Chapter 3 The Irreversible Situation
I have to say that these astrologers have something. After emptying out the wealth accumulated by the Royal Astronomical Society for many years, and borrowing wise men from Perficott, After finding the Stone, they at least knew that the cold wave that froze the entire world was caused by something.
But it is obvious that neither Perficott nor the Royal Astronomical Society has the ability to stop this.
And according to Purficott's calculations, even if they can prevent the source of climate change, the climate change that has already begun will still make the world return to the Ice Age.
This process is irreversible, because the weather itself is a huge system that affects the whole body. Now the entire weather system is being changed, and it is already too late to reverse all this.
What they can do now is to find a way to survive this terrible disaster sweeping the world, and then find a way to stop the source of all these climate changes and prevent the world from being completely frozen in three hundred years.
As for Purficott, although she wanted to prevent this disaster, her human resources were limited.
Even if she has the Philosopher's Stone that can break the principle of equivalent exchange, has the knowledge and insight that transcends the times that is unique to time travelers, and has a powerful cheat finger, she cannot change the fate of the entire world. .
Unless she can leverage the entire empire and let the resources of the entire empire be used for her, there may be a chance to save the world.
But the granddaughter of a mere baron, even though she has a series of titles such as Langton genius girl, the youngest alchemy master, the youngest member of the Royal Society of Engineering, etc., in this era when the status of women is still despised, she still has It is simply impossible to take charge of such an important matter.
All this must be left in charge of a mature, stable, reliable, and highly respected man.
In this era, the status of women has just been improved, and they have gradually moved from being imprisoned in the family to becoming wage laborers in society.
However, the overall social atmosphere is still full of contempt and prejudice against women. It is believed that women should stay at home and do housework, rather than come out to show off.
Although during this period women began to receive more education, gain economic independence, and participate in society and politics as independent individuals rather than male vassals, the overall social atmosphere still regarded women as He is inferior to men and can only exist as a subordinate of men.
Although Purficott has achieved many achievements that ordinary people cannot achieve by virtue of his own abilities, this still cannot change the fact that women's social status is low in this era.
Even if she really has the ability to save the world, she cannot dominate it all, but can only be a vassal of the male leader.
It is not that she has not tried to warn the authorities of the approaching disaster, but this was only regarded as a little girl's delusion, and some even laughed at her "what do women know", even though Purficott has achieved far more achievements than most Achievements for most men.
Eventually, she gave up warning the authorities and just left the matter to the group of astrologers who had collapsed.
As for herself, she returned to the Brandless family's manor on the outskirts of Longton, preparing for the disaster in her own way.
She does not expect to be able to withstand this disaster, nor does she expect to be able to solve the source of the disaster. She only hopes that she can survive and live a better life when the disaster strikes.
After all, there's only so much she can do right now.
As for responding to this disaster and saving more people? Love so and so! Isn’t it said, “What do women know?” Then let those men who know something play their part!
Perfect is just a little girl now, and it is already very difficult for her to ensure that she survives this disaster. If she hadn't been a time traveler and had a powerful golden finger, she wouldn't have made such an extravagant wish.
Speaking of his golden finger, Purficott came to a mirror hanging on the wall and looked up at himself in the mirror.
Don't get me wrong, this is not the magic mirror that talks, nor is Purficott's golden finger, but her eyes.
Perfect in the mirror has long silver hair and a beautiful face. Even if she is still a girl who has not yet bloomed, her beauty is just like her name, perfect.
And this is also her parents’ most ardent expectation and best blessing for her.
Only on this beautiful face, a pair of eyes of different colors seemed to break the perfection, but added a different kind of beauty to her beauty.
Those are two eyes, one is crimson and the other is emerald green. The crimson eye comes from the influence of the ritual of making the Philosopher's Stone when she traveled through time. Originally, Purficott's eyes were amber. Sexy, as you can tell from the photo on her pocket watch, exactly like her parents.
As for the emerald green eye, it is a powerful alchemical creation - Jade Record·Omniscient Eye.
This is the golden finger that Purficott brought when he traveled through time. It was with this eye that she was able to kill a man who had gone berserk and killed her without knowing anything about alchemy. His parents' Philosopher's Stone refining array was put back on track, and the refining of the Philosopher's Stone, the highest achievement of alchemy, was completed.
And this is only one of the most basic functions of this eye. As for other functions, it took her three years to gradually understand some of them.
Reaching out her hand and gently touching this eye, Purficott couldn't help but sigh. Without this eye, she might have died in the disaster that caused her to travel through time three years ago. If you are hit, it is impossible to survive until now, and you still need to worry about how to survive.
Shaking his head to expel these unnecessary emotions from his mind, Purficott's beautiful face returned to its cold expression and he adjusted himself back to working status.
After coming to his desk and sitting down, Purficott sorted out the scattered drawings on the desk and prepared to continue improving the airship he designed.
Before time traveling, Purficott was a steampunk enthusiast and had an inexplicable enthusiasm and hobby for differential engines, steam engines and mechanical gear transmission.
In the past, she liked to use 3D modeling and painting to design some gadgets related to steampunk. As a symbol of steampunk, airships naturally made her own achievements and achievements. Understood.
You must know that the current world is still in the era of the first industrial revolution. Although this world is blessed by mysterious forces and the development of science and technology is somewhat outrageous, it has not broken away from the scope of the first industrial revolution. The productivity is indeed There has been great development.
But want to build a large flying vehicle? Purficott immediately thought of the Zeppelin airships that could cross the Atlantic in the world before time travel.
