Chapter 439 Name
In the evening, the sunlight that was about to set was shining through the wind and sand above the horizon, illuminating the campsite that had been busy for a day.
The rare Sand Ninjas who finished work early gathered around the Central Plaza. The civilians of the Wind Kingdom who had not had time to return nearby also stood aside and watched the fun with interest.
At the four corners of the camp, there are iron pillars dozens of meters long, and the tops are decorated with huge light boxes.
The venue has been arranged in the center of the venue, nearly ten meters high platform, and this height not only highlights the people above, but also seems too far away to see clearly.
Such an appearance should have appeared at Gaara's inauguration ceremony for the Five Dynasties. Unfortunately, Gaara can only use it on such occasions.
Although Daimaru is the founder of this place, the focus today is Gaara.
I originally planned to say something, but Gaara thought about it for a long time for this opportunity to show her face openly.
When things came to an end, looking at the faces below, the boy who had realized something instantly realized that what everyone was looking forward to was not what they would say.
Passionate praise, promise, compliment or win over?
Nothing is important, just standing here is enough. What is left is the result of everyone working hard for so long.
After being serious, he lifted up the hat, held it in his hand and waved it. The subordinates below had already prepared a long time ago opened the pool covered with curtains.
In the amazement of everyone, a water tower with a cylindrical top and a water pipe connected to the underground reservoir at the bottom slowly rose from the ground.
The sun disappeared among the mountains in the distance, and the light boxes at high places were opened, illuminating the entire camp.
Strictly speaking, start-up camps actually don’t have much electricity consumption, and they are just for self-use and public lighting. Even small-scale power stations are enough.
As for the water tower, what is exposed outside is only for everyone to watch and use for water withdrawal, and most of the fresh water is stored underground.
Not long ago, Gaara, who stood in front of the reservoir and sighed, once asked:
"How many people can drink from this desalination plant? "
Daimaru doesn't know how to answer this topic to be accurate, so he can only make a reluctant comparison:
"According to the current consumption in the Sand Village, this place can meet nearly one-quarter of the cost of the entire village, but according to my estimate, it may not be that much, and it should be 30% off to 20% off..."
"Why?"
Daimaru explained:
"If it is just to maintain human survival, like in the village, it saves some money and can feed one-fifth of the people. However, here, the caravans coming and going need to replenish fresh water and food, and need to meet the drinking needs of livestock; in addition, if there is agricultural irrigation, green plants, and industrial water demand, fresh water consumption will soar instantly..."
It is not clear how scary the demand for agricultural water use, especially rice planting, is. If there are industrial projects with large amounts of water use, the consumption is even more shocking.
Fortunately, the Wind Country has no agricultural foundation; greening and other things cannot be put on the agenda for a while, and the Sand Ninja has not been so luxurious that it can use precious fresh water to water flowers and plant trees; industrial projects that consume water and energy are not suitable for building here at all.
In short, the current camps no longer need to spend a lot of money to transport freshwater from other places to replenish them, but can instead exist as an important supply point.
As long as you want to travel from the Southern Continent to the Kingdom of Wind and Fire, it is impossible to bypass this place.
The outsiders who were observing outside were also quite happy. With this place that could provide fresh water supply, the residents of the surrounding Wind Country have had much better life.
Merchants traveling from south to north no longer have to endure the anxious traffic lines of the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Grass and the bandits and bandits.
No one walked here before because it was too difficult to develop Sichuan Country in the south. Most of the prosperous places in the Wind Country are concentrated in the north and northwest. There is not even a decent port on the south coast, so there is really no road.
In order to thank everyone for their efforts, the Central Water Tower opened its unlimited supply of fresh water for three days before, and after three days, you have to spend money to buy water.
Daimaru has worked hard to support such a large venue, not for charity.
Even if seawater desalination plants and power stations can provide unlimited hydropower resources, the permanent population can support it several times, and Damaru does not intend to sell it too cheaply.
I have to hold on for a while until now, and I will "get back a mouthful of blood" first. Besides, the residents of Fengzhi Kingdom have become accustomed to the days of lack of water, and my mind is deeply imprinted with the impression that drinking water should not be cheap.
Even so, the water price set by Damaru is much more cost-effective than transporting from outside.
In a word, if you are a business, you should buy it but not buy it. If you have the ability, don’t come. “Monopoly state-owned assets” is so domineering.
As for electricity, it is really cheap. Anyway, electricity production is seriously oversupply. Apart from public facilities and hotels where wealthy businesses live, there are basically no lighting with electric lights.
People cannot ignore water, but electricity is not a must for survival and can be used. Most villagers in the Wind Kingdom should try not to use it.
"After all, I'm too poor!"
After the brief and sloppy ceremony, Gaara and Daimaru avoided the crowd and looked at the lively scene in front of them that seemed to be celebrating the festival, and sighed.
Although most people's attention is not focused on themselves, Gaara doesn't care much, as it was expected.
"It's just now that the foundation has been officially laid. In the past, it was like a mirror and a water moon. Although it was lively, everyone was worried whether it would disappear overnight."
People who have never been "thirsty" can hardly understand the joy of the Saurian Ninjas. Even Damaru is in the Hidden Village of Saurian, and he still has a father who is a ninja, which has laid some foundation for his family. Although it is difficult, he has no worries about food and clothing.
Although he could not immerse himself in it, Damaru was not a person with a sarcastic heart. The stone in his heart fell to the ground. Damaru, who felt that it was pretty good, asked with interest:
"Gaara, I have established a firm settlement. Since it is semi-open to the outside world, I must have a formal name! What do you think you want?"
"name?"
Gaara, I pondered for a while and replied,
"Just call it 'Awaji', Awaji Village, Awaji Town, I'm looking forward to its future..."
"It's really straightforward..."
