Warship of Great Power

Chapter 466: The Miracle of the Great Wall of Sand

  Chapter 466 The Miracle of the Great Wall of Sha

On the 138th, it entered the floating dock of Shenzhou. This floating dock has now become the most famous floating dock in the country, and even the most famous floating dock in the world. The chicken man has nothing to say.

   After returning, the floating dock was idle for several months, and this time, it was used again.

  After all, the other docks are busy, some are building ships, some are repairing ships, only this floating dock is still empty, and it just happens to be used this time.

  Mutisin's eyes were full of anticipation, and when he saw the cruiser slowly move into the floating dock, he became excited.

   Finally got it. From this day on, he will watch the warship slowly transform into the design drawing. Thinking of the combat effectiveness after improvement, he is very looking forward to it.

  In the distance, frigate No. 054 also completed the sea trial project and returned to the outfitting dock. Many people disembarked from the warship, much more than those who set off.

  Qin Tao accompanied a group of leaders to the pier. Almost all the leaders were looking at Dawu in unison. Qin Tao knew what they were looking at.

"Leaders, the engine is currently being installed on that ship, and the derusting operation will be finished soon." Qin Tao can only report the progress to the leaders: "If the leaders can stay in our shipyard for dinner, after the meal You can go and see."

   "I heard that the food at Mingzhou Shipyard is very good, we are lucky." The big leader made his statement immediately, as if forgetting that today's schedule has been completely disrupted.

Therefore, Qin Tao could only quickly arrange for people to prepare dinner, and at the same time report the progress of the Mingzhou Group. At night, he took a group of leaders up to have a look, and then he accompanied the leaders and let them leave with satisfaction. .

A few days later, frigate No. 500 successfully completed all sea trial missions and began to sail south to the base of the Southern Fleet. Qin Tao also went south during this time period. Of course, he will not follow slowly. Went with the warship.

   "It's a pity that the runway of the airport is not long enough. Otherwise, our An-225 transport plane can transport hundreds of tons of materials at a time." Qin Tao said to Xu Zhengyang beside him as he walked on Yunba.

  Xu Zhengyang nodded: "Yes, the area of ​​dredging and reclamation is still not big enough, do you want to continue construction?"

Qin Tao shook his head: "In order to avoid irritating some people, let's forget it. After all, the runway of 2,600 meters is not short. We went this time for the construction of Shuangsha Island Fishing Resort. Developed there and passed."

  Xu Zhengyang looked at the supplies being transported on the plane, with a complicated expression on his face.

  A few days ago, the hardening of the airport's runway was finally over. It was only at this time that the outside world knew what Shuangsha Island, which could only accommodate stilt houses, has become now.

  They were extremely shocked, but there was no other way, after all, these had already been built!

Although the runway has been established, no aircraft has been deployed so far. This Yunba is the first transport aircraft to fly over, and the transportation is all prepared for the Shuangsha Island Fishing Resort. Therefore, No one else could say anything.

  The transport plane took off from the airport and flew south all the way, much faster than sailing at sea.

   "The port already has more than a dozen berths, and your yacht is there." Xu Zhengyang continued to tell Qin Tao about the island on the plane.

"Okay, it's not easy for us to go there, so we might as well shoot some videos and make a promotional video for Shuangsha Island Fishing Resort after we go back. In the future, don't go to Maldives for tourism, it's good to visit our island. "

   Time passed a little bit, and in the afternoon of that day, I flew over Shuangsha Island.

   If viewed from the sky, Shuangsha Island is very beautiful.

   This is a ring-shaped island, somewhat resembling an apple. It is at the northwest corner of the island and has the widest width. The slanted runway looks very spectacular.

  The length of the runway is 2660 meters and the width is 55 meters. It is really unrealistic to take off and land the An-225, but it is easy for Yunba with a load capacity of only 20 tons.

   When the plane stopped, a group of people rushed over from the side of the runway.

   "Boss Qin, welcome to Shuangsha Island!" Lin Liang was the first to greet him. He is the village head here, and according to the public announcement, he can also be regarded as the island owner here.

   "You have worked hard." Qin Tao held Lin Liang's hand.

   "It's not hard, we also came here a week ago." Lin Liang said: "We are setting up a fish breeding base, Mr. Qin, I will show you there later!"

  Qin Tao nodded.

  Because it was for civilian purposes, the soldiers guarding Shuangsha Island did not come up to greet them. They just lined up in a neat line and walked heroically.

