Chapter 945: You Yourself Are the Dragon King

None of the delegates attending the meeting had such a good treatment as Shan Liangkun, and Liu Shiqing could personally explain their doubts, and the way they could obtain information about land reclamation and underwater urban engineering was still obtained from Guo Shida's speech.

After all, Guo Shida is not a professional in architecture, and his speech is generally relatively simple, and when it comes to extremely professional fields, it is limited to personal professional reasons, or out of the need for technical confidentiality, and the speech is relatively vague. However, it is precisely because of the simplicity that almost all the delegates attending the meeting, regardless of whether they are from science and engineering backgrounds, can understand what Guo Shida wants to express.

As Guo Shida's speech came to an end, many of the distinguished guests attending the meeting, especially the foreign guests who had never heard of the reclamation of land and underwater urban engineering before, all had a relatively intuitive understanding. They soon realized that the practical significance of land reclamation and underwater urban engineering in scientific research and tourism is needless to say, and its value in seizing marine resources can be said to be unparalleled.

If an underwater city can be built in the open sea, it will be possible to use the underwater city as a base to exploit the abundant resources of the ocean depths in the surrounding seas. The significance of this is even greater than the value of the underwater city.

Of course, the high seas are no different from the territorial seas, and the United Nations Convention on the Sea has defined the marine resources in the high seas as shared by all mankind, and no country or organization can appropriate the resources in the high seas, especially the resources of the seabed, as their own. However, no matter how the United Nations Convention on the Sea defines it, the various resources rich in the high seas will have to be developed sooner or later, and if we build underwater cities first, we can undoubtedly seek a certain initiative in this regard.

Another point is that under normal circumstances, the depth of the sea water in the high seas is far greater than that of the inland seas and territorial waters of various countries, and the technical difficulty of building underwater cities on the high seas is several times, or even more than ten times, dozens of times that of building underwater cities in the inland seas and territorial waters. Before the first land reclamation and underwater city project was successfully built, it would be a bit ahead of our time to talk about building an underwater city on the high seas.

After Guo Shida's explanatory speech, Shan Liangkun congratulated the enterprise alliance headed by Yinhe Industry on behalf of the Central Political Bureau and the State Council, and also urged the general headquarters of the sea reclamation and underwater city project to be in line with the attitude of being responsible to the country and the people, strictly control, conscientious and responsible, and build the sea reclamation project, especially the underwater city part, into a modern city that can withstand the test of time and stand for a hundred years without falling.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, Liu Shiqing and all the guests attending the meeting left the general headquarters of the reclamation of land and underwater urban engineering, rushed to the wharf of Ludao City, and took the cruise ship parked here to rush to the construction site of the reclamation of land and underwater urban engineering. In order to ensure the safety of the passengers on the cruise ship, the military not only placed a lot of plainclothes bodyguards on the cruise ship, but also dispatched a formation composed of missile destroyers, submarines, and other ships to escort the cruise ship.

Near noon, the cruise ship was moored about half a nautical mile away from the construction site, and people could clearly see the situation at the construction site when they stood on the deck of the cruise ship.

More than a dozen ships were moored near the construction site, some of them cargo ships, some engineering ships, and some of them were purely passenger ships that provided rest and entertainment for the workers. Around the construction site, there is nothing but boats, not to mention islands, and even seabirds are not visible.

On the windless three-foot sea, a huge platform about the size of a basketball court was laid flat on a shelf, about 15 meters above sea level. The platform has two floors, the top layer is the power station and rainwater collection equipment, and the lower layer is the workshop, seawater desalination workshop, sewage treatment workshop and so on. Don't look at the small area of this platform, in order to build it, more than 2 billion Huaxia coins have been spent.

"Everyone," Liu Shiqing stood at the bow of the cruise ship, the sea breeze was blowing, if he didn't shout at the top of his voice, if he said it, he would be blown away by the strong wind before he floated five meters away, "Have you seen it?" It is the site of the world's first land reclamation and underwater urban project, and the platform that emerges from the sea is our initial result. Don't underestimate this platform, there is a lot of high-tech concentrated on our Galaxy Industry, the solar panels on it are the best solar panels that we can make in Galaxy Industry, and the desalination equipment is also tailored by Galaxy Water for the whole project, and there are some other equipment, I won't go into details.

