Chapter 612: Lighthouse

After all, the District of Tuvalu is a small island that has been reclaimed from the seabed by hand, and it is true that every inch of land is valuable.

Most of the planned areas on the island are residential areas, and there are no major factories and mines or enterprises at all.

In such a dense living environment, no one wants to work with such a member who is suffering from an incurable infectious disease.

As for this kind of disease, which can be contracted in places outside the Special Administrative Region, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.

Even if the probability of this is only one in a trillion, who dares to say that he is definitely not the most unlucky one.

Today, you can vote to deport this patient, and there is no guarantee that such a thing will not fall on your head in the future.

Therefore, that decision will not be made unless it is absolutely necessary.

"I support such an approach, after all, proper isolation of people in the absence of a cure is also necessary to protect everyone from infection.

AIDS is not contagious under ordinary contact, so we can arrange a relatively fixed working and living environment for him. ”

"Everyone understands this truth, but in the case of the 'self-flowing post' system implemented in the Special Economic Zone, where resources are highly shared and jobs are not fixed, how can we arrange a relatively fixed working and living environment for him?"

Soon, the problem of arranging a relatively fixed working and living environment for people who need to be quarantined was brought to the top.

After a brief silence, someone continued to follow the post: "I made a ranking according to the location of the job position, and found that we really have such a job in Tuvalu, which is the lighthouse guard located near the SAR waterway.

As the Special District of Tuvalu was built on the Tuvalu Breakwater, the existence of which changed the original shipping lane, made the route into Tuvalu more complicated.

In order to ensure the safety of shipping, a number of lighthouses are set up on the breakwater embankment to remind passing ships to take the initiative to avoid. ”

"Don't you say that we don't know what age it is, and the SAR is still using backward navigation technology like lighthouses.

We can establish a modern integrated navigation system based on radar transponders, DGPS systems, and AIS automatic identification systems to navigate ships.

Setting up these lighthouses on the breakwater, I don't know what the point is. ”

"Hehe, sometimes, the lighthouse is not only used to navigate passing ships.

The construction of breakwater levees on the outskirts of Tuvalu has in fact expanded the original territory and the area under its jurisdiction by a factor of 100.

If it weren't for the particular circumstances of Tuvalu and the fact that there were no other countries around it, such behaviour would not have been permissible.

So, the installation of lighthouses on the breakwaters, in addition to being simple navigation, is actually a symbol of sovereignty to assert Tuvalu's sovereignty to passing ships.

From this point of view, these lighthouses still have their raison d'Γͺtre. β€œ

However, most of these lighthouses are built on breakwaters, which are in fact the main land-based access roads connecting the major urban units.

Therefore, even if he is asked to guard the lighthouse, he can intersect with more people through convenient land transportation, and it will not play the role of isolation at all. β€œ

"The lighthouses on the breakwater do not certainly have an isolation effect, however, there are several special lighthouses in Tuvalu's special district that should be able to achieve such an effect."

"A special lighthouse?"

"Yes, have you forgotten the high-pressure compressed air storage field in Tuvalu's energy supply system, which is located off the sea?

Although the high-voltage storage plant is located below the surface of the sea, the large concrete caisson and the large amount of earth and rock pressed on it to prevent the caisson from floating have actually changed the shape of the seabed, making the area where the energy storage site is located no longer suitable for navigation.

In order to alert passing ships, the SAR has built four lighthouses at the four corners of the site to indicate the location and size of the site below the sea surface, as well as to protect the working area in the site.

The four lighthouses were previously maintained on a part-time basis by the power station's staff, so the maintenance tasks for the four lighthouses are not listed separately in the mission platform.

At that time, it was because no one wanted to work in a place that was relatively isolated from the city, so they had to use this method to bundle with other jobs.

Because of this, the maintenance requirements for those four lighthouses are simpler than those of other lighthouses, and regular maintenance is adopted.

Generally, after discovering that the lighthouse is faulty, the responsible member will go over to check the cause of the failure.

Simple problems are fine, but more complex problems can be solved through a task publishing platform, which does not guarantee that the lighthouse will work around the clock.

Since we now need a separate workspace to house this particular patient, I thought it would be possible to take this job and carve out an area within the energy storage farm workspace where they live. ”

"I remember that the energy storage farm was storing high-pressure gas, and as long as it was a pressure facility, there were generally certain safety hazards, so it had to be kept away from residential areas.

Will having them live in an energy storage farm that may be dangerous will have an impact on their lives? ”

In order to correct this misunderstanding, people who used to be engaged in the maintenance of energy storage farms also came out to speak: "The main body of the energy storage farm is under the sea surface, and it is mainly responsible for providing continuous energy supply to the special zone.

Although the concrete caisson is stored with high-pressure gas, due to the special design of the caisson, it can automatically maintain a dynamic balance with the pressure of seawater according to the amount of gas stored.

Therefore, this high-pressure gas storage field is completely different from other high-pressure gas tank storage principles, even if the gas charged exceeds the maximum volume of the caisson due to equipment failure, the excess gas will naturally overflow, which will not affect the safety of the energy storage unit, let alone explode.

The site was built far from the residential area, not for safety reasons, but because of the proximity to the first urban unit in the Special Zone, and only that place could provide enough depth to ensure sufficient pressure in the caissons.

Moreover, since the compressed air in the storage field is connected to the storage power station via a submarine pipeline, it belongs to another closed circulating space.

Even if the surface of the storage field is full of airborne viruses, it cannot enter other places through the pipes of the storage field.

So, from a safety point of view, I don't think there's any problem with converting the area above the energy storage field into a residential area for isolating special patients. ”

"At present, there are a total of five areas of the energy storage field that are exposed to the sea, namely the lighthouse at the four corners and the pressure data collection center in the center.

With the exception of the pressure data acquisition center, the locations of the other four lighthouses can be simply modified to provide a small amount of living space.

If he wants to, I think he can leave the maintenance of the lighthouse of the energy storage field to him. ”
