Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 272: It's time to build a space launch site

Hu Jiangshan looked back at the three yachts that had tried to dock at the pier, and they were still parked there.

I don't know whether they have given up the idea of ​​docking or just stopped there to enjoy the scenery.

Some of them were pointing at Hu Jiangshan, and no one knew what they were saying.

Hu Jiangshan no longer cared about them.

The yachts in the distance of Tenglong Bay are basically all at anchor, and some people have already started swimming.

Some people even took out their lures, cast their rods far away, and started sea fishing here.

These guys are really brave. This Tenglong Bay area is not a tourist attraction, nor is it a bathing beach.

Fishing is fine, but aren’t you afraid of encountering any danger by swimming in the water?
Hu Jiangshan thought that if he released a few sharks, he might be able to scare them away.

But what if someone gets hurt?
As the owner of Tenglong Island, Hu Jiangshan may have joint liability and get into unnecessary trouble.

Besides, if there are sharks in Tenglong Bay, at most these people will not dare to swim or dive in the water, but they cannot be stopped from coming here to see the scenery.

Maybe it will even have a counterproductive effect, such as attracting more people to come and see the sharks. Anyway, there will not be much danger for people on the boat, unless there really is a super great white shark like the one in the movie.

So what should we do? Should we build another fence around Tenglong Bay to prevent people from coming in?
In fact, it is not difficult for Hu Jiangshan to do this, after all, Hu Jiangshan has the ability to build infrastructure.

The entrance to Tenglong Bay is wider, but the construction period will be longer.

But Hu Jiangshan couldn't do that because it was not allowed.

Although Hu Jiangshan bought the Tenglong Island in its entirety, theoretically Tenglong Bay should also belong to him, but there were additional terms when signing the purchase contract.

It is clearly written above that the waters near Tenglong Bay cannot be closed and other ships have the right of passage.

For example, in stormy weather, fishing boats are allowed to come in to avoid the wind and waves.

As the owner of the island, I can't drive them away.

It is impossible for Hu Jiangshan to live in a fenced-off area in Tenglong Bay. That would be a breach of contract and he absolutely cannot do it.

So what to do now? Unless Tenglong Bay is designated as a water area for special purposes.

For example, Hu Jiangshan can open a large fishery here to generate economic value, so naturally people cannot be allowed to come in casually unless there is a real storm.

However, the situation in Tenglong Bay is different from that in the waters of Jiangjun Island. If you want to cover the entire bay, you need to build a super-large natural fishery.

In this case, Hu Jiangshan would have to pay very high taxes, which would be a huge burden.

Even if Hu Jiangshan has sufficient funds, it is not cost-effective. It does not feel good to spend a large amount of money regularly, no matter how rich he is.

So what should we do? Hu Jiangshan couldn't think of a good solution for a while.

Hu Jiangshan sighed. It seemed that making Tenglong Bay so beautiful was not entirely beneficial. There would still be some side effects. At least it would attract many people with nothing to do to come and visit.

It would be fine if they were just sightseeing, but they may not necessarily follow the rules and may litter or damage the environment.

This was something Hu Jiangshan could not tolerate. It took him a long time to restore the ecological environment here to a perfect state.

Hu Jiangshan would definitely have to have someone take care of this matter. He would have to send out a few patrol boats to manage it, which would increase the manpower, and the effect might not be very good.

Because anyone who can afford to ride a yacht is definitely a well-known figure, or at least a wealthy person.

Some people have considerable power in Hong Kong Island, and even Hu Jiangshan now cannot offend them easily.

Hu Jiangshan is not a young and foolish man.

Hu Jiangshan thought about this and felt that he had to start from other aspects.

For example, turning Tenglong Bay into a national nature reserve.

In this way, although it is impossible to completely prevent some people from coming here specifically for sightseeing, at least their number and behavior can be limited.

It is especially important not to destroy the natural environment here or litter.

Of course, it is not easy to accomplish this. It requires submitting an application to the country and the Hong Kong government, and it is really hard to say whether it will be approved.

If it really doesn't work, Hu Jiangshan plans to make a desperate attempt to turn Tenglong Bay into a large fishery and a pure economic waters.

No outsiders are allowed to approach.

We have to do it even if it costs money. There is no other way.

Hu Jiangshan walked inside while thinking.

