Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 640 Young Master Hu Initiates Land Reclamation Black Technology! Trillion-Dollar Blueprint Shocks the World, International Tycoon Group Appears at Resort
As Hu Jiangshan drove back to his apartment in Victoria Harbour, his mind raced, repeatedly weighing his next steps.

His original plan was to go to Tenglong Island again tomorrow morning to handle the preliminary preparations for land reclamation.

But then I thought about it again, since I had already agreed to attend that party tomorrow night, the time was a bit tight.

Instead of rushing around tomorrow, it's better to take advantage of the early hour and go directly to the island to take care of the important matters first. That way, I'll feel more at ease.

Thinking of this, he immediately changed his mind, gripped the steering wheel with both hands, and turned the wheel sharply, smoothly turning the car onto the side road leading to the Baisha Bay Yacht Club Marina.

At the same time, with a light touch of the right foot on the accelerator, the Tesla electric car's signature, almost silent but incredibly rapid acceleration immediately came through, giving a strong push-back feeling and quickly increasing the speed.

It must be said that in an era where gasoline-powered cars still dominate, Tesla's pure electric vehicles are indeed quite advanced and ahead of their time.

Putting aside the experience of those fancy intelligent features, the instantaneous and lag-free acceleration performance alone is enough to leave many similarly priced luxury gasoline cars far behind.

The car moved smoothly and swiftly along the road, and in no time at all, it arrived at the magnificent entrance to the Baisha Bay Yacht Club.

Hu Jiangshan skillfully parked the car in the members-only parking area. As soon as he opened the car door and got out, dock staff warmly greeted him.

Hu Jiangshan is now a regular at the Baisha Bay Yacht Club, not only mooring his boat there regularly but also becoming a VIP member.

Almost all the dock workers, from the manager to the ordinary waiters, knew this young but charismatic boss, Mr. Hu.

This time, a young female staff member came to greet us. She was pretty, tall, and dressed in a well-fitting uniform, looking very capable.

With a professional, friendly smile on her face, she quickly walked up to Hu Jiangshan, bowed slightly, and asked, "Mr. Hu, good afternoon! Is there anything I can help you with today?"

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand and casually replied, "No need for help, I can go by myself."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he thought about it again. Although there was a coffee machine on the Seahorse yacht, it was not professional equipment, and the coffee it brewed always tasted a little off and was not rich enough.

So he called back the female staff member who was about to turn and leave, and instructed her, "Oh, by the way, could you do me a favor and ask the coffee bar to make me a hot Americano and bring it to my berth later?"

"Okay, Mr. Hu! No problem!" The female staff member nodded immediately, her smile unchanged. "I'll arrange it right away and send it over to you in a bit."

Hu Jiangshan nodded and walked straight toward the berth where his white Seahorse yacht was moored.

He skillfully boarded the yacht, first habitually checking the engine and various equipment to confirm that everything was working properly and the fuel level was sufficient.

Just then, the female staff member from before carefully brought over a steaming cup of coffee.

Hu Jiangshan thanked him, took the coffee, leaned against the ship's railing, and took a sip.

Hmm, the taste is indeed much better than on the ship, fragrant and invigorating. Without further delay, he started the engine, untied the mooring ropes, and maneuvered the Seahorse slowly away from the dock, turning the bow around and heading towards Tenglong Island, cutting through the waves.

The waves at sea were a little bigger than expected, but for a yacht of the size and performance of the Seahorse, it was completely within acceptable limits.

Hu Jiangshan is a skilled driver, and the yacht sails steadily on the blue sea under his control.

A moment later, the iconic and beautiful coastline of Tenglong Bay came into view.

Just as the Haima was about to enter the main channel of Tenglong Bay, Hu Jiangshan noticed that there were two slightly larger sightseeing boats ahead, slowly lining up and entering the bay one after another.

Judging from the style and paint scheme of the cruise ship, it should be a boat used by Tenglong Island Resort to pick up and drop off tourists.

Hu Jiangshan deliberately slowed down the boat and followed behind, observing carefully for a while.

Wow! There are so many people on those two cruise ships! The decks are packed with tourists, men, women, young and old, and they all seem to be having a great time.

