Chapter 742
The rumors about Perficote and the royal family are just a small episode. Whether it is for the royal family or Perficote, what is more important is how to carry out post-disaster reconstruction work and let the Northern Territory Recover from the blow of the blizzard.
This is not an easy job.
The damage caused by this white disaster was unprecedented. Almost all transportation in the northern border was seriously affected. All railways were stuck during the blizzard and airships could not fly. , the impact and losses this has on the North is immeasurable.
Many settlements in the north rely entirely on external inputs to maintain normal operation. Once traffic is cut off and external inputs are interrupted, they can easily fall to the brink of collapse.
This is why Perficot sent people to relocate remote settlements after the weather controller started to operate.
Staying them will only cause them to collapse in this snow and snow, and ultimately let all those living there die.
It is also because of this that when the blizzard stopped, both the northern border and the cabinet mobilized their strength to restore traffic as soon as possible.
This is not an easy job, or it is difficult from the beginning.
The snow caused by the blizzard is several meters deep, and it is almost impossible to clean the snow.
Even though Perficote and the cabinet sent Steam Knights and various self-disciplined robots to participate in the cleaning work, it was still difficult for them to clean up the accumulated snow.
Some people even suggested that instead of shoveling all the snow, it is better to dig holes directly in the snow and may come quickly.
This suggestion has been adopted in limited ways. It is used in some places where snow is severely accumulated and there is no large traffic demand. Some streets choose to take out a passage in the snow, which is extremely important. Reduces the difficulty and workload of cleaning.
The sweeping snow was piled up on the uncleaned snow, making it thicker while also making it stronger.
In order to prevent the passage taken out from collapse due to the weight of the snow itself, people watered the inside of the tunnel to freeze the inner wall of the tunnel, thereby increasing the strength.
Although it is difficult to say that the tunnel excavated in this way is of much strength, it is also a solution to the urgent problem at present.
After all, if you want to clean up, the project volume is too large, so you can temporarily open up traffic, saving a lot of time and manpower.
But major transportation routes such as railway lines cannot do this, after all, even solid ice cannot support large-span caves.
But if it is to be strengthened, the project volume is not less than digging all the snow.
So in the end, the main traffic roads still need to carry out large-scale snow removal work.
For this reason, Perficot had to mobilize the entire Chenoberg population, and everyone was devoted to the work.
The army and the steam knights are responsible for taking large self-disciplined robots to open up those major traffic lanes.
Topfecote set up many towns along the railway, and these towns came in handy at this time. They are not only an important supply node and calibration for the construction team to rush through work, but also an important starting station for sending construction teams. Some machinery and manpower can be transported to these towns through airships, and then set off from these towns and follow the railway to other cities. Start construction in the direction.
This is undoubtedly faster than only constructing from one direction, and can open all roads more efficiently.

"The settlements in the Old Valley can be relocated and abolished. This blizzard has exposed many survival problems in this area. If we want to maintain the operation of the settlements in this area, we At least we have to cross this rift and build another railway. This is a huge investment." Perficot looked at the distribution map of the settlements in the northern border in front of us and told the officials beside him about the plans to adjust and lay off the settlements. . "Yes, Lord Lord, but where are the migrant populations to be allocated and placed? Should they be placed nearby, or..." The official recorded Perficote's order, but was also asking her at the same time. Further arrangements.
Perficote thought for a while and said, "Move the young and strong of them to Chenoberg, and I will have a new project that requires a large number of staff. As for the elderly and weak, please place them nearby. .
As for the proven resources around these abolished settlements, you will summarize and give me a brand new development plan.
These resources are wealth from the North and cannot be wasted. Some of them must be sealed and some must be developed and utilized more properly. "
"Yes, Lord Lord. "The officials all bowed and devoted themselves more hard to the adjustment plan for settlements.
Although Perficote had adjusted a wave of settlements before, it was just Emergency measures in the snow disaster.
After the blizzard passed, the situation was much worse than expected after the disaster situation in various places was summarized.
Even Perficote had to admit that The development of the northern border in recent years has really exceeded her expectations, and the construction of settlements is much more than she originally designed.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Of course there is no problem with this. After all, a large settlement also means a large population, various resources can be developed more effectively, and the construction of the North can also achieve more favorable development.
But this also brings a problem. Not all settlements will consider their own location, surrounding resources, and various other factors at the beginning of construction.
This has led to the location of many settlements being very 'distant', deviating from the main railway transportation lines, deviating from the airship patrol channel, and even away from the main towns.
Perficote could understand this situation. After all, good locations have settlements planned in advance. Later people who want to own a piece of their own territory can only go to a more remote place. develop.
In addition, many of the indigenous people in the north still do not like the empire. Although they surrendered to Perficot, they still chose to live far away from the empires, so that they could maintain their unique culture and living habits.
Even these people rejected the construction of railways in the northern border to their settlements, and were only willing to accept visits from regular caravans.
This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is of course that it retains the traditional culture of the local indigenous people, develops resources from remote areas, etc., but the disadvantages are also obvious.
These places are inconvenient transportation and relatively scarce. Although some resources have been developed, their own mining capabilities are limited and many resources cannot be effectively developed.
So Perficote needs to adjust various issues, and while ensuring that the North can recover from previous disasters, it is also ready for her future plans.
