Chapter 95: Chapter 95: New Territory - Nanyao Island!

(This is the first Chapter, there will be more in the evening~~ Also, there hasn’t been an update in the past few days, which led to fewer recommendation votes! So, everyone, please vote!!)

Two months later.

Morning.

Another calm and peaceful day.

At Jade Island, on the C terminal of Laputa Port, a ten-thousand-ton new amphibious transport ship slowly ramped up its engine, departing from this slightly remote terminal, heading towards the southwestern waters.

This was an amphibious transport boat, with a full load displacement of nearly 30,000 tons. Compared to large transport ships of over 100,000 tons, this transport boat seemed quite inconspicuous.

However, its multifunctional purpose is incomparable to regular transport ships.

That’s because it is a dual-purpose transport ship for both land and water.

Its overall design style is drawn from large transport ships, but internally, it combines aspects of a dock landing ship and a transport ship.

The deck atop the ship is designed to store large containers, while internally, there are dock spaces and cargo holds to accommodate special materials and transport vehicles for direct landing and rapid transport purposes.

Additionally, this amphibious transport boat is also equipped with a super-cavitating propeller, and it is the latest model, with a propulsion efficiency much greater than the models sold externally, making it a version for internal use on Jade Island.

Based on this, the maximum speed of this 30,000-ton amphibious transport boat can reach 65 knots, which is 120 kilometers per hour, nearly 30 kilometers per hour faster than commercially sold versions!

Thus, one can see how high its transport efficiency is!

Upon entering the sea, the amphibious transport boat activated the super-cavitating propeller, allowing it to reach full speed in a short time.

From afar, this transport boat carved out a beautiful white trail in the sea, resembling a high-speed train traversing the ocean.

After the first transport boat disappeared, another cargo-laden transport boat left the same port, rushing along the same route.

By noon, as many as 12 transport boats were fully powered, delivering a large batch of materials towards the southwestern sea area of Jade Island!

Given the port’s relative remoteness and absence from public view, not many people noticed. However, for the higher-ups involved in this transport mission on Jade Island, this was an extremely secretive transport operation.

Because the island creation mission, which was conducted secretly, was declared successfully completed a few days ago, the next stage is to enter full-scale development.

And precisely because of this, such massive materials were required there, leading to the construction of a batch of these high-speed transport boats to accelerate transport efficiency.

While the secret transport mission was being carried out intensively, Jiang Cheng, who was in charge of this mission, wasn’t idle either.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng was in a super-luxurious flying car, intently observing the island below!

Indeed, apart from Jade Island, Jiang Cheng now owned another island!

Under the clear sky, a small island with squared specifications lay across the blue ocean, an amazing sight!

Overall, it’s a slanted rectangular island. After a series of blow-fill and pile stabilization measures, the original Nameless Island reef group had been renewed and integrated into a real island.

The island area even approached 1.2 square kilometers. Such a scale even exceeds that of Octopus Island.

Moreover, most importantly, on the northeastern side of this island, there is still a large stretch of rocky underwater reefs. Since these reefs are all several meters underwater, it would take a considerable time to blow-fill them.

Thus, based on this, Jiang Cheng ordered a temporary abandonment of these hydrous reefs for future secondary development, focusing only on the currently blow-filled section development.

In fact, the currently blow-filled section is already large enough, with open space for any facilities that might be built on it.

The area of 1.2 square kilometers is already enough for building a small city.

At this moment, sitting in the flying car, Jiang Cheng watched the newly created island, revealing a faint smile of satisfaction.

This new island, or rather new territory, was incredibly crucial for him and Jade Island, as it’s been a focal point of anxiety during its construction over the past few months.

Fortunately, due to his ample preparations beforehand, this crucial secret plan of Jade Island was kept under wraps and successfully completed all planned blow-fill and stabilization work just days ago.

Now, this island is ready to enter the official construction phase.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately opened the Island Tycoon APP, and the attribute panel instantly appeared.

Compared to the initial phase, Jiang Cheng’s personal information underwent drastic changes!

[Island Master]: Jiang Cheng

[Level]: Lv4

[Money]: 1.7 trillion USD

[Number of islands under control]: 2 (Jade Island, Nanyao Island)

[Total territory area]: 3625 square kilometers

[Total territorial sea area]: 48500 square kilometers

Nanyao Island was a name Jiang Cheng deliberately gave to this newly completed artificial island.

The term "Key" refers to the "key gateway," demonstrating Jiang Cheng’s intentions.

This Nanyao Island can be considered Jade Island’s southern gateway for the future, playing a critical role in the safety of Jade Island.

Currently, Jiang Cheng holds a territory of 3625 square kilometers, an increase of 5 square kilometers, primarily due to the expansion of surrounding islands by Jade Island.

Meanwhile, the territorial sea expanded by 7000 square kilometers!

The main reason here remains Nanyao Island.

But Jiang Cheng knows that Nanyao Island not only contributes 7000 square kilometers of sea territory but also potentially covers an ocean area exceeding 100,000 square kilometers!

Indeed!

The distance between Nanyao Island and Jade Island is nearly 60 nautical miles in a straight line, which is considered quite short in this vast ocean.

With such a short distance, when Jade Island’s naval military strength develops, military control can be fully achieved.

The impact brought forth would mean that this short 60-mile gap becomes Jade Island’s private route, and any other nation’s ships within this 60-mile radius will find it a restricted area.

Thus, this equates to Jade Island solely occupying a massive ocean territory, akin to a private back garden.

Of course, achieving all this relies heavily on Jade Island’s development.

Jiang Cheng knows that Nanyao Island’s existence may soon be hard to conceal; it is believed that soon this news will explode across the international world, and by then, the international pressure on Jiang Cheng and Jade Island will inevitably intensify rapidly.

Hence, to prepare for this day, he must make adequate preparations.
