Chapter 379: The Naval Problem
To say that Penglai Island can now be comparable to an international metropolis like Shencheng must be a fool's dream. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention that Penglai Island has just been established for a year, even if Lu Yang is given ten years, he has no confidence to surpass Shencheng. However, if there are twenty years, it is difficult to say. Compared with Penglai Island and Shencheng, the biggest gap is the heritage and time, and these can be made up by technology.
The promotional advertisements of Penglai Island are also not fake, and from the appearance, Penglai Island is indeed not inferior to Shencheng. The reason why such an effect can be achieved is actually a matter of shooting angle, not that Penglai Island has really caught up with Shencheng.
For example, in the promotional photos of Shencheng, you often see the high-rise buildings of the Oriental Pearl and Lujiazui, as well as the prosperity on both sides of the Huangpu River. These places do look very modern and bustling. But in reality, many parts of Shencheng are not so bright. Even in the center of the city, some of the older streets and houses are no different from many third-tier cities in China. Even if Shencheng is modernized in everyone's minds, it still has a lot of old scenery. And these places must not be seen in the promotional video of Shencheng.
Compared to Shencheng, Penglai Island does not have as much heritage, but it also gives it another advantage, that is, any buildings built are new. Moreover, Penglai Island was established in accordance with the planning map of Luyang, which has many factors such as rationality, modernity and beauty, and the advertisement must look good.
Penglai Island's advertisements are not only placed on the mainland, but also around the world, and the news that Penglai Island has attracted talent immigrants has also spread. As of the end of August, more than 27,000 people from the mainland had applied for naturalization, of which 40 percent were high-quality talents with graduate degrees. There are more than 5,000 immigration applications from other countries, 70% of which are from developing countries, with Africa and South America being the majority.
Penglai Island lacks people and needs to find people, which does not mean that Lu Yang is hungry and does not choose to eat. In terms of the criteria for naturalization, he still has a lot of requirements, which is a typical high threshold. However, once the requirements of Penglai Island are met, then the rest of the matter is simple.
Among these naturalization applications, there are also some wealthy people who intend to open the way with investment. The proportion of this part of the population is not small, both in China and abroad, and they probably value the tax policy of Penglai Island. But it's a pity that Luyang is not like some countries that will open the back door specifically for the rich.
Penglai Island's immigration policy is very simple, it is mainly based on skilled immigration, and the restrictions on investment immigration are relatively large, after all, Penglai Island will be dominated by the tertiary industry in the future. In terms of agriculture, limited to the area of Penglai Island, Luyang does not plan to introduce investment, and it is enough to have Penglai Agricultural Group. In the future, Yaochi District will be more strict in the review of land sales, with a maximum of 40% of the land being sold in order to ensure basic agricultural production.
Lu Yang is greatly pleased with the more than 32,000 naturalization applications, which shows that Penglai Island is getting more and more recognition. Once this group of people is naturalized, the number of residents of Penglai Island will be close to 50,000, and if you add the people who work on the island, the number of people on the whole island will reach 160,000, which is definitely a milestone achievement for Penglai Island.
For Lu Yang, 160,000 people is just the beginning, and with the size of Penglai Island, it will not be a problem to accommodate tens of millions of people in the future. Look at the population of Port City, a city of more than 1,000 square kilometers with more than 7 million permanent residents. Penglai Island is four times the size of the port city and can accommodate 10 million people, which is not unacceptable.
During this time, Lu Yang did not return to the mainland, but stayed on Penglai Island, because the first batch of warship Guardian-class destroyers on Penglai Island were about to be launched, and I have to say that Yuan Yi did a pretty good job.
The Guardian-class destroyer is designed according to high-speed ship technology, which is very different from the traditional ship structure, and is also the world's first high-speed destroyer. It is said that last year, Lu Yang traded high-speed ship technology to Huaxia Shipbuilding Corporation, and the other party was also researching this technology and produced Huaxia's high-speed warships. However, Lu Yang heard that their current focus is on using this technology in the first aircraft carrier built by Huaxia, and they have not invested much in other warships.
