Over Octopus Island.
Jiang Cheng used his hands and feet to steadily control Xiao Hei and landed on an open space in the center of the island.
Pushing open the car door, Jiang Cheng got out of the flying car and slowly walked around the island.
I have to say, watching from the sky is one thing, but walking down and taking a walk in person is another.
Although according to the system's calculations, the area of Octopus Island is only 0.3 square kilometers, which can be said to be a tiny place, but in fact, the range it actually extends to is still far greater than 0.3, and can even reach more than 3 square kilometers!
Such coverage area is enough to enable it to play a greater role.
This is also good news for the shipyard that is about to be built.
After all, the current factory construction cannot be completed overnight, but must be carried out step by step and continuously improved.
According to Jiang Cheng's plan, the purpose of building the shipyard this time is mainly to produce the first batch of its own ship products so as to participate in the upcoming Leicestershire Exhibition and enhance the reputation of the Emerald Isle.
Therefore, in order to save time, he could only try his best to produce a batch of the world's current mainstream transport ships and apply the black technology of "supercavitation" to practice.
Only when Emerald Island has truly established its reputation in the future will we expand on this basis and continue to increase production capacity.
The current Octopus Island can fully meet the needs of future expansion.
While inspecting Octopus Island, Jiang Cheng nodded with satisfaction in his heart.
This personal inspection gave him a rough idea of the current and future construction plans, so the trip was worthwhile.
In the following time, Jiang Cheng did not delay any further, but drove Xiao Hei directly back to the villa in Baisha Bay.
As soon as he returned to the villa, Jiang Cheng turned on his mobile phone, called up the system's construction section, and selected a shipyard-type building.
In an instant, all kinds of shipyards appeared in front of Jiang Cheng, making him dazzled.
After careful screening and creative DIY combination, a three-dimensional model of a fully automatic, high-tech shipyard appeared in front of Jiang Cheng.
[Name]：100,000-ton commercial shipyard
[Parameters]: hull processing workshop X1, welding workshop X1, assembly workshop X1, outfitting workshop X1, painting workshop X1, open-air slide X2, floating dock X6, outfitting dock X1, other supporting underwater facilities X1
[Area]: 0.8 square kilometers of land, 3.6 square kilometers of water
Cost: US$450 million
[Time]: 20 days
[Products]: Ocean liner, dry cargo ship, liquid cargo ship, container ship, refrigerated ship, LNG ship
Looking at the parameters of this 100,000-ton commercial shipyard, Jiang Cheng's eyes flickered brightly.
10 tons class!
Although it is not the largest among the current shipyards in the world, it is already large enough to be among the top ones. Moreover, this is only his first shipyard and there is still a lot of room for promotion in the future.
As far as Jiang Cheng knows, the largest transport ship in the world today is a floating liquefied natural gas carrier, or FLNG, with a tonnage of a terrifying 640,000 tons!
It can be called a mobile monster on the sea!
FLNG is a top-notch high-tech ship that is even more difficult to build than LNG. Currently, only a few shipyards in the world are able to build it, and its tonnage is at least 300,000 tons.
Therefore, no matter from the perspective of construction difficulty or construction scale, FLNG ships can be regarded as the crown product of the shipbuilding industry.
In addition, there is another supertanker with a tonnage of over 600,000 tons - the Sea Giant!
The Sea Giant is a super transport ship for transporting oil. It can transport nearly 580,000 tons of oil at a time, which is almost enough to meet the monthly needs of a city with a population of 20 million!
From this we can see that the development direction of the world's shipping industry is towards larger tonnage and faster speeds, and there is still a lot of room for Jiang Cheng to explore.
From 10 tons to 600,000 tons is a huge challenge.
However, Jiang Cheng is willing to accept this challenge!
Shaking his head, Jiang Cheng temporarily put this challenge aside and turned his attention to the shipyard model in front of him.
It has to be said that large products such as ships require more raw materials, which leads to a sharp increase in the cost of shipyards.
However, Jiang Cheng can still afford it.
With the successful commercialization of the "Transformer" flying car, more and more countries and regions have begun to participate in the discussion of introducing flying cars and incorporating them into future urban transportation planning.
This led to a sharp increase in the number of flying car orders received by Emerald Island. If Jiang Cheng had not been worried about technology leakage due to too-rapid output, he would have started building a second flying car manufacturing plant long ago.
The direct benefit of the sharp increase in orders is that Jiang Cheng's wallet has become fatter.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng really didn’t care about the shipyard’s cost of 450 million US dollars.
Looking at the magnificent shipyard model in front of him, Jiang Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he clicked the "Build" button without hesitation.
"Ding! Please select the construction location"
As the system prompt sounded, a two-dimensional plane model of Octopus Island popped up in Jiang Cheng's sight.
Jiang Cheng's eyes slowly swept across the two-dimensional plane model, and finally stopped at a bay that he had been paying attention to during previous field investigations.
Hippo Bay!
Hippo Bay is located in the heart of Octopus Island, facing the Pacific Ocean. It has calm seas, flat terrain, and a deep-water trench along the coast, which is very suitable for building shipyards and other facilities.
This is it!
"Sure!"
With Jiang Cheng's order, this commercial shipyard, which Jiang Cheng had high hopes for, finally entered the construction process.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng let out a long sigh, with an expression of relief on his face.
These days, he has been really exhausted.
He goes out early and comes back late every day, and he hardly even has time to eat. As for his previous daily massage and entertainment activities, he has temporarily stopped them.
My shoulders are so sore!
Jiang Cheng rubbed his shoulders and felt a pain.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng picked up his phone and dialed a familiar number.
"Dear island owner, how can I help you?"
Hearing the soft and tender female voice from the other side, Jiang Cheng's heart was moved. Then, a blazing light flashed in his eyes, and he said in an unquestionable tone:
"Nika, call Tina, I need your authentic French massage!"
After saying this, Jiang Cheng walked out of the villa, took off his clothes, and dived into the blue infinity pool...
