A huge and familiar figure appeared on the sea, Ye Chen had seen it many times in the media, it was our man-made island. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Artificial islands, this is a term that has become famous all over the world in recent years. In the past few years, the Celestial Empire has been building islands in the South China Sea and has become the focus of global attention.

"Artificial islands." Ye Chen was so excited.

"Man-made island!" Everyone on the same plane screamed.

In the past few years, the Celestial Empire has built islands on a large scale in the South China Sea, which is a major event in the world and is known to everyone in the Celestial Empire. This is a very exciting thing, which means that the Celestial Empire is about to recover the islands of the South China Sea.

It's a pity that there was no chance to come to the man-made island. Now, the opportunity has come, and who can not be thrilled to finally see the man-made island with their own eyes, and to board the man-made island to see it?

Ye Chen was lying on the window, looking at the artificial island, his eyes widened.

The special plane was landing, getting closer and closer to the ground, Ye Chen looked at the ground rushing in front of him, and was very proud, this is the outpost of our country.

As soon as the special plane stopped, Ye Chen hurriedly opened his seat belt, stood up, and couldn't wait to step on the island and reef immediately.

There are many people who are as anxious as Ye Chen, who is not as good as the technical team?

Finally, standing on the gangway, Ye Chen looked out and saw that the long runway was very tidy. There are many buildings on the island, as well as trees and flowers, as well as vegetable gardens.

Take a breath, the air is hot, a little burning, and there is a smell of sea. However, Ye Chen felt that this was like a golden dew, which made him intoxicated, and he couldn't help but take a few sharp breaths, and then he was satisfied to get off the gangway.

There are many people like Ye Chen, and the members of the technical team are all like this.

They have been longing for man-made islands for a long time, and when they first come to the island, they must breathe the air on the island.

Ye Chen stepped on the ground and stomped hard, and there was a feeling of solidity coming from the soles of his feet, which made him feel a little more real.

If it weren't for this trip to the South China Sea for testing, I don't know when I would have had the opportunity to set foot on the artificial island.

"Xiao Ye, it's the first time you come to the South China Sea, I'll walk with you." Admiral Gan saw Ye Chen's excited appearance in his eyes and proposed.

"Chief, is this good? Don't you have military affairs? Ye Chen couldn't bear it.

Admiral Gan is the chief officer of the strategic forces, and he has more military affairs to deal with, and he specially accompanies Ye Chen for a walk, which is so rare. However, if he mishandled military affairs, Ye Chen felt that his sin would be great.

"Military affairs are not in a hurry, and they have been dealt with in advance. It's also rare for me to come out once, so it's good to take this opportunity to relax. Ye Chen was able to remind him that he had military affairs to deal with, which was very good, and General Gan gave Ye Chen an appreciative look.

As the chief officer of the strategic forces, Admiral Gan has a lot of military affairs to deal with, and it is rare to have a quiet time in a year. It's not bad to come out this time and take a break.

"Oh well. Thank you, Chief. Ye Chen said happily.

The first time I came to the island, I was not familiar with the situation, it would be great if someone accompanied me to explain, Ye Chen had no reason to refuse.

"I'm the host, I'll go with you." Admiral Luo looked at the island and reef for a while, and said with emotion: "I haven't been here for a while. ”

He was originally a fierce general in the South China Sea, but now that he has been promoted, it is not easy to come to the South China Sea once.

The two generals accompanied Ye Chen, what a big face, the team members were very envious, and they couldn't wait to exchange with Ye Chen. However, this was Ye Chen, and they couldn't compare, so they had to go in groups to watch the man-made island.

It's a rare opportunity, and if you miss this time, you don't know when you will have the opportunity to come again, so don't miss it.

Ye Chen, accompanied by Admiral Luo and Admiral Gan, the three of them walked around the island.

Ye Chen looked at the neat roads, rows of trees and flowers, full of greenery, and groups of buildings, and said with emotion: "I remember the first time I saw the photos of this island, at that time there were only runways and airports, and nothing else. Now, everything is there, and the construction speed is not ordinarily fast. This is the Celestial Empire speed! ”

Celestial speed?

Admiral Luo and Admiral Gan glanced at each other and nodded slightly, appreciating Ye Chen's comment.

"What was released was a photo of the infrastructure after it was completed. Now, more than a year later, the situation is definitely different. Admiral Luo explained to Ye Chen, "We didn't build an artificial island for face, let alone for people to see, but it was of great use. ”

Building artificial islands is not so easy, it requires a lot of money, and it also requires advanced technology. The reason why the country has put so much effort into building artificial islands is because of their great value.

"There are three steps to island building, and the first step is to build an island based on a reef jutting out of the sea." Admiral Luo continued: "In this regard, our country has the most advanced technology in the world. In the past, we also carried out land reclamation, but the technology at that time was too backward, and we had to transport soil from the mainland, which was very expensive and inefficient, and it was very uneconomical. ”

It is a traditional method to bring soil from the mainland to reclaim the island. Until now, this method has been used in the vast majority of island-building in the world.

