"No, it's still inappropriate. This design is too large and may not be reliable." Chen Rong shook his head.
"Afraid of shoddy construction?" Qin Tao smiled: "Then we can make this base out of steel."
"Steel is even worse. It is easily corroded by sea water and will not last for up to ten years."
"Ten years? Five years is enough." Qin Tao said: "In five years, this place will definitely become a larger island. That's it, steel base, concrete building. In this way, we are here It can be more precise when welding the base, and it will be more secure when it is installed.”
"A bigger island? How big?" Chen Rong asked.
"Wait, let me think about it."
What does think mean? Everyone was puzzled.
Qin Tao finished thinking and said solemnly: "This Subi Reef will be upgraded to Subi Island in the future. The area will be expanded to more than 4 square kilometers. It will have a complete airport runway and become the second largest island in the South China Sea."
What?
Several people were shocked.
Now, the largest island in the southern sea is Taiping Island, with an area of only 0.44 square kilometers. Mr. Qin actually said that the small reef he just passed by will become an island ten times the size of Taiping Island? Is there an airport runway up there?
Isn't this incredible?
"So big, or second?" Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but ask.
"That's right."
"What about number one?"
"First, of course, is the destination we want to go to. It must not only have a runway, but also be able to take off and land large transport aircraft." Qin Tao said.
Amid everyone's surprise, Experiment 3 finally arrived at Shuangsha Island. Because the time was right, it happened to be night when they arrived.
"The specific shape of Shuangsha Island is a ring. This island is really good. If it can be expanded into the largest island in the future, it can definitely serve as the outpost of our navy in the southern seas. This island and reef is simply an excellent harbor. , our Navy’s 022 missile boats can go in and out in groups.”
After getting the detailed survey map, Qin Tao was extremely emotional.
To describe it specifically, Shuangsha Island resembles the hoofs of an ancient cavalry mount. It is about 9 kilometers long and only 6 kilometers wide at its widest point. After high tide, most of it is under the sea water.
"Yes, this is indeed a good place, especially on the west side. There is an area the same as Subi Reef. We can follow our example and build this place into an outpost." Chen Rong pointed to the area on the left side of the figure and said.
Qin Tao shook his head: "No, we can't move there, the outpost must be established in the north."
"Why?" Chen Rong was a little curious.
"Because the place on the left is used to build the airport runway." Qin Tao said: "If we build the outpost there, it will delay the construction of the airport runway."
Airport Runway?
Has Mr. Qin really planned it?
"Okay." Chen Rong nodded. Now he admired Qin Tao very much. Qin Tao would do whatever he said and would not refuse.
"The runway of this airport can be built to about 2,600 meters, so that if necessary, our An-225 transport aircraft can also take off and land on it."
(There should be no problem in calculating the data, but I don’t know if it will be easy to turn around.)
"On both sides of the airport runway, in addition to building various facilities, we must also build several rows of green belts to prevent storms at sea. Our island must be able to withstand storms above Category 9."
"We can divide most of the remaining area into two parts. One part will be used as a residence for officers and soldiers, and the other part will be built as a special village."
"village?"
"Yes, we are here to develop this place peacefully. Since this is an island, of course it needs a dedicated village."
Xu Zhengyang couldn't help it anymore and reminded Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, it's hard to leave your homeland. It will be difficult to get people to move here. Unless the state provides high subsidies."
"Zhengyang, you have to use your brain when doing things!" Qin Tao looked at Xu Zhengyang: "If it's permanent, then even the dog won't come."
After saying that, he felt that this sentence was inappropriate. Why didn't the dogs come? On the last reef, Dahei was there.
"However, we can attract tourists to come here!" Qin Tao said: "The islands we have spent a lot of money to build are not only used as defense fortifications, but can also be used to make money! We can completely turn this island into a tourist attraction. Tink becomes a resort!”
Over the next few years, maritime tourism will gradually rise, and the tourism craze in the Maldives has never diminished.
Now, wherever you go to the Maldives, we have it in our own country!
"We will plant a large number of coconut trees on the island to turn it into a tropical island. When tourists come, they can also dive and find corals."
Although the outer ring will be expanded into islands, what about the inside of this ring-shaped island reef?
The corals inside are definitely there, and a part of the area is specially set aside for tourists to use. As long as it is run well, it can definitely become a place that everyone yearns for!
"Hey, there seems to be a fishing boat ahead?" At this moment, Qin Tao looked outside and found a light in the distance. There is no lighthouse here, so it can only be a fishing boat.
