Chapter 96 Heating: The Old Method and Two Pieces of News
So the original plan was changed to two containers side by side, with a horizontal container added on top.
This container is used separately for import/export and changing areas, while the remaining two containers are used for showering and bathing.
This final version of the plan was approved.
That leaves only one problem.
Lin Ran put a question mark next to the design drawing and wrote two words: Hot water.
She asked, "The general framework is fine, the only problem now is, how do we ensure there's hot water in the bathhouse?"
The existing solutions can be roughly divided into two types.
The first method involves heating the water in a boiler, boiling it, storing it in a large water tank, and then using it through a hot/cold valve.
Another method is electric heating, which is more convenient than the former, but the former can create more jobs.
Lu Sheng prefers to use electric water heaters to supply hot water.
However, the job position Lin Ran mentioned forced him to consider a boiler heating solution.
On the other side, Meng Lingshi offered his suggestion: "In that case, we actually have another alternative plan."
She suggested, "In ancient Rome, they already had a highly efficient bath heating system."
Seeing Lu Sheng and Lin Ran looking at her curiously, Meng Lingshi proudly introduced her alternative plan: "The baths in ancient Rome consisted of three parts."
She held up three fingers: "The heating boiler, the underground cavity, and the large public bathhouse with its water changed regularly."
The boiler is located underground, and there are always people who boil hot water to supply the bathhouse. The hot smoke and heat generated during the boiling process will exit through the flue through the underground cavity.
However, the underground cavity is located below the bathhouse, and heat will be conducted upwards through the stones, ensuring the warmth of the entire bathhouse.
Isn't winter coming soon?
This design even eliminates the problem of how to heat the bathroom.
Finally, all we need to do is change the water in the bathhouse periodically.
If the camp expands in the future, we can recycle this water and use it to irrigate the land and grow crops to achieve self-sufficiency in food.
After all, there's plenty of open space around here. I've actually secretly observed it, and the soil quality isn't bad; cultivating farmland is feasible.
Upon hearing her proposed alternative, Lu Sheng and Lin Ran both fell into a thoughtful silence for a while.
In their view, this method is quite old, but equally practical, only a bit more complicated in terms of structure.
However, Lu Sheng believes that the least worrying thing is the structure; the upgrade system will take care of these things for him.
Finally, Lu Sheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's adopt this plan."
If problems arise later, I will make further modifications.
Lin Ran, where did Shu Tong go?
Lin Ran thought for a moment: "Shu Tong has set up a separate office at the container hotel. I guess she will be staying there for a long time and won't be sleeping here anymore."
Lu Sheng nodded. Now that the bed sheets, quilts and other daily necessities had been delivered, it wouldn't be difficult to set up a place to live there, although it certainly wouldn't be as convenient as living in a folding house.
So he used his personal terminal to send a message to Jiang Shutong, asking her to contact Wei Fa again and order three more containers.
Before he could finish sending the message, Lu Sheng thought for a moment and realized that three containers might not be enough. The camp should still stock up on some containers.
So the information was changed to an order of 6.
Container supply has now become a stable business.
Wei Fa simply had his partner move a large batch of supplies to a nearby warehouse.
Previously, it took 2 to 3 days to deliver, but now, as long as the warehouse has the goods, orders placed on the same day can be delivered the next day.
Not only are the camps being built better and better, but the supply chain for various supplies is also gradually being improved.
Regarding the previous arms supply, Lu Sheng simply had Cheng Qiushui and Lei Zhaowu liaise with him to be responsible for the arming and organization of his so-called private army within the camp.
Cheng Qiushui was also trying to contact some old friends to see if he could get some more powerful weapons or armored vehicles.
These steel behemoths, born from human hands, still possess considerable power against the ferocious beasts of the night.
Just as the evening's agenda had been discussed and Lu Sheng was about to send everyone back to their rooms, Meng Lingshi gave Lin Ran a look. Lin Ran understood immediately, waved to the two of them first, and went into the bedroom.
Now it was Lu Sheng's turn to understand that Meng Lingshi had something to say to him privately.
"Actually, I don't need to avoid Lin Ran. I even use her account."
Lu Sheng shrugged: "You can basically consider her my right-hand woman."
Meng Lingshi waved his hand: "There's no secret. It's just that what we're about to say is just boring nonsense to her. Let her go and rest early, and we can talk slowly."
She then explained why she stayed behind alone: "During the day, Song Yan and I went to the ruins. According to his observations, there is good news and bad news. I'm not trying to keep you in suspense; he just asked me to relay this message."
At this point, Meng Lingshi held up two fingers and asked with a grin, "Which one do you want to hear first?"
Lu Sheng sighed and said, "Listen carefully first."
Meng Lingshi bent a finger and delivered the good news: "According to his observations, the nesting of ferocious beasts in the ruins has not yet reached the point of attracting strange beasts."
These words reassured Lu Sheng a lot.
He knew very well how much trouble the monster was. If that thing passed by the camp, all the efforts he had made in recent days would be wiped out, and everyone in the camp might even die a terrible death.
Then, Meng Lingshi bent his second finger and delivered the bad news: "There are far more ferocious beasts nesting in the ruins than he had imagined. He deduced that this winter would probably be particularly cold, so much so that these beasts would have to rely on human ruins to withstand the wind and snow in order to survive the winter."
To prevent Lu Sheng from misunderstanding, Meng Lingshi added some of the things he had confirmed with Song Yan at the time: "I am also a builder who has dealt with ferocious beasts for many years, so I have some knowledge about the ecology of ferocious beasts."
After entering the Long Night era, the weather is mostly very stable, but sometimes local weather anomalies occur.
If so many ferocious beasts are building nests in the ruins of human settlements to escape the winter winds and snow, then this winter may not just be cold; there might also be some strange phenomena accompanying it.

Under Lu Sheng's puzzled gaze, Meng Lingshi picked up a pencil, wrote two large characters on the drawing, and showed them to Lu Sheng.
The paper read: Eternal Night.
