Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 131 Warehouse Reserve

Under Purficott's coordination, the entire camp's placement of the wounded and sick finally went without any trouble.

All soldiers with frostbite, colds, typhoid fever, and other injuries were properly accommodated. Purficott even made several heaters for them on site using some iron materials stored in the warehouse so that they could Warmth was provided in the warehouse where the sick and wounded were placed.

Captain White also successfully arrived in a small train with Befa and the maid Ou, bringing the medicine for treating frostbite prepared by Perfectcott, and began to treat these soldiers who were still worried after being gathered together.

This made the soldiers who were still uneasy finally feel relieved, knowing that Purficott really didn't 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 liquor in the warehouse was secretly drunk by some soldiers who were good at drinking.

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, they will be enough for her whole group. Drink all the guards to death, or simply soak all the soldiers of a company in wine barrels 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 Xia Ke City from the governor of the New World.

However, Purficott's hoarding of so much wine was certainly not for drinking, but intended to be used to refine 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 until Purficott rolls out factories and production lines, this is all 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 is 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 will have to wait until the autumn harvest next year before the food will 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 needs of the North. food needs.

Although this is a problem that Purficott plans to spend two years solving in her plan, she has 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 things like maid dolls that could not be made in the original world in this world. There is no reason why she cannot handle farming. robot. 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 being planned. After all, it would be too inefficient to use manual labor for mining, especially since the coal mine being mined is an open-pit coal mine. Digging coal in the 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 robots mining deep coal mines. If it were an open-pit coal mine like today, 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, he saw that all the materials were well preserved and only a few meat products had some non-storage losses. Only then did Purficott leave 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 Eagle Beak Cliff, but was going to the coal mine to take a look at the situation.

The reason why we didn't rush to the coal mine immediately was mainly because the conditions there were better than those at the fjord camp.

Most of the soldiers in the fjord camp use tents, while 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 the construction of the coal mine was planned before, and the construction company completed the construction of supporting facilities related to the coal mine when it was responsible for laying the railway.

The Fjord Camp was used as a warehouse from the beginning. The company originally stationed there had 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 was 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 last night, even on the swaying train, but she fell asleep quickly.
