Super Dimension Technology Era

June 22nd.

South China Sea, Huayang Reef.

After twenty days of expansion, Huayang Reef, which was only 0.32 square kilometers before, has now become a large island with an area of ​​5.1 square kilometers.

The islands in the "Tu" row are distributed with an average altitude of 15 meters, especially the original Huayang Reef in the center, on which rows of stilt buildings have been built.

Using prefabricated panels and steel frames bundled and welded in advance, two 10-story buildings were constructed in about 10 days and are now undergoing interior decoration.

In addition, a large number of seawalls have also been built to resist wind waves and high tides.

The airport runway has been initially leveled, and professionals from China State Construction Engineering Corporation are working on the design of the airport.

Zhang Wei, who had just been appointed as the base commander, was inspecting various tasks at the Huayang Reef base.

Although other artificial islands and reefs are advancing in the three directions of east, west and south, Huayang Reef is no longer the southernmost outpost of actual control.

However, its strategic position continues unabated. As the center of the Nansha Islands, its importance is very important.

Whether it is the high-level airport being designed, or the port terminal, oil depot, fresh water depot, grain depot, and other supporting facilities, these all show China's determination.

Not far from Huayang Reef.

…

Inside the Nanhai Command Center in Annan Kingdom.

A group of Annan officers looked at the last picture transmitted back before the drone was shot down, their faces were ashen.

"That's too much!" Ruan Guangfu slapped the table angrily.

"It's better than us..." One person said, clenching his fists.

However, his proposal was immediately opposed by another person: "No, it is equipped with a lot of Fire Dragon 480s, and our command center is within the coverage area."

The hands and feet of the others suddenly became cold. With the patrol ships in their hands, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand even a saturation strike.

The Fire Dragon 480 is a super-large-caliber long-range rocket with a range of about 480 kilometers and an error of about 15 meters.

Not to mention patrol ships, even if an aircraft carrier approaches within 480 kilometers, it is estimated that it will not escape death. After all, no matter how powerful the anti-missile system is, it cannot withstand a saturation strike.

Ruan Guangfu looked at the Huayang Reef, which had begun to take shape, and now felt that it was very difficult. He had no way to stop it, but if he allowed it to continue, the opponent's scale would definitely expand rapidly.

You must know that Ho Chi Minh City in Annan is about 700 kilometers away from Huayang Reef.

Another artificial island under construction, Heping Island, is even closer to Ho Chi Minh City. The distance between the two sides is less than 350 kilometers. This distance is simply close to each other.

"We must find a way to stop the other side, otherwise we will have no foothold."

"But what can we do to stop it?"

Several surrounding countries, whether it is Luzon or Malaysia, are also confused at this time.

The main reason is that the construction speed of artificial islands is so fast that they can't even react, and artificial islands appear at their doorsteps.

By the time they sent people to "spectate", the dark hole was already pressing against their heads. The majestic force of 360 mm could make people tremble with fear at 480 kilometers, not to mention that it was already pressing against their foreheads.

Just when they were helpless and didn't want to retreat in despair, a tropical cyclone appeared in the tropical ocean of the Western Pacific.

This typhoon, named "Whale", is approaching Luzon from the Western Pacific, and according to weather satellite data, there are also predicted paths given by meteorological research institutions in various countries.

The whale will pass through southern Luzon, then enter the South China Sea, and finally land in Qiongzhou or Annan.

As soon as the typhoon warning signal is generated, ships approaching the Nansha Islands have to return or find a nearby safe haven.

As for sailing during a typhoon, it is estimated that insurance companies will not want to compensate for accident insurance, because it is risking one's life.

Typhoon Whale, a basin of cold water temporarily suppressed the tense atmosphere. Everyone quickly sailed to take shelter from the wind. What else could they do besides quarreling?

…

Huayang Reef.

Through the terahertz base station, Zhang Wei sent a broadcast to Chinese ships in the South China Sea, announcing that Typhoon Whale would pass through the South China Sea from June 25 to 27, and asked all ships to take shelter from the wind.

The personnel stationed at Huayang Reef also quickly mobilized to use the remaining rock-forming agent to strengthen the seawall.

Inside the "earth"-shaped northern entrance, this is a haven.

Of course, it is not completed yet. Although some port supporting facilities are not yet equipped, it is okay to make do with it.

Berths have been cleared one by one, preparing for temporary berthing of passing ships.

The specification of the shelter is to withstand high-intensity typhoons. After all, this is a dual-use port for military and civilian purposes, so the level is naturally very high.

Gao Yuan directed the staff to check the condition of the simple facilities on the dock, at least the reinforced concrete pillars used to tie the cables, to make sure they could be used.

25th, morning.

Typhoon Whale has passed through southern Luzon, and its outer reaches have approached Huayang Reef.

Gao Yuan, Zhang Wei and others were inside the Typhoon Prevention Office of the Marine Department.

There are more than 20 ships of various sizes parked in the port, most of which are fishing boats.

Due to the sweltering heat before the storm, as well as the seagulls and small frigatebirds circling the port, many fishermen have been arranged to emergency shelters on the island.

Li Qing, an old fisherman from Leizhou Peninsula, was tying up cables with a few guys.

"Huh!" Li Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the mid-air to the east. At this time, the dark clouds appeared in his sight.

Another old man tied up the cable: "The typhoon is coming."

"Let's go inside."

"When did the government build this pier?"

"Like a month ago."

"The ground is so solid."

Li Qing pointed to the lid of the radar pot not far away and whispered: "This is military standard, how can it not be strong!"

"That's true."

A group of people entered the emergency shelter. There were already many fishermen resting inside. Many of these sea runners were familiar with each other.

Everyone was chatting, but the dark clouds outside had not arrived, but the strong wind had arrived first.

Outside the shelter, strong winds carried huge waves, slapping the seawall hard, and shivering seabirds landed on the island's buildings one after another.

Human beings are still so small and fragile in the face of this natural power.

The wind and waves became more and more violent, and the sky was now dark.

At this time, a cruise ship was on the sea 37 kilometers away from Huayang Reef, and huge waves blocked the sky and hit the cruise ship.

Captain Mishima Shigetomo was sweating profusely and swinging the rudder: "Damn it!"

"Captain, we are finished." Second Officer Muto Dainori looked desperate.

They received the international broadcast from the Japan Meteorological Agency three days ago. After calculations, the confident Mishima Shigechi determined that the Sapphire Princess could reach Ho Chi Minh City on the 25th.

As a result, the Sapphire Princess suffered a power failure midway and is now towed in the hinterland of the South China Sea.

At this time, Typhoon Whale was already rapidly approaching the Sapphire Princess.

"Muto, see if there is an island nearby that can be sheltered from the wind, otherwise we will all..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Muto Daideni denied it: "Captain, there is no island around that can provide a safe haven for the Sapphire Princess."

Mishima Shigechi cursed angrily: "Baga Ya Road, hurry up and find the largest island, it is better than sinking at the bottom of the sea."

"Hi!"

"Captain, it's not good."

"What's the bad news?"

"Our maritime communications signals are down and our GPS is unstable."

Mishima couldn't help but look grim. The thick typhoon clouds in the sky had seriously affected the work of the satellite.

When ships sail in the deep sea, they can only rely on satellites in the sky.
