Chapter 764: Superyacht

A large yacht is speeding at high speed on the sea, and the yacht is very stable in low-level sea conditions.

This superyacht called "Tangnu Ulianghai" is built by the yacht division of the five-star shipyard, the shipyard is 101 meters, with a sharp knife surface shape, equipped with the most powerful yacht power system developed so far by the Red Power Research Institute of the Red Group, with a maximum speed of 40 knots per hour (about 74 kilometers per hour)!

The Tangnu Ulianghai is not only the largest yacht in Greater China, but also the fastest yacht in Asia. It has a helipad that can take off and land light helicopters, and as a superyacht, it has a restaurant, bar, spa, cinema, gymnasium, Class A golf ...... It even includes an infirmary that could be the equivalent of a field medical station.

This yacht was ordered to be built by Li Mai when he founded the Gun Group Construction Group, and he was originally the majority shareholder of the five-star shipyard, which spent more than a year to build this superyacht with a standard of craftsmanship that exceeds that of ordinary warships.

For this, Li Mai spent 7. 700,000,000,000 soft currency. And that's not even counting the equipped Z-11 light helicopters.

Originally, it was intended to be used as a family yacht, but later Nankai Company was established, and it was simply used as a high-end business yacht for the company.

↑ This time he went to sea, Li Mai chose the Tangnu Ulianghai, because the Tangnu Ulianghai uses a terrifying power combination of gas turbine + electric propulsion, so it has reached a speed comparable to that of a hovercraft!

These indicators completely surpass the military speedboats of the same displacement - in fact, the length of a ship of 100 meters has already significantly exceeded the Navy's Type 056 corvettes!

Some people say that the Tangnu Ulianghai is the flagship of Li Mai's private navy, which is not unfounded. The yacht service department of Nankai Company has 18 large and small yachts of various types used for rent, while the Gun Group Fishing Company has more than 500 large and small fishing boats, and the fishing boat division of the five-star shipyard is constantly making dumplings.

If calculated by tonnage, the navies of many countries in Southeast Asia are not as good as Li Mai's fleet!

On this voyage, Li Mai will conduct his first on-the-spot investigation of the northern waters of the South China Sea, mainly with a few islands and reefs as the center, with a radius of 100 nautical miles. It's also a place where offshore fishing boats often operate, and it's also the place where news about current events is most likely to occur.

The Tangnu Ulianghai sped past several fishing boats at high speed, attracting the attention of the crew of the fishing boats.

On the observation deck of the shipbuilding, Li Mai stood there with his legs crossed, and He Jun stood beside him, highly concentrated, ready to protect Li Mai at any time. Zhang Zhonghua stood on the other side, holding on to the railing, constantly scanning the surrounding sea. Chen Yunyun and several men and women from various departments sat on the chairs on either side, greedily enjoying the sea and sky in the morning.

Li Mai picked up the binoculars and looked at the fishing boats working nearby, but found that almost all of them were his own fishing boats. The nose string of the fishing boats of the Gun Group Fishery Company will be marked with the word "QT" in front of it, which is very conspicuous.

The fishing boat didn't know the Tangnu Ulianghai, because Li Mai had never been to the fishing company, so he let Pei Xiaoshuai take care of it.

Li Mai looked at the crew of the fishing boat with curiosity, compared to those offshore fishing boats, the Tangnu Ulianghai is a veritable behemoth.

"Put the captain into cruising mode. Li Mai's gaze moved to the island and reef in front of him, and said to He Jun beside him.

He Jun immediately used a wireless headset to inform the captain that the Tangnu Wulianghai quickly turned off the gas turbine unit, used pure electric propulsion, and entered the cruising state. It should be pointed out that even with pure electric propulsion, the Tangnu Ulianghai can run at a high speed of 28 knots per hour. That's about the same speed as a destroyer.

The Tangnu Ulianghai has entered the 18-section economic cruising state, and everyone's mood has shifted from excitement to gentleness, and they are more comfortable enjoying the blue sky, white clouds and blue sea.

Li Mai let the boat sail along the edge of several small islands and reefs, observing the surrounding situation while sketching out his own development blueprint in his mind.

Zhang Zhonghua introduced on the side, "The first two islands and reefs are in the second auction sequence. The two reefs are actually part of the same parcel. According to our preliminary estimates, if land reclamation is carried out, more than 2,000 acres of artificial islands can be created with two islands and reefs as the base point. That's about one-third the size of Sara Island. ”

"It's a relatively good location, with international routes passing through, and it has the conditions to become a temporary anchor island for ocean-going cruise ships, but then the investment will increase accordingly. According to your idea, you need to build a terminal that can berth 10,000 tons of cruise ships, and the investment will be very large. ”

Nanhai Province and Nangang City have jointly established the Port and Sea Marine Tourism Resources Development and Management Company, which is responsible for the utilization and development of tourism resources in the South China Sea. The port and sea company took over the auction of the Nangang Municipal Government, and the second auction to be held will mainly focus on islands and reefs, because many islands suitable for human habitation are for military purposes, so in fact, if you want to develop and use the islands in the South China Sea, the whole process needs to be coordinated with the military, which is very complicated.

And the islands and reefs that have no profit in the eyes of others are fragrant and sweet in the eyes of Li Mai. The main thing is that his ultimate goal is different from other people's. In the eyes of others, what is the commercial value of an island that is difficult to spread out and spends ten hours a day under the surface?

The Nangang city government has also issued policies to allow land reclamation of islands and reefs to expand the usable area, but land reclamation projects need to be strictly reviewed by relevant authorities.

Even so, many tourism development companies are interested in too much because they are investing too much and are not confident about recovering their costs. Near-shore land reclamation and development are so cautious, let alone offshore islands and reefs hundreds of nautical miles from land.

How much money can you make?

Li Mai doesn't have these concerns, he is actually even prepared to have no income for ten years, anyway, his funds are abundant, and he has the courage to invest a lot of money.

Therefore, in the final decision to participate in the second auction, there are only two local tourism development companies in Nangang, Nankai Company and Nangang China Travel.

After turning around, Li Mai said, "Drive forward." ”

At this time, the bow of the Tangnu Ulianghai was pointing southwest.

He Jun was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Captain, further forward is the disputed sea area." ”

Shaking his head, Li Mai said, "No, that's our territorial waters." With all the documents and a license issued by the Coast Guard, we can move unimpeded in our territorial waters. ”

He Jun didn't say anything anymore, nodded, and gave the captain an order over the walkie-talkie: "Keep course." ”

The Tangnu Ulianghai sailed towards the southwest at a cruising speed of 18 knots, and everyone on board could not have imagined that this action would give them a thrilling experience......
