Chapter 501: Disadvantages of Constant Temperature Barrier

Perfect's new design was soon put into use. In the city of New Shak, except for the first energy tower which adopted the original technology for technical verification, the two subsequent energy towers both adopted Perfect's new design.

This new design effectively increases the area of ​​the constant temperature barrier that the new energy tower can deploy by more than 30%. After all, although the previous decentralized magic circle can still be effective, its effect is greatly reduced due to reasons such as energy conduction.

Now, with Perfectoct's new design, the problem of drawing the magic circle has been solved, and naturally the effect has been improved, restoring its original effect.

It has to be said that the constant temperature barrier technology that the magicians came up with is really useful. At least for the current New Shak City, it instantly turned the originally somewhat cold early spring weather into a very pleasant temperature of around 10°C.

In such an ambient temperature, people don’t even need to wear heavy clothes when going out. A normal thin coat and a single piece of clothing are enough.

Of course, some people can wear more clothes if they want. After all, sometimes etiquette and work requirements force some people to wear more or less clothes than ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, the climate in Xinshak City has already entered spring, and it is enough for everyone to wear clothes like this.

But because of the coming of the doomsday, the temperature in New Shak City outside the constant temperature barrier is still hovering around 0℃, and sometimes even drops below -5℃.

Such a huge difference has made many people praise the new energy tower, and at the same time, the praise for Perfectcot has also reached a new level, as if they want to deify her.

Although Perfect had already been deified and had secured her position, she was not interested in this pace.

Especially with the new energy tower being put into use, the renovation plan of the original energy tower has also been put on the agenda, and some people inevitably began to criticize another thing.

That is the shelter that Perfectoct built beneath each energy tower.

Originally, that was because the energy tower could not build a heating field on the ground and there was no way to guarantee the ground temperature, so Perfect had to build the city and streets underground.

Although everyone understands this point, some people have criticized it from the beginning, believing that living underground will cause many problems and it would be better to find a way to allow humans to live on the ground.

Of course, Perfect had heard a lot of such remarks, but she always treated them as nonsense.

It’s not that this statement is unreasonable. Everyone knows that living in a basement and living in a building on the ground are two completely different feelings. However, these people did not consider that it is much easier to keep warm underground than on the ground.

After all, maintaining temperature in an open environment and maintaining temperature in a closed environment require two completely different consumptions.

Especially according to the prophecy, as the end of the world approaches, the ambient temperature will drop below -40℃. At this ambient temperature, it is almost meaningless to make a fire for heating.

Because the heat loss is very serious, you can only feel the warmth when you are at a very close distance. Once you are away from a certain distance, you will feel the biting cold.

Not to mention, in Perfectoct's forecast, -40℃ is just a basic temperature, and it will be even colder in the future.

Under such circumstances, living underground is undoubtedly more comfortable than living above ground, and the warmth effect is many times better. After all, the insulation effect of the ground is beyond doubt.

But now with the new energy tower, the effect of the constant temperature barrier makes some people feel that there is no need for them to live underground in an indecent way. They can continue to live above ground, and there is no need to build underground shelters.

It is entirely possible to save money and resources to build more new energy towers, so that the city can maintain its original living conditions even in the doomsday winter.

This statement has been supported by many people. After all, if you can live above ground, who would want to live underground?

But Perfect disagreed with this. She directly rejected the proposal and insisted on continuing to build the underground shelter against all objections.

Of course, some people have complaints about Perfectcot's attitude, but given Perfectcot's identity and status, the power she holds is enough for her to go her own way and no one can oppose or stop her.

Especially on issues concerning energy towers and shelters, Perfect is the absolute authority, and no one can object to her or question her decisions.

This is not the arbitrary behavior of Perfecto herself, but her current identity and status, as well as the achievements she has made, which determine that no one has enough confidence to deny her.

Although Perfect herself actually hopes that someone can express the opposite opinion to her and prove that she is not a perfect person, unfortunately no one can do this.

At least when it comes to shelters and energy towers, no one can do it.

Even if some people think that doing so is a waste of resources, they can only try to find ways to test Perfecto in a roundabout way to see if she can make changes.

To this end, they even invited Princess Anne to test Perfectoct on this matter.

"Aunt Annie, let me ask you a question. How effective is the constant temperature barrier of Windsor Castle in winter? Can the temperature remain stable throughout the winter? Is it the same as the constant temperature barrier on the energy tower?" In the face of the temptation shown by Princess Annie, Perfectcot simply asked her a question in return.

In response to Perfectcot's question, Princess Anne just frowned and recalled for a moment before answering, "Under normal circumstances, the temperature is very stable and does not fluctuate. However, if the weather is really cold or it snows, the temperature will still drop to a certain extent."

"Look, the answer is obvious, isn't it? The constant temperature barrier has its limits, and those magicians don't know whether their precious barrier can still work properly at minus 40 degrees." Perfect spread his hands, made a helpless expression, and gave Princess Anne a further explanation: "The constant temperature barrier does not completely isolate the inside and outside, its principle is just to maintain the temperature within a suitable range.

When the weather is hot, it lowers the temperature, and when the weather is cold, it raises the temperature, all of which is based on the energy it consumes.

In the past, magicians used magic power to maintain the operation of magic circles, and the weather was not extreme, so the constant temperature barrier had a more obvious effect.

But when the ambient temperature is too extreme, the magic circle cannot keep up with the consumption and will not be able to maintain the temperature. "
