Chapter 18 Rescue and Abandonment
Perfect and Princess Anne are not the kind of procrastinators.
So the next day, after the eldest princess woke up, she and Purficott took her steam carriage into the city. Purficott also specially brought her airship model.
As for the war horse she rode last night? The Royal Guards are still following behind, just let any cavalryman hold the reins.
After entering the city, Princess Anne first ordered a guard cavalry to take the horse back to the royal stables in the palace, and then took Perfectcott to the Royal Langton University.
They were going to visit some professors in the Alchemy Department of Langton University.
Perfect and Princess Anne discussed carefully last night and decided to start by building momentum and issue a commission to develop cold-resistant materials to the professors of the Alchemy Department of Langton University.
"Little Purficott, I remember that your airship was ordered at the Royal Shipyard yesterday, didn't it? It doesn't need to be made of cold-resistant materials, doesn't it matter?" Princess Anne looked at Purficott The airship model he carried with him asked with concern.
Regarding this issue, Purficott pointed to the model and said: "I considered this when designing, so I designed a heat insulation layer on the outer layer of the airship."< br>
Speaking of this, Purficott also deliberately opened one side of the model so that Princess Anne could see the internal structure of the airship.
Purficott removed a bulkhead from the outer wall of the airship, held it in his hand and said to Princess Anne: "What I ordered from the Royal Dockyard is only a part of the parts. As for the other parts, I can actually make it myself." br>
But now that I have the support of Her Majesty the Queen, I don’t have to do some things myself, and I can free up my hands to do some more important things.”
Hearing what Purficott said. , Princess Anne suddenly remembered that Purficott was the youngest talented alchemist in Langton, and developing a cold-resistant material was indeed not a problem for her.
It’s just that she is under sixteen and a woman, which always makes people ignore this.
“Are you going to the New World?” Putting unnecessary thoughts out of her mind, Princess Anne asked Perfectcott about her next plan.
"Well, I guess I will stay there for a while." Purficott nodded slightly. Although the plan has changed now, her schedule has generally remained unchanged: "I need to get some information from the Imperial Exploration Company. Information on the distribution of mineral resources in the New World, so that when I take a boat to the New World, I can use this time to analyze the data to determine where it is suitable to build a shelter.
This way I can start working directly when I arrive in the New World. It’s a waste of time to conduct on-site exploration and site selection. The empire has wasted too much time, I must seize every second.”
Hearing this, Princess Anne was convinced.
If the noble council could have responded correctly when Purficott first warned them, the situation would not be as bad as it is now.
This also made her feel more and more distressed for Purficott, and she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Do you have any other needs? My mother gave me the power to mobilize the knights of the guard. I can send them Protect you as you head to the New World. Although the war to suppress independence in the colonies is progressing smoothly, there is some chaos there, and you need someone to protect you.”
"I'm not worried about this. I plan to help Grandpa Afu break through the shackles of the Great Knight and advance to the rank of Knight. His combat power is enough to ensure my safety." Purficott tried to refuse Annie The eldest princess had good intentions, but she changed her subject mid-sentence: "But the knights of the imperial guard represent the imperial power, and may be able to play a role that I did not expect, so I'd better bring them with me."
In the past When the emperor of the Victoia Empire goes on a personal expedition, the knights of the imperial guard will also act as the emperor's envoys, responsible for delivering important military orders. To a certain extent, they are very suitable for pretending to be intimidating and deterring those with ulterior motives.
Perficott is really fed up with those people who are submissive and submissive. Instead of wasting time arguing with them, it is better to use the most direct force to deter him.
“In addition, this time I will build the infrastructure of the shelter first, and at the same time, I need to mine some mineral deposits. For related projects and procedures, Auntie Lao Anne will help inform the relevant companies in the colony to prepare in advance. ”Perfect said to Princess Anne.
"No problem. As I said, you can mobilize all the resources of the royal family." Princess Anne emphasized again, but at the same time, she also looked sad and asked Perficot: "Little Perficot Special, do you think we can save the empire?”
Although she was full of confidence in Perficott, Princess Anne still felt less confident about this disaster.
After all, according to Purficott's prophecy, this will be a disaster of annihilation level. Even if the empire tries its best, it may not be able to save many people.
This made her couldn't help but ask Purfict a soul torture: "How many people can we save? How many people must we give up?"
Elder Princess Anne knew clearly. , it is impossible to save everyone.
But she wanted to save more people, especially ordinary poor people who had no chance of survival.
Faced with Princess Anne's inquiry, Purficott's eyes drifted out the window, staring at the ordinary people on the roadside who were working hard to make a living, and said in a somewhat erratic tone: "A shelter It can accommodate about 3,000 to 50,000 people. The number will vary depending on the environment and actual situation, but it is roughly within this range.
The current total population of the empire is about 2,000. The total population of overseas colonies is tens of thousands. If you want to save more people, you must build more shelters."
At this point, Perfectcott withdrew his gaze. , looked at Princess Anne, and said in a serious and serious tone: "Just the population of Langton City requires at least twenty shelters to accommodate, not to mention the entire empire and overseas colonies. This requires a massive amount of people. The investment of resources and manpower requires the entire empire to devote all its efforts. "
Perficott's meaning is obvious. If you want to save more people, you need to invest more resources.
"But now, the Crisis Response Committee specially established by the empire is still entangled for petty profits." Princess Anne's voice was filled with lamentation, but this strengthened her determination: "Little Purficott , you proceed according to your plan, and I will try to persuade the Duke of Gloucester to support you! As for those cystic insects... it’s time for the imperial nobles to prune their branches and leaves!"
