Chapter 131 Warehouse Reserve
Under the coordination of Purficott, there were finally no more troubles in the placement of the sick and wounded in the entire camp.
All soldiers suffering from frostbite, colds, typhoid fever, and other injuries were properly accommodated, and Purficott even gave them a few rubs on the spot using some iron materials stored in the warehouse. Stoves allowed them to keep warm in the warehouses where the sick and wounded were housed.
Captain White also successfully arrived in a small train with Befa and the maid Ou, bringing with them the medicine for treating frostbite prepared by Perfectcott. He began to feel uneasy about these people who were still worried after being gathered together. The soldier began treatment.
This made the soldiers who were still uneasy finally feel relieved, knowing that Purficott really did not intend to gather them together to "process" them.
After seeing that everything was operating normally, Purficott began to take inventory and check the materials in the warehouse to prevent any materials from being frozen or experiencing abnormal wear and tear.
For example, the spirits in the warehouse were secretly drunk by some drunken soldiers.
In fact, Purficott stores a lot of spirits in the warehouse. The large wine barrels that are as tall as a person fill up half of the warehouse here. If they are used for drinking, It was enough to drink all the guards in her regiment to death, or simply soak all the soldiers in a company into a wine barrel as medicinal wine.
In order to collect so much spirits, she almost used an administrative order to drain all the stocks of spirits in New Shake City from the governor of the New World.
But of course Purficott’s hoarding of so much wine was not for drinking, but for refining alcohol for disinfection and medical use.
Alcohol can also be produced using alchemical means or industrial methods, but the current industrialization progress in the North cannot be said to be zero, but it is basically equal to none.
So before Purficott rolled out factories and production lines, all this was in vain.
In addition to spirits and steam knight armor parts in a warehouse, the warehouses in the entire fjord camp mostly store various winter supplies and a large amount of food.
Five warehouses of flour and wheat are enough to feed everyone in the entire Fjord Camp and Eagle Beak Base for three years now.
In addition, there are two warehouses of bacon, sausages and other shelf-stable meats, which are enough for them to eat for a whole year.
The reason for hoarding so much food is not only to survive the winter, but also because Purficott's plan has changed and she must prepare for the so-called "pioneering" next year.
A considerable part of these supplies are prepared for the pioneer team that will arrive next year. After all, even if they can go out to farm, they cannot make the food grow from the ground immediately. They have to wait until next autumn to harvest. Only then will food come in.
As for achieving food self-sufficiency, this is almost impossible to accomplish in just one year.
Of course, if the agriculturists and other scientists Perficott wants can arrive as scheduled, and she can solve the problem of greenhouse cultivation this winter, then there may be hope of relying on industrialized production methods. to meet the future food needs of the North.
Although this was a problem that Purficott planned to solve in two years, she had no doubts about solving the problem itself.
After all, for a time traveler, solving the food problem with her knowledge is not a problem at all.
People in this era simply cannot imagine that one day food will be grown not by area, but by volume, and those who maintain and grow food will no longer be farmers, but robots.
Although such a highly intelligent robot is difficult for Purficott, she has already created something like a maid doll that could not be made in the original world. It makes no sense. Can't figure out agricultural robots for planting. But thinking about robots, Purficott couldn't help but sigh. Before she was interrupted by a blizzard last night, she was studying how to build mining robots.
This is intended to be used in coal mines that are currently being mined and iron mines that are still under planning. After all, it would be too inefficient to use manual labor for mining, especially The coal mine being mined is an open-pit coal mine. Coal mining in this weather...
Purficott was not a cruel person, but she still had to let a large number of hired workers work in the coal mines in the increasingly cold weather, and had to endure what she regarded as a serious inefficiency.
You must know that according to Purficott's assumptions and calculations, once this kind of mining robot is applied to coal mining, it can increase the mining efficiency by at least 400%!
And this is based on the working efficiency of letting robots mine deep coal mines. If it were an open-pit coal mine like this, she even felt that the robot she designed could achieve 500% mining efficiency.
Industrial machines are beyond the reach of ordinary human beings’ weak bodies.
After checking the storage situation of various materials in the warehouse, and seeing that all the materials were well preserved and only a few meat products had some non-storage losses, Purficott left the warehouse with satisfaction.
After reminding her old housekeeper to prevent anyone from sneaking into the warehouse, she got on the train again.
She was not rushing back to Yingzui Cliff, but was going to the coal mine to take a look at the situation.
The main reason why we didn’t rush to the coal mine immediately was that the conditions there were better than those at the fjord camp.
Most of the soldiers here in the fjord camp use tents, and the miners in the coal mine at least have a miner's dormitory that can withstand wind and snow.
This is not because Purficott treated his soldiers harshly, but that the construction of the coal mine had been planned before, and the construction company was also responsible for laying the railway there and completing the supporting facilities related to the coal mine. construction.
The Fjord Camp was used as a warehouse from the beginning. A company originally stationed there had a permanent strong barracks to use. However, the regiment that arrived later had to use the camp because its number of people greatly exceeded the planned number of residents in the barracks. We had to pitch tents collectively.
And because they arrived too late, it is unrealistic to expect the construction company to complete the construction of their barracks in time.
After all, with the construction technology of this era, it is almost unthinkable to expect to be able to build a house after winter.
Even Purficott can't figure out the full set of techniques for mixing cement and letting it solidify and dry at sub-zero temperatures. Although this is something she plans to solve in the future, she really doesn't have the ability now.
So I had no choice but to aggrieve the soldiers, who could only live in tents in this weather.
"I'll take a nap for a while. Call me when you get there." Purficott said to the guard beside him, then he lay down on his seat and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
She almost didn't sleep all night last night, even on the swaying train, she fell asleep quickly.
