Next chapter

The footage of the completion of Penglai City was filmed as a video, which went viral on major video sites such as Trick Tube. 》。 The initial reaction was to suspect that it was a special effect from the film, and it wasn't until other onlookers uploaded videos of themselves that they were filmed.

It's not a movie, it's real

At the beginning, how many bricks called the beast threatened that this thing could not be built at all, and even if it was built, it would not float on the sea, and if it was 10,000 steps back, it would float to the sea, and a few waves would have to be torn apart. Even the day before the completion ceremony of Penglai City, a certain half-hung professor of ship science stood up to brush up on the zài feeling.

"I'll tell you, it's impossible for this thing to float, how did we build an island, although this is knowledge in the field of architecture, but as a professor, I still know a little about it. Generally speaking, we have to enclose the sea first, then blow sand and fill the reef, build an island directly on the bottom of the sea, and then float up to the bottom of the sea, nonsense is boundless, I bet that if this island does not sink, I will eat a pound of Xiang"

However, the next day, Penglai City successfully floated, and I don't know how many bricks called the beast's face was swollen.

When everyone pulled the professor out and asked him when he was going to eat, he suddenly stopped talking.

Breakthroughs in materials science will bring about a series of chain reactions, which will be disruptive for the construction and manufacturing industries. Tidal forces, which ordinary steel cannot withstand, are not difficult in the face of graphene materials, which are more tough.

At the same time, the advantage of using graphene instead of metal materials as a stable structure is that there is no need to worry about seawater corrosion. As long as you don't sail on the Pacific Rim volcanic belt, and you just happen to encounter an underwater volcanic eruption, you don't have to worry about the graphene cable breaking.

With the completion of Penglai City, the flow of people on Koro Island suddenly surged several times. Many hotels and rental houses were so full that some people simply bought tents and erected bunks on the side of the road, and the new parliament had to urgently discuss the city management bill to regulate the phenomenon of shacks on the ground to curb the phenomenon.

At present, flights between Penglai City and Keluo City have been established, and a separate line has been set up next to the passenger port to provide pick-up and drop-off services for tourists who land on the island and leave the island. At the same time, the island itself has a yacht garage and berths on the edge where visitors can dock their own yachts, sailboats, and cruise ships.

However, these channels are temporarily closed. As for the reason, it is naturally because the cleaning work has not yet been completed.

But although the Future People Group has explained the reason, people's curiosity and enthusiasm for Penglai City still make a crowd of black people gather in front of the passenger port.

"Let me go up, I bought a house on it, why don't you let me go up" A man in a designer suit, who looked like a local tyrant, sprayed and foamed at the star, asking why he couldn't land on the island yet.

"Sir, please be patient and wait for Penglai City to open as the final seaweed cleanup and desalination work is underway. Compared with a semi-finished product, we hope to show the most beautiful Penglai City in front of your eyes. The front desk lady explained to the visitor with a smile on her face, and she had repeated the words countless times.

Whether or not that rhetoric satisfies the impatient tourists, the Future People Group says nothing will let anyone in until the month-long clean-up is complete. In addition to the cleaning work, there will also be a safety check.

For example, where is there a water leak, whether the power device is in, whether there is a crack in the seaweed, graphene cable, and whether there are cracks, these are all major matters related to the safety of more than one million people, and there is no room for sloppiness. If everyone else comes up and sinks, then it's completely out of the game.

According to the statistics given by Xia Shiyu, in order to build this Penglai City, the Future People Group spent a total of 31.7 billion US dollars, which is almost equivalent to the total amount of funds invested in overseas real estate by Huaguo's "real estate speculation group" in 15 years

It can be seen from this that this century project occupies how much liquidity of the Future People Group. If this Penglai City is not built well, maybe Jiang Chen can really only ask Rothschild Bank for help, or a listed subsidiary to relieve the financial pressure.

Corresponding to the high investment and high risk, the return on investment brought by the completion of Penglai City is also quite amazing.

As early as the end of last year, Wall Street analysts estimated the value of Penglai City, and the final valuation was a terrifying $400 billion

Obediently, what is the concept of $400 billion

However, Warren Buffett, a world-famous investor known as the god of stocks, said directly.

"I can't estimate the market value of Penglai, just like I can't make a price for Los Angeles or Chicago because that's not something money can measure. It is a city, and as long as it has always existed, it will continue to create value. Compared with Penglai City, I would prefer to value the creator of this wonder, Future People's Heavy Industry. If this spectacle can be replicated, there is no doubt that it will be the most profitable company of the century. Jiang Chen has always refused to go public, which is probably the biggest regret of this century. ”

As if he felt that his statement was not impactful enough, Buffett paused and added a sentence in front of the media camera.

"That's right, I mean, even more money than the Fed money printers. ”

Just when everyone couldn't wait to go to Penglai City to find out, except for the staff of the Future People Group, only Jiang Chen and others tasted it.

However, as the Future People Group explained to the public, there is nothing to see in Penglai City at this time.

The smell of the sea was everywhere in the streets, and there were clumps of salt everywhere on the walls of the pavement. These salts are not simple sodium chloride, but also contain ionomies of potassium, magnesium, calcium and other elements. As soon as the sun broke, these things crystallized out of the sea.

In order to flush away these unsightly residues, Jiang Chen transferred a desalination platform with a daily processing capacity of 4 million tons from Future People's Heavy Industries, and deployed two current generator sets on the seabed to supply power to the desalination platform.

Now, a full ten days have passed since the island floated. During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Chen planned to go back to the end of the world, and the expeditionary force seemed to have encountered some situation on Yizhou Island, so he planned to go there in person. After all, it's about the space elevator, and the trade route that NA goes south.

This can be as little as a few days or as long as two months. If he didn't take advantage of this time to go to the island and wait until Penglai City opened to the public in March, he wouldn't be the first person to eat crabs.

In this way, Jiang Chen took Aisha, Xia Shiyu, and Natasha, who had the cheekiness to follow, and the four of them boarded the island by helicopter and landed on the square in front of the central building in the center of Penglai.

"I think if you dry these things into salted fish, it will definitely be a lot of income. Standing at the door of the Central Building, Jiang Chen looked at the dead fish lying on the steps, and sighed helplessly.

I don't know when these salted fish will be cleaned up.

"I heard that the World Environmental Protection Organization is preparing to trouble you," Natasha teased, standing next to Jiang Chen.

"Since the blue seagull, our troubles have not stopped. It can only be said that they inadvertently brought the rhythm of the wave, and now those defenders of Mother Earth have their eyes on us. But will I care" Jiang Chen said with a smile, kicking the salted fish aside.

"It's the same as this salted fish. "To be continued.
