Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 355 New clues about the space facility
Hu Jiangshan didn't think much about it. It didn't matter where this so-called Western power came from.

If the other party really wants to discuss cooperation with Hu Jiangshan, it is not impossible, but they have to show sincerity.

If they were just asking casually, Hu Jiangshan wouldn't need to take it too seriously.

Just as Hu Jiangshan said to Zhou Yuezhu just now, if Western Power is a foreign company, Hu Jiangshan cannot provide them with satellite launch services casually. It also needs approval from relevant departments.

Although the other party said that they have obtained permission from the relevant mainland authorities, it is still unclear whether it is true or not. Maybe they are just trying to fool around.

Besides, the so-called Western Power is more likely to be a shell company and a scam.

Hu Jiangshan started the yacht engine, drove the Seahorse slowly out of the dock, and then galloped across the vast ocean.

Now Hu Jiangshan's boat driving skills have reached a new level and he is very good at it.

The weather is very good today. There are a few clouds floating in the clear sky, and the sun is not that hot.

There was just some wind on the sea now, but it was not strong. Hu Jiangshan drove the Seahorse at 25 knots and it only took 20 minutes to reach the entrance of Tenglong Bay.

Hu Jiangshan saw seven or eight yachts parked at the entrance of Tenglong Bay, but he did not go in because there were two speedboats from the Marine Police Team blocking the way ahead.

The Hong Kong Island Marine Police have been dedicated to their duties during this period, spending a lot of time here almost every day to maintain order. Most yachts are sensible and will not go in when they see the warning buoys, but every day there are yachts that sneak in when the Marine Police's speedboats are not here, but they will soon be driven out by the arriving Marine Police yachts.

Hu Jiangshan drove the Seahorse slowly closer and saw that the people on those yachts were not giving up and were standing on the deck negotiating with the people from the Water Police.

"Sir, please let us in. There's nothing in there now. It's so empty and ugly."

"Whether it's ugly or not is not up to you to decide. Tenglong Bay is now a restricted area. No ships or personnel can enter casually."

"Why? I don't understand."

"Because there are aerospace facilities on the island, it is very sensitive."

"Sir, there is no rocket launch right now, so there will be no danger. We are not going to the island, so just let us in. We will stay for a while and then leave."

"No, no, the rules are the rules, there is no room for compromise. Why don't you just play in the nearby sea for a while? Look, the water outside Tenglong Bay is pretty good too."

In fact, what the people from the Marine Police were saying was correct. The quality of the seawater outside Tenglong Bay is also very good, only slightly worse than that inside Tenglong Bay.

After all, the good water quality of Tenglong Bay will affect the surrounding environment and make it better and better.

For example, the colorful coral reefs have begun to spread to the waters outside Tenglong Bay, and coral polyps are everywhere.

Those colorful, large and small marine fish, sea turtles, octopuses and other creatures will naturally follow suit and reproduce.

So it is conceivable that in the near future, there will definitely be many yachts outside Tenglong Bay coming here for sightseeing, swimming, and sea fishing.

Hu Jiangshan had a new worry. He was afraid that it would attract many fishing boats, which would fish here on a large scale and destroy the ecological environment near Tenglong Bay again. That would be troublesome.

Hu Jiangshan walked into Tenglong Bay, and a patrol boat from the Water Police Team approached.

A male marine police officer shouted to Hu Jiangshan: "Sir, this is a restricted area, you can't go in."

Hu Jiangshan explained loudly: "Sir, I'm not here to play, I'm from Tenglong Island."

The marine police officer looked at Hu Jiangshan for a few times, smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You are the fifth person to tell me this today."

"…Ah? The fifth one?"

"Sir, are you going to say that you bought Tenglong Island and you are the owner of the island?"

"..."

Hu Jiangshan was speechless for a moment. What was going on? Someone was pretending to be the owner of Tenglong Island?
This is so outrageous.

But if you think about it, this is nothing new.

It's normal for those rich people who drive yachts to make up all kinds of lies in order to get in.

Hu Jiangshan is feeling quite embarrassed now, as everyone else has finished their lines, and there are more than one of them, but what he says also sounds like a fake.

Hu Jiangshan said: "I am the real owner of Tenglong Island. My name is Hu Jiangshan. Can you check it out?"

