Chapter 501 Disadvantages of Constant Temperature Barrier
Perficott’s new design was quickly applied. In New Shake City, except for the first energy tower, which was adopted for technical verification, the original version was adopted. In addition to technology, the two subsequent newly built energy towers both adopted Perfectcote’s new design.
This new design effectively increases the constant temperature barrier area that the new energy tower can deploy by more than 30%. After all, although the previous distributed magic array can still be effective, due to energy conduction, etc. For various reasons, its effect has been greatly reduced.
Now that the problem of drawing the magic circle has been solved with Perficott's new design, the effect has naturally been improved and restored to its original effect.
I have to say that the constant temperature barrier technology that the magicians came up with is indeed very useful. At least for the current Xinshake City, it suddenly turned the originally cold early spring cold into A very pleasant temperature, about 10℃.
In such ambient temperatures, people don't even need to wear heavy clothes when going out, only a normal thin coat and a single coat are enough.
Of course, some people can live with it if they want to wear more clothes. After all, sometimes etiquette and work requirements force some people to wear more or less clothes than ordinary people.
Under normal circumstances, the climate in Xinshaike City has already entered spring, and it is enough for everyone to wear their clothes like this.
But because of the approaching doomsday, the temperature in Xinshaike City outside the constant temperature barrier is still hovering around 0℃, and sometimes even drops below -5℃.
Such a huge difference has caused many people to praise the new energy tower. At the same time, they have also praised Purficott to a higher level, and there is a rhythm of putting her on the altar.
Although for Purficott, she has already been promoted to the altar and has firmly established her position, she is not sensitive to this kind of rhythm.
Especially as the new energy tower is put into use, the renovation plan of the original energy tower is also put on the agenda, and some people can't help but start to criticize another thing.
That is the shelter that Perficott built under each energy tower.
Originally, it was because the energy tower could not build a heating field on the ground, and there was no way to ensure the ground temperature. Purficott had no choice but to build cities and streets underground.
Although everyone understands this point, some people have criticized it from the beginning, thinking that there are many problems living underground, so it is better to find ways to allow humans to live on the ground.
Of course Purficott had heard this kind of remarks a lot, but she had never regarded them as farts.
It’s not that this statement is unreasonable. Everyone knows that living in a basement and living in a building on the ground are two completely different feelings, but these people have not considered living underground for insulation. Far easier than on earth.
After all, maintaining the temperature in an open environment and maintaining the temperature in a closed environment are two completely different consumptions.
Especially according to the prediction, as the doomsday approaches, the ambient temperature will drop below -40°C. Under this ambient temperature, it is almost meaningless to light a fire for warmth.
Because the heat loss is very serious, you can only feel the warmth at a very close distance. Once you leave a certain distance, you will only feel the biting cold.
Not to mention, in Purficott’s prediction, -40°C is only the most basic temperature, and it will be even colder in the future.
Under such circumstances, living underground is undoubtedly more comfortable than living on the ground, and the thermal insulation effect is many times better. After all, there is no need to doubt the thermal insulation effect of the ground.
But now that there are new energy towers, the effect of the constant temperature barrier makes some people feel that there is no need for them to live underground in disgrace, and they can continue to live on the ground. This underground shelter There is no need to build the place anymore.
It is possible to save money and resources and build more new energy towers, so that the city can still maintain its original living conditions even in the end of winter.
This statement has been supported by many people. After all, it is possible to live on the ground. Who wants to live underground?
But Purficott did not agree with this. She directly vetoed the proposal and insisted on continuing to build the underground shelter against all objections.
Of course some people have some complaints about Purficott's attitude, but Purficott's identity and status are here, and the power she holds is enough to let her have her own way and no one can object. and stop her.
Especially on the issue of energy towers and shelters, Purficott is the absolute authority, and no one can raise objections to her or question her decisions.
This is not Purficott’s own arbitrariness, but her current identity and status, as well as her achievements, determine that no one has enough confidence to deny her.
Although Purficott herself actually hopes that someone can provide a contrary opinion to her and prove that she is not perfect, unfortunately no one can do this.
At least when it comes to the issue of shelters and energy towers, no one can do this.
Even if some people think that doing so is a waste of resources, they can only try to test her from Purficott to see if she can make changes.
For this reason, they even invited Princess Anne to test Perfectcott on this matter.
“Aunt Anne, let me ask you a question, how effective is the constant temperature barrier in Windsor Castle in winter? Can the temperature remain stable throughout the winter? It is different from the constant temperature barrier on the energy tower. The world is the same, right?" Faced with Princess Anne's temptation, Purficott just asked her in return.
In response to Purficott's rhetorical question, Princess Anne just frowned and recalled it before replying: "Under normal circumstances, the temperature is very stable and there will be no fluctuations, but if the weather is really cold or snowing, Under the circumstances, there will still be a certain degree of cooling. "
"Look, the answer is obvious, isn't it? There is a limit to the constant temperature barrier, and those magicians don't know that it's minus 40 degrees. , whether their precious barrier can still work normally." Purficott spread his hands and made a helpless expression while further explaining to Princess Anne: "The constant temperature barrier is not completely isolated. Internally and externally, its principle is just to maintain the temperature within a suitable range.
When the weather is hot, it will lower the temperature, and when the weather is cold, it will raise the temperature. All of this is based on it. In terms of energy consumption.
In the past, magicians used magic power to maintain the operation of the magic circle, and the weather was not extreme, so the constant temperature barrier had a more obvious effect.
< br>But when the ambient temperature is too extreme, the magic circle cannot keep up with the consumption and will not be able to maintain the temperature.”
