Chapter 150, Flowers of the Desert (20
Southwest Angola, Africa, Namib Desert, Qingquan Technology Future Base!
The originally desolate desert was turned into a busy construction site by tens of thousands of construction workers. Standard steel plates were lifted by cranes from the Hercules transportation flying car. The steel plates were 2 meters long, one meter wide, and 5 mile thick. They had grooves on all sides or raised bumps that could be connected to grooves.
The workers first used a pile driver to drill pillar piles in the selected place in advance, then bulldozer pushed the ground flat and compacted it, then connected the steel plates one by one like splicing building blocks, and then the welder went up to weld the steel plates onto the seams. Soon, a large steel plate was paved with flat ground.
The hot weather here soon made the ground paved with steel plates extremely hot. At this time, the water pump extracted sea water from the beach and kept pouring it on it. The rising water vapor left a few white crystals, which were the salt in the sea water!
A large parking lot like this, along this coastline, Qingquan Technology has built more than a dozen of them, all of which are paved with steel plates, and the steel consumes up to tens of thousands of tons!
After the construction of the parking lot, Hercules transport flying cars rose and fell from time to time, loading and unloading a large amount of supplies, and then immediately flew to Qingquan Technology's global shopping site to transport supplies.
This time, Qingquan Technology implemented global decentralized procurement because the materials needed were too large. If you purchase them from China, you will definitely be sucked by others. There is no need to worry about global decentralized procurement.
Since Qingquan Technology is determined to build a complete reserve base, it will naturally have a huge amount of material transportation. Naturally, it must first build this parking lot, otherwise it will be trapped in the desert and it may be trapped in one go!
Not only are the parking lots directly built with steel plates, but the roads are also built with steel plates. Load-bearing piles are well built. Once the steel plates are connected, they will become a wide and sturdy steel plate road!
On the other hand, the seawater desalination treatment plant, which is the first batch of facilities to be built, is a large ultra-high pressure pump continuously pumping seawater to a relatively high place.
Because seawater contains many slight particles such as algae, humus, and sediment, it is necessary to perform simple precipitation and filtration before entering the diaphragm for filtration, and add water purifier - alkaline aluminum chloride. The water purifier can generate positive charge in water, causing the particles in the water to be subjected to static electricity and form larger particle groups, which are easy to precipitate and filter.
Then, the seawater is treated with gravity and pressurized, and the seawater is guided to filter and separate through a multi-layer film of new material.
When the water reaches the factory pool below, it has turned into fresh water. At this time, the water can be used to water plants, etc., but it cannot be used for drinking by people and animals.
Because the taste is really not very good, it also contains many other substances in seawater, which must be further treated. At this time, the water has not been disinfected with the natural water plant to remove the odor.
The next treatment is very simple. It is nothing more than re-precipitation of water, filtering, disinfecting, and storing it into the water pump's high-pressure input water pipe, and sending it to various construction sites that are not hot now.
A seawater desalination plant that is not too large can decontaminate high-quality water of hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of high-standard quality water on seawater every day. If 1 cubic cube of water is about 1,000 kg, the water we usually have is 1,000 kg of pure water. However, the water we come into contact with generally contains various mineral ions and other substances, and its density is greater than that of pure water.
How much water does a normal person need to use a day? Drink 6-8 cups of water a day, take a shower for about 80L for ten minutes, go to the bathroom 4 times a day, flush 5L for a total of 20L, wash clothes for a person about 10L, wash face and brush teeth, etc., and cook and cook, and then calculate that at least 100L of water a day! That is, at least 100kg of water is needed! (This varies from person to person, from place to place, I just simply calculate it).
It means that 1 cubic water can provide daily drinking for 10 people, which means that the seawater desalination plant desalinates every day is enough for millions of people's daily life water. Of course, considering urban greening and industrial water, this desalination water is barely enough for the time being.
In the later stage, Qingquan Technology will be built on a large scale. After immigrating, it will definitely build more seawater desalination factories, industrial water and greening water. This is the big one. You must know that this is one of the driest areas in the world!
After the water was found, people from the biotechnology company showed their skills. New plants cultivated with soil to control the desert were unloaded from Hercules flying transport vehicles.
The workers first used machines to push the desert into long strips, then covered them with plastic film and installed tiny water pipes. There was an outlet for drip irrigation at a certain distance on the water pipes, and the workers made a hole in this place.
The new desert plants with the cultivation soil were planted. After the planting was completed, the water from the water pipe would slowly drip onto the plants and send them directly to the roots. Even though it was very dry and hot here, all of them were sand and gravel, the desert plants with water could still take root and sprout smoothly.
In just a few hours, the first planting area has become a green pasture. The new desert plants have very tenacious vitality and grow faster than the arid bamboo grass and money trees launched in the previous six months. In addition, the continuous dripping water makes them grow faster!
After one night, the desolate desert was completely covered with plants that were more than ten miles high. Many desert creatures that were originally hiding underneath only came out at night, but now they also came out during the day. They were happy activities under the grass. They had to get up in the morning to eat dew every day, but now they all knew that they could go to the water pipe to wait for the water to drip out.
In just a week later, a green flower bloomed in the originally desolate desert. The desert of dozens of square kilometers was covered by a green ocean, and the green ocean was still expanding. The desert seemed extremely helpless at this moment, and it was gone without the rage and noise of the past.
In the middle of the green ocean, roads are completely paved with steel plates, and water is poured out from time to time to cool down. These roads connect areas where many building skeletons can be seen everywhere.
These buildings are not too high. Countless construction workers are sweating profusely to fill these skeletons. From time to time, they unscrew the faucet beside them to wash and cool off. It's so hot here!
With the hard work of tens of thousands of workers, a beautiful green flower slowly blooms in this ancient and arid Nanobu desert!
