Chapter 7 Rainbow Bay Airport Swan Harbor!
"Drip... Please choose the location to build."

At this time, the system prompt sounded, and then jumped out of the 3D flat thumbnail projection of Emerald Island.

The undulating mountains, meandering rivers, towering volcanoes, open plains, and all natural terrains are clearly displayed in front of Jiang Cheng's eyes.

Jiang Cheng moved his eyes and focused 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 urban areas of Emerald Island. It is 391 kilometers long from north to south and 78 kilometers long from east to west.

The whole territory is bordered by the Liuzhi Mountains in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east, forming a long and narrow polygon. The coastline in the territory is 496 kilometers long, and there are 23 bays of different sizes, mainly including Dream Bay, Paradise Bay, Centipede Bay, and Moon Bay.

To be honest, although the scenery of Dream Paradise Resort is unique, its narrow terrain and many peaks make it unsuitable for the construction of large-scale construction facilities such as airports.

Jiang Cheng also thought about placing the airport in the nearby city of Gonzales. If this city is built in the future, the two urban areas can also share the same airport, saving a lot of money.

But in this way, Jiang Cheng had to build an extra expressway for this purpose, and even build a high-speed railway to meet the large-scale passengers in the future.

Comparing the two, it seems a little worthless!
In addition, there is another point worth considering. In the future, Gonzalez City will be among the top cities in the world. How can a small 4C-level airport meet the passenger throughput of tens of millions of passengers?
Therefore, it is better to put this small 4C airport in the Dream Paradise Resort.

But where exactly should it be placed?

Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, and kept moving his fingers to search on the plane projection of Dream Paradise Resort.

Suddenly, a relatively gentle hillside area appeared in Jiang Cheng's sight, which made his eyes brighten up.

It is located in the south of Dream Paradise City, with Liuzhi Mountains in the north and Hongyue Bay in the south. It can be said that it is backed by mountains and facing the sea, with excellent scenery.

The direction of the runway goes straight to the sea. The only thing to worry about is whether its long and narrow terrain can meet the length of the airport runway. If it is not enough, the plane may fall into the sea before it even takes off.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately dragged the 3D model of the airport and placed it towards the hillside.

"Drip... I found the airport building space, and the construction conditions are being calculated..."

"Drip... Satisfy the construction conditions of the airport, please name the airport!"

"Phew... it's finally ready!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

It seems that the development of the island is really not an easy task. It has just started, and it has encountered a lot of difficulties.

"Hongwan Airport!"

Since the airport is adjacent to Hongyue Bay, it is of course more appropriate to name it according to the place.

"Drip...the airport has been named successfully, and we are working hard to build it..."

The mechanical sound of the system sounded, and a progress bar was added on the main interface, showing the countdown to the construction: 7 days.

At the same time, Jiang Cheng noticed that the entire 20-mile radius of Hongyue Bay was suddenly covered by a gushing white fog, which seemed to disappear from the 3D projection.

"Uh... well, this is also a black technology of the system!"

With a mutter 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, it mainly caters to tourists from all over the world.

However, it is also a city after all, and there will be immigrants who will settle here in the future.

In addition, Dream Paradise is the largest of the four major resorts, reaching more than 200 square kilometers. Such an urban area is large enough to accommodate millions of people.

Therefore, considering two aspects, Dream Paradise Resort cannot be positioned as an ordinary tourist destination, but must fully consider the huge permanent population in the future.

As a result, the port must expand its scale, because it not only needs to park cruise ships and passenger ships, and passengers, but also supports some functions of commercial ports, such as loading and unloading cargo, replenishing supplies, and so on.

After thinking about it this way, Jiang Cheng directly positioned the port as a commercial grade.

【Name】: Small commercial port
[Parameters]: channel X6, breakwater X3, wharf X12, port railway X4, 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]: 1320 million US dollars
[Time-consuming]: 7 days

"Huh... it's another 1320 million dollars, I can still hold it!"

The corners of Jiang Cheng's eyes twitched violently, he exhaled forcefully, and pressed the "Build" button with pain all over his face.

"Drip... Please choose a construction location!"

Dream Paradise Resort has superior natural conditions and has 23 bays of various sizes. However, the location of the construction port must not be too close to the core area of ​​tourism, and it must have a relatively deep draft.

After such screening, there are only two bays 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, close to the Liuzhi Mountains, surrounded by cliffs as high as [-] meters on three sides, with jagged rocks and ever-changing changes, and the water quality is clear. You can see colorful coral landscapes tens of meters deep underwater.

Such a good place is very suitable to be developed into a diving resort for adventure diving enthusiasts, so Jiang Cheng thought about it for a while 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, calm and calm, 12 kilometers deep inland, shaped like a slender and graceful swan's neck.

If the port is built here, it will coincide with the Hongwan Airport, one south and one north, forming two major transportation hubs that echo the north and the south. Not only is it perfectly staggered from the core area of ​​the resort, but it can also play a role in dispersing the flow of people.

That's it!
"Drip... Satisfy the construction conditions of the port, please name the port!"

"Swan Harbor!"

"Drip... The port has been named successfully, and it is under construction..."

The normal operation of airports, ports, and even entire cities cannot do without power and energy facilities, so the next thing to do is the construction of power facilities.

Jiang Cheng directly called up 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 moment.

However, one thing is certain is that it is definitely not advisable for thermal power plants to generate electricity by burning coal, oil and other fuels.

Just kidding, this is a resort, and a big chimney with gray and black smoke is erected, which is really a sight, and it doesn't scare away tourists.

Moreover, even for long-term considerations, it is advisable to choose a clean, pollution-free, or even zero-emission power plant for this power plant construction.

Emerald Island is located in the west of the Pacific Ocean, and has superior natural energy resources such as sea water, wind power, sunlight, and tides. Therefore, the development of natural power plants without emissions 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 capacity is relatively limited. It is very difficult to build a single power plant to meet the electricity consumption of millions of people.

However, if a comprehensive plan is made to build a batch of solar power plants, wind power plants, and tidal power plants, it can barely meet the initial needs of urban construction.

As for future demand, we can expand production capacity accordingly.

After careful consideration, Jiang Cheng still plans to take the road of clean energy.
