Under Perfikot's direct supervision, the construction of the Energy Tower progressed very smoothly.
The various component factories were successfully completed, and there were no problems with recruiting and training workers, although some individuals with ulterior motives tried to sneak in, attempting to incite events such as worker movements to attract Perfikot's attention.
However, for Perfikot, who already understood worker movements and could even write manifestos for them, such disturbances weren't even enough to occupy her leisure time.
Therefore, those who attempted to create trouble in this matter mostly ended up as filling in the prison cells, adding quite an experience for subsequent inmates.
During the construction, this new design naturally gave the construction teams quite a headache, as such a complex structure was indeed something they had never seen before.
After all, this was something considered a major project even in the 21st century of the original world, somewhat daunting for the workers of the 18th century.
But Perfikot did not give them any room to refuse, instead she firmly implemented the entire construction project.
Of course, she wasn't reckless and broke down all the design drawings, refining them to a level that these workers could understand and comprehend, then had them only responsible for that part.
Using this method, Perfikot divided the construction teams into several groups, each group only responsible for the part they needed to build, allowing them to focus on understanding their needed work content, correspondingly improving their construction qualification rate.
However, this also presented an efficiency problem, as group-based construction required each group to spend more time familiarizing and understanding their work content, naturally affecting the construction progress to some extent.
This did not pose a problem for Perfikot though; since the construction time for individual units was extended, she simply increased the number of simultaneous construction units.
She implemented a three-shift system at the Energy Tower construction site, dividing the 24-hour workday into three parts, each construction group spending six hours familiarizing themselves with the day's work content, followed by eight hours of work, then eight hours of rest, and the remaining two hours for meals.
Rotating the three shifts, one group would finish work while another started, ensuring workers constantly worked around the clock for the entire day.
Coupled with Perfikot's strong coordination skills, the construction progress on site became incredibly smooth and streamlined, ensuring the overall construction was indeed not slow.
Of course, all this was contingent upon construction costs and human resources far exceeding normal levels, along with the decisive role played by Perfikot, this powerful organizer.
Under these circumstances, this enormous Energy Tower gradually began to take shape.
The core of the Energy Tower was underground, with the main body consisting of a circulation device capable of accommodating over a hundred thousand tons of cooling water, composed of six cooling circulation systems each capable of processing six thousand tons per hour, and a giant water tank.
The tank stores circulating water that has been cooled after releasing heat in the heat dissipation cycle, which is then re-injected underground by twelve booster pumps to be reheated using geothermal energy.
After being heated, the hot water is extracted from underground by another twelve pumps, then delivered to six cooling circulation systems for depressurization, evaporation cooling, rapid condensation under pressure, and returning to liquid state in the storage tank.
It would then be re-injected underground, forming a repetitive cycle.
The giant water tank used for storage is the easiest to manufacture, as pressure vessels, despite being challenging in this world, aren't impossible to construct.
Especially underground, utilizing the strata to stabilize pressure is a feasible approach.
However, for safety reasons, Perfikot didn't construct the storage tank as a pressure vessel, instead designing it as an open water trough. Yet, because it stores at least ten thousand tons of circulating water, the pressure at the bottom of the pool is quite extraordinary.
Thus, Perfikot paid significant attention to the construction of the pool, personally adjusting and improving the cement formula used, and proposing several designs to enhance the load-bearing capability of concrete structures.
Compared to these, the cooling circulation systems for releasing heat are somewhat complicated, mainly because the radiators required are not so easy to manufacture.
"No good, the seal doesn't meet the standard, take it back and redo." Perfikot inspected the radiator components delivered, and upon confirming the seal didn't meet her requirements, unhesitatingly had them taken away.
Observing the subtle impatience on the merchant's face, Perfikot coldly warned: "I'm only giving you one last chance. If the next batch still doesn't meet the standards, I'll make you into new parts. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel-fire.ɴet
Trust me, even if I turn you into a radiator, I can ensure you're alive and have ten times more sensitive senses than now. I hardly need to remind you how you'll feel when that hot water releases heat in the radiator, do I?"
As the radiator manufacturer, the supplier knew that the radiators built needed to withstand working temperatures as high as 150°C, at which point humans would be cooked within minutes.
Even the dissipated steam could scald a person.
During previous tests, a worker accidentally got half of his body scalded off.
If Perfikot were to make him into a radiator while alive, with magnified senses...
The supplier turned green with fear; the thought of experiencing what it's like to be steamed daily was horrifying.
He hurriedly assured Perfikot: "There won't be a next time! Rest assured, I will do my utmost to deliver qualified components!"
Saying this, he fled, as if chased by a dog, dragging away the radiator components he delivered with lightning speed.
Watching the fleeing supplier, Perfikot touched her nose, then turned to gaze at the ground cooling structure of the now partially completed Energy Tower behind her, where a half-bodied humanoid relief merged into the metal casing attracted quite some attention.
This relief was alive and constantly emitted miserable wails, reminiscent of an ancient terrifying punishment known as the bronze bull.
This was a scoundrel who did not supply goods according to Perfikot's requirements and dared to confront her.
Handling such a typical case compelled other suppliers to not play tricks to avoid sharing his fate.
"Sure enough, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys is effective." Perfikot nodded with satisfaction, though this thing looked quite terrifying, its effect was indeed remarkable.
