Chapter 235: Space-Time Gate
Although the ancient city is very large and has many houses, there’s one obvious shortcoming: its buildings are mainly single-story. After all, they are of ancient architecture, not like modern buildings that rise several stories high, enabling them to accommodate several times more people. Thus, facing a rapidly growing population, the Space-Time Base started to experience a housing shortage.
Han Yi hummed softly and asked, "Has the survey report for that residential area I had people inspect last time been submitted?"
"It’s in my hands, and the results on the report look good... The community covers an area of 120,000 square meters, with a total building area of 160,000 square meters, mainly consisting of multistory apartment buildings..."
The residential area the two were talking about is a high-end housing complex located to the southeast of the ancient city, named "Qilin Manor." Because of its proximity to the ancient city and picturesque views, its selling price was very high, but before many units could be sold, the apocalyptic world arrived.
What’s most important is that Qilin Manor has its own heating boiler room; if people could move in, it would at least solve the housing problem for five thousand people.
The reason this complex was only being considered now is due to its remoteness. The survey data showed a straight-line distance of 1,200 meters, with a green belt in between.
The ancient city is protected architecture, and construction of buildings isn’t allowed within one kilometer of its perimeter.
Qilin Manor is located just a bit more than one kilometer away. Don’t underestimate this one kilometer; just for this one kilometer, the number of patrol personnel had to be more than tripled. After all, it wasn’t inside the ancient city, which is protected by tall city walls that make both surveillance and management very convenient.
Han Yi was listening to Lu Changyuan report on the progress of the project and heard the sound of soft footsteps approaching. He lowered his eyes and saw Han Jiaojiao, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket and walking over with sleepy eyes.
Holding her with one arm, Han Yi placed her on his lap and continued speaking on the phone, "...Yeah, right, there are already two ice bridges, and my plan is to extend the base perimeter by two kilometers."
