Zhuang Jun was in 1908, in Shanghai, was selected to become a foreign student, and other study in Germany slightly different, his desire is to become an architectural designer, and later after the assessment, entered the German design school to study, and in early 1910, went to the United States, entered Yale University to study architecture, under the tutelage of German and American masters, and in the internship stage, participated in the construction of Basra Port, accumulated a lot of experience.

This time the construction of this Black Dragon Island, because the location is too sensitive, even in Germany, the northwest did not confide, it is inconvenient to find foreign designers, so I have to look for it in my own country, and Zhuang Jun stood out, his design plan, after the review of the Tong Guò, became the chief designer of Black Dragon Port.

It's just 25 years old, and he has become such an important designer, which is rare for the designer industry, and it is the first time to undertake such a big project, the importance of Heilong Island, Zhuang Jun knows very well that this is related to the safety of millions of immigrants and China's strategy in the future, but Zhuang Jun has a very good mentality, and he was not intimidated by difficulties, and even came to take a look.

Map and reality, these are two different things, a lot of ideas, in the face of the map, there is always some unpleasantness, but in the face of the actual island, but spewed out, the whole Black Dragon Island, is not very large, almost 3.6 square kilometers left behind, in the island, it is very small, but a little larger than the island reef.

In the future, it may ≡ ★ a strategic location, provided that there is widespread use of airplanes, fresh water, and sufficient area for the construction of airports. It is a strategic location. Control zhì out here, within 400 kilometers around. It will become a nightmare for other people's ships, and as long as it is well defended, it will become an important fulcrum at sea.

In this era, in this era in which battleships are the main combat capability, they simply do not play much role, for no other reason, the main guns of battleships, the general attack range, are about 10 nautical miles. This is the range of the main precision shooting, the ultimate range, even more than 20 nautical miles, for such an island, all of a sudden, penetrated, it can be said that there is no danger to defend, unless, can be on the island. On top of the highest peak, which is almost more than 300 meters above sea level, a series of fortresses were built.

A fixed fortress may be built in the future, but it needs to be taken into account, it is too close to the land. Relatively speaking, there is some overlap with the integration with land, and the era of aviation is far from coming. The role of the island is far from being reflected.

For Zhuang Jun. On one side of such an island, a large deep-water port could be built. This is the natural advantage of this island, and even the investment in building a port will not be as large as that of Basra, and as for the slope on the south side, some docks can also be placed to further strengthen the advantage of the northwest on the water.

After several years of development, the shipbuilding technology of civilian ships, under the condition of continuous improvement of steel and material mechanics, has developed to catch up, and exceed the world's advanced level, but military ships, has always been a drawback, the northwest in the country, in the inland, is his good place, can not attract the slightest attention of the great powers and the Qing government, free development, but relatively speaking, to get an outlet to the sea, it is much more difficult, from 1840, the British with ship cannons, After the opening of China's national gate, the port has always been the focus of attention of the great powers, when the emergence of the Yangtze River waterway, the strong and horizontal waterway, directly created the development of the Yangtze River Basin, the strength of Britain and France, also along the Yangtze River waterway, into the hinterland of China, many actions in the northwest, are afraid to let go, because of this.

It can be said unceremoniously that all the cities that used to be seaports, or the settlements with a larger population, have been divided by the powers, and even if there are left, they have all been focused on by the powers, with the current strength of the northwest, they have shown their strength in China, but it will take time to confront the powers.

Qingdao shipyard, is the northwest spent a huge price, this is a small opening in the Germans, even so, it is only a first opportunity, there is no guarantee that the future Germany will definitely give this Qingdao to the northwest, in this case, the increase of any port, is extremely important.

For the ocean, Yang Yuanzhao will definitely not give up, and even for this ocean, he has a perfect idea, the matter of the South Seas is an accident, and it is this accident that makes the northwest start to go to the ocean in advance.

An island that can be controlled, radiating the entire Southeast Asia, in the surrounding seas, there are more islands, Southeast Asia is a paradise for pirates, but these, not natural bunkers, the northwest now has the industrial and land power, the ocean is the only shortcoming, even in the future, to get Qingdao, it is only to have the foundation, the main road on the sea, need a little bit of accumulation.

