After seeing Ye Quan's news from the media, many friends called one after another to talk about him becoming the richest man.

Some people are not sure, thinking that it is just a duplicate name, just as an interesting thing to say.

Some people know Ye Quan's identity, but they really can't figure it out, in their opinion, you have become the richest man, and you still keep it so tightly secret, it is incomprehensible.

Ye Quan laughed at himself becoming the richest man in the mainland, and didn't care too much, and didn't even suppress the media anymore.

Ye Quan has already figured out that with the momentum of the four major groups, with the scientific and technological resources and strength he has mastered, he will stand up one day.

However, in order to divert the attention of the people and no longer stare at him, Ye Quan released several blockbuster news one after another.

First, the Eastern Group officially established the Eastern Nuclear Power Technology Company, announcing that Tongguò has cooperated with scientific research institutions such as Xinhua and Hualong to make a revolutionary breakthrough in the magnetic confinement controllable nuclear fusion reactor.

In the second half of the year, the world's second commercial nuclear fusion power station will be built in eastern Guangdong Province, and the first phase of the project is expected to be completed by the end of next year, with an installed capacity of 55 million kilowatts and an annual power generation capacity of up to 400 billion kilowatts.

After the completion of the power station, it will completely solve the power supply problem in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Xinhuaguo is recognized as the world's largest nuclear power market in the next decade or so, and the government plans to replace thermal power plants with fusion power plants in 15 to 20 years.

This news stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the nuclear fusion reactor that countries had been studying for decades and even joined forces to fail for a long time was actually solved by a private enterprise!

Second, the four major groups will hold a large-scale technology promotion meeting to promote and authorize some high-tech technologies on a global scale.

The industries in which the four major groups are involved are the most profitable. Like energy, steel, medicine, etc. But these are the hardest industries to get into. Ye Quan also relied on advanced technology beyond the times to open up a market.

The most important thing is that he is not just stealing other people's cakes, but also making them bigger.

Through guò technology licensing and other methods, Ye Quan made a lot of money and led the development of the industry; On the one hand, it stimulates the progress of scientific research in various countries and promotes the progress of civilization.

Third, the researchers of super upland rice and Taoyuan regenerative rice became famous overnight, not only becoming the winner of the World Food Prize. He was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Fourth, Galaxy Group announced that it has made a breakthrough in virtual reality technology, and after the military-themed tourist "Iron Soul 3", next year's "Iron Soul 4" will be a milestone virtual reality game!

The Lijianguo-based Genesis Group has also released several pieces of news that its biotech company has resurrected the codontid, saber-toothed tiger and giant ground sloth after the Miracle Zoo cloned the woolly rhinoceros, Irish moose and moa.

In addition, Chuangshi Group has successfully developed several intelligent transportation platforms similar to the "Spider Platform", and has also made key breakthroughs in the intelligent machine.

This one is heavy news, and finally squeezed out the news that Ye Quan became the richest man.

Another important piece of news is that Hualong is discussing with Xinhua and Siam. The three parties are ready to invest money, technology, etc., to jointly build the Kra Isthmus Canal.

The proposed Kra Isthmus Canal. The Kra Isthmus, which runs through the southern part of Siam, is 102 kilometers long, 400 meters wide and 25 meters deep, and adopts a two-way shipping channel, known as the "Panama Canal of the East".

With the completion of the Kra Isthmus Canal, ships will not have to cross the Strait of Malacca and will be able to enter the Gulf of Thailand in the Pacific Ocean directly from the Andaman Sea in the Indian Ocean.

Compared with the transportation in the Strait of Malacca, if the Kra Canal is used, the distance will be reduced by at least 1,200 kilometers and the time will be shortened by 2 days, which will not only save time, but also effectively reduce the cost of sea transportation, which is expected to save nearly US$300,000 per voyage.

Kra Isthmus is a narrow strip of land in the south of Siam, close to Hua Long Kingdom, bordering the Indochina Peninsula to the north, the Malay Peninsula to the south, the Gulf of Thailand to the east, the Andaman Sea to the west, and the Indian Ocean to the west.

