Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 113 Recruiting Assistants

Under Purficott's order, the people from the construction company spent a few days quickly building a laboratory for her, and with the help of alchemy, the laboratory was quickly put into use.

Purficott currently has three projects to study, namely steam turbines developed based on heavy water, synthetic fibers based on synthetic resin technology, and industrial mass production of carbon foam materials.

The simplest among them is naturally the industrial mass production of carbon foam. After all, Perficott has the elastic sponge preparation method and aerogel-related theories. Although it is indeed difficult to achieve industrial mass production, for an alchemy master, It's just a little more effort.

Relatively speaking, the most difficult aspect of research is the development of synthetic fibers.

Although there are technologies related to synthetic resins and synthetic compounds, and the relationship between alchemy and chemistry is still father and son, in theory this should be a very simple matter.

But it cannot be said that the technological development of this world is on the path of alchemy. Chemistry... is not separated from alchemy.

In the original world before time travel, chemistry and other theoretical disciplines had to wait until after the first industrial revolution to usher in a wave of vigorous development, gradually transforming from empiricism into systematic disciplines.

The world is now in the period of the first industrial revolution. If there is no deviation in the development history of science and technology in the two worlds, it will not be until after the first industrial revolution that science and technology will usher in a wave of major breakthroughs and enter the stage of theoretical synthesis. new stage.

Before this, if you wanted to systematically study a certain subject, it would be a bit too much.

To study chemical fiber under such objective conditions, it does not mean that Purficott cannot do it, but that she must spend a lot of time and energy to make up for the lack of system theory through her research.

Of course, she can also ignore it and directly use alchemy to make chemical fibers that meet her needs.

After all, the synthetic resin has been kneaded out, and there is no shortage of synthetic fiber.

But after all, this is just a castle-in-the-air development. There is no way to form a systematic discipline, and there is no way for others to expand along her research ideas.

Even though the omniscient eye can provide relevant theoretical knowledge, most of this knowledge is scattered and unsystematic, and she still needs to organize and summarize it.

So for Purficott, although the threshold for chemical fiber development is not high, it is really troublesome.

On the contrary, it is a steam turbine. Purficott has accumulated a certain degree of accumulation in this research, and also knows how to implement it. All that is left is to spend time doing experiments, establish an initial model, and then continuously improve it until it obtains the order. The finished product you are satisfied with can be enough.

But no matter which project, for Purficott, it requires a huge investment of time and energy, and a large number of repeated experiments.

This made her feel a little emotional. No wonder the professors in the original world liked to use research animals so much. This kind of repetitive work really made people tired both mentally and physically, especially mentally.

After all, doing the same thing a thousand times can be really mind-numbing.

Therefore, Purficott had to restart all his maid puppets and put them in the laboratory, using them to assist him in completing a large number of repetitive tasks.

At the same time, Purficott, who had received the title of earl of the Northern Territory, did not forget to use his identity to send a telegram back to Langton in the name of the Arctic scientific expedition project, asking to recruit volunteers who were willing to come to the Northern Territory. author and assistant in alchemy.

It's not that she has to look far and near to recruit people from the mainland, but it's just that the New World really can't recruit assistants that satisfy her. After all, a set of basic alchemy equipment can be left idle in a university. One can only imagine how low the level of education in the New World is.

Before the recruited assistants arrived, Purficott could only carry on by himself and control the maid puppet to complete the research work.

Although most of the experiments have to be done by himself, for Purficott, this is just a little tiring.

She was also the only one who developed the Steam Knight Armor and the Airship before. Didn't she complete these two world-changing studies on her own?

Now, for Purficott, it is just a reenactment of his past research life.

The heavy research work of three projects stacked together still allowed her to complete the industrial preparation of carbon sponge before the arrival of winter, so that the construction team of the construction company could add most of the buildings in time before the completion of the forward base. A layer of carbon sponge sandwich is applied.

"Very good, the indoor temperature is 5℃ higher than the outdoor temperature, and the insulation effect is good." Purficott glanced at the thermometer in his hand and was very satisfied with it.

The thermal insulation effect of carbon sponge is of course more than a 5°C temperature difference, but it is not completely winter yet. This kind of thermal insulation effect is indeed very good when there is no fire indoors.

"Congratulations, Miss, your plan seems to be going very smoothly." Foster still accompanied Perfectcott, feeling sincerely happy and proud of her achievements.

"I can't talk about it. I can only say that it's going according to my expectations." Purficott was not happy about this, but felt that things were not satisfactory: "And if everything goes well, Mr. Andrew should now The parts for the Steam Knight Armor that I need were sent to me, but they haven’t arrived yet, which will affect my plans.”

According to Purficott's original plan, it was not just the Steam Knight armor parts that Andrew was responsible for that should be delivered at this time.

But whether it was the Steam Knight Armor parts or other things that Purficott had expected, none of them arrived as she expected, which made Purficott feel very annoyed.

Not to mention, there has been no new news from the local area.

There is no news about the title of Guardian of the North promised to her by the Duke of Gloucester, or the knights and guards that should be given to her.

The only thing that pleased her was that after sending the Duke of Gloucester back to the mainland, her airship tried to fly directly back to the North instead of turning around from the New World, thereby opening up an air route.

This route reduces the time required from the mainland to the northern border to two and a half days.

You know, in this era, even the fastest ship would take at least ten days to reach the New World from the Old World, and it could only be done by taking the shortest southern route.

But now, Purficott's airship can shorten the time to one-fifth. You can imagine how amazing this is.

The opening of this route has provided considerable convenience for the connection between the northern border and the mainland. At least Perficott is now considering whether he should go back to the mainland before winter to see what the situation is like in the mainland. In addition, Urging the Duke of Gloucester.
