Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 260 Coming soon
After exploring the bottom of the valley, Perficott returned to Eagle Beak Cliff.

The oil found during the trip to Death Valley is indeed important, but the importance of this thing is the key to the second industrial revolution, not that the valley itself or the oil lake is important.

Although they themselves are indeed of great significance to the North, they are not to the extent that Purficott needs to put down everything and watch the whole process here in person.

Purficott, who returned to Eagle Beak Cliff, quickly received several new messages, which made her very busy.

First, there was news from the Royal Academy of Sciences. As the deputy president of the Royal Academy of Sciences and the president of the Northern Branch, the scientists requested by Perficott had already set off from the empire and would arrive in the North in a repaired airship.

The telegram was sent before they set off. According to time calculation, they should still be halfway there, but at the speed of the airship, it would only take a few days to fly from Langton to the north.

Especially now that the northern route is accessible, airships flying along this route can save more time.

And this means that they will actually arrive in a few days, but the supporting Northern Branch of the Royal Academy of Sciences is now nowhere to be seen.

This gave Purficott a sudden headache. She was indeed negligent in this matter, but fortunately it was not a big problem.

In the initial planning of the construction of the Yingzui Cliff Base, it was designed as a scientific research station and could accommodate more people, especially scientific researchers.

The main purpose of this inspection team was to inspect the investment environment in the north and where in the area designated by Perfectcott they would be suitable for building a factory.

In addition to the affairs of the Royal Academy of Sciences, on the other side, there will also be an inspection team sent by factory owners and capitalists from the New World that will also arrive in the north in the near future.

After all, this was originally the scientific research station for the Arctic scientific research project planned by Purficot. Now it seems that it is not a big problem to expand it into the Northern Branch of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

In the final analysis, this is because Purficott is not accustomed to his status as the vice president of the Royal Academy of Sciences. This title is more useful in Langton, and no one in the north cares more about this title.

Therefore, as long as there are not many people in the first batch, they can be placed on the Eagle's Mouth Cliff first. As for the Northern Branch of the Royal Academy of Sciences, Purficott thought after thinking about it, it seems that they can be placed directly on the Eagle's Mouth Cliff.

This matter does not require Purficott himself to come forward personally. The old butler Foster and the civil officials in the north can handle this matter.

As for another expedition group from Langton that has the same purpose as this expedition but only has a different departure point, it will arrive together with people from the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Although it has been agreed to invest in and build factories in the north, what kind of factories can be built and where they should be built are all matters that need to be discussed and investigated.

But they were not riding in the same airship as the people from the Royal Academy of Sciences.

After all, Purficott designed the airship for herself alone. Not only was the size limited, but the number of people it could accommodate was also considered based on the combination of herself and the old housekeeper, plus a group of maid puppets. Therefore, the carrying capacity of the airship is very limited.

The inspection team sent by Langton's capitalists and factory owners was quite large, and it was obviously impossible for them all to fit into this airship. As for taking a boat in the traditional way? Time is money, my friend! Taking a boat will waste a lot of time on the road!
If it had been before, there would have been no choice but to take a boat.

But now that there are other options, these big capitalists and factory owners will not just watch time being wasted and let their counterparts in the New World get ahead of them.

You must know that the North is an unexplored blue ocean market. Whoever can seize the opportunity will be able to lay an advantage in future business competition.

Especially for the big capitalists and big factory owners in Langton, being well-informed is an essential quality for them, and they have begun to receive some rumors, knowing that the empire is about to face a huge crisis.

Although they did not find out what the crisis was specifically, they were still able to find out that the northern border would be the key to the future empire's response to this crisis.

Investing in the North now will be an opportunity to show favor to the higher-ups and the Earl of the North.

So these capitalists and factory owners went all out. They spent a lot of money to get the airship blueprints from the Royal Dockyard, and then built the first airship for commercial operation in the shipyard under their own names. boat.

Their ability to successfully build an airship was inseparable from the technical support of the Royal Shipyard, and the reason why the Royal Shipyard dared to do this was naturally authorized by the empire's senior officials.

Otherwise, airships are currently the most powerful weapon of the empire in the war. If the Royal Dockyard is given the courage, they would not dare to sell out such important national military secrets and teach others step by step how to reproduce them.

If there is not a greater interest behind it, this kind of thing will never succeed.

But once higher-level interest issues are involved, this kind of thing will be promoted very quickly, so that now the first commercially operated airship has been built and has begun its maiden voyage, heading towards the north. Come flying.

As they flew towards the north, the capitalists and factory owners who were promoting this matter also sent a telegram to Perfectcott.

If it hadn't been for this telegram, it wouldn't have been Perficott's turn to personally intervene in this matter. At most, she would have just made an appearance at the welcome banquet as arranged by the old housekeeper.

But those capitalists and factory owners specifically sent telegrams to Purficott, so there was still something worthy of her attention.

Those big capitalists and big factory owners contacted Princess Anne through various relationships, and then used the princess to lobby Perficott, hoping that she could provide a lively event in the north for the successful maiden voyage of the commercial transport airship. The welcome banquet can be regarded as a commemoration of the successful commercial operation of mankind's first airship.

In order to hold this banquet, the big capitalists and big factory owners gathered together 30,000 gold pounds, which was regarded as sponsorship fee. They only hoped that the North could hold a grand welcome banquet to celebrate, and they also hoped that as the North Perfection, the realm lord and inventor of the airship, will also be there.

For this reason, they also sponsored Perficott with an additional fifty thousand gold pounds in order to gain more support from her, the Earl of the North.
