Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 215 Optimizing Design
After seeing off the two reluctant admirals, Purficott immediately ordered the airship to set sail and boarded the Behemoth to return to the north.

Things here in Xinshak City have been dealt with. When the ice and snow melt in the spring, the construction materials and engineering team she ordered will go north along the coastline and start building a new city in the area she has designated.

The order placed by Purficott this time includes the construction of three cities and a main railway line to complete the construction of industrial bases, transportation hubs and administrative centers in the north, and to connect the three through railway lines.

As for other shelters, Purficott plans to draw the overall model drawings of the shelter in the next few days, and then when the development team arrives, he will give them a copy directly and let them build it themselves.

In this way, in addition to improving the efficiency and progress of the construction, it can also save her energy and time, eliminating the need for her to handle them one by one personally.

"The most critical issue now is the heating of the shelter. The other issues are trivial matters." Purficott touched his nose, and then remembered the new ability gained by his omniscient eye, and decided to try this so-called "optimization" ".

She took out a drawing she drew, which showed a town similar to concentric circles. All buildings were arranged around a large steam boiler in the center of the town, including schools, hospitals, factories and other related facilities, as well as Lots of residential areas.

Purficott designed this based on the layout of a game she played before traveling through time. Although she couldn't build that outrageous steam energy tower, she still had no problem making a similar town design.

Everything else is easy for Purficott. Even if she can't make it, she can basically make something with similar functions as a substitute.

Only the steam energy tower in the game that can maintain the heating field covering a city by burning coal alone seems a bit outrageous to Purficott.

Because that was indeed a bit unrealistic, and even if she managed to create it, she couldn't control the heat dissipation, and couldn't cover it in a limited area without being affected by the natural environment.

At first, Purficott considered asking the mages of this world for help. They could build a palace that could maintain the temperature like spring all year round. They must have the relevant technology.

This can not only effectively reduce the demand for heating, but also ensure that the entire town will not be affected even in the face of extremely severe weather.

Instead of building a constant-temperature magic barrier, it would be better to put the entire town underground, make the whole town a closed design, and then lay heating pipelines inside the town to heat every building.

She had calculated the calorific value, and it was impossible to build something that could maintain open-air heating in a town by burning coal alone. She could not even build a small energy hub that could cover a city block. .

But then she thought about it and realized it was such a waste.

According to Purficott's idea, this technology is applied to the construction of shelters, setting up a magic barrier to limit the escape of heat energy, and then generating heat through a large steam boiler to ensure the temperature of the town.

After all, open town design must consider the impact of snowstorms and other extreme weather. As the temperature drops further, strong winds of more than ten levels will be accompanied by heavy snowfall, which will really kill people.

With this idea in mind, Purficott made a first draft, and then after several revisions, it became the concentric circle-like design in front of her.

According to Purficott's design ideas, the center of the town is a steam-driven geothermal pump, which uses underground heat energy by drilling holes into the ground and injecting water, and then pumps out the hot water from the ground to heat the town, and circulates The returned cold water is injected underground again through pipes. As long as this circulation system can rotate, the geothermal resources deep underground can continuously provide heat energy.

The advantage of this is that it can effectively save fuel consumption. After all, in the final cold winter, when the temperature is at its warmest, it will be more than minus 40 degrees, and coal mining will become very difficult, making fuel very precious and cherished.

Under this circumstance, it is obviously impossible for Purficott to simply rely on coal for heating, so using geothermal energy has become an economical option.

Of course, to achieve this, certain breakthroughs in geology and drilling technology are needed, but this is obviously much simpler than building a constant-temperature magic barrier that covers the city.

"Let me try, optimize, optimize..." Purficott covered his left eye with one hand and looked at the design drawings on the table with only his right eye, mumbling to help him concentrate. Then her right eye lit up, and a green light shot out from her right eye, covering the design drawings on the table: "There is a reaction. Is this how this thing works?"

From the perspective of Purficott's right eye, the lines on the design drawing on the table began to change, as if someone was modifying it.

The blank space next to the drawing also began to contain some explanatory text condensed by green light, as if an invisible hand was writing on it.

Purficott watched the changes in the design drawings, looking forward to the final result.

The changes in the design drawing only lasted for a while. As the design drawing was modified, Purficott's right eye no longer glowed, and the lines and text on the drawing also turned into an emerald green color. Even Purficott The paper Kurt used to draw the drawings also turned into a light green paper.

Purficott stretched out his hand and twisted the paper and felt the paper. It didn't feel like paper, but more like the texture of some kind of plastic that traveled through the former world. It was flexible and difficult to tear.

Purficott didn't care about this. With her current status, she didn't know what kind of paper she wanted to use. And as an alchemist, if she really wanted any special paper, she could make it herself.

What really concerned her was what the design on this drawing looked like after being optimized.

"Is this an additional benefit of upgrading?" Purficott reached out and fiddled with the drawing, and saw that the pattern on it actually changed.

Just like the drawings in the science fiction works of the original world before she traveled through it, the patterns on it can be enlarged or reduced, or changed to different viewing angles, or even directly converted into different display modes such as appearance, cross-section, and three views.

Obviously, this drawing has now turned into something that I don't know whether to call it a magic prop or an alchemical item.

"This is pretty good, it saved me a lot of effort." Purficott was quite satisfied. After playing with it for a while, he focused on the description text and the design itself.
