Chapter 500: Chapter 237 The Prelude to the Big Construction_2 Chapter 500: Chapter 237 The Prelude to the Big Construction_2 Yan Fei's Dream Technology has had great success recently, their products beginning to impact consumers on a global scale and changing their lives. However, in terms of influence, Yan Fei's is not considered strong. The focus on him stemmed first from being a young and successful Chinese person, second from the secret maneuvers of Dream Technology's enemies, and third from people's lack of entertainment in their lives. They found Yan Fei, who enjoyed bragging, and turned him into a joke to demonstrate their intellectual superiority.

After some time spent criticizing and mocking Yan Fei, the world's attention was drawn to other news, and gradually people forgot about Yan Fei's transformation of Misty Island. It was only when Misty Island spectacularly emerged that people remembered the news and realized the grave mistake they had made.

On August 15th, after Yan Fei had completed his preparations, at his command, two cruise ships and twelve large cargo ships from Shanghai Port officially set sail towards Misty Island. To maintain secrecy, the fleet chose to depart in the early hours of the morning, not informing any journalists or media friends.

Yan Fei chose to join the fleet this time, and Lu Pingping was on the same ship. Lu Pingping had only seen pictures of Misty Island brought back by Yan Fei on a computer and had not yet truly experienced its appearance. Thus, she wanted to see for herself what Misty Island had become and then formulate a construction and development plan for it, based on the actual situation.

The enormous fleet was carrying over 3000 construction workers, including more than 100 building experts. In addition to these construction personnel, there were also 200 Dream Technology security staff and another 200 logistical staff members to ensure the well-being of these people, totaling a force of 3500 individuals.

These personnel were accommodated on the two cruise ships, which boasted relatively advanced facilities and plenty of rooms so the 3500 people could live in comfort. As for the other twelve cargo ships, they were loaded with all kinds of essential everyday living equipment and supplies. On top of that, the most significant cargo these ships carried included various heavy machinery, transport vehicles, fuel, and construction materials.

However, most of the construction materials had already been quietly transported to Misty Island by Yan Fei. He personally managed the quantity of materials on board these cargo ships, making it unknown to outsiders how much the fleet was transporting. They could only guess based on the size of the fleet, assuming it must be a vast quantity.

The fleet proceeded cautiously, without any ostentatious actions, thereby avoiding detection. Five days later, they finally reached the western territorial waters of Misty Island, which was precisely where Yan Fei's land reclamation was taking place. From a distance, before even nearing Misty Island, the people on the ships could see a wall-like dam on the sea surface ahead.

Only when they got close to Misty Island did they realize that the dam was made entirely of yellow sand and looked imposing at a height of 10 meters. Its width was also significant, at least several dozen meters across. At first, they thought such a dam on the sea surface seemed a little isolated, but upon a closer look, they found it to be majestic and fully capable of withstanding the assault of the waves.

Guided by Yan Fei, the fleet entered through a narrow gap of just 500 meters in width at the outer edge and discovered a vast harbor enclosed by a massive dam of yellow sand. The dam took the form of regular geometric shapes, turning the vast harbor into a rectangle. The harbor stretched 5000 meters from north to south and was 1200 meters wide from east to west. The only entry had a 500-meter gap, serving as the channel for ships to enter the harbor.

This harbor was the location Yan Fei had reserved for a port in advance, but to facilitate construction work there, this section of the yellow sand dam was constructed separately without reinforcement with precast steel-reinforced concrete. Nevertheless, Yan Fei had expanded the dam's width to 50 meters for safety reasons.

Unbeknownst to the people on the ships, the depth of the sea water beneath their harbor exceeded 200 meters, making it a natural port. With some necessary equipment, it could be converted into a high-quality harbor. With this harbor in place, Yan Fei could then use it as a starting point to develop and build up the entire Misty Island territorial waters.

All personnel on this fleet had signed a confidentiality agreement with Dream Technology, which was why they knew they were about to see secrets that could not be leaked. But when they arrived in the Misty Island sea area and saw everything for themselves, they were still stunned by the circumstances they encountered.

This region of the sea was one they had never heard of before, never seen in pictures or visitation. No one could have anticipated that it would present such a surprising appearance. Despite the thick clouds of fog that shrouded the sky, the visibility around the sea level was not affected, so they could still see a great distance ahead.

There, in the sea ahead, a yellow dragon suddenly emerged, meandering and stretching, its full length unknown as it disappeared into the dense fog beyond. Behind this yellow dragon was a vast expanse of black reefs, clearly indicating an expanse of land. By its shape, the yellow dragon resembled the Great Wall of China, except it sheltered the black land behind it.

Having signed the confidentiality agreement and committed to work there for at least a year, everyone, despite their surprise and feeling that the situation defied logic, merely sighed and began to contemplate their upcoming tasks.

The entire fleet docked in the harbor, occupying only a tiny portion of the dam. The harbor wasn't a man-made port meeting industrial standards, but amazingly, it was a natural port, possessing many features that would usually require human construction and building. Thus, even though there were no facilities for docking the ships, they could still moor at the sides. Only because there was a lack of appropriate machinery and equipment, unloading people and materials proved somewhat troublesome.

But this was no problem for the fleet's skilled technicians. Given the conditions of the harbor, they quickly devised a way to unload passengers and cargo. Soon, some of the ships' cargo handling equipment had been offloaded and, using the onboard cranes, transported to the nearby coast. With these pieces of equipment now available, the unloading of materials from the cargo ships accelerated.

The so-called coast here didn't refer to a flat thoroughfare that would meet port requirements but rather to the ground covered in a vast amount of yellow sand. Once materials were brought ashore, they were temporarily piled up on the sand, awaiting construction on this sandy substrate.

Yan Fei's first phase plan was to build a port and docks; hence, for secrecy reasons, it was impossible to access the New Land inside from here. However, as the first phase of the project ended, these construction workers would also enter the New Land for comprehensive major construction and development.

But for building the port and docks, Yan Fei used yellow sand to raise a vast area here, facilitating construction work. On the other hand, the reefs below the yellow sand were highly durable, allowing machinery and equipment to operate as soon as they were offloaded from the cargo ships. With this basic condition met, more machinery and materials were quickly transported to the shore.
