Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 16 New Plan
  Because it was getting late, Princess Anne did not go back to the city at night, but stayed at Brandleys Manor for the night.

This was actually not the first time for her. She had been a frequent visitor to this manor when Purficott's mother was still alive.

However, as Purphycott's mother died three years ago, Purphycott dismissed the servants of the manor and refused all aristocratic social interactions, so Princess Anne came less frequently.

However, she was still very familiar with Brandless Manor and had no discomfort with spending the night here. She quickly fell asleep under the service of the maid puppet.

It had been a tiring day today, and even with her extraordinary physique, she couldn't bear it anymore.

While Princess Anne was sleeping, Purficott was adjusting her plan. With the support of the royal family, the situation she faced was completely different, and the original plan was naturally no longer applicable.

Not to mention anything else, just the Royal Shipyard and Royal Alchemy Workshop under the royal family's name can provide great help to Purficott.

Lack of cold-resistant materials? You can entrust an alchemy workshop under the royal family's name to produce it, or you can invite scholars from universities established or sponsored by the royal family to conduct research.

Missing an airship? Just let the Royal Dockyard produce it. Three large slipways used to build cruisers are enough to build at least five large airships in nine months.

As for finding a suitable location in the New World to build a shelter? Although the Imperial Exploration Company does not have a royal title, it is still a royal industry. They have quite detailed exploration information on the New World.

Even for the construction of shelters, construction companies, steel companies, and mining companies under the royal family all have branches in the New World colonies, which can fully meet any of Purficott's needs.

It has to be said that in the imperial era when imperial power was stable, the resources that the royal family could use were astonishing.

It's just that under normal circumstances, the royal family will not easily use these industries to do anything. After all, the income from these industries is also an important pillar to maintain the daily expenses of the royal family. If something goes wrong and the royal family's expenses need to be reduced, the problem will be very serious. .

And on the other hand, with the political reform of the empire, the country has already developed from the emperor's decision-making stage to the stage of parliamentary democracy. If the royal family shows its existence too much and makes too many big noises, it will not be good for the parliament. a good thing.

They will jump out and oppose it vigorously, even if it is only the private property of the royal family.

But now...Perficott unfolded the document written by the Queen herself. It clearly stated that the Queen appointed Perficott to be the plenipotentiary envoy of the royal family, responsible for presiding over and promoting the "Arctic Scientific Expedition" project, which can be called All resources in the name of the royal family.

For this reason, the Queen specially gave her the title of Baroness to facilitate her convenience.

"With these, my original plan can be brought out again." Purficott took out a document from a hidden drawer on the desk. This was exactly what she had done to deal with before being ridiculed by the noble council. Plans for this disaster.

At that time, Purficott was still ambitious, hoping to mobilize the power of the entire empire to deal with this disaster, save more ordinary people, and after surviving the first stage of great changes in the disaster, he could end this disaster. The source of disaster and save the whole world.

But the ridicule of the noble council made her clearly realize that uniting mankind is a task even more difficult than reaching the sky. So after that, Perfectcott gave up his original salvation plan and turned his mind to just thinking about how to survive.

But now that she has the full support of the royal family, she can modify the original salvation plan to enhance its feasibility and make it more in line with current reality.

"Low-temperature-resistant materials and quick construction...it seems like something is missing?" Purficott scratched his chin with the end of his quill, and couldn't help but frowned: "Ah! I remembered it! It's the insulation material of the house! In addition to being able to cover it quickly in low-temperature environments, it also needs effective insulation methods!”

At temperatures as low as tens of degrees below zero, if the house cannot be insulated, it is probably no different from an ice cellar.

"Insulation materials can also be developed by entrusting scientists and alchemists to work together. I remember that the insulation materials developed by humans before time travel were aerogel and honeycomb foam structures? No matter what they are, let those scientists and alchemists go bald!" Purfey When Kurt said this, the pen in his hand did not stop and he continued to modify some details of the plan.

However, after writing this article, Purficott seemed to have fallen into difficulties and entanglements.

"Bathing, food, housing, and transportation. Of these four items, I can now solve the 'transportation' problem. The 'housing' part can be left to the recruited scientists and alchemists. The next step is 'clothing' and 'food'." Purficott muttered. Put the quill back into the ink bottle.

Clothing and food are actually similar to the other two items. They both need to solve the problem of keeping warm from the cold.

If a material could be developed that could be used both for building skins and for making clothes, it would be able to solve most of the problems that plague food, clothing, housing and transportation with one stone.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expect that one material can solve multiple aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation problems.

But generally speaking, the solutions to these problems are consistent in terms of solution ideas, and they all have the sole purpose of preventing cold and keeping warm.

"So the first step is to study cold-proof materials?" Purficott continued writing on the paper. She was not very worried about this aspect.

This world is different from the world before she traveled. Although the overall world process is very different, the existence of extraordinary people and alchemy in this world has led to great differences in many details between the two worlds. gap.

For example, in the research and development of materials science, the world before Purficott's time travel mainly relied on the progress of materials science and the "award winning" of relevant scientific researchers.

But in this world, what about alchemy?
  As long as the principle of equivalent exchange is not violated, alchemists can do many incredible things, and the performance of the alchemical materials themselves is also outrageous.

If it weren't for the fact that the cost of alchemy is too high and cannot compare with the skyrocketing productivity and efficiency after industrial mass production, the things this world can do and the achievements it achieves are far better than those in the world before Perfection traveled through. Better come.

"In this case, first entrust... No, we should set up a separate scientific research team to be responsible for the research and development of new materials." Purficott finally made up his mind and decided to first convene a group of scientists and alchemists in the name of the royal family, and then Let them research what she wants first.
