This petrel has only been at sea for less than a week.

It does seem to have achieved considerable results, but at what cost?

Maybe, soon, it will die

And the consequences of premature death are definitely something no one can afford.

On the other side, Treasure Island base.

The Sky Whale has been in nearby waters for 5 days, and its operations have continued for 4 days. Under its amazing power, this originally boundless sea has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The crescent-shaped island has taken shape, and the accumulated sediment has not yet been leveled off. However, with the continuous widening of the channel, many construction machinery ships have finally gotten rid of the dilemma of narrow construction areas and began to pour into the central part of the crescent one after another.

's port.

This also further improved the construction efficiency. In just four days, the island construction team had completed the work that had not been completed in the previous months.

Now, the sea area of ​​Treasure Island has reached an astonishing 180,000 square meters, and the available flat ground area has reached more than 10,000 square meters.

If necessary, a temporary take-off runway can even be built on this island for some small aircraft to take off.

Feng Ping looked at the fleet working in full swing with emotion, and said to his son Feng Ru beside him:

"This thing is so good. I couldn't even imagine building such a big island in such a short time."

"It's too fast. If we continue at this speed, won't one day our entire sea surface be filled with land?"

Feng Ru laughed and replied:

"Dad, you think too much."

"Don't think it's easy to fill in the Sky Whale now, but there are conditions."

"Most of the areas near Treasure Island are shoals, which are easy to dig, so we can construct quickly."

"But if you go deeper, the efficiency will be much lower."

"We can only fill up to 60,000 square meters of sea in one day, which is close to the design limit of this ship."

“If we really want to build islands on a large scale, we need to get a few more powerful sand dredgers.”

After hearing Feng Ru's words, Feng Ping stared and shouted:

"60,000 square meters is not enough? Before the Sky Whale, how many square meters could we fill in a day? Don't you know how many square meters we could fill in a day?"

"Besides, even if you don't compare with ourselves, look at Vietnam. They also have ships. How many can they fill in one day?"

"6,000 square meters is as high as the sky!"

"Haven't you heard? They worked hard there for two weeks before filling in more than 10,000 square meters of ground. It was not as long as the Sky Whale's two hours of work."

"You are too ambitious and don't know that you have to eat your food one bite at a time."

"If you think like this again, I might choke you!"

Hearing his father's somewhat unhappy tone, Feng Ru quickly put away his teasing expression and replied:

"Oh, I hope we can go faster and faster. By the way, it is said that we are leaving for the next island today?"

Feng Ping snorted and replied:

"We will set off in the evening and arrive near Fulu Reef tomorrow morning."

"Go that far?"

Feng Ru asked in surprise.

"That's right. The monkeys are making moves there, and we have to get ahead of them!"

A few hours later, the Sky Whale put away its positioning piles, and the gas turbines sprayed out blazing flames. With the support of the ship's integrated power system, this 10,000-ton ship completed a U-turn at sea with amazing flexibility, and then continued

Heading towards Fulu Reef at an extremely fast speed.

According to common sense, it should have been the slowest ship in the fleet, but in fact, it was ahead of all other ships.

We even had to slow down from time to time and wait for barges that were too heavy to move.

It took a full 9 hours for the fleet to reach the waters near Fulu Reef.

The scene they saw in front of them surprised everyone who had already been notified of the situation.

——

No, of course I'm not surprised that the Vietnamese have already started building islands.

But I was surprised that they built it too slowly, right?

It’s been two days since I arrived, and I’ve only filled out so little?

At a rough glance, it is estimated to be several thousand square meters, not as big as a standard football field.

This shouldn't be right?

After all, their ship Haiyan is also the crystallization of VOSTA LMG’s latest technology. No matter how you stretch your hips, can you stretch your hips to this level?

Feng Ping stood on the deck and looked at the sand dredger in the opposite fleet with confusion, trying to find some clues about it.

But unfortunately, he saw nothing.

And just when he was puzzled, the call of the fleet commander suddenly came from the intercom on his chest.

"Attention all ships, attention to all ships."

"Continue to approach the waters of Fulu Reef and anchor at a suitable location on the east side of Fulu Reef."

"Received, received."

Feng Ru on the side also heard the instruction. He looked at Feng Ping and asked with some confusion:

"Why are we going over there? Confronting those monkeys across an island?"

"Now that they have taken the lead, shouldn't we call a warship to drive them away?"

Feng Ping shook his head and replied:

"I don't know exactly what to do."

"However, it is definitely impossible for warships to intervene directly. The situation has just cooled down, and it is impossible to take the initiative to provoke disputes."

"I guess we have to solve it ourselves."

Speaking of this, Feng Ping suddenly laughed.

"It's actually not a big deal!"

"Don't mention that we were on Yongxia Island back then. Just this year, before the escort ships arrived, didn't we also do a good job?"

"You may not be able to beat the Yankees, but you can still bully the Vietnamese monkeys!"

As he spoke, he turned the rudder, and the Chongren No. 1 barge slowly turned at an angle and headed towards the sea southeast of Fulu Reef.

The Vietnamese fleet on the opposite side had already discovered the movement here, and all construction actions came to a halt.

Feng Ru could vaguely see that on their so-called "Haiyan" dredger, there were several armed sailors looking towards them.

This made him a little nervous.

If you get too close, you won't really shoot, right?

Just when he was hesitating and worried, all the ships had already entered the target berthing position according to the instructions.

The Sky Whale was guarded among several barges, and directly in front of it was the Petrel, separated by a small piece of land.

The two "flagships" are only a hundred meters apart.

The Sky Whale slowly turned around, its pump port pointed at the Haiyan on the opposite side.

Then, the commander-in-chief's voice came over the intercom again.

"All ships, remain alert."

"Sky Whale, aim the pump port at the opposite ship, and turn on the blade."

"Bury them!"

The gas turbine ignited suddenly and the blade set was submerged in the water.

Then, the turbulent seawater sprayed out from the pump port of the Sky Whale, laden with sand and gravel, and fell straight towards the Haiyan opposite!
Chapter completed!
