Chapter 737 Completion of Penglai City

On February 1, 2018, jointly organized by Wal-Mart and Future Technology, the world-renowned first VR commodity exhibition officially opened under much anticipation.

During the entire four months, hundreds of thousands of products were exhibited on the stage, covering various fields such as small handicrafts, large-scale electromechanical products, basic necessities of life, and more than 76,000 exhibitors.

Among them, the most eye-catching product is undoubtedly the Mercedes-Benz s750e launched by Daimler Group. It adopts the wireless rechargeable solid lithium-air battery designed by Future Heavy Industries, which has both a sense of strength and beauty. Although it is not a special car show, this kind of high-end gadgets always makes people linger. Many ordinary tourists who cannot afford a car can only enjoy themselves in the virtual world, so Daimler Group's Mercedes-Benz s750e successfully set a record for the highest number of views.

In addition, the product exhibition with the highest technological content is undoubtedly the products exhibited by Future Heavy Industries. Such as improved household robots, Dragoon x1 supercomputing chip, deep blue m1... On the first day of the exhibition, Future Heavy Industry won orders worth 5 billion US dollars.

According to the data released by the Future Group afterwards, in the first month of the opening of the global commodity exhibition, the total turnover easily exceeded 20 billion US dollars. Keeping this trend going, this year's Global Commodities Fair will easily break the previous record for turnover.

After attending the opening ceremony of this event, Jiang Chen took off his helmet.

Although he is the "founder" of the virtual reality network, he himself enjoys the feeling of living in reality more. As the chairman of the group, all he needs to do at the opening ceremony is read the opening speech written by the secretary and shake hands with representatives of major companies.

After shaving under Ayesha's service, he changed into a casual dress, and then Jiang Chen went out.

Today is an important day, not just the opening ceremony of the VR product exhibition, but also the completion ceremony of Penglai City.

...

On the sea north of Koro Island, two guardian-class frigates with modified electromagnetic guns, accompanied by Kilo-class submarines, have started patrolling the target sea area. Dozens of large engineering ships lined up along the edge of the construction sea area, forming a loose circle.

Countless large and small yachts and speedboats are lined up beside them. Some of them are rich people who come to Koro Island for tourism, some are investors or immigrants who bought real estate in Penglai City, and some are reporters invited by the Future Group.

The Black Hawk helicopter belonging to Star Ring Trade hovered over the sea area, carrying the staff to conduct the final inspection of the construction site. Aurora-20 suddenly pierced through the clouds and roared past, attracting cheers and whistles from tourist reporters.

It's sunny today,

There is no sign of a storm within a hundred miles, so it is a good day for the completion ceremony.

On a cruise ship, tourists in beachwear and bikinis leaned against the railing, looking out at the calm sea.

"Shet, that fighter jet is so cool!"

"I heard it's called Jiguang-20, but I don't know which one is better than f35."

"I'm more concerned about where is Penglai City? If I'm not mistaken about the date, it should be today."

"A city on the sea, Atlantis in the east, is so romantic. Dear, can we live there in the future?"

"Okay, baby, you have the final say...if the future group doesn't skip tickets."

"Look! The sea is moving!"

With an exclamation, everyone stopped making jokes and looked towards the sea intently.

Yes, the sea is moving!

Bean-sized air bubbles gushed out from the bottom of the sea, and the sea surface with a radius of tens of miles rolled with turbid air bubbles, even covering the billowing waves. After about two minutes, the tumbling bubbles stopped. The sea level rose suddenly, and a small hill with a radius of hundreds of meters was lifted abruptly.

Afterwards, the sea water spread to the surroundings, and the ships and yachts surrounded by the outer ring were like leaves in the waves, being pushed away by the sudden rising tide! The closer ship even tilted at a 45° angle!

"Boat! The boat is about to fall!" A tourist huddled beside the cabin and exclaimed in shock.

"What a ghost! There is no water leakage and no rollover, what a fart!"

"Look! Over there! Penglai City has come out!"

"God, what did I see..."

"Holy Virgin Mary!"

"Buddha!"

"Hold the grass!"

Like a sharp steel blade, the steep obelisk-like building emerges from the sea like a pinnacle.

Then, metal buildings with a radius of hundreds of meters rose upwards with the water surface, and tall buildings sprung up from the water surface at a speed visible to the naked eye. The lifted sea water falls from the top of the building, forming natural waterfalls, covering the face of Penglai City like a veil.

The sea water fell to the surface of the sea, and white mist was stirred up in a radius of a hundred miles.

The wind blows gently, and the white fog waves move with the wind, dancing coquettishly on the sea.

The steel split the waves, and the waves surged in all directions.

The waves beat against the side of the ship, making a muffled sound like a heavy hammer hitting steel. Standing on this majestic Guardian-class frigate, Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and held up his binoculars to watch the rise of the city.

"The main building has been raised!"

"Unlock the stability lock, and the second ladder goes up!"

"The ascent is complete, the graphene pipeline is connected!"

"Draingate..."

Like a spinning top, the circular main building is stable on the water. Then the ring of the foamed aluminum structure rose, and the graphene pipe protruded from the hole, and precisely penetrated into the side of the central island, forming this circular artificial giant island!

The sea water poured into the building floods the street, washing the shells, conch, and seaweed all over the street into the sea, forming a waterfall on the edge of the island. After completing the floating operation of the island, the staff immediately opened the pressure valve at the bottom of the island to discharge the seawater poured into the drainage and water supply system.

"Is this Penglai City? Although it is not as beautiful as in the virtual reality, it always feels more shocking than what I saw in the virtual reality." Standing next to Jiang Chen, Xia Shiyu sighed.

Aisha didn't speak, but from those sapphire-like eyes, Jiang Chen could still read the shocking feeling.

As for Natasha, as a Russian diplomat, she is lowering her head at the moment, not knowing what she is thinking.

"Don't worry, I bet it will definitely be as beautiful as the one in virtual reality." Looking at the city from a distance, Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The most critical, and also the most likely to go wrong, work to raise the main building has been completed, and Jiang Chen's clenched hands finally relaxed. Drainage took two full days, followed by filling in other structures between the outer ring and the central island.

These structures are like building blocks, which have been built on the seabed, and only need to be put together step by step.

This takes about five days.

After all the work is done, the rest is the general cleaning. Workers in protective suits will be the first to land on the island, driving garbage trucks from house to house to clean up small things like seaweed, shells, and jellyfish and sea shrimp.

During the process of surfacing, Penglai City brought a lot of "local products" from the bottom of the sea, and now the entire artificial island is filled with a strong smell of the sea. If the rubbish is not cleaned up, no one will want to live on this island.

This seemingly simplest cleaning work is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive link in the entire floating work. It is estimated that the Future Group will use 1,000 "Xiaolin", 2,000 cleaning personnel, 6,000 cleaning drones, 50 garbage trucks and water tankers to complete the entire cleaning work.

Expected to take a month. (To be continued.)
