America's Road to Fame

Chapter 354 Attack on Atlanta
According to experts' estimates, since the gold mines here are open-pit mines and are extremely easy to mine, if all goes well, the gold mines here will probably be mined within a year or two without causing too much damage to the environment.

Because the entire Atlanta Island was originally full of rocks, and the soil was only laid later.

This place is located on the side of the central mountain range. After the gold mine was discovered, no soil was laid nearby. After the gold mine here was mined, the soil was filled and trees were planted.

Now the whole of Atlanta, except for a few places, more than 80% of the area where the soil can be laid has been completed, and in the southern half of Atlanta, from the temporary airport and the central mountain range to the south , Tropical trees have been planted on a large scale to green the island.

It is estimated that at the current rate of development, the southern peninsula may not be developed within a few years. Therefore, it is very appropriate to complete the greening first and improve the natural environment of Atlanta.

The beaches of the original Hemi Islands, including Love Island, Building Block Island and Luwa Island, are all under construction. The original beaches have been transported to Atlanta Island and laid on the east side of Atlanta. The coast, so if the construction of the road around the island of Atlanta is completed, then drive around the island all the way, the scenery on the east and west sides of the island is different.

The east side of the island is a silver-white beach, while the west side is a reef, showing the landforms of two tropical islands.

Drive along the ring road to the southern tip of Atlanta, and you can see the Yach Bridge under construction. At present, the bridge extends to the sea for about two kilometers, and you can see the engineering ship in the distance. Filled with cement piles.

Although the main bridge from Atlanta to Love Island is only about 10 kilometers long, the construction difficulty of the Yach Bridge is still not low.

It's not that the sea between the two islands is very deep, because the last volcanic eruption and the uplift of the seabed's crust made the deepest point between the two islands only more than ten meters.

But this sea-crossing bridge is designed as a double-layer bridge. The upper layer of the bridge is a two-way four-lane first-class road surface, while the lower layer is a two-way light rail. Therefore, the overall construction difficulty is much more complicated than that of a single-layer road bridge.

At present, the South Pacific Industrial Investment Corporation's investment in Malus Island continues to increase. On Malus Island, their administrative center is Lorenga in the northeast of the island, but the closest point to Atlanta Island is Malus Island. the northwest end of.

Therefore, at present, the South Pacific Industrial Investment Corporation has invested in the northwest of Malus Island and built a small port, which is specially used for the transportation of goods and personnel to Atlanta.

At the same time, the laying of fresh water pipelines to Atlanta Island was also started in this direction. Therefore, at the end of Malus Island, the Atlanta Waterworks directly built a water treatment plant to transfer the fresh water from Malus Island to After treatment, it is directly transported to Atlanta Island through the submarine freshwater pipeline.

At present, the cement plant invested by the South Pacific Industrial Investment Corporation has started to produce cement. As the island is mountainous and rich in bauxite, it is very suitable for the manufacture of cement.Now a steady stream of cement is shipped to Atlanta every day for various constructions there.

After the cement plant is put into operation, another medium-sized steel plant and petrochemical oil refinery are also under construction. After the completion of the construction, not only will the steel and oil products used for construction be delivered to Atlanta Island, but its production capacity will also be able to Reversely provide products for Papua New Guinea.

So far, the total investment of the South Pacific Industrial Investment Corporation in Malus Island has exceeded 15 billion US dollars, making it the largest investor in Malus Island.

The population of Malus Island is less than 2, and at least one-third of the local families will be employed in companies related to South Pacific industrial investment, which will become the largest component of local GDP.

The South Pacific Industrial Investment Company under William Chen's plan is very clear, that is, only the most environmentally friendly projects will be kept in Atlanta, and other projects that will damage the environment will be outside the island. Island to complete the investment.

Even so, their investment has been warmly welcomed by Papua New Guinea. After all, their Malus province has no economic characteristics, and the locals still live in a very primitive way, and even once relied on hosting refugees for Australia. make money.

However, after the last tsunami caused by the volcanic eruption of Atlanta, which caused mass casualties of refugees hosted by Australia on Malus Island, this refugee policy has led to criticism from Australia's domestic opposition parties and international human rights organizations. Therefore, Australia has The scale of refugees on Malus Island is being gradually eliminated.

This also means that the money Malus Island can earn from the Australian government by virtue of this policy will become less and less, and will eventually be zero.

Therefore, at this time, the South Pacific Industrial Investment Corporation's investment in their local area became more and more important.

Not to mention that Malus Island can still earn a lot of money by exporting fresh water to Atlanta every year. They have relatively rich fresh water resources, but if these fresh water are not exported to Atlanta, they will eventually flow into the sea. It is wasted in vain, so why not be able to export fresh water to make money.

With the development of Atlanta, the current management committee and Southern Cross Security Company have made corresponding adjustments.

Southern Cross Security is divided into a Security Division and a Defense Division.

Internally, the security department accepts the jurisdiction of Alicia, the legal committee member among the members of the management committee. Wearing a beige uniform, two security centers at the north end and the south end are temporarily set up on the island of Atlanta, and they purchase police equipment from the United States and Police helicopters, etc., as the internal order maintenance department of Atlanta.

Externally, the defense department is under the jurisdiction of Roger Dray, the safety committee member of the management committee. He wears a blue and white camouflage uniform and will include Chen William's escort, coast guard, and Jimu Island Maritime Defense Base.

Sheila Reis, who used to be the chief financial advisor of Chen William's financial team, became the financial member of the management committee, in charge of the Atlanta Fund, and allocated funds for the construction of Atlanta Island.

The Atlanta Court, established by Alicia, issued the local statutes of the island of Atlanta, and joined the American Court Organization as a full member, and will rely on local statutes appropriately modified based on American law , to maintain the daily law and order of Atlanta.

Nelly Fisher, the human resources committee member nominated by chief committee member Erica, will be responsible for the talent introduction and management of Atlanta Island.

The previously hired chief geologist, Bayue Vaholan, also agreed to serve as the geological transportation member of the Management Committee of Atlanta Island, responsible for the geological research of Atlanta Island and the planning of island transportation construction.

In this way, after the opening of the Management Committee Building, the structure and responsibilities of the Management Committee were further clarified, and more effective management of Atlanta Island began.
