After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 992

The Grand Hotel was the first manual building that had an elevator. After all, the custom and other aether buildings like the hospital just had to be designed with the mechanism’s concept in mind. It’d then be built in exchange for some money and raw materials.

This was totally different from having to do it all from scratch. Fortunately, Rocky the mechanical engineer was there along with his new assistants.

The math team also helped with the calculations, making it easier for everyone to design a proper elevator using the technology they had access to.

They could make an elevator with or without electricity, but they naturally hoped to use an electric-powered one. They could now harvest both wind and hydroelectric power. Using the computers in the Research Center and the expertise of well-studied individuals, a lot of possibilities had risen.

For now though, it was still manually powered using the nearby river. Their raw materials and tech still needed some time to supply such a large amount of power to a single building.

Besides, when they could make electricity commercially available, they would not use it first on the luxury hotel—they’d power up homes and streets first!

However, even if it was manually operated and they could feel the vibrations and the mechanical sounds of the gears and the pulleys, the experience was still incredible to the aborigines who used it for the first time.

In cities, there were some similar things. Some more powerful cities even made use of magic tools and arrays—but this was a village, for goodness’ sakes!

The guests were led to their respective rooms, using the keyhole mechanism to access the inside.

Pieto came alone and took a room. No matter what, it was weird to have a dude as a +1.

In any case, he focused on maximizing his stay here, and he was intent on remembering all the details. He was a business-minded individual whose instinct was to analyze business models. By default, he’d be studying this place’s ’selling points’. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

The inns, especially the premier inn, were actually very good already. But the Hotel definitely took it to a different level altogether.

The smallest room was larger than the double room of the inn, the decorations were much more high-end and grand yet relaxing. The bed was bigger, softened, and the fabric felt like it was made of… silk?

Silk!

How luxurious!

Although Pieto didn’t know this, Alterra actually had a small farm of Silk Trees in the territory.

It was one of the plants that had been growing in the greenhouses so, even during the Heat Wave, the Silk Trees grew well under the care of Althea and Thorance. They particularly liked it because it was a good alternative to killing thousands of worms for a few threads.

However, the amount wasn’t enough to create hundreds of bolts of the fabric, as the hotel would’ve needed if they chose to go that path. The fabric they used now wasn’t pure silk but a combination, but it was still far superior and luxurious than the usual fabrics they used.

There were also carpets and rugs that delineated an area to another, and each room had a shower and a tub. There was also a lovely fragrance permeating, and it was a scent that made people feel relaxed.