The Defender-class destroyers are said to be warships, but until now, they have not been equipped with weapons systems. However, it uses the world's most advanced multi-spectrum lidar technology, which is also the world's first 3D imaging radar applied to warships. The Guardian-class destroyer using this radar can conduct all-weather monitoring of the 200-nautical-mile sea area around Penglai Island, including the underwater part, which cannot escape the Guardian-class multi-spectrum laser imaging radar. If needed, Lu Yang can extend the monitoring range to 400 nautical miles, which is enough to ensure the safety of Penglai Island.
At the moment, this radar technology Lu Yang has not yet been disclosed, and even Yuan Yi does not know that there is such a thing on the crude destroyer in his hand. However, this secret will not be hidden for long, and when the first Guardian-class destroyer Donghua is put on trial, this technology will be displayed in front of the world.
At the same time as the destroyer was being built, Lu Yang was also selecting his first batch of navy. In the future, the Penglai Navy, with three Guardian-class destroyers as the core, will be known as the 33rd Detachment of the Huaxia Maritime Surveillance to the outside world, and will not be called the Navy. The previous president hoped that Lu Yang would accept the number of the First Fleet of the Chinese Pacific, but Lu Yang considered that this was too hateful, and finally refused, and put the fleet of Penglai Island into the maritime surveillance sequence.
"It's a matter of personnel again......" Thinking that the Donghua was about to make its maiden voyage, Lu Yang had a little headache. So far, Feng Hai has recruited a total of 230 retired naval soldiers on the mainland, and these people have all had experience in ships, and there is no problem in terms of skills. Moreover, in Penglai security lucrative treatment? Confused, these people have all been naturalized on Penglai Island, and more than 140 of them have brought their families to Penglai Island.
However, Lu Yang is still a little uneasy about the loyalty of these people, there are a lot of secret technologies on the Guardian-class destroyers, if there are really ill intentions among these people, these technologies will definitely be leaked out, and once they are leaked abroad, it will be bad.
Lu Yang and Feng Hai conducted the test in person through the EEG detector, and finally screened out 170 of the 230 people who had no problems, and they also found 18 undercover agents. As for the rest of the people, Lu Yang didn't dare to guarantee that there would be no problem.
"170 innocent naval soldiers can only cope with one destroyer, what about the rest of the destroyers?" Lu Yang rubbed his eyebrows and discussed with Feng Hai.
The technology of the Defender-class destroyer is much higher than that of ordinary destroyers, and in terms of performance, even the Burke-class destroyers of the United States are far inferior to it. Its hull design, weapon design, stealth design, damage management design, ship electrical design and protection design are all moving closer to the three-level technology. The intelligent system on the destroyer is also extremely dazzling, there is a small mythical supercomputer on board, and there is a subroutine of Pangu, which can reflect all threats on land, sea and air in real time. Because of the existence of intelligent systems, the Defender-class destroyer only needs 120 people to be able to operate perfectly.
"Boss, I think it's unlikely that you want to recruit nearly 400 loyal navy people in the short term. Let's just say that these retired soldiers of the Navy who later joined Penglai Island have no loyalty to Penglai Island and the group, and what they value is nothing more than high welfare. Except for those undercover agents, I think everyone else can use it, and loyalty can be cultivated, not innate. Feng Hai said.
"What you said also makes sense, but in two months, the three Guardian-class destroyers will be fully tested, and now we have more than 200 talents in our hands, and there is a big gap."
Feng Haidao: "There is no big problem with this, I heard that the East China Sea Fleet has recently decommissioned a group of navies, we can recruit them, there is a brain wave detector, and there is absolutely no problem in finding 160 innocent naval soldiers in two months!" ”
Lu Yang thought about it, and it seemed that there was only this way at the moment, so he nodded and said, "Then let's do what you said first." By the way, have you decided on the captain of the Donghua? ”
As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head, Lu Yang understands this truth very well, for the newly established navy of Penglai Island, the captains of the three capital ships are the biggest problem. If you don't choose the right person, the impact on Penglai Island will be devastating.
"There are two candidates on my side, one is Liu Qing, 36 years old, who also retired from the South China Sea Fleet in 2014, and was already a lieutenant colonel before retiring and was also the captain of a destroyer......" (To be continued.) )
