Chapter 28 Steam Carriage
After a breakfast that felt a little too hot, Purficott left Windsor Castle and took her own steam carriage to an alchemy company with which she had a deep cooperative relationship. workshop.
Pervecott originally had an alchemy workshop in the city, but her two alchemy workshops were just two small workshops that she bought in order to mass-produce alchemy dolls, and their own production capacity was limited. , and the types of products that can be produced are also very limited.
Before Perfection acquired them, these were two workshops specializing in dolls and precision parts, and they were preparing to be sold due to poor management.
So when he already knew that the doomsday disaster was coming, and decided to abandon his local industry and move to the New World, Perphycott took advantage of the situation and packaged and sold the two workshops and the shop selling dolls. .
This did not have any adverse effect on Perphycott. On the one hand, she had her own laboratory at Brandleys Manor. When she really needed something, she, the "Royal Chartered Alchemist", could rub it with her own hands. of.
In addition, alchemy workshops are not uncommon in Langton City. If Perficott really needs to customize something, they will be happy to accept an order from a royal chartered alchemist.
In fact, Purficott is currently going to an alchemy workshop with which she has a deep relationship to pick up what she ordered.
James also shamelessly followed up at this time and got into Perfectcott's carriage.
Although Purficott did not like this intelligence agent who seemed to be a playboy on the surface, considering that this man was now working for her, she did not drive James away. Get off the carriage.
However, Purficott did not allow him to enter the carriage, but only let him sit on the coachman's seat outside.
Steam carriages travel through the streets of Longton, in sharp contrast to the traditional horse-drawn carriages on the road.
Although the invention of the steam engine happened in the last century, and the empire has been promoting steam engines on a large scale for nearly a hundred years, the steam engines that can be seen in Langton City are mostly used in industrial production. , rather than transportation.
Although the Empire also introduced rail public transportation powered by steam engines in the early years, a large vehicle similar to early trams and pulled by a steam locomotive.
But these big guys have had some traffic accidents due to some problems in municipal planning and imperfect designs.
As for the miniaturized steam engines that have only appeared in recent years, although there are indeed people like Perficott who have applied them to transportation, those who have the ability to do so are either engineers or alchemists.
In short, it is still at the stage of experimentation and technical verification.
So it is still difficult to see steam-powered vehicles on the streets of Langton today.
Perfect’s steam carriage is considered to be the only one.
If there was no apocalyptic disaster, she might consider becoming a carriage tycoon. Before the internal combustion engine was invented, was it possible to make a small fortune by selling steam carriages?
The steam carriage quickly stopped at the entrance of an alchemy workshop that looked very historical from the outside. James jumped out of the carriage consciously and opened the door for Purficott, acting like a follower or follower.
This made Foster, the old butler who was in charge of this job, frown slightly, and then looked at Purficott who was still sitting in the carriage, as if he wanted to ask Purfi Kurt is accusing something.
However, Purficott just glanced at James and said to Foster: "Grandpa Afu, please let this guy follow me during this period of time! Get ready, and then go to the New World I still need you to protect me."
When Foster heard what Perficott said, he remembered what she had given him before, so he nodded to express his understanding: "I understand, miss. ”
Immediately, he turned his head and looked at James with a slightly disgusted look, and then said: "Boy, show some strength when you are with the lady. Your current decadent look cannot protect the lady."
Hearing the conversation between Foster and Perfectcott, James could only agree with a slightly wry smile on his face: "I will, Miss Perfectcott has already raised this issue with me. "
Seeing James's attitude, Foster didn't say anything more. He just came to the carriage and unfolded the ladder at the bottom of the carriage. Then he reached out to help Perfectcott step on the ladder. Got out of the car.
"Mr. James, please go do your own thing first. You can come to Windsor Castle to find me in the evening. I should be staying in the city temporarily these days." Purficott had no intention. Embarrassing James, he simply explained to him: "Don't forget what I told you. You can try to contact or recruit some people you think are suitable. Going to the New World for exploration is a very troublesome thing. I need enough "There are many experienced people."
"Don't worry, I will recruit the most professional team for you." James bowed to Perficott, while also patting himself on the back. Guaranteed tickets.
Purficott smiled politely, and without saying anything more to James, he turned around and walked to the alchemy workshop next to Foster with Foster. When James saw this, he did not follow him, but breathed a sigh of relief. Turn around and leave.
Perfect didn't pay attention to James who left. After she and Foster walked into the alchemy workshop, someone immediately came to greet her.
"Ah! Isn't this Miss Brandless? What a rare visitor! Your arrival really makes the shop shine!" A fat man who just listens to his voice makes people think he is a philistine. He appeared in front of Perfectcott with a flattering smile. While nodding and bowing to her, he was also rubbing his hands. He wore a pair of small round glasses on his face, which matched his pair of glasses and made them look like a pair when he smiled. The small sewed eyes look really full of joy.
Especially this fat man is wearing a tight vest, which makes his image even more hilarious.
But Purficott didn't show any smile when he looked at him, nor was he polite to the fat man. He just asked him in a calm tone: "Where is the thing I want?"
"Miss Brandless, your order has been completed, all the goods have been packed, and the store is preparing to deliver them to your home!" The fat man saw Purficott's cold attitude, and there was no expression on his face. However, his tone instantly changed when he spoke, and he said with a serious attitude: "The four micro steam engines and six high-strength transmission shafts and matching gear transmission boxes you want have been produced. However, the large propeller you ordered may be slightly delayed by two days due to some deviations in the woodworking. I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you, and the store is willing to compensate you for all losses!”