The water police on the other side was stunned: "Hu Jiangshan? Isn't that..."

Just as the marine police was puzzled, another marine police in uniform came out from the cabin of the speedboat.

This marine police officer is a female.

Hu Jiangshan took a look and breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew this marine police officer, it was Deputy Captain Bena, whom he had met twice before.

At this time, Bena was wearing the uniform of the Marine Police Force, but she still couldn't hide her good figure, and her curves were even more prominent, making people unable to take their attention away for a while.

When Bena saw Hu Jiangshan, she smiled and said to the male marine police colleague, "This is the owner of Tenglong Island, Boss Hu Jiangshan. If you see him in the future, just ignore him and let him in directly."

The male water police officer suddenly realized what was going on.

He must have heard of Hu Jiangshan, the notorious playboy, but he didn't know that Tenglong Island belonged to Hu Jiangshan.

So much so that the water police officer kept looking at Hu Jiangshan, wanting to see if this guy had supernatural powers and could always get into such big troubles.

At the same time, I also wondered why Vice Captain Bena looked so familiar with Hu Jiangshan?

What is the relationship between the two? It can't be...

At this time, Bena greeted Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan waved to Bena and said, "Ms. Bena, would you like to sit on the island for a while? I'll buy you a drink."

"No, I'm still working. It's not appropriate."

"Then I'll treat you again when the work is finished."

Bena laughed: "We'll talk about it later, Boss Hu."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and nodded, and no longer disturbed Bena's work. He waved his hand, entered the cockpit, and then drove the Seahorse into Tenglong Bay.

Tenglong Bay has now become a restricted area. There is not a single ship in it, and it looks very vast.

Since ordinary ships can no longer enter, the dock’s protective measures will not be as strict.

For example, the railings that originally surrounded the dock now have an opening to facilitate the entry of ships.

As soon as the Seahorse docked at the pier, Yu Sheng came out from the pier command center and greeted Hu Jiangshan warmly.

"Boss, you are here."

Hu Jiangshan asked: "What happened these two days?"

"Boss, nothing happened. Everything is normal on the island. Oh, but recently there have been a few boats acting suspiciously and circling around the island."

As he spoke, Yu Sheng looked into the distance, as if looking for those boats.

"A sneaky boat? Yusheng, how sneaky is it?"

Yu Sheng explained everything in detail. It turned out that some ships appeared from time to time around Tenglong Island in the past few days, sometimes on the east side of the island, sometimes on the west side, and of course also on the north and south sides.

In short, these boats seemed to be circling Tenglong Island.

When Hu Jiangshan heard this, he indeed felt that the behavior of those ships was very strange.

Yusheng added, "Boss, those boats didn't try to approach us, they just circled the island, so I didn't report it to you. But Awang and I took a video and will send it to you after we have compiled it."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Well done, that's the way it should be done. Keep vigilant."

As he spoke, Hu Jiangshan patted Yu Sheng on the shoulder.

Yusheng felt very encouraged and nodded vigorously, indicating that he would work hard.

Hu Jiangshan spoke to Yu Sheng for a few more words and then let him go to work.

At this time, after Hu Jiangshan said these words, he felt thirsty, so he went to the dock lounge and poured a glass of iced freshly squeezed juice. While drinking it, he thought about things.

Hu Jiangshan still has a lot to do next.

Hu Jiangshan plans to upgrade the space launch site and improve the infrastructure and supporting equipment.

Try to free up more people to do more important things.

For example, when the rocket is transported from the assembly plant to the launch pad, the process is too complicated and the efficiency is too low. Hu Jiangshan needs to make a better rocket transport vehicle.

But the problem is, it is not easy to make this thing. Hu Jiangshan needs to go to a special tool facility to study it.

After drinking the juice, Hu Jiangshan drove his electric commuter car to the "Special Tool Equipment R&D and Manufacturing Center."

Hu Jiangshan came to the control room, opened the system, checked the existing prefabricated template designs, and did not find anything related to the rocket transporter. It seemed that Hu Jiangshan needed to design it himself.

Hu Jiangshan opened the system's built-in design software and drew a structural diagram from scratch according to his own ideas, but he immediately discovered a problem.

