Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 354 New Materials

Compared to the people of his family, Purficott was more concerned about the huge glass greenhouse in front of him.

Of course, it is not quite accurate to call it a glass greenhouse, because the material used to build the greenhouse is not actually glass.

It was just a seemingly transparent material, derived from Langton's research on utopian alchemy and Purficott's original commission for research on thermal insulation materials.

Originally, the research on thermal insulation materials in those university research institutions was very slow, and they could hardly produce any decent results in one or two years.

Although this is indeed not a big problem for scientific research, and scientific research is indeed not achieved overnight, the fact that they have not been able to make any decent progress really makes people feel dissatisfied, and they feel that they are nothing more than this.

In fact, not only bystanders think these researchers are not good, but they themselves also feel that this is really not good.

If Purficott is still just an ordinary baroness, then they will only be delaying it. It is just normal scientific research progress, and Purficott will not say anything.

But she is now the Earl of the Empire and the Lord of the North. This huge change in identity makes the deterrent effect of Purficott's identity completely different.

procrastination? Normal scientific research progress? Do you think the Northern Lord is easy to talk to?
To take a step back, even if Purficott doesn't say anything on this matter, as long as she expresses her dissatisfaction with these scientific research institutions in private on certain occasions, there will be someone who can help her straight away. Handle it well in order to please her.

For these scientific research institutions, annual R&D funding is very limited.

Once these are gone, only relying on university financial allocations will not even be enough to pay the salaries of laboratory technicians in research institutions. How can we engage in scientific research?

For the nobles of Langton, this is almost an instinctive operation, and it can even be regarded as the basis for their livelihood.

You know, the punishment camps in the north are now notorious in the empire, and are even a bit terrifying to the point where children cry at night.

To put it mildly, with the ability of Langton's nobles, they could even convince the universities where these scientific research institutions are located to directly cancel these scientific research institutions, and even imprison the relevant persons directly on false charges, or send them to work as laborers in the north.

After all, you will really die if you enter the punishment camp.

In addition to the funding from their respective universities, they only rely on donations from various nobles and gifts from other sources.

And they don’t need to do much more than persuade others not to continue providing funding to those scientific research institutions.

Therefore, it is very troublesome for these scientific research institutions to delay the scientific research commission of Perficott for a long time without producing results.

Fortunately, with the emergence of fantasy alchemy, many materials that originally existed only in theory or imagination began to appear one after another, and the development of cold-resistant materials entrusted by Perfectcott to these scientific research institutions has made sufficient progress.

The transparent materials used in the construction of greenhouses are the answer sheets submitted by these scientific research institutions to Purficot. A special thermal insulation material with a light transmittance of over 99.8%. Its thermal conductivity is extremely poor, and its thermal insulation effect is even comparable to that of vacuuming.

Of course, heat energy can still be transferred in a vacuum environment, but it is not transferred as fast as in a planetary atmosphere.

As for those scientific research institutions, they don't think about vacuum. They use fantasy alchemy to create this kind of material with almost no thermal conductivity.

Of course, even so, this material still has its limits. If it exceeds minus 100 degrees Celsius or the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor exceeds degrees Celsius, even this material cannot withstand such a huge temperature difference.

But even so, this powerful insulation material has a wide range of application scenarios, and it's not just used to build greenhouses.

If this material can be widely used, there will be more advanced and useful military materials on airships and aircraft.

These are quite important for the combat environment of airships and aircraft, especially for the subsequent training of flying knights. For those who can fly into the sky, it is better to keep an extra layer of insulation than to be shivering from the cold and having to hold on. joystick.

"There will naturally be people responsible for the research work in these related fields. You don't need to worry about these things. I believe that with the support of Utopian Alchemy, the empire will definitely become more powerful and greater in the future." A scientific researcher stood at Perfico Next to Te, she looked like she wanted to flatter her.

Purficott was really too lazy to respond to this kind of flattery, but at this time she still had to ask: "This material of yours is indeed very promising. What is its design principle?"

"These materials are made through fantasy alchemy. There is an alchemy workshop in Langton that specializes in related businesses. The craftsmen in it developed a special insulating glass while studying fantasy alchemy to resist Langton. We sent people to communicate with them and developed this new material based on the summer sunshine and heat." The researchers hurriedly explained to Purficott and the reasons for the emergence of this new material. reason.

"Oh? When did Langton have such a powerful alchemy workshop, and was able to develop such powerful new materials through fantasy alchemy?" Purficott was obviously very interested in this alchemy workshop, because she was in Langton I had never heard of such a powerful alchemy workshop in Langton.

It’s not that Purficott looked down on them, but because they were limited by the rules of real alchemy in the past, did not have enough knowledge of the world, and could not turn their imagination into the wings of fantasy, the level of Langton’s alchemists was only That's all.

After all, there are only a handful of alchemists as powerful as her parents, and geniuses are always lonely.

Hearing Purficott's curiosity, the researcher replied: "It's an alchemy workshop that just popped up recently. The members are all women. They call themselves the Witch's Workshop. They didn't have much reputation in the past, but with the With the advent of Utopia Alchemy, they are now very popular in Longton.”

"It turns out that he is a newcomer who rose up through fantasy alchemy. This is not surprising." Purficott nodded to express his understanding.

"Lord Earl, are you interested in them? When the school contacted them before, they showed curiosity about you. If you are willing to extend an invitation, I think they will be willing to come to the north." So said the scientific researcher. He said, wishing that Perfectcott would bring this witch workshop to the north.

After all, newly emerged workshops like this had a huge impact on traditional real-life alchemy during this time in Langton.
