Chapter 14 Desalination can begin
Chapter 14 Desalination can begin
Hu Jiangshan quickly drove his yacht to General Island.
At this time, the small pier on General Island has been built in an orderly manner.
The originally dilapidated pier has been renovated and looks like new. Almost all the wood has been replaced and specially treated, making it both strong and moisture-proof as well as beautiful.
Now Uncle Gou Ming and others are building a cabin on the shore. Hu Jiangshan went over to take a look. The cabin is quite spacious, divided into two rooms, inside and outside, so it is no problem for one or two people to live in it.
At this time, Kevin had already come over.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu, you are finally here! Things have changed over there!"
As he spoke, Kevin pointed in another direction of the island, and it was obvious from his expression that he was shocked.
That's where the desalination facility is located.
Hu Jiangshan was of course not in a hurry and asked, "What has changed?"
Kevin swallowed and said, "There are a lot of strange buildings on the island. I don't know who built them."
"Oh."
Kevin didn't notice Hu Jiangshan's noncommittal expression and directly asked Hu Jiangshan to go over there.
Sure enough, it was the desalination facility that was built.
Hu Jiangshan looked around and his eyes widened.
Although Hu Jiangshan was mentally prepared, he was still surprised to see the completion of the desalination facilities.
The scale is much larger than imagined!
There were more than 20 facilities standing on the sea, some tall, some short, some big, some small, and they looked very complicated.
There is also a large pool filled with sea water in the middle of the main facility.
Hu Jiangshan knew the principle of seawater desalination. As long as the desalination equipment was started, the seawater in the pool would slowly be desalinated into fresh water.
This pond is not small, it is equivalent to building a freshwater lake by the sea.
Kevin couldn't help but ask, "Sir Hu, did you offend someone?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Who did I offend?"
"Who built this thing here? It's obvious that they want to occupy land."
Hu Jiangshan then understood what Kevin was thinking. He was worried that someone would occupy his territory.
Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "I asked someone to build this."
Kevin was stunned.
"Ah? You hired someone to build it? What is this for?"
"Can't you see? This is a desalination plant."
Kevin's eyes almost popped out of his head.
A desalination plant was built so easily? It's too easy!
The key point is that this is not a small-scale desalination facility. At a glance, the investment is over 100 million!
You should know that there is no desalination plant in the entire Hong Kong Island, and almost all fresh water comes from the mainland.
"But when did you find someone to build it? I came here several times but didn't hear any movement!"
"That's because you didn't notice."
Kevin was completely confused.
It is possible that Kevin didn't see it. After all, he had never come here before. It was discovered by the construction team today.
But how is it possible that such a large project is being built without any large engineering ships coming and going?
But now it has been built and it is right in front of him, like a miracle. Kevin can't help but believe it.
Kevin suddenly realized that this was a desalination plant, a facility that could turn seawater into fresh water.
"Oh, my goodness! Sir Hu, now there will be fresh water on General Island!"
"Of course, I think if this pool is full of fresh water, then it will definitely be enough."
Kevin rubbed his head.
"Isn't this enough? It's no problem for ten thousand people to drink! Sir Hu, are you really planning to build a villa here? No! Are you going to build a hotel on the island? Build a resort? Develop it into a holiday island?" Hu Jiangshan glanced at Kevin.
To be honest, Kevin's brain is really active.
General Island is quite large, with fresh water, electricity, and communication facilities. By building one or two hotels, it can be run as a resort island.
Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "I haven't thought that far, let's talk about this later."
"Sir Hu, how much is your investment? I heard that desalination equipment is very expensive, the price is sky-high. For such a large scale, it is the most expensive among the sky-high prices!"
Kevin feels that Hu Jiangshan is awesome.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to get electricity, water and communications on such a deserted island.
Hu Jiangshan did not comment and responded casually.
Hu Jiangshan asked, "By the way, Kevin, I see the dock is basically ready. Will it be finished today or tomorrow?"
"Yes, the dock is almost finished, except for the wooden house. I heard from Uncle Gou Ming that it should be finished today."
"Good, very good."
Hu Jiangshan and Kevin were chatting as they walked back.
Hu Jiangshan took another look at the construction quality of the dock and felt quite satisfied. There were no obvious flaws. Even if there were, they could be dealt with as long as he told Uncle Gou Ming.
The sun was very hot, and Hu Jiangshan returned to the Seahorse.
The boat is very comfortable and the view is first-class. Just by turning your head, you can see the clear blue and green sea and the sunny sky.
If Hu Jiangshan is willing, he can also go sea fishing here, which is the life many people dream of.
Hu Jiangshan, however, did not have the time to enjoy it. He continued to study the wafer manufacturing process plans and procedures on the ship.
After a busy period, Hu Jiangshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Several plans have been finalized for the time being, and we will try them out after the semiconductor production line is completed.
That evening, the pier on General Island was finally completed.
After Hu Jiangshan completed the acceptance, he paid the balance very readily and also gave some extra hard work fees.
Hu Jiangshan was generous and forthright in his spending, so naturally the people on the construction team would remember his kindness.
Uncle Gou Ming said: "Mr. Hu, if you have any projects in the future, you must come to us again. We will do whatever you say. We will ensure the quality and quantity, and we will not let you down!"
Of course Hu Jiangshan agreed.
After Kevin and the construction team left by boat, Hu Jiangshan entered the control room of the seawater desalination facility.
As expected, the various systems in the control room are similar to those in a tidal power station, and the technological level is basically the same.
Of course there are differences. The seawater desalination system is indeed more complicated.
Hu Jiangshan suddenly figured out why there was no clue about the desalination system in the Technology Engine app before.
These clues have prerequisites.
The prerequisite for seawater desalination facilities is the power system.
It’s quite interesting. The Technology Engine APP is indeed a magical mini program.
After some research, Hu Jiangshan quickly started the seawater desalination system.
The main screen dynamically displays the desalination process and desalination flow.
Hu Jiangshan was surprised by the speed of fading.
A rough estimate is that the desalination volume is tens of thousands of liters of water per hour.
And this is just downplaying the speed when the device has just been turned on and is not yet running at full power.
Hu Jiangshan looked at it for a while and found that it was running normally, so he felt relieved.
The main supporting facilities are ready, and now we are just waiting for the semiconductor factory to be built.
