After almost ten hours of flight, the seaplane finally landed on Guam, which is the largest seaplane in China, with a take-off weight of more than 70 tons, and the fuselage is also quite large, even if it lands after deceleration, it took at least 2 kilometers to finally stop at the location. It is about 1.8 kilometers away from Guam, it is under the guidance of the speedboat, landed on the island, the seaplane after completing the task, they took the people and some materials that must be sent back to the island, returned to Manila, and then, similar flights composed of large seaplanes, will also travel between Manila and Guam, and even in Pontianak, Kuala Lumpur, and other cities, will also open fixed seaplane flights here, at least half a year in the future, Guam will become the busiest place for seaplane routes.

Not only seaplane routes, but also water routes, next, Guam as the center of these islands in the southwest Pacific, will become the focus of China's construction, not only need to build a large number of buildings, fortifications and the like, but also build a large number of dual-use facilities, the construction of the island, different from the mainland, Guam can not be regarded as a very small island, more than 500 square kilometers of islands, in the world is also one of the large islands, but it is only equivalent to a city, it is impossible to build steel on it, Cement and brick factories, in this case, everything needs to be shipped by ship.

The voyage of 2400 nautical miles is nothing, but the construction of buildings in the future is the focus, it is expected that at least the scale of 4 huge cities will be built, these city construction, every part, a brick, a tile, even an iron nail can not be self-produced, all need to be transported, at least 1.5 million tons of merchant ships in the future, will be mobilized to this aspect, go all out to support the transportation work here.

The development of the shipbuilding industry in the northwest began with the merger of the Jiangnan shipyard, China's cheap steel, into the shipyards, coupled with the progress of materials and fluid mechanics, China's shipbuilding industry from the very beginning, step by step development, from two 5000-ton fast merchant ships, step by step development to today, located on the entire coastline, from the Bohai Bay to the Beibu Gulf, tens of thousands of kilometers of coastline, not only a large number of military shipyards, but also a large number of civilian shipyards, Especially during the war, the demand for the transportation industry in the whole world is getting higher and higher, and China is no exception, especially when going out of the mainland and expanding to the sea, transport ships have become a major bottleneck.

For the navy, the sailors of the merchant ships are a little easier, China started from offshore fishing, and gradually went to the far sea, although in this era, many fishing grounds in the offshore waters have not yet reached the state of exhaustion, but take precautions, deep-sea fishing is the key, for environmental protection, has always been Yang Yuanzhao's attention, at present, China does not have the ability to plant seaweed on a large scale on the offshore continental shelf, but the release has begun, and reduce the fishing in the offshore waters, to prevent the tragedy of no fish in the East China Sea in the future.

For the offshore fishing that began to shrink, fishing in Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, and even the Pacific Ocean relying on the islands began to appear, and in the deep-sea fishing, began to gradually advance, from the offshore to the ocean, and then to merchant ships, warships, China has formed a cascade development of marine talents. As long as this cycle continues, in a few years, China will not be short of marine talent.

Yang Yuanzhao encountered the gap of merchant ships very early, from 1913, the outbreak of the European War, China began to frantically build docks, shipyards for production ships began to appear in a series, from Qingdao shipyards, Jiangnan shipyards diffusion of technology, computer-aided precision design, so that the production of merchant ships is getting faster and faster, the shortest time, the time of merchant ships in the dock, has been reduced from the initial 3 months or more, reduced to 18 days, the increase in the utilization rate of the dock, the reduction of labor costs, China's merchant ship production reached 12 million tons as early as 1914, and is growing at a rate of 50% per year, and by 1916, it is expected that the production of merchant ships will increase to the level of 40 million tons, so that the entire Chinese merchant ship ownership will reach the level of nearly 100 million tons.

This is a huge number, only such a huge capacity, can support China's merchant shipping in Australia, in the Pacific, and even in Europe, the future development of the entire Pacific Island, according to the level of 5 million tons of materials on A-class islands like Saipan, 2 million tons of B-class, and 10 million tons of more than A-class, these merchant ships may not be enough.

