Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 650 The land reclamation project has officially begun!
Seeing Feng Zhilei's grief-stricken appearance, Hu Jiangshan found it amusing.

It was quite enjoyable, and Hu Jiangshan felt a great sense of superiority.

Hu Jiangshan had already seen through everything.

Feng Shuangcai is indeed a big shot in the Hong Kong film and television industry, but to think he can suppress a mainland artist of Chen Yifei's caliber is just wishful thinking.

Chen Yifei is not afraid of these things at all and has always done things her own way.

Perhaps sensing Hu Jiangshan's dismissive gaze, Feng Shuang looked over and said calmly, "Young Master Hu is quite capable. I never realized it before."

Hu Jiangshan grinned: "Sorry, I was just lucky to get along well with Ms. Chen Yifei."

"Oh, did you tell Ms. Chen Yifei about all the good deeds you did before?"

Feng Shuangcai narrowed his eyes, his words laced with threat, which was obvious to everyone.

Logically speaking, Feng Shuangcai shouldn't be so serious with a junior, but he was just provoked and naturally needed to find a scapegoat to demonstrate his authority.

Feng Shuangcai didn't have much contact with the Hu family, but he had a close relationship with the Guo family and also had a good personal relationship with Guo Pingjiang.

The Guo family is a media tycoon, and they are considered allies.

Therefore, Feng Shuangcai didn't need to be too polite to the Hu family.

As for Hu Jiangshan, Feng Shuangcai had certainly heard of his outrageous deeds, but he didn't seem to have ever met him.

Even if they had met, Feng Shuangcai had no recollection of it.

Prejudice is a mountain. Although Hu Jiangshan looks handsome and is different from what people imagine, the prejudice against him will not disappear.

Feng Shuangcai clearly attacked the wrong person; Hu Jiangshan is no longer afraid of anyone exposing his past.

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "President Feng doesn't need to worry about that. Ms. Chen Yifei knows everything about my affairs."

Feng Shuangcai's expression changed: "You..."

Seeing Feng Shuangcai's exasperated expression, Chen Yifei almost burst out laughing.

Don't let Hu Jiangshan's seemingly harmless appearance fool you; when he gets angry, he's quick-witted and can insult people without using any vulgar language.

Sure enough, Feng Shuangcai ran away after saying only a few words, and Feng Zhilei and the others, seeing that there was no chance of anything happening, quickly dispersed as well.

Next came the normal procedure: some people approached Chen Yifei for drinks and chats, but Hu Jiangshan deflected them all, allowing Chen Yifei to handle the situation calmly.

This is also why Li Shuning brought Hu Jiangshan over.

Don't underestimate what seems like a simple social engagement; it can be quite difficult for popular celebrities to handle. Some people are just plain malicious and will deliberately get female celebrities drunk and then take advantage of them.

Especially for a top-tier celebrity like Chen Yifei, there are quite a few people watching her, including some big shots.

If no reliable person were to shield her, Chen Yifei would have had a really tough time in this situation.

As it turns out, Hu Jiangshan is indeed very reliable and dependable.

When Hu Jiangshan returned to the Victoria Harbour apartment, it was already 10 p.m.

Overall, today went quite smoothly, and I unconsciously got even closer to Chen Yifei.

Chen Yifei promised to meet with Hu Jiangshan again after she finished her work.

Isn't that the same as going on a date?

Next, Hu Jiangshan will be busy planning the next phase of development for the space launch site on Tenglong Island.

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan suddenly remembered something, took out his phone, and glanced at the message.

Hu Jiangshan smiled.

The 100 million dollar donation from Catherine has arrived.

Alright, we've raised enough money. It's time to start the land reclamation project.

By the way, the project cannot be started yet.

The Hong Kong government has not yet issued the construction permit. Such a large-scale project as land reclamation is no joke and must follow strict and formal procedures.

If there are any problems with the construction process, it will cause a lot of trouble for Hu Jiangshan and Jiangshan Group, which would be a huge loss. If things get too complicated and they become uncontrollable, it will be an embarrassing situation.

Hu Jiangshan sighed as he thought about this. It seemed that he still had to wait and be patient, and not rush things.

The next morning, Hu Jiangshan was still half asleep when the phone rang. It was the Hong Kong government office calling to ask him to check his emails.

Hu Jiangshan asked what the email contained, and the other party said it was hard to say for sure, but it was very important and Hu Jiangshan needed to check it immediately and give a confirmation reply.

