Chapter 392 Artificial Island

A huge and familiar figure appeared on the sea. Ye Chen had seen it many times in the media. It was our artificial island. 【Latest chapter reading】

Artificial island, this is a term that has become famous all over the world in recent years. Over the past few years, China has been building islands in the South China Sea, which has become the focus of global attention.

"Artificial island." Ye Chen was so excited.

"Artificial island!" Everyone on the same plane screamed.

In the past few years, China has built large-scale islands in the South China Sea. This is a world-wide event, and everyone in China knows about it. This is a very exciting thing, which means that the Celestial Dynasty will recover the South China Sea Islands.

Sadly, no chance to come to the man-made island. Now, the opportunity has come, finally you can see the artificial island with your own eyes, you can board the artificial island to have a look, who can not be excited?

Ye Chen lay on the window, looking at the artificial island, his eyes widened.

The special plane was landing, and it was getting closer to the ground. Ye Chen looked at the approaching ground and was very proud. This is the outpost of our country.

As soon as the special plane stopped, Ye Chen frantically put on his seat belt, stood up, and wished he could set foot on the reef immediately.

There are many impatient people like Ye Chen, who is better in the technical team?

Finally, standing on the gangway, Ye Chen looked out, and saw that the long runway was very neat. There are many buildings on the island, as well as trees, flowers, and vegetable gardens.

Take a breath, the air is very hot, a bit scorching, and there is a smell of sea. However, Ye Chen felt that it was like fine nectar and jade dew, and it made him intoxicated, so he couldn't help taking a few sips, and then he was contented to hold the gangway to get off the plane.

There are many people like Ye Chen, and there are all technical team members.

They have been yearning for the artificial island for a long time. When they come to the island for the first time, they must breathe the air of the island.

Ye Chen stepped on the ground, stomped hard, and felt a sense of solidity from the soles of his feet, which made him feel a little more real.

If it wasn't for this trip to the South China Sea for testing, we don't know how long it would take to set foot on the man-made island.

"Xiaoye, this is your first time in the South China Sea, let me walk with you." Admiral Gan saw Ye Chen's high spirits and suggested.

"Chief, is this okay? Don't you have military affairs?" Ye Chen couldn't bear it.

Admiral Gan is the chief officer of the strategic forces,

There are too many military affairs to be dealt with, so it is so rare to accompany Ye Chen for a walk. However, if he missed his handling of military affairs, Ye Chen felt that his crime would be serious.

"Military affairs are not in a hurry, they have been dealt with in advance. It's rare for me to come out once, so it's good to take this opportunity to relax." Ye Chen was able to remind him that he had military affairs to deal with, which is very good, General Gan gave Ye Chen a compliment eyes.

As the chief officer of the strategic forces, General Gan had to deal with a lot of military affairs, and it was rare for him to have free time in a year. It's good to take a break this time.

"Okay then. Thank you, chief." Ye Chen said happily.

It's the first time I came to the island, and I'm not familiar with the situation. It would be great if someone accompanied me to explain, Ye Chen has no reason to refuse.

"I am the host, and I will accompany you for a walk." Admiral Luo looked at the islands and reefs for a while, and said with emotion: "It's been a while since I came."

He was originally a strong general in the South China Sea, but now that he has been promoted, it is not easy to come to the South China Sea once.

The two generals accompanied Ye Chen, what a great face, the team members were very envious, and wished to change with Ye Chen. However, this was Ye Chen, they couldn't compare, so they had to go to watch the man-made island in groups of three or four.

This is a rare opportunity. If you miss this time, you don’t know when you will have another chance. Don’t miss it.

Accompanied by General Luo and General Gan, Ye Chen wandered around the island.

Ye Chen looked at the neat roads, the rows of trees and flowers, the lush greenery, and the clusters of buildings. He was very moved, and said: "I remember the first time I saw the photos of this island. At that time, there were only runways and airports. Others There is nothing. Now, everything that should be there is available, and the construction speed is not so fast. This is the speed of the Celestial Dynasty!"

Celestial speed?

General Luo and General Gan looked at each other and nodded slightly, appreciating Ye Chen's comment very much.

"The photos released at the beginning were after the completion of the infrastructure. Now, more than a year has passed, and the situation must be different." Admiral Luo explained to Ye Chen, "We didn't build the artificial island for the sake of face. It’s not for people to see, but it’s of great use.”

Building an artificial island is not so easy, it requires a lot of money and advanced technology. The country has spent so much energy building artificial islands, that is because artificial islands have great value.

"Island building can be divided into three steps. The first step is to build islands based on the reefs protruding from the sea." Admiral Luo continued: "In this regard, our country has the most advanced technology in the world. In the past, We have also carried out reclamation to build islands, but the technology at that time was too backward, and soil had to be transported from the mainland, which was costly and inefficient, and it was not cost-effective.”

