Chapter 554: Build an Island!
What island to build, Henry knew in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are two main reasons why Dubai's "World Island" has become one of the world's seven unfinished buildings: one is affected by the 2008 financial crisis, the developer cannot afford to build it, and has to run aground;
If the Williams Empire were to build an island, it would not have been stranded by the financial crisis. On the contrary, Henry will also take advantage of the financial crisis to make money, therefore, money is not an issue. The second problem that needs to be solved now is the problem of rising sea levels due to global warming!
A week later, Smith successfully acquired Demi and Poscaris, and then reorganized the two companies to form a new company called "Ocean Miracle Company", which is a subsidiary of Global Land, and the main task in the future is to build islands and build underwater worlds!
By this time, Henry had already designed the island he was going to build.
"Your Majesty, this is Ivan Motley, the CEO of Ocean Miracles!" Smith brought a middle-aged man to meet Henry and introduced, "Ivan Motley is one of the best people in the field of island building!"
Although Ivan Motley was awesome, he didn't dare to put on a show in front of Henry, and said to Henry in a very respectful tone: "Your Majesty, hello, it's an honor to meet you!"
Henry nodded, "Please be seated!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Smith and Ivan Motley sat down on a sharkskin couch in front of Henry.
"Ivan Motley, this is my plan to build an island, see if it works!" Willett handed a document to Ivan Motley.
Ivan Motley nodded at Henry, then reached for the papers.
Just after reading the beginning, Ivan Motley couldn't help but change his expression!
"Your Majesty, you are also going to build a 'World Island'?!!" Ivan Motley asked in astonishment.
"That's right!" said Henry, smiling, "but the island I built is different from Dubai World Island, as you can see!"
Ivan Motley nodded and continued to browse through the papers. However, looking at it, he showed a look of shock from time to time. After ten minutes or so, Ivan Motley couldn't help but take a deep breath and put down the papers.
Dubai World Island is made up of more than 300 islands of all sizes in the shape of the earth, and the world island designed by Henry is to build seven continents!
Hiss!!!
This is an island, it is simply a continent!
Ivan Motley couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, there are a total of 300 islands on Dubai World Island, each of which ranges in size from 23,000 square meters to 83,600 square meters, and the adjacent islands are separated by at least 50 meters of sea space. But compared with the world island you designed, it is a drop in the bucket! I roughly calculated that the total island area of Dubai World Island is 14 million square meters, while the total island area of the world island you designed has reached 60 million square meters, that is, 60,000 square kilometers! You know, the area of Madagascar is less than 600,000 square kilometers, but your island-building plan has increased the land area by one-tenth at once!! and ......" Ivan Mottley paused for a moment and said quite excitedly. And you've taken into account the global warming effect, so you've built a circular on the periphery of the World Island so that the World Island won't be flooded by rising sea levels!"
Henry shook his head and said, "It's not a levee, it's also the focus of this project, and I want to make it a new continent in the shape of a circle as much as possible!!"
Ivan Motley couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this.
Henry smiled faintly and retorted, "Why, can't you make it?"
Ivan Motley was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "It can be built, in fact, it is easier to build than the World Island in Dubai! There are too many islands in Dubai, and it is not easy to build." On the contrary, it is much easier to build seven continents and a circular continent! However, the biggest difficulty is that it takes a lot of stones and sand to build the island! But fortunately, for the current Williams Empire, it is not too much of a problem......
Ivan Motley thought for a moment and said: "At present, the whole country of the Williams Empire is building a large number of buildings, and there are countless earth and stones, which can be used to build islands and waste use. For example, Diego, I just saw a lot of construction trucks carrying dirt out of the city on the way here...... In addition, we can also bring in a large number of dredgers, such as cutter suction dredgers, rake suction dredge!!rs!
"That's right, you're right! In fact, because the Williams Empire is in the stage of large-scale construction, it provides unparalleled conditions for the construction of Diego World Island!" Henry nodded, with a faint smile in his eyes. As I said before, from the map, Diego Bay looks like a walnut, and Diego World Island is located in Diego Bay, with continents on all sides, and the distance is not very far, whether it is from Diego to obtain the materials for island building, it is relatively easy to obtain materials from other places. This is an innate advantage, if the Diego World Island is really to be built successfully, not only Diego will become a deep-water port, but even the port cities near Diego World Island will become a deep-water port. In this way, it will greatly promote the development of trade, and perhaps one day, Diego Bay will become the busiest port trade center in the world!
Diego World Island is actually only the first step, Henry will later build islands in the direction of the Indian Ocean and Antarctica, and at this time, he is also facing the problem of island building materials. The deepest dredgers can only dig a few tens of meters, and if you want to build an island in the sea, you usually need to get materials from the reef island, however, the number of reef islands is limited, so it is very difficult to build a large island. It was often time-consuming and laborious to obtain materials from far away, but Henry had already come up with a crazy solution.
As everyone knows, there are volcanoes on the bottom of the sea, and every time a volcano erupts, it will eject a lot of magma, and some even form a small island! According to this situation, Henry's idea is to artificially create a volcanic eruption! However, it is not realistic to want a volcano to erupt to form a large island, and it is too unsafe to live on such an island formed by a volcano. But it is enough to create a man-made volcanic eruption to create an island that can be dug by dredgers. Dredgers are fast, and in less than an hour, a huge football field can be dug up, and if you send more dredgers, it won't take long for an island and reef to be dug up, and then a volcano will be detonated, and the cycle repeats.
In this way, not only will the island-building materials be sufficient, but also the distance will be close, so the speed of island-building will be very fast, and in three to five years, it may be a new continent......
