Chapter 549: The Rooster Lays an Egg

For a long time, it can be said that the problem of the South China Sea has attracted the attention of the whole world, and there is no way, there is a huge super island that can be compared to Hainan Island, and if you count the inland sea within the encirclement of this island, it is even larger than Hainan Island.

So there are a lot of problems on the entire island, not to mention anything else, just the construction of the entire island, and some underground karst caves, and Zhao Chen directly told the above about the underground karst caves.

And after exploring the entire underground karst cave, the above was also stunned by such a natural karst cave, to be honest, the terrain structure of the entire island, etc., in fact, after the exploration, for the country, a little disappointed.

Mainly, the foundation of the entire island is almost all granite, although this granite is a little different, for example, the radiation contained in this granite is much smaller than many natural granite, almost negligible, but this is not useful.

The main thing is that granite is not of much use except for the use of some construction and other aspects, and generally speaking, such an island has some minerals.

For example, Hainan Island and Taiwan have all kinds of minerals on these islands.

But this new island doesn't, oh yes, and it's officially named Spratly Island because it used to be the sea near the Spratly Islands.

There are no such minerals on Nansha Island, and it cannot be said that there are none, at least there are manganese nodules, but manganese nodules are found in the depths of the oceans all over the world, which are formed by a wide range of cosmic dust after precipitating the seabed, so this thing is not a specialty here.

This is not a mineral that belongs to the Earth's interior in itself.

In other words, if this island is not considered to be something other than these manganese nodules on the surface, there are basically no minerals, and the only good news is that it is still soiled, although the thickness of the soil is only 30 meters, but the basic conventional buildings, plants, etc., this 30 meters thick soil is enough to grow.

Although the manganese nodules are being cleaned up on a large scale, even after the cleanup, the thickness of the soil is at least 20 meters or more, and there is a freshwater river on the island, which is almost all the conditions for life on the entire island.

The most important thing is that during the period of Zhao Chen's disappearance, all the seeds that Zhao Chen directly used a large plane to sprinkle on the entire island took root and sprouted, not counting the rooting and germination, the growth rate of these plants far exceeded what people in China thought.

At least beyond the imagination of some biological experts, the plants themselves are growing too fast, although it is only a little more than a month now, and some of the plants on the island are even about the height of human knees.

From the inside of space, the entire island that was originally pitch black, without any breath of life, is now covered in green. I have to say that although there are more plants now, there are still troubles, which is not conducive to the mining of minerals and so on.

But I don't care about it in China, a considerable part of these manganese nodules have been mined, and it doesn't matter if the rest can't be mined, anyway, as long as this thing is on its own land, it will be its own in the future, and it's a big deal to wait for the future to build, and slowly collect it again.

It's very simple, whether it's planting on it in the future, or planning again, it's always time to reorganize the field, and then it's time to buy these manganese nodules again.

Originally, if some plants grow on an island, especially on an island in the middle of the ocean, it is easy to cause an imbalance of species and cause great damage to the environment.

Such examples have not only been once or twice in the world, such as crayfish in the United States, carp in Asia, rabbits in Australia, kangaroos, etc., which have long since begun to flood, and humans cannot stop them, and it is terrible for plants to have no natural predators.

For example, plants such as water hyacinth and Eupatorium purpurea, which are rampant in some parts of China, are all alien species, and as a result, they have begun to flood wildly in the local area, and it is not easy to control them.

Oh, and the recent emergence of Danish oysters and more.

But the plant seeds on this island are the proportion of Zhao Chen's mixture, so at present, because the time is too short, there are no plants flooded, but these plants are common tropical plants, and now there are all kinds of biologists from China on the island.

Even not only domestic, judging from the news sent to Zhao Chen by the state, biology professors from various prestigious universities in at least 30 countries around the world have applied to be able to conduct research on China's newly established Nansha Island.

There is no way, this topic is too tempting, it is a completely independent island, and this island is completely new to the current situation, and the throwing of these seeds has actually caused an uproar in the circle of biologists around the world.