  That kind of vigor is indescribably magnificent.

  When they first came here, they could only roll up their trouser legs and walk around the reef in the sea, quite a bit, now? They can run around the reef for a 30-kilometer cross-country trip!

  Here has become an island.

   Zhang Haiyang, who watched the transformation process here with his own eyes, felt indescribably happy.

   "Platoon Leader Zhang, or Company Commander Zhang, come here!"

  Hearing Qin Tao's words, Zhang Haiyang rushed over: "Mr. Qin, welcome to Shuangsha Island. What's your order? Our military and civilian fish and water situation..."

   "Forget it, let's not be polite about this." Qin Tao said: "How many vehicles do you have for the troops stationed on the island?"

There must have been no cars in the past. After all, it is not convenient to walk across the water. What is needed is a boat instead of a car. However, with the completion of the reclamation and the progress of construction, the area has developed and the area is quite large. It is true that there is no car. inconvenient.

   "Currently we only have two Black King Kongs, which are definitely not comparable to your car, but if you want to use them, I will leave these two cars to you." Zhang Haiyang said.

   "Why do I want that thing?" Qin Tao realized that Zhang Haiyang would have misunderstood him: "I want a big car!"

   "For big cars, we have five Dongfeng 240s." Zhang Haiyang looked at Qin Tao in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do.

   "Okay, drive these cars to the runway, wait for our plane to fly away, and place them evenly across the runway."

   "Why?" Zhang Haiyang was curious.

"Why?"

   "Why? Have you heard of the Davidic Uganda operation?"

  Davidians, Operation Uganda?

  Zhang Haiyang thought for a while, and then said: "Of course I know, this is a successful rescue operation by the special forces, and it is simply a template for the special forces of various countries! Back then, the Davids took a plane and forcibly landed at Entebbe Airport."

  When he said this, he suddenly reacted: "Mr. Qin, are you worried that someone will suddenly land on our airport?"

  Qin Tao nodded.

  Zhang Haiyang felt the sweat on his back swishing out. If President Qin hadn't reminded him, he would have almost ignored this danger.

  They have already responded. For example, they have set up a turret position at two corners of the airport, and the 630 naval guns are squatting directly on it to prevent unexpected situations. Moreover, there are people on duty there during the day and night.

   Can this guarantee safety?

   Of course not!

  What if there is an unexpected accident on the plane?

  For example, some planes suddenly encountered an accident during the flight and requested to make an emergency landing here? Just like when the Davids went to Uganda to rescue the hostages, they drove the plane to land forcibly. Because it was a civilian plane, no one dared to intercept it, otherwise it might cause vicious incidents and be cast aside by the whole world.

  At that time, they could only let the other party land. As a result, after landing, they directly drove the tanks off the plane, and a large group of armed men came down. They might not be able to handle it!

   Once this happens, they will become sinners!

This cannot be blamed on Zhang Haiyang. This tactic was only used by the Davids, and it did not appear later. Therefore, Zhang Haiyang did not pay attention to it. After the 21st century, many troops have used this classic tactic. The opponent's airport, and then directly drove the vehicle to charge, and directly performed a beheading operation.

   So, how to solve it?

  It's actually very simple, as long as you use a car to block the runway, the problem can be solved.

The runway was divided into several sections. Even the American MC-130J special aircraft would never land. The result of the forced landing was that it directly hit a certain car during the landing process, and then turned into a ball. fireball.

  Helicopter?

  There is no reason for the helicopter!

  The other party falsely used the excuse of a civil aircraft, and there was a breakdown, and it had to land, so it was justifiable.

Helicopters are different. Once a helicopter fails, it crashes immediately. If it can fly, there is no need to fly here. Moreover, if it is a helicopter, the range will not be too far, and the carrying capacity will not be too high. Really When you get down by helicopter, it is easy to be dumped by the troops guarding the island and reef.

  The roar of the engine sounded, and the cargo loaded by Yunba had been unloaded, and the plane flew into the sky again.

  As soon as the plane left the runway, five Dongfeng EQ240 trucks drove onto the runway, arranged in a staggered manner, so that potential threats disappeared without a trace.

   Seeing that the car was properly arranged, Zhang Haiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Qin, thanks to your arrival, otherwise, we will always have hidden dangers."

   "Guarding our islands and reefs is a great responsibility, and there is no room for slack, especially now that the area of ​​Shuangsha Island has expanded. We can't let what happened five years ago happen again!"

