Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 324 New Capital

The destination of Purficott's trip is the northern capital, which has now completed preliminary construction.

This is a city located between Beloberg and Eagle Beak Cliff. To the east from this city, close to the coastline, is the industrial center of the north.

Purficott did not interfere much with this city. She only planned the construction of the city. As for the city's design, construction, and subsequent related arrangements, she did not have much involvement.

She had just been paying attention to the city's construction progress and put forward her own requirements during the initial design planning.

This requirement is of course to reserve space for building shelters underground in the city. After all, no matter how well the above-ground buildings are constructed, they cannot compare to underground shelters in wind and snow.

Those urban planners obviously listened to Purficott's request, and of course they couldn't help but listen.

The North is Perficott's territory. As the Lord of the North, she requested the construction of this city, and she is the only party to this project.

If it didn't satisfy her, it would be easy to tear it down and rebuild it, so all of Purficott's requirements were met.

For example, which seems outrageous to ordinary people, the entire city must be placed underground as much as possible, and huge shelters must be built underground. Buildings in the city must consider the issue of cold protection and warmth at minus 40 degrees Celsius, etc...

Some of these requests are understandable, but some are really head-scratching.

After all, although the climate in the north is cold in winter, the area where the capital is located does not reach minus 40 degrees in winter.

As for the design of underground shelters, urban planning designers are even more confused. They have never been involved in such a city.

But Purficott gave requirements and issued rigid orders, so they could only obey orders.

Therefore, the houses in this new capital of the North seem to have only one or two floors from the outside, and are built very low. Except for a very pointed spire on the top, they look like houses specially built for dwarves. Same.

But if you enter the interior of these buildings, you will find that they have a unique secret.

Generally speaking, in addition to the first floor above ground, these buildings have at least two to three floors underground, and this is the main part of these buildings.

And generally speaking, the underground part covers a much larger area than the above-ground part.

In the middle of the entire ring-shaped city layout is the reserved location for the energy tower. The city is arranged layer by layer around the central energy tower like a ring, looking like countless rings.

Purficott didn't make any comments about this design. He just checked and found that there was no problem and let them start the construction.

Not only the capital of the North, but Beloberg, the industrial center, and almost all settlements in the current land of the North follow this model of fjord towns in terms of layout, with only slight differences in details. That’s all.

There can't really be no buildings on the ground in the city. Although Purficott's plan is to let everyone live underground to avoid wind and snow, some functional buildings must still be left on the surface.

Even for ordinary residential buildings, if there is a layer left on the surface, it will be easier for sunlight and air to enter the underground space. Judging from the parts that have been built so far, there is no problem with this design, but how effective it can be in wind and snow, or how strong its ability to withstand wind and snow, Perficott feels that it is still needed this winter The snowstorm came to verify it.

"Looking at it, this year's winter is coming soon!" Purficott sighed, and at the same time began to worry about this year's winter.

This is already the penultimate winter before the end. After this winter, there will only be one year until the end.

According to Purficott's speculation, the Empire Center is likely to announce the news of the Doomsday Winter this winter, which will only take place in the past few months.

As the lord of the northern region who bore the brunt, Purficott felt that he should be more or less prepared in advance.

Because after this winter, she will officially begin to face the end of winter.

After two years of preparation, the basic preparation work has been almost completed, but even Perfectcott himself is not fully sure of the effectiveness of these preparations.

The preparations she could make at the moment were all based on conjectured data, and no one could guarantee whether the situation would get worse after the doomsday winter came.

Therefore, Purficott still felt a little unsure.

However, she did not show this worry and anxiety on her face at the moment. In the final analysis, it was just a worry of hers. Showing it in the current environment was actually not conducive to fighting the doomsday winter.

After all, the entire empire is watching her now. If she doesn't have enough confidence and assurance, how can she make others have confidence?

Out of such considerations, when Purficott arrived in the northern capital to attend the city's inauguration ceremony, the expression on his face was a confident and high-spirited one.

Just like the rumors about her from the outside world, a genius who is superior to all living beings is freely displaying his divine appearance, changing the world like a painter painting a canvas.

Such Purficant should be confident and contemptuous of everything. After all, this is how a genius like her should be in the eyes of mortals.

Purficott has no intention of correcting other people's opinions of her. If such an opinion can make it easier for these people to listen to her, then it is not a bad idea for her to maintain such an appearance.

The capital of the North still looks like a small town. After all, city size is linked to population. Even though the empire center has begun to transport people to the North, due to transportation capacity issues, the population of the North is not growing very fast.

At present, this newly built city only has a population of about 10,000, and it cannot even fill the residential areas that have been built in the city.

But these are temporary, and Purficott can foresee that as the news of the doomsday winter is announced, the city will soon be filled, and even the underground shelters will be filled with people.

By then, all she needs to worry about is how to control population density, rather than worrying about the city being deserted.

Just when Purficott was thinking about this and thinking about what to name the new city, suddenly a dusty knight came to her side. After passing the inspection by the guards around her, After the briefing, the knight reported bad news to Perficott: "A strange disease has appeared in a settlement. Many residents have had terrible hallucinations, seeing themselves being burned by fire, and their limbs It also began to turn black and fester, and the muscles disintegrated, like blackened coke..."