More than 80% of Xinhua has to pass through the Strait of Malacca, and the Strait of Malacca has many problems in terms of volume, routes, and safety.

For example, at its narrowest point, it is only 2.8 kilometers, there are too many shallows, sometimes it is difficult for ships to get through guò, and the problem of siltation is so severe that piracy is rampant, and the accident rate is as high as three times that of the Suez Canal and five times that of the Panama Canal.

Since the 80s of the last century, the country has pursued a strategy of "maritime control" in an attempt to master 16 of the world's maritime arteries, including the Strait of Malacca, the Suez Canal, the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Gibraltar and the Panama Canal, to ensure that it can blockade the maritime shipping and naval forces of other countries in wartime, maintain the shipping lanes of the navy, and then squeeze and threaten the enemy countries.

Connecting the five continents and the four oceans, these sea arteries are not only the link of the world's maritime traffic and global trade, but also an important waterway and strategic point for naval operations, and have very important political, economic and military significance.

The canal will change the trade routes between Europe and Asia, shorten the trade voyages of Xinhua to Europe and Africa, and greatly improve the safety of transportation.

Xinhua participated in the construction of this canal and took the shipping lifeline of Northeast Asia into its own hands, which is of great significance for expanding its international discourse and enhancing its influence as a major country.

For Siam, the construction and operation of the Kra Canal will always reap long-term rewards.

Convenient transportation and a busy canal industry can drive the economic development of the surrounding areas, forming a number of cities developed by transportation conditions, oil refining, tourism, etc.

At the same time, it can increase the attractiveness of foreign investors and drive the entire national economy.

As for Hualongguo's willingness to promote the excavation of this canal, in addition to shortening the sea transportation line with Xinhua and controlling a sea chokepoint, the most important thing is that the interests of this canal are important.

It is estimated that after the canal is put into use, the daily traffic of large ships can reach 290 to 320, and the toll revenue is considerable.

Although the Kra Canal is as good as it can be, according to preliminary statistics, the entire project will take 10 years to build and will cost more than $30 billion.

The cost of money, the long time span, and various difficulties made the canal plan remain on paper rather than put into practice.

But these are simple things for Hualongguo.

In the tide of infrastructure construction in Hualong Kingdom, in order to save a lot of manpower, dozens of intelligent engineering machines have been applied.

Like a kind of large-scale intelligent excavator qì people, ordinary people see it, the first impression is a shortened and weakened version of the Transformers drilling beast, once it starts, it is simply a momentum like moving mountains and seas, no matter how steep the peaks and hard stones, it can't stop its progress.

In addition, there are advanced technologies such as laser cutting and excavation, and the efficiency has increased more than ten times in the fields of rock excavation and other projects.

Contractors such as Oriental Construction are confident that the canal will be dug within a year, and the cost will not exceed $5 billion.

At the same time as the canal is being excavated, the three countries of Xinhua, Hualong and Siam will also build a Kra city to jointly manage the affairs of the canal.

This is a port city similar to the Lion City, once the canal is opened, the development of accommodation, tourism, catering, maintenance, transit and other industries along the canal will bring great economic benefits.

Xinhua also won the right to garrison troops in Kra City as a forward base to pave the way for the navy to advance into the Indian Ocean.

The Indian Ocean is already the "center of the world", and the oil of the Persian Gulf, the main shipping lanes connecting Asia, Europe and Africa, makes the Indian Ocean a sea area where major powers compete with each other.

The Indian Ocean is one of the busiest maritime trade routes and energy routes in the world, and it has an extremely important strategic position, and its impact on Xinhua is even more life-and-death!

The completion of the Kra Canal will greatly affect the Lion City, which is known as one of the four tigers of Asia.

Once the Kra Canal is completed, it could put the Lion City, Southeast Asia's largest seaport, an important commercial city and an entrepot trade center, into history.

Its shipping-related tourism, ship repair, shipbuilding, port transit, etc. will fall into decline, bringing a fatal economic impact to the country.

Ye Quan naturally has no good impression of Lion City, a yellow-skinned and white-hearted country that has always been an anti-China vanguard. (To be continued......)