Hu Jiangshan wondered to himself whether these tourists were local residents of Hong Kong Island or people who had come from other places or even abroad because of their reputation.
Logically speaking, many wealthy locals from Hong Kong Island would choose to drive their own private yachts or sailboats to Teng Lung Island for a vacation, as it would offer more freedom and privacy.

Only tourists who do not own private boats or come from distant places choose to take these scheduled sightseeing boats.

It seems that Tenglong Island Resort has really made a name for itself recently!

It has attracted many tourists who have come from other places specifically to experience it.

Thinking of this, Hu Jiangshan couldn't help but smile. Katherine Gates must be in a very good mood right now.

Of course, given Catherine's family background, she was not short of money; starting this resort was more out of ambition and a desire to realize her self-worth.

But once this girl sets her sights on a project, she will devote tremendous enthusiasm and energy to it, and she will never give up until she does her best.

It now seems that she was the one who made the Tenglong Island Resort project a success!

However, on the other hand, Tenglong Island itself is indeed very well-developed.

The island boasts an excellent ecological environment, stunning natural scenery, and a pleasant climate. More importantly, its infrastructure is incredibly well-developed!
It has running water, electricity, internet, transportation... everything is readily available and of extremely high standard, making it even more convenient and stable to use than some areas on Hong Kong Island itself.

It's important to understand that globally, most remote islands far from the mainland struggle to achieve such comprehensive and advanced infrastructure.

Tenglong Island is simply an "anomaly" in this respect, it's practically perfect, it's hard not to become popular!

As Hu Jiangshan steered the "Seahorse" slowly past the two sightseeing boats, he clearly heard exclamations of surprise and admiration rising and falling from the open decks of the boats, and even more so, a chorus of delighted praises in various languages:

Wow! My goodness! There's such a beautiful place!

"This is outrageous! Is this heaven?"

"I come to Hong Kong Island often, why have I never heard of such a beautiful place before?" "You know what, I heard that the ecological environment here has only become this good in the last year or two..."

"It can get this good in just two years? That's impossible!"

"Good heavens! Stop discussing these pointless questions! This beautiful scenery can't possibly be fake, right?"

"That's right! We're here for a vacation to enjoy ourselves and truly experience life!"

Upon closer listening, Hu Jiangshan realized that the tourists on the cruise ship indeed came from all over the world, speaking not only British and French, but also occasionally Russian.

Wow! Tenglong Island Resort is already going international!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The main person in charge of the project, Catherine, is a foreigner herself. She promotes the project within her social circle and industry, which naturally attracts many foreign tourists.

In addition, Hong Kong Island itself is a highly international city with many expatriates who have always been very enthusiastic about discovering new, high-quality holiday destinations in the surrounding area.

Hu Jiangshan stopped paying too much attention to the tourists and skillfully drove the Haima to the main pier of Tenglong Island, preparing to dock.

Today, Tenglong Island Wharf has become quite modern and intelligent after continuous upgrades and renovations.

As long as a ship docks, the intelligent system can automatically complete operations such as securing the mooring lines and connecting water and electricity, requiring almost no human intervention.

Therefore, the number of staff stationed at the dock is very small, but the efficiency is greatly improved.

However, as the island owner, Hu Jiangshan's yacht, the Seahorse, is known to many people on the island.

As soon as Hu Jiangshan's ship approached the dock, a white electric commuter vehicle sped over and came to a steady stop next to the berth.

To Hu Jiangshan's surprise, it was Awang who personally led a group of people out of the car.

Ah Wang is quite something now! He's no longer the lowly laborer who used to do odd jobs on the island.

Thanks to his hard work, quick thinking, and absolute loyalty to Hu Jiangshan, he now holds an important position in the logistics department of Tenglong Island, making him one of the top leaders. He manages a large number of people and his status is second only to a few core veterans.

Upon seeing Hu Jiangshan, Awang's face immediately lit up with a genuinely respectful smile, and he quickly stepped forward, saying, "Boss! You've arrived! Where are you going? I'll take you there!"

