The Sherlock roared down and landed on the brand new airport runway. After watching the excitement, the workers on the island lowered their heads and went back to their own work.
The preliminary construction started before the New Year. The private airport was the first to be completed. Xia Yu's castle also laid the foundation and started ground construction.
The workers did not realize that about ten meters below the foundation was the island entrance to the Hive Base. By taking the high-speed elevator, they could reach the living area on the first floor of the base within one minute.
Even the most advanced bunker-buster bombs cannot penetrate this depth, so it is easy for them to withstand nuclear bombs. Even if the doomsday comes, this will be the safest place in the world.
The plane door opened, and the built-in folding gangway extended and opened. Xia Yu walked down slowly, feeling very different.
Now that we have an airport, we no longer need to take a seaplane when we come to Kana Island, nor do we need to play the role of 007 and take someone else's transport plane. Direct flights are so cool.
When Xia Yu arrived, the island's project manager and the Bei family's on-site architect came to greet him.
"Mr. Sherlock, we have renovated the original villa on the island. You can stay there until the main castle and the holiday villa are completed."
According to the construction plan of Kanai Island, there are two places for Xia Yu to live, one is a castle residence and the other is a seaside holiday villa, but he now has a third option, which is his water palace.
"No, we're staying on the sea today."
Xia Yu looked at his watch and it was almost time.
Hawaii time is 18 hours behind that of China, while Toao time is 3 hours ahead. Kanai Island, located between the two places, is right near the International Date Line and its time is only 4 hours ahead of China, so he did not adjust his watch and still used China time.
The time agreed with the other party was 9 a.m. in China, but it was just noon on the island.
The workers left work and had lunch in an orderly manner. Xia Yu was not hungry yet, so he brought a group of people to the port.
The construction of the port is also proceeding in full swing. A temporary dock is currently being used. They didn't wait at the dock for long before they saw a small black dot appear in the direction of the sky.
I picked up the telescope and took a look, isn’t that his “super yacht”!
After two centuries of wind, rain and snow, this Invincible-class ship that escaped the fate of being dismantled has been refurbished. It is hard to imagine that the Queen was still young when it was first launched, and even personally presided over the launching ceremony of the first ship.
Times have changed. Today in 2019, it continues to be active on the ocean in a different form, but it is now privately owned and has become an extension of personal territory on the sea.
Xia Yu couldn't wait to drive it through the waves and gallop across the oceans.
"Mr. Xia, the ship that came doesn't seem right!"
After seeing the Invincible Class clearly, Feng Manxue said to Xia Yu worriedly that she didn't know that Xia Yu's yacht was converted from an aircraft carrier.
"Why not? This is the right ship. It's the perfect size. If it were any bigger, it would have to stop sideways, but then the Polaris wouldn't be able to stop."
Parking a boat is just like parking a car. If you park it sideways, it will take up several parking spaces, and other cars cannot park there.
"But isn't this an aircraft carrier?"
"Decommissioned aircraft carriers are meant to be dismantled and sold as scrap metal. I'm trying to make use of this waste."
As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, everyone fell silent. They thought their boss was already very generous, but they didn't expect him to be so generous. That was an aircraft carrier, but he talked about it as if it were a scrapped second-hand car.
“Beep~~~”
The Invincible-class ship's whistle sounded, signaling it to enter the port. It looked very small just now, but now that it was so close, I realized it was a behemoth.
The ship is 209.1 meters long, which is a big thing. The flight deck is 167.8 meters long and 13.5 meters wide. Xia Yu feels that it must be fun to drift on it, but he has to pay attention to the distance so as not to drift into the sea accidentally.
I climbed up the gangway and stepped onto the deck of the Invincible-class ship, only to see a group of foreigners walking towards me.
The company that undertook the Invincible-class renovation project was Hou Lan. As the former coachman of the sea, Hou Lan's modern shipbuilding industry is also very developed. However, transforming an old aircraft carrier of the last century into a super yacht is also a big challenge. Fortunately, they completed it.
"Mr. Sherlock, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Me too, Mr. Phillips, it's really beautiful."
Xia Yu shook hands with the other party and said.
"Then shall I show you the new Invincible Class?"
"why not!"
Following Phillips' footsteps, Xia Yu began to visit his own yacht.
While retaining the appearance of a military ship, the Invincible class underwent extensive modernization of its interior. The living quarters, once designed to accommodate thousands of people, were transformed into comfortable and luxurious master suites.
Turkish baths, Roman saunas, ancient Roman retro baths... There are several bathrooms according to different cultural backgrounds, not to mention a wide variety of functional rooms.
If you calculate carefully, the cost of the reconstruction is much more expensive than buying an aircraft carrier, at least hundreds of millions of US dollars. Even the Polaris, which is still under renovation, may not be able to compare with this level of luxury.
However, in terms of function, the Polaris is a polar icebreaking exploration yacht that can travel unimpeded at both poles, while the Invincible-class is an offensive and defensive super yacht. Xia Yu can drive directly to Somali and let the pirates know what justice from heaven is. The two yachts have their own merits and cannot be roughly compared.
“We have built a standard heated swimming pool on the 4th deck. Although we can’t have an open-air swimming pool like a regular superyacht, you can still enjoy swimming.”
There are 7 decks below the Invincible-class flight deck, and they came to the swimming pool on the 4th deck.
