areas set up on the roadside every few sections of the road.

The so-called viewing area is actually a hemispherical lounge, which is equipped with tables and chairs.

There are even special parking spaces in the viewing area. Hu Jiangshan parked his car and entered the viewing area.

Wow, sit down here and look around, it's absolutely amazing.

Except for one side of the road, everything above, below, left and right is underwater scenery.

This is really different from what you see in the underground underwater viewing area of ​​the office building.

The observation deck of the office building is a distant view, which is equivalent to looking below the water surface from a rock wall, while the view from the underwater tunnel is so close that it is almost within reach.

There are even some coral reefs right next to Hu Jiangshan's feet, just a few meters away.

Some clown fish, blue tangs, and puffer fish were even about to pounce on Hu Jiangshan's face.

Hu Jiangshan could even clearly see the colorful petals of the anemone opening and closing on the coral rocks.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan knew very well that although the coral reefs and marine fish seemed very close, they were actually at least ten meters away from them.

Hu Jiangshan is a master in material technology. He has worked with building materials for underwater landscape buildings. Although the materials are transparent, they are also quite thick.

For example, the viewing material used in the aquarium is actually acrylic, not glass, and its thickness must be at least half a meter to ensure that it will not be destroyed by the huge water pressure.

Of course, the transparent material of this underwater tunnel should not be acrylic, but some new type of transparent material.

Hu Jiangshan touched it and it was icy cold, as if he was touching ice, which was magical.

More importantly, the material is very transparent, even significantly surpassing the ultra-white glass commonly used in fish tanks.

Hu Jiangshan didn't know the composition and strength of this material, but it should be very reliable. After all, Tenglong Bay is not a particularly deep bay and the water pressure is not that strong.

Hu Jiangshan also noticed that there was a safety door design on the inner layer of the transparent wall.

If any section of the undersea tunnel is damaged or leaking, the safety door of that section will be lowered urgently to ensure the integrity of other sections of the tunnel.

According to the current design, this undersea tunnel is very stable and has almost no safety hazards. In addition, it is located on the seabed of Tenglong Bay, where there are not too many winds and waves, making it even more foolproof.

Even if there are strong winds and heavy rains or super storms in the open sea, this undersea tunnel can remain unmoved.

Hu Jiangshan thought of the many Cthulhu monster movies that had been shot in the Lighthouse Country, including giant squids, giant octopuses, and large sharks and other sea monsters.

I don’t know if this underwater tunnel can withstand the attacks of those sea monsters.

Hu Jiangshan shook his head and felt that he was starting to have wild thoughts. He was a scientific researcher and should be more pragmatic. It seemed that after merging with the original Hu Jiangshan, he still had many characteristics that were not there before.

Those super giant sea monsters are all in the deep sea, how could they come to such a shallow Tenglong Bay?

Hu Jiangshan was thinking this when he suddenly felt a dark shadow moving towards him.

Hu Jiangshan was startled and looked up, only to find a huge fish swimming across the top of the tunnel.

No, that's not a fish, that's a whale shark! A very large whale shark.

Next to the whale shark, there were even two large sea turtles swimming together.

With such a big whale shark coming, aren’t you afraid of it getting stranded in Tenglong Bay?

Hu Jiangshan shook his head and said, forget it, he won’t worry about these big guys anymore.

This viewing area is really nice, with beautiful views and a well-designed ventilation system, so it’s not stuffy or humid at all.

Hu Jiangshan could even sit here for a whole day.

Hu Jiangshan even thought that it would be more convenient if there was a set of vending machines in every viewing area.

Hu Jiangshan sat for a while before driving the commuter bus further forward.

This undersea tunnel is really long, and it took at least half an hour to reach the other side.

Even if such a large project is handed over to the most powerful engineering group of the infrastructure maniac, it will take at least three years to complete, and normally five years to complete.

The Infrastructure Planning and Construction Center actually completed it in just 28 days, including the complex road network of the entire Tenglong Island.

This efficiency is really terrifying when you think about it!

However, there are still many facilities that need to be built in the next step.

Hu Jiangshan drove the commuter bus to the infrastructure center. At this time, rows of medium and large engineering vehicles could be seen in the equipment hall, all of which had returned to their positions.

What Hu Jiangshan found unbelievable was that the surfaces of these construction vehicles were eerily clean, with their wheels shining silver and spotless.

These construction vehicles didn't just finish construction on the island in the dark, they were just shipped out of the factory.

Perhaps after the construction is completed, there is a complete warehousing process.

Without thinking too much, Hu Jiangshan went to the central control room and turned on the system screen.

At this time, you can see the project that has just been completed, showing that the road network project of the entire Tenglong Island is already 100% complete.

Hu Jiangshan can also call up the entire road network map in the system to check the completion status of each location.

Hu Jiangshan specially checked the undersea tunnel. Looking at the series of data, Hu Jiangshan felt that he had still underestimated the huge amount of work.

Hu Jiangshan created a new project and wanted to build a dock.

The pier will be built on the site of the existing pier. The system has a built-in pier construction program, and you only need to select the location to generate a plan.

Option One:

[Scale]: Small dock
[Automation degree]: 60%
[Boat Type]: Highest is medium
【Number of plank roads】: Two
[Number of berths]: Five
Option II:
【Scale】: Medium-sized terminal
[Automation degree]: 80%
[Boat Type]: Highest is medium
【Number of plank roads】: Three
【Number of berths】: 10
It seems that Tenglong Bay can only build a medium-sized dock at most, and the largest ship that can dock can only be medium-sized, after all, the draft is relatively shallow.

Three battle lines and ten berths should be enough.

