Chapter 897 Depth near Lantau Island!

If Yang Ming was just reclaiming land from the sea, Mailisi and Lin Xiuzhi would have nothing. Now the boss actually wants to blow up Lantau Island and reclaim land from the soil of Lantau Island, which shocked these two people.

"Mailisi, go back and get ready tonight and call the relevant engineers. Tomorrow morning, we will head to Lantau Island after breakfast."

Merith wrote it down.

He left and returned to his office.

Lin Xiuzhi is still there.

"Boss, will blowing up Lantau Island destroy the feng shui of Hong Kong?" Lin Xiuzhi asked in a low voice.

Destroy Feng Shui?

. . .

Have a night's rest.

Early the next day.

Yang Ming had just gotten up to wash up. When he came down from upstairs, Mailisi and Lin Xiuzhi were already here. In addition to Mailisi, there were also many land reclamation engineers, as well as Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang.

The two of them suddenly received a call from Butler Lin last night.

However, no matter how powerful the two of them are, they may not be able to guess what Sir Yang asked them to do.

After breakfast at the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.

The group of people took a car to Repulse Bay Pier.

At this time, there were already many large ships parked at the pier.

Yang Ming, Mailisi, Chen Bo, Song Shaoguang, Lin Xiuzhi, the land reclamation engineers, as well as Chen Zhenhua, Zhang Guohua and other bodyguards boarded the ship.

Leave here by boat.

Passing near Tangbo Island.

Yang Ming, Sara, Diana and others had visited this small island near Repulse Bay several times before.

There are many small islands like this near Xiangjiang.

However, these small islands are too small and do not have much development value.

Neither luxury houses nor resorts can be built, and ports and terminals are not of much value.

Only by reclaiming land from the sea, taking these small islands as the center, and then expanding the area of ​​the islands, will there be value in development.

leave here.

Drive all the way southwest.

Along the way, I saw the boundless sea.

When they were not far from Lamma Island, Yang Ming and others had already noticed this Lamma Island.

At the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay, Yang Ming also saw Lamma Island. Lamma Island is one of the main power plants of Xiangjiang Electric Company, and it is now expanding in scale.

Nowadays, in addition to a certain number of Xiangjiang residents living on Lamma Island, there are mainly fishermen living on it and staff of the Lamma Island Power Plant of the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company.

Yang Ming did not go to Lamma Island.

Instead, continue south.

Then head north.

"Boss, that area is the West Lamma Strait, and the East Lamma Strait is located between Lamma Island and Hong Kong Island."

This area is the West Lamma Strait, and the water here seems to be very blue.

The engineer on the side looked at Yang Ming and Mai Lisi and said: "Boss, General Manager Mai Lisi, the West Lamma Strait is located between Lamma Island, Cheung Chau and Kau Yi Chau. It runs north-south and is about 4 nautical miles long. It is about 3.2 nautical miles to 4 nautical miles wide, and the water depth is 7 to 15 meters. The southern part is wide and deep, and the northern entrance is narrow and shallow. The channel is wide and clear of obstructions, making it easy for ships to navigate. However, this area is not deep as a whole."

what does this mean?

This means that the deepest place here is 15 meters, and the shallowest place is about 7 meters.

Historically, Mr. Dong, Yang Ming's eldest brother, was the first to propose land reclamation during his tenure, because he considered that Lantau Island and even the vicinity of Hong Kong Island were really not too deep.

In this case, land reclamation is not only easy, but also easy to solve the land and population conflicts in Hong Kong.

in contrast.

In places such as the South China Sea, where the depth is deeper, sand blowing can also be used for land reclamation.

Nowadays, on a big ship, you may not feel it.

The depth of these places has long been measured, including the depth of each place recorded.

Although over time, the depth will change to a certain extent.

This area is indeed a shallow sea.

Victoria Harbor also looks very deep on the surface. In fact, the average depth is about 12 meters.

Usually, 1-ton ships are usually maritime ships. Generally, the draft of a 9-ton ship is about 2 meters. Since cargo ships carry a large amount of cargo, the full-load draft of a 10-ton seagoing ship is about meters.

The 5-ton class is about 11 meters, and the 17-ton class is about meters.

It is precisely because of that that the depth of Victoria Harbor is enough to accommodate the cargo capacity of a large ship of 50,000 tons.

Now the West Lamma Strait seems to be a little far away from Victoria Harbour. In fact, the deepest point is only a few meters deep.

Yang Ming was blowing the wind there.

When the engineer on the side told Yang Ming in detail, before Yang Ming, he was not very clear about the depth here. Now that he learned that it was only more than ten meters deep, he felt that he had filled in all this area, leaving A navigable waterway is also available.

Mailisi and Lin Xiuzhi were also surprised. They had thought that these places would be at least tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters deep, but they never expected that they were only more than ten meters deep.

Many people are afraid of the deep sea. Now looking at the blue water floating here, they feel inexplicably scared.

Uncle Chen and Song Shaoguang didn't know why Sir Yang asked them to follow him at first. At this time, they had some guesses, but they were not sure.

This is a large area, even connected to the nearby Changzhou. Yang Ming can't believe how much land it will fill, how many people it will feed, and how much wealth it will bring.

He knew that changes had to be made.

If it is like what happened in history, just like the scholar rebellion, it will not happen in three years, wasting too much time and opportunities, and also leading to the gradual decline of Xiangjiang in history.

Leaving the West Lamma Strait and seeing heading to an island.

"Boss, that's Cheung Chau."

Cheung Chau Island?

The reason why Yang Ming knew about this island was that he had been there in his previous life and had often seen it in Xiangjiang movies.

Moreover, compared to Lantau Island, this Cheung Chau Island is considered a well-developed island. Historically, more than 30,000 people have appeared here. If normal tourists are included, it may be even more.

Now Yang Ming did not go to Changzhou Island. He continued to move forward and saw a nearby island in Shiguzhou. He continued to move forward and came to a place called Wangdong Bay.

This already belongs to Lantau Island.

"Boss, this is Mong Tung Bay on Lantau Island, but I don't know if there is anyone here now?"

At this time, there were probably only a few thousand people living on Lantau Island.

Lantau Island is so large that these indigenous fishermen are very scattered. You may occasionally see someone somewhere.

"Can we park the boat in front?"

It is not possible to park the ship just anywhere. This large ship weighs several hundred tons and has a very shallow draft. At least there must be a suitable place.

Someone went to the captain of the boat and learned that it could dock at the shore.

When the big ship stopped smoothly and put down the small boat, Yang Ming, Mailisi, Lin Xiuzhi, Chen Bo, Song Shaoguang and others went to the shore of Wangdong Bay from the small boat.

Yang Ming found that the environment here was still very harsh. Except for trees and sea water lapping on the shore, there were no other people at all.
