Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 59 Shipwreck
  Sailing at sea is indeed boring, especially after the White Jewel entered the northern route, the outdoor temperature began to gradually drop, and it was no longer suitable for activities on the deck. Being stuck in the cabin became even more boring and boring.

Although Purficott and the members of the exploration team still need to analyze data and prepare for the next field trip, it is obvious that they cannot spend all day working.

Even the most evil factory owner in Langton still has to give his workers time to go home from get off work, sleep and eat.

So naturally, more passengers on the ship gathered in the restaurant or some cabins and started entertainment activities such as playing cards.

As for smoking, they would like to, but smoking is not allowed on the ship. You have to go to designated smoking areas to smoke. Generally speaking, those places are always overcrowded, and you have to queue up if you want to smoke.

Therefore, relatively speaking, playing cards without so many restrictions has become the best way for these armed personnel on the ship to pass the time.

Purficott didn't pay much attention to this. After all, this level of entertainment would not cause any serious consequences, and there was no need for her to deprive her of this entertainment.

However, she still reminded the officers on the ship to pay attention to control and not let the soldiers play too aggressively.

As for Purficott himself, he took advantage of this period of time to start observing the meteorological and hydrological conditions of the northern route. He also counted how many icebergs they saw along the way.

"It seems that the situation on the northern route is no longer optimistic. This is the twelfth iceberg we have encountered in three days." While recording the data, Purficott sighed to Foster beside him: " If this is the case, I am afraid that when we start building shelters in the New World, the mainland will need to transport labor and materials from the southern route."

Obviously, according to Purficott's statistics, the ice floe conditions on the northern route are no longer suitable for navigation.

Compared to Purficott, Foster acted more simply. He directly suggested to Purficott: "Miss, should we inform the captain to change the route? The situation on this route is already a bit dangerous now. , for your safety I suggest you change your itinerary.”

From Foster's point of view, nothing is as important as Purficott's safety.

She is the only direct descendant of the Brandless family. If she has any shortcomings, it will mean that the Brandless family will be extinct.

If such a thing really happened, then even if Foster was dead, he would not be able to face the old Baron Brandlis.

So when the ship might be in danger, Foster's first thought was to ask the captain to change its course to avoid the section where it might encounter icebergs.

After all, they were sailing on the sea, and they were not walking on land and had to follow a set path to move forward.

However, Purficott shook his head and said: "The situation is not too serious now. I need to collect more data. The increase in icebergs will bring about changes in seawater temperature, which will in turn affect the ocean currents and cause the entire planet to collapse." Climate imbalance.

What I am collecting now will be first-hand valuable information, which will be of great significance for the subsequent deduction of atmospheric models and measurement of environmental climate change! We can't just..."

Purficott explained to the old housekeeper the significance of why she continued to collect data. However, before she could finish her words, the captain hurried over and reported to Purficott: "Your Majesty, Baroness, we are collecting data." We received a distress message. A cruise ship hit an ice floe and ran aground near us. Are we going to rescue it?" "What? Hit an ice floe and ran aground?" A question appeared in Purficott's head. Question mark, she didn't quite understand what was going on.

But she still caught the key point of the captain's words, nodded directly and said: "If you can, of course you have to rescue them. Is their situation serious?"

"It's okay so far. They are just frozen by the ice floating on the bottom of the boat. They can't move now. As long as there is a ship that can push them or explode the ice floating, it will be fine!" The captain seemed to be very experienced in this, and then seemed to add an explanation. He also patted his chest at Purficott: "Although we can't say that this kind of thing is common when we run the northern route, we will always encounter this kind of situation once or twice a year. We are very experienced in dealing with this kind of situation. ”

Hearing what the captain said, Purficott nodded and immediately agreed: "In that case, go save people! In addition, please inform Samantha Knight, Lee Knight, and other relevant personnel of this situation, so that they can Know the situation.”

Knight Lee is the knight commander of the Knights of the Sword and Rose. His full name is Arthur Lee. Although it sounds very similar to the country that Perficott lived in before traveling through time, this is a very native Victorian name.

"Understood, don't worry, I'll send someone to notify them right away." The captain nodded, then turned and left.

Watching the captain leave, the expression on Perficott's face did not show optimism, but frowned: "It is indeed normal for cruise ships to encounter ice floes on the northern route. I also saw relevant information when I checked the information before. records.

But now it is summer. There has never been a similar record in the past. The peak season for ice floes is winter! This is not normal! Have the effects of cooling begun? "

"Miss, if there is danger, I still recommend that you don't get involved in danger easily." The old housekeeper looked at Perfectcott, filled with worry.

He had given away two Brandlis, and he did not wish to give away a third.

If possible, Foster hopes to watch Perficott get married and have children, and the Brandless family prosper, so that he can at least take care of the fourth Brandley in his life before he is too old to move. Delis grew up.

However, Old Foster also knew that it would be difficult for Perfectcott to get married and have children like ordinary people.

After all, it was hard for him to imagine how talented a person would be to make Perfectcott favor him.

With Purficott's achievements and her pride, I'm afraid there will be few people in the entire Victoria Empire who can make her heart beat.

It is precisely because of this that Old Foster does not want any danger to Perficott.

But Purficott was obviously not a person who would consider such a thing. She just thought about it for a moment and said to Foster: "Grandpa Afu, go inform the people in the exploration team that I need more manpower to monitor." Water temperature! In this season, the cruise ship encounters ice floes, and the temperature of the sea water has changed significantly!"

After saying that, Purficott seemed to have remembered something again, and told Foster: "Also, Grandpa Lauafo, go and prepare that thing. You may need it later."
