Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 118 Elevator

Perfectcott did not immediately give Oliver the development document. Although she could indeed write it now, she had not been officially canonized as the Guardian of the North at this time, and the relevant seals and other things had not been taken over. How many development documents were written? Still somewhat informal.

After all, this is her first vassal, and Purficott still hopes to make it more formal, and she also needs to discuss it with the old housekeeper.

Of course, the most important thing is that Purficott hopes to canonize his first vassal at the ceremony where he is officially canonized as the Guardian of the North. This will not only have a more ceremonial feel, but also show his majesty to the world.

At the very least, she is not a mere commander without even a retainer.

Although as long as Purficott is willing, there will be a lot of people who want to join her at any time.

Even if the North is really poor and has nothing, it also means that there are no old aristocratic forces entrenched in the North. Everything is a new beginning and a blank picture waiting to be painted.

This will be an excellent opportunity for many people who are interested in becoming a noble or proving their abilities.

In fact, Purficott did consider whether to return to Longton to recruit some talents.

After all, the army is easy to deal with. Among the empire's huge military operations, she can quickly assemble a usable army by randomly assigning a few troops to herself, or simply assigning a number to her to form.

After all, the army in the first industrial revolution era was just transformed from a classical army to a modern army. It did not actually have many requirements for the quality and training level of its soldiers.

The soldiers that countries can recruit in this era are basically not good people, and most of them are not even farmers.

After all, farmers can still farm and pay taxes for the country. But most of these soldiers are people who don't even have land, formal jobs and stable incomes. They join the army when they can't make ends meet.

In the original world, countries began to reform their military systems, optimize their soldiers, and improve their military's combat quality only after Napoleon proposed the all-military service system.

So for Purficott, even if what she brings out is only at the level of university military training, there is no problem if she wants to train an army that is passable in this era.

After all, in the era of queuing to kill, the most important thing is discipline. As long as this is guaranteed, everything else is easy.

But administrative staff are not so easy to get together, or relatively speaking, not so easy to get together.

Although the empire has a large civil service force, and Langton's universities continue to send qualified graduates to the empire every year, recruiting them is much more difficult than recruiting a group of big soldiers.

If the big-headed soldiers can't be recruited, they can still use prisoners and street gangs to make up for their numbers, but qualified internal affairs bureaucrats can't make do.

However, considering the large number of nobles in the empire and the fact that not everyone who graduates from Langton every year can find a suitable job, Purficott is not worried about whether he can recruit suitable officials and staff. .

She was more worried about whether the people she recruited were trustworthy enough to allow Perficott to trust them with the task at this critical moment in dealing with the coming apocalypse.

And whether they can still maintain their loyalty when the end comes, instead of having undue thoughts due to the great changes in the world.

This question is not just for those who may be recruited by her in the future, but also for everyone else involved in the Empire's plan to deal with the end of the world.

The human heart is always the most inestimable existence in this world, whether it is good or evil, good or bad. Perfectcott doesn't want to test people's hearts. She will use methods more in line with the alchemist's style to ensure that she will not be affected by this.

The airship carried everyone back to the Eagle Beak Cliff Advanced Base, and everyone who followed Purficott here also saw this place for the first time.

What surprised most people was that the Eagle Beak Cliff Base was not as crude, or as bad, as they imagined.

Although looking down from the sky, you will feel that the houses here are extremely low and there are not even roads, but you can still see that there is a good architectural plan, the functional zoning is clear, and the houses and buildings have been built and planned. The narrow gauge railway in China is also under construction as expected.

Although everything seemed not to be called prosperous, it was just in order and seemed to be quite prosperous.

What's strange is that the buildings here all have huge spires and are very low at the same time. It looks like the designer only designed the spire when designing the spire and forgot about the tower body.

Apart from these weird buildings, everything else at the Eagle Beak Cliff base looks normal.

The airship landed on Eagle Beak Cliff, which has been transformed into a docking platform by Purficott, specially used for parking the airship.

Next to the airship parking platform is a huge elevator driven by steam to transport cargo and people.

This can be regarded as one of the facilities set up by Purficott with foresight. Although Eagle Beak Cliff is not high, it is still inconvenient to climb up and down. If large quantities of airships are used to transport goods from here in the future, they must be transported by manpower or animal power. Loading and unloading cargo is obviously not very realistic.

But when this thing is in operation, the huge roar of steam and the sound of metal friction make it look more like some kind of monster than an elevator.

Purficott considered optimizing its usage experience, but she was so busy with various things that she didn't take time out.

But after taking a look at the alchemists who came down from the airship with him, Purficott thought for a while and said to them: "Can any of you solve the problem of excessive noise in this elevator?"

"I can! I can optimize its structure and improve its lifting method to reduce the noise!" A young alchemist quickly raised his hand to say that he could do it.

Purficott noticed that he had a technician's badge on his collar.

Others are not far behind and have come up with their own solutions. It seems that no one is willing to express their incompetence on this issue.

Purficott nodded slightly and then said: "I will give you a chance. Each of you will submit a proposal. I will decide your division of labor in my laboratory based on your proposal."

After saying that, Purficott took the lead in walking into the elevator without waiting for any reaction from them.

In a sense, this big guy that roars and spits out white steam is actually quite steampunk romantic.
