China is a vast country. Why build an artificial island, Yongshu Island?

The reason is very simple, that is, simply serving maritime trade and safeguarding sovereignty. Officials also announced that Yongshu Island will be China's largest material distribution center in Nansha. Because it is too far away, it needs a long-distance large transport plane. ?

First of all, the Chinese nation loves peace, and Yongshu Island is just a logistics base when it is not needed. Below Yongshu Island is a reef called Yongshu Reef, with an area of 108 square kilometers. Island reefs are generally below sea level and cannot be used manually. So China blew sand and filled the sea in the southwest corner of Yongshu Reef, filling an artificial island with an area of 2.6 square kilometers, which is Yongshu Island. Moreover, Yongshu Reef has a shallow water level and is suitable for all reclamation, so Yongshu Island will become the most potential artificial island in the South China Sea in the future. This is an overview of the island.

This time, seven reefs were upgraded to islands. These seven islands, Meiji Island, Chigua Island, Yongshu Island, Huayang Island, Nanxun Island, Dongmen Island and Zhubi Island, guard each other in Nansha Islands, guarding the sacred and inviolable territory of China. As we all know, the peace-loving Chinese nation will only use it for commercial purposes in an emergency. ?

First, the observatory logistics base protects passing ships. In the early years, under the organization of the United Nations, China established an observatory at Yongshu Reef in Nansha Islands. The observation station observes hydrometeorological observation data, which provides a lot of reliable navigation hydrometeorological support for Chinese and foreign ships passing through the South China Sea and ensures the safety of maritime transportation. ?

After the establishment of Yongshu Island, China can carry out scientific research activities in the surrounding areas, which can enrich China's grasp of the distribution of resources around Nansha Islands and lay a new layout for the future development speed of Nansha Islands. A fishing ground rich in marine resources, a large number of minerals, and an oil field rich in reserves. As long as we find out the reserves, we can greatly enrich China's resource reserves.

In the second half of 20 19, good news came from Yongshu Island. Abundant fresh water resources have been discovered under the artificial island Yongshu Island, which further strengthens the role of Yongshu Island. While playing the role of logistics center, it can also replenish a lot of fresh water for passing ships.

Islands can provide shelter for ships from typhoons and tsunamis. The marine climate is changeable, especially in summer, typhoons and tsunamis emerge one after another. With an island as a support, Yongshu Island will play an indelible role in the face of sudden bad weather. Radiating around Yongshu Island can save the life safety of the crew in an emergency. ?

Second, Dinghai Shenzhen? Defend national interests and safeguard sovereignty. The first is the national defense watchtower, which is rooted in Nansha Islands. There are a large number of long-range early warning radars stationed there, which can protect China's sovereignty in the first place. Secondly, there is a saying on the Internet that Haodao is an unsinkable ship-borne platform.

It is like an anchor needle, firmly tied to the Nansha Islands. Air defense missiles and even fighter-bombers deployed on the island can take the lead in dealing with extreme situations and prevent enemy weapons from falling into our territory. You can also refuel and maintain the planes that take off and land here.

For a long time in the past, China's maritime strength was not very strong. Vietnam and the Philippines have been taking advantage of the political situation in China, occupying the Nansha Islands in China for a long time, conducting a series of oil exploitation and theft, and stealing our property. Carry out a large number of scientific research activities, thieves will not die.

Western developed countries headed by the United States, the first island chain headed by Taiwan Province Island and Japan Islands, and the second island chain centered on Guam, which consists of Japan's Ogasawara Islands, Iwo Jima Islands and the United States' Mariana Islands, have seriously restricted the development of our navy. It also incited the Philippines and Viet Nam to compete for control of Hainan, China. China has built a large number of artificial islands. Just use it? Make the sea by island? Way of thinking. Every island is a fortress to protect national sovereignty. We are also purely for self-protection, and we can't let Hainan Island be restricted any more. ?

In fact, it is essential to build an artificial island in Nansha Islands. As China is already the second largest economy in the world, a large number of ships pass through Nansha Islands every year. In a responsible attitude, our country is bound to set up a base here to safeguard the safety of ships. Preventing pirates and saving the wounded are all things that a responsible big country should do. ?
