Chapter 642 Railway Town
Purficant’s gain from Worsted was of course not only the technical ideas of the grizzly bear tribe shaman, she also learned more about the grassroots people in the north today. thoughts and living conditions.
Although the town of Wasted does not represent everything, it also reflects to a certain extent the living conditions in the North after the current coexistence between indigenous people and immigrants.
The two interact with each other, giving birth to a new way of life, and the integration of the two is also forming new northerners.
Without the influence of external factors, it may take hundreds of years for the species concept of northerners to be completely formed, and it will also take a long time to unify the living habits of aborigines and immigrants. synthesize a new whole.
However, harsh external environmental factors have prompted the indigenous people and immigrants to make more changes and adapt to the environment.
The influence of internal factors has accelerated the evolution of the concept of Northerners a lot, but if there are no more factors to stimulate it, it may still take decades to take shape.
After all, this may be a unique race with its own culture and living customs.
To promote or prevent its formation, for Purficott, it is actually a matter of a decree.
Just like how the North American immigrants in the original world dealt with the locals, from some perspectives, wanting to prevent or promote certain things is just a thought of the rulers.
But Purficott obviously wouldn't scalp her, as that would go against her principles as a human being.
In terms of tendency, Purficott hopes to make the people in the north live a better life, rather than provoking confrontation between the two groups and destroying one of them.
And the current external environment in the north also determines that it is impossible for Perfecticot to do this.
The threat posed by the extreme cold is affecting everyone. If we cannot unite everyone and work together to survive, it will be a complete disaster for mankind.
Humanity is now on the verge of destruction. If Perficott had not forcibly opened up a way for mankind to survive, then the mankind in this world would have fallen into destruction under the blows of the gods and the apocalyptic winter.
Therefore, genocidal internal fighting is absolutely undesirable for humans, and no one will do it.
Even if someone really planned to do this, Purficott would definitely kill him completely.
However, although the town of Wasted gave her a lot of inspiration, for Purficott, she did not forget that the main purpose of her private visit this time was to investigate the conditions of various towns in the North, so as to Develop a plan for the cold season.
Although the model of Wasted Town seems to be feasible at present, considering that this is only their living model in the warm season, Purficott did not interfere with them rashly, but planned to wait. Wait and see how their living conditions are after the cold season arrives before making a decision.
In addition to the town of Wasted, Purficott also wanted to see the situation in other places in the North. After all, she could not just look at the situation in one town and extend its model to the North. All towns.
Every place has its own special circumstances. If everything is copied wholesale, there will definitely be a situation where you are not acclimated to the local environment.
Although good experience models must be promoted, they must also consider the actual situation and make corresponding adjustments. Applying them mechanically will definitely cause problems.
So after completing the investigation into the town of Wasted, Perfectcott set off for another town.
————————————This town is very different from Wasted Town.
Geographically, the town is closer to Belloberg, on the railway line between Belloberg and Chernobog.
It is a town born because of the railway. The main purpose of its existence is to maintain and repair the trains passing here, and to provide various supplies to passengers.
The trains in this era were still very slow and had various minor and minor problems. They needed to stop for maintenance and replenish coal water along the way.
The train from Belloberg to Chernobog stops at about two or three stations along the way, all of which are similar to this small town called Railway Town.
These small towns exist because of the railways, and they also prosper because of the stops of trains. In a sense, they were born because of railways and trains.
So relatively speaking, the living habits of the residents living here are very different from those of the residents of Wasted.
First of all, although the aboriginal people here also hunt, they mostly sell the prey they bring back as commodities.
In this day and age, fresh meat is a rare commodity. Not only is it expensive, but it is also scarce in quantity, and is basically in short supply.
Even in the two big cities of Belloberg and Chernobog, they are basically limited to supplying the consumption of the great nobles, and they are often priced but not available.
So the fresh meat sold in these towns along the railway is a good thing that no one can miss.
Basically, as long as the hunters return to town with their prey, the prey they have brought back will be cut up and processed directly on the train platform. From flesh and bones to fur and internal organs, nothing will be wasted.
Each divided portion will be clearly marked with a price and put up for sale. After the train approaches the station, passengers only need to sit in the carriage and open the window to bid to the vendors selling goods on the platform and then pay. Buy a piece of meat of your choice.
Of course, in addition to these, there will be some other things for sale in these railway towns.
For example, the shaman of the local aboriginal tribe made a magical potion that is said to boost men's self-confidence, a witchcraft creation that can make the man he likes fall in love with more deeply, or a piece of jewelry that is said to improve women. Charming trinket.
Even Purficott, when she got off the train and saw the prosperous business scene on the platform, it felt like she was dreaming back to her childhood in the former world.
In her memory, she could see many such scenes while riding the train during her childhood.
The trains were not fast at that time. As soon as you got close to the station, vendors with carts and baskets on the platform would start selling various things, and passengers on the train would open the windows and buy various things like they do now. .
“It seems that I can see some interesting things here.” Just from the train platform, Purficott was able to get a glimpse of the entire system behind this town that maintains this prosperous and lively scene. She suddenly became interested and wanted to know how people in this small town lived.
However, just when she wanted to find out further, gunshots suddenly rang out on the platform.
