Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 411 The Second Space Launch Site
Hu Jiangshan asked: "If they reach Tenglong Bay, they should be safe."

Fang Xiaoya said: "Yes, that's what we told the captain. Now it depends on luck. If the sea conditions change too quickly, it will be really troublesome. The alternative plan now is to find a port to anchor and avoid the wind and waves."

Hu Jiangshan said: "Don't worry, I think it shouldn't be a big problem."

Hu Jiangshan chatted with Fang Xiaoya about some details, then said goodbye and hung up the phone.

Hu Jiangshan quickly used his mobile phone to check the nearby sea conditions and found that there would indeed be a storm in the next few days.

According to storm forecasts, there will definitely be a storm as early as the early morning of the day after tomorrow and as late as the day after tomorrow.

This is indeed very troublesome. According to the worst case scenario, a storm will come in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. The time is too tight and the transport ship may not be able to reach Tenglong Bay.

What's loaded on it is a rocket prototype, a very large and sophisticated object. If the transport ship capsizes, everything will be ruined.

Not to mention the huge losses suffered by Starry Glory, it is impossible for Hu Jiangshan to stay completely out of it.

The Starry Sky Glory rocket prototype had a problem and could not be put in place, so Hu Jiangshan's space launch site temporarily lost the opportunity to become a hit, or at least the launch time would be significantly delayed.

What's more, after this incident, everyone in Star Glory will definitely be discouraged. It is still unknown whether they will choose to transport the new rocket prototype to Hong Kong Island.

In addition, according to the terms of the contract signed by Hu Jiangshan and Starry Sky Glory, Hu Jiangshan is also responsible for the transportation of the rocket prototype. If any problems arise in the middle, Jiangshan Company will also bear part of the losses.

Now Hu Jiangshan has no choice. No matter how powerful the Technology Engine APP is, it cannot affect the weather.

It depends on whether the captain of the transport ship has the courage or is lucky enough to reach Tenglong Island before the storm.

Forget it. There’s no need to rush this kind of thing. Let’s just leave it to fate.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan felt something strange. He turned his head and found that the employees who were eating were looking at him from time to time, and some were whispering and talking.

Most likely, it was Hu Jiangshan's phone call just now that attracted the attention of these employees.

Hu Jiangshan coughed lightly, put his phone on the table, and quickly started eating his meal.

After dinner, Hu Jiangshan drove his commuter bus to the eastern corner of Tenglong Island.

Hu Jiangshan wanted to see the construction progress of the resort on site.

Along the way, Hu Jiangshan would occasionally see a large construction vehicle driving in the same direction.

Hundreds of construction vehicles drove to Dongjiao one after another, and it would take several hours to complete the journey.

In addition, some vehicles have to haul construction materials back and forth, making the traffic situation even more complicated.

Fortunately, the asphalt road on the island is of high quality and has amazing bearing capacity. The construction vehicles look big, but they are not that heavy. Otherwise, the road surface would have been completely destroyed by these big vehicles.

When Hu Jiangshan arrived at the dock, he saw several people standing on the side of the road, reminding the island employees passing by to be careful from time to time.

Hu Jiangshan also saw Awang watching his men working outside and shouting at them from time to time.

Hu Jiangshan was very satisfied with their work attitude. This is how things should be done, without any carelessness.

Hu Jiangshan didn't say hello to Awang and continued driving the commuter bus forward.

There were construction vehicles ahead, and even a traffic jam had formed, so Hu Jiangshan's commuter car had to follow slowly behind.

The project is too big and the momentum is too overwhelming.

Fortunately, this is on Hu Jiangshan’s private island. If it was in a densely populated area, it would have caused a sensation.

Another half an hour later, Hu Jiangshan finally entered the east corner.

Although Hu Jiangshan was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the scene.

To use the adjectives commonly used by primary school students in writing essays, the main word is "in full swing".

The entire eastern corner of Tenglong Island has completely turned into a large construction site, with an estimated one or two hundred construction vehicles crowded in, and it looks very dense.

The amazing thing is that these engineering vehicles work very smoothly. Even if there are several of them working in one place at the same time, they coordinate with each other seamlessly and do not interfere with each other.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan had seen such scenes before, but it had been a while since he saw it, so he still felt shocked when he saw it again.

