Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 50 Exaggerated Exploration Team
  Finally, after half a month of preparation, Perficott finally boarded the ship bound for the New World.

This is a shipping cruise ship chartered by the royal family from the White Star Company. It was originally approved to carry 300 people. It is not a big ship, but it is a new type of cruise ship that the White Star Company has only launched in recent years.

Many new technologies have been adopted on the ship, and the hull is an all-steel structure. It has also been specially equipped with mine protection belts for the northern route, which are only equipped on new warships. Even if it is hit by an iceberg, it will not cause any problems. question.

Moreover, the crew members are all experienced sailors who have been on this route for more than a dozen times, and are very trustworthy in terms of professionalism.

As for the passengers on the ship, they included a fifty-person professional exploration team sent by the Imperial Exploration Company, more than a dozen scientists who participated in the exploration project represented by Dr. Jones, and those who were finally released from the prisoner of war camp. Twenty security personnel led by O'Connor came out.

Of course, in addition to these people, there are also Purficott and her loyal old butler, as well as a group of knights sent to protect her.

At the same time, in order not to treat himself badly, Purficott also brought his own alchemy doll maid team.

Represented by Befa, the maid team composed of a total of twenty alchemy doll maids shocked everyone when they appeared.

However, this shock is not because these twenty alchemy dolls can all exert the fighting power of official knights, but because each of them is worth a lot of money. The fact that Perficott can have such a maid team is amazing. financial resources.

You know, an ordinary alchemy doll maid on the market has been sold for at least two hundred gold pounds, which is equivalent to a precious pure-blood war horse.

Even the nobles who are not really rich can easily not afford such consumption.

Not to mention that the alchemy doll maids brought by Purficott are all special models made by her, and they will only be sold more expensively on the market.

In particular, her fame has risen to a new level as the existence of Steam Rider has become known, and the value of her works has naturally increased accordingly.

But this really doesn't mean much to Purficott. Even if the world is not about to be destroyed, wealth is just a number to her.

If she can create a fortune of two hundred thousand gold pounds, she can create more.

No one has any doubts about this. After all, she is only fourteen years old and is the youngest alchemy master in the world.

Nowadays, no one doubts that Purficott became a master of alchemy due to the influence of her parents. She has proven her talent through her own achievements.

Although her parents are also masters of alchemy, their research direction is completely different from that of Perficott, and there is no connection between the two.

Because of this, the veteran generals in the military attach great importance to Perficott, because they look forward to more new inventions from Perficott in the future.

For this reason, these old generals specially sent a guard to Purficott and Brandless Manor, specifically responsible for protecting her and guarding her laboratory in Brandless Manor.

This guard was jointly funded by several veteran generals from the military department, and the personnel were also carefully selected by them. The number reached the size of an infantry regiment. However, this time he went to the New World. After Perficott's persuasion, he only took one company with him. The rest of the troops would stay at Brandless Manor to prevent anyone from sneaking in while Perficott was away. Enter the manor and steal her research.

Although Purficott is relatively confident in the defense of his laboratory, proper security is still needed.

Because of this, the size of the exploration team this time reached more than 200 people. Among them, there were only a dozen scientists and fifty exploration team members who were specifically responsible for exploration. As for the others, they all provided safety for Purficott. protected.

This also brought the specifications of her trip to a very high level. The royal family even stepped forward to directly charter a cruise ship to ensure the safety of Perfectcott's trip to the New World.

Even this is not safe enough in their opinion. During the ship's voyage to the New World, a frigate sent by the navy will accompany it throughout the journey.

After arriving in the New World, the Royal Navy's New World Squadron will also send warships to escort it.

It can be said that even if the Queen herself travels, the security treatment will only be to this extent.

"Miss Brandless, is it too late for me to get off the ship now?" On the deck of the cruise ship, the fat man Oliver was watching the guards of Perfectcott's company carrying their weapons and equipment with a bitter look on his face. Some feelings of regret arose.

He was invited by Purficott to go to the New World with her, but when he saw this battle after boarding the ship, he was somewhat upset and worried about this trip to the New World.

It's not that the fat man is unfounded or too timid.

As a businessman, Oliver doesn't feel like he lacks the courage to take risks when it's time to take risks.

Just like when Purficott told him that the world was about to be destroyed, he dared to listen to this imperial secret, even though he might have to pay an unimaginable price for it.

But now when he looked at the ship full of guards and weapons, he felt a little nervous.

After all, Purficott looked like someone was about to attack her. What if she accidentally hit the passenger car during the attack?
  However, Purficott saw through the fat man's lies and just smiled: "Do you regret it now? It's a bit late. There is no chance of getting off this ship."

There was something in Purficott's words, and Oliver naturally understood the meaning.

He looked at Purficott and said helplessly: "Miss, you know that there are many difficulties ahead. If you are not careful, you may hit the iceberg and destroy the ship, so why do you take such risks?"

"Mr. Oliver, when a ship encounters a storm on the sea, only everyone on the ship can work together to tide over the storm. If someone wants to retreat or is afraid of death, he will always be the first to be unlucky. ." Purficott came to the side of the ship and watched the soldiers who had finished carrying supplies enter the cabin. The sailors on the shore also began to untie the cables and stow the deck. Then she continued: "Now we are all in this together. On a ship, if you only think about escaping in a small boat when encountering danger, then when you encounter a storm, the small boat is often the first to capsize. Only by saving the big ship can you survive the storm, right? ?"
