Chapter 243: Scarborough Shoal Land-Building

Li Yuefeng originally worked in the Ministry of Construction, but he was not particularly clear about his sudden transfer to a state-owned enterprise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yuefeng is 41 years old this year, with a department level, he was born in the countryside, he is down-to-earth, flexible in means, and can get to where he is today, completely relying on his own efforts. In the eyes of others, Li Yuefeng has a bright future, and with his age, it is possible to become a ministerial-level and national-level leader in the future. But Li Yuefeng himself knows that his career has now fallen into a bottleneck, even if he seeks to be released, it is extremely difficult to cross the line of the department level and the deputy department, especially since he has no family background and no backer, unless God sends a perfect opportunity.

Because of these considerations, Li Yuefeng did not reject leaving the Ministry of Construction.

Before taking office, Li Yuefeng had a special understanding of this company and found that it seemed to be an opportunity sent by God. Li Yuefeng checked that the South China Sea Development Company was established at the beginning of this year with a registered capital of 300 million yuan and a legal person of Luyang. A few months later, the company's shareholding changed, with only 30% of Lu Yang's shares and 70% owned by the state, that is, the company went from a private company to a state-owned company.

What surprised Li Yuefeng the most was that this company was engaged in the development of resources in the South China Sea, including the Zhongsha Islands! Li Yuefeng is more familiar with the situation in the South China Sea, and he is not surprised by the development of the Xisha Islands, because China has been developing them for many years, but the Zhongsha Islands are still a minefield because they involve international disputes. However, the South China Sea Development Corporation has shown with practical actions that it will soon build land and develop the Zhongsha Islands......

"This is no ordinary company!" Li Yuefeng excitedly thought, can the company that can build land in the Zhongsha Islands be ordinary?

For his direct boss Lu Yang, Li Yuefeng also has some ideas. He was very dissatisfied that the chairman of the company was not him, but a hairy boy in his twenties. After 20 years in the unit, Li Yuefeng is very aware of the difference between the power of the first and second leaders, and naturally brings this psychology to the enterprise. Especially knowing that the state accounts for 70% of the shares, Li Yuefeng's dissatisfaction is even more serious.

Li Yuefeng, who has been in officialdom for 20 years, will certainly not show this kind of thought, after seeing Lu Yang, Li Yuefeng very decently showed the demeanor of an elder and a subordinate, and his words and demeanor made Lu Yang feel very comfortable.

"This is a very good person, and his ability should be good." This is Lu Yang's first impression of him.

Li Yuefeng's ability is really good, and in the past six months, he has basically dealt with the South China Sea Development Company. Although the South China Sea Development Corporation is a state-owned company, it is inevitable to deal with government departments because of the complexity of the business involved, and this is Li Yuefeng's advantage.

"Lu Dong, Senior Colonel Xu, this is our extruded material manufacturing plant, according to the current production rate, it can produce and supply 200 ordinary kilometers of materials per month." Li Yuefeng has been in the island province during this time, and he is more familiar with the situation here.

Lu Yang rarely came here, except when it was first when it came to technical issues.

Xu Feng carefully visited all aspects of the factory, and from time to time he recorded something.

"Factories must be careful in terms of sewage discharge, sewage, exhaust gas and other garbage must be handled carefully, and must not cause pollution!" Lu Yang said to Li Yuefeng very seriously, this problem, he emphasized more than once. Although it was difficult for Li Yuefeng to understand Lu Yang's environmental protection intentions, he was a good executor and fully implemented Lu Yang's instructions.

"Are the first workers in place?" Coming out of the factory, Lu Yang asked Li Yuefeng.

Li Yuefeng nodded: "You can start at any time." ”

"What about ships?"

"We have purchased three large supply ships, which are fully capable of guaranteeing the daily life of 200 people. The technical ship customized with the Shencheng shipyard has also been put in place, and the second is expected to be launched early next year. Li Yuefeng replied like a stream.

In addition to safety, the biggest problem in land building in the Zhongsha Islands is supply. Scarborough Shoal is more than 1,000 kilometers from Yangcheng, nearly 900 kilometers from Island Province and only 230 kilometers from the Philippines. It is obviously unrealistic to expect supplies from the Philippines, and in the end they can only be supplied from the island provinces.

On land, a distance of 900 kilometers is nothing, and it will only take a few hours by train and an hour by plane. But at sea, this distance is fatal. Even the latest supply ships take 16 or 7 hours to get from Island Province to Scarborough Shoal, and if anything really happens, even if the navy wants to support it, it will be too late.

If it weren't for that, how could Lu Yang's application for an open gun pass so smoothly.

"Lao Li, you did a good job, you straightened things out so quickly." Lu Yang praised Li Yuefeng according to his accustomed title, but Li Yuefeng was very unaccustomed to it.

Lu Yang estimated that one launch ship can build 100 square kilometers of land in three months, and by next year, two more launch ships will be delivered, and by then, Lu Yang will be able to create 1,200 square kilometers of land in Zhongsha Islands in a year.

This speed is nothing, Lu Yang knows that the country has customized five launch ships at one time, and there will be seven more deliveries next year, as long as the materials and sea original bacteria can keep up, the country's land creation speed in the Xisha Islands will be 4 times that of Lu Yang, and most of Shencheng can be built in a year!

