Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 13 Temporary intention
  "Why? Since you have a solution, why do you say it won't help?" Princess Anne asked puzzledly, and then she seemed to have thought of something, so she said to Purficott: "Is it power or resources? If you need it, I can convince my mother to fully support you and grant you queen privileges!"

Queen's Privilege, the highest power that the royal family of the Victoria Empire can grant to their subjects.

In the past, this was only awarded to those heroes who were called upon to save the Empire during its most critical moments.

Obviously, in the eyes of Princess Anne, this incident can be compared with the critical moments that the empire has experienced in the past, and Perfectcott is the person she thinks can save the empire in this crisis.

But Purficott shook his head and said: "No, the news about this disaster cannot be leaked now, it will cause panic in society. Before everything is irreversible, we need a stable empire to maintain various resources. Raising and dispatching.

But concealing the truth about people's affairs means that we can only mobilize social resources covertly, and the energy we can use is limited.

For a disaster like this that requires all-out efforts to deal with, the limited resources can only achieve a drop in the bucket, that is, the empire can only save a small number of people and must abandon the vast majority of people.

In three years, the temperature in the entire empire will drop to minus 40 degrees. By then, Langton City will be as cold as the North Pole, and everyone will freeze to death!

We have neither the time nor the resources to help them, even just to keep them alive a little longer. "

When Purficott said this, she couldn't help but clenched her hands so hard that her knuckles turned white.

Princess Anne noticed this scene, gently reached out her hand, smoothed Purfict's clenched fingers, and comforted her: "This is not your fault, if the empire can realize it when you warn them The seriousness of the problem means that we will not fall into the passive situation we are now.”

Obviously, the consequence of the Imperial Council's ignoring Perficott's warning was that the Empire wasted almost an entire year.

"Those civilians..." Purficott looked at her slender hands. Although her reason told her that she should give up those civilians, the strong emotions surging in her heart still made her say to Princess Anne: "They need to be able to withstand the cold and cold. Warm houses also need city-level heating systems to ensure that they will not be directly frozen to death in low-temperature environments.

In addition, they also need greenhouses that can be used to grow crops in extremely cold climates so that they can get enough food.

Nothing can be grown on land at minus 40 degrees Celsius. The low temperature will freeze all crops to death. We can only artificially create an environment that can be cultivated indoors to obtain enough crops.

These are not just what they need, the empire must do these things if it wants to resist the disaster caused by this catastrophe. "

Having said this, Purficott shook his head helplessly, feeling a kind of powerless despair: "But the empire has no technical accumulation in these aspects at all! This is simply like letting an aristocratic dude who knows nothing, now It’s like going to the Arctic wilderness to survive without bringing anything! There is no other possibility except freezing to death...” ˆ ˆ ˆ Surviving in a low temperature environment of dozens of degrees below zero is indeed like surviving in the polar environment in the wilderness.

A solid shelter, reliable heating, and adequate food and supplies are all indispensable.

To achieve these three points, even if Purficott traveled to the previous world, it was quite challenging, let alone a world with only the technological level of the first industrial revolution.

Even if there was alchemy in this world, Purficott could only say that he would be able to survive the extreme cold in three years.

There was no guarantee that she would be able to survive for a long time as the temperature dropped further.

Princess Anne could understand Purficott's powerlessness and despair. After all, in the face of such a world-destroying disaster, what could she, a little girl, do? Being able to warn the empire in advance, Purficott has done enough for the empire.

However, at this moment, Purficott seemed to suddenly think of something. She looked at Princess Anne, and there seemed to be some hope in her eyes: "Auntie Anne, can you express it publicly in a high-profile manner and sponsor it in the name of the royal family?" Do I go on a long-term Arctic scientific expedition?”

Although it cannot be said that the questions asked by Purficott are completely unrelated to the problems they need to face at the moment, they are certainly not closely related.

So when Purficott asked this question, Princess Anne was confused, but she still answered seriously: "Yes, if you need it, I can even convince your mother to let her use the royal power to I will provide you with nominal funding, but as for the amount... I should be able to get you one hundred thousand gold pounds, which is what you deserve."

In Princess Anne's view, even just the fact that Perficott warned the empire of disaster was enough for the Queen to confer a title on her, not to mention just borrowing the royal name.

"One hundred thousand gold pounds is not enough, but if the royal family takes the lead in donating, it should be easier to raise funds." Princess Anne was even more puzzled by Purficott's words, but she quickly explained to the princess: "Since If you cannot let the common people know the news of the disaster for the time being, then use a fake news to cover up the truth of the matter! In the name of the royal family’s support for Arctic scientific expeditions, we will mobilize relevant resources, manpower and technical strength!
  What you need to prepare for an Arctic scientific expedition is largely the same as what you need to prepare for this disaster! The preparations required for a scientific expedition to the North Pole can completely overlap with the preparations for this disaster. We can completely use this to let the empire's scientists study these!

Moreover, in the name of building an advance base, we also selected a place in the New World to directly hoard resources and build an initial shelter! In this way, sufficient resources can be mobilized to prepare for this disaster under limited conditions that must be kept secret! "

At this point, the more Purficott thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible.

Princess Anne immediately understood Purficott's idea, and she said excitedly: "In the name of technical verification, we can also transform the slums in the empire and provide them with houses and clothing that can keep out the cold. They can survive in the face of disaster!"
