[A cruiser!
That's a cruiser!]
[This is the last episode. Cherish it.]
【66666。】
[It's our warship. Look at the flag.]
[Why am I suddenly gloating over someone else's misfortune?]
[They're coming. They're coming.]
[UP, they're coming.]
[They're coming for us, UP. (laughing emoji)]
[It's my city management, right?
The illegal construction must be demolished.]
[Where's the security?
Is there no security in the livestream rooms?
Let's play a cool song.]
[Aren't you going to celebrate your first meeting?]
[Fight!
Fight!]
[I've reported them.
Those who wish for the world to be in chaos are either stupid or bad.]
[Can you find out how much of a shadow the host is feeling right now?]
[The host doesn't even have a shadow in his heart. He even wants to laugh.]
While standing on the violently shaking deck, Chen Yu silently gazed at the approaching cruiser with his hands on the guardrail, his brain spinning rapidly.
After a while, he raised the crystal ball and said to the blurry figure inside, "Construction is paused."
"Yes, Captain."
As soon as the electronically synthesized voice fell, the island-building ship immediately stopped all work and quietly stood amidst the raging waves.
"As everyone can see, due to some special circumstances, the island's construction is temporarily paused."
Adjusting the camera's focus to the three warships in the distance, Chen Yu said, "I'll continue construction once I'm certain that the guests won't interfere with my island-building."
Naturally, Chen Yu's words weren't meant for the livestream rooms' nearly 500,000 viewers.
One minute.
Three minutes.
Five minutes...
Just as Chen Yu was about to order the AI to activate the tension sailing mode and evacuate, the three ships in the distance suddenly turned around and lined up in a straight line.
Afterward, the three flags slowly rose into the air and fluttered in the wind. Under the scorching noon sun, the flags reflected a fiery glow.
"..."
Seeing this, Chen Yu revealed a knowing smile under his mask. He then waved his hand and said, "Dimwit, continue construction."
"Yes, Captain."
Boom … Boom …
The ship's hull shook once more, and thousands of tons of gravel spewed out of the barrel and pushed against the cofferdam.
Taking a glance at the warship, Chen Yu adjusted the camera's angle and pointed it at himself. "There are many small stages to the construction of the revetment. The gravel reinforcement we are currently carrying out is only the first stage.
Next, more small gravel will be added to form a slope. The top of the gravel slope will be pushed with two pieces of stone, and the outside of the two pieces of stone will be filled with 10-100kg large stones. "
"After a few small stages are completed, a 300-500kg boulder will be placed on the island to form a shore to prevent the waves from eroding the island."
"This is the entire process of the artificial island. Every step is complicated and rigorous.
If it wasn't for this engineering ship from a hundred years in the future, it's hard to imagine how much manpower, material resources, and time it would take to build a man-made island with current technology. "
"Let's thank technology for allowing humans to defeat nature once again."
[Say no. Let's be civilized.]
[Does anyone know how long it usually takes to build an island?]
[The construction of a small artificial island will take at least six to seven months. If it's a foreign country, hehe.]
[I heard that Yue Country used excavators to build an island, but it was washed away by the sea before it could be completed. What a joke!]
[It's too slow. We have to take advantage of the fact that the waves aren't paying attention.]
[I'm going to build an island at night.]
[Eyes: I know!
Hands: I can build an island now!
Brain: Idiot.]
[Isn't building an island just a bucket of magma and water enough?]
[Host, you're going to make a fortune. With this ship, you can become the richest man in the world.]
[You only have one ship to start with. You have to dig up all the money.]
[How much does it cost to build such an island?
Can it compare to Beijing's housing prices?]
[I want this island. Name a price, UP.]
[Do you see the three warships next to it?]
Time passed quickly amidst the island-building ship's violent roar.
Layer after layer of sand and stones were piled up, perfecting the island's shore.
Meanwhile, the three warships in the distance remained stationary on the sea's surface.
Whether it was Chen Yu or the government …
Both sides believed that this was the first "direct" contact between the two sides, so they were both cautious and sensitive to each other.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud bang, the crane lowered the last rectangular stone, and the ship's hull finally stopped trembling.
"Captain, the island's construction is complete. Time taken: 4 hours and 22 minutes," the AI reported from the crystal ball.
"Is it done?"
Turning around, Chen Yu handed the crystal ball to Little Peach. He then controlled the floating camera to fly high into the sky and get a bird 's-eye view of the entire sea.
When the floating camera recorded the island's complete shape and transferred it to the three livestream rooms, the originally sparse bullet comments flooded the livestream once more!
[This shape...]
[It's too unique.]
[Ask the heavens!
Who dares to compete with me!]
[Show!
Too show!
Spiral show!
Dihua show!]
[(* ・ ω ・) ノノノ]
[It's done just like that?
Aren't you going to take responsibility for the renovation?]
[Why don't you build a basketball court for it?]
[Nature's uncanny workmanship...]
[Earth's cock.]
[...]
Swiping his finger across his watch's screen, Chen Yu manipulated the floating camera to return to the air. He then pointed at the island and said in a slightly high-pitched tone, "As the first large-scale artificial island in human history, not only should it look majestic, but it should also have an imposing name. Hence, I racked my brains to come up with a name for it.
"Let's call it... Where the Sword Points, Invincible Island!
"Awesome. If everyone thinks this name is good, deduct 1. If not, deduct 2."
【222。】
【222222！】
[22...]
【2222！】
【2。】
[This name...]
[What a freaking genius.]
【2222。】
[Loser Island.]
[Speechless.]
[Official:???]
Looking at the enthusiastic feedback coming from the livestream rooms' bullet comments, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. "It seems everyone likes this name.
In that case, it's decided. From now on, this island will be called 'Where the Sword Points, Invincible Island'!
Sword Island for short!
It represents our spirit of pioneering and daring to draw our swords!
Hmm... The entire island is indeed shaped like a sword!
Perfect.
"In that case, the product review segment has come to an end.
Today's livestream will also come to an end. "
Facing the camera, Chen Yu crossed his fingers and began concluding, "Hundreds of millions of years ago, human ancestors came to land from the sea.
Not for exploration, but for survival.
"Hundreds of millions of years later, we returned to the sea!
Not for survival, but for exploration.
"To Earth and the vast universe, life is insignificant, and living creatures are insignificant. However, humans are not insignificant!
The spirit of pioneering and pursuit engraved in our genes supports us to move forward step by step.
In ancient times, there were the Silk Road and the Great Geographical Discovery. Today, there are manned spaceflight and extraterrestrial space stations.
Our footsteps may be young, but we will not stop.
"Even if we have many mistakes, many problems, many contradictions, many conflicts, and many malice... in the face of the spirit of enterprise, all of these shortcomings are insignificant.
"Humans are far greater than insignificant.
Even a single spark can start a prairie fire!
"Civilization will never die."
After saying so, Chen Yu disembarked the ship along the stairs and stepped onto the island's solid ground. He then pulled out a small red flag from his haori and forcefully stabbed it into the ground.
"Today's livestream ends here!
