Chapter 58 Alternative Locations for Shelters

With inspiration and ideas, Purficott quickly came up with design ideas for the dungeon.

But this is just a rough idea. It is not an easy task to actually design an underground city that can accommodate thousands of people without causing problems.

At least how to satisfy so many people using water and fire is a problem that requires very careful design.

You must know that in this era, even large cities like Langton City did not have universal tap water. Water in most urban areas was supplied to nearby streets or water points in residential areas through water supply stations in the neighborhoods.

Residents living in the local area must collect water at regular times and points every day. If there are a large number of people in the family or a large amount of water consumption, they must learn to store water and save water.

In addition, this era had no idea about the hygiene of drinking water. It was normal for diseases to spread along rivers, sewers and even water supply lines.

Want to design a dungeon that's reliable enough? It's not just about digging trenches.

Therefore, Purficott did not spend too much time on the underground city project. After all, it was just an idea.

She still spent more time looking for suitable places to build shelters, and used the exploration company's data as much as possible to analyze which places were suitable for building shelters, and how to maintain operations after the shelters were repaired.

It is indeed not difficult to simply build a shelter, but how to ensure the normal operation of the shelter and meet the various requirements of all residents for food, life, and housing is an extremely difficult task.

At least Purficott felt that his head hurt just thinking about these things.

Fortunately, the information provided by Imperial Exploration Company was very detailed and provided a lot of help to Perfectcott.

"Your Majesty, after our discussion, a total of fifteen alternative locations have been selected." An exploration team member submitted the results of their discussion to Purficott and explained: "As per your request , these locations are chosen as far away from areas rich in metal mineral deposits and coal resources as possible, and close to the coastline or rivers, where ports and terminals can be built to facilitate material transportation.

In addition, we have also specially selected areas where geothermal resources may exist according to your requirements.

However, there are relatively few survey companies in this area. We can only choose areas with volcanoes, hot springs or nearby sulfur and volcanic rocks as much as possible.

After many layers of screening, the final list is these fifteen locations, please check them out. "

With that said, the exploration team member handed a compiled document to Purficott.

After taking the document, Purficott began to read it carefully, and by the way, he walked to a map that was spread out and compared it directly to the location selected by the exploration team.

When Purficott looked at the map, all the exploration team members were a little uneasy and nervous, just like the candidates facing the examiner during the upcoming exam.

You must know that this is a super project invested by the royal family. It is difficult for the Imperial Exploration Company to obtain such a project even if it is a royal property. This also makes these exploration team members even though they do not know the truth, they are still mentioned by the company's senior management and asked them to do so. We need to take this project seriously.

But after they confidently selected fifteen target locations that they thought were perfect, they didn't have much confidence.

Because of the previous expulsion of the Royal Guard Knights, many people on the ship were spreading rumors that the Baroness was actually a moody little girl. She has an unpredictable temper and will get angry for no reason. She will scold you just because you forget to add milk to her coffee, or you don't greet her with honorifics and honorifics.

Although no one in the exploration team has been scolded by Purficott so far, most of them chose to believe it since the rumor spread.

So this also led to them always being careful to avoid offending Purficott when facing her.

Just kidding, a knight of the guard was driven away for disrespecting her, let alone a minor character like them?

They are all just humble workers, earning a meager remuneration from the company through hard work every month. If they lose this well-paid job, it will be difficult to support the large family behind them.

Naturally, Purficott didn't know how the people on the ship spread rumors about her, or that even if they knew, she wouldn't say anything.

After all, rumors become more popular the more you ban them, and it is impossible to eradicate them.

Even if we use high-pressure policies to suppress it and make way for people to see it, we can't stop the spread.

So Purficott was naturally too lazy to take care of these things. As for the old butler Foster?

He has his own grasp on these matters, and unless it hurts Purficott's reputation or the reputation of the Brandless family, he will not interfere in these matters.

Compared to Perficott, he understood the spread of rumors better.

However, Purficott was still quite puzzled as to why these exploration team members looked nervous, but she did not ask. She just pointed to the points on the map that she had just marked casually and said: "These three points to the south. They are not considered for the time being because they are too far south and the climate environment is not sufficient to simulate the harsh environment of the Arctic Circle.

Of course, you can consider these three places as material transfer stations, and you still have to take a look when passing by. "

Hearing what Perficott said, the exploration team members quickly recorded what she said, and someone immediately began to compile relevant information.

Purficott continued to draw his fingers on the map. Every time he crossed a point, he would make a comment: "This point is on an isolated island. Although it is not far from the coastline, the transportation of materials is inconvenient, and This is a volcanic island, and it would be very dangerous in the event of a volcanic eruption or other geological activity, so get rid of it."

With that said, Purficott drew a cross on this point.

Then she pointed to the northernmost point and said: "This place is too close to the Arctic Circle. Although the climate environment is very suitable for building an advanced base for Arctic scientific research, we also need to consider the difficulty of excavation of frozen soil in cold climates.

Looking for relevant information about this area, I need to know the specific time for the local permafrost to bloom. If the time is too short, it will not be considered here. "

After evaluating the fifteen points one by one, Purficott finally left only nine positions that she thought were pretty good as candidate positions for this exploration activity.