Hu Jiangshan's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed what it was. He quickly opened his email and, sure enough, saw the email from the Hong Kong government.

Hu Jiangshan was overjoyed when he saw the title.

Just what I wished for came true; it turned out to be a permit for a land reclamation project.

Hu Jiangshan quickly downloaded the attachment.

It was a large PDF file, an official document from the Hong Kong government.

The permitted area for land reclamation is clearly marked on the document, which is the sea area near Tenglong Island.

It also stipulates the permitted scope of land reclamation and restricts it from extending too far beyond the sea area to avoid serious ecological damage.

Furthermore, during the land reclamation process, the Hong Kong government needs to send an investigation team to monitor the process. If serious environmental pollution is found, penalties may be imposed, or the process may be temporarily halted for rectification.

Upon seeing this, Hu Jiangshan didn't think anything of it; it was only natural. After all, this kind of project was no joke, and it was best to avoid being careless or sloppy. It was necessary to put these unpleasant things out in advance.

The clearer the rules are, the lower the risk, which makes Hu Jiangshan feel more at ease.

Hu Jiangshan carefully read through the approval document and then responded. In principle, the land reclamation project was officially approved. The Hong Kong government's efficiency was surprisingly high. It seems that going through the Speaker's connections was the right thing to do.

However, Hu Jiangshan still needs to sign the physical documents.

These are all minor matters; I can take some time to go and take care of them.

Hu Jiangshan is now eager to start the land reclamation road project.

After finishing his tasks, Hu Jiangshan quickly washed up and went out to a tea restaurant near his apartment for breakfast.

These past two days have been filled with good news, and Hu Jiangshan is in a great mood. He even hummed a little tune while eating, which attracted the frequent glances of the tea restaurant staff.

To be fair, Hu Jiangshan is handsome and has a great presence; he's definitely a male god and very attractive.

After finishing his meal and leisurely drinking his iced coffee, Hu Jiangshan left the tea restaurant and went to Baisha Bay Yacht Club Marina. He then boarded the Haima and headed to Tenglong Island.

Upon arriving at Tenglong Bay, Hu Jiangshan saw another medium-sized cruise ship heading towards the resort's dock.

The resort is doing incredibly well. It's not peak vacation season now, and I bet many hotels and resorts are envious.

A moment later, on Tenglong Island, at the Infrastructure Planning and Construction Center.

Hu Jiangshan arrived at the facility's main control room, turned on the central computer, and then loaded the previously planned land reclamation drawings onto the operating interface.

The entire project is enormous; it's dizzying to look at.

Hu Jiangshan checked it again to see if there were any loopholes or deficiencies in the plan.

Overall, the design is already quite complete. Both the location of the land reclamation and the specific planning were carefully considered by Hu Jiangshan, leaving little room for change.

Of course, improvements can also be made in minor details, such as increasing the precision of the engineering.

Hu Jiangshan dared not be careless. He spent an hour checking for any oversights and finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the project could begin. [Project Name]: Tenglong Island Land Reclamation Project
[Project Area]: 12568 square meters

[Construction Period]: 30 days

[Investment Capital]: HKD 5 million

The entire project list and estimated plan are very detailed, even specifying the number of engineering vehicles to be deployed.

Almost all of the facility's engineering vehicles are involved in the construction.

In other words, the project is operating at full capacity.

Hu Jiangshan checked it again and found no problems, then pressed the start button.

[Construction conditions are being tested...]

[Test passed, project can proceed]

Hu Jiangshan conducted a second confirmation and decisively launched the project.

The screen on the main control panel immediately changed, and a huge progress bar appeared.

This is a massive project, and the entire progress bar seems to have become serious, moving very slowly.

Hu Jiangshan operated the main control panel for a few moments, switching it to engineering monitoring mode.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Jiangshan heard a lot of mechanical sounds starting up.

The gates of the infrastructure project slowly opened, and various types of construction vehicles began to move out, one after another, lining up to leave.

Although these construction vehicles are all electric, when they all start moving, there are so many of them that they make quite a racket.

Good heavens, it looks like a war chariot about to head to the battlefield, it's spectacular and imposing.

Hu Jiangshan made himself a cup of coffee and sat down at the main control panel to watch the construction progress.

To put it more bluntly, Hu Jiangshan can see the real-time footage of the project in progress.

