Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 320 The facilities on Tenglong Island are almost perfect

Two electric commuter buses drove into the space launch site. Everyone forgot to get off the bus and just stared blankly at the surroundings. It took them a long time to come back to their senses.

“Oh my god, this place is huge.”

"This is a space launch site, of course it's big."

"Look over there, is that a rocket launcher?"

"It's so high. It's so high."

Tan Yurong said: "Okay, okay, everyone stop sighing and just go through the review process."

Everyone took out their small notebooks and started taking notes while reading.

To be honest, these people have strong professional abilities, but they are limited to things within their professional scope.

They do not understand aerospace technology or launch sites, but the scope of their inspection is not aerospace technology, nor will it involve the various complex instruments and equipment at the launch site, but rather whether the various infrastructure such as safety, fire protection, water, electricity, and communications are complete.

For special facilities like space launch sites, these aspects cannot be neglected, otherwise there will be great safety risks.

The space launch site is so huge that it takes a lot of effort to see it clearly.

Fortunately, we are all people who can endure hardships, and a large place just means more effort.

About an hour later, I had a pretty good idea of ​​the situation outside.

Everyone in the Hong Kong government's review team was very surprised.

Even if it is just a large airfield, there are actually a lot of details that need to be paid attention to. If any detail is not handled properly, it will be a big problem. However, this launch site has a very large yard, and every construction detail is very exquisite, and there are no obvious flaws to be seen.

That's right, everyone craned their necks to look everywhere for a long time, but found nothing. Even if there were some problems, they were just nitpicking and there was no need to record them at all.

At this time, Wang Zhifeng walked up to Chen Shichang, looked at his notebook, and asked, "Brother Shichang, how are you doing?"

Chen Shichang said: "I have checked all other aspects and found no problems."

"Yeah, I don't see any problems here. This launch site is really not easy to build. Oh, right, the power, do you need to take a look at the power?"

"I have checked the electricity supply. There is no problem. The conventional power supply can work normally. The transformer has sufficient power. It is also equipped with a complete set of emergency power supply. Some of it uses solar energy storage system, which is very advanced."

Wang Zhifeng was shocked after hearing this and said, "That's really a big investment. What else is there to see outside?"

"Water, is the water supply system complete?"

Wang Zhifeng smiled and shook his head: "It's impossible to be perfect. It's good to have water. Most of the time, they use large water storage tanks to transport fresh water regularly, and collect as much rainwater as possible to supplement it."

Chen Shichang said nothing, obviously agreeing with Wang Zhifeng's statement.

Most of them had been involved in audits of other island facilities and were accustomed to this situation.

As mentioned earlier, there are very few outlying islands with sufficient fresh water, and only very large islands are likely to have groundwater resources.

Although Tenglong Island is not small, it is definitely not a large offshore island, so the possibility of producing its own fresh water is not high.

Therefore, almost all the outlying islands they came into contact with used water storage tanks, both large, medium and small.

If you have enough funds, get a few more water storage tanks.

Wang Zhifeng looked around and said, "This is really strange. I can't see the big jar. Where is it hidden?"

Chen Shichang shook his head, obviously not seeing it either.

Wang Zhifeng said, "Let's go. We have to ask this boss, Mr. Hu, about this matter."

Hu Jiangshan is now under the launch pad, apparently checking the electrical system.

Wang Zhifeng and Chen Shichang walked over.

Wang Zhifeng asked: "Mr. Hu, where is the water tank at the launch site?"

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "...Water tank? What is it used for?"

Wang Zhifeng and Chen Shichang looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.

It's not that they didn't know the use of the water tank, of course, but they were surprised by Hu Jiangshan's reaction.

Wang Zhifeng widened his eyes and asked, "Mr. Hu, there won't be no water tanks on the island, right?"

Hu Jiangshan shook his head: "No."

“How do we solve the problem of fresh water?”

Chen Shichang also said: "Although most fires can be treated by pumping seawater, seawater sometimes doesn't work. It's better to have fresh water as an aid. Besides, there is no way the launch site is without drinking water, right?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled: "Fresh water, we have plenty here."

"…Replenish, replenish?"