"Yes, the vicinity of the coral reef is also a place where various marine fish live. The fishery resources here are very rich."
"This is even better. We can also carry out breeding activities." Qin Tao said: "Even if the tourism industry cannot develop, we must first develop the breeding industry."
Humans have overfished the sea, resulting in fewer and fewer fish in the sea. Therefore, fishermen will continue to change, from fishing at the beginning to fish farming, placing fish boxes in the sea, and engaging in production activities.
Since the coral reef is suitable for fish farming, then the fish farming industry should also be opened and vigorously developed.
In this way, the plan will be more complete.
Experiment No. 3 avoided the fishing boat at a distance to avoid being dragged by the fishing boat's fishing nets, and continued to sail south, continuing to circle around the nearby waters without making a sound.
A few days later.
Qiongzhou, rainforest base.
This is an important naval base of the Southern Fleet and the closest to the front.
A large number of naval officers gathered here. They stood on the dock and looked into the distance, where Experiment 3 was moving over.
After the ship stopped, Qin Tao looked at the people below and shook his head helplessly: "Your formation is really too big, I don't even dare to get down."
"Mr. Qin, is there anything else you dare not do?"
"Of course, I'm very timid."
"Dear leaders, we have successfully completed our mission and returned." Chen Rong walked down and said to the crowd, but his confidence was a bit lacking.
"Everyone has worked hard. How about taking a rest today and making a formal report tomorrow?"
"Of course not. Isn't this a delay? I'm still anxious..." Qin Tao saw the sudden change in his father-in-law's face and quickly changed his words: "We can't let the leaders wait. We have formulated a perfect action plan, just wait. I’m reporting to the leader.”
That's pretty much it! Wu Shengli's expression softened.
Base conference room.
"The specific situation of Shuangsha Island is very good. We have carried out complete surveying and mapping without alerting irrelevant personnel. After the surveying and mapping, Mr. Qin gave us a suggestion to quickly build an outpost. We can start suddenly and use prefabricated parts. Quickly establish our outpost on Shuangsha Island."
"Construct quickly?" Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao with interest: "What suggestions does Mr. Qin have this time?"
"Dear leaders, I am just joining in the fun. I would like to ask Mr. Chen to introduce the specific plan to you."
Qin Tao sat on the chair and had already closed his eyes to rest. When he heard what he said, Wu Shengli frowned again. You kid, you have never been seasick before. What are you pretending to do now?
"To be specific, we are building third-generation island and reef outposts with prefabricated parts." Chen Rong continued: "We have mapped the locations of the islands and reefs where outposts need to be built. By the way, let's hang up the charts for everyone first."
Chen Rong was a little confused. When he hung the picture on the blackboard in front of him, he found that it was wrong.
It's not a preliminary drawing, but a finished drawing.
"Sorry, I made the wrong call." Chen Rong said about changing, but was interrupted by Wu Shengli.
"Let me tell you about this picture first."
"Okay, this island will expand into an island with an area of about 5.6 square kilometers. The west side is the airport runway, and the east side is divided into two parts. One part is the naval barracks, and the other part is Shuangsha Island Resort and Fishing Village."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked.
Not only this island with an area of 5.6 square kilometers, but also this resort fishing village, I have never heard of it.
Although Qin Tao had mentioned the reclamation of islands to Wu Shengli before, Wu Shengli had never heard of building a village on it!
"Taozi, why did you build this village?"
"Here, please go to Mr. Chen..."
"You tell me!"
"We established an outpost on Shuangsha Island for the peaceful development of Shuangsha Island. In the future, we will build it into a tourist attraction like the Maldives and an important marine fishery breeding base. This is also what we are doing for What a contribution to protecting the sea." Qin Tao said: "The construction there is for civilian purposes, and we are messengers of peace."
"You kid, you really have a lot of clever ideas."
Hearing what Qin Tao said, Wu Shengli finally understood and couldn't help but sigh. When it comes to using various means, his son-in-law is definitely the best. In this way, many problems can be solved and he will be more confident.
"However, we have no experience in this kind of tourism development. Especially, we need reliable people to do it." Someone raised a question.
After all, this resort fishing village is an auxiliary, that is, a cover. Since there is this village, there must be someone. The question is, who will manage it? Who will be the village chief?
It must be someone who is capable and someone who is loyal to the motherland!
After Qin Tao finished explaining, he squinted his eyes again to dawdle. Anyway, all the plans were made, and Gong Chen just introduced him. Qin Tao had no intention of stealing Gong Chen's limelight.