Hu Jiangshan finally came to Tenglong Island today and had no intention of leaving.

As soon as Hu Jiangshan gets on the boat, many yachts might come over, which would be too dangerous.

Why not just stay on Tenglong Island for one night and leave tomorrow? It’s comfortable here anyway.

At this time, a flat high-standard asphalt road has been paved to the entrance of the villa, which is much better than before.

Hu Jiangshan can choose to drive the electric commuter car up, or walk up by himself.

Hu Jiangshan chose the latter.

Mainly because the weather is good today. Although it is sunny, it is not very sunny. It is quite comfortable to walk on the road with the sea breeze.

Hu Jiangshan just treated it as a walk.

Hu Jiangshan walked up the hill and arrived at the gate of the villa. He was about to push open the fence door and walk into the yard.

Suddenly, a prompt tone rang from the cell phone, short and pleasant.

Hu Jiangshan was stunned. Without even bothering to push the door open, he immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket to check the message.

If Hu Jiangshan heard correctly, there should be new news about the Technology Engine APP.

As expected, new clues did appear in the Technology Engine APP.

Hu Jiangshan was delighted and quickly opened the clues to check.

Hu Jiangshan is quite looking forward to it and wonders what new facilities will be built this time.

Hu Jiangshan was stunned. He actually saw information that he had never seen before.

[It is detected that the location has excellent construction conditions. The following facilities can be built separately]

【Infrastructure】

【Technology Manufacturing Facilities】

【Space Technology Facilities】

【Smart sightseeing facilities】

Hu Jiangshan's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that the Technology Engine APP might also be constantly upgrading and evolving, or it could be called version updating.

Now it is not just possible to build a single facility, but even to select categories.

Needless to say, the infrastructure includes facilities such as power stations and fresh water treatment centers. Hu Jiangshan has already built these and can be skipped for the time being.

Technology manufacturing facilities, that is, semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

In addition to semiconductor production lines, there are also power battery production lines, photovoltaic material production lines, and even robot production lines.

Hu Jiangshan took a quick look and found that these facilities were actually quite advanced for this era, at least one or two generations ahead.

For example, the power battery production line does not produce ordinary ternary lithium batteries or lithium iron phosphate batteries, but the lowest-end ones should be semi-solid batteries.

Such batteries have high density, light weight, long life, and more importantly, strong resistance to low temperatures.

This is a huge upgrade. Semi-solid batteries are already available, so is solid-state batteries far behind?

However, Hu Jiangshan does not want to touch these areas for the time being. Unlike advanced chips, these things are not urgently needed now.

Not only will it fail to provide timely assistance, it may also destroy many companies and the jobs of many people.

In the future, China will be the only major country in power batteries, and Hu Jiangshan does not want to disrupt this process.

The same goes for robots. Hu Jiangshan can now manufacture cleaning robots and seawater purification robots, but he will not sell them outside.

In the next few years, China will see an explosion in the robotics industry, especially humanoid robots, and a number of world-class companies will emerge, such as Yuzhu Technology.

Hu Jiangshan also does not want to take away jobs from these companies.

If it is just to make more money, Hu Jiangshan is not very interested. He can use it himself but cannot take it out.

As for photovoltaic materials, they are already in a state of oversupply. Even if Hu Jiangshan is developing more advanced products, it actually doesn't make much sense.

Space technology facilities and smart sightseeing facilities are indeed new things.

Hu Jiangshan first clicked on “Space Technology Facilities” and a menu appeared.

【Space Launch Site】

【Space Equipment R&D Center】

【Space Vehicle Engine Test Site】

【Space Simulation Laboratory】

Hu Jiangshan widened his eyes. These facilities were quite explosive.

You know, Hu Jiangshan was a senior and outstanding scientific researcher in his previous life. Especially in the few years before his rebirth, he had been doing research in the field of space and had achieved many results.

For example, new materials used in space technology are of paramount importance.

Hu Jiangshan knew the value of these space technology facilities. It would cost a huge amount of money to build each facility, and money was the minimum requirement. What was more needed was technology.

It can be said frankly that currently on the blue planet, 99.9% of the countries are unable to build these facilities independently.

He didn't expect that Hu Jiangshan could actually do these things on Tenglong Island. How could he not be shocked!

Oh, and the spaceport...

