Wang Chao and Zhao Dahai came to the nameless island, this island is not big, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, the west is two small hills, and the east is a large flat land, Wang Chao asked Zhao Dahai to take some soil samples on the flat land, ready to take them back for testing, and he lay on the small mountain bag to feel the rare tranquility of the island.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Chao, who was lying on the hill, suddenly felt something moving from underground, and suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that there was still a vast sea around, and there was not even a boat nearby, only the sound of waves crashing on the shore

He sat up and thought for a moment, then held his breath and stared to the ground to "look"

"Ah", not only let out a cry of surprise.

This deserted island is also forty or fifty kilometers away from the nearest mainland, and there is still water underground, but unexpectedly, about thirty meters deep from the ground, a huge cave appeared, the cave is the size of half a football field, and there seem to be traces of human activity in it

In the cave, there seems to be an artificial earthen platform, because it is underground after all, it is not so clear to look at directly, but it has been determined that it is artificially excavated, which makes Wang Chao both surprised and anxious.

Surprisingly, who actually dug this underground hole? When was it dug up? Why dig such a big hole? What is it used for?

I was anxious to go down and take a look immediately, but I didn't have any tools at hand, and it was difficult to dig such a deep hole with my bare hands, so I could only temporarily suppress the excitement in my heart.

Seeing that the sun has turned westward, I can see it far away. Shadow came to a boat, and after a closer look, it was the boss of the boat in the morning, so he stood up, greeted Zhao Dahai, and waited together on the beach.

……

When they returned to the mainland, they separated from the boat boss and went back to the hotel.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the two drove to the local county government, where there were already people waiting to receive them. Pretend it's the first time to come today. So the people of the county received them very warmly and listened to the introduction of the people of the county.

"Mr. Wang, if you are sure to develop that island. We recommend that the first option is to develop it into agricultural land. Whatever you grow, you can; Secondly, the second option is to develop it into a tourist area. But hehe, you also know that the county probably doesn't have any funds for you to invest. So, that's the overall picture."

"Director Li, I understand what you mean, does it mean that if I contract, all the investment in the county will not be cared for? Is it enough to charge only 500,000 yuan a year for the contract? ”

Director Li smiled awkwardly and said, "If mineral resources are found on it, it must belong to the state, otherwise if you only say that you are operating on that small island, you are responsible for all the investment, but we can repair a suggestion dock to facilitate your ship to dock."

Wang Chao almost didn't vomit blood, and suggested how much money the dock could cost, but then he thought about it again: Don't talk nonsense with him, sign it early.

After that, the contract period was determined, and Director Li said,

"At present, the longest land contract period in China is 30 years, and the longest contract period for barren slopes and barren mountains on river beaches and barren mountains can be 50 years, so we will sign a 50-year contract, and if you contract again after expiration, you have the right to choose first."

This is not nonsense, who would have thought of what would happen 50 years later, but Wang Chao didn't talk to him much, there was no problem with the text of the contract, and he signed it without hesitation, and the rent was paid every three years.

According to the requirements of the contract, it was paid within 10 days after the contract was signed, and without waiting for 10 days, Wang Chao asked Zhao Dahai to pay it off in the afternoon.

Director Wang saw the signing of the contract and warmly invited Wang Chao to have lunch together.

During the meal, Wang Chao asked if there were any cargo ships that could be sold or leased in the local area, and Director Li said that there were no cargo ships, only fishing boats, the largest being a 600-ton fishing boat.

Wang Chao waved his hand and said no, it will definitely be more suitable to use cargo ships for the construction of the island in the future, and the fishing boats are still too small and not suitable.

After eating, seeing that it was still early, the two said goodbye and drove back to Yanjing.

On the way, Wang Chao called Li Jinzhong, the two of them hadn't been in touch for several months, and the last time was when they bought the abandoned coal mine in Jinxi

During the Spring Festival, although Wang Chao did not go to Shanxi, but also held a conference call, the operation there is very good, the underground coal again, stabilized the original team, everyone is very happy, peace of mind coal mining, by the end of the year has mined nearly 500,000 tons of coal, the output is larger than before.

