Ukraine was the breadbasket of the USSR, and the most incredible economic proposal put forward by Comrade Glazunov was the proposal to create a deep-sea fish farm in the Black Sea.

Generally speaking, fish cannot be raised in the deep sea, because plants need soil, and the soil of the shallow sea within 200 meters can receive light, so the shallow sea, which accounts for one-tenth of the earth's ocean surface, is home to almost all marine life.

It's different now. Because there is a cheap artificial island solution, that is, the biological island building plan of Green Island Technology, it can not only grow itself with seabed materials, but also produce its own ecological environment around the artificial plant island.

In this artificial ecological environment, a large number of plankton will be born, which will become free feed for the fish farming industry. For example, a 100 x 100 metre artificial island can produce 15 tonnes of herring, with a total wholesale price of US$600,000.

At present, the cost of such a standard artificial island is only 1 million US dollars, and the artificial island fishery has fish every year, and it only takes two years to return to the capital, which is really a huge profit.

At present, the total value of Ukraine's agricultural output is $14 billion, and Glazunov's plan intends to make the fishing industry a breakthrough and double the value of agricultural output in 10 years. That is, 1.4 billion US dollars of fishing grounds will be built every year, that is, 2,333 deep-sea fisheries.

This would require an annual investment of $2.3 billion.

This deal is much better than the one made by Green Island Technology and Lin Mao, Liu Kai, the CEO of Green Island Technology, the buddy who created the Emperor Worship Association, is really happy.

If the Ukrainian people are interested in the project, they will pay out of their own pockets to buy the fishing grounds provided by the Green Island Imperial Examination, with a down payment of 20%, that is, 200,000 US dollars, and a mortgage for up to 30 years, just like buying a house.

The unit that provided the mortgage loan was the Ukrainian Development Bank, a commercial bank established by the government and affiliated with the National Development and Reform Commission. Their capital is 80 of the $2.8 billion investment that pays for itself in two years, or 22. $400 million.

This money is of course unaffordable for Ukraine, which is now economically sluggish, and can only be solved by issuing bonds. No one wants to trust the current Ukrainian government, and Li Xiantai secretly found international investors to anonymously settle the bond purchase for the NDRC.

This was the first pilot of financial reform in the Soviet Union, and with the huge financial support of the good lord, Glazunov was able to establish the Ukrainian Development Bank.

Another of Glazunov's brainstorming plans was to build a 600-kilometer-long canal from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. However, the construction of a 100-kilometer canal to replace the Strait of Malacca on the Kra Isthmus in Thailand would cost $28 billion, and 600 kilometers would cost $168 billion.

Where did Ukraine get all this money? The economically strapped Soviet Union was even less likely to build a canal at this juncture.

The reason why the canal is so expensive is because you have to build it too wide. For example, the Kra Canal planned by the Qing Dynasty for Thailand is bidirectional, with a width of 400 meters and a depth of 25 meters.

There was no problem with the depth, but the solution offered by Li Xiantai to Grazunov was 5 meters wide. You're not 5 meters, not 50 meters, but 5 meters, about the same length as your big bedroom.

This is an incredible "water train", which can be 100 meters long and has a total displacement of 3,000 tons, despite being 5 meters wide at the waterline. That's a third of a 10,000-ton tanker, and the canal, which is mainly used to transport oil and gas from the Caspian Sea, will be filled with such small cargo ships.

In order to solve the problem of narrow river channels, the mini canal only allows the passage of customized 3,000-ton boats on autopilot to ensure the safety of navigation, while the ports at both ends will use containers to quickly switch long-distance transportation.

In the early days, this small waterway will have 5 nodes of double waterways, one every 100 kilometers, each 1,000 meters, through the automatic navigation control system to accurately control the staggered time of the ships, so that they can sail in both directions almost without delay, solving the problem of both directions.

What do you think? Sounds great, right? As a result, the cost of building a canal per kilometer has dropped by 80 times, from US$2.8 billion to US$35 million, and even if it is 600 kilometers long, it will only cost 21 billion, which is actually cheaper than Thailand's 100-kilometer Kara Canal.

The good master who is good at excavation knows that transporting earth and stone is a long-standing problem, so he formulated the strange idea of opening a canal of 1,000 meters every 1,000 meters of excavation for the project, so that he can use the capacity of the canal itself to throw the earth and stone into the unfathomable Black Sea Caspian Sea.

The riverbed, which is only 5 * 25 meters, can completely adopt the prefabricated mode, produce a cement riverbed of 5 * 25 * 5 specifications on the bank, directly fill the leveled river bottom with a large crane, and use the movable sluice to cut off the seawater, and separate the river section under construction from the river section that has been opened, and continue to advance.

