290: Focus on work.

Tian Ming returned to the Central Building of the Shelter. Compared to the underground, he preferred his original office. Staying underground always felt a bit oppressive.

Perhaps it was because of Shen Yuan, or for other reasons, recent events made him realize that he was not strong enough and the Shelter was not large enough.

The computer displayed information on the Shelter's construction. The entire plan was extremely detailed, from energy layout to personnel configuration and functional area division, all meticulously arranged.

The benefit of having many talented individuals was already becoming apparent. In every industry, there were professional personnel, and for anything to be done, there was relatively mature technology and experience.

Among all projects, the seawater desalination plant and the water diversion project were prioritized. After Tian Ming completed the defensive wall, the plan issued by the Comprehensive Management Department underwent a major adjustment. The overall projects didn't change much, but the layout was completely revised.

A complete industrial system needed to be established here. Solving energy, food, and water issues was the top priority, especially for production water, which required a huge amount.

Throughout that night, Tian Ming's office was brightly lit. He needed to go through all the pending work he had accumulated. It wasn't until dawn the next day, when the sun rose from the east, that he stretched.

First, the seawater desalination plant was to be built, located on the sea-facing side of the defensive wall. It was mainly divided into three plant areas. Seawater desalination methods included distillation, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, etc. Each plant area would have different desalination methods, each with its pros and cons, requiring combined use.

Reverse osmosis technology has the advantage of better water quality, no pollution, and more power efficiency, but its disadvantage is the need for high-pressure pumps, which consume a lot of energy.

Electrodialysis technology has the advantage of directly using seawater as raw water, without needing distillation, and is more power efficient, but its disadvantage is lower water quality, requiring further treatment.

Distillation technology has the advantage of adapting to different water qualities and producing high-quality water, but its disadvantage is consuming a large amount of energy and having higher operating costs.

Since both advantages and disadvantages exist, they need to be used in combination to achieve the best desalination effect. At the same time, to ensure water supply safety, each plant area needs to be equipped with corresponding emergency treatment equipment.

Tian Ming didn't waste words. If he could build a defensive wall over six hundred kilometers long, building a plant area, though a bit more complex, would just take him more time.

Upon receiving the design drawings for the plant area, Tian Ming, working with the technical personnel, once again demonstrated his rapid construction ability.

In terms of plant construction, factors such as moisture-proofing, shock-proofing, and dust-proofing needed to be considered, along with energy-saving requirements. Therefore, a professional team of engineers was needed to guide Tian Ming.

This team of engineers was quite excited to hear that the boss would be collaborating. Tian Ming's speed was incredibly fast; in less than half a day, the desalination plant area rose from the ground.

The plant area was built on the surface, entirely using dome-shaped shells, primarily steel truss structures, which were strong and lightweight. They also used an arched, eggshell-like design for excellent lighting.

Under the guidance of the engineers, Tian Ming constructed the internal layout design. As for the equipment, those with drawings were manufactured on-site according to the drawings, and the main equipment was directly produced under Tian Ming's reorganization.

Around the seawater desalination plant area, Tian Ming also built three water storage tanks, mainly for storing purified fresh water.

This fresh water could be used for daily drinking, washing, industrial production, agricultural irrigation, and other purposes. At the same time, to ensure water storage safety, the engineers designed a series of purification facilities, including filtration, disinfection, and other treatment steps.

Seawater desalination produces high-concentration brine, which contains various chemical substances and metal ions, such as magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, and so on.

These can be used as raw materials for producing other things. The discarded brine is directly dried until it becomes solid and stored for future use as raw material.

It took two days for a seawater desalination plant to be fully completed. On the sea-facing side of the defensive wall, three plant areas stood in a tripod formation, each equipped with different desalination technologies, each with its unique strengths.

Next was the water diversion project, which was also a major undertaking. Because seawater is corrosive, the pipes for transporting seawater required special materials to prevent corrosion.

The engineers provided a high-molecular polymer as the material for manufacturing the pipes. The water diversion pipeline was underground. The pipe material, directly in contact with seawater, was a high-molecular polymer, with high-strength steel at the center, Graphene on the outside, and ceramic as the outermost layer.

The determined water diversion route would pass under Donghai City, directly to the deep-water port. The pipeline was nearly one hundred kilometers long, located one hundred meters underground. The pipe had a large diameter, almost three meters, for easy cleaning later.

Tian Ming used his illusory skill to descend deep underground, then had his Nanometer Avatar provide visual positioning on the surface.

As for the pipes, they could be directly manufactured from elements in the soil. Building pipes was much simpler than building a desalination plant. It only took a day and a half to connect over a hundred kilometers to the sea.

To resist strong currents and prevent rocks from blocking the pipeline at the seabed, Tian Ming extended the pipeline for more than ten kilometers after entering the sea and specifically made the pipe opening a trumpet-shaped downward slope.

Moreover, he leveled the entire seabed at the intake point for hundreds of meters and constructed three underwater walls to block potential blockages.

There was a small fusion power station at Dongshan Base. Tian Ming flew directly to Dongshan Base without stopping. His control radius now reached a hundred meters, so he replicated the entire core unit of the fusion power station as a sample.

Upon returning to the Shelter, he immediately began construction one kilometer inland from the seawater purification plant.

The small fusion power stations did not have very high power. Tian Ming directly built three of them. It took a full week. He originally wanted to build a few more, but there weren't enough technical personnel to manage them, so Tian Ming gave up.

The water and energy problems took half a month. The people in the Shelter noticed that their boss had changed; he became less talkative and just buried himself in work.

If the people within the Shelter had to build the seawater desalination plant, the Shelter's sewage treatment system, and the small fusion power stations themselves, it would take at least one or two years or even longer.

However, with Tian Ming, who could control all things, on the job, in just half a month, they were already entering the pre-commissioning phase.

Everything was too fast, so fast that it was somewhat unbelievable.

Tian Ming was engrossed in work, and only a small number of people knew the real reason. But Tian Ming's actions brought hope to the common people in the Shelter. And everyone in the Shelter witnessed this miraculous construction speed.

If it weren't for the need to understand the building structure and review the design drawings, it wouldn't even take half a month. Most of this half-month was spent listening to engineers explain, building once he understood, and then modifying some non-compliant parts after construction.
