Chapter 164: Whales

June 22nd.

South China Sea, Huayang Reef.

After 20 days of expansion, Huayang Reef, which was previously only 0.32 square kilometers, has now become a large island with an area of 5.1 square kilometers.

The islands with the word "soil" are distributed, with an average altitude of 15 meters above sea level, especially the original Huayang Reef in the center, on which rows of stilt buildings have been built.

The two 10-storey buildings were built in about 10 days with prefabricated slabs and pre-bundled and welded reinforcement frames, and the interior is now being renovated.

A large number of seawalls have also been built to protect against wind, waves and high tides.

The runway of the airport has been initially leveled, and the professionals of China State Construction Company are working on the design of the airport.

Zhang Wei, who has just been appointed as the head of the base, is inspecting the work of the Huayang Reef base.

Although other man-made islands and reefs are advancing in three directions, Huayang Reef is no longer the southernmost outpost of actual control.

However, its strategic position continues unabated, and its importance as the center of the Spratly Islands is very important.

Whether it is a high-level airport being designed, or a port wharf, oil depot, fresh water reservoir, grain depot, and other supporting facilities, all of these show the determination of Huaguo.

Not far from Huayang Reef.

……

Inside the South China Sea Command Center of Annan.

A group of Annan officers, looking at the last picture sent back before the drone was shot down, their faces were blue.

"Too much deception!" Ruan Guangfu slapped the table angrily.

"Why don't we ......," said one man, clenching his fists.

However, his proposal was immediately opposed by another person: "No, it is now equipped with a lot of Fire Dragon 480s, and our command center is within the coverage area." ”

The others also suddenly became cold with their hands and feet, and with the patrol ships in their hands, it was estimated that they would not be able to withstand even a saturation blow.

The Fire Dragon 480 is a super-large caliber long-range rocket with a range of about 480 kilometers and an error of about 15 meters.

Not to mention the patrol ship, even if the aircraft carrier is close to within 480 kilometers, it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape death, after all, no matter how awesome the anti-missile system is, it will not be able to withstand a saturation strike.

Ruan Guangfu looked at Huayang Reef, which had begun to take shape, and now felt that it was very tricky, and there was no way to stop it, but if it was allowed to continue, the scale of the other party would definitely expand rapidly.

You must know that Ho Chi Minh City in Annam is about 700 kilometers away from Huayang Reef.

Another artificial island under construction, Hoa Hoa Island, is closer to Ho Chi Minh City, less than 350 kilometers away, which is a close face.

"We have to find a way to stop each other, or we will have no place to stand."

"But what can we do to stop it?"

Several surrounding countries, whether it is Luzon or Malaysia, are also confused at this time.

The main reason is that the construction of the artificial island is so fast that they can't even react, and the artificial island appears on their doorstep.

By the time they sent people to "watch", the black hole was already on top of their heads, and the majestic strength of 360 millimeters could make people tremble at 480 kilometers, not to mention that they had already held their heads.

Just as they were helpless and didn't want to retreat, a tropical cyclone appeared in the tropical ocean of the western Pacific.

The typhoon, named "Whale", is approaching Luzon from the western Pacific Ocean, and according to data from meteorological satellites, there are also predicted paths given by meteorological research agencies in various countries.

The whales will pass through southern Luzon and then into the South China Sea before landing in Qiongzhou or Annam.

As soon as the typhoon warning signal was issued, ships close to the Spratly Islands had to turn back or seek safe haven nearby.

As for sailing on typhoon days, it is estimated that the insurance company does not want to compensate for accident insurance, because it is playing with life.

Typhoon Whale, a basin of cold water temporarily suppressed the tense atmosphere, and everyone hurriedly drove the boat to avoid the wind, except for the mouth cannon, it can also be like this

……

Huayang Reef.

Through the terahertz base station, Zhang Wei sent a broadcast to Chinese ships in the South China Sea, informing them that Typhoon Whale would pass through the South China Sea on June 25~27, so that all ships could take shelter from the wind.

The personnel stationed at Huayang Reef also quickly mobilized to reinforce the seawall with the remaining rock-forming agent.

It is a haven in the north side of the "earth" type.

Of course, it has not been completed yet, although some of the port supporting facilities are not yet equipped, but they will be used, and it is okay.

One by one, the berths were cleared and ready to be temporarily berthed for passing vessels.

The specifications of the haven are that it can resist high-intensity typhoons, after all, this is a dual-use port, and the level is naturally very high.

Takahara commanded the crew, inspecting the docks for the improvised facilities, at least the reinforced concrete pillars used to tie the cables, to make sure they could be used.

25th, morning.

Typhoon Whale has already crossed southern Luzon, and its periphery is already approaching near Huayang Reef.

Gao Yuan, Zhang Wei and others were in the typhoon prevention office of the Marine Department.

More than 20 boats, large and small, have been moored in the harbor, most of them fishing boats.

The sweltering heat before the storm, as well as the seagulls and small frigate birds circling in the harbor, many fishermen have been arranged to emergency shelters on the island.

Li Qing, an old fisherman from the Leizhou Peninsula, was tying up a rope with a few men.

"Whew!" Li Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the air on the east side, at this time, the dark cloud had appeared in sight.

Another old fellow tied up the cable: "A typhoon is coming." ”

"Let's go, go inside."

"When did the public build this wharf?"

"It seems like a month ago."

"It's a solid ground."

Li Qing pointed to the lid of the radar pot not far away, and said in a low voice: "This is a military standard, can it not be strong!" ”

"That's just as well."

When the group entered the emergency shelter, there were already many fishermen resting in it, and many of these sea runners were familiar with each other.

Everyone was chatting, and the dark clouds had not arrived outside, and the wind had already arrived first.

Outside the sheltered harbor, the wind swept the waves and crashed against the seawall, and shivering seabirds landed on the island's buildings.

Human beings are still so small and fragile in the face of this great force of nature.

The wind and waves became more and more turbulent, and the sky was now dark.

At this time, a cruise ship was on the sea 37 kilometers away from Huayang Reef, and huge waves covered the sky and the sun hit the cruise ship.

Captain Shigechi Mishima was sweating profusely and swinging the rudder: "Damn it! ”

"Captain, we're finished." The second mate, Daisa Muto, looked desperate.

Three days ago, they received an international broadcast from the Toei Meteorological Agency, and the confident Mishima Shigechi determined that the Sapphire Princess could reach Ho Chi Minh City on the 25th.

As a result, people are not as good as heaven, and the Sapphire Princess had a power failure halfway through, and is now being dragged in the waters of the hinterland of the South China Sea.

At this time, the typhoon whale was already rapidly approaching the Sapphire Princess.

"Muto, see if there are any islands nearby where you can shelter from the wind, otherwise we will all ......"

However, before he could finish speaking, Muto Dainori denied it: "Captain, there is not a single island around that can provide a safe haven for the Sapphire Princess. ”

Mishima Shigechi scolded angrily: "Yagaya Road, it's better to find the largest island quickly than to sink at the bottom of the sea." ”

"Hey!"

"Captain, it's not good."

"What's the bad news?"

"Our maritime communications signal was cut off, and our GPS was unstable."

Mishima's face couldn't help but look ugly, the thick typhoon clouds in the sky have seriously affected the work of the satellite.

And ships sailing in the deep sea can only rely on satellites in the sky.
