Chapter 899 - Completion of the Underwater Tunnel (2/2)

Jiang Chen shrugged and did not deny this point.

After the start of the war with the Freemasonry, many people in the group opposed the complete abandonment of the European market and excessive investment in Asia, but only he insisted on making this decision.

Even now, this decision was absolutely without support. If it were not for the fact that he was the only on the board, this decision would not have passed at all.

But as a result, this decision became worth celebrating…

Xia Shiyu finished her milk and looked at the clock on the wall. “It’s almost time, should we go to the company together?”

“I have a completion ceremony to attend to in the afternoon. I’ll be free in the morning. We can go together and I’ll just ride in your car.” Jiang Chen finished the remaining items on the table and looked at the plate in front of Xia Shiyu, “is it really okay for you to eat this little?”

Other than drinking the cup of milk, she only had an egg. It was only half past seven and more than four hours away from lunch

However, Xia Shiyu didn’t seem to mind but instead looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

“Is it not a lot? But I’m already full.”

…

In mid-November, the underwater tunnel linking the Pannu nine islands was finally completed. In the future, citizens would no longer need to transfer to a ferry to travel from Coro Island to Ange Island. The journey would be completed through the highway connecting the nine main islands

The underwater pipeline made of graphene material was like a transparent crystal corridor. In this crystal corridor, the colorful corals, shells and tropical fishes could be seen by lifting ones head. Even people with deep-sea phobia did not need to worry as cold lights were installed inside and outside the pipeline, enough to dispel fears caused by the deep ocean.

As for safety, the ability to withstand pressures over millions of pascal was indicative of the strength of graphene material at the depth of up to two hundred meters. The inner surface of the graphene pipe was coated with a fireproof layer, which also eliminated the danger that a car accident may cause fire. After all, fire was one of the few weaknesses of graphene material.

The Xin’s submarine highway surpassed the record of 123 kilometers set in the Bohai Bay underwater tunnel and became the longest underwater tunnel in the world!

As an investor in the highway, Jiang Chen participated in the completion ceremony organized by the construction party.

In front of the crowded media lenses, the ribbon was cut.

After the cut, it was the opening ceremony.

Not only were the construction party and Future Group executives in charge of the project invited to attend the ceremony, the President of Xin, government officials, celebrities, and even foreign guests were also among the participants. More than 70 guests participated in the ceremony, boarding a fleet of vehicles that consisted of more than 30 luxury cars.

With the media following closely, Jiang Chen led this special fleet to complete the first trip on the submarine highway.

It was an extremely glamorous and extravagant ceremony!

The company that received the most highlight was the new energy automotive company Luer. As one of the sponsors of the ceremony, all vehicles were provided by either Luer or companies connected to Future Heavy Industries.

It was not just an opening ceremony. Rather, it was a large-scale promotion for pure electric vehicles. The auto market in Xin, in the past, had been very sluggish, and the reason nothing to do with per capita income. The main reason was transportation. If a car could only run in one city, there was really no need for a middle-class family to buy a car.

However, the need would be different after the completion of the underwater tunnel.

In the foreseeable future, Xin’s automobile market would surely welcome a period of explosive growth. The focus of Future Group’s promotion would be on new energy vehicles!

Future Group planned to build thousands of wireless charging stations distributed throughout Xin, with an area of coverage even greater than gas stations!