This approach is low-tech, costly, and inefficient.

Especially for our country, it is almost impossible to create enough islands in the South China Sea in this way.

Because the South China Sea has more than 3 million square kilometers, most of which belongs to our country, if you want to actually control it, you need a lot of islands.

With so many islands and this method to build, the results can be imagined.

"Our country has a vast maritime territory, and it is very unrealistic to create enough islands in this way to meet our needs. Through the efforts of our country's scientific and technological personnel, we have the world's most advanced island-building technology, and we no longer need to transport soil from the mainland. This is not only hassle-free, less expensive, but also extremely efficient. Admiral Luo pointed to the man-made island and said, "It only took us a few years to achieve such great achievements, which was unimaginable in the past. ”

The amount of soil needed for a man-made island is staggering, and the inefficiency of transporting it from the mainland to the South China Sea is even more speechless. If the traditional method of island creation were adopted, it would not be possible to achieve such an astonishing achievement in just a few years, even ten years, or even longer.

"Before, there was only one reef here, but now, it's a big island." Admiral Luo gestured.

Ye Chen could see that the current island was dozens of times larger than the original reef. Moreover, in just a few years, our country not only turned this place into an island, but also planted flowers and grass, and built so many houses.

"The second stage is to carry out infrastructure construction." Admiral Luo continued.

"I remember that when we were building infrastructure, the Western world, led by the United States, accused us of being wrong and wrong." Ye Chen took over the conversation and sneered: "Japan is the most shameless in the matter of building an island, it is obviously just a few stones exposed to the sea, not even a reef, but Japan says that it is an island." Then, Japan created artificial islands and took them for themselves. What right does Japan have to accuse us? ”

"They have a double standard. Gods may do what cattle may not. Admiral Gan commented.

"Chief, you're too polite. In my opinion, this is typical of both selling meat and setting up a brand. Ye Chen pursed the corners of his mouth and said disdainfully.

"Xiao Ye, you're really welcome. I like it, though. Admiral Luo said with a smile.

Admiral Gan nodded in approval.

Is there any country in the Western world, led by the United States, that has not done this thing? Why can these Western countries do it, but our country can't? This is typical of Western hegemonic thinking.

Ye Chen's analogy is really pertinent. The United States and Japan are not only selling meat, but they are not allowed to say it, and they also have to set up a brand for themselves and whitewash themselves as sacred.

"When the infrastructure was built, our country tested it, and there was a trick that surprised the whole world, and that was to test it with civilian aircraft." Ye Chen was very approving: "This is a wise approach. ”

Admiral Luo and Admiral Gan were full of approval.

This hand is very wise, which can not only make the outside world less accusatory, but also measure whether the airport is good or not.

Because the take-off and landing requirements of civil aircraft are much higher than those of military aircraft, it is not a problem for military aircraft to take off and land civil aircraft.

Another advantage of this is that it can reduce the blame and unnecessary trouble.

Of course, no matter what we do, the Western countries, led by the United States, will always blame us, and this trick is useless for them. What is useful to these countries is the fist, who is not convinced, a punch will be smashed at you, depending on whether you accept it or not?

"The third step is to build living facilities." Admiral Luo pointed to the tall buildings in front of him and said, "Xiao Ye, you see, this is our living facilities, including housing, communication facilities, weather forecasts, as well as pig farms, vegetable farms, and so on. ”

If our country wants to recover the South China Sea, it needs some bases, and this requires islands. After the island is built, it is necessary to settle in the relevant personnel, which requires them to provide living facilities.

Food and shelter have become inevitable.

"And, of course, military facilities like hangars, right?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"If we talk about it to the outside world, we won't admit it, we will only say that it is to improve living conditions and serve the world." Admiral Gan said playfully: "But for Xiao Ye, we can say bluntly that it is necessary." ”

If there are no military facilities, what is there to talk about recovering the South China Sea? Doesn't the United States consider the South China Sea its backyard?

It has been half a month since the US aircraft carrier came to the South China Sea, and it will not leave, but it does not dare to enter our territorial waters. It is because the United States is afraid of our military facilities. Without these military facilities, US aircraft carriers would not be as they used to be, coming and leaving as they wanted to go.

Surely it won't be as immobile as it is now, maybe they have been going back and forth several times in the South China Sea.

"Xiao Ye, tonight, I will treat you with the pork raised by the soldiers on this island, the vegetables planted, and the purified water." Admiral Luo waved his right hand, very proud, and said, "The certificate impresses you." ”

"Okay." Ye Chen readily agreed.

"Xiao Ye, do you know what the scene was on this island during the 712 confrontation last year?" Admiral Gan asked again.
