Substitute Messenger of One Piece World

Under the exquisite operation of these professionals, they took advantage of the convenience of the instruments. Although these instruments were not specifically used to make desalination devices, this did not affect the speed. After a long time, the simplest device has been made.

"It's done, Mr. Sharkey, come here quickly, we'll start testing now!"

Someone shouted, and Xia Ji and Weiwei looked at each other, each seeing a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Weiwei had never seen these things before. No one had ever made such a thing before, and no one had thought about it, at least not among the people she knew.

Now this is like a dream. A device that can desalinize seawater has actually been built. In her opinion, it is really incredible, because seawater accounts for most of the world. If there is this device, then the seawater will be desalinated. When sailing, you don’t have to worry about running out of fresh water.

The two walked among a group of old men and turned their attention to the device. The crystal clear glass device was made up of several huge jars spliced ​​together. The jar below contained the seawater that had just been transported.

The jar above has criss-crossed storage tanks that perform their own duties. Each storage tank is connected to a corresponding outlet. Outside the outlet is a water conduit pipe. The final convergence point of the pipes is at the mouth of another jar. This final jar is a container for storing fresh water.

In addition to the first time, the outer layer of the upper tank is also wrapped with a tank, which also contains cold water and is connected by pipes, so that the water source can be replaced at any time to ensure that the temperature is at the most suitable level for condensation.

"Is it that simple? Can it be completely desalinated just once? Or does it need to be used multiple times to desalinate this tank of seawater?"

Sharkey looked at the device and asked, this problem has existed for a long time, and it is not only this problem, but also the scaling on the device after the seawater evaporates, and the aging of the device. These must be clarified before we can Know how long a device will last.

How long and how many times? Only in this way can we set appropriate prices for future business.

"Don't worry, this is just a sample. We need to test it first. After knowing the data, we can analyze it and improve this device. So let's start now?"

Sharkey nodded. As the flames under the seawater tank rose, the test began. A group of people were waiting quietly, and soon some changes appeared in the device.

"It's started! It's started!"

As the shouts rang out, water droplets began to condense in the jar above the device, and then slowly slid down the inclined glass wall and entered the water storage tank.

As time passed, the water flow that was originally a drop gradually increased, turned into a continuous trickle, and finally entered the container storing fresh water.

Sharkey reached into the fresh water container, dipped a little, and put it in his mouth.

"Tsk... It really is like this, but it's not enough!"

Frowning, the smell Xia Ji felt was no different from what he imagined. Although it was diluted a bit, it was still far from fresh water. According to this situation, it would take three to five times to be considered successful. In this case, the number of devices will increase.

"I'll give it a try, don't crowd me, let me try too!"

"What are you doing? There are so many, why are you so anxious?"

Several old men came forward one after another and almost stuffed their heads into the jar. After trying to dilute the taste of sea water, they all frowned and were a little dissatisfied with the result.

"This level of dilution is not enough. Let's move on. Stop here first, take out the remaining devices, and add a total of four more devices. After multiple purifications, there should be no problems."

"and many more!"

Several old men were ready to take action, they were all hard-working men, but before they started, they were stopped by a slightly younger man. After being stopped, several guys were a little dissatisfied and stared at the person who stopped them with dangerous eyes.

The middle-aged scientists were not deterred by this situation, but put forward their opinions:

"This is not enough. After desalination, some other substances need to be removed. Although we can't see it, seawater contains too many things. Not all elements are what we need. There are some It will cause harm to the human body!”

"Yes, I think so too. In addition to downplaying it, we have to solve this problem again. Have you..."

Sharkey took a step forward, responded, and then asked about something similar to the function of activated carbon. However, before he finished asking, he was interrupted by one of the old men, who smiled with surprise on his face. Then he said:

"I remembered! I remembered! Fortunately, you reminded me to stop. Maybe this is the only device. I'll go get the things!"

Before anyone else could react, the old man burst out with a speed he shouldn't have at his age, disappeared in front of everyone, and then rushed back again in less than a few seconds, still holding two pieces of ashes. brown stone.

"This is! Adsorption stone?! Isn't this what we were going to study before? Oh! I see, it turns out that's what it is, hurry up and try it!"

One person figured it out, and the others immediately knew the result in their hearts, including Sharkey.

"Sharkey, is this stone used for the adsorption you mentioned?"

Weiwei also thought of it and was a little curious. She had never seen such a stone that could turn seawater into fresh water.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, the old man put the two gray-brown stones into the jar.

"Everyone, wait a moment, let me introduce to you the two stones just now, Mr. Sharkey, and Princess Weiwei!"

"Those two stones were discovered by an accident not long ago. They can absorb some special substances in the water. Although they can desalinate a little seawater, the desalinated ones are not enough for use, so they have never been put to use. Slowly forgotten.

This time I just remembered to test the effect of putting it inside. If it is possible, then this device will be solved, and it does not need to be too complicated. "

Weiwei kept nodding her little head, indicating that she understood, and Xia Ji also nodded, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that there were such strange stones, but when he thought of there were many inexplicable things in this world, It's no longer strange.

Ten minutes later, the old man was still chattering there. Someone beside him was already a little impatient because of his noise. Maybe there was enough time, so he directly lifted the jar with the stone in it, poured out the water, and then took out the stone.

"Fuck~"

After taking a small sip, a delighted smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, "That's it! There's no problem at all. It's ready to drink. And judging from the impurities on the stone, there should be no problem."

"Although I say that, we still need to test the data of desalinated water. Let's start now!"

Everyone started to move again, completing the tests one by one in an orderly manner. A few minutes later, a report was presented in front of Sharkey.

"Mr. Sharkey, it really worked. Your idea is not wrong!"

Sharkey raised his eyebrows. He was not the only one who did all this. Without the stone, it would not have had such a good effect. The most important thing is that the stone, if it could be mass-produced...

"Where were those stones found?"

"Oh! Those adsorption stones, I just named them. Those adsorption stones are what we are..."
