Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 244 Whaling Ship

After getting a definite answer to the question of whale oil, Purficott sent an airship to the New World to purchase it.

Although this behavior seems a bit extravagant, it is still within the acceptable range for Purficott. After all, the airship travels to the New World every week to purchase supplies, and it is only a matter of course to purchase some whale oil along the way. matter.

There is currently no large-scale industrialization in the Northern Territory, and the demand for consumables such as lubricants is not large, so the amount of goods purchased by the airship in one trip is enough to use the entire Northern Territory for a long time.

In addition to asking the airship to purchase whale oil and other lubricants, Perficott also asked Andrew to help her purchase a whaling ship after returning to the New World, and help recruit a qualified captain and other personnel.

Although there is currently not much demand for whale oil in the North, considering that various factories from the mainland and the New World will be relocated this year, some preparations must be done in advance.

A whaling ship is necessary for the current situation in the north, and stocking up on some industrial raw materials in advance will also be helpful for the normal operation of various factories in the future.

Although it sounds like a whaling ship can not obtain much whale oil, as long as we consider that in the 19th century, when the first industrial revolution was basically completed in the original world, there were less than a thousand whaling ships in the world. It is still amazing to understand the output of a whaling ship.

Therefore, Purficott currently only plans to purchase a whaling ship for emergency use. As for the expansion of industrial production in the future, and what to do after the extreme cold apocalypse comes and the ocean freezes in two years, that is another matter.

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

She worked hard to learn the Victorian language, accepted new knowledge, and adapted to life in Eagle Beak Cliff. However, everything here was very different from the life in the tribe, even though Lily had worked hard to adapt. , she is still not used to everything in Eagle Beak Cliff.

It is precisely because she has so much expectations that Lily has been working very hard since arriving at Eagle Beak Cliff.

Among them, trains are undoubtedly what Lily is most interested in.

But because after the tribe surrendered to the north, it was necessary to send someone to stay by Perficott's side. Therefore, Lily, as the future shaman of the tribe, was sent out after the discussion between the chief and the old shaman. Ficott expressed the sincerity of the Wildmane tribe's surrender. On the other hand, the chief and the old shaman also hoped that she could see more of the world and better help the Wildmane tribe grow in the future.

As the shaman of the Wild Mane Tribe, Lily believed that she was far from being able to stand on her own, and that she still had a lot to learn from her master.

Everything here is new to her, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to all aspects of life. There are so many new things that Lily can't accept them.

An iron cart that I have never seen runs on a track made of steel that is better than the best iron in the tribe. It does not need any animals to pull it, it can run faster than the ancestor warriors of the Wild Mane tribe, and it can Pulling an astonishing amount of cargo gave Lily a great shock, and also made her very interested in this huge steel creation.

How was such a huge iron car made? How big of a forge and anvil would be needed to make such a large iron cart? What does it eat to run?
Various questions lingered in the little shaman's mind, even causing her to delay her homework.

But Lily soon adjusted. It wasn't that her interest in trains waned, but after asking the person in charge of receiving her questions about trains, she learned that what she was curious about was a huge and complicated thing. system, to understand these she must first lay a solid foundation. This made the little shaman feel very depressed, but he quickly cheered up and began to study hard like thirsty.

In the process of learning, the little shaman also learned that the northern lord, who was slightly younger than her, was the most genius among white people and one of the most knowledgeable people in the world.

Although this statement has not received any official recognition or general consensus, for those who often come into contact with Perfectcott, her achievements have already proven her genius and profound knowledge, calling her the most knowledgeable person in the world. There is nothing wrong with one of the few people. From some perspectives, even the suffix "一" can be removed.

And this undoubtedly made the little shaman develop an inexplicable admiration for Perficott, just like the admiration he felt when he first saw his master perform shamanic magic to make the flowers in the forest bloom when he was a child.

It's just that at that time, Lily became a small shaman apprentice, and now Purficott is unlikely to guide her.

After all, she was just a hostage sent by the local indigenous tribe, and even without this level of identity, it would only be harder, not easier, for Lily to learn from Perficott.

In addition to the lord of the north and the earl of the empire, Perficott is currently the most accomplished alchemist in the Victoria Empire. After she destroyed the capitals of three countries with thermobaric bombs, she has already gained the entire empire. , and even the default of the entire old world.

After all, the thermobaric bomb is indeed a weapon that can change the world. Coupled with the airship and the steam knight armor, two inventions that can also affect the entire world, Purficott's achievements are already changing the world.

Within the Victoria Empire, there are even some of her extreme admirers who believe that Purficott should be written into the textbooks, ranking her name before Master Watt, who invented the steam engine in this world.

Although this matter was just a public opinion in the newspaper, there is no doubt that after this proposal was said, it quickly caused a huge storm of public opinion within the Victoria Empire. From nobles to commoners, a large number of people joined this Under discussion.

The focus of the discussion is not whether Perfectcott should be included in textbooks. Her achievements are beyond doubt, and inclusion in textbooks is even something that is already being promoted.

The real point is whether her name should be higher than that of Master Watt. After all, the steam engine he invented really led an era.

Judging from Purficott's current inventions, the three things she invented have not yet reached the point of leading an era.

However, even if there is controversy, there is no doubt that Purficott is the most outstanding alchemist in the Victoria Empire and even the Old World. It can be said that if she wants to recruit disciples, those who want to become disciples can queue up from the north. Langton, no matter what, it's not the turn of an indigenous girl.

But Lily didn't have the opportunity to contact Purficott. At least for now, she was summoned by Purficott again.