"Brother Li, I'm Wang Chao, hehe, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I called you today to ask if you know the shipyard...... It's not a fishing boat, it's a cargo ship, I want to buy two cargo ships ... I'll tell you the truth, I've just bought a small island, and we're going to be the owner of the island, hahaha...... In Huludao, it is not ready-made, it is a desert island, and I bought a cargo ship to transport supplies back and forth, develop and build it... Well, the tonnage doesn't need to be too big, one is 500-600 tons, the other is 3000 tons is enough ... Okay, then I'll wait for your call, thank you."

In the next few days, Wang Chao made a list of purchases and began to prepare the machinery and tools for excavation, which are not easy to excavators, large tractors, bulldozers, engineering vehicles, various steel bars, cement, stones, bricks and tiles and wood used to build houses.

During this period, the results of Zhao Dahai's laboratory came out, which gave Wang Chao a big surprise: the soil quality there is not only not sandy or alkaline, but also the soil fertility is exceptionally high, the organic matter content is rich, and the soil fertility exceeds 1.3

You must know that there may be people living on it for thousands of years, but they have not been cultivated for a long time, so the wild grass on it grows and fails, and sometimes there is fire, which burns the dead branches and leaves into a good grass ash fertilizer, and in addition, birds for millions of years often go up to perch and stay, and there is a lot of bird droppings on it, so it is a natural good land.

Later, Wang Chao asked the people of Tianyi Water to make a list of small desalination devices and let people purchase them in advance.

In addition, in order to ensure the supply of electricity, a set of wind power generation devices was prepared, and the initial plan was to generate 500,000 kilowatt-hours of small wind turbines per year, and a set of storage batteries were bought. The electricity generated can be stored; A diesel engine was also bought as a backup.

Mainly based on nature and recycling, and minimize the damage to nature.

Before the Qingming Festival, the freighter has also been bought, the two cargo ships spent a total of about 30 million yuan, which is the "genuine licensed" produced by the shipyard under the China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, everything is ready, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

During this period, the main desalination project of Caofeidian has been built, and nearly 200 million yuan has been invested. A complete set of desalination equipment was purchased from abroad. began to enter the installation one after another, and everything was in full swing.

Wang Chao was not idle, from Tang City to Yanjing, I don't know how many times he ran back and forth. Solve the problem of water supply after desalination. And there are many secret relationships and some people with deep backgrounds, including Liu Shao and Xinyu's father, operating in it. Only then did it preliminarily decide to divert water from Caofeidian to make up for the shortfall in the south-to-north water diversion.

Obviously, this cost is nearly two-thirds lower than that of the South-to-North Water Diversion, but the project is a cross-century project. It was even a major event decided by the previous high-level central government, and it was not something that could be shaken by a few people or even some relationships, so it was finally agreed to allow the transfer of water to Yanjing, and this was already the best result after the interests of several parties.

"No matter so much, since we have the target of entering Beijing, then take out 12% of our efforts to give us a water delivery target of 1.5 million tons per day, then we will install the device according to 2 million tons per day in advance, part of it is for the loss of water in the process of water transportation, and the other part is to supplement water for other places, such as the industrial park in Caofeidian, and now the new steel giant is about to be put into operation, and the daily water consumption will exceed 1,000 tons, which is only industrial water. In addition, domestic water should be at least 1,500 tons per day, in addition, we can also sell agricultural water at a lower price, hehe, this is the future of large water users, of course, the profit is also very low, only about 5 cents higher than the cost"

Wang Chao breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "In addition, we can also use various relationships to supply water to the south, north, west and other water-scarce cities, agriculture, the state has issued a planning outline for urbanization, the future underground water can only be used as drinking water, other water can only rely on the south-to-north water diversion and our desalination water, hehe, our long-term goal is to transport the desalination water to the west, where there is endless demand." Of course, in the next five years, we can only supply water to Yanjing and its surroundings."

There was a burst of warm applause below, which was Wang Chao's speech before the completion of the Caofeidian desalination project, in order to boost everyone's morale.

