101. Special ores
Under the exquisite operation of these professionals, borrowing the convenience of the instrument, although these instruments are not specifically used to make a desalination device, but this does not affect the speed, and after Sharky and Weiwei waited for a long time, the simplest device has been made.
"It's done, Mr. Sharky, come here, let's start testing!"
One of them shouted, and Sharky and Vivi glanced at each other, each seeing a glimmer of expectation in their eyes.
Vivi had never seen any of these things, no one had ever made them before, and no one had thought about it, at least not among the people she knew.
Now this is like a dream, the device that can desalinate seawater has been made, in her opinion, it is really a bit incredible, because seawater accounts for the vast majority of this world, if there is this device, then sailing on the sea, there is no need to worry about the situation of no fresh water.
The two of them walked to the middle of a group of old men, and turned their attention to the device, a crystal clear glass device, several huge jars spliced together, and the lower jar contained the seawater that had just been transported.
The upper tank has criss-crossing but each with its own function, each tank is connected to a corresponding outlet, and the outlet is followed by a water pipe, and the final convergence point of the pipe is at the mouth of another tank, which is the container for storing fresh water.
In addition to the first time, the outer layer of the upper jar is also wrapped in a jar, which is also filled with cold water, and is connected by pipes, so that the water source can be changed at any time to ensure that the temperature is at the most suitable level for condensation.
"Is it that simple? Can it be completely faded if it is just once? Or does it take multiple uses to desalinate this tank of seawater? ”
Sharky looked at the device and asked, this problem has existed for a long time, and not only this problem, but also the scaling on the device after the evaporation of seawater, and the aging degree of the device, these must be clarified to be able to know the service life of a device.
How long and how many times, only in this way can we set the appropriate price in the future business.
"Don't worry, this is just a sample, we have to test it first, and after we know the data, we can analyze it to improve this device, so let's get started, right?"
Sharky nodded, and as the flames under the seawater jar rose, this test was also the beginning, and a group of people were waiting quietly, and soon there were some changes in the device.
"Here we go! Here we go! ”
As the shouts rang out, the water in the jar above the device began to condense, and then slowly slid down the sloping glass wall into the tank.
As the minutes passed, the flow of water, which had been drops by drop, gradually increased, turning into a continuous trickle, and finally entering the container where the fresh water was stored.
Shaki reached into the container of fresh water, dipped a little, and put it in his mouth.
"Tsk...... Sure enough, it's like this, but that's not enough! ”
Frowning, the smell that Shaki felt was no different from what he imagined, although it was diluted a little, but it was still far from fresh water, according to this situation, it would take three to five times to be considered a success, so in this case, the device would have to increase.
"I'll try, don't squeeze, let me try too!"
"What do you do! There are so many, what are you in a hurry? ”
Several old men came to the front one after another, and almost stuffed their heads into the jar, and after trying the taste of desalinated seawater, they all frowned, a little dissatisfied with the result.
"This degree of dilution is not enough, all move, stop here first, get the remaining devices out, add a total of four more devices, after multiple purification, there should be no problem."
"Wait!"
A few old men were ready to do it, they were all some doers, but before they started, they were stopped by the slightly younger ones, and after being stopped, several guys were a little dissatisfied, and they stared at the people who stopped them with dangerous eyes.
Middle-aged scientists were not intimidated by this situation, but put forward their opinion:
"It's just that this is not enough, after desalination, we also need to remove some other substances in it, although we can't see it, but the seawater contains too many things, not all elements are what we need, and some will cause harm to the human body!"
"That's right, I think so too, we have to solve this problem in addition to diluting it, do you have ......?"
Xia Ji stepped forward and responded, and then asked about something similar to the function of activated charcoal, but before he could finish asking, he was interrupted by one of the old men, only to see him smile in surprise, and then said:
"I remember! I've got it! Fortunately, you reminded me, stop it, maybe this is the right device, I'll go get something! ”
Before the others could react, the old man burst out with a speed that he should not have at his age, disappeared before the crowd, and then in less than a few seconds, he rushed back again, still holding two gray-brown stones in his hands.
"This is! Adsorption Stone?! Isn't that something we're going to look at before? Oh! I see, I see, hurry up and try it! ”
One person came up with it, and the others immediately knew the result in their hearts, and even Sharky looked like he knew it.
"Shaky, is this stone used for the adsorption effect you said?"
Vivi also thought about 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 two gray-brown stones were put into the jar by the old man,
"Guys, wait a moment, let me introduce you to those two stones, Mr. Sharky, and Princess Vivi!"
"Those two stones were discovered by an accident not long ago, and they can absorb some special substances in the water, although they can desalinate a little seawater, but the desalination is not enough to be used for reference, so they have not come in handy and have been slowly forgotten.
This time, I just remembered to test how effective it is, and if I could, then this device would be solved, and it wouldn't have to be too cumbersome. ”
Weiwei's little head kept nodding, indicating that she knew, and Xia Ji also nodded, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, she didn't expect that there was such a strange stone, but it was no longer strange to think that there were many inexplicable things in this world.
Ten minutes later, the old man was still chattering there, and someone next to him was already a little impatient with his noise, perhaps because there was enough time, so he directly lifted the jar where he put the stone, poured out the water, and then took out the stone.
"Slip~"
After taking a sip, a happy smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, "It's okay!" There is no problem at all, it can already be drunk, and looking at the impurities on this stone, there should be no problem. ”
"That being said, it's still necessary to test the data of the desalinated water, so let's start now!"
Everyone started moving again, and the tests were done one by one in an orderly manner, and a few minutes later, a report was presented to Sharkey.
"Mr. Sharky, it really worked, your idea is not wrong!"
Sharkey raised his eyebrows, all this is not just what he did, if it weren't for the stone, it wouldn't have such a good effect, and the most important thing is that the stone, if it can be mass-produced......
"Where did you find those stones?"
"Oh! Those adsorption stones, which I just named them, those adsorption stones, are what we are ......."