"Once the state apparatus is in operation, it is really terrifying." Lu Yang sighed in his heart.

Before the end of 2010, Lu Yang's engineering team rushed to Scarborough Shoal in the Zhongsha Islands, where 150 workers were in full swing. Land reclamation is not only land reclamation, but also includes the construction of other facilities on land, and the first thing to be built is naturally the port.

Scarborough Shoal is the only reef with an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers and is huge, reaching 139 square kilometers, more than any single reef in the South China Sea. What Luyang values most is that the shallow water area of Huangyan Island is very large, with an area of about 1 meter deep reaching more than 500 square kilometers. For Lu Yang, this is simply a natural land-making place.

The progress of land reclamation in the shallow water area has been faster than Lu Yang expected, and in just one month, the first phase of the project has been completed in an area of 50 square kilometers. At the same time, the transformation of the original reef of Scarborough Shoal has also begun. In the area where the original water outcrop was higher, the engineering team carried out preliminary renovations, building simple piers and living quarters.

In this way, the engineering team of the South China Sea Development Corporation can be regarded as taking root on the island.

Lu Yang took a seaplane to Huangyan Island to investigate, this place is indeed an excellent place for land formation, in terms of location and geological conditions, it is very promising. Scarborough Shoal is an atoll, an oval reef and coral reef that surrounds a huge lagoon with an area of 95 square kilometers, and the water in the lagoon is not deep, between 10 and 20 meters. Because of its own conditions, this lagoon became the choice for the first phase of land reclamation.

"Lao Ma, how is the current progress of the project? Did you encounter any problems? Lu Yang briefly checked the construction situation, and then asked the middle-aged man next to him.

The middle-aged man's name is Ma Cunbin, the chief engineer of the Scarborough Shoal land-making project, and he has been engaged in land-building projects in the Xisha Islands before coming here. There are few people who are more familiar with land building in the South China Sea than him.

"It's going very well, it's incredible!" Ma Cunbin seemed to be a believer meeting a god, his eyes were full of fanaticism, "Lu Dong, it's really unimaginable, it's only been a month, and half of the lagoon has become a solid land!" According to this progress, before the Spring Festival, the entire lagoon land-making project can be completed, and by that time, the original C-shaped Huangyan Island will become an oval island with an area of 230 square kilometers, which can already rank sixth among the islands in China! ”

Lu Yang smiled and nodded: "Old Ma, don't get excited yet, where is this?" According to our final plan, in 15 to 20 years, it will become an island with an area of 15,000 square kilometers, and it will become an engineering miracle of mankind in the new century! ”

When Ma Cunbin heard this, he couldn't suppress his excitement, the ocean created 15,000 square kilometers of land, this kind of thing has never happened. Needless to say, as the chief engineer of this project, he Ma Cunbin will go down in history with this island.

The two chatted a few more words, and Lu Yang personally tested the quality of the project.

"The release of Haiyuan mushrooms is a technical job, and it must not be sloppy. These materials can only become indestructible if they are catalyzed by the seawood fungus, so this work is about the future of the entire island. Lu Yang saw the workers who were working and warned Ma Cunbin again.

"By the way, Lao Ma, you've been here for a month, are there any difficulties or needs us to do?" Lu Yang asked before leaving.

Ma Cunbin smiled: "What is this, it's only been a month." But there is also a problem, that is, the problem of materials. ”

"Go back and make a list of the materials you need, and then send it to me, and the workers can purchase whatever they need, and you don't need to save me money!"

The estimated investment in the first phase of the Huangyan Island land-making project is about 5 billion yuan, which is far lower than the previous expectation of 100 million yuan per square kilometer, which is really because the land-making conditions of the lagoon of Huangyan Island are too good, not to mention the shallow water, the wind and waves are also blocked by the island and reef, and the construction cost has been greatly reduced.

With so much money invested, Luyang of course also has to consider the issue of profitability, in the short term, it is more difficult to make a profit here, even if the first phase of the project is completed, with an area of more than 200 square kilometers, Huangyan Island will not be able to provide economic returns. Other conditions aside, the traffic here is really a big problem, except for those who have a strong interest in tourism, who will take a boat for more than ten hours to see a small island in the South China Sea?

If it's just tourism, can the cost be recovered in the Year of the Monkey?

"The most important thing is traffic!" Lu Yang has grasped the key to the development of Huangyan Island, if the transportation is convenient enough, coupled with the security provided by the Chinese Navy, I believe that many Chinese people will want to come to see the scenery of Huangyan Island.

The seaplane slid out one after another waves, took off slowly, and looking down, Lu Yang felt that the seaplane was definitely a good choice.

After Lu Yang left, Ma Cunbin resumed his work, he was originally a careful person, and he had to personally check everything in detail. He can't help but be cautious, because this new type of land building method is different from blowing sand to make land, using nano organic extruded materials to make land, just like using reinforced concrete to lay a foundation, if the foundation is not solid, the safety of the building will be a problem in the future.

This principle also applies to Scarborough Shoal, where the water is too low, and many areas have to be heightened to transform it into a place suitable for human habitation. In the stage of material solidification, the catalysis of the progenital bacteria is the key, and if the progenital bacteria are not put in place, the internal strength of the material may not meet expectations, and hidden dangers will be left in the future. This is also what Lu Yang is most worried about. (To be continued.) )
