And I dont know why you would even attempt to mock that figure. Ancient Roman concrete has already lasted that long. By combining their basic recipe with modern bunker grade concrete techniques & modern controls we CAN do much better.

And in all your seconds of research did ChatGPT tell you that tinted concrete usually needs to be trained and sealed every couple years even when it's not sitting underwater getting calcium/salt/whatever build up on it? Good luck with that.

Your argument refers to film-forming sealers used on decorative or architectural surfaces, not to an engineered composite meant for submersion or semi-permanent mineral exposure.
My design uses ion-binding SCMs that tie up chloride and sulfate ions, plus the overall chemistry is closer to the Roman marine model (C-A-S-H gels with pozzolanic ash) than to modern Portland paste.
That means mineral crusting or scaling will occur on sacrificial surface crystals, not as internal damage requiring re-sealing.
In other words, your criticism is not valid for this type of concrete.

Instead of degrading my design improves over time. Early-age hydration densifies pore walls. Later, atmospheric CO₂ and minor silica dissolution polymerize the surface further, forming a ceramic patina. That patina is self-limiting and self-protecting — not something you re-seal every few years.

Yes. It will cost a lot. Over $500M. But over the life of the facility you stand to make over 8000% profit. That is not even counting the value of the food you can grow with all that water and potash fertilizer.
The facility would pay for itself in 25.1yrs.
That is a better investment than current desalinators or potash, strontium, lithium or salt production methods.

You are declaring the horse dead before even seeing the horse simply because you dont like the horse owner.
You really dont mind getting egg on your face do you? I think you like it in fact.

The fact that this dead horse requires a Luxembourg, or two Hong Kongs, of black concrete in a desert before the salt water hits it is…well…not quite feasible outside of imagination
You could try conducting the same experiment, only on a much smaller scale, off the Southern coast of The Big Island of Hawaii. Black rock, already heated without the sun, all the saline you can want making its way right up to said black rock and you're not in the middle of a desert
Now, who owns the rights to the salt water, geothermals, wind, moon and sun?
