Where is the "Dredger" artifact?

Dredger is a special operation ship which uses dredging device to excavate, lift and transport mud, sand, stone and other sediments on the surface of underwater sediments. Mainly used for digging, widening and cleaning existing waterways and ports; Digging new waterways, ports and canals; Dredge the foundation trenches of hydraulic structures such as docks, docks and shiplocks, and throw the dredged sediment into the deep sea or fill artificial islands.

Dredger, also known as dredger, is a complete "island-building artifact" to remove the sediment in the river. China has successfully developed the largest dredger "Tian Kun" in Asia, and its working efficiency is extremely high. 6000 cubic meters of sea sand, rocks, etc. can be dug up every hour, and it can be transported to places outside 15 kilometers.

It can dig three holes the size of a standard swimming pool every hour. More importantly, Tian Kun has realized automatic dredging, monitoring and unmanned control. Its appearance indicates that China's dredger technology has reached the leading rank in the world.

Although China is one of the few countries that have mastered the technology of dredgers, the benefits brought by dredgers are very considerable. Theoretically, two dredgers, Tian Whale and Tian Kun, can build an island of more than 50 square kilometers in two years.

Large dredgers can fill the sea to build islands and dredge waterways, which is of great military significance. If we don't control it, imagine that a country occupying our island reef imports large dredgers from China through a third country and then uses them to build islands from the sea. What will happen?

Let's see if we can turn the reef into an island in a short time, then others will have the same effect if they buy our large dredger, which will cause us much harm.

For another example, a country far away from us, but close to the key sea areas we have to pass through, bought our large dredger, and then greatly improved its military port and islands and reefs in a short time, which is another potential threat.

At the tactical level, we are not the only ones who have dredgers in the world, but many western countries in the world also have this ability and strength. And our ban on exports means that the large equipment such as dredgers will inevitably raise the price, so that those countries that are eager to move can choose to give up because they can't afford the high import price. This is also a tactic, and of course it is also for strategy.

This is the core technology of China. Once stolen by foreign countries, China's maritime defense advantage may be weakened. All coastal countries in the world can build islands at will. Especially if neighboring countries master this technology, it will pose a great threat to China's national defense, so they can't do things that endanger national security for petty profits.