It is a traditional method to transport soil from the mainland to fill the sea and build islands. Up to now, most of the islands in the world have used this method.

This method is low-tech, expensive, and poorly efficient.

Especially for our country, it is almost impossible to use this method to create enough islands in the South China Sea.

Because the South China Sea has more than 3 million square kilometers, most of which belong to our country. If we want to actually control this place, we need a lot of islands.

With so many islands built in this way, the result can be imagined.

"Our country has a vast sea area. It is unrealistic to use this method to build enough islands to meet our needs. Through the efforts of our national scientific and technological personnel, we have the most advanced island-building technology in the world. There is no need to transport soil from the inland, we use local materials. This saves trouble and effort, saves money, and is extremely efficient.” Admiral Luo pointed to the man-made island and said: “We only took a few years to build To achieve such a huge achievement was unimaginable in the past.”

The soil needed for an artificial island is amazing, and the inefficiency of transporting it from the mainland to the South China Sea makes people speechless. If the traditional island-building method is adopted, not to mention such an astonishing achievement in just a few years, it will be impossible for ten years or even longer.

"In the past, there was only one reef here, but now, it is already a big island." Admiral Luo gestured.

Ye Chen can see that the current island is dozens of times the size of the original reef. Moreover, in just a few years, our country not only turned this place into an island, but also planted flowers and grass, and built so many houses.

"The second stage is to carry out infrastructure construction." Admiral Luo continued.

"I remember that when we were doing infrastructure construction, the Western world led by the United States accused us of being wrong for this and that." Ye Chen took the conversation and said with a sneer: "Japan is the most shameless about building an island. It’s just a few rocks protruding from the sea, not even a reef, but Japan calls it an island. Then, Japan created an artificial island and took it as its own. What right does Japan have to blame us?”

"They have double standards. Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps." Admiral Gan commented.

"Chief, you are too polite. According to me, this is a typical example of selling meat and setting up a sign." Ye Chen curled the corners of his mouth and said disdainfully.

"Xiaoye, you are really welcome. But, I like it." Admiral Luo smiled.

Admiral Gan nodded in approval.

Is there any country in the Western world led by the United States that has not done island building? Why can these western countries do it, but our country can't? This is typical Western hegemonic thinking.

Ye Chen's metaphor is really apt. The United States and Japan want to sell meat without allowing people to talk about it, and they also have to set up a brand for themselves to whitewash themselves as sacred.

"After the infrastructure was built, our country carried out tests, and came up with a method that surprised the whole world, that is, to use civilian aircraft to test." Ye Chen praised: "This is a wise approach. "

Admirals Luo and Gan were full of approval.

This move is very wise, it can not only make the outside world less blame us, but also can test whether the airport is good or not.

Because the take-off and landing requirements of civilian aircraft are much higher than those of military aircraft, it is even less of a problem for military aircraft to be able to take off and land civilian aircraft.

Another advantage of this is that it can reduce the outside world's accusations and unnecessary troubles.

Of course, no matter what we do, the Western countries headed by the United States will always blame us, and this trick is useless to them. What is useful to these countries is the fist. Whoever refuses to accept it will hit you with a punch, and see if you accept it or not?

"The third step is to build living facilities." Admiral Luo pointed to the tall buildings in front of him, and said, "Xiaoye, look, this is our living facilities, including housing, communication facilities, weather forecast, and pig farms, vegetable farms etc."

If our country wants to recover the South China Sea, we need some bases, which requires islands. After the island is built, relevant personnel need to be settled in, which requires providing them with living facilities.

Food and shelter became inevitable.

"Of course, there are military facilities like hangars, right?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"If we tell the outside world, we will not admit it. We will only say that this is to improve living conditions and serve the world." Admiral Gan said playfully: "But for Xiaoye, we can say it bluntly, it is necessary."

If there are no military facilities, how can we talk about recovering the South China Sea? The United States still does not regard the South China Sea as its own back garden?

It has been half a month since the US aircraft carrier came to the South China Sea, and it has been reluctant to leave, but it dare not enter our territorial waters. It is because the United States fears our military facilities. Without these military facilities, US aircraft carriers would not come and go as they wanted, as before.

He definitely wouldn't just sit still like he is now, maybe he'd spent several rounds in the South China Sea.

"Xiaoye, tonight, I will treat you with the pork raised by the soldiers on this island, the vegetables grown, and the purified water." Admiral Luo waved his right hand, very proudly, and said, "Bao Zheng impresses you." profound."

"Okay." Ye Chen readily agreed.

"Xiaoye, do you know what happened on this island during the July 12 confrontation last year?" Admiral Gan asked again.
