Egypt.

4.6 km southeast of Kom Ombo City.

After more than 10 days of construction, the Gobi Desert New Area has undergone great changes.

At the same time, the Giant Rhino 1 has also completed the excavation of the double line of the canal and returned to the Hongku Port again, where it is currently resting.

With the opening of the double line of the canal between the port of Hongku and the city of Kom Ombu, the sailing schedule that used to run every eight hours can now be increased to every two hours.

Of course, this also requires an increase in the unloading speed of the temporary terminal, otherwise the speed can be further increased.

However, at this time, the Gobi Desert New Area.

Hu Mingliang, the person in charge, did not pay too much attention to the wharf area, after all, there were no giant rhino canal opening boats, and they could not dig much earthwork with excavators, so he focused on the construction of supporting facilities in the Gobi Desert New Area.

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

On the side of the Gobi Desert, there is also a relatively high mountain col, the height of several hills is about 173~192 meters, and there is a small basin in the middle, with an area of about 4.9 square kilometers.

After the survey of Beiyang, the head of the planning team, he thought that this mountain col could be used to build a water storage reservoir.

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

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

The roof of the water purification plant is covered with large areas of solar panels, which are arranged in concentric circles that reflect a portion of the sunlight into the molten salt storage column in the middle.

This tropical desert area is the most suitable for arranging solar panels.

In the tropical desert area of Egypt, the air is dry, cloudless, the sunshine time is about 8~11 hours a day, and the light intensity per square meter can reach 2000~3000 kWh.

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

At present, the solar power generation system of the water purification plant has a power generation area of 400,000 square meters, which can generate 240 megawatt hours of electricity per day.

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

The characteristic of this technology is that the permeable layer is very cheap to cost, and the service life can reach about 17 months.

Moreover, this technology also has a feature, that is, it can accelerate the passage of water molecules through the permeable layer through pressurization, so as to achieve the effect of increasing production and saving the floor space of the equipment.

At present, the 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 room.

Huang Chongxin, director of the water purification plant, pointed to both sides of the pressurized water room: "Manager, here is the temporary storage pool for pure water, and here is the miscellaneous salt storage pool. ”

"How much miscellaneous salt is produced per day?"

"About 4200~4400 tons per day, the salinity of the sea water on this side of the Red Sea is relatively high."

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

"There are supporting facilities on it, but the equipment is still on the side of Hongku Port, and it will take about five days to transport it to Kom Ombu." Huang Chongxin replied.

Hu Mingming's assistant took out a tablet and found out the transportation of equipment from the supporting factory: "It's really over there in Hongku Port, do you want to urge it?" ”

"No, all the tasks of the transportation department are scheduled, and it's not good to cut the queue temporarily, don't mention this kind of thing in the future." Hu Mingliang directly vetoed it.

"I'm sorry, I see." The rookie assistant quickly apologized.

Hu Mingliang turned his head: "Lao Huang, you are also in charge of the supporting factories, and how many temporary workers can your factory eat?" ”

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

"Okay, just 25 people!"

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

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

"I'll arrange a team to pick up the salt bricks."

For the miscellaneous salt that produces 4200~4400 tons per day, it is naturally impossible to process edible salt or industrial salt, because it is impossible to eat so much.

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

Homo sapiens plans to build 80 new cities in Egypt, which will definitely require water purification plants, which will produce hundreds of millions of tons of miscellaneous salt every year.

Obviously, edible salt and industrial salt cannot digest this capacity.

However, if it is not treated, it will take up space and even pollute the surrounding land.

Therefore, after Homo sapiens developed water purification technology, he was thinking about how to use these miscellaneous salts in waste, and finally thought of the field of construction.

By adding an aluminum alloy mesh, as well as coagulants and structural enhancers, the miscellaneous salts are pressed into bricks.

If it is in other places, this compressed salt brick is also difficult to apply to the construction field.

But where is this?

It is a tropical desert area, with high temperature and little rain all year round, and the air is dry, and 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, Homo sapiens did not include them in high-rise buildings, and even urban buildings did not approve the use of salt bricks.

Now the use of these salt bricks is to build simple roads, especially through desert areas, salt bricks can be used to lay foundations and roads.

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

In addition, the roads in the seawater rice planting area can also be paved with salt bricks, after all, the seawater rice planting area must be salinized land, so you don't need to care too much about soil salinization.

This miscellaneous salt can be used for the construction of roads in the Sahara Desert.

The other side.

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

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

These days are really uncomfortable, although the new humans are more adaptable, but from the tropical rainforest, tropical monsoon region of Southeast Asia, to the tropical desert region of Egypt, many people are actually not very adaptable.

For example, the problem of bathing.

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

And when I came to Egypt, where water resources were scarce, it was a luxury to take a bath once a day.

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

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

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

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and change your clothes."

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

The cold pure water refreshed everyone and swept away the previous fatigue.

A young local temporary worker asked curiously, "Captain! How much does it cost to wash this type of pool once? ”

"No money, this is one of the employee benefits, the infrastructure here is not good, I wash it every day in Johor."

"No money?" A lot of temporary workers were shocked.

After all, in their previous lives, this kind of indoor swimming pool was usually enjoyed by wealthy people, and ordinary people could only swim in the Nile River at most.

"Don't make a fuss, it's just a small benefit."

The casual workers became more and more envious of the life of Homo sapiens.