From the beginning of the occupation of Guam, China's huge system has begun to operate, in addition to the preliminary surveyors and designers, a huge merchant fleet and construction team are also being prepared, among the new merchant ships, 3 million tons of special for Guam, it is expected that there will be 12 million tons of merchant ships, through the Izu Islands to the south, all the way to the Caroline Islands, thousands of nautical miles, densely packed with more than 1,000 islands of materials and construction work.

These are all logistical work, for China, designers will not pay too much attention to this aspect, China has always been excellent in logistics, and the same is true in architecture, as long as they come up with design advice, reasonable, to ensure that Guam's defense is sufficient, as for construction, naturally someone else is responsible.

The designer's favorite thing is to draw on a blank piece of paper, and the canvas itself has been painted with patterns, this basically undeveloped island, is the designer's paradise, from the map and some image materials, it is not the same as really coming up.

In the hands of each designer, there is a bird's-eye view of the entire island, and a map constructed by the surveyors in the early stage, which will become their basic template, as a master of design, everyone is very outstanding in the professional field, they have a case in their hearts before, and now they just go to the island, compare the case in their hearts with the reality of Guam one by one, and finally make the best plan.

Most of the designers are quite satisfied, up to this has not been fully developed, many areas are still a barren land of Guam, many of their expectations can be realized, especially for military experts, this is a paradise, China's investment in Guam is very huge, not only will build large-scale ports, airports and batteries, but also need to build some necessary protection systems, this protection system is newly built by China, for example, radar stations, such as submarine sonar.

Radar station, this is based on the emergence of radar, and make adjustments, China with the help of Truss, under the materials provided by Yang Yuanzhao, the development of radar is very fast, although it has not yet made a radar that can be put on an airplane, and even some small ships, have not installed radar, but large radar has been quite perfect, radar is just a radio application field, by emitting radio waves, encountering object reflection, and according to the reflected distance, to determine the distance and size of the object. Anyone can make a simple radar, a radio transmitter and receiver are enough, but the problem of accuracy is the key to restricting the development of radar.

Radio has gone through several levels, starting from the disordered radio transmitting and receiving device, which is the most basic, in the radio discovery truncation, accurate reception of radio signals, reducing the packet drop rate, to the extent that it can be used, this is the second truncation, radar is the third stage, with the depth of electronic products and semiconductors, radar accuracy will be higher and higher, even to centimeters, millimeters, and even smaller units, the role of this radar will be the largest, This is also the top radar of the 21st century.

However, the development of science and technology is not achieved overnight, and the same is true for radar, Yang Yuanzhao did not have the luxury of hoping to get out the kind of fire control radar in the United States in the future, which was the rapid development of science and technology for nearly 80 years, and it was gradually endured, not that Yang Yuanzhao and an all-in-one machine could solve, but according to the concept of radar, with the help of all-in-one machines and computers, some large radars can still be used.

In the future, the radar station on Guam will be the largest in the entire southwest Pacific Ocean, and it can radiate at least 2,500 kilometers around.

In order to ensure the maximum accuracy, such a large radar, will be arranged on the highest peak above the pipeline, Guam has a peak of 407 meters, although the peak is not suitable for the layout of the battery, the price of going up is too great, and the angle is also problematic, but it is no problem to put the radar station, the peak of more than 400 meters, ordinary naval guns, can not be threatened at all, plus the radar antenna of 100-200 meters, the total area is more than 70 acres of radar body, enough to cover most of the surrounding areas.

In addition to radar, China has spared no effort in the defense of Guam, and even in the laboratory, things that are still in the research stage will be laid out in Guam, and Guam will not only have radar in the future, but also more than 180 kilometers of submarine sonar systems will be arranged on the seabed, and these systems use more than one kilometer long underwater towed and underwater layout layout, unless it is a natural sea creature, man-made metal objects, will be clearly found under several layers of defense, which is also to prevent people from the bottom of the sea, Attack by submarine way.

Such a protection system, let alone the present, even if it is the protection system arranged by the United States in Guam in later generations, because of the relationship of the times, may not reach the level of the Guam base of the US military in later generations, but it is already the highest level that can be achieved in this era, and it can even exceed more than 20 years, as long as this system is completed, it is definitely far above the Pearl Harbor of the US military during World War II.