Building a resort is indeed a huge project. Normally, it would take two to three years to complete, and would require the employment of an experienced large developer. However, Hu Jiangshan’s resort only took one and a half months, an effect that could only be achieved with alien technology.

Hu Jiangshan is very much looking forward to it. He believes that the resort will be very beautiful after it is completed.

And the rocket launch pad can be clearly seen from the resort.

In the future, whenever there is a rocket launch mission, guests can watch the grand spectacle of the rocket launch on site at the resort, which must be very shocking.

Of course, the charges on the day of the rocket launch are not the usual prices.

When Hu Jiangshan thought of this, he felt secretly happy.

Huh? Something's wrong!

Hu Jiangshan suddenly realized that his mentality seemed to have changed and he was becoming more and more like a businessman.

If it were in his previous life, Hu Jiangshan would never have had such an idea at all. Making money would never be the first priority, not even the second.

No, Hu Jiangshan is a businessman now, so it’s understandable that he thinks this way.

Hu Jiangshan looked for a while, then drove his electric commuter car to the big villa. Hu Jiangshan did not plan to return to Hong Kong Island today. The prototype of Starry Sky Glory's rocket would arrive tomorrow, and he had to keep an eye on it here and deal with problems at any time.

Originally, Hu Jiangshan wanted to design a small pier exclusively for the resort, but he failed to do so because the facility's main control computer could not perform multiple tasks in parallel. He had to finish the resort first before moving on to the next project.

It doesn’t matter. The resort is the most difficult thing to do. Once this big project is completed, everything else will be easy.

According to previous experience, it would only take a few days to build a small or medium-sized dock, and the cost would not be too much.

At the same time, Ningping District, Hong Kong Island.

Ningping District is very close to the sea on Hong Kong Island and is separated from the main urban area of ​​Hong Kong Island by half a mountain. It is relatively closed and remote.

This is not the most special thing about Ningping District. Most of Ningping District is created by reclaiming land.

The reclamation project is led by the Li family of Hong Kong Island.

As we all know, the head of the Li family in Hong Kong was once the richest man in Asia and enjoyed great glory. In recent years, due to his age, he has been much more low-key. However, those who know the inside story know that the Li family is still as wealthy as a country, and its strength has not weakened, but has instead tended to increase.

There is no way. The head of the Li family is still making decisions for the family. He is the best at making money. The Li family has expanded the Ningping District several times. Of course, it is not for charity, nor for the Hong Kong government to build a seaside park, but for real estate development, which is still their old business.

Either build a sea view hotel, residence, shopping mall, or theme park, just build whatever can make more money.

However, in recent months, the Li family's plans have obviously changed. They had originally planned to approve the project first and then actually start construction a few years later, but they didn't expect that construction would have already started in a big way now.

As for what project is being built, most people really don’t know. Tall barriers have been erected around the construction site, making it impenetrable.

The Li family’s construction team also has very strict internal confidentiality measures. Ordinary construction workers and even foremen don’t know anything at all. They only need to work according to the part of the drawings they are responsible for.

During this period, many reporters who were sensitive to current affairs wanted to interview the Li family and find out what was being built here, but they were all rejected very bluntly without leaving any room for negotiation.

This made people even more curious. Well-informed people mobilized their connections to make frantic inquiries and finally figured out some fragments and clues.

This project is very important and is a high-tech project. It even has capital participation from the Lighthouse Country, including Space X and the Gass family.

As for what the project is, there is no way to find out no matter how hard you try. Those who know about it are very secretive and reluctant to reveal anything, as if they would rather die than reveal anything, as if they would be killed if they reveal it.

At this time, at the entrance of the construction site in Ningping District, several security personnel were chatting while watching the surrounding situation.

They were in a group of three, one of them was holding a rifle-like thing in his hand, but it was not an ordinary rifle and looked quite sci-fi.

People who know the business know that the thing is a drone jammer, which can interfere with the drone's signal and bring it down.

The other two were also equipped with batons, sprays and other riot control equipment.

There are several groups of personnel in this way outside the construction site, so the security is quite tight.

"Brother Zhuang, it's been pretty quiet these past two days. No suspicious people around. It's pretty boring."

