Three hours later.
After surveying the topography with a group of scientific researchers, Jiang Cheng did not waste any more time, but gave an order and announced the official start of the island-building plan!
The next moment, the three cutter suction dredgers started at the same time and headed towards their respective predetermined locations.
This time, in order to speed up the progress of island building, Jiang Cheng specially dispatched three dredgers to work together, and adopted a filling plan to construct from three directions at the same time, in order to complete the island building task as quickly as possible.
The working principle of a cutter suction dredger is to first use a huge auger to probe into the seabed, stir up the gravel and mud on the seabed, then use a pump to suck the mud and mud into the seawater, and then blow the mud and mud filtered out of the seawater to the islands and reefs more than ten miles away through pipes.
After the land is formed, pile-driving ships are used to drive piles to consolidate the edges, and finally a rammer is used to compact the loose soil.
This is the whole process of blowing sand to build an island.
As the three dredgers sailed to the designated location, the two dredgers, like giant crab claws, penetrated directly into the seabed and stirred up the mud and sand under the water.
Jiang Cheng, who was sitting in the flying car and saw this scene, nodded slightly, then took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and issued another command.
Shortly after this order was issued, more than a dozen small reconnaissance ships slowly set out from the Octopus Island port and sailed towards the island and reef.
In order to prevent the outside world from knowing about Emerald Island's plan, Jiang Cheng felt it necessary to implement an information blockade. Therefore, this time he specially dispatched more than a dozen reconnaissance ships to patrol the waters near the reef and drive away any ships that attempted to approach.
In short, we must do everything we can to buy enough time for the construction of this new territory.
After the dozen or so reconnaissance ships were dispatched, Jiang Cheng did not stay here, but returned to Emerald Island.
Since the construction has started smoothly, all he needs to do is implement it according to plan. He doesn't need to be here to look after it personally, as he has more important things to deal with.
…
Over the next month or so.
The situation outside Emerald Island remains the same.
During this period, although Jiang's Shipping suffered interference from external hostile forces, its expansion momentum was slowed down.
But overall, the results are extremely fruitful.
According to the current situation, Jiang's Shipping has completely risen from the ashes and been reborn. Not only has it regained its former glory, but it has even made other breakthroughs. Its market share has firmly ranked first in Asia, making it the undisputed overlord of the Asian shipping industry.
In just a few months, Jiang's Shipping has launched a predatory attack on the Asian market and reshuffled it.
Currently, Jiang's Shipping has established offices in as many as 21 countries in Asia, recruited nearly 15,000 employees, and is fully committed to promoting Asian shipping business.
The scope of business involved has also been expanded, and has extended its tentacles to terminal operations and oil and gas production.
The production of oil and natural gas is a key business that Jiang Cheng specifically highlighted, and it can even be considered the top priority of Jiang’s Shipping.
In the future, as Jiang's Shipping grows stronger, it will certainly get involved in the exploitation of natural energy such as oil and natural gas in the waters around Emerald Island. Therefore, these current businesses can be regarded as accumulating technical strength and making necessary preparations for large-scale exploitation in the future.
In addition to its steady progress in the shipping industry, the high-speed ships manufactured by Emerald Isle are finally available to a wide range of customers.
You should know that in the previous few months, the ships produced by Emerald Island were all supplied to Jiang Shipping and Emerald Island for internal use, and were not officially sold to the outside until now.
Of course, there are certainly restrictions on the types of ships that can be sold.
In order to prevent technology outflow and maintain technological blockade as much as possible, Jiang Cheng gave instructions that the current export ship types are mainly concentrated on small and medium-sized container ships.
This type of container ship has a low level of technology but a high level of integration and is not easy to imitate, so it is very suitable as an export product.
However, even this product, which Jiang Cheng considered to be the lowest-end product, still caused a sensation in the world once it was announced.
You know, at the previous Leicestershire Ship Expo, the Emerald Isle's high-speed transport ship shocked the whole world. Now that this kind of black technology ship is finally for sale, it is conceivable how many potential customers will be delighted.
Almost all potential customers have expressed their intention to purchase to Emerald Island, but obviously, Emerald Island does not have such a large production capacity at present.
According to the ordering agreements previously signed with major shipping companies, Emerald Island can only provide products to these large customers first. As for other small customers, they can only wait patiently.
Even so, when Emerald Island delivered the first batch of four small container ships to Maersk, the world's largest shipping company, it was still extremely excited, and a delivery ceremony was held in front of the whole world, allowing the world to admire Emerald Island's epoch-making ship products.
This pushed the reputation of Emerald Island to a new peak.
After the shipbuilding industry got on track, the Emerald Island's two major export industries can be said to be running neck and neck.
Previous flying cars have successfully gained an international reputation. Almost every day, a large number of Transformer flying cars are carried by Jiang Shipping’s transport ships and delivered to customers all over the world.
At present, flying cars have completely become the engine of Emerald Island's economy, providing huge financial support for the development of Emerald Island. After the export of high-speed transport ships is on track, the two will be able to work together and become the two carriages of Emerald Island's economy.
In short, Emerald Island can now be said to be a thriving scene.
However, this is only on the surface.
Behind the scenes, Emerald Island also faced many challenges, but the general public could not feel these things.
However, the managers behind Emerald Island are well aware that Emerald Island is living in danger almost every day today.
The sources of danger are also varied.
Recently, Emerald Island’s unique intelligence department has discovered some “tourists” with peculiar behaviors in every corner of Emerald Island through secret exploration and investigation.
On the surface, they traveled around the island as tourists, but secretly used various filming equipment to conduct a detailed investigation of Emerald Island, including contact with some sensitive institutions and personnel.
There are even many tourists who privately drive boats towards Octopus Island!
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng had already made arrangements and strictly prohibited anyone from approaching Octopus Island, which stopped these "tourists".
But after this incident, the secret location of Octopus Island was obviously exposed.
In short, espionage activities like this are constantly happening on Emerald Island, posing a huge challenge to the security of Emerald Island!
After realizing this, Jiang Cheng knew that the hostile forces were becoming more and more worried about the existence of Emerald Island...
