Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 49 Perfection, who is gradually becoming famous

No matter what impact the appearance of the Steam Knight had on the imperial military, for Purficott, there was only one thing she had to do next.

After the bar incident caused by O'Connor, the matter of the New World exploration team attracted the attention of the empire's top officials. Princess Anne even sent a team of knights to join the exploration team, responsible for the personal protection of Perficott. .

Today, Purficott has become very important to the empire, not only because of her prediction of doomsday disasters and presiding over the evacuation plan, but also because she designed the steam knight, a weapon of war.

In other words, compared with the first two, Purficott, who designed the Steam Knight, truly demonstrated her importance to the entire Victoria Empire.

Some people may not be able to understand that building war machines is more important than predicting the end of the world and saving mankind.

But in fact, there is actually no logical problem with this.

Because predicting the end of the world and presiding over the doomsday rescue plan cannot be disclosed to the public, they are absolute core secrets that need to be kept secret even among high-level officials in the empire. Only a very few people can know about this.

Otherwise, Purficott would not need to compile an Arctic scientific expedition plan as a cover-up, and promote the relevant process more seriously.

However, Steam Knight is different, it can be made public.

Although the Steam Knight itself is still a matter that needs to be kept secret, the existence of the Steam Knight can be disclosed to the entire Victoria Empire and all countries in the world, promoting the achievements of Perficott.

Because this marks that the Victoria Empire has a new weapon that can change the world. It is likely to usher in a new era like the invention of the steam engine.

After all, steam engines only liberate productivity, while steam knights are real combat power.

This is like the time when the British built the dreadnought for the first time in the original world, which ushered in the era of dreadnoughts and became the originator of modern naval battleships.

The British used tanks as a new weapon in war for the first time. Since then, tanks have become an indispensable key on the battlefield in human wars, profoundly changing the form of subsequent wars.

The same goes for Steam Rider.

Twenty horsepower is by no means a small number. Even in the original world before Purficott traveled through, many vehicles or machinery may not be able to achieve this power.

For a personal weapon, this horsepower can even be considered a bit crazy.

Not to mention the concept of power armor, even in the era when the original world has entered the third industrial revolution, it is very novel and can profoundly affect the form of warfare.

It's just that the technology of the original world cannot solve the energy problem. Otherwise, concepts such as exoskeletons and power armor, which have already appeared in science fiction works, should be put into practical application.

But in this slightly magical world, with the blessing of alchemy, Perficott achieved all of this simply by using steam power. One can imagine what kind of impact it can have on the entire world.

This is an advanced concept that is two to three hundred years ahead of its time. How could it not have an impact on the entire world? Especially since it marked the re-emergence of the age of chivalry, it was naturally supported by those conservatives who had not yet died.

The old generals in the military department took out their own coffins one by one, forcing the alchemists who were capable of making steam knights to build a technology verification machine in the shortest possible time to verify Whether Purficott's technology actually works.

To this end, they not only allocated the most sufficient resources, but also dug out all the knight armors that they originally thought could only be brought into coffins and gave them to the alchemists for transformation, hoping to renovate these old antiques into new ones. armor.

Considering that they were too old and might not have the chance to wear new armor on the battlefield, these grandfather generals also called on all their descendants to find suitable wearers for the new steam knights.

Some sons inherited their father's legacy and inherited their family's tradition of knighthood, so the best among them were selected as candidates.

Those who have reached the level of Grand Knight are naturally the best. Those who have not yet reached this level, but have the hope of reaching it, are all encouraged by these grandfathers to start working hard and strive to achieve breakthroughs in the shortest time.

And those, like Perficott's grandfather, whose heirs are not very "viable" or who have not inherited the family business, can only start to choose suitable candidates among their old friends and subordinates.

Fortunately, the steam age had not begun for many years, and the military reforms of the Victoria Empire had only just passed, so the military still retained a lot of traditions.

Although the army is no longer built around knights as in the past, there are still a large number of knights in the army, and it is not a problem to select suitable high knights.

Even the royal family was very interested in the Steam Knight. After copying a copy of Purficott's design, the royal family's alchemists began to imitate it, and specially mobilized a team of knights to cooperate. .

You must know that the Guard Knights all started as great knights. Although they are the most suitable wearers, the Queen's personal consent is still required to mobilize them.

There are less than twenty squads of the entire Royal Guard Knights. Except for one squad that is responsible for guarding the palace and protecting the Queen all year round, the other squads cannot be easily mobilized.

No one in the royal family can enjoy the personal protection of a guard knight, not even the eldest princess or even the heir to the throne.

Now that a team has been mobilized to protect Purficott, it is enough to see how much attention she receives.

After all, the current Victoria Empire has no plans to announce to the world the fact that the end of the world is coming. They intend to advance their own plans first, and no matter what, at least ensure that the Victoria Empire can still stand firm even in the face of the end of the world. After it continues to exist, consider letting other countries know about this matter that may not be concealed by the time.

Even within the empire, it is not that this matter has been hidden from other countries, and they sit back and watch their complete destruction due to lack of preparation before the doomsday disaster.

Some of the most radical representatives even proposed to launch a war at this time, which would involve the energy of all countries capable of fighting the disaster, so that they would have no time to distract themselves from other things and die directly in this disaster that would destroy the world.

When the time comes, there will be only one country left in the world, the Victoria Empire, and the empire will surely rule the world!
  Most people still think this idea is a bit too extreme. After all, it's the end of the world, other countries have been destroyed, and the empire is probably not much better. If you still want to rule the world under such circumstances, you are probably mentally ill. .
