Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

Time passed quietly, and in the South China Sea, the island-building behavior of Meiji Reef still attracted global attention.

The Philippines monkeys jumped the most. During this period, they not only sent warships to harass, but also sent many fishing boats to harass. But it was useless. Tens of thousands of Chinese ships were the best protective barrier. During this period, the fishing boats of each other collided many times here.

In addition to the Philippines monkeys, the United States is also very anxious here.

The two aircraft carrier battle groups have been coming quickly, but the distance between the two aircraft carrier battle groups is too far. At the same time, the sinking of the aircraft carrier in Somalia has also made the US Navy very cautious. Before they are fully sure, they dare not provoke China too much.

China is not easy to mess with, and now China's missile technology is also very powerful.

So for the island-building of Meiji Reef, they can only oppose and instigate neighboring countries to conflict with China, but they dare not really destroy China's behavior.

In the lagoon of Meiji Reef, two giants are parked there, constantly spraying sand and gravel onto the islands and reefs. After about a month of construction, the entire island-building work is nearing its final stage.

The entire lagoon was cleaned by the two giants, and the water depth of the lagoon was changed according to different functional divisions.

In some places, the depth reaches 100 meters, and this water depth is reserved for submarine bases.

Other places have deep and shallow water depths, and the planning is very reasonable.

After the planning, various ships can be docked in the entire lagoon. In the military port, even 100,000-ton aircraft carriers can be docked.

The planning of Meiji Reef is now half civilian and half military. The dredger also filled a dam several tens of meters wide in the middle of the entire lagoon, directly dividing Meiji Reef into two.

Military on the left and civilian on the right. The military area is slightly smaller, and the civilian area is slightly larger.

In one month of island building, the two giants built an island area of ​​12.64 square kilometers on the reef, which is really scary.

However, this is mainly because the reef is relatively shallow from the sea level and is easier to fill.

On Meiji Island, a large number of workers are busy, and various modular buildings are being hoisted and installed quickly. This construction speed directly scared the Philippine monkeys who are always monitoring here.

Damn, China's construction speed is too scary.

In one month, such a large island was built. Look at other islands and reefs in the South China Sea. China will not continue to fill islands here.

If it keeps filling, it will be terrible.

They know the strategic significance of the island. If China continues to build here, China's army can be stationed here on a large scale.

This place is too close to them. If China stations a large number of troops on these islands and reefs, they may be covered by China's firepower at any time. With the army of their own country, they can't resist China's attack at all.

They know the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. The battle with Vietnam at sea a few years ago was very bloody.

That was when China only had a few ships. In recent years, China's economy has taken off and its military strength has increased significantly. If you provoke China again, it will not be a matter of a few broken ships.

Fei Houzi was a little scared, but China's island-building work was not over.

This time, China not only wants to build Meiji Island, but also take this opportunity to build two other islands.

The other two islands are Yongshu Island and Zhubi Island. In this way, the three islands form an iron triangle, less than 300 kilometers apart from each other. At a speed of 30 knots for naval warships, it takes less than five hours to get from one island to another.

Moreover, compared with the original time and space, the area of ​​these three islands in this time and space is larger. Because the construction cost is lower and the construction speed is faster.

For example, Meiji Island, the area of ​​the original time and space is only 6.13 square kilometers, and now it is 12.64 square kilometers. The area has more than doubled, and the area has expanded, and the space for operation is larger.

The same is true for the planning of Yongshu Island and Zhubi Island. For example, Yongshu Island, China only filled 2.8 square kilometers in the original time and space.

But in this time and space, because the cost is much cheaper and the speed is faster, China is preparing to fill up the entire Yongshu Reef bit by bit. The entire Yongshu Reef covers an area of ​​108 square kilometers, and the area suitable for island building accounts for more than half, and the lagoon area in the middle can be transformed into an excellent port.

After the construction here is completed, the strategic significance will be great. You must know that this place is less than 500 kilometers away from the jumping Yue monkeys. After the construction here is completed, China's long-range fire can send rockets from here to the Yue monkeys' homes.

The distance of less than 500 kilometers is completely within the combat radius of China's fighter jets. With the performance of China's fighter jets, it can reach the Yue monkeys' homes in 20 minutes.

And China's latest fighter jets have a combat radius that easily exceeds1500 kilometers, take off from here, and easily cover Yuehou Island. Even the southernmost tip of Yuehou Island is only 900 kilometers away from Yongshu Island.

The twin-engine heavy fighter that China is developing has a combat radius of more than 1800 kilometers. If auxiliary fuel tanks are added, the combat radius will reach 2000 kilometers.

It is more than 1800 kilometers from Yongshu to Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, more than 1400 kilometers to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, more than 1300 kilometers to Singapore, more than 800 kilometers to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, more than 1400 kilometers to Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, more than 500 kilometers to Brunei, and more than 1000 kilometers to Manila, the capital of the Philippines.

So how important the strategic significance here is, it is clear at a glance.

If China builds Yongshu Island into a large military base, it is equivalent to setting up a Dinghaishenzhen here, and all the surrounding countries are within the strike range of China's fighters.

Moreover, the area here is large enough, and there are many fighters that can be deployed. Large radar stations and large military ports can also be deployed. If we get a few J-20 squadrons here, the neighboring countries will probably have nightmares every day.

The monkeys jumping around are all afraid of power, not virtue. Only when your knife is on their necks, they know to talk to China, talk and do business well.

The planned construction area of ​​​​Zhubi Island is also very large, with a planned construction area of ​​​​16 square kilometers. After construction, it will also become an excellent port.

Once the iron triangle is successfully built, China's actual control ability here will be greatly enhanced. At that time, even if the United States pulls all the aircraft carrier battle groups here, it will not work.

After all, there are too many things that can be stored on the island. Larger radars, more missiles, and more things can be installed on the island.

For example, anti-ship missiles, how many can you carry on a warship.

And on the island, just like the current Meiji Island, as long as you want, you can easily deploy thousands of land-based anti-ship missiles on it. These anti-ship missiles may also be hypersonic anti-ship missiles with a range of 1,500 kilometers. If thousands of these things are deployed, twenty aircraft carrier battle groups will come over and deliver food.