"I'm telling you, don't take it lightly. The requirements are very strict. If you don't work hard, you will be fired easily. Then I won't be able to protect you."

"I know. I was just saying it casually. Such a good job must be done well. By the way, Brother Zhuang, I heard that an important person is visiting today. Is it true?"

"…Who told you that?"

"Brother Zhuang, just tell me if it's true or not."

"Yes, there is indeed an important person visiting, so we have to be alert and not allow any security problems to occur."

"I understand. I understand. Brother Zhuang, who is coming? Can you tell me?"

"Do you think I would know? This matter is confidential. We don't need to know. Just do our job well."

The two security guards were talking when they suddenly heard the sound of an engine. They quickly stood up straight and resumed their state of full concentration and serious work.

Two extended versions of Maybach drove up one after another. Zhuang Ge went forward to take a look and found that the executive was sitting in the passenger seat. He quickly signaled to open the safety gate of the construction site.

Zhuang Ge stood straight, almost saluting. Naturally, the other two did not dare to be negligent and stood up straighter with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.

Obviously, the people sitting in these two Maybachs are the so-called VIPs coming today.

The company's executives all have to sit in the co-pilot seat, which shows how important the VIP is. He is definitely a big shot!

The three of them were so nervous that they didn't even dare to look inside the car window.

Of course, the car windows are all made of privacy glass, so no matter how hard you look, you can't see anything. It's a waste of effort and will cause trouble for yourself.

Only when two Maybachs drove into the construction site one after another did the three security guards breathe a sigh of relief and the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed.

"Brother Zhuang, how important was the person who just entered?"

"Okay, this must be a very important person, let's stop whispering. If someone above sees us, we will be in big trouble."

At this time, two Maybachs drove into the construction site, drove forward for a few minutes, and stopped in a parking space on the side of the construction site.

This construction site is so large that you can’t see the end at a glance. It is probably much larger than five or six full-size football fields combined.

Seven or eight people got out of the two Maybachs, including quite a few European and American faces.

That’s right, the so-called VIPs came from the Lighthouse Country, most of them were members of SpaceX, led by the old face James.

Since Space X has come, of course someone from the Gass family must come as well.

Catherine Gass got out of the car, and the accompanying bodyguard quickly put the prepared sun hat on the young lady to prevent the strong sunlight from burning her delicate skin.

Now that Catherine has become Bill Gates' agent, she doesn't have to travel around the world, but if she comes to Hong Kong Island or goes to the mainland, Catherine is likely to be interested in participating.

As we all know, Catherine is very fond of the East, and even her appearance and temperament have an oriental feel.

With the arrival of such an important figure, the people in Hong Kong responsible for receiving and accompanying him must of course be of high rank.

Are the senior executives of Changhe Industrial responsible? That's impossible. It must be an important member of the family.

So Li Changxi once again took on this important task.

The Li family always sent Li Changxi to receive them on purpose. After all, Li Changxi had been following this project and had a better understanding of it. Moreover, Li Changxi was the only one who cared the most about it.

Li Changxi looked out at the construction site, where tower cranes stood in rows and at least several hundred construction workers were working intensively.

This project is of course the space launch site.

At this time, the prototype of the entire launch site has appeared, which shows that the progress is very fast. However, Li Changxi is still not satisfied and anxious. He hopes to see the completion of the launch site tomorrow.

Of course, that is impossible. In order to speed up the project, Li Changxi has found several of the most efficient and capable construction teams, but such a large-scale project cannot be accomplished overnight.

James said, "Not bad. I didn't expect the progress to be so fast. At this rate, it should be completed soon, right?"

Li Changxi said quickly: "We will do it as soon as possible and try to finish it in the second half of the year."

James said: "Great, once the facility is completed, we can prepare to ship the advanced equipment over."

Li Changxi glanced at Catherine and breathed a sigh of relief. The young lady smiled and was obviously very satisfied with the progress.

Catherine suddenly asked, "By the way, what's the situation with Boss Hu now?"

Li Changxi was stunned. He didn't expect Catherine to ask this question, but he still answered: "I haven't heard about any movement from Boss Hu... Boss Hu recently. Maybe he won't get any orders for a while."
