Chapter 497: Chapter 236 Manufacturing Process_2 Chapter 497: Chapter 236 Manufacturing Process_2 After installing the first concrete component, Yan Fei began the installation of the second piece, which was largely similar to the first in basic steps. However, at the juncture where two precast reinforced concrete components met, he adopted a mortise-and-tenon joint method, filling the area with cement to seal any gaps between them. This effectively not only connected the two precast reinforced concrete components but also prevented seawater from seeping into New Land through these gaps.

Yan Fei used the highest-grade cement, and the various components within the precast reinforced concrete were intricately matched, resulting in excellent thermal expansion and contraction properties. Even if he connected all the precast reinforced concrete components with cement without any gaps, he didn't need to worry about them cracking due to temperature changes.

In the following time, Yan Fei constantly repeated this installation process. Soon, with the amazing application of Universal Space, all 296 of these precast reinforced concrete components were fixed in place by Yan Fei, with a total length reaching 8,880 meters. And all it took Yan Fei was one day to complete this work.

Over the next two days, Yan Fei stealthily controlled drones to transport a large amount of sand from the dunes in China's Western Province to Misty Island during a small sandstorm, which provided cover for his activities. He piled up this sand beside the Yellow Sand Dam, which had the wave-resistant sea wall installed, filling up the 20-meter space between the dam and the concrete components to a height of 10 meters, burying all the precast reinforced concrete components in the sand.

Doing this not only concealed the existence of the enormous precast reinforced concrete components but also evenly distributed the load by piling sand over the two supports underneath them, thus maintaining their stability and preventing any movement. Consequently, the width of these Yellow Sand Dams reached 30 meters, and with the precast reinforced concrete components hidden inside, they were as stable as Mount Tai and no longer easily destroyed by the huge waves.

After completing all this on Misty Island, the large quantity of subsequent materials Yan Fei had ordered was delivered to the domestic Secret Warehouse and received by the security personnel. Yan Fei then quietly returned to the Secret Warehouse, dismissing the security personnel who had taken over for him and once again took charge of managing the Secret Warehouse.

In the time that followed, Yan Fei began to repeat his earlier working steps. He continuously used limestone, clay, and gypsum to produce cement; manufactured precast reinforced concrete components with cement, sand, steel reinforcement, crushed stone, and water; and transported these components to Misty Island. Once installed on Misty Island, he would transfer large amounts of sand from Western Province to fill the gaps and bury the precast reinforced concrete components under the sand.

After the first experience, Yan Fei summarized the lessons learned and significantly improved his efficiency. Roughly every five days, he could transport a set of 300 precast reinforced concrete components to Misty Island and complete their installation. After each installation, he could extend the length of the wave-resistant sea wall by 9000 meters.

A month later, Yan Fei had transported a total of 1,800 precast reinforced concrete components to Misty Island. These 1,800 components had all been fixed in place by Yan Fei, and their total combined length had reached 54 kilometers. As before, this 54-kilometer wave-resistant sea wall was entirely buried under the sand, and the width of the Yellow Sand Dams had all become 30 meters.

After an additional 10 days in the second month, once Yan Fei had transported and securely installed the final batch of 300 concrete components, Misty Island's wave-resistant sea wall finally became a closed circular high wall. If all the outside sand were cleared away, it would reveal a wall 10 meters high with a top thickness of 2 meters. By comparison, this wall could even be likened to the Great Wall of China, and in terms of grandeur–aside from the influence of rugged mountains and ranges–it was even more spectacular than the Great Wall itself.

Behind this enclosed high wall, sand was also piled up, but behind this sand lay the New Land that Yan Fei had painstakingly created by enclosing the sea. With a 10-meter-high, 30-meter-wide sand wall in place, New Land of Misty Island was truly fortified, and Yan Fei no longer needed to worry about the possibility of seawater backflow. Only then could he dare to confidently carry out major construction and development on the island.

During this time, Misty Island's territorial waters endured several attacks from strong winds and heavy storms, but with the stabilizing effect of the wave-resistant sea wall, the Yellow Sand Dam remained immovable like Mount Tai, perfectly safeguarding the safety of New Land. Not only that, but with the presence of the wave-resistant sea wall, the rate of sand loss on the Yellow Sand Dam greatly decreased, meaning the loss of fine sand hardly affected the integrity of the dam at all.