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand and said in a friendly tone, "No need to trouble you, Awang. Just give me the keys to a commuter car, I'll drive around by myself. You guys go about your business, don't worry about me."

"Okay! Boss!"

Awang agreed without hesitation, without any unnecessary words, and immediately took out a key to an electric scooter from his pocket and handed it to Hu Jiangshan with both hands.

In Awang's mind, the boss's words are like a sacred decree, which must be obeyed unconditionally, and no questions should be asked.

He firmly believed in a simple truth: if you work for the boss, you'll definitely make a living! As long as you keep this in mind and do your job well, you'll be on the right track! This simple yet unwavering loyalty was precisely what Hu Jiangshan admired about him.

Hu Jiangshan took the keys, skillfully started an empty electric commuter vehicle next to him, and drove towards the depths of Tenglong Island.

His destination was very clear: the infrastructure construction and planning center located in the core area of ​​the island.

Hu Jiangshan rushed to Tenglong Island this time with only one core purpose: to try to launch the long-planned land reclamation project!

Although Hu Jiangshan already had a general idea and a rough plan in mind, he was still unsure whether the plan could actually be successfully launched and implemented technically.

After all, land reclamation is an extremely complex mega-project involving multiple challenging fields such as marine engineering, geological exploration, and environmental assessment.

Although the central computer of the Infrastructure Construction and Planning Center is incredibly powerful, a veritable cutting-edge technology, it is ultimately just a planning and simulation system and cannot necessarily perfectly realize all of Hu Jiangshan's ideas.

If any unforeseen technical difficulties or bottlenecks arise during the simulation or subsequent actual construction, it will require a significant amount of time and effort to resolve them.

Therefore, Hu Jiangshan felt that it was necessary to start the preliminary preparations as soon as possible, and to conduct detailed feasibility studies and simulation tests. Otherwise, when it was time to actually start construction, it might not be enough time to make adequate preparations.

Hu Jiangshan parked his electric scooter steadily in front of the futuristic building in the planning center and strode inside.

He made his way to the control room with practiced ease and turned on the huge central computer screen. A deep blue light illuminated the screen, revealing a complex user interface.

Hu Jiangshan took a deep breath, sat down at the control panel, and began to operate it with complete concentration.

The term "land reclamation" sounds simple, but it is actually a highly technical task.

It's not as simple as just drawing a circle on the sea and then filling it with earth and rocks. First, an extremely detailed survey and assessment must be conducted on the seabed geological structure, ocean currents, water depth variations, and ecological impacts of the planned reclamation area.

If certain key indicators do not meet the engineering requirements, such as the presence of active faults on the seabed, excessively strong ocean currents leading to severe sediment loss, or irreversible damage to the habitats of rare marine life, then the land reclamation project may be unable to proceed or may need to be relocated.

Fortunately, the central computer on Tenglong Island is incredibly powerful!

It can directly access a large amount of high-precision sensor data deployed in the waters surrounding the islands, and generate and display extremely detailed sea condition information and three-dimensional seabed geological models in real time with amazing clarity, almost equivalent to being on the seabed for on-site investigation!
There is absolutely no need to send out additional seabed exploration vessels to collect data in a time-consuming and laborious manner. Moreover, the results simulated and calculated by the central computer are extremely accurate, far exceeding the conventional technological level of this era, making it a true ultra-modern black technology.

Previously, Hu Jiangshan had already browsed through the relevant data and felt that there were no major problems overall.

Even if the geological conditions in some areas are not ideal, the risk points can be cleverly avoided by slightly adjusting the boundary shape of the reclamation area, or by taking some local engineering reinforcement measures. It is simply a matter of making the outline of the reclamation area on the planning map slightly detour.

Hu Jiangshan got up, went to the coffee machine next to him to get himself a cup of strong, hot Americano, and then returned to the control panel to begin his intense work.

I was so engrossed in my work that two whole hours passed by without me even realizing it!
Good guy!
Although the planning center maintained a constant temperature and humidity, the long hours spent concentrating on complex operations still caused a fine layer of sweat to appear on Hu Jiangshan's forehead.

This job is really tough! Although he doesn't need to carry sandbags or operate an excavator himself, the mental workload is extremely high.
