On the fourth day of the plot, the first cooling begins. The temperature dropped from minus 20°C to minus 30°C.

Thanks to the improvements to the tents and the timely upgrade of the tech tree, all buildings can be maintained at the appropriate level, even at the temperature of the Tier 1 Power Tower.

This greatly reduced the chance of illness, and before the reconnaissance team brought back the survivors, Li Jianghao arranged for the workers to build a corresponding number of tents in advance.

After building a third hunter's hut and two workstations for the shearer, Li Jianghao's workstation immediately began to study the design of the factory, and it was necessary to produce more robots to replace productivity as soon as possible.

In these three days, Li Jianghao pointed out the root treatment law, the nursing home, and the prosthetic limb law in turn.

He also promised that if someone was sick or disabled, he would be treated the same as everyone else by fitting a prosthetic leg and would never be discriminated against. These policies have kept the pre-cooling hope value at around 70 percent, and the dissatisfaction value at 5 percent.

Until this day people woke up and noticed the change in temperature, the dissatisfaction rose directly to 10%. Although the workplace is equipped with heaters, and food and housing are not affected, people still panic because of the falling temperatures.

If the temperature keeps dropping in the future, will they be able to maintain a suitable living temperature for the energy towers with defects?

People don't know.

The Portals of New London are so flawed by Bernard's crimes that they can only raise their temperature level up to Tier 3 and cannot upgrade technologies that increase the Portal's range. It is for this reason that the dissatisfaction value increases to 10% when the temperature of work and life is not affected in the first cooling.

Li Jianghao has no choice but to hope that after the factory is built, his standard building template for steam engines will be built smoothly, and he will have the ability to work directly with snow as fuel, as described by the system.

The first engineers were almost unaware of the dangers of the Portal, but the larger number of workers, and even the others who continued to enter the city, were unaware of it. If this news is known to the people behind him, Li Jianghao can imagine how the dissatisfaction value will grow explosively.

If it is not well controlled, coupled with the plot triggering of the Winter House, people can realize that maybe the ending of the Winter House is their future, and the situation will be completely out of control.

Therefore, Li Jianghao should realize the steam engine design drawings given by the system as soon as possible, before the hidden danger of the energy tower erupts.

He ran to the factory early in the morning, but Andrew wasn't there. He was responsible for training new engineers, as well as explaining improvements to rail cars and tents. At the request of Li Jianghao, Andrew called these designs his own ideas, and the mayor fully supported them.

This avoids the confusion of more engineers, most of whom know that the mayor of the Empire, who is a civil servant, could never have learned so much about mechanics, and that it is better to push the improved design onto Andrew in the first place.

The Factory, one of the largest buildings in the game, requires a Steam Core to power. Combined with the other steam cores that the scout team brought back during their exploration, there are still five left. These steam cores will be used to build four robots that will completely automate the production of shearers.

At that time, the second-level steam shearer technology was also developed, and the outpost would set up an outpost in the discovered coal mine to send back 800 pulverized coal per day, and for a long time, coal resources would not be a condition restricting the development of New London.

When Li Jianghao arrived at the factory, the factory had already laid the foundation, and the steel processed in the steel mill was used as a support, and the high platform support and the axle for transporting the steel needed for the construction of the robot were already being installed.

As a large resource-eater that consumes 100 parts of wood steel and a steam core respectively, fortunately, the optimization of wood and the reserve of the steel mill built in advance have allowed the factory to be directly put into production after the factory is established.

"Mr. Mayor, the newcomers are very productive and enthusiastic. It's all thanks to you, and in the eyes of the newcomers, you're a mysterious character who wants to talk to you in person. But these days, people haven't seen you in the tavern, and you can't take the liberty of going to the control room. Huck was already able to get rid of his crutches and move freely, Ta Xing was helping in the factory, and after seeing Li Jianghao, he hurriedly ran over again.

The other patient, Pierre, was a little miserable, he was not able to move freely now, but fortunately his arm was not injured, and he could only help scoop food in the room, so that the workers who processed cooked food could work at full strength.

Li Jianghao looked around for a while, and sure enough, after he arrived here, the new faces in those workers were all looking at him curiously, but when they saw Li Jianghao looking over, they all turned around and hurried to work. The engineers looked at each other as if they were looking at some very precious treasure.

Andrew's statement made them think that Li Jianghao was a mayor who could listen to opinions very much, although they were stubborn in their ideas, but as engineers, who had some wonderful designs in their heads?

"How do I feel that these new engineers don't look at me like they want to talk to me, they want to eat me." Li Jianghao shook off the goosebumps on his body, looked at Huck, and said:

"I'm going to give you a business, Huck. Find someone you can trust from among the new engineers, tell them about some of the dangers of the Portal, but not too seriously, and bring them to me. The problem of our tower must be solved, but not to cause more people to panic. You have followed me all the way, and you are one of the people I trust the most. “

Huck looked at Li Jianghao's serious expression, straightened up, and said hard: "Obey the order, my lord!" You've saved so many of our lives, and I won't be afraid even if I were to fight the demons! I will definitely complete your mission! “

Li Jianghao patted Huck on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if there is a day when you want to fight the demon, I must be at the front." But now, we have to fight the cold, and we have to fight the fear in our own hearts. Huck, you, like me, are fearless people, and those of us who are fearless must stand in the way of others. “

After a burst of chicken soup poured down, Huck was already a little out of his mind, and hurriedly returned to the construction site to work hard, and thought about how to complete Li Jianghao's task.

As for what he just said, Li Jianghao is also making multi-handed preparations. It would be even better if these newcomers brainstormed a solution to the pitfalls of the Portal.