"No way, is there groundwater resources on the island?"

Hu Jiangshan shook his head: "That's not the case, but we have a desalination plant that can supply unlimited fresh water."

"Ah, this..."

Wang Zhifeng and Chen Shichang were speechless for a moment. They didn't expect that there was a desalination plant on Tenglong Island.

As the name suggests, this facility is high-end.

Even building a small desalination plant is very expensive and most companies cannot afford it. Even on large outlying islands, such expensive equipment will not be built.

Desalination plants consume a lot of electricity and have very high operating costs. From an economic perspective, they are definitely a losing business. The cost and output are not proportional, and the longer they run, the greater the loss.

Seeing that the two men didn't quite believe it, Hu Jiangshan said, "You two, I'll take you to see it."

Hu Jiangshan brought Wang Zhifeng and Chen Shichang to the back of the launch pad, where there was an open space.

"This is it."

At this time, Wang and Chen saw something similar to a stake.

Hu Jiangshan opened the cover on the pile and revealed a valve and a water outlet inside.

Hu Jiangshan twisted the knob, and with a "splashing" sound, clear water flowed out from the outlet. The water pressure was strong and turbulent.

Chen Shichang's eyes almost popped out: "Mr. Hu, is this Tamsui?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Yes, you two can give it a try."

Wang Zhifeng couldn't help it any longer, so he took a few steps forward and touched the flowing water.

"Wow, it's cool! So cool!"

Then, Wang Zhifeng took a sip of the water and was quite surprised: "It's fresh water, really fresh water, and it tastes a little sweet, very sweet."

Wang Zhifeng's words made Chen Shichang feel thirsty. He followed suit and took a sip. He also sighed: "There is no peculiar smell, and it is not hard. The water quality is very good. It should have reached the standard of drinking water."

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly. In fact, the fresh water on the island has exceeded the standard of drinking water, and there is no problem drinking it directly.

Others may have heard the noise here and ran over to watch. After seeing the clear water flowing out, they were amazed.

"Wow, is it okay to keep it running like this? Isn't it a waste of water?" "This water is really cool and feels drinkable."

"I've tasted it, and it has a slightly sweet taste. Yes, it's a bit like mountain spring water."

“Isn’t this groundwater?”

"Mr. Hu just said that this is fresh water processed from seawater."

"Desalination? That's a big deal!"

At this time, Bena saw another pile in the distance, which was different in color and shape from the pile that was emerging from the water.

"Mr. Hu, what is that pile for?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "Ah, that's the power supply post."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that in addition to water supply piles, there were also power supply piles.

These facilities are all neatly set up outdoors. According to Hu Jiangshan, power poles and water supply poles are set up at regular intervals, forming a complete network, which shows that both electricity and water resources are very sufficient on the island.

Wang Zhifeng couldn't help asking, "Mr. Hu, how much money did you spend on investing in an island like this? The cost of these facilities alone must be astronomical, far beyond the imagination of most people."

Hu Jiangshan touched his nose and said, "It is indeed a bit expensive, but not astronomically expensive. Our team has used many methods to save costs without reducing quality, and the effect is quite good."

"I'm curious, what methods can be used to save costs? Can you share it with me?"

Hu Jiangshan quickly said: "This is a commercial secret and cannot be shared with anyone casually.

Wang Zhifeng laughed. On the arc, yes, it's really strict.

In fact, Hu Jiangshan didn't know how to answer this question. He couldn't explain it clearly. If he couldn't explain it clearly, he would just classify it as a commercial secret. Others couldn't say anything either.

The review team was also very sensible and did not ask any further questions. After all, this was not within the scope of their review.

Bena closed the little notebook: "I've already finished reading it outside here."

Others also said that it was fine outdoors.

Next is the indoor part, which mainly consists of the command center building of the launch site and the storage room used for rocket maintenance.

After entering the command center building, everyone was stunned.

They had never imagined that there would be such a beautifully decorated office building on an island, with all the best decoration and equipment facilities.

After further review, it was preliminarily concluded that the safety and fire protection system was very complete, even surpassing the top buildings in Hong Kong Island.