The real occupation of the Black Dragon Island, is the real look at the Black Dragon Island, the Black Dragon Island is relatively hidden, within 30 nautical miles around, not a shipping route, in his southeast and northwest position, there is a large reef group, unless someone specially guides, in one of the less than 3 nautical miles of the channel to enter, otherwise it is impossible to reach this island.

This situation, restricting the sea ships to come here, is a small no-man's land, it can be said that as long as you are careful, you should be able to continue to maintain this denseness, the central hill, there are two peaks, one on the north side, one on the south side, above, there are mountain springs, there is a huge spring on the top of the mountain, the spring water is cool, it is considered to be good fresh water, for the island, this is some exciting places, before the location of the Black Dragon Pirate Water Village, is an ordinary port of less than 5000 tons, On the other hand, it is the point that has not been utilized, as long as it is planned to carry out preliminary renovation there, it can make this port berth more than 10,000 tons of cargo ships, and even in the future, after the breakwater is built, it can even berth ships of more than 30,000 tons, this is a natural port, I really don't know, why not only was it not used in the early 20th century, even in later generations, I have not heard that there is such a waterway here.

After Zhuang Jun looked at the island, he made a slight modification to the plan he had made before, mainly some fine-tuning, so that the ships entering the harbor could travel less distance and reduce some distances, and by the way, the layout of the route was clarified, and the islands and reefs could be considered not to be blown up for the time being, but in the future, if this island wants to develop, these must be dealt with.

Next, more than 50 cargo ships of more than 5,000 tons came to this port one after another, and after simply dealing with the water village, especially on the cargo ships, there is also a floating wharf, which is fixed in the water village, so that the cargo ships can be unloaded there.

After a certain journey, without the modern tools of cranes and tower cranes, the freighter reluctantly docked with the help of the floating wharf, the speed of loading and unloading was very slow, but fortunately, Yang Shu and Xiao Jianfeng got more than 20,000 people from the German and American farms, and the manpower was enough. They used their shoulders to unload more than 170,000 tons of supplies and various things on this island that had not yet been leveled.

It took a full week to unload the things that should be unloaded, the engineering workers from the northwest began to start the large machinery, for the port and the cottage, the preliminary modification, and the technicians, also began to look for clay, firing bricks and tiles, cement can come from the far northwest, if the bricks and tiles also come from, it is too much, fortunately, the nearby German and American farms and the island itself, there is a certain amount of soil for burning bricks, the initial work is enough.

However, Zhuang Jun was not careless at all, in the previous design, it was already very clear that this task was extremely stressful, after occupying the island, the amount of work would be very large, and the initial construction must be completed before the monsoon hit again, otherwise, a sudden tornado would easily destroy the one that was built with great difficulty.

The emergence of mechanization has changed a lot, everyone knows that if you want to get rich first build roads, a place with convenient transportation, itself will become a central city, or a key city, which is in the past days, countless facts have verified things, but the huge consumption of road repair, but let everyone who wants to build roads, or people who want to change the trajectory of their lives, can not go on, a road, to affect the hearts of many people, every renovation of the official road, is the nightmare of the people along the way, Heavy labor, combined with brutal management, constituted a double strangulation.

This is especially true of seaports, don't look at the projectile land, some seaports are used for hundreds of years, only to gradually travel, some are spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources, this time the workers who came, basically have the experience of Basra port, compared to Basra such a 10-million-ton port, this at most only need to berth 5 10,000-ton cargo ships, the annual throughput capacity may not be more than a million tons of ports, much smaller.

The roar of machinery, for the first time on the Black Dragon Island, in the era of no planes and satellites, in the surrounding Qiē are under the control of the northwest, they can throw off their arms and do a big job, the only regret is that the construction can not be done at night, not that the lighting problem cannot be solved, but that they are afraid of the bright lights at night, attracting uninvited guests.

Rao is so, the measures of Heilong Island are also gradually improving, a sea route located in Southeast Asia, which can closely connect Borneo with the northwest, is slowly taking shape under the situation that the surrounding powers are not aware of. (To be continued......)
