I can upgrade the shelter

Adding fresh water and expanding the capacity of the water tank was like timely help for Chen Xin, solving his urgent needs.

With a water pump now available to extract groundwater, Chen Xin clearly doesn’t have to be as tight-fisted with water as before.

Previously, although there were three tons of freshwater and a water recycling system that could purify wastewater and reclaim moisture from the air, the shelter wasn’t a space station in space. It couldn’t be completely sealed, so the efficiency of the water recycling system naturally wasn’t 100%. In fact, achieving a 90% water recycling efficiency was already considered highly impressive.

But even so, losing 10% in each cycle meant that three tons of water wouldn’t last very long. According to the statistics of urban water usage in the Flame Country, under normal circumstances, one person would use 130-300 liters of water a day, averaging about 4 to 10 tons a month.

And this isn’t even accounting for the water consumption in the greenhouse for irrigation.

Factoring in the evaporation of moisture from the ventilation system and the water consumption for the greenhouse plants, managing to last a month before encountering a water shortage was already considered extremely frugal by Chen Xin.

However, with the new water pump and the large tank capable of holding eight tons of water, Chen Xin could somewhat loosen his water conservation efforts. He no longer had to live like an astronaut on a space station, only wiping his face with a damp towel to wash, and having to turn off the tap immediately after wetting himself and using soap in the shower.

This easing of water restrictions was indeed a significant improvement in living conditions for Chen Xin.
