Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 119 Underground Base

The lifting platform lowered, and unlike what everyone imagined, they did not reach the ground at the base of Yingzuo Cliff, but came underground.

"Your Excellency, what is going on? Why are we underground?" The palace envoy asked Perficott with a curious expression.

"The Eagle's Mouth Cliff Base was built for the Arctic scientific research project. The purpose is to test how humans can survive in the extremely cold environment of the Arctic. Therefore, the main parts of the buildings here are buried underground, as are the streets." Purficott walked along. Walking forward, he explained to everyone, and pointed at the map hanging on the wall beside him and said: "This is the floor plan of the Yingzui Cliff base. There will be corresponding signs at each intersection. If you get lost, just read the signs. Just the cards.

My maid will occasionally take you to the residential area, where accommodation has been arranged for you. I will also invite Mr. Special Envoy to have dinner with me later. I need to discuss the canonization matter with you in detail. Please forgive me now. I'll excuse you for now. "

After saying that, Purficott called a doll on the side and asked her to lead everyone to the residential area. Then he turned and walked towards a passage on the side. The sign of that passage said Alchemy Laboratory.

No one who stayed there dared to say anything. After all, Purficott's identity was enough for her to be polite to all of them. Even the palace envoy did not feel that there was anything wrong with a count treating her like this.

Even though he came to consecrate Purficott, he only played the role of a messenger, and the canonization matter would not change because of his dissatisfaction with Perficott.

In other words, he messed up this matter, or made Purficott dissatisfied with him, so what awaited him was definitely not the outcome he expected.

So even though it seemed rude to leave them here, everyone could only follow Purficott's instructions and follow the puppets arranged by Purficott towards the residential area.

Along the way, everyone noticed that although the entire Eagle Beak Cliff base was built underground, it was not low or narrow.

Although each passage is not built very high, it is at least two meters high, ensuring that they will not feel low and depressed when passing through the passage.

Doors arranged in an orderly manner can be seen on the walls on both sides, which are obviously leading to the strange buildings seen on the ground.

At this time, everyone already understood why those buildings looked so low. The reason was very simple. It was because they were all built underground.

With this understanding, many people have some expectations for it. After all, they have never experienced what it is like to live underground.

------------

If Purficott knew they were curious about what it was like to live underground, she might think they were thinking too much.

Because there is nothing special about living underground, except that it is a little quieter than living on the surface.

The soil around buildings buried deep in the ground absorbs noise that would not normally be noticed, and the cold and dampness that would otherwise occur underground will not appear due to good heating and ventilation measures, resulting in overall poor living conditions. The underground of Yingzuo Cliff Base is actually no different from the ground.

Compared with this, Purficott is more concerned about the impact that the arrival of these people will have on himself and the entire plan.

"Befa, for the record, there are seven alchemists and five technicians assigned to the steam turbine project and the synthetic fiber project respectively, two for the steam turbine project and three for the synthetic fiber project." When talking to those alchemists before, Purfe Kurt had already figured out their general situation, so she immediately started planning to arrange their work: "The other two alchemists with a 'joint' rating, let them be responsible for leading the two groups to work." Ficott had previously asked each of them to submit a plan on how to improve the elevator, and promised that he would decide what work would be assigned to them based on the plans they submitted, but in fact how to use these alchemists Perficott had already Already have a plan.

The so-called allocation is just deciding who to send to which project.

Before knowing whether they had any talents, these alchemists were just labor for her in Purficott's eyes.

Of course, if one of them can come up with a solution or point of view that dazzles her in the transformation plan handed over to her, Purficott wouldn't mind promoting or training him and letting him serve as her real laboratory assistant. .

However, in previous conversations, Purficott did not feel that any of them had talents that would impress her, so she had no expectations for them.

Returning to his laboratory, Purficott threw himself into the sofa and asked Befa to pour himself tea.

When letting the construction company build the entire base, Purficott did not forget to prepare a residence for herself, but as an alchemist, she was more accustomed to staying in the laboratory.

Just like at Brandleth Hall, her bedroom was located above the new laboratory.

Purficott also put a lot of effort into the layout of this new laboratory. Not only did he use alchemy to carve out a huge space with two underground floors and three floors above ground on the mountain wall near Eagle Beak Cliff, he also carefully arranged every room. In the space on the first floor, it is planned to completely move the laboratory of Brandlis Manor.

But at present, she only arranged the underground floor as a laboratory, and asked Befa to organize the materials she obtained from the Omniscient Eye on the second floor above ground and put them here as a future library.

As for the other three floors, Purficott’s bedroom is located on the third floor above ground. The first floor above ground is considered to be a reception area, while the second underground floor is currently used as a warehouse and may be expanded into a new testing area in the future.

The building that Purficott used as a temporary laboratory has not been demolished or abandoned. Although she has moved all the experimental equipment to the new laboratory, the building is still retained. The construction company is currently converting it Used as a temporary residence.

Because the exploration work has been basically completed, the exploration team had left for the mainland not long ago. Apart from Perficott's guards, the only people left here are workers from the construction company.

So after the project manager discussed it with Purficott, he loaned the building as a temporary office location for the construction company.

After all, most of the rooms in the entire forward base are currently used for living and storing supplies. Apart from Purficott's laboratory, there are no other uses.

However, as the entire plan progresses, scholars and researchers involved in the Arctic scientific expedition plan will settle here in the future, and then this place will be different.
