Chapter 897 The Depth Near Lantau Island!

If Yang Ming was just reclaiming land, Mai Lisi and Lin Xiuzhi would not have been a big deal. Now the boss actually wanted to blow up Lantau Island and use the soil from Lantau Island to reclaim land, which shocked the two.

"Mailisi, go back tonight and get ready, call the relevant engineers, and tomorrow morning, after breakfast, we will go to Lantau Island."

Mailisi wrote it down.

He left and returned to his office.

Lin Xiuzhi was still there.

"Boss, will blowing up Lantau Island destroy the feng shui of Hong Kong?" Lin Xiuzhi asked in a low voice.

Destroy feng shui?

. . .

Rest for a night.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming had just gotten up and washed up, and came down from upstairs. Mai Lisi and Lin Xiuzhi had already arrived. In addition to Mai Lisi, there were many engineers for land reclamation, as well as Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang.

These two people suddenly received a call from Butler Lin last night.

However, no matter how powerful the two were, they probably couldn't guess what Sir Yang asked them to do.

After breakfast at the Repulse Bay Half Mountain Villa.

A group of people took a car to the Repulse Bay Pier.

At this time, there were already many large ships parked at the pier.

Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Chen Bo, Song Shaoguang, Lin Xiuzhi, the engineers who reclaimed land, and bodyguards such as Chen Zhenhua and Zhang Guohua boarded the big ship.

Then they left here by boat.

Passing near the Tangbo Island.

Before this, Yang Ming, Sarah, Diana and others had visited this small island near the Repulse Bay several times.

There are many small islands like this near the Hong Kong River.

However, these small islands are too small and do not have much development value.

Neither luxury houses nor resorts can be built, and as for the port terminals, these are not of much value.

Unless through land reclamation, with these small islands as the center, and then expanding the area of ​​the islands, there is value for development.

Leave here.

Drive all the way to the southwest.

Along the way, see the endless sea.

When they were not far from Lamma Island, Yang Ming and others had already noticed this Lamma Island.

At the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa, Yang Ming had also seen Lamma Island, and Lamma Island was one of the main power plants of the Xiangjiang Electric Company, and now it has expanded.

Now, in addition to a certain number of Xiangjiang residents living on Lamma Island, there are mainly fishermen living on it, and staff of the Lamma Island Power Plant of the Xiangjiang Electric Company.

Yang Ming did not go to Lamma Island.

Instead, he continued to go south.

Then he went north.

"Boss, that area is the West Lamma Channel, and the East Lamma Channel is located between Lamma Island and Hong Kong Island."

This area is the West Lamma Channel, and the sea water here looks very blue.

The engineer on the side looked at Yang Ming and Mai Lisi and said, "Boss, General Manager Mai Lisi, the West Lamma Channel is located between Lamma Island and Cheung Chau and Kau Yi Chau. It runs north-south, is about 4 nautical miles long, about 3.2 nautical miles to 4 nautical miles wide, and has a water depth of 7 meters to 15 meters. The southern part is wide and deep, and the northern part is narrow and shallow. The channel is wide and does not hinder navigation, which is convenient for ships to sail. However, this area is not deep as a whole."

What does this mean?

It means that the deepest here is only 15 meters, and the shallowest place is about 7 meters.

Historically, during the tenure of Mr. Dong, Yang Ming's elder brother, he first proposed land reclamation, considering that Lantau Island and even the vicinity of Hong Kong Island are not really too deep.

In this case, land reclamation is not only easy, but also easy to solve the contradiction between land and population in Hong Kong.

On the contrary.

Like the South China Sea, the depth is deeper, and sand blowing and land reclamation can also be carried out.

Nowadays, on a large ship, it may not be felt.

The depths of these places have been measured long ago, including the depth of each place has been recorded.

Although the depth will change over time.

This area is indeed still a shallow sea.

There is also Victoria Harbor, which looks very deep on the surface, but in fact, the average depth is about 12 meters.

Ordinary 10,000-ton ships are usually sea-going ships. Generally, 10,000-ton ships have a draft of about 9 meters. Cargo ships carry a lot of cargo, and 20,000-ton ocean-going ships have a full-load draft of about 10 meters.

50,000-ton ships are 11 meters, and 100,000 tons are about 17 meters.

It is precisely because of that that the depth of Victoria Harbor is enough to meet the cargo capacity of a large ship of 50,000 tons.

Now the West Lamma Channel seems to be a little far from Victoria Harbor, but in fact, the deepest place is only a few meters deep.

Yang Ming was blowing the wind there.

When the engineer next to him told Yang Ming in detail, Yang Ming was not very clear about the depth here before. Now that he knew it was only more than ten meters deep, he thought it would be enough to fill up this area and leave a navigable channel.

Mai Lisi and Lin Xiuzhi were also very surprised. They thought that these places would be at least tens of meters or even hundreds of meters deep, but they didn't expect that they were only more than ten meters deep.

Many people are afraid of the deep sea. Now looking at the blue water floating here, they also feel inexplicably scared.

Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang didn't know why Sir Yang asked them to follow them at first. At this time, the two had guessed something, but they were not sure.

This is a large area, even connected to the nearby Cheung Chau. How much land will be filled, how many people will be fed, and how much wealth will be brought? Yang Ming couldn't believe it.

He knew that he had to make changes.

If it is like in history, just like the scholar's rebellion, it failed in three years, wasting too much time and opportunities, which also led to the gradual decline of Hong Kong in history.

Leaving the West Lamma Channel, I saw an island.

"Boss, that's Cheung Chau."

Cheung Chau Island?

The reason why Yang Ming knew this island was that he had been here in his previous life and often saw it in Hong Kong movies.

Moreover, compared with Lantau Island, this Cheung Chau Island is a well-developed island. Historically, more than 30,000 people have appeared here. If you add the usual tourists, there may be more.

Now Yang Ming did not go to Cheung Chau Island. He continued to move forward and saw an island called Shek Kwu Chau nearby. He continued to move forward and came to a place called Wangdong Bay.

This place already belongs to Lantau Island.

"Boss, this is Wangdong Bay on Lantau Island, but I don't know if there are people here now?"

At this time, there are probably only a few thousand people living in the entire Lantau Island.

Lantau Island is so large, these natives and fishermen are very scattered, and you may occasionally see someone somewhere.

"Can we stop the boat ahead?"

It's not possible to stop the boat anywhere. This big ship is only a few hundred tons and has a shallow draft, so at least there must be a suitable place.

Someone went to find the captain and learned that it could be docked on the shore.

When the big ship stopped steadily at a place and put down the small boat, Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Lin Xiuzhi, Chen Bo, Song Shaoguang and others went to the shore of Wangdong Bay from the small boat.

Yang Ming found that the environment here was still very bad. Apart from trees and seawater hitting the shore, there was no other figure.