This isn't an animated rendering; it's real monitoring footage.

If Hu Jiangshan is willing, he can adjust the distance, angle, and even precision of the monitoring screen at any time. The screen is incredibly clear, and the situation in the cab of the engineering vehicle can be seen.

Hu Jiangshan became somewhat curious: how was this surveillance footage generated?
In fact, Hu Jiangshan had made this guess before: the Tech Engine APP might be a huge system, perhaps with dedicated satellites in outer space monitoring the ground, providing the system with all kinds of monitoring data and real-time images, somewhat like a high-level spy satellite.

These images represent only a small part of the functionality.

Hu Jiangshan sipped his coffee as he watched, curious about how the engineering vehicles inside the facility would carry out land reclamation.

Generally speaking, the most efficient way to reclaim land from the sea is by dredging sand, which involves piling up the mud and sand on the seabed until it rises above the sea level and becomes land.

However, the downside is that it has a significant impact on the marine ecosystem, making it unwatchable for a long period of time.

There are resorts nearby, which will inevitably affect the seawater in Tenglong Bay to some extent, so we can't go too far.

It's entirely possible that they'll level the mountains on Tenglong Island and then use the land to fill the seabed, creating land.

It's not impossible to do this, but it would still damage the island's terrain and environment, which would be completely irreversible, and the efficiency would be very low, making it impossible to complete in thirty days.

Soon, Hu Jiangshan was shocked to discover that some construction vehicles were actually carrying out construction work on one side of Tenglong Island, seemingly building a construction ramp.

Although the gentle slope is not yet fully formed, we can tell from the intentions of these construction vehicles that it likely leads to the seabed.

Could it be that……

These engineering vehicles are amphibious and can even dive to the seabed to carry out construction!
Wow, this is a huge discovery.

In his previous life, Hu Jiangshan was a scientist, a technical expert, and a master of engineering.

He knew very well how difficult it was to turn an engineering vehicle into an amphibious vehicle that could dive to the seabed, which was equivalent to a submarine that could travel on land.

The problem is that, with current technology, it is almost impossible to achieve a sealed environment and corrosion protection for all major components of an engineering vehicle that does not have a particularly special appearance.

However, it seems that it has been achieved.

This tech engine app's capabilities are outrageous.

How exactly is this thing produced?
This is a huge mystery, and Hu Jiangshan has no reason not to be curious.

His curiosity and thirst for knowledge were his strongest traits; otherwise, he wouldn't have become a top scientist.

Hu Jiangshan knew he might never figure this out, including why he was reborn here – that too would remain a mystery.

It doesn't matter, these things are not important. What's important is to do this big project well.

Once the land reclamation is completed, the construction of the electromagnetic catapult launchers can begin; that's the main course.

If we were to actually develop that thing, it would definitely shake up the entire aerospace, science and technology, and even media industries on Earth, and it would occupy a lot of major media headlines.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.

The caller ID shows an unfamiliar number.

Hu Jiangshan answered the phone.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Hello, this is the Environmental Assessment Department of Hong Kong Island. Are you Mr. Hu Jiangshan?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Mr. Hu, your land reclamation plan has been approved. Have you received the email?"

"Yes, I have received it and confirmed it."

"Here's the thing, we'd like to visit the construction site in the next few days to make some notes. Would that be convenient?"

"Convenient, no problem."

"When are you free? Let's schedule a time to go over."

Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment and realized that there didn't seem to be anything important happening in the next day or two.

"Anytime tomorrow or the day after is fine."

"Alright, Mr. Hu, let's arrange it for tomorrow."

"can."

Hu Jiangshan confirmed the specific address with the other party, which was actually Tenglong Island.

The Hong Kong government's environmental monitoring team will travel to the island by official boat.

Hu Jiangshan hung up the phone and felt relieved, no longer worried about the so-called environmental inspection.

If Tenglong Island's environment still can't pass the environmental assessment, then there's nowhere else that can.

Moreover, they were just making environmental monitoring records; it was just a formality.

Hu Jiangshan thought about it again and decided that since he had such an important matter to deal with tomorrow, he would stay here instead of leaving today.

Hu Jiangshan didn't plan to stay in his own villa; instead, he wanted to check out the resort, which had a better atmosphere.

Before Catherine left, she told Hu Jiangshan that if he wanted to stay there, he could go directly to the front desk and they could arrange it for him.
