Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 107 The airship arrives

In the next half month, Purficott saw the mother bear with her cubs many times. Once, the cub even ran into the camp, almost causing the mother bear to break into the camp in anger.

Fortunately, Samantha discovered the little bear in time and, under the arrangement of Purficott, sent the little bear back to the forest in time without causing unnecessary consequences.

"Miss, it's just a bear, and you seem to be too accommodating to it." Foster didn't like that bear, or in his opinion, the existence of the female bear had threatened Perfecticot's safety.

He had previously suggested sending knights to remove or drive away the bear, but they were all rejected by Purficott.

Although a bear does pose a great threat to humans, even experienced hunters are usually reluctant to provoke a bear, especially a female bear with cubs, but this does not mean that it can defeat a knight.

"There's no need for that. As you said, this is just a bear. It won't cause us any trouble. There's no need to kill it." Perficott didn't care about this and just waved his hand and said: "With the establishment of the forward base, human activities will drive it away from here. We just need to complete the construction of the forward base."

In the past half month, the exploration work has been basically completed, and in compliance with Purficott's wishes, a camp has been established at Eagle Beak Cliff.

Different from the temporary camps built on the fjord tidal flats, the camps built here at Eagle Beak Cliff were designed to be permanent camps from the beginning.

So it took half a month to give the camp a rough look, but the construction was not very complete.

After all, according to Purficott's plan, this camp was to be used for the entire winter. Neither the wooden house nor the tent obviously had this capability.

Fortunately, the construction company on Sweet Berry Island has completed the construction of the material distribution point, and Perficott has also placed a new order with them to build an advance base here.

This commission is a very troublesome project for the construction company. After all, Purficot is located deep into the north. Both the transportation of building materials and the deployment of construction teams are very costly.

But in this matter, even the governor of the New World had no room for bargaining.

They finally arrived at the fjord with a ship full of workers and construction materials, and are currently building a dock in the fjord to facilitate the subsequent arrival of more supplies.

But in general, the construction company did not lose money, because Perficott also gave them the construction of the planned narrow-gauge railway.

Coupled with the royal family's full investment in this project, for the construction company, they may not be as profitable as other projects, but they will definitely not lose money.

If you take into account the establishment of "networks" and "relationships", in a sense, they earn more.

Of course, all this will only make sense if the world does not end in three years.

And it’s no longer three years. Three months have passed since Purficott’s journey. Now it’s autumn, and there are still about two months until winter.

Therefore, the people from the construction company must complete the construction of the forward base in the next two months, otherwise Perficott's entire plan will be affected.

After all, you can't rely on simple wooden houses and tents to survive the cold winter. Doing so will really freeze people to death. If we just want to build buildings that can withstand the cold winter, cold-proof materials are still a key problem. Perficott's development of aerogels and carbon foams has still not made progress due to limitations of experimental materials.

However, with the arrival of the airship transporting winter supplies, this was finally no longer a problem.

Because Purficott ordered a set of experimental equipment from Langton and shipped it along with the winter supplies.

And according to the encrypted message she sent back, it was transported over by the airship she left in Langton.

Originally, I was a little worried about letting the airship make this trip. After all, the airship had not been tested for long-distance voyages, and no one knew whether it could support trans-oceanic flights.

Especially in cold weather, whether it will affect the flight of the airship and how big the impact will be are questions.

But these problems need to be faced, so even though Purficott was worried that the airship would have an accident midway, she still asked the people in Langton to prepare winter supplies through a secret message, and then used the airship to transport them To the New World.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly on the way. The airship performed better than Perfectcott expected and successfully arrived at her location.

"It took half a month to arrive in the New World from the mainland, and even to the northern border. It seems that the airship is much faster than ordinary ships!" Foster has been on an airship, but he still can't imagine that this ship can actually So fast.

You must know that it took them more than ten days to reach the New World from the mainland on the White Jewel, and nearly a month to reach the northern border. Although most of the time was spent on exploration, But this is enough to illustrate the distance from the mainland to the New World and then to the north.

"They arrived at least five days later than I expected. Are they not familiar with the route?" However, Purficott was not satisfied with this result. She frowned and thought for a while, and finally decided to give up thinking and prepare instead. Just ask the people on the boat.

The airship was docked at the Eagle's Beak Cliff. An anchor chain was thrown on the top of the cliff and hooked onto the rocks to fix the airship's hull.

With the help of Foster, Perficott reached the top of the cliff. He could see that the people on the boat were trying to put a gangplank to the top of the Eagle Beak Cliff to unload the things on the boat.

However, Purficott stopped them. She asked Foster to jump onto the ship with her, and then said: "Lower the height and hang the supplies on the ship with ropes."

"Your Majesty the Baroness!" Everyone on the ship saluted Purficott. Although they had never met Purficott, they could still recognize who she was since they were assigned this mission.

Seeing that they did not lower the height of the ship according to his instructions, Purficott frowned in dissatisfaction. While walking towards the cabin, he also asked: "Who is in command on the ship? Who is the captain?"

"Your Majesty, there is someone who wants to see you, but it is not convenient for him to show up." At this time, a major wearing a navy uniform appeared in front of Purficott and whispered to her.

Purficott frowned even more, but in the end he said nothing and followed the naval lieutenant commander into the cabin of the airship.
