Chapter 95 Arai, Going to Reconnoiter and Design the Bathhouse
The new well is located behind the container hotel, at the southernmost end of the entire camp.
After the walls were upgraded, the entire camp environment changed a lot.
Camp 49 is surrounded by wilderness, and on the other side is a wasteland.
The surrounding area was incredibly open, with not a single person in sight, giving it a feel reminiscent of the old American West.
When the wind picks up slightly, it stirs up sand and dust, sometimes so thick that people can't open their eyes.
Now the wall directly blocks the wind and sand. Although you can faintly hear the wind howling outside the wall, it is calm inside the wall. As a result, Lu Sheng feels as if he has changed his place when he walks on the road.
It was already late October, or more precisely, October 27th, 672 of the Long Night Calendar.
Temperatures in the wilderness are gradually dropping, but a significant drop is still some time away.
With the arrival of the Long Nights, global temperatures were also affected due to the imbalance between day and night.
However, after the initial 100 years of complete climate chaos, the temperature gradually recovered and became even more balanced than in the old era.
Some scholars have even suggested that the long night was caused by excessive environmental destruction by humans.
Of course, nobody cares about such opinions.
After the temperature stabilized, people revised the twenty-four solar terms, using calculations of the solar terms to predict when the temperature would change in order to cope with the long nights.
Although the temperature is objectively more stable than in the old days, the changes between day and night and the gradual reduction of sunlight make summers less hot and winters exceptionally cold.
Lu Sheng once calculated that if cold-weather protection measures were not prepared before December, the entire winter at the campsite would be very difficult.
To get through the winter, we need to stockpile enough fuel, electricity, food, medicine, and cold-weather supplies.
Even their current residences need to be upgraded.
Strictly speaking, existing container hotels are still just tin-roofed houses. The insulation layer exists in the design, but its effectiveness can be ignored.
Having thought of this, Lu Sheng stopped thinking about it.
He found that there seemed to be an endless amount of work to be done.
When he came to his senses, he saw Meng Lingshi standing next to a hole where water was gushing out, waving to him.
Next to Meng Lingshi was a robot dog named Zhaocai.
The two had already prepared simple pipes and a wooden lever-type well valve.
"The unfinished well, which consumed one unit of steel, has been upgraded to an automated well and connected to the camp's electrical system."
Lu Sheng upgraded without hesitation, choosing the same upgrade attribute as the other well.
As the hole overflowing with groundwater was covered by a brand-new well valve, Meng Lingshi clapped her hands, in a very good mood: "Boss, this solves the water supply problem for the bathhouse."
I had Zhao Cai calculate that this well would be more than enough to supply a bathhouse.
Lu Sheng nodded simply. He didn't respond to Meng Lingshi's question, but instead looked at Zhao Cai beside him: "Zhao Cai, is the camp located above multiple water-rich layers?"
Zhao Cai denied Lu Sheng's idea, explaining, "The location of this well is still in the same water-rich layer where the other well is located."
According to calculations, although the two wells share a water source, this well is dug deeper, so there will not be a situation where the other well cannot produce water when this well uses a lot of water.
Based on the same calculations, the camp could not drill a third well unless it was expanded to drill into a more distant, water-rich area.
Upon hearing Zhao Cai's words, Lu Sheng nodded. The bathhouse did not require a large amount of water 24 hours a day, and the two wells were more than enough to supply twice the number of people.
However, the situation mentioned by Zhao Cai also needs to be taken into consideration. In the future, there may be more equipment that requires a lot of water, and expanding the camp is only a matter of time.
He turned to Meng Lingshi and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Then he waved to Zhaocai.
Zhao Cai understood Lu Sheng's meaning, turned and ran away, leaving only him and Meng Lingshi standing beside the newly dug well.
Seeing that Lu Sheng had left her alone, Meng Lingshi guessed that she probably had another task assigned to her: "So, what's the mission this time?"
"It's about Song Yan."
Lu Sheng said to her, "Song Yan wants to go to check out the situation near several ferocious beast lairs deep in the ruins."
After much thought, it seems only you meet the criteria of being able to safely bring him in and out.
Meng Lingshi countered, "If I were to encounter an exceptionally powerful ferocious beast, I might not even be able to protect myself."
At this moment, would you prefer me to come back, or him to come back?
Lu Sheng felt that Meng Lingshi's question was a bit tricky, but he still followed his heart and gave his answer: "If such an extreme situation really occurs, I hope that you are the one who comes back."
Hearing this answer, Meng Lingshi was very satisfied: "At least you have some conscience."
Okay, I'll go find Song Yan in a bit. You hurry up and get your bathhouse ready.
Although I am now a robot, my simulation of the five human senses is extremely accurate.
"Spending so much time with a bunch of people who never shower, I'm a girl too, I can't stand it."
Lu Sheng shrugged and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, it'll be done soon."
He was well aware that the camp's sanitation was far from ideal, but given the limited resources, there was little he could do.
Even under these circumstances, he held those family members in higher regard.
They wanted better treatment and more money, but they never mentioned how harsh the working conditions were.
Although they probably don't have much of a future in their own families, their living conditions are definitely much, much better than in this camp.
That evening, he discussed the design plan for the bathhouse with Meng Lingshi and Lin Ran for the last time. The initial plan was to convert a shipping container into a simple shower area, without the need for shower heads, and to use water pipes instead.
This makes the cost very low.
However, in the second version of the plan, everyone decided to add a bathing feature.
After all, this isn't a temporary construction site, but a place where everyone will live long-term.
The final design was a public bathhouse the size of two shipping containers, connected together and separated in the middle, with one side for men's showers and the other for women's showers.
Two semi-circular bathing areas are designed at the rear, with an area of about 1/3 of a single container.
However, the second version of the plan was quickly rejected.
Because Lu Sheng forgot something very important: taking a bath requires changing clothes, and there must be a special area for changing clothes.
