Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 240 Sector Design
When talking about prefabricated building modules, we have to mention prefabricated houses.

In addition to the strong industrial strength and infrastructure capabilities as support for this powerful technology that can build a hospital in a few days in the original world, the excellence of this technology itself must also be mentioned.

All functional modules are prefabricated and assembled in the factory. You only need to level the ground and install the necessary foundation pile holes on site, and then you can build a house in a very short time. It can be said that it is very useful in emergency situations. A practical quick construction technique.

And the built house is by no means a one-time simple house. If necessary, the house built by this kind of prefabricated module can even be used for many years.

The most famous of these prefabricated modular houses is the Khrushchev House in the former Soviet Union. Although it is very crude from the perspective of later generations, and can even be described as crudely made, at the time it was so fast. The technology of building buildings did solve the housing problem of the Soviet people to a considerable extent.

So much so that this technology was even introduced to China, and a large number of Khrushchev Towers were built.

Although it was ugly, it was really practical and at least solved the social problems of housing in the Soviet Union and China at that time.

And before Purficott traveled through time, there was another joke that was not a bad joke, that is, the Khrushchev House is a small, simple residential building that uses prefabricated modules. Many people think that this kind of building is shoddy and must be of poor quality. .

However, these old things have withstood the test of seventy years and are still standing today. Even when the two traitors in the Soviet Union started fighting and bombarded each other with 152mm artillery, they also withstood the test of artillery fire.

Compared with those so-called commercial buildings and residential buildings, the Khrushchev Building has proven its reliability and conscience.

So after returning to the laboratory, Purficott also pulled out new drawings and designs of underground shelters, and began to think about how to design a building model that can prefabricate modules and be easily installed, and apply it to underground shelters. is under construction.

It has no frills because of the need to save costs.

The structure is simple, which is to facilitate installation and construction. At that time, because all the modules were prefabricated in the factory, and the structure was too simple, even workers without drawings could quickly assemble them within a week. A building was built in a period of time.

However, in fact, it is not a simple matter to be able to design a low-cost architectural template that can be quickly replicated and meet the living needs of most people.

Although it is criticized by architects as a design that kills architectural aesthetics and turns architects into craftsmen. In the field of architecture, architects are no longer needed as templates. But in Purficott's view, good design can solve problems.

Therefore, Purficott did not think that this kind of building was ugly or small like others. Instead, he felt that it was a trace of an era, and he admired its design aesthetics.

Solve the problem first, and then pursue optimization.

It sounds outrageous. It is obviously a modular building that looks like an industrial assembly line. Where does the design aesthetic come from?

It has no elevator and only has five floors. The reason is that the Soviet Union stipulated that buildings above five floors must have elevators, so the Khrushchev Building only has five floors.

First of all, this should be a building model that is easy to install and low-cost like the Khrushchev Building. It does not require complex structures or gorgeous decorations, nor does it require designers to use their talents and artistic abilities. Just ensure the most basic residential needs.

So after recalling the design drawings of the Khrushchev Building that he had seen, Purficott left several parameters on the paper.

One-bedroom apartments are 30 square meters, two-bedroom apartments are 43 square meters, and three-bedroom apartments are 54 square meters. The kitchen is 6 square meters, the bathroom is 4 square meters, and the indoor clear height is 2.6 meters. These were the original design parameters of the Khrushchev Building. Each parameter was rigorously designed and calculated by the Soviet designers at the time to ensure that every centimeter of space was just right and adequate.

Of course, although the design is like this, in actual use, this size is not enough, and this is one of the most criticized aspects of the Khrushchev Building.

So after Purficott drew the layout of the Khrushchev House in her memory on paper, she enlarged the data by 20%.

Although it doesn't look like much, at least it won't be so cramped to use.

In addition to these, modifications to the building structure also had to be made. For example, a separate bathroom was necessary for the Khrushchev Building, but not so necessary for the underground shelter designed by Purficot.

After all, times are different. In the Soviet era, you said independent bathrooms were a necessity, but for workers in the 18th century, you said independent bathrooms? Luxurious.

Moreover, considering the overall design of the shelter, there is no need to design the kitchen and bathroom separately, which even increases safety risks from a certain perspective.

After all, what Purficott designed is not a city, but a shelter. Its biggest role is to solve the problem of human survival in an extremely cold doomsday environment. As for the quality of life, it is not an issue that needs to be considered now.

What's more, it's not like Perfect Court has no room for expansion. It's entirely possible to wait until the shelter is established and everything stabilizes before expanding, thereby improving the quality of life of the residents of the shelter.

Before that, think about how to survive.

So after clarifying this concept, Purficott canceled the independent kitchen and bathroom in each separate living space.

However, she still retained this part of the space, but separated it separately, and left the water supply pipes and sewer openings, leaving some room for the residents living in it.

As for the feeding and bathing needs of the shelter residents, as well as toilet issues, Purficot adopted the design of public facilities, integrating them all to provide services for an entire neighborhood.

However, according to Purficott's design plan, this may be more appropriately called a sector.

According to Purficott's design, one hundred households are designed into a fan-shaped area composed of houses of three different specifications, and then public canteens, public bathrooms and public toilets are installed in this fan-shaped area to solve the needs of residents. Daily needs.

The first-floor shelter consists of three sectors, which means that the first floor accommodates 300 families.

Of course, other public facilities will be built in addition, but according to Purficott's plan, those will be shared on the entire floor instead of being allocated to a single sector.

Based on the current calculation of 500 people in 100 households in Fjord Town, that means there will be about 1,500 people living on the first floor of the shelter.

If you want to accommodate 10,000 people, you need to build at least seven floors of such a structure.
