After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 132

Regardless of potability, she seriously considered the Bathhouse. Automatic heating and cooling was not just a luxury, but in times of extreme weather conditions, it could save lives.

The NPCs mentioned that once a year or two there will be a major climate change—and there had never been an exception thus far.

Sometimes, it was extreme heat, which had such soldering heat that could kill people if they stayed out for too long.

Sometimes, it was the extreme cold, where people could lose a finger after staying outside for half an hour.

Even if the construction team was about to complete the basic utilities, wherein they could redirect water from the sources, other changes were not practical at this time.

Changing temperatures would be an energy-consuming endeavor and they might not be able to do it fast enough to rescue lives.

She silently tagged this as a building for consideration.

Next was the Production tabs which contained four new buildings: lumber house, quarry, ice house, and something called Gugu Bird House.

The first two just increased harvest and efficiency of transforming resources into usable products.

The ice house was another one for serious consideration. It would have been better if water from the bathhouse was potable, then she wouldn’t even need to consider this.

However, if the freezing water from the bathhouse was cold enough, perhaps it would be enough to create ice from another source.

It would be even better if they found saltpeter.

The last one, based on the description, was basically a chicken coop. It increased the fertility of Gugu birds by 20%.

Sounded good... if she knew what Gugu Birds were…

This time it was Brenda who spoke up. "It’s a relatively common bird, especially in the Eastern and Southern regions. I am not sure where the territory is, but based on the temperature, there should be some nearby.

"It is recognized as the best source of bird meat because of the amount of meat in each one and their strong fecundity." Brenda wrinkled her nose. "In retrospect, the meat was tasteless, but it is very filling."

Clutch added, "They’re level cap is also level 3, though most of them are in level 2s, and were thus easier to domesticate than others."

Althea nodded in understanding. She decided that after the tide, she would send out missions to capture these things alive.

If it was really common, a few people should have encountered it before.

After a thought, she dismissed all the buildings in this tab, already formulating ways they could build them on their own.

For the Infrastructure Tab, there was one addition, but it was very essential, especially for others.

[Well (Lv1)- Produces a fixed amount of 5 tons of water per day.

Can be built continuously.

Cost: 100 wood, 100 stone, 50 gold per well. ]

This could be a bit costly. In Terran, the optimal water consumption per person was 100 liters a day—that was, the comfortable amount—with 2 to 3 liters a day needed to barely survive. If people didn’t save much, the well could only serve a few scores of people every day. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

That was to say, for a single well to serve an entire territory—which had thousands and thousands of residents—people would have to make do with a liter or two a day, at best (assuming only a few wells would be built).