As for electricity and water sources, there is no need to worry, as they are more than sufficient.

Every faucet can be turned on to deliver water with full pressure.

There are fire hydrants and fire-fighting equipment of the latest version, and the automatic fire-fighting system on the ceiling also works normally.

The building materials used in this building are all fire-retardant and very strong special materials.

Hu Jiangshan said that even if a high-intensity explosion occurred, the structure of the command center building would have strong resistance, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.

In fact, no matter how effective this design is, it has already exceeded the scope.

About another hour later, everyone completed the indoor inspection.

The records in their notebooks were still clean and had almost no blemishes.

Even if there are some problems, they are very small and not worth mentioning.

To put it bluntly, if it were on other projects, these minor issues would not be recorded at all.

There is no way. If all the scores are ten, it will look too fake.

The supervisory agency will most likely find suspicion of fraud when investigating, and the cost of explanation is very high, so we can only make it less perfect in order to make it justifiable.

Everyone walked out of the command center building.

Tan Yurong exclaimed: "Mr. Hu, this time we are really enlightened. The space launch site you built is impeccable in terms of facilities, architecture and infrastructure. There is nothing wrong with it."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Mr. Tan, can I understand that the application has been approved?"

"Well, it should be possible, but I'm not sure. That's all I can say for now. The specific results will have to wait until the official process is completed."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "I understand. I understand."

Tan Yurong said, "Okay, Mr. Hu, our trip is over. Please send us back to the dock."

Hu Jiangshan checked the time and said, "Everyone, it's already noon. I can't let you go on an empty stomach."

Tan Yurong waved her hand and said, "No need to arrange anything, we can just go back to Hong Kong Island and have a bite to eat."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "It's convenient to eat here, and it's not a banquet, just a simple working meal, don't think too much."

Tan Yurong hesitated for a moment, but it seemed unnecessary to refuse. After all, everyone had been working for two or three hours, and the consumption must have been quite high, at least 10,000 or 20,000 steps. In fact, they were really tired and hungry, and were already exhausted.

Without any suspense, Hu Jiangshan took the inspection team to the Laohuya Sea View Restaurant again.

The last time the National Space Administration inspection team came here, Hu Jiangshan also treated them to a working lunch here.

This project should be a must. After all, it is a bit rude to let others go away hungry, and it does not leave a good experience for others. No matter what, you have to treat them to a meal.

Besides, this was just a working meal, not a big banquet, so no one could say anything.

What’s more, the food is secondary. The key is the scenery and characteristics of the restaurant, which can leave a deep impression on them.

Sure enough, as soon as everyone entered the Tiger Cliff Sea View Restaurant, they were stunned by the layout inside and the scenery they saw through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Although you can also see the beautiful scenery of Tenglong Bay from outside, the experience of watching it from a beautiful indoor environment is completely different from watching it outdoors.

The air conditioning in the restaurant is turned on very high, it is not cold, the temperature is just right and very comfortable.

Moreover, this restaurant actually provides full robot service. There is a special cooking robot in the kitchen, and after the food is ready, a special robot will automatically deliver it to you.

What’s even more amazing is that after eating, even the cleaning of the cutlery and plates is done by robots.

These scenes make people stunned and feel like they are watching a science fiction movie.

Has the level of technology developed to such a high level?

Bena asked curiously, "Mr. Hu, where do these robots come from? I've never seen them in Hong Kong."

Hu Jiangshan replied: "These are all bought from the mainland. Now restaurants in the mainland are gradually starting to use robots."

In fact, Hu Jiangshan was talking nonsense. At this time, some restaurants in mainland China do use robots to deliver food, but their functions are definitely not that powerful. They are just auxiliary at most.

After the meal, Hu Jiangshan also arranged juice, iced coffee, and of course a fruit plate, which was very appropriate.

Hu Jiangshan also sat down to chat, and he behaved very naturally, without any sense of abruptness at all.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "If the restricted area of ​​Tenglong Island is passed, will there be police officers coming to patrol?"

Wang Zhifeng laughed: "You'll have to ask Captain Bei about this. It's under the jurisdiction of the Marine Police."