  Talking about what happened five years ago, Zhang Haiyang's heart also became heavy: "Yes, we have great responsibilities, and we must not relax in the slightest!"

   "Actually, you have done a good job." Seeing the other party's nervousness, Qin Tao patted him on the shoulder again: "Work hard, and don't have any accidents before leaving the island."

   After telling Zhang Haiyang to talk, Qin Tao continued talking to Lin Liang.

  Just now, Lin Liang didn't intervene, because he knew how many dangers he was facing here, and he also knew how difficult it was to develop the islands and reefs here, and it was necessary to plan ahead.

   "Boss Qin, our car is a bit crude." Lin Liang said to Qin Tao.

   Simple?

  Qin Tao looked curiously at a convertible not far away: "Electric?"

   “Yes, we are far away from the mainland, and fuel is precious, so, here we are, we use a lot of solar panels, and these panels can charge our cars, so we can save energy.”

   This kind of car is very similar to the electric sightseeing car in the later generations of tourist areas. It can seat three or four people in a row, and there are seven or eight rows in front and back. It is quite spacious and bright.

   "That's right, your idea is very good." Qin Tao said: "Zhengyang, ask a photographer to take pictures. When we publicize in the future, we can also be regarded as an outstanding contribution to environmental protection!"

  Big guy is of course not for the reason of environmental protection, but to save money. Domestic diesel oil costs three yuan a liter, but when transported here, the transportation cost will be three or four yuan, and the oil price will double. It is very important to be able to use electric vehicles and save some fuel.

  However, when these things came to Qin Tao's mouth, they became grand.

  We are for the environment!

   "Yes, we are for environmental protection." Lin Liang accepted Qin Tao's argument. In the future, they will not only have fishing, but also tourism, and they must have a suitable publicity name.

  The circle around Shuangsha Island is more than 30 kilometers away. It is really impossible without a car.

  From the airport, follow the ring-shaped island in the north, head east all the way, walk about five kilometers, and then you will leave the military area and arrive at the fishing village of Shuangsha Island.

   "The road has not hardened yet. We can start work when the next cargo ship arrives." In the car, Lin Liang introduced it to Qin Tao.

  In just half a year, Shuangsha Island has undergone earth-shaking changes. After the completion of the island reclamation, of course military projects should be done first, especially the airport, which is the top priority.

   Follow-up, you have to take your time.

   "This is a hotel in a resort, half of which will be in the form of villas. The construction period will probably take a year or two. We are not in a hurry. We will develop the fishery first. This place has unique advantages and is very suitable for fish farming."

  Lin Liang stretched his hand to the right side while talking: "See, that's the breeding base we just established."

  Qin Tao looked over, there were fish rafts, and the fry were kept there.

"We stock all rare fish species, including red fish, long fish, seven-star fish, Dongxing spot, cobia, etc., a total of 300,000 fish. We have fishing boats to catch fresh miscellaneous fish directly from nearby, such as small cuttlefish, Small cannonball fish are used as feed, and the growth rate of these rare fish species is very fast, which is 30% higher than our production rate near Qiongzhou!"

  Speaking of these, Lin Liang is very proud. In the past, he had planned countless times to raise fish in the South China Sea. This time, he finally realized his plan, and the effect was not bad!

  Qin Tao shook his head: "Mr. Lin, can these devices withstand the ninth-level wind and waves at sea?"

  Resisting nine-level wind and waves at sea?

  Lin Liang thought for a while, then shook his head: "Boss Qin, this seems to be difficult, right?"

   "No matter how difficult it is, this must be done. Otherwise, once we encounter a storm at sea, these investments may be lost."

  Hearing Qin Tao's words, Lin Liang's expression also became serious.

  Although this is an island, it is far away from the mainland after all. If there is a sea storm, they may all be swept away. At that time, they will really lose everything.

  Of course we can’t let such a thing happen, so how should we deal with it?

   "Using this method of fish rafts is not very safe. If you use the method of cages and sink directly to the bottom of the water, will it be safer?"

  Cage?

   Sink to the bottom?

  Lin Liang's eyes slowly brightened, yes, if it sinks to the bottom, even if there is a big storm coming, it will not affect the underwater situation, so it will be safer.

   "That's right, we need to change the way we raise fish!"

   At this time, the car is still driving on the road, and the construction site under construction can be seen ahead.

