After days of careful observation, Jiang Cheng now has a clear understanding of the geographic situation of Nanyao Island.

In fact, even back when he was reclaiming this island, Jiang Cheng had already done some planning in his heart.

This Nanyao Island will not be open to the public in the future; instead, it will be used as a military base.

Jade Island serves as the core site, and Jiang Cheng does not intend to place any military facilities on it, so all necessary military institutions must be relocated from Jade Island.

Therefore, islands like Nanyao Island, which are far from the main island, become a natural choice.

That said, Nanyao Island will not be the first artificial island reclaimed by Jiang Cheng. In the future, he will continue to dig deep around the sea areas surrounding Jade Island, striving to build a chain of artificial islands to encircle Jade Island to the greatest extent possible, thereby protecting it against potential military situations in the future.

Sitting in a flying car, looking down at Nanyao Island, Jiang Cheng moved his fingers and brought up a three-dimensional projection of the island.

On the whole, after being reclaimed and compacted, Nanyao Island is flat and spacious, making it highly suitable for building various facilities.

Additionally, to prevent the effects of tides and waves after the island was expanded, Jiang Cheng specifically constructed three interlocking breakwaters on the east side of the island, providing maximum protection for this newly established island.

Since there is a massive rock reef below the island itself, it is very stable, alleviating any concerns about subsidence, which lays the foundation for everything else.

The future of Nanyao Island will be a fully-formed military base.

This positioning determines that it will be an island used for stationing troops, training forces, and stockpiling military weapons and power.

As a result, the construction of the military island should differ from Jade Island and Octopus Island.

Moreover, the current size of the island still has significant potential for expansion, requiring long-term planning to reserve enough space for future development possibilities.

In this regard, over the past few months, Jiang Cheng meticulously drafted an initial planning outline.

The construction and planning of Nanyao Island need to consider factors such as its geographic location, natural conditions, facility conditions, and political conditions. Regarding layout, it should prioritize defending Jade Island and consider integration with other future artificial islands.

In sum, this military island must have the power and ability to control strategic points and guard maritime chokepoints.

Presently, this Nanyao Island is located southwest of Jade Island, a crucial chokepoint for Hua Country’s South Sea and the Philippines’ access to the Pacific Ocean.

It can be said that the role this small artificial island can play is quite significant.

One must know that most of Jiang Shipping’s Asian shipping business currently passes through the South Sea and the Philippine Sea, and the Philippine pirates who previously harassed Jiang Shipping transports also originated from this sea area.

Therefore, if Jiang Cheng can successfully establish military strength on Nanyao Island, it will inevitably exert overwhelming power over these two sea areas, possibly even giving him complete control over them in the future.

Once these two seas are under control, it would mean securing his rear, allowing Jiang Cheng to pursue broader ambitions in the Pacific Ocean.

By then, he would truly have no worries, because if malignant forces continue to cause trouble in the rear sea areas, Jiang Cheng would find it difficult to unleash his full potential and launch an offensive in the Pacific!

After revisiting these previously contemplated ideas in his mind, Jiang Cheng took the flying car straight to the command headquarters on Octopus Island.

Now that the foundational work on Nanyao Island is complete, construction can finally begin, and this is precisely the moment for Jiang Cheng to showcase his capabilities!

...

Octopus Island.

Depth of 102 meters, Future Ships Laboratory.

Compared to a few months ago, the Future Ships Laboratory has undergone several changes.

Overall, its scale has expanded several times over.

Now, it not only possesses the most advanced scientific technology instruments and related experimental equipment but also hosts the world’s top scientific talent.

All of this is thanks to Jade Island’s ”Outstanding Talent Green Card” program, which, through this allure of technical immigration, has attracted a large number of world-class researchers to join the Jade Island family.

With the high-tech equipment that the laboratory already possessed, combined with the help of these high-precision talents, Jade Island’s various scientific plans could be rapidly executed, allowing a variety of top-tier scientific products to be quickly produced.

In short, it has already become a world-class research sanctuary.

And the Future Ships Laboratory can be considered the most important among them.

To accommodate more scientific talent and a wide array of cutting-edge equipment, Jiang Cheng has undertaken a series of expansions of this laboratory.

Currently, the entire laboratory spans more than 100 hectares, surpassing the area covered by the shipyard on the sea.

Of course, the funds spent on it are unimaginably high.

However, Jiang Cheng is no longer concerned about this.

Thanks to the expansion, Jiang Cheng specifically established his own office here as well.

Now, Jiang Cheng’s work focus is entirely on military development, so he relocated his office here. As for the management of Jade Island’s operations, he really has no time to spare, so he handed it over to Mr. Li and Monica to handle.

After returning from Nanyao Island, Jiang Cheng went straight to this office.

Immediately, he wasted no time and brought up the building system of the Island Tycoon APP, finding the military facilities section.

Thereupon, a variety of military buildings and facilities were displayed before him.

Command hall, combat center, military airport, military port; garrison area, training ground, test field; military cave depot, warehouse; military communication, reconnaissance, observation station; military road, dedicated railway line, military oil and water pipelines...

Looking at the series of related facilities displayed in front of him, Jiang Cheng became slightly excited.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Since the day Jade Island opened to the outside world, Jiang Cheng had envisioned when he could possess his own military power, and after a series of events, Jade Island ultimately embarked on the path of developing military strength.

And the present Nanyao Island is the first step he will take.

This step is extremely crucial, even to some extent determining the future of Jade Island!

It must not be compromised!

With this thought, Jiang Cheng did not hesitate any longer and directly brought up a 3D model of a military airport.

As always, the development and construction of the island must start with the airport!