Many biologists say that China has started to build ecosystems in such a hasty manner, especially if it is built in such a crude way, and that it will destroy the ecological environment of this island, but the Chinese government has already done it, what can you do? Anyway, these things are Chinese.

But now that it's been done, the next research on the creation of an island ecosystem from scratch is something that no one wants to miss.

But unfortunately, it is impossible for China to agree to such an application for a while, not to mention anything else,, who knows if any of you in the team are biologists? There must be people with ulterior motives who will follow in.

At present, more than half of the fleet of the Chinese Navy is cruising near this island, which is to prevent any ships of other countries from illegally landing on it, and there are basically early warning planes patrolling the sky every day, and the military's engineering units are directly building an airstrip on the island.

And in the interior of the island's inland sea, the largest excellent port, an improvised military dock has already been built, and some construction groups from the country are building these docks at a terrifying pace.

Most of the building materials need to be shipped directly, such as steel and cement, but some things can be used directly on site.

For example, the masonry of the wharf does not use red bricks or concrete, and in some places it is built directly with concrete and granite.

The most granite on this island is completely inexhaustible, such a large granite mountain, unless you flatten the whole mountain, but if you want to level this mountain, it is probably impossible.

Therefore, some infrastructure construction such as the seaside can be directly constructed with granite and cement reinforced concrete.

The construction speed of the entire wharf is absolutely amazing, and the speed of Chinese construction is famous all over the world, let alone in such a state of national construction.

In just two months, two wharves that can accommodate more than 100,000 tons of giant ships have been directly built.

There are no warehouses on the docks, but there are slipways for ships to dock. I have to say that what plays a huge role in this is the multi-functional construction machine that Zhao Chen has created, which is the predecessor of the weapon similar to the mecha being developed by the country, the multi-functional construction machinery.

Extremely flexible, able to change all kinds of large tools at will, and with a strong transport capacity, such a machine can be used in such a building.

Especially for the transportation of some large granite blocks, this thing mechanical claw is such a large piece with a grasp, two of them can easily pick up two or three tons of granite blocks, and the speed of this construction is not too fast.

As long as the dock where the ship is berthed is established, the speed of domestic transportation makes everyone in the world afraid, and in such a short time, there are more than 80,000 Chinese working on this island, which is purely the construction workers of major construction companies!

This is not a soldier, in addition, there are more than 100,000 military divisions on the island in some camps temporarily established in all directions of the island to prevent people from some countries in Southeast Asia from sneaking on the island, in fact, it is difficult for these people to log in, and now with Zhao Chen's help, there is still no problem at all in detecting these ordinary civilian ships.

During this time, there are not 1000 people who want to land on the island, but also 800, it's crazy, how many of these people are just ordinary people, and how many have ulterior motives, I don't know.

Anyway, the ships of the Navy are here for a real ocean drill during this time, and it is estimated that there has never been such a big movement in the past.

It can be said that this time the country is really painful and happy, happiness is naturally inexplicable, there are so many more land for no reason, this is only one aspect, on the other hand, this land is actually the weakest domestic control of the South China Sea, with this land, the South China Sea will be solid in the future.

This also means that China's influence on Southeast Asian countries will rise sharply in the future, and I don't see that many countries in Southeast Asia have been frequently courting their goodwill? Isn't this nonsense? Damn, two or three hundred kilometers away are other people's islands, and countries that were not next to each other at all, such as Malaysia and Indonesia, are now only two or three hundred kilometers away from China's territory.

If that's all it takes, when China's land is tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, not to mention the deployment of hundreds of thousands of troops, even one million is not a problem at all, and not only the army, originally China's ballistic missiles can cover the territory of their country.

But now, even conventional missiles can be easily launched directly from land on your territory, so how can you play with that? Their national strength is not like that of the United States, and the strength of the two sides is too far apart from Russia.

The most important thing is that the appearance of the Chinese island is as if it is a direct blockade of the Strait of Malacca.

A considerable part of the economic resources of these countries are related to the Strait of Malacca.