In particular, I would like to introduce to you that although this is only a platform, it can already be commercialized externally. Anyone who applies can visit the platform, and if they are brave enough, they can also take the ocean sightseeing elevator on the platform to a depth of about 200 meters below sea level to see the scenery of the surrounding sea. In the near future, we will also launch a miniature sightseeing submarine around this offshore platform, when the time comes, tourists can take the submarine, go deep into the seawater, and enjoy the surrounding underwater scenery with a relatively large degree of freedom. ”

Liu Shiqing said lively, and some people were moved, "Mr. Liu, can we board your offshore platform now and feel some of the actual situations above." ”

Liu Shiqing nodded, "Yes." However, due to the limited area of the offshore platform, limited resources, and construction, the reception capacity is not high, and it can only receive about 50 tourists per day. If you want to visit the offshore platform, you can, but you have to draw lots, and whoever is lucky enough to draw it will be able to wait until the offshore platform and become the first tourists in the history of the offshore platform. ”

The staff who had been prepared for a long time hurriedly came out with a large box, which contained a lot of table tennis balls, and any guests who wanted to board the sea platform for a tour could come over to draw a lottery. If you can draw it, you can board the offshore platform, but if you can't smoke it, you can only watch it from a distance on the cruise ship.

Liu Shiqing and Shan Liangkun were both interested in going to the offshore platform to have a look, but for safety reasons, both of them had to stop on the cruise ship and watch the guests go to the lottery.

"Mr. Liu, I am now looking forward to you being able to build the underwater city as much as possible, and when the time comes, I can go to the bottom of the sea to see it. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be able to meet the Dragon King. Shan Liangkun was in a good mood and joked with Liu Shiqing.

Liu Shiqing said with a smile: "Vice Premier Shan, if you are willing, when the underwater city is built, I will give you a house, and when the time comes, you will live at the bottom of the sea, you don't need to see the Dragon King, you yourself are the Dragon King." ”

While the two were talking and laughing, an officer came over, saluted Shan Liangkun, and said, "Report chief, I just received a report from the escort fleet, saying that the ship of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force was discovered at a distance of about 100 nautical miles from us, and the escort fleet asked you for instructions, do you want to send a warning signal to the other party?" ”

The distance of about 100 nautical miles is not too far, as long as the Japanese are ruthless, a missile can dry and sink Liu Shiqing's cruise ship, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force will not come sooner or later, but they will come at this time, almost pressing the sea border, and their actions are very worthy of scrutiny.

Liu Shiqing asked: "During the construction of the sea reclamation and underwater urban project, did you find any abnormalities?" ”

The officer said: "Since the beginning of construction, Japan has sent ships to the waters around the construction site more than once to conduct surveys, and they have always pressed the border line. ”

Shan Liangkun said: "Our navy is still too weak, otherwise, it would be the turn of the Japanese to be so arrogant, driving warships around our doorstep, wolf ambitions." Pass on my order for the convoy to send a warning signal to the Japanese fleet, and if they dare to make any drastic moves, the convoy will not hesitate to sink it. In addition, send a request to the Central Military Commission to see if the missile units deployed on the southeast coast of the East China Sea Fleet and the Second Artillery Corps can also be moved. Suppress the Japanese fleet fiercely and let them be honest. ”

"Yes." The officer saluted and turned to convey Shan Liangkun's order. After all, Shan Liangkun does not have any military position, and if he were not the vice premier of the State Council, the officer would not have come to ask him for instructions.

Liu Shiqing raised his eyebrows, the actions of the Japanese were really blatant, and there was no intention of restraint at all. Knowing this, we should have set foot in the shipbuilding industry as soon as possible, built a few more advanced warships for the navy, and equipped them with the three major fleets, so that the Japanese would not have been able to drive warships to a position only 100 nautical miles away from the construction site and show off their might.

"Vice Premier Shan, do you say that after the completion of the reclamation of land from the sea and the underwater urban project, a special military port will be opened up?" Liu Shiqing asked.

Shan Liangkun thought for a while, "I don't understand military matters, but I personally think it's a good idea." Didn't you just say that the whole project uses a lot of the most advanced technology of Galaxy Industry, purely from the perspective of protecting these technologies from leakage, and should also be equipped with a strong security system for the whole project, here is the sea, stationed a small fleet, is undoubtedly the most suitable. I have written down this idea of yours, and when I return to Yanjing, I will report to the No. 1 chief and the prime minister. In addition, I will propose to the commander of No. 1 that the East China Sea Fleet be able to patrol the vicinity of the construction site on a regular basis. ”V
