Chapter 171 Reclamation in progress
After seeing Lu Linfeng's methods, the commander-in-chief of Yongshu Island still expressed doubts that they had filled the two sandy areas into land, but he would rather misbelieve than let go of such a thing. So after Lu Linfeng left, the commander-in-chief immediately ordered the two warships from Yongshu Island to set sail immediately, heading towards the former Aonan Shoal and Zengmu Shoal respectively. If the situation is true, report the information immediately and stay in place.
When he ordered the warship to set sail, he also reported the incident to the country and sent back the video footage of his contact with Lu Linfeng. The higher-ups immediately paid attention to it after seeing the pictures transmitted back, and immediately mobilized satellites for remote sensing detection. It didn't matter, they discovered that the land area of Nanwei Beach was increasing rapidly. After dawn, the land area had increased to more than 400 square kilometers, but they did not see any people or equipment working (Lu Linfeng was invisible, and he was also afraid of being seen by satellites). But at half past seven, the area stopped increasing (Lu Linfeng teleported back to HQ City).
Lu Linfeng had already seen the shadow of a warship when he left. They could arrive in half an hour at most. In addition, China saw through satellites that there were runways on Aonan Island and Zengmu Island, and immediately dispatched the air force to fly to the two newly emerged islands from the mainland, the most important of which were more than a dozen transport aircraft. Such a large area of islands can never be controlled by Cochin again, so the country attaches great importance to it this time.
The Vietnamese side received the news a little late, mainly because the thirty or so soldiers at Fort Pengbo were knocked unconscious by Lu Linfeng and did not wake up until after eight o'clock in the morning. Nanwei Island, controlled by Cochin, immediately sent people to check, but they were a step too late. Not only did Ao Nang Island have a Chinese warship, but several Y-20s soon landed.
The fact that Nanwei Beach and Zengmu Shoal suddenly became islands immediately caused an uproar internationally, but it was only Jiaozhi that was at odds with China. Out of concern for Nanwei Beach, the Chinese side even captured the Jiaozhi garrison on Pengbo Fort and completely controlled Nanwei Beach.
Lu Linfeng didn't go to class after returning to HQ City. Now the school doesn't have high requirements for him. As long as he doesn't fail the exam, it's up to him whether he comes to attend classes or not. He has been busy with company registration for the past few days, and in the evening he went to Nanwei Beach to dump sand and gravel. Although some soldiers who had just entered the island discovered that the island's area was increasing rapidly, orders were issued from above that no one was allowed to approach the island's growth area. This is also a message conveyed to Lu Linfeng by the above: You can make whatever you want, I will not interfere, and I will not investigate how you do it.
In one night, only a narrow lake of about 10 square kilometers in the central area of Nanwei Beach was left unfilled. However, Lu Linfeng does not intend to fill it in. As for whether China will fill it in the future, it depends on their own wishes. Even so, the entire Nanwei Beach has become an island with a land area of more than 1110 square kilometers, becoming the largest island around the Nansha Islands.
In the early morning, when Lu Linfeng left Nanwei Island, he passed by Yongshu Island. He took out a gold brick from the space ring, cut it off and engraved a line of words on it: "Tomorrow night, Beikang and Nankang shoals will be used for land reclamation. Remember take over."
Although the land reclamation was to be done tomorrow night, Lu Linfeng went to Beikang Shoal and Nankang Shoal to carry out operations that night. But he only filled in half, consolidated the reefs in the entire area, and then filled in two large reefs about 10 meters away from the sea. When he completely fills these two sandy areas into islands, the total area will be about 1700 square meters.
Lu Linfeng's unilateral notice made the country's top officials busy. They wanted him to slow down first, but they couldn't find anyone to talk to, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet. Nanwei Beach has filled in more than a thousand square kilometers of islands. The two places are estimated to be about the same area. If such a large area of an island is occupied by other countries, it will be a huge loss.
On the evening of the agreed day, when Lu Linfeng went to Beikang Shoal, he stopped by Xia Nanwei Island and found that several warships had docked here. They were probably waiting for the island to be formed, so they immediately went to receive it.
Lu Linfeng spent six hours filling in the two sandy islands. He asked Sha Niu to measure the area. Beikang Island has 1032 square kilometers and Nankang Island has 301 square kilometers, which is much smaller than he expected. Lu Linfeng also used a gold brick to notify the garrison on Nanwei Island to take over Beikang and Nankang Islands, and he flew towards Huayang Reef.
The reef area of Huayang Reef is 7.6 square kilometers, while the island area is only 0.28 square kilometers. While it was still early, Lu Linfeng filled in the entire Huayang Reef into an island covering an area of nearly eight square kilometers. At the same time, he also went to Dongjiao nearby, knocked out the Jiaozhi soldiers on the island, and filled Dongjiao into a 37 square kilometer island. After filling in, the dozen Jiaozhi soldiers were thrown onto the middle reef next to them.
After notifying the people on Huayang Island to occupy the East Reef, Lu Linfeng returned to HQ City to sleep.
In the next few days, Lu Linfeng did not go back to land reclamation and stayed peacefully in HQ City until all the procedures for the "Energy Exploration Company" were completed. As for Yuriko, she has been preparing some materials in the past two days to apply for a work visa in China. After all, she is "clean and clear" and needs to prepare too many things.
After Lu Linfeng applied for the "Energy Exploration Company", the next step is to prepare the company. He has already transferred 1000 million yuan to the company's account. As for the company's business direction, it is to produce solar panels currently on the market. The management and operation of the company have been temporarily handed over to hired professional managers.
Turning off the TV, Lu Linfeng shook his head. Now three islands with an area of more than 300 square kilometers suddenly appeared in the South China Sea, and China has regained Nanwei Beach (Nanwei Island) and Dongjiao (East Island). At this time, the relationship with Jiaozhi is very tense. Now Jiaozhi is also keeping a close eye on Nanwei Island. Under the instigation of America, a country that fears chaos in the world, it is confronting China near Nanwei Island.
Lu Linfeng thought for a moment, then took out a gold brick, cut off a piece, pressed it into the size of an A5 paper, and carved several figures on it. On the left is the morphological diagram of Daxian Reef, then an arrow points to a group of islands and reefs, and then another arrow points to several islands. The islands at the back are partly the same as the islands and reefs in the front, so the different parts are naturally the filled-in land. There is also a date and time at the bottom right of the board, which is midnight five days later.
Lu Linfeng threw the gold plate on Yongshu Island. The thing was immediately sent to the headquarters, and the picture information was reported to the country.