Hu Jiangshan thought it was really amazing. Whatever he thought of came true and all things seemed to come together.

First, Bill Gates, the former richest man of Blue Planet, took the initiative to approach Hu Jiangshan to discuss cooperation in building a space launch site.

Then, I talked with Starry Sky Glory about cooperation these two days, and I learned from Fang Xiaoya that it is difficult to make an appointment at the launch site.

The question is, if a space launch site is really built on Tenglong Island, can it be used?
Hu Jiangshan suddenly felt that he had great potential!

As mentioned earlier, China's national rocket launch missions are now fully scheduled. The two launch sites are almost running around the clock and never stop. They are very busy.

It is now very difficult to schedule an application for a rocket launch mission at the two launch sites. It takes several months and will be even more terrifying in the future.

Especially after three or four years, when the products of several private aerospace companies in mainland China have matured and completed research and development, they will conduct frequent launch tests and then accept formal launch missions.

Although the Chinese government is promoting plans to build new commercial rocket launch sites, it will be difficult to fully meet launch needs.

For a long time to come, China’s rocket launch ranges will be insufficient.

Hu Jiangshan understood this very well because he had heard and seen many such incidents in his previous life.

Of course, some rockets can be launched from ship platforms, but that is limited to solid-fuel rockets with relatively small payloads. Medium and large rockets still need to take off from a launch site.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan thought of another function.

If a space launch site is built and recognized by the country, then the entire Tenglong Island will be equivalent to a special place.

In theory, Tenglong Bay will also be subject to control. After all, it is a rocket launch site and tourists cannot be allowed to come in and out at will.

Not only may it hurt people, but there may also be a risk of intelligence leakage.

When Hu Jiangshan thought of this, he suddenly felt that this space launch site was really worth building, and it was of great value and could solve many problems.

But the question is, can Hu Jiangshan just build a space launch site, or a rocket launch site, on the island?
Obviously this is not possible. Even if Hu Jiangshan has the ability, he cannot build anything.

As mentioned earlier, this kind of special-function facility still requires approval from the relevant departments.

However, Hu Jiangshan has accumulated some connections during this period, so he is not completely clueless.

Hu Jiangshan didn't think any more about it and directly clicked on the space launch site to check the corresponding construction information and conditions.

【Facilities】: Space Launch Site

[Level]: Junior
[Launch capability]: Small space vehicle, medium space vehicle
【Construction area】: 1000 square meters.

【Construction period】: 20 days.

【Funding requirement】: HK$8000 million.

Hu Jiangshan took a look and frowned slightly when he saw the final funding requirement.

Wow, it costs 8000 million Hong Kong dollars all at once, and this is just a basic space launch site.

You should know that a semiconductor production line only costs 10 or 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, Hu Jiangshan was also very clear that building a space launch site with only 8000 million Hong Kong dollars was almost like giving it away for free.

After all, a space launch site is more than just a launch pad, it also requires some supporting facilities.

For example, the launch site command center and the rocket maintenance depot, these are all places that require real technology.

There are even some large equipment that cannot be bought outside and need to be specially customized. This is why most countries cannot develop space industries.

The threshold is simply too high.

The construction period only takes twenty days.

To be honest, it was built too quickly, but it seems to be a routine operation for Technology Engine APP.

Hu Jiangshan thought about it and realized that there was not much active funds in the account, so it would be a bit difficult to build a space launch site.

Hu Jiangshan's business is now big, and he has places to spend money everywhere. It is no longer the small-scale business as before.

On the one hand, you need to make money first.

On the other hand, an application for the construction of a space launch site must be submitted to the relevant departments.

Take a two-pronged approach so that you don't waste time.

Hu Jiangshan entered the villa and just took off his coat when his cell phone rang.

【Caller ID: Director Wang Yuling】

It was Director Wang from the Semiconductor Association, and Hu Jiangshan quickly answered the phone.

Wang Yuling called and mainly talked about Hu Jiangshan’s cooperation with Starry Sky Glory.

Wang Yuling was of course very happy that this cooperation had been made possible and was very grateful to Hu Jiangshan.

Whenever encountering difficulties, Hu Jiangshan can always solve the problem. He is simply a firefighter.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan suddenly asked: "By the way, Director Wang, do you know anyone in the Space Administration?"
