Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 53
The next day, word spread throughout the city that the energy tower had undergone an overload test.

Except for the engineers who have been climbing the technology tree and the ambulance station, the other engineers are assisting the guards to evacuate the population in the inner circle of the energy tower.

Constantly explaining people's doubts during this process can at least appease people and keep them from thinking wildly.

This method did not change the hope and dissatisfaction of the city much, and it was considered an unintentional move.

In the original game, the full firepower of three steam shearers is enough to support the full-load operation of the city in the later stage.

New London even had to build a large resource depot to handle coal storage, which even slightly delayed robot production.

This is not because of lack of resources, but because the workers have not coordinated whether to send the wood to the construction site or to the factory first.

Coupled with the full completion of the Sky Hunter's Lodge, the city's resource supply and food supply have reached a level of affluence.

It can be said that apart from the problem of spiritual construction and the hidden dangers of the energy tower, the city has survived the snowstorm and no longer poses any threats.

After being arrested, the members of the London Gang were reformed in labor. After Brian changed his mind, the task of destroying the London Gang would be accomplished.

Li Jianghao's holy sword will be able to completely unlock the second seal, and it will no longer need the help of the Baofeng Shendiao driving book to release it.

With the opening of the overload switch in the control room, the originally docile steam began to become violent.

The steam hits the inner wall of the pipe crazily, looking for an outlet to release the pressure.

The steam released from the core of the energy tower expanded three times, and from a distance, those huge columns of steam and smoke seemed to condense into a solid body.

Originally, the sound of the energy tower running was like a smooth old train, but now it instantly changed to an old train with a whistle, sparks and lightning rushing on the track all the way.

Admitting his lack of imagination, Li Jianghao is wearing an insulated suit made by Alexander.

Although Alexander proposed that he could go in after the overload test is over, which can ensure safety.However, Li Jianghao still decided to reach the top of the furnace core first during overload operation to collect useful data as much as possible.

Wait until the overload is turned off, and then enter the furnace core to check the gear shift and fix the limiter again.

The path leading to the energy furnace core was opened from inside the control room, and he walked in slowly.

Li Jianghao didn't have a thermometer at hand, so he couldn't feel the actual temperature. Because of the thermal insulation suit, he still couldn't feel any harm to his body. He could only use the vibration of the steam valve installed every other way. To judge the extent to which the energy tower is overloaded.

The originally stable internal bracket also trembled constantly due to overload operation. When it was about to reach the furnace core, Li Jianghao.I can already feel the stickiness of the legs of the thermal suit.

He looked down and saw that the skin of the clothes that were in contact with the ground had all cracked. Those cracked gaps began to shrink due to the high temperature, and if they went any further, they would begin to melt.

The legs have exposed the inner material of the thermal suit, which still maintains a complete structure.Li Jianghao felt his body start to sweat, and there was still a long way to go before he was about to reach the position of the stopper.

Next, he had to climb up the ladder himself, and install the tools in his hands on the pipes on both sides of the furnace core. Based on the changes in the tool pointers caused by the vibration, he could judge where the pipes were most vulnerable during the overload operation of the energy tower.

Normal operation and overload operation are two completely different states. Problems that may occur in normal operation are stable and worry-free in overload operation.

Overload operation will expose some problems in advance, causing the violent steam to hit new problem points, and skip the original problem in a hurry.

And these data are exactly what Alexander needs.

After climbing the ladder, Li Jianghao walked away from the furnace core.The really hot inner ring is pretty close.The body inside the heat-insulating suit began to sweat continuously, but the water lost could not be discharged through the heat-insulating suit, which caused some obstacles to Li Jianghao's actions.

Li Jianghao didn't dare to take a deep breath. The dry and hot air had already made his respiratory tract uncomfortable, so he could only hold his breath and strode to install the tools in his hand on the pipes in four directions.

When all this was done, he tapped open a valve.

Alexander in the control room.It was observed that a valve was opened, immediately pulling the switch for the overload test.

Li Jianghao instantly felt the heat supply of the furnace core drop, and his whole body couldn't support such a huge physical exertion, so he sat down on the ground, ignoring the pain of being burned.

He looked back and saw that the pointers on the tools were all within a safe range, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

Feeling that the temperature inside the thermal insulation suit had returned to a suitable state, Li Jianghao got up slowly and walked towards the control room.

Ten minutes later, he returned to the control room to rehydrate and put on a new thermal suit.

He is not a fool, and there is no shortage of materials in the city. Naturally, he has made complete preparations before implementing the plan.It's not the kind of character in a disaster movie with cerebral palsy who insists on taking risks with defective equipment.

At this time, the energy tower has returned to normal operation, and you can enter the furnace core with the heat insulation suit to check the operation status of the limiter from the winter house.

While changing the thermal insulation suit, Li Jianghao looked at his body, and the mark of the ring of darkness slowly emerged.Undead, the sensitivity to flames is really powerful.

This time, because the inside of the energy tower became docile, Li Jianghao walked to the furnace core without much effort, found the most stable node, and began to climb down.

After finding the limiter, the energy tower will be temporarily closed, and then Li Jianghao will enter it. Taking advantage of the temperature starting to cool down, but not yet completely cooled down, the energy tower will be pulled back to its original position.

If the energy tower is completely cooled and the limiter is installed back, it will take more time for the energy tower to return to the current temperature level when it is turned on next time.

When the limiter of Winter House was installed for the first time, New London spent a whole day shutting down the energy tower for debugging. This is because the houses in the city are all over the place and the buildings in various places are within the range of the steam hub, so they dare to do so. .

Today's time is limited, and the test must be completed before night falls.

Fortunately, there were no surprises along the way, and the next work was successfully completed within an hour of the energy tower being closed.

Li Jianghao, who returned to the control room, wished he could take off his thermal insulation suit and run to roll in the ice and snow.

This time, the physical tower defense was finally safe, and the energy tower overload test was completed. Even if the temperature dropped several times in the future, it would not be a big problem.

This frees him up to leave the city, find the location of New Manchester, and solve the problems at the power tower site where the Dark Circle's curse originally spread.
