<h4>Chapter 664: We don’t n to sell</h4>


    Jean provided aplete desalination design to Jiang Chen.


    Based on the actual conditions of Xin, Jiang Chen ultimately chose a mixed energy source desalination design. He assigned the unsophisticated parts to be manufactured by the factories in New Mysia Special District, the more advance parts to be produced by the technology industrial park located on Ange Ind.


    While the name of the park is technology industrial park, only Future Heavy Industries’ factory is located there – the service robot assembling factory. A total of 400,000 “Xiao Lin” per month would step off the assembly line, be transported to port, and sold to the rest of the world.


    Currently, a new assembly line was added to the ntbined with the industrial 3D printer Jiang Chen brought back from the apocalypse to produce core desalination equipment parts.


    All the finished parts would be transported to the region east of Coro Ind and assembled by the amphibious construction robots.


    Different from Peni’s construction project, the assembly was not disclosed to the public. Due to its small scale, it was not until the entire assembly waspleted did the device float up and was hauled by a vessel to one hundred meters away from Coro Ind’s coast for docking…


    …


    Noon. A sunny and cloudless sky.


    The leaves of the coconut trees swayed and cast its shadow. Washington Post’s journalist Jim Calvin was resting rxingly on the beach at the east coast of Coro Ind, enjoying his rare vacation.


    The ind was always filled with countless amount of news, and the people of Washington surprisingly were intrigued by the small ind. Any reports put on the front page of the newspaper about Peni would garner addition sales. Or rather, people purchased newspaper for the sake of seeing if Future Group created something new.


    When Jim finished writing a spective piece of Peni and sent to the headquarters, he also received an email stating his promotion. His manager wanted him to return to the headquarters to take on the role of chief editor. When Jim heard the news, he opened five bottles of champagne in joy.


    There was still five days left before he started in Washington again. He nned to use this time to rx and recharge.


    The tropical weather almost made people drowsy. Just as he was about to take nap in front of the steamy sea, shouting from the distance dispersed any of his weariness.


    “Jim, get up, there is something on the sea!” Just then, his girlfriend in bikini came running, put the shaved ice she just bought on the table, and woke him up by shaking on his arms.


    “What is it? Wait, are you sure you didn’t just see a mirage?” While he didn’t sound pleased, he still got up, and allowed his excited girlfriend to drag him onto the sandy hill not far away.


    His reporter instinct told him that something incredible just happened on the sea.


    The truth soon proved his spection.


    They only ran halfway before a pitch ck shadow surfaced on the sea.


    A metal floating ind hauled by four vessels stopped at a distance not far away from the beach.


    Jim gradually slowed down. While still holding his girlfriend’s hand, he stared at the sea nkly.


    Words of amazement of differentnguages flowed into his ears…


    “Dad, what is that?”


    “This is incredible! My phone, honey, where is my phone? I’m going to upload it on YouTube! Oh, sh*t, it is in my hand…”


    “I can bet you it must be Future Group again!”


    “No rush, dear, maybe we can purchase tickets and go sunbath up there. Remember to wear your new swimsuit…”


    “…”


    Suddenly, the shouts from the crowd woke the dumbfounded Jim and his girlfriend up. The surface of the metal ind began to expand, the airbags in the middle began to inte, and the tubes located in the water started to submerge.


    “Jim, what is that?” Jenny holding onto her boyfriend’s hand asked in disbelief.


    Just then, her boyfriend who always treated her nice forced his hand out of hers.


    “Phone… Dammit! Phone and camera are all in the bag! Wait for me here, Jenny, I will be back!”


    Looking at his girlfriend’s shocked look, Jim shouted and dashed to the baggage storage…


    But Jim didn’t end up filming the deployment of the giant.


    Under everyone’s watch, the basketball court sized ind expanded into the size of a football field.


    The rectangr design looked like the offshore rig used for oil and gas, the only difference was the unscientific size and the hundreds of graphene pipelines on its surface.


    Surrounding the metal ind was stacks of floating pipelines. The pipelines directly extended into the bottom of the ocean and acted as the seawater collection unit for the desalination unit. They would crudely filter the collected seawater and sent the product through the graphene pipeline to the distition equipment in the middle; the treated water would then be fed out through the outlet at the bottom of the tform.


    The left connection could be connected to power units for electricity and the equipment would only be operational once powered. The modr design meant that whether fire power or sr power, they could all be used to power the unit.


    The most critical aspect was the desalination equipment can be moved. If the current position was non-ideal or there was a typhoon warning, as long as the graphene cables connected to the bottom of the ocean floor were retracted, the major modules were taken apart, equipment could be hauled elsewhere for redeployment.


    Once the pipeline fromnd connected with the equipment, the “seawater desalination tform” could continuously feed the residents on ground fresh water.


    The desalination tform naturally would not be deployed in the tourism area. The reason it was deployed here was for an advertisement of the new equipment.


    “This is astonishing.” On top of the Future Building, Yerif through binocrs gazed at the desalination tform and could not stop smiling.


    He originally nned to send his assistant, but because of the importance of this project, he personally made the trip to Coro Ind.


    “We’ll see a lot of simrments on newspapers tomorrow.” Beside him, Jiang Chen smiled. “So why don’t we discuss something more interesting.”


    “How much do you n to sell that tform for?” Yerif’s eyes were stuck in the binocrs as he said without turning his head.


    “We don’t n to sell.” Jiang Chen shook his head.


    Yerif finally moved his eyes off of the binocrs and looked at Jiang Chen, puzzled.


    “Didn’t we agree?” Jiang Chen smiled. “We’ll provide you fresh water at a cost of 1 US dor per ton.”


    Compared with one and done type of deals, Jiang Chen liked long term business more. If Future Group controlled Saudi’s hydro, they would not only gain financial benefits.


    Everyone depended on freshwater, especially people in the deserts.


    Once Future Group used the cheaper water to bankrupt other desalination nts, Future Group, with control of desalination nts, would control the lifeline of water shortage countries.


    By then, all the countries in the Gulf and along the coast of the Red Sea would depend on Future Group’s water. By that time, they would hail Future Group as their king!