The rocket transporter is too large. After all, it is used to transport rockets, and it is much larger than ordinary large engineering vehicles.

The design software showed that the design conditions were insufficient. Even if it was designed, there was no 3D printing equipment large enough to print it out.

So what to do?
Hu Jiangshan was in a dilemma. If he couldn't even handle something like a transfer truck, then there would be no chance for larger things.

Of course, there is another way, which is to design and print it into several parts separately, and then assemble it into a finished product.

But Hu Jiangshan didn't want to do that. The design would be very difficult and the design cycle would be very long. In addition, various problems would easily arise in the process, which might lead to unsuccessful assembly in the end.

Moreover, the design produced in this way could not meet Hu Jiangshan's requirements. It would be better not to do it after spending a lot of effort on it with very little improvement.

The rocket transporter had to be built with compromise, so other things would be even more difficult to build.

This method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, it is just a makeshift solution.

So if the special tool facilities can be upgraded, will they have this capability?
Thinking of this, Hu Jiangshan picked up his mobile phone and entered the "Technology Engine APP" to check the status of Tenglong Island's special tool facilities, but there was no upgrade button displayed.

It seems that there is no condition to upgrade the facilities.

Hu Jiangshan sighed, it seemed that this matter had to be put aside for the time being.

Since a new type of rocket transformation vehicle cannot be developed, we can only make do with the old one. It is less efficient, but at least it can be used and the time for rocket launches can be extended.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.

Hu Jiangshan's heart moved. This sound was very pleasant and he hadn't heard it for a long time. It was sent by the Technology Engine APP, which meant that new information had appeared.

Hu Jiangshan took a quick look and couldn't help laughing.

【Discover clues to new facilities, click to view the content.】

Hu Jiangshan clicked on it.

[New clue: Aerospace Equipment Design and Manufacturing Center]

Hu Jiangshan was delighted. The Technology Engine APP could indeed sense the difficulties Hu Jiangshan encountered and launch the most appropriate facilities.

This is exactly what Hu Jiangshan needs now.

【Clue】: Aerospace equipment design and manufacturing center.

[Level]: Junior
【Occupation area】: 1500 square meters.

【Prerequisites】: Intermediate space launch site

【Construction period】: 20 days

【Capital Investment】: 2 million Hong Kong dollars

When Hu Jiangshan saw that it was time to invest the funds, he was stunned and then felt suffocated.

My goodness, two hundred million, that’s too expensive.

Of course, if such a facility were to be built normally in reality, two hundred million Hong Kong dollars would not be enough, not to mention Hong Kong dollars, and construction could not even begin.

However, compared with other facilities in the "Technology Engine APP", two hundred million can be said to be a sky-high price.

Hu Jiangshan even rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.

That’s right, 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

My goodness, Hu Jiangshan still remembered that he had checked his account before, and there was only 18 million Hong Kong dollars in available funds.

Where can I find two hundred million now?
Needless to say, I can only ask Wang Chengdong from Huayao for it.

However, Hu Jiangshan has not paid attention to the semiconductor business recently. Although Zhang Rui reports regularly, Hu Jiangshan cannot remember everything.

I don't know how much money Huayao has outstanding for the goods.

Hu Jiangshan dialed Zhang Rui's number. The phone rang for a long time before Zhang Rui picked up the phone.

"Hey, boss, I'm sorry, we were in a meeting just now and didn't bring our phones."

"It's okay. How's the production line doing lately?"

"Boss, both production lines are running very well, and the yield rate has increased rapidly recently, reaching a maximum of 93%. If we work harder for a while, we may be able to reach 95%."

What Zhang Rui said is a remarkable achievement.

Generally speaking, a wafer yield of more than 90% is already quite good. It is extremely difficult to increase it further, and it may not increase by even one percentage point in one or two years.

Zhang Rui was able to reach 93% in just a few months, which shows that their work is very effective.

Of course there is another reason, which is that the production line has strong capabilities, so things can be done more efficiently.

Zhang Rui added: "Boss, we have recently started preliminary research on 4-nanometer manufacturing. I think we can make a breakthrough. I am confident that we can complete it, but the yield rate in the early stage may be very low, which will waste some resources."
