Chapter 118 Elevator
Perfect did not immediately open a document for Oliver. Although she can indeed write it now, she has not been officially canonized as the Guardian of the North at this time, and the relevant seals and the like Things have not been taken over, and the development documents written are still somewhat informal.
After all, this is her first vassal, Purficott still hopes to make it more formal, and she also needs to discuss it with the old housekeeper.
Of course, the most important thing is that Purficott hopes to canonize his first vassal at the ceremony when he is officially canonized as the Guardian of the North. This will not only have a more ceremonial feel, but also show his gratitude to the Northern Territory. The world shows its majesty.
At the very least, she is not a mere commander without even a retainer.
Although as long as Purficott is willing, there will be a lot of people who want to join her at any time.
Even if the North is really poor and has nothing, it also means that there are no old aristocratic forces entrenched in the North. Everything is a new beginning and a blank picture waiting to be painted.
This will be an excellent opportunity for many people who are interested in becoming a noble or proving their abilities.
In fact, Purficott did consider whether to return to Langton to recruit some talents.
After all, the army is easy to deal with. Among the empire's huge military operations, if she randomly assigns a few troops to herself, or simply assigns a number for her to form, she can quickly put together a worthy one. Use the army.
After all, the army in the first industrial revolution era was just transformed from a classical army to a modern army. It did not actually have many requirements for the quality and training level of its soldiers.
The soldiers that various countries can recruit in this era are basically not serious good people, and most of them are not even farmers.
At least farmers can still farm and pay taxes for the country. But most of these soldiers are people who don't even have land, formal jobs and stable income. They join the army when they can't make ends meet.
In the original world, countries began to reform their military systems, optimize their soldiers, and improve their military's combat quality only after Napoleon proposed the all-military service system.
So for Purficott, even if what she brings out is only the level of university military training, it is no problem to train an army that is passable in this era.
After all, in the era of queuing to kill, the most important thing is discipline. As long as this is guaranteed, everything else will be easy.
But administrative staff are not so easy to get together, or relatively speaking, they are not so easy to get together.
Although the empire has a large civil service force, and Langton's university continues to send qualified graduates to the empire every year, recruiting them is much more difficult than recruiting a group of big soldiers.
If the big-headed soldiers can't be recruited, they can still use prisoners and street gangs to make up their numbers, but qualified internal affairs bureaucrats can't make do.
However, considering the large number of nobles in the empire and the fact that not everyone who graduates from Langton every year can find a suitable job, Purficott is skeptical about whether he can recruit suitable officials. I and my staff are not worried.
She was more worried about whether the people she recruited were trustworthy enough to allow Purficott to trust them with the task at this critical moment in dealing with the coming apocalypse.
And whether they can still maintain their loyalty when the end comes, instead of having undue thoughts due to the great changes in the world.
This question is not only for those who may be recruited by her in the future, but also for everyone else involved in the empire's plan to deal with the end of the world.
The human heart is always the most inestimable existence in this world, whether it is good or evil, good or bad. Purficott doesn't want to test people's hearts. She will use methods more in line with the alchemist's style to ensure that she will not be affected by this.

The airship carried everyone back to the Eagle Beak Cliff Advanced Base, and everyone who followed Perfectikt here also saw it for the first time. this place.
What surprised most people was that the Eagle Beak Cliff Base was not as crude, or as bad, as they imagined.
Although when you look down from the sky, you will feel that the houses here are extremely low and there are not even roads, but you can still see that there is good architectural planning here, with clear functional zoning, and the houses and buildings All have been built, and the planned narrow-gauge railway is being built as expected.
Although everything seems not to be called prosperous, it is just in order, and it looks quite prosperous.
What's strange is that the buildings here all have huge spires and are very low at the same time. It looks like the designer only designed the spire when designing the spire and forgot about the tower body.
Besides these weird buildings, everything else at the Eagle Beak Cliff base looks normal.
The airship landed on the Eagle Beak Cliff, which has been transformed into a docking platform by Purficott, specially used for parking the airship.
Beside the airship parking platform is a huge elevator, driven by steam to transport cargo and people.
This can also be regarded as one of the facilities set up by Perficott in anticipation. Although Eagle Beak Cliff is not high, it is still inconvenient to climb up and down. If large quantities of airships are used to transport goods from here in the future, , it is obviously not very realistic to rely on manpower or animal power to move goods up and down.
But when this thing is in operation, the huge roar of steam and the sound of metal friction make it look more like some kind of monster than an elevator.
Perficott has considered optimizing its use experience, but she was so busy with various things that she did not take time out.
But after taking a look at the alchemists who came down from the airship with him, Purficott thought for a while and said to them: "Someone among you can solve the problem of excessive noise in this elevator. "?"
"I can! I can optimize its structure and improve its lifting method to reduce the noise!" A young alchemist quickly raised his hand to say that he could do it.
Perfect noticed that he had a technician badge on his collar.
Others are not far behind and have come up with their own solutions. It seems that no one is willing to express their incompetence on this issue.
Perfect nodded slightly, and then said: "I will give you a chance. Each of you will submit a proposal. I will decide your division of labor in my laboratory based on your proposal."
After saying that, Purficott took the lead in walking into the elevator without waiting for their reaction.
In a sense, this big guy that roars and spits out white steam is actually quite steampunk romantic.
