Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 574 Before the Typhoon Landed

Inside Windsor Castle, Perfect was still sitting in the office she had used, listening to officials from the Longton City Government reporting on various situations.

"At present, the compressed biscuit factories have resumed full production, and the compressed biscuits they produce are enough to ensure that everyone in the city has enough food to eat." An official first reported on the situation of the compressed biscuit factories.

For the current city of Langton, most of the people who have just experienced the tsunami are in a state of lack of food and clothing, and food supply must be prioritized.

Perfect was also quite concerned about this, so after the official's report, he also asked: "How much food do you have now?"

"We lost some of our food reserves in the previous tsunami due to damage to factories and flooding of warehouses. Currently, there is still enough food in the warehouse to feed about 500,000 people for a week." The official had obviously done his homework and answered Perfecto's question without hesitation.

Although Perfect nodded to the result, he was not very satisfied.

So she issued a new order to the official: "Find a way to increase the grain reserves, and at least ensure that there is always enough food in the warehouse to feed 700,000 people for half a month."

The official was immediately embarrassed by this order. After a little calculation, he replied: "If this is the case, we may have to reduce the existing ration distribution standards, otherwise the compressed biscuits produced by the factory will not be able to meet the needs of both consumption and storage."

Even after the impact of the tsunami, there are still more than 800,000 people in the inner city of Langton. This is the number of people that Perfectcott specially sent people to count in order to resettle the victims.

Although there may be certain errors in the data, the number of 800,000 is basically correct.

This is why she requires that there be at least enough food for 700,000 people in the warehouse. After all, if a big problem really arises and the reserve grain needs to be used, without sufficient reserves, people will really starve to death on a large scale.

However, the compressed biscuit factory in Langton City can only meet the daily consumption of 800,000 people. If we also want to take into account the demand for expanding the reserve grain stocks, we must inevitably reduce daily consumption to meet the grain storage needs.

But Perfect was obviously a little dissatisfied with this statement. She frowned and said, "What if I want you to increase the amount of grain reserves while ensuring the supply?"

"This..." The official showed a very embarrassed expression on his face, but finally nodded and said, "If you can approve the compressed biscuit factory to expand its production capacity by another 20%, then everything will be fine."

Hearing the official's words, Perfect nodded slightly: "I'll give you a month. After a month, I require that the warehouses have at least enough reserve grain for 20 people for half a month. At the same time, the production capacity of the compressed biscuit factory must be increased by %. Is that a problem?"

"No problem!" the official replied immediately and loudly.

Only then did Perfect look at the next official with satisfaction and asked him, "What is the current water situation in the city?"

"With the help of pumps, the water in the streets of the inner city has been basically drained. Although there is still water in some low-lying areas, it no longer affects people's travel." The official reported to Perfect, and took out a document to give her further explanation: "The various shelters in the inner city have now returned to normal, and the flooded shelters have also been drained. We are currently organizing people to clean up and renovate them.

Seventy percent of the shelters are already able to accommodate residents, and the remaining thirty percent will be cleaned and renovated within a month.”

"That sounds good, but I don't have a month to give you. You only have half a month to send more people." Perfect was a little unkind, but she knew that a big drop in temperature was coming and she really didn't have the time to let them take their time. Currently, the front of the super typhoon has begun to affect Langton. In the next few days, there will be strong winds, rain and other weather, and as the temperature drops, it will turn into hail and blizzards.

When the typhoon makes landfall, if people still do not have a sturdy home to shelter from the wind and rain, it will be difficult for them to survive even with the heating provided by the energy tower.

Because on typhoon days, the real danger is not the drop in temperature or precipitation, but the strong winds.

All kinds of debris blown up can become extremely dangerous in strong wind weather. Strong winds with speeds of tens or even hundreds of kilometers per hour can carry heavy objects. Once a person is hit, it is basically difficult to survive.

Not to mention that in strong winds, people may be blown away.

After the typhoon passed, the temperature dropped sharply, making it impossible for people to live in the temporary tents they are currently staying in.

The existence of a heating field can indeed provide a relatively comfortable temperature, but people cannot live in a tent all the time, especially when the temperature is getting lower and lower.

Although she could temporarily cram everyone into the shelter for shelter during a typhoon, this could only be temporary and not for a long time. Not only would people get into trouble, but the shelter itself would also collapse.

So Perfect did not intend to have officials spend a month cleaning and renovating the damaged shelters, but could only strengthen them.

The official's face also turned sad, but he still made the same assurance.

In addition to these, another more serious problem is the problem of various types of garbage.

After the tsunami hit, Perfect did not have enough manpower to clean up the garbage. Now that the typhoon is about to land, she is afraid that it will be too late to ask people to clean up.

But this is undoubtedly a huge safety hazard, because those smaller debris or garbage are likely to become a deadly threat under strong winds.

Of course, what is more important is that once these high-speed moving objects hit the energy tower, they will also cause damage to the energy tower.

So after thinking it over carefully, Perfect gave the officials in front of him another order: "I will give you one week. I require you to do everything you can to complete the work of installing protective shields on all energy towers before the typhoon lands.

I will hand over the detailed design to the production department later, but you only have one week to complete this work. Once the typhoon lands, even a small piece of iron or a small stone may cause damage to the energy tower under the strong wind, so we must complete the reinforcement and protection before the typhoon lands. "

"Yes, my Lord Earl!" The officials looked at each other and saw painful expressions in each other's eyes, but they could only make a unified answer and accept Perfectoct's order.
