After Fang Ye reported the issue of the zoo's hot spring to his superiors, a prospecting team came to investigate a few days later.
After detection and appraisal, the hot spring's depth was found to be 50 meters below ground, with the highest water temperature at 70 degrees Celsius and the lowest at 40 degrees.
By digging a single well at a depth of 50 meters, the estimated daily water output could reach 200 tons, which is considered a small-sized hot spring.
However, as a lodge within the zoo, it could more than suffice, and developing an open-air bath of three to five thousand square meters posed no problem.
Fang Ye envisioned that the hotel plus hot spring area should be about three thousand square meters, with a few larger communal baths of several hundred square meters each and some private room baths. The specific details could be handed over to someone else to design.
