#89: Umbrella
“Ok..this is going to be easy” Shelby said. “All we need is a permeable membrane that covers the whole island and passes air but not water.”
“No problem there” Chad replied “I can design a Graphene mesh that’ll do that.’
“One more thing “ Shelby said “The mesh needs to be physically designed such that....”
“It can float” Chad said “Temperature gradient differential...”
“Light Emitting Woven Fabric...” Shelby muttered...”under the dome.”
“Inverse of that....PhotoElectric Woven into the top” Chad proclaimed.
The Maggi were in full cry...
One day, with no warning...it STOPPED raining on the island. Everyone in Flint Island looked around in wonder. It was very odd. There appeared to be a roof over the whole island that kept the rain away.
“Yes Shelby?” Kamiko replied to the ArcMage’s query.
“Mission accomplished” Shelby replied. “Roof job is done”
“No more rain?” she asked.
“No more rain.” he replied.
“One more thing.” Shelby said.
“What’s that dear?” Kamiko asked.
“Bonus. Unlimited, pure filtered water for drinking, cooking and other purposes.” he said. “that further secures tier one.”
“No more water bill?” she asked
“Nope...no more electric bill either. The dome is covered with photocells on the outside. Full Spectrum...clouds don’t matter.” he grinned.
“Very GOOD” Kamiko purred in relief. She hadn’t told anyone but her finances were nearing the breaking point.
They were saved.
