Chapter 81 Chapter 081【VIP】
——Emergency Notice: In the next period of time, the layout of Taoyuan Base will be changed to a certain extent. Please try to stay at home or in the open space outside the base.
The broadcast played three times in a row before returning to silence. However, the entire Taoyuan base was abuzz with activity. Everyone was discussing how the Taoyuan base would undergo new changes after the boss's adjustments.
For a moment, everyone was super excited.
"Have you heard of the Xiguan Mansion in Province G?"
"I've heard of it. Why is our base going to build a Xiguan Mansion?"
"No. Before the apocalypse, the mansions in Xiguan, Province G, had a design called Qingyun Lane. Air speed increased threefold when passing through the narrow lanes, and the temperature difference between inside and outside could reach 5°C!"
Zhang Heng gestured excitedly, "Imagine building a circle of cold alleys like this around our settlement..."
"And there's this Baiyu Pavilion. I heard from the professors that it's going to be built in the next few days. It's said that it was used for cooling in the Tang Dynasty imperial palace."
"There are also water-jet fan carts from the Ming Dynasty. I heard there will be many new and effective cooling devices, and they will be sold in various grocery stores."
Amidst everyone's discussion, Mingzhu began to build.
First, a cold alley design was used. The principle was to utilize narrow alleys to create a Venturi effect, accelerating air flow (increasing wind speed by three times). This involved the layout of the courtyard house. The main change was to the courtyard's residential area.
Then, they began to build the Baiyu Pavilion, a typical Tang Dynasty building. The principle is that water is stored in the roof and drips along the tiles to form a water curtain, thus achieving a cooling effect.
Water fan: hydraulically driven fan blades + water mist injection system......
Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Even in modern times, it is still an amazing masterpiece.
Mingzhu handed the palace ice drink recipe to Jin Dashao. It contained famous summertime remedies and even iced drinks. As for the blueprints for the Warring States bronze ice jar (a double-layered structure for storing ice and refrigerating food, similar to a refrigerator), the Qing Dynasty seven-wheeled fan, and the Qing Dynasty ice bucket (a portable air conditioner made of pine wood covered with tin foil, capable of storing ice for eight hours without melting), they were sent to the workshop and constructed by nine external workshops.
The blueprints for the Susha Zen robe, the Qingrong yarn, and the Bamboo robe were all given to Yin Xiaoluo, who then commissioned their construction. Mingzhu then began constructing the Cool Palace, a summer retreat organized during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, as well as the Green Sky Temple and the Winding Courtyard Lotus.
The Cool Palace built during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was a luxurious building used for summer escape in the Tang Dynasty palace. In order to cope with the scorching heat in Chang'an at that time, Emperor Xuanzong ordered craftsmen to build the Cool Palace.
The cooling technology of the cool hall can be called an ancient air-conditioned room, which uses mechanical principles to draw water for cooling.
The hall is equipped with a fan driven by a waterwheel, which pumps water to the roof and then forms an artificial rain curtain "waterfall" along the eaves. The water flow drives the circulation of cold air and reduces the indoor temperature.
Marble or jade beds were placed in the hall, and the stones were cooled by water flow, so the emperor and his concubines could lie on the beds and enjoy the coolness.
In addition, lotus plants are planted around the water outside the hall, which not only looks beautiful but also regulates the microclimate.
As for the Green Sky Temple drawings, strictly speaking, they are landscape drawings, with the main vegetation being banana trees. They are divided into three types: small, medium, and large.
A small one costs 1 million Starlight Coins to build. It contains buildings such as Huaisu Thatched Cottage, 50 thatched houses, and 10,000 banana trees.
The medium-sized Green Sky Temple cost 5 million Starlight Coins to build. It includes the Huaisu Thatched Cottage, 50 thatched cottages, additional school buildings, 100 elegant bamboo dwellings, and 100,000 banana trees.
The large Green Sky Temple cost 10 million Starlight Coins to build. In addition to the Huaisu Thatched Cottage, 50 thatched houses, 100 elegant bamboo houses, there are also 100 Qingshan wooden houses, 50 Shilin mountain houses, and 500,000 banana trees.
Mingzhu Inquiry 184: Two medium-sized Green Sky Temples and one large Green Sky Temple were built. Besides housing, the banana trees inside were not only ornamental but also a source of food.
The banana fruit is a fruit, and the core is edible. The fiber from the banana stems and leaves can be used to make rope, weave, or paper. The roots and flowers are used medicinally, and crushed banana leaves applied topically can relieve burns and inflammation.
The "Quyuan Fenghe" (Wind-Brocade Lotus) garden is also a landscape structure, listed in the Special Architecture panel. It is a famous landscape name in Chinese classical gardens, especially the "Quyuan Fenghe" garden, one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake in Hangzhou.
The entire landscape architecture is mainly composed of bridges (such as the "Jade Belt Bridge"), corridors, and pavilions to divide the water surface, creating a Jiangnan water charm with changing scenery.
After completion, the lotus pond will be planted with hundreds of lotus varieties, creating a complete food chain. This means that when the lotus roots ripen, people can not only pick the lotus roots and lotus pods, but also catch fish, shrimp, crabs, and snails.
In addition, lotus leaves, lotus stems, etc. can also be used as vegetables. In general, "Quyuan Fenghe" is a masterpiece among special buildings, just like Lutian Temple.
Like Green Heaven Temple, Quyuan Fenghe boasts two main buildings and one large garden, with hundreds of varieties of lotus planted. Dozens of pavilions also adorn the lake, making it a prime spot for leisure, entertainment, and summer retreats.
"Oh no,
There is no way to stop, we have no money, and if we continue, we will have to take out a loan.
Twenty-two percent interest, damn, even loan sharks aren’t that cruel.
Mingzhu didn't dare to continue, for fear that the interest on the loan would make him feel distressed.
Soon, Mingzhu called up the floor plan of the Taoyuan base and rearranged the buildings of the entire base. Compared with the previous crowded buildings that were all squeezed together, this time the layout was staggered. For example, the residential areas were generally surrounded by the newly built Green Sky Temple or Quyuan Fenghe.
In addition, there are Baiyu Pavilion and Liangdian. However, since Liangdian is a palace after all, it is not suitable to build too many, so not many were built. Instead, many were built.
The plain gauze Zen robes, palace iced drinks, etc. have all been handed over to the NPC in charge of each Bai, and will be on the market tomorrow.
"The temperature is 39°C now."
Mingzhu was nestling comfortably, with no intention of going out for a night out. By this time, the layout was complete. Not wanting to go out, but also not wanting to continue sleeping, Mingzhu decisively found a book.
On the Cultivation of a Gentleman
It was a foreign language book. Somehow, it got mixed up with the other books Mingzhu read on a daily basis.
"Host, aren't you sleeping?" 184 asked with concern.
"I can't sleep for the time being." Mingzhu replied. "Don't worry, I might fall asleep while reading."
184 didn't quite believe it, but after persuading Mingzhu, it didn't try to persuade him again. Unexpectedly, Mingzhu was so engrossed in reading that by the time he put down the book and felt sleepy, it was already around 7 o'clock.
Mingzhu did not go to Taoyuan Inn for breakfast. Instead, he chose to have a quick bite and then go to bed, completely ignoring what the residents who were about to explode were saying.
