Chapter 2744: Progress of Linshui Village Reconstruction, Zi Lai Shui Chang
As time drew closer to the end of the month, apart from Xia Duo's own progress in the study of Order Force, the reconstruction work of Linshui Village was also proceeding in an orderly manner.
Currently, the construction of the Government Hall on the south side of Code Plaza has been completed; in fact, this was the first part of the reconstruction project to be finished. The new Government Hall has a solemn and elegant appearance, composed of three blocks—one large and two small—resembling the Chinese character for "mountain."
Relevant personnel have already moved in to work, and Xia Duo has also been over to look twice. Aside from the interior decoration still being a bit lacking, everything else is already on the right track.
Besides the Government Hall, a small commercial area located to the northeast, right next to Code Plaza, has been built relatively quickly. This is mainly out of consideration for the fact that after Linshui Village is completely demolished, the original shops and entertainment venues will have nowhere to go.
On the north side of Code Plaza, along the Daxia-Savile Passage heading north, there is another street-side commercial area, but the local residents of Linshui Village are still more accustomed to consuming in the shops they were familiar with in the past.
That commercial area to the north receives more tourists from Savile Territory.
……
Currently, the Territory is rushing to build the road system for the new Linshui Town, which also includes the sewer section that previously caused the reconstruction project to halt.
Once the road system is completed, it will skip the Court, garden, Security Office, Hospital, and School in the middle, and first build the residential area in the south, so that the relocated residents can have their own true homes as soon as possible.
A Canteen was left out of this, which is mainly because the Canteen was considered to have started construction even before the Government Hall, but it was more of a temporary version built on the planned Canteen site.
So I decided to look at the Territory a little less after going to Yierlan to keep my appointment; today, what I am inspecting is the Zi Lai Shui Chang in the Territory's workshop area, a water plant I designed myself.
Therefore, the water in the entire water supply system is actually a mixed state of materialized water and Element Water. Water in that state is not easy to freeze, just like the water in the Elemental Fountain pool; even in such freezing cold weather, it still hasn't frozen.
And the Magic Affairs Officer's answer that followed also proved Xia Shao's guess: that the only activated Water Source was for supplying water to the workshop area.
That is why Xia Shao designed something called a 【Water Source】. The six transparent containers in that building are the Water Sources; once activated, the interior will rapidly fill with Element Water in a Critical State.
The above-ground part of the water plant has no complex mechanism; it is also six devices, the interior filled with Magic Glue material, with a pipe extending from one end. The Element Water from the 【Water Source】 above is transmitted directly to that device, and then flows to the terminal through water pipes.
Although I designed the water plant, I did not take on the specific wiring outside the water plant, but left it to the people sent by Laidun to be responsible for.
But considering the difference in taste and the accidents that might occur during the conversion process, Xia Shao still added a layer of insurance at the terminal.
Now it seems that Laidun is not someone who pays so much attention to superficial forms after all; I estimate he wants to wait until the Public Zone is all built before starting the water supply.
"Good morning, are there only the two of you?" Xia Shao asked casually.
Xia Shao briefly checked the operation of the water supply system; at least there were no problems with the normal use on the workshop area side, which shows that the people from the Territory Development Department were very diligent and meticulous in laying the pipes.
That afternoon, Xia Shao unexpectedly did not enter the Laboratory, but came to the Territory, mainly because the Midwinter Festival was coming soon, and the research on Order Force could not be said to be in a bottleneck, but at least there could not be any major breakthroughs in the short term.
But even if it was a temporary version, it was much tidier and more imposing than the original Territory Canteen.
Speaking of which, this Water Source is also a work Xia Shao is proud of; if it weren't for the winter, I might not have thought of such a clever design idea.
Yesterday Xia Shao received news that the water plant had been completed; coming today was not entirely a whim, as I am also quite interested in the Zi Lai Shui Chang I designed.
Of course, this was also a guess Xia Shao made seeing that only one Water Source was activated at the water plant; if two had been activated, the workshop area certainly wouldn't need that much, and the other might be for supplying the Government Hall.
The construction was completed by Second-stage Quasi-low-level Mages from the Tower of Time, which counts as extracurricular practice during training and does not occupy the manpower of the Territory Development Department.
I have an impression of these two Magic Affairs Officers; I vaguely remember that in the recent ratings by the Tower of Time's Personnel Department, both of them were only rated at Level 2. If they were Level 4, they would be busy preparing for the Intermediate Assessment right now.
The main function of the device is only to receive Element Water and pressurize the pipeline. For daily maintenance, there will be additional monitoring indicators, including the 【Water Source】 above; as long as the corresponding indicator reaches the critical point, it is directly replaced with a new one.
Xia Shao came before the container full of water; because it is a fully transparent design, it looks like a cube of Crystal as tall as a person, and no traces of water flow can be seen inside.
It is then transmitted to the main underground pipeline through the Elemental Magic Array at the bottom. During this process, the Element Water will gradually be converted into materialized pure water.
"There are only the two of us on routine duty in this water plant now, does the Lord need us to arrange a tour?"
It is freezing cold in winter, and this winter is even colder than usual; even flowing rivers would freeze, so under such circumstances, one can imagine what the water in the water pipes would be like!
The replaced old devices can be maintained and repaired before continuing to be used, or they can be directly recycled and reused.
Of course, there will be no side effects for ordinary people drinking Element Water. After entering the human body, Element Water will convert into ordinary water at a faster speed than in the water pipes.
And under the dome, the most eye-catching things are the neatly arranged six transparent cube containers as tall as a person, three in a row, arranged in two rows.
Entering the interior of the building, the first thing one notices is the high dome of the building itself; such a flat, high dome cannot be achieved without the participation of Magic.
Next, Xia Shao also visited the underground pipeline part of the water plant. Each 【Water Source】 corresponds to a branching water supply system, and this part has a relatively large difference from the water supply systems on Earth.
By the time it is released from the water faucet at the terminal, the vast majority of Element Water has already been converted into materialized pure water. In fact, to ensure that what flows out is not Element Water, the water faucet has also been specially designed.
"This Water Source is for supplying the workshop area, right?" Xia Shao asked.
Currently, only the workshop area in the planned Linshui Town has been put into use. The water supply for the Government Hall side goes through the Public Zone system, and other parts of the Public Zone haven't been built yet, so it shouldn't be that they would supply water separately just for one Government Hall.
"Lord Territory Lord, good morning."
……
Walking leisurely to the Zi Lai Shui Chang in the northwest corner of the workshop area, Xia Shao did not see the figures of any Quasi-high-level Mages, but he was not surprised. Just after entering the gate of the water plant, two Magic Affairs Officers responsible for guarding immediately walked out from inside.
"Let's take a look!"
Only one of the six containers was filled with water, while the others were empty.
In Magic Vision, all six containers, including the five empty ones, emitted a faint Magic Aura, especially the container filled with Element Water, which had an even more abundant aura.
The entire water plant was designed by Xia Shao. If it comes to familiarity, I am actually more familiar with it than those two people, and without needing them to lead the way, Xia Shao walked straight toward a square building in the center of the water plant.