Wait, something seems wrong?
Are everyone's eyes staring at me?
"Taozi, are you, the Mingzhou Group, interested?"
"What interest?"
"Develop Shuangsha Island."
"We are a shipping group, engaged in heavy industry, not tourism."
“Aren’t you diversifying your operations?”
"The company has not yet..."
When he said this, Qin Tao stopped. He already felt the disharmonious atmosphere. He glanced at his father-in-law, and then changed his words: "Okay, okay, our company has contracted the contract. From now on, this village will be named under Qiongzhou." , but we are responsible for the specific management.”
Those who can do more work. In fact, if developed, it may become a new source of profit for the company.
"Our company is responsible for construction. On that land, we built a three-story B&B and a two-story villa. I happened to build one too. Every summer, I take my wife and children here to travel for a few days... I am here There is also a yacht abroad that just happened to be back and docked at the port here."
Qin Tao talked endlessly about the plan.
"Okay, that's enough. This project will be handed over to your company. There is no need to tell you how to do it specifically here."
Qin Tao glanced at his father-in-law with dissatisfaction, "It's you who asked me to talk, and it's you who didn't let me talk!"
"Mr. Qin, when will the dredger be built?" other leaders asked.
"It seems that the water has already been launched. If we install equipment and other things, it will definitely be completed by the end of this year."
"Well, once it's completed, start expanding the island immediately. Next year, your company will be able to expand its business there. By the way, isn't it the wrong picture? Let's talk about the near future first."
"The recent pictures are here." Chen Rong hung up another picture.
"In the northeast corner, we will build the reef post first. This post is planned to be the size of a football field, with two-story barracks and single-story houses on both sides, all made of concrete..."
"Wait a minute, how did you build this? Do we have the ability? We must be down-to-earth in our work." A leader of the local navy fleet immediately began to criticize.
"Yes, the second-generation reef outpost we are building now is a waste of a lot of effort. The one you designed is simply to place satellites!"
unrealistic!
"This design plan was proposed by President Qin. It is expected that the construction work will be completed within an hour, and then it will spread to other reef outposts, all of which will be transformed in this way."
Some people are questioning, and some are curious.
"Mr. Qin proposed it? Mr. Qin, how do you want to make it?"
"Let's invite Mr. Chen..." Before Qin Tao could finish his words, he saw the serious look from Wu Shengli, so he could only change his words: "Okay, let me introduce it. Our buildings use prefabricated parts, and Mr. Chen obviously I’ve said it before, don’t you listen nicely…”
"We completed the construction work of each part on land in advance. The weight of each part does not exceed two hundred tons, including the base, second floor, bungalow, etc. We use high-strength steel welding for the base, and the other parts Use concrete.”
"The top of the base is flat, which is convenient for building construction. The bottom is an irregular figure, which is mainly made according to the surveyed reef shape. In this way, as long as the base is buckled up, it can be placed on the reef. It sets up a platform perfectly.”
"To put it nicely, how do you plan to transport a base the size of a football field?"
"We built a gantry crane transportation and installation ship for Zhenhua Heavy Industry, and that ship will be ready for trial sea trials next month."
Construction, transportation, all kinds of problems are solved!
Everyone's eyes changed from initial confusion to belief, and then to surprise.
"Mr. Qin is asking Foolish Old Man to move mountains!"
"That's right, Yu Old Man Moves Mountains, okay, okay!"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Just now they thought they were just launching satellites and bragging. Now, they finally found out that this plan can be realized, which made them full of excitement.
"It's not just Shuangsha Island. Because our ships are relatively large, we can transport several at one time. In this way, several major reefs can expand the base and provide a better living environment for the officers and soldiers." Qin Thao continued.
"That's right, great!"
"Mr. Qin, after the meeting is over, I'll treat you to a drink!"
"Yes, on behalf of the officers and soldiers guarding the reef, thank you Mingzhou Group!"
"What's that next to it?" Everyone was in surprise. Only Wu Shengli remained rational. He looked around the construction camp. There seemed to be arrangements?
"Next to it are two prepared platforms, both of which are the size of football fields." Qin Tao couldn't continue to squint his eyes and stay out of the matter, so he simply explained to everyone.
"The prepared platform is the size of a football field?"
"Yes, these two platforms are used as training grounds for soldiers in normal times." Qin Tao said: "Once there is a situation, they can play a greater role."
"These two platforms can be used as helicopter landing platforms!"
Sure enough, someone noticed it.
