CHAPTER 68: CHAPTER 68: DEVELOPING OCTOPUS ISLAND!

For three consecutive days, Jiang Cheng once again turned into an industrious little bee, busily inspecting up and down Jade Island.

This time, the key areas he surveyed mainly included some coastal waters of Jade Island, as well as certain riverbank waters.

In short, he meticulously inspected every place suitable for constructing a shipyard, leaving nothing overlooked.

Logically speaking, Jade Island is vast and isolated in the deep ocean, so there should be many places suitable for building a shipyard.

However, after careful investigation, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly.

Indeed, there are many locations that meet the criteria for constructing a shipyard, and whether considering the depth of the water or transportation aspects, they all perfectly meet his requirements.

But, after careful consideration, Jiang Cheng excluded them one by one.

There’s no choice; these places do meet the criteria for building a plant, but they are also suitable for developing into tourist resort areas. Most of these places have beautiful scenery, showcasing Jade Island’s unique primitive coastal views. To build a shipyard there would be a waste.

Moreover, from the very beginning of developing Jade Island, Jiang Cheng had established a development principle: not to harm the island’s natural environment.

It was based on this ironclad rule that Jiang Cheng had to abandon all previous options.

Of course, when selecting the shipyard location, Jiang Cheng’s gaze wasn’t solely focused on Jade Island.

Generally, the principles for choosing a shipyard location consist of three main points.

First, the production site of the shipyard, mainly for setting up various large suspensions, manufacturing, and transportation facilities, must be open, level, and have a vast construction area.

Second, the water area must have deep draft to ensure the launching and sailing of ships.

Third, the transportation of this area should be convenient.

Considering these three points, an idea suddenly flashed in Jiang Cheng’s mind, presenting an ideal choice.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly opened the Island Tycoon APP, and brought up the three-dimensional holographic projection of Jade Island and its nearby waters.

However, Jiang Cheng’s gaze did not focus on Jade Island, but rather shifted to the "outer islands" near Jade Island.

Since his initial survey of Jade Island, Jiang Cheng had carefully mapped these chain-like scattered outer islands in the southwestern direction of Jade Island.

There are a total of 12 of these outer islands.

The largest, Ivory Island, is 15 square kilometers in size, while the smallest, Octopus Island, is only 0.3 square kilometers.

Like the main island, Jade Island, these outer islands are also stunningly beautiful and rare.

After sweeping his gaze over them, Jiang Cheng focused on the farthest small island.

Octopus Island!

From the first sight of this island, Jiang Cheng had already decided on this name for it.

Because, when seen from above, this small island resembles an octopus extending its eight tentacles!

In fact, Octopus Island is also suitable for developing into a small vacation area; it has deep-draft bays and large shallow water areas, with calm waters, making it ideal for building beach villas or developing a diving paradise.

However, after an intense internal struggle, Jiang Cheng ultimately decided to use it as the shipyard construction site.

Because it’s absolutely perfect for a shipyard.

First, the entire island is open and flat, visible at a glance, making it possible to transform the whole island into a "shipbuilding island."

Second, the island has eight land extensions resembling "tentacles" reaching into the sea, creating eight natural docks.

In the future, Jiang Cheng can transform these eight tentacles into eight major shipbuilding docks for simultaneously constructing eight large ships.

Finally, the surrounding area is a vast sea with no obstructions, far from Jade Island. It doesn’t interfere with the daily life on the island, offering ample transportation space.

In the future, if ships are launched here, they can sail directly into the ocean conveniently.

The moment Jiang Cheng saw this island, many ideas flooded his mind, thrilling him.

Octopus Island is the farthest from Jade Island and away from people’s sights, so whatever water or underwater black technology products are developed here in the future won’t fear being stolen or surveilled.

The secrecy of black technology products is equally important.

Jiang Cheng can already foresee that, when his black technology products appear in the world, they will inevitably attract rival forces or competitors’ covetousness. Then, his territory might be flooded with a large number of corporate spies, engaged in espionage or stealing trade secrets.

For this, he must maintain adequate vigilance.

Jiang Cheng even suspects that many spies are already active on Jade Island.

Therefore, from this perspective, placing the future vital shipbuilding industry on Octopus Island, away from Jade Island, is an extremely appropriate decision.

In the future, Jiang Cheng will militarize or even classify the management of Octopus Island, isolating it entirely from other islands, allowing only a select few to approach Jade Island, thereby minimizing the potential for leaks.

These thoughts flashed in Jiang Cheng’s mind, and he quickly noted them down, planning to form a specialized management protocol later.

Shaking his head, Jiang Cheng refocused his attention on Octopus Island.

The most important task at hand is to personally survey this island, and then, with utmost speed, construct the shipyard.

That is the priority!

Thinking this, Jiang Cheng did not delay further and headed outside the villa, boarded Hai, and flew towards the southwestern direction of Octopus Island.

...

The sky was clear, with ten thousand miles of cloudlessness.

In the high air, Jiang Cheng steadily piloted Hai, appearing above a chain group of islands.

Looking down from here, he could see islands of various shapes embedded in the azure ocean, extremely majestic.

However, the most distinctive among them is the Octopus Island, located at the furthest point.

It stretches out its long eight tentacles, comfortably lying on the ocean.

Seeing Octopus Island for an instant, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Cheng’s lips.

Although it now seems like an inconspicuous island, Jiang Cheng believes it won’t take long before it turns into a shipbuilding paradise.

One after another, world-shaking technological achievements and powerful giant ships will emerge here, sailing the starry sea!
