Chapter 58 Alternative Location of the Shelter
With inspiration and ideas, Purficott quickly came up with design ideas for the dungeon.
But this is just a rough idea. It is not an easy task to actually design an underground city that can accommodate thousands of people without causing problems.
At least how to satisfy so many people using water to make fire is a problem that requires very careful design.
You must know that in this era, even big cities like Langton City did not have universal tap water. Water in most urban areas was supplied to nearby streets or water points in residential areas through water supply stations in the neighborhoods.
Residents living in the local area must collect water at regular times and points every day. If the family has a large number of people or uses a lot of water, they must learn to store water and save water.
In addition, this era has no concept of drinking water hygiene. It is normal for diseases to spread along rivers, sewers and even water supply pipelines.
Want to design a dungeon that is reliable enough? It's not just about digging trenches.
So Purficott did not spend too much time on the underground city project. After all, it was just an idea.
She still spent more time looking for suitable places to build shelters, and tried her best to use the exploration company's data to analyze which places were suitable for building shelters, and when the shelters were repaired. How to maintain operations.
It is indeed not difficult to simply build a shelter, but how to ensure the normal operation of the shelter and meet the various requirements of all residents for food, life, and housing is an extremely difficult task.
At least Purficott felt that his head hurt just thinking about these things.
Fortunately, the information provided by the Imperial Exploration Company was very detailed and provided a lot of help to Perfectcott.
"Your Majesty, after our discussion, a total of fifteen alternative locations have been selected." An exploration team member submitted the results of their discussion to Purficott and explained. : "According to your requirements, these locations have been chosen as close as possible to areas rich in metal mineral deposits and coal resources, and close to the coastline or rivers. Ports and terminals can be built to facilitate material transportation.
In addition , we also specially selected areas where geothermal resources may exist according to your requirements
However, there are relatively few survey companies in this area. We can only choose areas with volcanoes, hot springs or nearby sulfur and volcanic rocks as much as possible.
After layers of screening, these fifteen locations are finally arrived at, please check them out. ”
With that said, the exploration team member handed a compiled document to Purficott.
Taking the document, Purficott began to read it carefully. By the way, he also walked to a map that was spread out and compared it directly to find the location selected by these exploration team members.
While Purficott was looking at the map, a group of people were exploring. The team members were all a bit uneasy and nervous, just like the candidates facing the examiner during the final exam
You must know that this is a super project invested by the royal family. It is difficult for the Imperial Exploration Company to obtain such a project even if it is a royal property. This also makes these exploration team members even though they do not know the truth, they are still mentioned by the company's senior management and asked them to do so. We need to take this project seriously.
But after they confidently selected fifteen target locations that they thought were perfect, they didn't have much confidence.
Because of the previous expulsion of the Royal Guard Knights, many people on the ship were spreading rumors that the Baroness was actually a moody little girl. Her temper is unpredictable and she will get angry for no reason. She will scold you just because you forget to add milk to her coffee, or if you don't greet her with honorifics and honorifics.
Although no one in the exploration team has been scolded by Purficott so far, since the rumors are spreading, most of them still choose to believe them. .
So this also led them to always be careful to avoid offending Perficott when facing her.
Just kidding, a guard knight was driven away because of disrespect for her, let alone a small character like them?
They are all just humble workers, earning a meager remuneration from the company through hard work every month. If they lose this well-paid job, the whole family behind them will be in trouble. It’s hard to make a living.
Purficant naturally didn’t know how the people on the ship spread rumors about her, or that even if they knew, she wouldn’t say anything.
After all, rumors become more popular the more you ban them, and it is impossible to eradicate them.
Even if we use high-pressure policies to suppress it and make way for people to see it, we can't stop the spread.
So Purficott is naturally too lazy to take care of these things. As for the old butler Foster?
He has his own control over these matters. Unless it hurts Purficott's reputation or the reputation of the Brandless family, he will not interfere in these matters.
Compared to Perficott, he understood the spread of rumors better.
However, Purficott was still confused as to why these exploration team members looked nervous, but she did not ask, she just pointed to the point on the map that she had just marked casually and said: "Damn it. These three points in the south are not considered for the time being. They are too far south and the climate environment is not sufficient to simulate the harsh environment of the Arctic Circle.
Of course, you can consider these three places as material transfer stations, and you still have to take a look when passing by. ”
Hearing what Purficott said, the exploration team hurriedly recorded what she said, and someone immediately began to compile relevant information.
Perficott’s fingers continued to move Scratching on the map, every time a point is crossed, a comment will be made: "This point is on an isolated island. Although it is not far from the coastline, the transportation of supplies is inconvenient. Moreover, this is a volcanic island. In case of encountering a volcano, Eruptions or other geological events are dangerous, take them out. "
As she spoke, Purficott drew a cross on this point.
Then she pointed to the northernmost point and said: "This is too close to the North Pole. Although the climate environment is very suitable for building an advanced base for Arctic scientific research, the difficulty of excavation of frozen soil in cold climates also needs to be considered.
Looking for relevant information about this area, I need to know the specific time for the local permafrost to bloom. If the time is too short, it will not be considered here. ”
After evaluating the fifteen points one by one, Purficott finally left only nine positions that she thought were pretty good as candidate positions for this exploration activity.
