Homo sapiens

Suez Branch.

4.6 kilometers southeast of Kom Ombo City.

After more than ten days of construction, the Gobi Desert New Area has changed drastically.

At the same time, Juxi 1 also completed the excavation work of the double line of the canal and returned to Hongku Port again. It is currently resting in Hongku Port.

With the opening of the double-track canal between Hongku Port and Kom Ombo City, the previous sailing schedule of every 8 hours can now be increased to every 2 hours.

Of course, this also requires increasing the unloading speed of the temporary terminal, otherwise the speed can be further improved.

But at this time in the Gobi Desert New Area.

The person in charge, Hu Mingliang, did not pay too much attention to the dock area. After all, there was no giant rhinoceros-type channel dredger. They could not dig much earth with their excavators. Therefore, he focused on the construction of supporting facilities in the Gobi Desert New Area.

For example, the water purification plant has just been built with modular equipment.

On one side of the Gobi Desert, there is a relatively high mountain depression. The height of several hills is about 173 to 192 meters. There is a small basin in the middle with an area of ​​about 4.9 square kilometers.

After investigation by Kamijou Hokuyo, the leader of the planning team, he believed that this mountain depression could be used to build a water storage reservoir.

As for the water source of the reservoir, it comes from seawater from the canal.

At this time, the water purification plant has begun to be put into use.

The roof of the water purification plant is covered with a large area of ​​solar panels, and these solar panels are arranged in a concentric circle to reflect part of the sunlight into the molten salt heat storage column in the middle.

This tropical desert area is most suitable for installing solar panels.

The tropical desert area of ​​Suez has dry air, cloudless air, about 8 to 11 hours of sunshine every day, and the light intensity per square meter can reach 2,000 to 3,000 kilowatt hours.

The solar power generation system of the water purification plant is a photovoltaic photothermal composite power generation system, which can solve the shortcoming of photovoltaic solar energy that can only generate electricity during the day.

The current solar power generation system of the water purification plant has a power generation area of ​​400,000 square meters and can generate 240 megawatt hours of electricity every day.

The water purification system of the water purification plant adopts Homo sapiens' unique water purification technology - biological nanostructure infiltration technology.

The characteristic of this technology is that the permeable layer is very cheap and has a service life of about 17 months.

Another feature of this technology is that it can accelerate water molecules through the permeable layer through pressurization, thereby achieving the effect of increasing output and saving equipment floor space.

The current water purification system of the water purification plant can produce 5,000 cubic meters of pure water per hour and 120,000 cubic meters per day.

Hu Mingliang stood outside the pressurized water chamber.

Huang Chongxin, director of the water purification plant, pointed to both sides of the pressurized water chamber: "Manager, this side is the temporary storage tank for pure water, and this side is the storage tank for miscellaneous salt."

“How much miscellaneous salt is produced every day?”

"About 4,200 to 4,400 tons per day. The water salinity in the Red Sea is relatively high."

Hu Mingliang pinched his beard: "We must find a way to deal with these miscellaneous salts."

"There are supporting facilities above, but the equipment is still at Hongku Port. It will take about five days to be transported to Kom Ombo." Huang Chongxin replied.

Hu Mingliang's assistant took out his tablet and found out the equipment transportation status of the supporting factory: "It is indeed at Hongku Port. Do you want to urge me?"

"No, all tasks in the transportation department have been arranged. It's not good to jump in the queue temporarily. Don't mention this kind of thing in the future." Hu Mingliang rejected it directly.

"Sorry, I understand." The rookie assistant quickly apologized.

Hu Mingliang turned his head: "Old Huang, you are also in charge of the supporting factories. In addition, how many temporary workers can your factory handle?"

"Temporary workers? Hmm..." Huang Chongxin thought for a while: "About 20 to 30 people, mainly needed by the solar panel dust removal and miscellaneous salt processing plants."

"Okay, just 25 people!"

"Okay, I'll arrange the team leader as soon as possible."

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly Huang Chongxin remembered something: "Manager, you need to do a good job in handling the products produced by the miscellaneous salt processing plant."

"I will arrange a team to handle Salt Brick."

As for the 4,200 to 4,400 tons of miscellaneous salt produced every day, it is naturally impossible to use it to process edible salt or industrial salt because we cannot eat so much.

At this scale, the entire water purification plant would produce millions of tons of miscellaneous salts a year, and this is just one of the water purification plants.

In the Homo sapiens company's plan, it will invest in the construction of 80 new cities in Suez. These cities will definitely need water purification plants, which will produce hundreds of millions of tons of miscellaneous salt every year.

Obviously, edible salt and industrial salt cannot absorb this production capacity.

But if not treated, it will take up space and even pollute surrounding land.

Therefore, after the Homo sapiens company developed water purification technology, it was thinking about how to utilize these miscellaneous salts from waste. After much deliberation, it finally thought of the construction field.

By adding aluminum alloy grids, coagulants and structural reinforcements, the mixed salt is pressed into bricks.

If it were elsewhere, it would be difficult to apply this compressed salt brick to the construction field.

But where is this place?

This is a tropical desert area with year-round high temperatures, little rain, and dry air. The salt bricks will not absorb water and dissolve, let alone be washed away by rain.

Of course, considering the structural strength of salt bricks, the Homo sapiens company has not included them in high-rise buildings, and has not even approved the use of salt bricks in urban buildings.

The current use of these salt bricks is to build simple roads, especially those passing through desert areas, where salt bricks can be used to lay foundations and roads.

Anyway, there is no problem of soil contamination in these desert areas, as long as salt bricks are not used in the Nile River valley plains and delta plains.

In addition, roads in seawater rice planting areas can also be paved with salt bricks. After all, seawater rice planting areas are definitely saline-alkali land, so there is no need to worry too much about soil salinization.

These miscellaneous salts can be used in the construction of roads in the Sahara Desert.

the other side.

In the staff dormitory area of ​​Gobi Desert New Area.

As soon as all the employees got off work, they hurried back to their rooms.

It’s been so uncomfortable these days. Although the new humans are relatively adaptable, many people are actually not very adaptable to traveling from the tropical rain forests and tropical monsoon areas of Southeast Asia to the tropical desert areas of Suez.

For example, the problem of bathing.

In Southeast Asia, bathing once a day is standard, and bathing two or three times a day is quite common.

But in the Suez Desert, where water is scarce, bathing once a day is a luxury.

However, Homo Sapien Company is still very concerned about the lives of its employees.

As soon as the water purification plant was put into use, shower rooms and swimming pools were opened in the dormitory area.

A dozen local temporary workers who had just joined the Homo sapiens company were led to the swimming room by their captain.

"Don't be stunned and change clothes quickly."

The temporary workers, who had just woken up from a dream, hurriedly went to the locker room to change clothes, and then followed the captain to find a small swimming pool.

The cold pure water made everyone feel refreshed and washed away their previous fatigue.

A young local temporary worker asked curiously: "Captain! How much does it cost to wash this kind of swimming pool?"

"It doesn't cost any money. This is one of the employee benefits. The infrastructure here is not good. I wash it every day in Johor."

"No money?" Many temporary workers were shocked.

After all, in their past lives, this kind of indoor swimming pool was usually only available to wealthy people. Ordinary people could only go swimming in the Nile River at most.

"Don't make a fuss, this is just a small benefit."

A group of temporary workers became more and more envious of the life in the Homo Sapiens Company.
