Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 9 It's Good to Hang Here

While Andrew was trimming the wheels of the toy car with a file, he watched the mayor, with a red face, draw back and forth on the design drawing of the tent with a pen.Andrew believes that Mr. Mayor has a wealth of knowledge about the structure of the energy tower, but what insights can he have about the already perfected building modules?
"Andrew, look, as long as the steel processing here is reduced a bit, the material can be saved, and the degree of stability can be taken into account. The installation of cloth and wood should avoid heat loss, instead of relying entirely on the steam pipes connected to the energy tower for heating. In this way Even if the temperature drops, the impact indoors will be minimal."

"But Mr. Mayor? You didn't let me see what you drew on the drawings at all?" Andrew stared. The children around him couldn't understand what they were saying, and all their attention was on the toy car in Andrew's hand.

Li Jianghao picked up the drawing and handed it to Andrew with excitement on his face.Compared with the time when he was savior by the holy sword, now he uses the extra knowledge in his mind to complete the transformation of the tent design, and it is he who is really sober and uses the golden finger rewarded by the system to feel that he is different.Confidence in saving these citizens also rose.

After all, which teenager has never dreamed that he is a hero who saves the world.

Andrew looked at the drawing, and his brows were tightly knit together. He is actually not very old, but he spent a lot of time studying when he was young, and he looked a little old. Now he looks even older, which makes people worry about whether he will be in the next moment. Just passed out.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and the children stayed aside obediently until Andrew straightened up, let out a long breath, and said:
"Mr. Mayor, your design is very exquisite. The strength of the existing tent can be increased by 30.00%, and the control of temperature loss is enough to shame the teachers of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. However, we can save resources and energy to study tents Upgrade to a shed or even a house. No amount of experience spent on a toy car can make it go faster than a real steam locomotive. Mayor, we can't sleep in a tent forever. And the modified tent can It is not compatible with the upgrade of the workshop, which needs to be tested.”

Andrew's concept is very clear. It is useless to waste energy transforming the infrastructure used to survive the early stage of development. They should upgrade as soon as possible according to the supporting building template of the energy tower distributed by the empire, so as to better protect the people.As engineers from the Imperial Academy of Sciences, they received various inventions and designs from all over the world when they knew that the cold disaster was approaching.

They found the most feasible solution in the vast sea of ​​designs. In order to deal with disasters, the most basic designs such as tents and kitchens pursued simplicity and convenience. They did not extend the development of basic designs too much, and put more energy on Those technologies that are higher up in the tech tree.

"But these small improvements can save a lot of materials. We can use these saved materials to build an additional ambulance station, collection station, etc., and it doesn't take much time. If it is not compatible with the upgrade of the work shed, it will not be difficult to tear it down when the time comes." It takes a lot of effort." Li Jianghao fully understands the thinking of these engineers, they have more exposure to advanced technology, and they don't care about improving the basics at all.So I didn't intend to get the consent of these people, as long as I knew that his transformation was feasible.

As for building tents according to his transformation, he is the mayor and only needs to order.

Li Jianghao rolled up the tent drawings and said: "Just do what I say, trust me Andrew, if there are any objections among other engineers, please appease them first. The workstation for your work can be completed today, and then the implementation With the materials saved by this new style of tent, we can have proper housing for everyone by noon tomorrow, and we can also build an additional resource collection station and cooking kitchen. You don’t want people digging with heat lamps in the ice and snow Resources, but not even a place to rest, not even a sip of hot soup."

Andrew agreed with Li Jianghao's reasons. Although he felt a little uneasy about rashly changing the basic technology that had been set long ago, he comforted himself that this was just a basic technology and would not shake the foundation of the knowledge they had learned.Nodding his head, said:

"Understood, Mr. Mayor." Andrew took the blueprint and placed the repaired toy car on the ground. When he walked out of the tent, he stopped suddenly, turned around and asked:

"Mr. Mayor, I can understand your design, but is the skull logo hanging on the outside of the tent also necessary? Children will feel scared when they see it."

When Li Jianghao heard this question, he also hesitated. According to the detailed instructions of the standard tent in his mind, from material specifications to appearance, every component is necessary, and the skull used to symbolize a certain lofty meaning is also necessary, which means This human being was pure to death, uncorrupted.

Li Jianghao didn't plan to modify these strange concepts, and he didn't want to be surprised by such a small change, so he could only put on a sophisticated look and said:
"Just treat it as my own arrangement, Andrew, do it with confidence. The skull logo can be processed quickly. If you are worried that the children are afraid, you can also teach them to carve. It is an after-school homework after the establishment of the children's shelter. Bar."

Andrew quickly left to announce the mayor's order to his fellow engineers.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the first tent was dismantled and rebuilt according to the mayor's design.Andrew carved a standard skull logo by himself and nailed it outside the tent.Compared with the original tent, the new tent looks more rough and barbaric, but in this environment, it feels more secure than the previous design.

Until five o'clock, the workers were arranged to get off work, and four new tents were being set up.Under the mayor's order, people still huddle together to sleep, but the children are in a separate tent.

At the same time, the energy tower was restored again, and when night fell, the hunters who had gone out finally returned.They dared not follow too far, and let the bear run away.According to Li Jianghao's order, within the range where the energy tower camp could be seen, he ran around the periphery of the entire low-lying land to confirm that there was no threat, and then chose to return to the camp.

"Hope value is 65%, dissatisfaction value is 3%."

The value in my mind reminded me at the right time that yesterday's hope value was full and it didn't last long, and Li Jianghao was already very satisfied with more than half of it.

As for those dissatisfaction values, Li Jianghao understands that this comes from engineers and some trivial problems.After all, anyone who has nothing to sleep in a tent with a skull hanging will feel a little uncomfortable.

But as they felt that today's tent was warmer than yesterday's, that bit of dissatisfaction disappeared.

"Well, it's good to hang this thing here, it's very pleasing to the eye." Li Jianghao looked at the skeletons on the four new tents, and dragged his tired body back to rest.