In order to speed up the progress of the project, Li Xiantai will purchase a super excavator from Krupp, which is 95 meters high, 215 meters long, and weighs 4. 50,000 tons.

The diameter of the bucket reaches 20 meters, and 20 buckets are densely arranged on it, each bucket can hold a 180-centimeter man.

Its work efficiency is naturally terrifying, and it can dig 7 per day. 60,000 cubic meters of earth and stone, equivalent to 600 meters of canal. If it works uninterrupted, it can complete the excavation of 600 kilometers of canals in 360 days.

It took 360 days to dig 600 kilometers of canals, tsk, incredible, right? There is no way, modern construction machinery is awesome and shining, the machine itself took 5 years to manufacture, and the second-hand one costs 20 million US dollars.

It's not that you can't add a super excavator, but in that case, I'm afraid that the production speed of cement components can't keep up, so it's better to take it easy.

Any canal expert would be skeptical about a 5-meter-wide canal, even if it is a custom-built ship, can its safety be guaranteed?

In this regard, the digital simulation program gives the answer, in the case of the installation of the tail side propeller, it can ensure a high speed of 30 knots, as long as the canal is straight enough, and the sea conditions and wind speed are not too bad.

In order to intelligently control the navigation attitude, the custom ship will be equipped with four "airspeed tubes" that are unique to the fighter jets to measure the "dynamic pressure and static pressure of the angle of attack and sideslip angle".

This is the first time that the concept of "precision navigation" has appeared. However, this was clearly not enough to impress the hearts of the central decision-makers, and Glazunov also said in the demonstration: "If the first phase of the project is successful, we can also carry out the second phase, which is a two-way voyage."

The second phase can be carried out with the first mortgage loan, built 40 meters apart, this double waterway can be used for military purposes in addition to rapid transportation, because we will be designing catamarans across the double waterway, on which large warships can be placed, and this 40 meters wide is not for nothing.

Our goal is to put the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk on a catamaran and pass through the canal! Our Crimean peninsula is occupied by the hateful NATO, and if we can hide the aircraft carrier in the Caspian Sea, it will be a big plus from the point of view of military security. ”

Everyone thought that such a catamaran was unreliable, but the renderings made by Glazunov show that he used multiple catamarans in any combination, one pair every 10 meters, a total of 10 pairs, and the buoyancy and propulsion were very powerful.

In the same way, with such a design, ships of tens of thousands of tons can pass, reducing the trouble of loading and unloading, which is the real canal!

Well, yes, but it's still the same old saying: what about money?

"It's still the Ukrainian Development Bank that issues bonds, a total of $21 billion, and I've found friendly international investors who will help if no one buys the bonds," said Glazunov with a smile. ”

The leaders are very ashamed, their own departments are stretched, and the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, who doesn't know where to get out, can still carry out project construction at this moment.

As everyone knows, this is the method that Glazunov used to set up the development bank, using Li Xiantai's engineering team to carry out the construction, the cost is far less than 21 billion US dollars, but he can take the opportunity to use this huge debt to empty the power of the development bank.

In the future, the addition of the Twin Waterways will cost a total of $42 billion, all of which will be in the pockets of the Good Lord. If he can't reap the benefits of the development of the development bank, then what is he helping Ukraine?

The most valuable thing in the Soviet Union was heavy industry, and Ukraine was the top priority, and in many ways even the Russian republics were inferior to Ukraine.

It would be better to fool Iran, a fellow Caspian country, into joining the project, which is currently suffering from Western economic sanctions, and ships cannot get out of the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea, if the Caspian Sea can be directly connected to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, at least Iran can launder its own cargo through the Soviet Union and secretly transport it.

Iran doesn't have any money, but it doesn't matter, it can be traded for oil.

If Iran enters the game, there may be a chance to break through the passage from the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf in the future and build a canal from Tehran to the Persian Gulf, which is less than 800 kilometers. With the idea of a "mini-canal", it's not a big deal either.

However, Iran is an outsider, and Glazunov thinks that the construction of a 10-kilometer demonstration canal will increase the convincing power of the Iranians.

Some of the above measures have begun to adopt the Western financial model, trying to break the long-standing planned economic structure of the Soviet Union. At the same time, the National Development and Reform Commission began to encourage foreign-funded enterprises to enter Kyiv, allowing employees to work, retain their original positions, and return at any time.

Self-employed are of course also encouraged.

Kiev instantly became the most dynamic city in the entire Soviet Union, and a large number of employees of rotten Ukrainian state-owned enterprises were displaced to this place full of opportunities.

Development banks have done a central job: to publicize the highly profitable industries and to encourage international investors to produce and trade. Those "thugs" who were still hesitant to chase huge profits naturally moved when they heard the wind, just like sharks smelling blood.