Hu Jiangshan looked at the structural diagram of the medium-sized dock, which looked quite impressive. It was equipped with a dock office facility, including a command room, a lounge, and even a temporary resettlement center. The resettlement center even had a small kitchen where some simple things could be made.

Hu Jiangshan made some minor modifications and built a parking lot with multiple parking spaces outside the pier.

The parking lot is of a certain size and can accommodate some heavy vehicles and battery commuter vehicles.

In this way, it became the dock that Hu Jiangshan wanted. It was much more magnificent than the previous small dock and at least three or four times larger.

Hu Jiangshan finalized the plan, and then he calculated the various facilities.

Hu Jiangshan clicked the "Calculate" button and a progress bar appeared. It reached 100% in a few minutes.

【Facility Cost Accounting】: HK$880 million

【Construction period】: Eight days
HK$8.8 million is a very reasonable price to build a medium-sized dock with complete facilities.

Of course, this price is predictable. After all, the road network on Tenglong Island only cost more than 20 million to build.

More importantly, the construction period was only eight days, which was really fast.

If Hu Jiangshan did not understand the infrastructure construction capabilities, he would definitely think that this was a wrong estimate.

This also shows that the construction of this dock is not difficult and can be completed quickly.

After confirming the information, Hu Jiangshan decisively pressed confirm.

The facility entered a construction phase.

Hu Jiangshan saw through the monitor that the construction vehicles in the lobby on the first floor of the facility started moving again, driving out of the facility and rushing to the construction site.

Hu Jiangshan was a little worried.

This construction will be done on the basis of the existing small pier. It will not affect the use of the pier, right?

The semiconductor production line on Tenglong Island cannot be shut down, and employees have to go to the island to work.

Hu Jiangshan quickly walked out of the facility and drove his electric commuter car to the small pier.

At this time, some construction vehicles have arrived at the dock and started construction.

After seeing it, Hu Jiangshan calmed down. Although major facilities needed to be upgraded, it should not affect the use of the small dock.

Because the construction site does not completely overlap with the small pier, only a small part of it will be affected.

At this time, Yusheng and Awang ran over and were surprised when they saw the construction vehicles.

It is not difficult to guess what they were thinking. Before this, these construction vehicles almost filled up Tenglong Island, covering the mountains and plains.

Later, the roads on the island were repaired quickly, and all the construction vehicles disappeared at once.

Now he has appeared at the dock again. His whereabouts are really strange.

However, Yusheng and Awang soon discovered that Hu Jiangshan was also there, so they calmed down.

The two men hurried over and greeted Boss Hu Jiangshan in front and behind.

Awang asked curiously: "Boss, what kind of project is this going to be built?"

Hu Jiangshan did not hide it: "We need to expand the wharf."

When Awang and Yusheng heard this, they both thought that the boss was very courageous.

This pier is indeed too small. It should be made bigger to match Tenglong Island.

As mentioned before, the previous owner of the island, Bill Gates, actually wanted to expand the dock, but because he could not find a water source on the island, he became discouraged and gave up the development plan of Tenglong Island and sold the island instead.

Now Hu Jiangshan also wants to expand the wharf. He is indeed a man with aspirations and plans to operate Tenglong Island for a long time.

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan came to the big villa on the island alone, intending to have a sleep before considering whether to return to Hong Kong Island today.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.

【Caller ID: Feng Hua】

As mentioned earlier, Feng Hua is a wealthy second-generation from the mainland who settled in Hong Kong. He is very good at socializing and has high emotional intelligence, and is a person who can get along well wherever he goes.

It is worth mentioning that Feng Hua had a good relationship with Hu Jiangshan before, and he stayed with Hu Jiangshan even when Hu Jiangshan was at his lowest point. It can be seen that Feng Hua is a very kind and considerate person.

After his rebirth, Hu Jiangshan was very grateful to Feng Hua and maintained a good relationship with Feng Hua.

You have to know that Hu Jiangshan actually has no interest in hanging out with the circle of rich kids in Hong Kong Island, but he still occasionally goes out to hang out with those young masters, mostly for Feng Hua's sake.

You still have to answer Feng Hua’s call.

"Hey, Mr. Hu, where are you?"

Hu Jiangshan hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm on the island."

The island that Hu Jiangshan mentioned refers to Jiangjun Island. Few people know that he bought Tenglong Island.

Feng Hua smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, that's not far. Why don't you come back? Let's get together tonight."

Hu Jiangshan said: "Forget it, forget it, I won't go, you guys get together, we'll get together next time."

Feng Hua quickly said, "Oh, that won't do. You have to come. You will regret it if you don't come."

"…Hmm? Why do you regret it?"

Feng Hua whispered, "I heard that an important person was invited today, a female star that you like very much."

Hu Jiangshan was stunned and asked, "Female star? The one I like? Who is it? It can't be Chen Yifei, right?"

Feng Hua chuckled: "Okay, you guessed it after all! How is it? Pretty impressive, right?"

Hu Jiangshan asked curiously: "How did you invite Chen Yifei over? She shouldn't be that easy to invite, right?"

Feng Hua said: "Oh, Mr. Hu, I am not that capable. It is the Xiang family that has great reputation."

Hu Jiangshan was stunned.

The Xiang family basically refers to Xiang You.

Xiang You is the eldest son of Hong Kong entertainment tycoon Xiang Guoqiang and a descendant of a prominent family. He is now an actor and model and is very popular in Hong Kong's upper class society.

Xiang You has also participated in some reality shows in the mainland and has a certain degree of fame.

Given Xiang You's status in the entertainment industry, it is normal for him to invite Chen Yifei.

At this time, Feng Hua's mobile phone seemed to be taken away by someone, and a slightly unfamiliar voice came from the other end. It was Xiang You.

"Mr. Hu, please come over today and give me some face."