This is calculated, with a daily treatment of 2 million tons of seawater, a year down the treatment capacity of almost more than 600 million tons, relative to a Heqi Lake water storage, and this is only the first phase of the project, Wang Chao's future goal is to desalinate the seawater treatment capacity within five years to eventually reach 5 million tons, the annual treatment capacity of about 2 billion tons, this treatment capacity relative to the entire year of Yanjing's water consumption, relative to the south-to-north water diversion of nearly half of the water transfer, can further alleviate the demand for fresh water in the northern region.

At this time, it was close to May Day, and various companies began to prepare for the holiday, Wang Chao took advantage of the time of the past few days, and he took Zhao Dahai and a few people from the security company to the nameless island quietly - of course, now the nameless island has been changed to Tianyi Island, which has become Wang Chao's private property, and the nearly 1,500 acres of fertile land have been plowed over and ready to start planting.

Because it is the first year of planting, the first trial planting is corn, only corn seeds bought nearly 50 tons, ready to wait for the temperature to rise some time to start planting, and at this time the local average temperature is still about 5 degrees, and a little too cold, worried that the seedlings will not be born.

In addition to farming, nearly 20 houses were built on the island at the foot of the hill, a few of which were used as bedrooms and others as storage for mechanical vehicles and tools.

Next to these houses, a lighthouse about 10 meters high was built, on which high-definition cameras were installed, both to show the way for ships at sea and to serve as a supervisor for outsiders.

At this time, there was no one else on Tianyi Island except for the six of them.

"I'm bringing you here to tell you a secret, this secret company doesn't know to anyone else, and I ask you to keep your mouth shut, and rot all the news you see and hear in your stomachs, hearts, and brains without my permission. In return, you will be given a large bonus at the end of the matter."

Before the start of construction, a few more people were mobilized, and even Zhao Dahai didn't know what was going on before, and he didn't reveal it along the way.

Wang Chao looked serious, not like he was joking with everyone at all, so they all expressed their positions, and everything was arranged by him.

Nodding, Wang Chao continued, "Just under this hill, there is a huge underground karst cave, I asked you to come here to dig this underground karst cave and see what is inside."

"Hiss" The people below gasped

I didn't expect to let myself come to the island to dig a cave, which no one expected, although I have a stomach full of words I want to ask, such as how do you know that there is a cave underground? How deep is this hole? What's in there? ……

It can be seen that Wang Chao's serious and mysterious energy, no one dares to take the initiative to ask.

Wang Chao glanced at everyone, and a smile appeared on his face,

"I know you all have a lot of questions to ask, but unfortunately it's hard to answer them now, so I'll have to wait until I dig them out, okay, that's the way it is, everyone is ready to start"

After that, I carefully looked through it again, found a good position, and started the construction vehicle to start digging.

First, a bulldozer was used to push away some firewood, grass, sticks, and stones on the ground, and then the excavator was started to excavate in earnest, and some people jumped on the transport truck to pull the excavated soil to the edge of the farmland

In addition to Wang Chao commanding there, even Zhao Dahai drove an engineering truck to excavate.

The time soon came to the evening, today is the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moonlight is like practice, shining on the island is very bright, except for the time to eat something simply, everyone has been busy, until more than one o'clock in the second half of the night before exhausting and stopping, at this time after more than ten hours of excavation, has dug a radius of ten meters, about ten meters deep pit has been dug.

At nine o'clock the next day, everyone had breakfast and was full of energy, and the various models on the island rang non-stop, and when it was close to noon, they dug down nearly ten meters, which added up to a depth of almost twenty meters.

Although he didn't understand the whimsical thoughts of this Mr. Wang, he was still digging silently, and when it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, he dug about six or seven meters again, and was suddenly stopped by Wang Chao

By this time the pit had been dug to a depth of about twenty-six or seven meters, and a deep "well" had been formed.

Wang Chao also jumped down, looked around, grabbed the dirt and put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said to Zhao Dahai,

"Brother Zhao, let the excavator dig diagonally down in this direction, probably four or five meters inward"

With a stomach full of regret, the roar of the machine sounded again. (To be continued......)
