<h4>Chapter 740: The Central</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>_Min_ <strong>Editor: </strong>Rundi


    The Central of Peni stood at a height of 432 meters as the tallest building in the center of the ind. It was simr to an obelisk in a steel forest. The surface of the building was covered with graphene material, and the steel skeleton was a made out of graphene tubes, which ensured the strength of the building. At the same time, the opening of the building’s surface rotated from the bottom to the top. This design could effectively reduce theteral force of the airflow in all directions to the building.


    After all, the wind on the sea was quite strong, and these were all carefully considered by the designers.


    The building would serve as aprehensive super high-rise building, with a focus on municipal offices, and would also include services such as convention and exhibition centers, hotels, sightseeing and entertainment,merce and catering. The top room of the building, as the tallest building on the Pacific, could easily overlook the entire Peni.


    Of course, as Jiang Chen’s private property, this room was not essible to ordinary people.


    With Ayesha, Xia Shiyu, and Natasha, Jiang Chen took the sightseeing elevator to reach the highest floor, Jiang Chen’s private room.


    Surrounded by transparent graphene floor-to-ceiling windows, from the inside, it looked like the windows were nonexistent From the outside, you could only see the ck ss window.


    Stepping out of the elevator, Xia Shiyu carefully walked to the edge, reached out and touched the cold graphene floor-to-ceiling window and gently knocked on it before she sincerely eximed.


    “It’s absolutely breathtaking. Although I don’t know the world’s wonder assessment criteria, this city... can absolutely be nominated to be the world’s ninth wonder.”


    After listening to Xia Shiyu’s words, Jiang Chen smiled and did not speak.


    Peni City could be regarded as the ninth wonder. If he can manufacture the space elevator, “the first heavenly tower in human history”, what will that be then?


    “Only the miracles precipitated by history could be nominated. And as far as I know, six of the eight wonders of the world have been destroyed,” Natasha murmured.


    Ayesha has been standing beside Jiang Chen without speaking, but from her blue pupil, Jiang Chen could see the reflection of the entire city and the color known as shock.


    After taking photos, Jiang Chen uploaded them to Weibo and Twitter. He took the three girls around for a tour in The Central before taking off on a helicopter and leaving the artificial ind and returning to Coro Ind.


    At present, the entire ind was still in the clearing stage, and sea urchins and algae growth still existed below the sea level. One monthter, the Pearl of the Pacific would present to the world her true appearance.


    ...


    Just as Jiang Chen wasnding on the ind, at least five spy satellites from around the world aimed at the ind on the western Pacific Ocean and observed the “artificial ind”.


    As early as the first day of thepletion of Peni City, all countries in the world turned their attention to this giant city on the sea.


    What does it mean to build a city on the sea?


    It means that the congested living space onnd would bepletely freed to the ocean, and those countries with extensive territorial waters but scarcend resources would hopefully obtain opportunities to develop resources on the sea through Future Heavy Industrial.


    At present, 27 countries have listed the marine city n as a state-level key scientific research project. 97 of the 150 coastal countries have started to strengthen diplomatic rtions with Xin and have thrown olive branches at Future Group.


    Although Future Heavy Industries had not announced ns to sell marine cities, for the time being, there was bound to be a second city. While there was no such n now, it didn’t mean that there would be no n in the future. In short, there was no reason not to have a good rtionship!


    Affected by the expected coverage of the marine city, the share price of High Tech Freshwater once again spiked. Desalination tforms y an irreceable role as supporting facilities for offshore cities. If Peni City would open up the prelude to the development of marine resources, the desalination market would expand more than two times.


    In the future, the marine cities built by Future Heavy Industries would naturally be equipped with their own seawater desalination nts. This would be undoubtedly true.


    On the other hand, as Jiang Chen’s photographs taken on the top floor of the Central were uploaded to Weibo and Twitter, his fans immediately ruptured and retweeted fanatically as the photos began to spread to other social media tforms.


    “It’s so cool! I’ve already decided that after Peni opens, I must go to this city! I’ll buy my ticket now!”


    “Sh*t! The ticket to Coro Ind in March has already been sold out! Fortunately, there are still several cruise tickets...”


    “The feeling of living on a floating city must be awesome! Oh, damn, why didn’t I buy the suite on it? It wasn’t very expensive at first...”


    “...”


    While the photos were going viral, the major media also reprinted this set of photos and had various eye-catching headlines to carry out extended coverage. Exclusive news, insider information, and all sorts of leads flowed out.


    ording to Google Trends data, in just 12 hours, the global search of the word Peni had exploded 17.5 times! It was ranked first in search ranking.


    From just this stat, it was easy to see people’s enthusiasm for Peni City.


    From a business point of view, this was undoubtedly a sessful marketing campaign. Even those who had no interest in the city being in the sea or onnd would be more than happy to take out their wallets and buy a ticket to go to Coro Ind...


    If there were any tickets left.


    Of course, some experts and schrs expressed concern about the establishment of Peni City.


    “I recognize that the establishment of Peni City is disruptive to the construction, shipping, and other fields. But I also have to point out that the impact on the Pacific eco-environment will also be disruptive. With our encroachment on the living space of marine life, one day we will push these human friends to a dead end. As for whether or not Future Group exploit marine resources is reasonable, I would question on behalf of Greenpeace...”


    “Thepletion of Peni City will undoubtedly exacerbate the maritime territorial disputes, especially in the South China Sea...”


    “Tsunami, typhoon, submarine volcanic eruption... For a marine city, these disasters are absolutely deadly. Before Peni proves that it has enough crisis response capabilities, I doubt the safety of living in this maritime city. ”


    “...”


    However, these opposing voices were eventually submerged in the wave of one-sided public opinion. The data released by the New World Tourism Administration and Future Tourism were sufficient to support this. Many hotels in Xin were booked full in March. Even some rtively unsophisticated hostels were in short supply.


    As a response, InterContinental, Marriott, Hilton and other international hotel groups announced ns to add hotels in Xin in the next quarter to cope with the current short supply of rooms.


    How long can this tourism festivalst?


    At least before the official opening of Peni in March, the tourists on Pannu Ind would not decrease.


    However, Jiang Chen may not be able to witness the grand opening. NAC’s Expeditionary Force in Yizhou Ind encountered a little trouble. For the space elevator base parts waiting to be delivered, he must make a trip, personally…
