Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 80 Plan for Sweet Berry Island

After Purficott hanged the plantation owner, the exploration team's activities on the island received full support from the local indigenous people.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Purficott's announcement that they were free and no longer slaves.

In short, with the help of local people, the exploration team was able to survey the entire island and collect a large amount of data.

Dr. Jones also discovered murals and stone carvings left by the ancestors of the locals on the island, which proved that the locals had lived on the island a long time ago, which aroused his great interest.

Through conversations with local people and investigations into their lifestyle and culture, Dr. Jones collected a large amount of precious information, which was enough for him to write several research papers on the history of the Aboriginal people in the New World.

Because of this, Dr. Jones felt that his trip was not in vain.

On the other hand, the people who were originally frightened by the massacre by Purficott in New Shaker City finally calmed down.

The smooth progress of the exploration also restored the morale of the exploration team to a certain extent. Finally, everyone no longer thought about the corpses hanging on the streets of Xinshak City.

But at this time, Purficott didn't pay much attention to what the exploration team members were thinking of writing. She was considering how to use the island based on the results of the investigation.

According to the investigation of the exploration team, there are rich geothermal resources under the island, which will be very valuable in the face of global freeze in the future!

According to Purficott's vision, all that is needed is to build a large geothermal circulation pump to pump out hot water from the ground to heat the buildings on the island.

And this water can also be recycled. After it cools down, it just needs to be pumped back underground, and it will be heated into hot water again!

It can be said that as long as the geothermal resources are not exhausted, this island will be the best site for shelter construction in the future storms and snows, and has unique conditions.

But according to the predictions of those astrologers, in the next three hundred years, the entire planet will be completely frozen, and even the core of the planet will be frozen. By then, there will naturally be no geothermal resources to speak of. .

Although in Purficott's view, three hundred years of time-frozen geological verification is really an exaggeration. This is the energy contained in an entire planet. It is an energy that is unimaginable for humans. Even if it is used It may not be exhausted even after hundreds of millions of years.

In just three hundred years, it is too incredible to freeze the entire planet, even the core of the earth.

In Purficott's view, this was either because the astrologers made a mistake in their divination, or the source of the disaster was an entity she did not understand.

The reason is also very simple. If the global climate changes drastically due to natural factors, the underground will not be affected.

Not to mention the core of the earth, even if the surface is minus 120 degrees Celsius, it will still be hot if you dig five hundred meters down.

The average distance between the earth's core and the ground is more than six thousand kilometers, so even if you dig down to a depth of several thousand meters, it won't even be considered a scrape for the planet itself.

One can imagine how much energy needs to be released to completely freeze such a huge object.

If these factors are not taken into consideration, it will also have an impact on Purficott's follow-up arrangements. However, although it needs to be considered, it does not need to be considered too much, because the results of the astrologers' divination are still three hundred years away.

Although Purficott had only recently remembered that the Philosopher's Stone could be used to create a panacea that would allow her to gain immortality, if the world was really going to be destroyed in three hundred years, she would still choose to die in order to avoid suffering the consequences again. .

As for ending the source of all this and saving the entire world, for Purficott, it is really not polite.

And now is not the time to think about this. Let’s survive the global cooling first and then think about how to save the world!
  Driven by such an idea, Purficott readjusted his thinking and returned his attention to the planning of the island.

"First of all, the port terminal needs to be expanded. We cannot only dock one large ship at a time. This affects the efficiency too much." In terms of planning, Purficott first expressed dissatisfaction with the island's terminal.

The original plantation owner was a pirate, and he still attached great importance to the construction of the dock.

After all, he is running a plantation business, and the output needs to be shipped out to make money, and the only transportation method on the island is by sea.

In addition, other supplies need to be purchased from outside the island, so the dock of Sweet Berry Island can accommodate large ships like the White Gem.

However, because there is not much trade on the island, the usage rate of the wharf is not high, so there is only one berth.

The small boat can still be parked sideways, and a few more boats can be parked and unloaded from the bow. The boat is small and can easily be turned around.

However, a large ship such as the White Gem can only park vertically. Only one ship can be parked, and it has to use a long trestle to get on, off, and unload cargo.

Therefore, if Purficott hopes to use Sweet Berry Island as a distribution center for supplies, the dock and port will definitely need to be expanded, and the supporting facilities must also keep up.

Facilities such as gantry cranes for loading and unloading large cargo have appeared on the docks in Longton, but the only tools for moving cargo on Sweet Berry Island were slaves.

For plantation owners, the labor efficiency of slaves is acceptable, but for Purficott, this is completely unacceptable!
  What she needs is a distribution center that can handle a large amount of materials, a port that can load and unload materials from multiple cargo ships at the same time, rather than a berth that can just park ships.

The slaves' low labor efficiency was absolutely unacceptable to Purficott.

Instead of using slaves, she might as well use alchemy to make a port robot herself, specifically for loading and unloading cargo.

This also gave Purficott a general idea in her mind. She might be able to try some new ideas in the construction of the shelter.

She still remembered that before traveling through the original world, she had played a game with the same doomsday theme. In that game, most of the production facilities and service facilities could be replaced by robots.

So in the end, it will be possible to fully automate the operation of all factories, and urban residents will just need to stay at home and drink and box.

"Maybe I can give it a try? Making a robot doesn't seem to be difficult for me anyway." Purficott estimated the problems that needed to be solved to make a large robot and found that it seemed not difficult, so he decided to give it a try.