"The hospital is being built there." Lin Liang continued to introduce: "According to your plan, there will be a large hospital on the island. Because it is used for both military and civilian purposes, it should be built in our civilian area. In this way, whether it is our Fishermen or tourists who come here can come to the hospital for treatment in case of any situation."

  Qin Tao nodded: "That's right, this arrangement is very appropriate, what are you doing there?"

  Qin Tao pointed his finger to the distance, where he could see a drilling rig was working. What was the drilling rig doing on the island? He didn't remember that there were oil and gas resources down there!

  "The well is being drilled for fresh water."

   Drilling a well?

  The reconnaissance satellite in the air just flew over the sky overhead, and pointed the camera at the area here. Countless clear photos were sent back through the communication satellite.

   After getting these satellite photos, a group of people started discussing.

   "Let me see what they plan to do on the Great Wall of Sand." Swift took the photo curiously while smoking a cigar.

  At the beginning, they thought they were dredging and clearing the river. Later, Shuangsha Island began to expand rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they began to become sour.

  Is this going to reclaim the sea to build an island? Even if it is built, this is still a sand wall, a fortress piled up with sand, what use can it be?

   Their mouths are sour, and what they say is also full of contempt.

  Now, after seeing the photo, Swift frowned: "What are they doing? Why are they deploying vehicles on the runway? No, it's unprofessional, unprofessional!"

   Swift was very dissatisfied with this approach.

  Now that the island has been filled, they will of course make corresponding arrangements. According to their plan, they had the idea of ​​using MC-130J special aircraft to directly transport special forces to land on it forcibly.

   Unexpectedly, the other party actually used this method!

   "Yeah, this way, we won't be able to forcefully land there." The secretary on the side was also annoyed: "How could they do that?"

   Annoyed, Swift puts down the photo, picks up another, and laughs again: "Drilling a well? What well are they digging?"

   "It looks like they are going to drill a well to get water." The person on the side said.

   "Drilling wells for water?" Swift laughed so much that his hands trembled and he almost missed the photo: "Drilling holes on this small island made of sand, aren't they afraid of sinking the Great Wall of Sand?"

  Things piled up with sand should collapse at the first touch. Who would have thought that the other party would want to fetch water on it so naively. Fresh water can appear on a small island in the sea? How can this be?

  They might as well use a few more pots, and wait for more fresh water when it rains!

  In short, no one thinks that fresh water can be obtained on the island.

   At this time, on the island, on the first well drilled, the first cup of water has been pumped out.

  The geologists held the glass of water and were very excited. Before they could even wait for the test, they immediately stuck out their tongues and licked the water.

   "Not salty, without any salty taste, this is fresh water! Sure enough, our fresh water lens theory is no problem!"

  Freshwater lens theory?

  Qin Tao also became excited: "It's really done? That's great!"

  This theory, last time he heard geological experts say it.

  This is a tropical marine monsoon climate, with abundant and uniform precipitation throughout the year, which is all real fresh water. It's a pity that there are no other means on the island except for some pots that can catch water.

  However, the underside of this island is molten limestone, which has a certain water permeability and a large number of holes. Due to the difference in density between seawater and freshwater, seawater cannot penetrate into dissolved limestone, only freshwater that falls from the sky and penetrates from the surface can.

   In this way, this layer of rock forms a so-called "freshwater lens" that separates seawater from freshwater. In a certain area of ​​the island, there will be pure fresh water.

   However, this is just a theory, until now, the theory has finally become a reality.

   "The fresh water we tap is quite precious and cannot be wasted. It should be used as water for residents. For construction, it still has to be transported from land." Qin Tao said.

Seawater cannot be used to mix concrete, so the buildings we are building now use fresh water transported from land. When the route here is dug, the Navy's comprehensive supply ship will come directly, and it can give Supply thousands of tons of fresh water.

The existing fresh water on the island is used as water for residents, hospitals, etc. Of course there is no problem, but if it is used as water for construction, it would be too wasteful. The function of this fresh water is to protect the residents of the island. It can live for a long time without external supply.

"That's right, you're right." A geological expert said excitedly: "We absolutely can't exhaust the water for fishing. We have to drill more wells nearby and put in monitoring equipment to monitor changes in water quality. Too much and it could cause seawater to seep in and the freshwater to become salty and unusable."

   "Fight as needed, don't worry, our island will not collapse."

Although it is indeed piled up with sand, there are piles outside, and now the cement **** protection has begun to be built. After these are built, the island will be more stable and last forever. collapsed.
