(This is the first chapter, there will be more in the evening~~ In addition, there has been no update in the past few days, resulting in a few recommended votes! So, everyone, please vote!!)
Two months later.
early morning.
It's another calm day.
At Emerald Island, at the dedicated dock No. C in Laputa Port, a new 10,000-ton amphibious transport ship slowly accelerated and left this slightly remote dock, heading towards the southwest waters ahead.
This is an amphibious transport boat with a full load displacement of nearly 30,000 tons. Compared with large transport ships that weigh more than 100,000 tons, this transport boat is very inconspicuous.
However, its multifunctional use is completely unmatched by ordinary transport ships.
Because this is an amphibious transport ship.
Its overall design style is derived from that of a large transport ship, but its interior combines a dock landing ship and a transport ship.
On top of the hull, there is a deck designed to store large containers, and inside there are docks and cargo holds that can be used to park special materials and transport vehicles, allowing for direct landing and achieving rapid transportation.
In addition, this amphibious transport boat is also equipped with a supercavitation launcher, and it is the latest model. Its propulsion efficiency is far greater than the model sold externally. It can be regarded as a version for internal use of Emerald Island.
On this basis, this 30,000-ton amphibious transport boat can reach a maximum speed of 65 knots, or 120 kilometers per hour, which is nearly 30 kilometers per hour higher than the commercial version sold to the outside world!
This shows how high its transportation efficiency is!
As soon as it entered the sea, the amphibious transport boat turned on its supercavitation propulsion, which enabled it to reach full speed mode in a very short time.
From a distance, the transport boat drew a beautiful white water belt on the sea, like a high-speed train sailing on the sea.
When the first transport boat disappeared, a second transport boat loaded with cargo also sailed out from the same port and sped along the same route.
In one morning, as many as 12 transport boats were working at full capacity, transporting large quantities of supplies towards the southwest waters of Emerald Island!
Since this port is relatively remote and out of the sight of ordinary people, not many people have discovered it. However, for the senior officials of Emerald Island who participated in this transportation mission, this is an extremely secret transportation mission.
Because the secret island-building mission had been declared successfully completed a few days ago, and the next step would be to enter the stage of full development.
It is precisely because of this that such a huge amount of supplies are needed there, and in order to speed up transportation efficiency, a batch of such high-speed transport boats were specially built.
While the secret transport mission was being carried out in full swing, Jiang Cheng, the person in charge of the mission, was not idle either.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng was riding in a super luxurious flying car, staring at the island below!
That’s right, besides Emerald Island, Jiang Cheng finally owns another island!
Under the clear sky, I saw a small square island lying across the blue sea. It was so magical!
In general, this is an island with an inclined rectangular shape. After a series of filling, piling and expansion measures, the originally unnamed island and reef group has been completely renewed and integrated into a real island.
The island area is close to 1.2 square kilometers, which is even larger than Octopus Island.
And, most importantly, there are still large rocky underwater reefs in the northeast of the island. Since these reefs are more than ten meters underwater, it will take a lot of time to fill them up with blowing gas.
Therefore, based on this, Jiang Cheng ordered to temporarily abandon this reef that is too deep underwater and leave it for subsequent secondary development. Currently, only efforts are focused on developing the current reclamation part.
In fact, the area that has been reclaimed is large enough, so there is always space for any facilities to be built on it.
An area of 1.2 square kilometers is enough to build a small city.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng, sitting in the flying car, looked at the newly created island and smiled with satisfaction.
This new island, or new territory, was so important to him, to Emerald Island, that he was in constant anxiety during the construction months.
Fortunately, due to his sufficient preparations beforehand, this most critical secret plan since the establishment of Emerald Island was not exposed, and all the planned filling and compaction projects were finally completed a few days ago.
The island is now ready to enter the formal construction phase.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately opened the Tropico APP, and then the attribute panel appeared.
Compared to the beginning, Jiang Cheng’s personal information has also undergone tremendous changes!
[Island Owner]: Jiang Cheng
[Level]: Lv4
[Money]: 1.7 trillion US dollars
[Number of islands under its jurisdiction]: 2 (Emerald Island, Nanyao Island)
[Area of territory under jurisdiction]: 3,625 square kilometers
[Area of territorial waters]: 48,500 square kilometers
Nanyao Island is the name Jiang Cheng specifically gave to this newly built artificial island.
The so-called key refers to the "key to the door", from which we can also see what Jiang Cheng meant.
This Nanyao Island can be said to be the southern gateway of the future Emerald Island and plays a vital role in the safety of Emerald Island.
Today, the territory under Jiang Cheng's name has reached 3,625 square kilometers, 5 square kilometers more than before. This is mainly the result of some island expansion projects around Emerald Island.
The territorial sea area has expanded by 7,000 square kilometers!
The main reason for this is Nanyao Island.
But Jiang Cheng knew that Nanyao Island would not only bring 7,000 square kilometers of territorial waters, but also cover more than 100,000 square kilometers of sea area! !
That’s right!
That’s 100,000 square kilometers!
The straight-line distance between Nanyue Island and Emerald Island is nearly 60 nautical miles, which is relatively short in this vast ocean.
With such a short distance, once Emerald Island’s maritime military strength develops in the future, it will be able to achieve military control.
The impact of this is that this short 60 nautical miles interval has become the private route of Emerald Island, and ships from any other country will become a no-fly zone within this 60 nautical miles.
So, this is equivalent to the Emerald Island family monopolizing a huge sea area on the ocean and can treat it as its own back garden.
Of course, whether all this can be achieved depends on the development of Emerald Island itself.
Jiang Cheng knew that the existence of Nanyu Island could not be concealed for much longer. He believed that in the near future, this news would completely explode the entire international world. By then, the international pressure that Jiang Cheng and Emerald Island would have to bear would inevitably increase dramatically.
Therefore, he must be adequately prepared for the arrival of this day.
