Chapter 127 The First Snow
However, the worries of the professors at Royal Langton University were actually unnecessary. For Perfectcott, she did not care much whether these professors had offended her.
In other words, for Purficott now, what she needs is someone who can come to work for her as she is busy every day, and will not deliberately worry about whether the other person has offended her. .
After all, every one of the alchemy professors at Royal Langton University is a qualified alchemy master. Having one more is one more person to work for. ,
Perfect herself is the only alchemist who can be useful in the north now. As for the assistants she recruited? There is indeed nothing wrong with helping her, but it is delusional to expect them to be able to independently take charge of any research projects.
Although they were all qualified in terms of knowledge, there was no talent among them that could make Purficott feel dazzled, let alone one that would allow her to hand over a research project to them with confidence.
Fortunately, these people can't manage the project, but there is still no problem in completing the tasks assigned by Purficott. This frees her from the heavy basic work and can focus on more important things. .
But with the first snowfall in winter and the various problems caused by the sudden drop in temperature, Purficott still felt anxious.
"What is the current situation in the fjord camp? Who is in charge now?" On the small train heading to the fjord, Purficott wrapped himself in a fur coat and asked the person sitting opposite him Colonel Richard inquired.
The carriage of the small train was not insulated. On this snowy day, the carriage was as cold as an ice cellar. Even the dignified Northern Guardian could only rely on heavy clothing to keep warm.
But at this time, Purficott was very fortunate that before the snow fell, the construction company finally built the railway from the fjord to Eagle Beak Cliff and the Eagle Beak Cliff to the coal mine, and the coal mine was put into operation.
Otherwise, she would be even more passive now facing the situation in front of her.
"Mr. Foster rushed to the military camp as soon as it snowed last night and directed the soldiers to clear the snow in the camp." Colonel Richard reported to Purficott The situation, with a worried expression on his face: "But the snow was really too heavy. When I left the military camp in the morning, some tents had been crushed, but fortunately there were no casualties."
The wind and snow in the north is unmatched by the mainland of the empire. Even though Colonel Richard had been mentally prepared before coming, he was still frightened and even a little confused when he saw the heavy snow last night. measures.
This is a very serious dereliction of duty for a qualified officer.
But for a person who has lived in the empire since childhood and has never seen a snowstorm, it is understandable that he would be frightened.
"If you want to live in the north, such snowstorms will be the norm in the future." Purficott shook his head and looked out the car window with a melancholy expression, where the never-ending blizzard was beating on the car. The window made a rustling sound: "I was also negligent. You should have reinforced the military camp."
Although Purficott was fully prepared for the wind and snow, even she did not expect that, The first snow she encountered in the north was actually so heavy that even she was shocked when she heard the news that it was snowing and got up to check.
So she will not criticize Colonel Richard for his gaffe in this matter. Naturally, she will not force others to do something that she cannot do herself.
"I can't blame you. Who could have imagined that the wind and snow in the North would be so severe? You have made us fully prepared, but we underestimated the wind and snow in the North." Richard Of course, Colonel De did not dare to let Purficott take the responsibility on herself, and hurriedly rescued Purficott.
But Purficott didn't care about this. She was not the kind of person who would fall into self-blame.
She just looked at Colonel Richard seriously and said to him seriously: "The most important thing right now is not to find out who is responsible, but to find a way to solve the problem. This snow will only be From the beginning, we still have a long winter to spend. Whether it is the winter clothes of the soldiers or the coal for heating, there must be no problem."
"Please rest assured. , I will keep an eye on these personally and ensure that there will be no problems." Colonel Richard assured him with a very serious attitude.
He also knew that this was something that should never be joked about. If there were really no problems, then not just one or two people would be frozen to death.
In addition, Colonel Richard also thought of another problem: "Your Majesty, the weather is so cold, there must be many soldiers suffering from frostbite or illness, but the fjord camp lacks necessary medical conditions, and there is only one military doctor accompanying the army. It is simply impossible to afford the treatment of so many people, we need more doctors!”
“Medical care is indeed a problem. First, transfer the sick and frostbitten soldiers to the Eagle Beak Cliff base by train. Doctor..." Purficott also felt a headache on this issue.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to hire more doctors, but that there aren’t that many qualified doctors at all.
In an era when surgeries do not even require anesthesia, it is better to expect that there are enough qualified doctors waiting to be hired than to expect that an airship of various types of experts will parachute in to solve the problem you are facing. various issues.
However, after this idea popped into her mind, Purficott did not completely think that it was a fantasy, because in the secret letter she sent back to Langton, she commissioned Princess Anne to conduct scientific research in the Arctic. In the name of helping her hire various scientists to form a scientific expedition team to come to the north.
If all goes well, it is indeed possible to spawn an airship scientist to help her solve the problem.
Of course, these are just thoughts. If you expect this to help you overcome the current difficulties, then Purficott would be too naive.
Instead of hoping that others can help you solve your problems, it is better to think about what you can do and rely on your own efforts to get through the difficulties.
The small train soon arrived at the fjord camp. When Purficott stepped out of the carriage, she felt the cold wind like a knife, which made her shiver.
The original camp was almost covered with heavy snow at this time, but soldiers could still be seen working hard to clear the snow in the camp to prevent the entire camp from being buried.
"Your Majesty, I am Captain White, and I have been ordered to welcome you." An officer in military uniform stood on the platform. Looking at the snow on his body, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Perficott arriving, he immediately stood at attention and saluted, and a group of soldiers following him also hurriedly raised their guns in a welcoming gesture.
Perfect nodded at him, and then said: "No need to do all this nonsense, how is the situation in the camp? Take me there, and we will talk as we walk."
said Then, she walked out of the station first and walked towards the camp.
