Next chapter

However, after thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Chen couldn't figure out what this "just in case" meant.

Was it to leave a spark for the Third Reich, or something else?

Moreover, this fortress is only a blueprint, and it is unknown whether the Führer sent people to Antarctica and built the Doomsday Fortress according to the orders of the Void Remnant. And judging by the location on this map, the fortress seems to have been lost in a blizzard all year round. Whether or not they can survive in such a place is also an open question.

Do you want to go to Antarctica?

This idea suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's mind, and it swelled uncontrollably.

The refuge does not control the course of the war, and at best provides a grave for the losers to survive. No matter how you think about it, there is no point in doing so. However, the remnants of the void don't insert a useless piece of information into this message for no reason, and they must have a reason for doing so......

But what could it be?

……

The next day, Jiang Chen, who had already had a good time in Penglai City, returned to Koro Island with Aisha and Xia Shiyu.

Because of her work, Natasha got on a plane the day before the charity gala and went back to Moscow. So on this return flight, there were only Jiang Chen and the three of them.

Back on the island, the first thing Xia Shiyu did was to go home to put her luggage, and the second thing was to go to the Future People Building. I haven't walked through the office door for a week, and the accumulated work must be as high as a hill. Although her assistant can help her deal with some of the documents, many issues related to the direction of the group's business must be decided by her backbone.

Jiang Chen returned to the villa with Aisha, and after a short rest, he also began to get busy.

On the one hand, he is preparing for a trip to Antarctica. On the other hand, he has recently been planning to build an undersea road tunnel that will connect the nine islands of Panu into a single unit. In this way, people do not need to take a car or boat at the same time, and can go to any corner of the new country directly by car.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, which is an eternal truth. If there is an undersea tunnel that connects the nine islands of the Panu archipelago into a single whole, it will have a huge effect on the economy of the whole country.

Among other things, once this tunnel is completed, the demand for cars in the new country will definitely have to rise by a notch.

That being said, building the tunnel on this day was no easy task.

There are many methods for building undersea tunnels, and there are four main representative methods, such as the drilling and blasting method in Qingdao, Xiamen, etc., the immersed tube method in Xiangjiang, the roadheader method in the English Channel, and the shield method in Japan.

However, all four approaches have one thing in common.

That's expensive! Not ordinary!

Taking Huaguo as an example, the Dalian-Yantai high-speed railway undersea tunnel under construction is 1 kilometer, and the project cost is as high as 260 billion yuan, with an average cost of more than 2 billion yuan per kilometer! Even if the cost of 129 million yuan per kilometer of high-speed rail is removed, just building such a pipeline is still a terrifying number!

And this budget is only a conservative estimate!

If you want to connect all the nine islands of Panu, it is not as simple as 1 kilometer. The southernmost island of Anga is more than 150 kilometers away from Koro Island in a straight line, which is equivalent to the distance from Wanghai to Hangzhou.

It is conservatively estimated that if the undersea tunnel is to be built, which will connect all the nine islands of Panu, the underwater part of the highway will need to be at least 300 kilometers. If this project is contracted to a Chinese builder, the entire project will cost Jiang Chen $60 billion, to say the least.

$60 billion, good guy, this money is enough to build two more Penglai cities! Even if the Future People Group has money, it obviously can't be spent in this way.

However, fortunately, in the fields of graphene technology, semiconductor graphene and high-strength nanomaterials, it can be said that there is no scientific research institution in the whole world that is the opponent of the materials science laboratory of the Future People Group.

Among them, the graphene board applied to the Future Man Building is a breakthrough to reduce the cost of submarine tunnel construction. If a material that is tougher than steel can be used as the outer wall of the undersea tunnel, the whole project will undoubtedly progress much easier.

At the beginning of April, in the form of a public tender, the company selected a partner from hundreds of construction companies around the world, Victoria Construction Company, which is registered in Hong Kong. The construction company has designed and constructed two submarine roads for Heung Kong, and has a deep knowledge of immersed tube construction technology.

Considering that the immersed tube method is more suitable for the performance of graphene materials, Jiang Chen finally chose this company as a partner.

After the bidding was successful, Victoria Construction Company immediately sent Wu Weiye, an engineer from the undersea tunnel, to Xinguo to contact with Future People Heavy Industry to discuss the construction plan of the undersea tunnel using graphene materials.

After getting off the plane on Koro Island, Jiang Chen immediately invited him to the high-tech industrial park on Anga Island.

In the center of the wide factory building is a semi-cylindrical archway about 12 meters wide and 5 meters high. The four walls of the arch are transparent, but the luster of glass is not visible on the surface.

took Wu Weiye to the side of this transparent archway, Jiang Chen took the hammer from the staff and slammed it on it.

Only a muffled sound was heard, and the sound continued to echo in the closed archway. Wu Weiye looked at Jiang Chen's position and his eyes widened in shock.

"That's our sample. Jiang Chen smiled and threw the hammer on the staff's hand, clapped his hands and looked at Wu Weiye, "The outer wall of the tunnel made of graphene material is ten times stronger than molybdenum nickel steel, and the longitudinal ductility is stronger than all metal materials...... Of course, soaking in the sea shouldn't have that much chance of catching fire. ”

"Car accidents can happen inside tunnels, and car accidents can cause fires, even at the bottom of the sea. While stroking the outer wall of the graphene archway, Wu Weiye muttered to himself, "But we can coat the inner wall with flame retardant, this is a good solution......

After a pause, Wu Weiye withdrew his hand, looked back at Jiang Chen, and asked seriously.

"How much does this graphene material cost?"

"For this archway, it's about 700 dollars a meter. ”

$700 per meter, $700,000 per kilometer, and this cost is simply cheaper than steel! If such a large amount of money can be saved in materials, the construction cost of the entire project will undoubtedly be cut several times!

Thinking of this, Wu Weiye's gaze at Jiang Chen suddenly became hot.

If this kind of high-strength, low-cost building materials can be obtained, Victoria will undoubtedly gain strong market competitiveness in the global undersea tunnel construction market.

Not to mention the quality of the project, the cost alone is enough to kill countless competitors.

Victoria Construction Company must establish a long-term strategic partnership with Future People's Heavy Industries!

Wu Weiye has secretly made up his mind, and when today's trip is over, he will make a phone call with the boss when he returns to the hotel where he stays, and be sure to explain the benefits and disadvantages clearly. If this business is successful, this is a great achievement, promotion and wealth is not a dream!

That fiery gaze made Jiang Chen shudder suddenly, and he involuntarily distanced himself from this guy.

Hold the grass, this guy shouldn't be good at that......-

(I caught a cold as soon as I got home, I took my temperature yesterday, 38.1 degrees, and I slept after taking the medicine, and my head was dizzy.) There are two chapters out of the code, and I can't get out of it...... The promised outbreak can only be postponed for one day, I'm sorry, I tried my best t.t) (to be continued.) )