In the event of an emergency, helicopters can be deployed there!
"Helicopters are useless!" Another leader said: "Once we encounter a situation, we need fighter jets. Unfortunately, our planes are too far away and beyond our reach! When the flying leopards are finalized in the future, they can be deployed in our There is Lingshui Airport behind the base, but it will take an hour or two for the Flying Leopard fighter-bombers to get there."
The Feibao is still undergoing a long test flight. This fighter jet, which is completely free from copycats, has too many problems to overcome during the test flight. Even if it is to be put into service in the future, it will be too far to take off from Qiongzhou.
"If there were a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet..." Someone finally proposed this idea, and then everyone else became excited.
Yes, if we have this kind of platform, then we can deploy vertical take-off and landing aircraft there! Although the J-31 is still under development, they also have a modified version of the Yak-38 pretending to be the J-31.
The Siam Navy accepted it with satisfaction, indicating that the combat effectiveness after the modification is still acceptable.
Everyone finally thought of this, and Qin Tao was very satisfied: "On these platforms, we will lay refractory bricks in advance. At the same time, we will also prepare several containers and place them next to the platforms. They are usually inconspicuous. At critical times, the containers will be opened. , we can complete the maintenance and repairs, and we can temporarily set up a tent as a hangar."
Is a vertical take-off and landing fighter aircraft useful to the motherland?
Qin Tao's answer is yes.
On the vast sea of the motherland, on these islands, as long as there is a platform, you can take off and land at any time to protect the sea and air of the motherland!
(Some readers previously objected greatly and argued that vertical take-off and landing fighter jets are useless. Amphibious assault ships can just carry helicopters. However, East China Heroes still plans to develop this kind of aircraft. No matter how awesome helicopters are, they cannot compete with fixed-wing fighter jets. Confrontation. Our navy has a small number of aircraft carriers. At critical times, if it is necessary to improve its air superiority combat capabilities, vertical take-off and landing fighter jets can still be useful. Besides, if we need to face some second- and third-rate countries, we do not need to dispatch aircraft carriers and conduct amphibious assaults. Can the warship shake the scene? No matter how useless the power is, it still has a generation advantage when facing third-generation aircraft such as the MiG-29. Moreover, the preparations for the Hero of East China are all for the current use. There are several vertical take-off and landing fighter jets on our island, which can definitely play an important role.)
"Air defense is also a problem. What if we are attacked by a sneak attack or bombed?"
"If we really want to deploy, then we must bring the HQ-7 over. If the other side dares to bomb them, we will use missiles to kill them! Of course, the HQ-16 is better, but I think it is not necessarily that bad. These are the last resort."
The work has to be done bit by bit, and the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time.
Qin Tao didn't go into more details. Everyone was experienced.
It would be too hasty to deploy the Yak-38 as soon as possible, and it would be easy for others to create public opinion.
Just past, it was just an outpost. If someone wanted to find trouble and sent a warship over, then our side would also send a warship over. If the other side sent out aircraft, then our side would deploy aircraft, little by little.
"If it's the worst case scenario, then we'll mobilize our 115th ship." Qin Tao said, "We can always be prepared for unexpected events."
With the construction of two anti-aircraft destroyers, the Navy will be more confident when performing various tasks.
Wu Shengli nodded.
In fact, the navy certainly has its own plan, but Qin Tao's plan is obviously more reasonable and will cause less noise. At first, some people felt that it was useless to follow Qin Tao out for inspection, but Wu Shengli insisted that Qin Tao go. Now it seems that this request is very necessary.
When this plan is combined with the Navy's original plan, a more perfect plan can be made.
"Now, we are ready for everything, we just need the east wind."
"What Dongfeng?"
"We always need a reason to go over there." Qin Tao said: "When did a storm blow over there? We need to announce it to the public. The storm caused heavy losses. A fishing boat capsized at Shuangsha Island. Unfortunately, several fishermen died."
Wu Shengli's eyes widened again.
In this way, the plan will be completely flawless! There must always be a reason for everything, and the reason Qin Tao proposed is absolutely appropriate!
"Mr. Qin, your plan is so perfect." Someone expressed the same emotion.
Qin Tao looked at Chen Rong with apologetic eyes. I don't want to steal your limelight. I just plan to quietly close my eyes and rest here. I can't help it. These people all want to listen to me!
Chen Rong smiled. In fact, he had known this would happen for a long time. Seeing Mr. Qin's style with his own eyes, Chen Rong was also very emotional.
