Here, a modernized wharf had been completed through the joint efforts of everyone. It possessed the capabilities for ships to berth, passengers to embark and disembark, and cargo to be loaded and unloaded. However, strictly speaking, this was only the first phase of the wharf's construction, as the berthing capacity for ships was still quite limited. Nevertheless, as construction on Misty Island sped up, this dock would be expanded in the following time to meet the berthing requirements of more vessels. In the end, it would become a massive comprehensive dock equipped with an exceptional capacity for accommodating ships and unloading cargo.

On another front, the small-scale thermal power plant was finally constructed. Completed at the same time were various power conversion devices and pipelines for electric power transmission. All these devices had been fully tested and were ready to connect the power plant to the grid at any moment. Once this small thermal power plant started operating, the electricity it generated would be able to meet the early construction and living needs of the workers on Misty Island. With this, the four diesel generators could retire having served their purpose. No longer consuming vast quantities of diesel for power generation every day would also save Yan Fei a considerable amount of money.

Dream Transportation's fleet of ships, on their trips between China and Misty Island, had brought a shipment of coal weighing a total of 50,000 tons. This coal had been transferred to the thermal power plant's warehouse and would be used as fuel for the plant. However, the thermal power plant's demand for coal was so substantial that this consignment alone would not last very long. Therefore, in the evening, Yan Fei sent the Drone back to China, discreetly making use of the special ability of Universal Space to teleport the bulk of the purchased coal to the warehouse of the power plant on Misty Island.

To keep it secret, the thermal power plant's coal warehouse was under Yan Fei's sole management, therefore nobody knew exactly how much coal was in the warehouse. Ships departing from China would deliver 50,000 tons of coal to Misty Island on each trip, and this coal would be transferred to the power plant's warehouse. With an ample supply of coal as fuel for the thermal power plant, it could continuously produce enough electricity to meet the early construction needs of Misty Island.

On November 8th, a very auspicious day, at Yan Fei's command, the small thermal power station officially began generating electricity. The power plant's electricity was distributed through various pipelines, supporting the operation of various machinery on the island. However, as the island's electric power was secured, large quantities of thick smoke from the power plant's chimneys began to fill the skies above Misty Island, damaging the air quality…

The formal completion of the dock on Misty Island, coupled with the thermal power plant joining the grid, marked a significant event. It signified that the construction of Misty Island had stepped onto a whole new level, gaining autonomous construction and development capabilities.

During these two-plus months, China's Western Province had witnessed four massive sandstorms. Taking advantage of the opportune circumstances provided by the sandstorms, Yan Fei once again deployed the Drone Avatar to rush to the Western Province in search of large sand dunes to transport. He spent over twenty days tirelessly teleporting massive amounts of Yellow Sand to Misty Island.

This Yellow Sand was used by Yan Fei to widen and raise the height of the Yellow Sand Dam on Misty Island. After the sand relocation was complete, the height of the Yellow Sand Dam had reached 12 meters, with a terrifying width of 60 meters.

Once the height of the Yellow Sand Dam was increased to 12 meters, the massive steel-reinforced concrete prefabricated components were completely buried under the sand. Unless someone intentionally sought them out, they would not discover the secret within. The additional width of 30 meters on the Yellow Sand Dam was piled up by Yan Fei behind the mammoth concrete components towards the direction of New Land. Consequently, the Wave-Resistant Sea Wall became the central pillar, flanked by 30 meters of Yellow Sand on each side.

After piling 30 meters of Yellow Sand on both sides, the Wave-Resistant Sea Wall's stress distribution became much more even, making it difficult for any positional shifting to occur. In other words, after the dam was raised and widened, the entire Yellow Sand Dam was as stable as Mount Tai and no longer feared being toppled by the impact of waves. As long as there were no issues with the Wave-Resistant Sea Wall, Yan Fei could ensure the safety of the buildings on New Land.

Moreover, Yan Fei transported a large volume of Yellow Sand onto the New Land inside the Yellow Sand Dam. Apart from a few low-lying lakes, yellow sand had been spread over the other areas, covering the reefs. However, this layer of yellow sand was very thin, averaging less than 5 centimeters, just barely covering the surface rocks. Nevertheless, with the presence of this sand, New Land underwent a dramatic transformation, everywhere covered in yellow sand, a stark contrast to the previous landscape of all-black reefs.

After visiting Misty Island last time and feeling that it was too desolate and lacking in vitality, Lu Pingping returned to China and began acquiring a variety of plant seeds, particularly focusing on those grass species resistant to sandstorms. She collected a total of 5,000 tons of various plant seeds in the shortest time possible. Then, at Shanghai's wharf, these seeds were transported to Misty Island via Dream Transportation's ships.
