For three consecutive days, Jiang Cheng once again turned into a hardworking little bee, busy patrolling around the Emerald Island.
This time, the key areas he surveyed were mainly some coastal waters of Emerald Island, as well as some riverside waters.
In short, he made sure to carefully survey every place that was suitable for building a shipyard and not miss any.
Logically speaking, Emerald Island is vast and isolated in the deep ocean, so there should be many places suitable for building a shipyard.
However, after a careful inspection, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly.
That’s right, there are indeed many locations suitable for building a shipyard, and whether in terms of draft depth or transportation, they can perfectly meet his requirements.
However, after careful consideration, Jiang Cheng eliminated them one by one.
There is no way. These places do meet the conditions for building factories, but they are also suitable for development into tourist resorts. Most of these places have beautiful scenery and the pristine coastal scenery unique to Emerald Island. If they are used to build shipyards, it would be a waste of resources.
Moreover, as early as the beginning of the development of Emerald Island, Jiang Cheng established a development principle, which is that the development cannot be at the cost of harming the natural environment of Emerald Island.
It was based on this iron rule that Jiang Cheng had to give up all his previous choices.
Of course, when Jiang Cheng was screening the shipyard locations one by one, his attention was not entirely focused on Emerald Island.
There are three main principles for site selection of general shipyards.
Firstly, the production area of a shipyard is mainly used to arrange various large-scale suspension, manufacturing, and transportation facilities, so the production site of the shipyard must be wide and flat, and have a large construction area.
Secondly, the factory area must have a deeper draft to ensure the ships can leave the dock and sail.
Third, the shipping here must be convenient.
Based on the above three considerations, Jiang Cheng suddenly had an idea and a suitable choice emerged.
Thinking of this, he quickly opened the Island Tycoon app and called up the three-dimensional holographic projection of Emerald Island and the surrounding waters.
However, Jiang Cheng's attention was not focused on the Emerald Island, but his sight shifted to the "outlying islands" near the Emerald Island.
As early as the initial survey of Emerald Island, Jiang Cheng had already carefully mapped out all of the outlying islands that were scattered in a chain to the southwest of Emerald Island.
There are 12 outlying islands in total.
Among them, the largest Ivory Island is 15 square kilometers in size, and the smallest Octopus Island is only 0.3 square kilometers.
Like the main island, Emerald Island, these outlying islands are equally beautiful and rare to see.
After a quick glance, Jiang Cheng focused his attention on the farthest island.
Octopus Island!
Jiang Cheng thought of this name when he first saw the island.
Because, viewed from the sky, this small island looks like a giant octopus with eight tentacles spread out!
In fact, Octopus Island is also suitable for development into a small resort. There are deep bays, large shallow water areas, and calm winds. It is a suitable choice whether it is used to build beach villas or develop a diving park.
However, after some inner struggle, Jiang Cheng finally decided to use it as the construction site of the shipyard.
Because this place is really suitable for building a shipyard.
First of all, the entire island is open and flat, and you can see the end at a glance. In the future, it is completely possible to build the entire island into a "shipbuilding island".
Secondly, there are eight "tentacle-shaped" lands extending into the sea, thus creating eight natural docks.
In the future, Jiang Cheng can build these eight tentacles into eight large shipbuilding docks, where he can build eight large ships at the same time.
Finally, there is vast sea all around here without any obstructions, and it is far away from Emerald Island. Not only does it not affect the daily life of the people on the island, it also has a vast transportation space.
In the future, if a ship is launched here, it can go directly into the sea, which is convenient and fast.
Just the moment he saw the island, many thoughts emerged in Jiang Cheng's mind, making him excited.
Octopus Island is the farthest from Emerald Island and far away from people's sight. Therefore, no matter what kind of underwater or underwater high-tech products Jiang Cheng develops on this island in the future, he does not have to worry about being stolen or monitored.
You know, the confidentiality of black technology products is also very important.
Jiang Cheng can already foresee that when his black technology products appear in the world one by one in the future, they will inevitably attract the covetousness of some hostile forces or competitors. By then, there will probably be a large number of commercial spies on his territory, engaging in espionage or stealing commercial secrets.
He must be alert enough about this.
Jiang Cheng even suspected that there were probably quite a few spies active on Emerald Island now.
Therefore, even considering this aspect, it is an extremely appropriate decision to place the shipyard, which is an important pillar industry of Emerald Island in the future, on Octopus Island, far away from Emerald Island.
In the future, Jiang Cheng will militarize and even manage Octopus Island in a confidential manner, and even completely isolate Octopus Island from other islands. Only a very small number of people will be able to approach Emerald Island, so as to minimize the possibility of leaks.
After these ideas flashed through Jiang Cheng's mind, he quickly wrote them down and would later form a special set of management regulations.
Shaking his head, Jiang Cheng turned his attention back to Octopus Island.
The most important thing at the moment is to survey the island in person and then build the shipyard as quickly as possible.
This is the top priority!
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng did not delay any longer. He went straight to the outside of the villa and drove Xiao Hei towards Octopus Island in the southwest.
The sky is clear and the air is fresh, with not a single cloud in sight.
High in the sky, Jiang Cheng drove Xiao Hei steadily and appeared above a chain of islands.
Looking down from here, you can see small islands of various shapes embedded in the blue sea, which is extremely spectacular.
However, the most vivid one is the Octopus Island located at the farthest end.
It stretched out its eight long tentacles and lay comfortably on the sea.
The moment he saw Octopus Island, Jiang Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Although it is just an inconspicuous island now, Jiang Cheng believes that it will not be long before it becomes a shipbuilding paradise.
World-shaking scientific and technological achievements, as well as giant ships with powerful performance, will be born here and travel through the sea of stars!
