Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 150 Going and Returning

As the first batch of felled trees was sent back, both Purficott and Foster couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Although these freshly cut trees contain a lot of water and are not easy to burn, and forced ignition will produce a lot of smoke, it is always better than nothing.

And they still have some coal and dry firewood reserves. They can light the fire first, and then put the wet wood aside to dry and burn. It can still be burned.

For the current fjord camp, having firewood is the most important thing, and other things can be considered later.

"Grandpa Afu, you can organize people to further process this wood. It is best to dry it before using it, or build a charcoal kiln to make charcoal." Perfectcott explained to Foster, and she herself planned to Follow the airship to Xinshak City: "I want to follow the airship to Xinshak City. I am not sure about the medical conditions there. I will take half of the maids in the warehouse with me. Beifa I’ll take Mikhail and Mikhail away too, so you can keep an eye on this side.”

"Don't worry, Miss, the situation now is much better than when I fought with the master. As long as there is enough firewood and food, there will be no problem." Foster saw a steady stream of wood being sent back. After the camp, the whole person was relieved: "On the other hand, Miss You, it is too dangerous without the protection of steam knights or big knights."

In Foster's view, the last time Purficott was assassinated in New Shaker City was enough to illustrate the dangers of the New World colonies.

Even though she carried out a major purge of New Shake City, it still did not reduce the city's danger level in Foster's mind, so he was not worried about Perficott going to New Shake City without an escort.

"Now all the steam riders have their tasks. Only they can quickly open the railway line under such weather conditions and cut down trees to provide firewood. If I take them away, it will affect the operation of the camp." Purfe Kurt didn't care too much about this, and she wasn't completely unprotected: "And Samantha will bring the guard knights to protect me, plus Befa, my safety will not be a problem.

Compared to this, I feel like even the hospital in Longton is taking human life lightly, let alone the New World.

If I didn't go there in person and send these seriously injured and sick people there, I'm afraid none of them would survive. "

"Okay, Miss, since you insist so much, I won't say anything, but please be sure to pay attention to your safety!" Foster heard that Perfectcott said that he would bring the knights with him, so he did not stop him anymore. .

Purficott nodded upon seeing this, and then said: "I'll leave it to you, Grandpa Afu, to take care of things here. Not only the fjord camp, but also the Eagle Beak Cliff base and the coal mine. You should also pay more attention. I won't I hope no more people die.”

Death is something that Purficott has long expected, but although she doesn't care about individual sacrifices, she doesn't want her precious life to be consumed like this. This is not what she wants to see.

Purficott did not really take her own safety seriously. While she had people transferring the seriously injured and sick patients to the airship, she also moved those in the warehouse that were shut down due to lack of fuel. The maid puppets have been rebooted, and a few of them have been given some tweaks.

Then, she took these maid dolls to the warehouse where the Steam Knight armor parts were placed, assembled five more sets of the remaining twenty sets of armor parts, and put them on the maid dolls she had adjusted.

For Purficott, both the maid puppet and the steam knight are her works, and it is not too difficult to make temporary adjustments to the two.

And the maid doll she uses herself can exert the fighting power of a formal knight. After slight adjustments, it is not a problem to temporarily replace the wearer of the steam knight armor.

It's just that the mechanical logic of ordinary maid puppets is a bit sluggish, and she didn't write a set of instructions for them on how to control the steam knight. It's too late to write it now, so she can only improvise. Fortunately, she was familiar enough with both, so she could let the maid put on the Steam Knight armor to show off, just for fun.

As for more, Purficott has no time to think about it for the time being, and now is not the time to think about it.

Returning to the airship, Purficott checked the sick and wounded who were brought on board and saw that they were all well placed before ordering the captain to take off again.

--------------

The airship flew on the road for nearly a day and a night, and arrived in Xinshak City in the evening of the next day.

Purficott's departure and return shocked many people. This eldest lady was a big trouble in the eyes of some people. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a living ancestor. Her departure and return made these people People couldn't help but curse in their hearts, thinking that she was just looking for trouble.

But they cursed in their hearts. Faced with the Lord of the North and the Earl of Pioneer, who was still accompanied by several steam knights, they still had no choice but to respectfully meet all her demands.

Even if Purficott's request was to free up a floor of the largest hospital in New Shaker City to accommodate the sick and wounded she brought, the hospital could only comply.

To this world, hospitals are a new thing that only appeared after the invention of the steam engine.

Although the empire has established a relatively professional medical system with clear division of labor over the past few decades, it needs to be pointed out that most hospitals in this era were not established by professional doctors.

Take the original five hospitals in Langton City as an example. One of them was built with royal donations, and the other two hospitals were founded by bankers and nobles, neither of whom were medical practitioners with professional knowledge.

Although these early hospitals were equipped with a relatively strong team of doctors and relatively advanced medical care conditions, it must be pointed out that before the concepts of anesthesia and disinfection were proposed, the hospital was not so much a place to treat diseases. It's a giant bacterial petri dish.

After all, these early hospitals mostly followed the functions of the "hospital" established by the church before the steam era. They were mainly responsible for admitting and caring for patients. They did not have much treatment capabilities, and even the doctors were not full-time.

However, even Purficott had to admit that the establishment of these early hospitals did greatly promote the development of the medical field. At least some hospitals in Langton cooperated with medical schools, and doctors' clinical teaching began to appear, which greatly contributed to the development of the medical field. Promoted the development of medicine.

However, there is no concept of disinfection, which makes the hygienic situation of the hospital very bad. Cross-infection and various inflammations are rampant. In many cases, the hospital worsens the condition of the patients.

　Beginning in the 18th century, the emergence of hospitals in the modern sense has indeed greatly promoted the development of medicine. This must be admitted, but without the concept of disinfection, hospitals are really dangerous. I remember that the mortality rate of newborns and pregnant women in British hospitals was high because of infection problems.
