Chapter 105 - Fastest-made Island in History
Chapter 105 – Fastest-made Island in History
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud noise, a water column with a 30-meter diameter drew an arc across the blue sky and disappeared into the horizon…
[Crap!]
[Crap!]
[Crap…]
[How can it shoot so far?]
[While America’s aliens are trying to destroy the world and Korea’s aliens are trying to fall in love, our aliens are trying to integrate into society. Interesting…]
[I, on the other hand, think that the host is a human being from the future. I really hope he reveals his face! Then, I can visit his house to worship him!]
[Impossible. Do you think such an amazing existence would get discovered so easily?]
[Can’t the government find him?]
[What a joke. Aren’t you underestimating the UP too much?]
[We’re only watching a livestream. Is there a need to be so serious? Are there really fools that think this is real? These are all special effects, alright?]
[Dumbass!]
[Dumbass! +1]
[Anyone here who’s still a non-believer, go take a look at the news once this island is completed. Let’s see how you’ll get humiliated.]
[Information on this will definitely be blocked. Don’t even think about seeing it on the news.]
While chaos was brewing amidst the bullet comments, the island-building ship had already returned to the island’s side and began the third step, foundation treatment.
Holding onto the railing beside him, Chen Yu pointed at the newly-made island and loudly explained, “Although the ship has filtered and modified the sediment it collected, the water content in the sediment is still significant. Hence, for the foundation treatment step, the island-building ship will be using a new generation ‘wellpoint dewatering and heap preloading’ technology.
“To put it simply, the ship will drive a special drainage pipe with holes on the sand’s outer wall. With gravity’s help, the sand will then squeeze the seawater into the dewatering wells and drawn out of the island. In turn, the sand will become more compact and allow the colloid mixed into the sand to function at maximum efficiency…”
As soon as Chen Yu’s voice fell, a machine located on the deck’s starboard side extended out of the ship and opened its hatch. In the next moment, tens of thousands of micro-aircrafts flew out of the hatch. They then landed on the island in neat and orderly rows before plunging thin tubes into the sand below them.
The scene was simply spectacular.
[So many little bees.]
[I feel like I’m watching a real-life science-fiction blockbuster.]
[UP, you’re awesome! I want to give birth to your children!]
[UP, you’re awesome! I want to give birth to your monkeys!]
[UP, you’re awesome! I want to give birth to your orangutans!]
[UP, you’re awesome! I want to give birth to your potatoes!]
[???]
[I’m at Qingdao. I’m currently rowing my boat toward the island. Everyone, give me your blessings.]
[What a load of nonsense! All ports in Qingdao are under martial law! Don’t ask me how I know this.]
[It’s the same for Dalian City.]
[Same for Harbin City.]
[Chang’an as well.]
[Same here for Inner Mongolia…][1]
Shortly after the aircrafts injected their tubes into the sand, with the help of special miniature motors, tens of thousands of water streams flowed out of the sand, quickly flooding the cofferdam’s surface once more.
Simultaneously, the island-building ship extended its suction pipes once more and drained the seawater that had flowed out.
“At this point, the island’s construction is mostly complete. The next step will be the final step of the island-building process, which is constructing the revetment. This process is speedy. I believe it won’t be long before everyone can witness the official formation of the island.”
Buzz…
After completing their task, the tens of thousands of micro-aircrafts took to the air. They then neatly flew back to the machine they came from for maintenance and charging.
Seeing this, Chen Yu could not help but admit that the combination of industry and artificial intelligence was the pinnacle of productivity.
“To build a revetment, we must first hollow out the outer layer of the cofferdam. Afterward, we’ll replace the removed silt with a layer of gravel that is several meters thick, followed by a layer of coarse sand and a layer of rock. We will then use an oscillator to lift, depress, and vibrate the layers, solidifying…”
Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, however, he suddenly fell into a daze.
“Uh…”
Moving his hands into his mask and rubbing his eyes, Chen Yu looked into the distance with a throbbing heart.
Currently, in the distant horizon, three warships could be seen slowly approaching…
