"They're done and ready to send," Tony said, opening up all the files so that the different designs spilled out around him. "I think you'll be very pleased.
"All structures are completely automated with a thoroughly integrated, holographic computer system that regulates every aspect, including the flow of energy, in and out. I've adapted StarkTech solar converters to be used on a much larger scale so that no central utility stations will be needed - you'll be able to operate independent of power grids, etcetera.
"Sunlight will be the primary source of illumination, with fiber-optic tubes acting as dimmers to prevent rooms from getting too bright, as per preference. At night, these same tubes will beam a single light source throughout to maintain luminescence.
"Water will be collected from the atmosphere and stored in a closed system, where it will be purified and recirculated, so that no outside water sources will be needed. Two key features of the architecture will be glass and integrated plant life. Each structure will need to have a mostly open, yet tint-able facade to enable the absorption of solar energy, and to maximize the benefits of said option, atriums filled with oxygen-rich plant-life will be included to increase the health value of personal airspace."
He saved the best for last. "As for field irrigation, we'll be implementing a drip-irrigation system, which will reduce energy and water consumption, deter plant disease, and prevent sediment erosion. Sensors will allow the user to monitor the water storage capacity, temperature, and other soil variables below the surface of the ground. Crop burning will significantly reduce, since water will be evenly distributed into the ground instead of collecting on the leaves. Evaporation of excess water into the atmosphere will be held at a minimum, reducing the overall volume of water that is required to be pumped.
"You'll be saving nearly $400 per five acres of field, not to mention thirty-eight man hours of labor, and 4,640 kWh of power."
