Unknowingly, several people were talking and waiting for the arrival of the desalination ship.
Woo woo woo...
A sound of whistle attracted the attention of everyone at the pier.
"Here it comes!" Zhu Jianguo said, looking at the desalination ship in the distance.
Raff and Lange are also looking forward to it.
The desalination ship was transformed from a 10-ton container ship. Dongyin Water Group has built a total of 6 such desalination ships.
A barge quickly approached the desalination ship. After all, the sea area near this dock was not a waterway before, although the water depth allowed 200,000-ton ships to pass through.
But the waters off the east coast of Queensland are the famous Great Barrier Reef, where the coral reefs are very dense.
Out of caution, Oceania Water Company sent a barge to guide the desalination ship to the shore.
Woo woo woo...
As the whistle ended, the desalination ship, guided by the barge, slowly docked next to the temporary dock.
The desalination ship quickly anchored and shut down the steam turbine, while the staff at the temporary dock also quickly cooperated with the desalination ship to dock.
"Pipeline construction department, prepare the pipeline as soon as possible."
The staff at the dock quickly connected some water pipelines prepared in advance to the desalination ship.
This water pipeline connects the desalination ship to a temporary reservoir near the dock.
"Connect the power supply."
"receive."
Raf looked at the fast-moving Dongyin staff and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your efficiency is so fast, no wonder you can accomplish so many achievements."
"Time is money. If you are slow, you don't need to make money." Zhu Jianguo spread his hands and replied.
Since the power supply equipment had been prepared in advance, everything was ready after more than an hour.
"Mr. Raff and Mr. Lange, let's go up together to see if the water supply is normal!" Zhu Jianguo suggested.
"OK."
A group of people boarded a desalination boat.
"Mr. Zhu, we can produce fresh water now," the staff said to a group of people.
The staff pressed the switch, and the desalination equipment inside the desalination ship quickly started running. To the side of the sea outside, three water pumps quickly pumped seawater into the ship.
Soon the ship docked on the side of the pier, and there was some gurgling sound from the water pipeline. Gradually, the sound of the water became louder and louder, as if it was like a surging river.
At the same time, there are several large trucks carrying earthwork on the dock, but now they are not here to carry earthwork, but to carry filtered sodium chloride and the like.
"Mr. Lange, you'd better find a way to deal with these filtered sea salts, otherwise it may cause environmental pollution." Zhu Jianguo reminded.
"Mr. Zhu, I wonder how these things are handled in your country?" Langer asked curiously.
"Part of it is sold to chemical plants as raw materials, and part of it is used as raw materials for foam cement." Zhu Jianguo replied.
"Foam cement is made from these filtered sea salts?" Langer was very surprised.
They have seen the power of foam cement these days, but they did not expect that this kind of thing is actually made of sea salt.
"It's just one of the raw materials." Zhu Jianguo was not afraid that they would know that even if he listed all the raw materials, they would not be able to imitate them. The process involved in foam cement is completely different from that of ordinary cement.
"I see."
Lange didn't ask any more questions. After all, he was very self-aware. Even if he knew the raw materials, the formula and process were definitely top secrets of the Galaxy Consortium, and he didn't want to bring trouble on himself.
"Let's go to the temporary reservoir and have a look!" Zhu Jianguo suggested.
"Can."
"ok."
"You go ahead! Haifeng and I will discuss the wind power station." Fang Ping had no interest in seeing the reservoir. He almost vomited after seeing it at home.
"Then you discuss it and let's go!"
After speaking, Zhu Jianguo took Rafe, Lange and others to the temporary reservoir.
Three electric pickup trucks produced by Pengpai Power were laid on the simple road along the foam cement and went directly to the temporary reservoir about 6 kilometers away.
Although it is said to be a temporary reservoir, with the addition of foam cement, this temporary reservoir transformed from a valley is very large and can hold 1.6 million cubic meters of fresh water.
Zhu Jianguo and others' pickup truck drove up to the reservoir dam, and Rafe and Lange quickly got out of the car.
At this time, the water pipeline connected by the desalination ship was continuously filling the reservoir with water. Looking at the water level that was about to rise, Rafe was very excited.
"Get a bucket of water and take a look." Zhu Jianguo ordered.
The staff on the side quickly went down and brought up a bucket of water.
Raff and Lange, on the other hand, kept taking pictures with their mobile phones. They thought they were journalists. Raff wrote a tweet with pictures and texts, and then clicked to upload it.
After the bucket of water settled for a while, the three of them took out disposable cups and sang.
"It is indeed fresh water." Lange said happily.
"Great! We want more fresh water." Rafe also said.
What Raff didn't know was that the tweet he just posted immediately aroused huge attention in Turkey and Australia.

"Where is the fresh water supply?" - Cowboys are very busy
"A Cowboy is very busy. There are three temporary desalination plants in Queensland, which should be able to initially relieve Queensland's water supply." - Big Lobster
Although this fresh water will not reach the farm areas of the Great Artesian Basin for a while, this news has raised hopes among all local farmers.
After all, praying to God is unreliable, and the fresh water from the desalination plant is indeed real. Even if the hope is small, it is hope, and it is better than complete despair.
The water pipelines of the Great Dividing Range are operating at full capacity and supplying fresh water to the west side of the Great Dividing Range. Three desalination ships can produce 1.5 million cubic meters of fresh water a day.
Since the east side of the Great Dividing Range is on a windward slope, their reservoirs can still meet daily needs despite drought conditions caused by this year's climate.
Therefore, all the fresh water produced by desalination ships is supplied to the inner 6 areas on the west side of the Great Dividing Range.
The local governments in Tuyao and Macao have also come out to appease the people and ask them to be patient for the time being. In the future, when the desalination plant is completed, there will be no need to restrict water.
The local and Australian media, who have always liked the black Dongtang, had to consider the impact and wrote some more pleasant news reports. Although doing so made them very disgusting, both the official and the private sector supported this matter, so they could only hold their noses and admit it.
about this.
For the sake of future water safety, Tu’ao and Macao officials also secretly warned some media to prevent these guys from coming out to cause trouble. If they do, they have to wait until later.
