Chapter 7 Hongwan Airport Swan Harbor!
"Di... Please choose the construction location."
At this time, the system prompt sounded, and then jumped out of the 3D plane thumbnail projection of the Emerald Island.
The undulating mountains, meandering rivers, towering volcanoes, open plains, and all the natural terrain were clearly displayed in front of Jiang Cheng's eyes.
Jiang Cheng's eyes moved, focusing on the Dream Paradise Resort Special Zone.
Dream Paradise Resort is located in the southeast of Emerald Island, with a planned area of 213 square kilometers, ranking fourth among the seven major urban areas of Emerald Island, with a length of 391 kilometers from north to south and 78 kilometers from east to west.
The whole territory is bordered by the Six Fingers Mountains in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east, forming a long and narrow polygon with a coastline of 496 kilometers and 23 large and small bays, mainly including Dream Bay, Paradise Bay, Centipede Bay and Moon Bay.
To be honest, although the scenery of Dream Paradise Resort is unique, the long and narrow terrain and many peaks make it not suitable for large-scale construction facilities such as airports.
Jiang Cheng also thought about placing the airport in the neighboring city of Gonzalo. If the city is built in the future, the two urban areas can also share an airport and save a lot of money.
However, in this way, Jiang Cheng had to build an extra expressway for this purpose, and even build a high-speed railway in order to meet the large-scale passengers in the future.
Comparing the two, it seems a bit unworthy!
In addition, there is another point worth considering. In the future, the city of Gonzalo has to rank among the top cities in the world. How can a small 4C-class airport meet the passenger throughput of tens of millions of people?
Therefore, this small 4C airport is better placed in the Dream Paradise Resort.
But where should it be placed?
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, kept moving his fingers, and searched on the plane projection of Dream Paradise Resort.
Suddenly, a relatively gentle hillside area appeared in Jiang Cheng's line of sight, making his eyes suddenly brighter.
It is located in the south of Dream Paradise City, with the Six Fingers Mountains in the north and Hongyue Bay in the south.
The direction of the runway is straight into the sea. The only thing to worry about is whether its long and narrow terrain can meet the needs of the length of the airport runway. If it is not enough, I am afraid that the plane will fall into the sea before it takes off.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately dragged the 3D model of the airport and placed it towards the hillside.
"Di... Found the airport building space, the construction conditions are being calculated..."
"Di... The conditions for the construction of the airport are met, please name the airport!"
"Huh... it's finally possible!"
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
It seems that developing the island is really not an easy task. It has just begun, and it has encountered a lot of difficulties.
"Hongwan Airport!"
Since the airport is adjacent to Hongyue Bay, of course, it is more appropriate to name it because of the place.
"Di... The airport was named successfully, and we are working hard to build..."
The mechanical sound of the system sounded, and there was a progress bar on the main interface, which displayed the construction countdown: 7 days.
At the same time, Jiang Cheng noticed that the entire 20-mile radius of Hongyue Bay was suddenly shrouded in a thick white fog that seemed to disappear from the 3D projection.
"Uh... well, this is also the black technology of the system!"
Muttering in his heart, Jiang Cheng returned the interface to the construction system again.
Regarding the port construction plan, Jiang Cheng thought about it carefully, although the Dream Paradise Resort is positioned as a tourist city, mainly for tourists from all over the world.
However, it is also a city after all, and there will be immigrants who come to settle here in the future.
In addition, Dream Paradise is the largest of the four resort areas, reaching more than 200 square kilometers. Such an urban area is enough to accommodate millions of people.
Therefore, considering two aspects, the Dream Paradise Resort cannot be positioned as an ordinary tourist destination, but must fully consider the huge resident population in the future.
As a result, the port must expand in size, because it not only has to park cruise ships, passenger ships, and disembark passengers, but also supports some functions of a commercial port, such as loading and unloading goods, replenishing supplies, and so on.
After thinking about this, Jiang Cheng directly positioned the port as a commercial grade.
【Name】: Small commercial port
[Parameters]: Channel X6, breakwater X3, wharf X12, railway X4 in the port, other supporting facilities X1, large berth X16, medium berth X32, small berth X60
[Area]: 2.6 square kilometers of land, 21 square kilometers of water
[Cost]: 13.2 million US dollars
【Time required】: 7 days
"Huh...it's another $13.2 million, I can still hold on!"
Jiang Cheng's eyes twitched violently, he exhaled forcibly, and pressed the "build" button with a painful face.
"Di... Please choose the construction location!"
Dream Paradise Resort has superior natural conditions, with 23 large and small bays. However, the location of the port construction must not be too close to the tourist core area, and it must have a deep draft.
After such screening, there are only two bays left to choose from, one is Centipede Bay in the hinterland of Liuzhi Mountain, and the other is Swan Bay in the northernmost part of the city.
Centipede Bay has a special geographical location. It is close to the Six Fingers Mountains. It is surrounded by cliffs up to 100 meters on three sides.
Such a good place is very suitable for developing into a diving resort for diving enthusiasts to take an adventure. Therefore, Jiang Cheng thought about it and excluded it.
So, only Swan Bay is left.
Swan Bay, located in the north of Dream Paradise Resort, has a long and narrow terrain with calm wind and waves. It goes 12 kilometers inland and looks like a slender and graceful neck of a swan.
If the port is built here, it is just like the Hongwan Airport in the south and the north, forming two major transportation hubs that echo the north and the south, which not only perfectly staggers the core area of the resort, but also plays a role in dispersing the flow of people.
That's it!
"Drip... The port construction conditions are met, please name the port!"
"Swan Harbor!"
"Di... The port has been named successfully, and efforts are under construction..."
The normal operation of airports and ports, and even the entire city, is inseparable from power and energy facilities, so the next thing to do is the construction of power facilities.
Jiang Cheng directly called out the energy building section of the construction system.
Thermal power plants, hydroelectric power plants, wind power plants, geothermal power plants, tidal power plants, solar power plants, nuclear power plants...
There are all kinds of power plants, covering the entire interface, making Jiang Cheng dazzled.
As for how to choose, he hesitated for a while.
However, one thing is certain is that the use of coal, oil and other fuels to generate electricity in thermal power plants is definitely not desirable.
Just kidding, this is a holiday resort, and the big chimney with gray and black smoke is erected, which is really unpleasant, and it does not scare the tourists away.
Moreover, even for the sake of long-term consideration, it is advisable to choose a clean, pollution-free, or even zero-emission power plant for the construction of this power plant.
Emerald Island is located in the west of the Pacific Ocean, and its natural energy resources such as sea water, wind power, sunlight, and tides are very superior. Therefore, the development of emission-free natural power plants is definitely the first choice.
What makes Jiang Cheng feel embarrassed is that the cost of these natural power plants is extremely high and the power generation is relatively limited. It is very difficult to build a single power plant to meet the electricity consumption of millions of people.
However, if the comprehensive planning and the construction of a batch of solar power plants, wind power plants, and tidal power plants are combined, it can barely meet the initial needs of urban construction.
As for future demand, the production capacity can be expanded accordingly.
After some deliberation, Jiang Cheng still intends to take the road of clean energy.
