Chapter 140 Project Advancement
With the joining of these professional scholars from Langton, various research projects at the Eagle Beak Cliff Base can finally be carried out smoothly, instead of waiting for Perficott to come by himself Solve technical problems one by one.
Biologist Professor Ariel led research on related technologies for greenhouse and crop cultivation in cold climate conditions.
Professor Heller took his students to the coal mine on a small train the day after the welcome banquet, intending to first study what the permafrost was like.
Professor Archibald, an expert in engineering, is responsible for assisting Perfectcott in completing research on new steam turbines. Together with him, he is responsible for this project as well as those who came to the north this time. One of the three alchemy professors.
Yes, there is only one professor in other fields, but three professors from the Alchemy Department came at once, and they also brought their most proud disciples and students.
Obviously, these professors of the Alchemy Department hope to repair the relationship with Perficott in this way, at least so that the Earl of the North will not dislike them.
Perfect really didn't care about this, so after the three professors apologized to her, she accepted their apologies.
Perficott then threw all three research projects in his hands to them.
I have to say that with professional professors presiding over the project, the research progress has improved a lot.
At least with the joint efforts of Professor Archibald and Professor Campbell who cooperated with him, the turbine blades needed by Purficott were quickly produced, and the material used was exactly the chromium alloy she said.
"My lord, you are indeed Langton's most talented engineer and alchemist. The design of this new steam engine is really a genius idea!" Professor Archibald praised Perficott, but at the same time he was also displeased. Expressed without regret: "It's a pity that you don't have a steel factory here and lack the ability to further process metal. Otherwise, I can try to further improve the performance of the material."
Obviously, Archibald Through research on chromium alloys, the professor determined that this material can further improve its performance after heat treatment.
In this regard, Purficott thought for a while and said: "In New Shaker City in the New World Colony, there is a steel merchant, Mr. Andrew, who has received my funding. He is currently responsible for producing steam knight armor for me.
If Professor Archibald needs help in this regard, you can go to New Shaker City to find Mr. Andrew. I don’t think he will refuse my request.”

Hearing Purficott say this, Professor Archibald showed a happy expression, but after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head regretfully and said: "The New World colonies are really far away from the north, and transportation is inconvenient in winter. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us..."
"No, in fact, if it is just traveling between the New World Colony and the Northern Territory, it is very simple to have an airship," Perficott said to Yaqi. Professor Bird smiled and then said: "You can use my airship. It should be able to travel between the North and the New World colonies in a short time.
In fact, I do need it to travel to and from the New World. Between the colony and the northern border, he is responsible for purchasing various supplies and medicines.
It must be said that the northern border is indeed lacking in products and has nothing to offer and can only rely on external input. ”
"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your generosity. I think the situation in the North will get better soon. With a talented leader like you, I believe the future of the North will be bright." Professor Archibald told Perd Ficott said complimentary words, but his attitude was very sincere, as if he really meant it.
Purficott was noncommittal about this. She just said that the North currently lacks too many things and has too many things to do: "Everything is a mess. Although I took over the role of Guardian of the North, However, I still feel unsure about how to open up the northern border. Fortunately, your arrival has given me a lot of confidence. At least I am no longer the only one to shoulder this important task. Thank you for your support. Help.
There are still many places in the north that need to rely on you, so please don’t be stingy with your wisdom.
Although you are all for the Arctic scientific research project. I have just come to the North, but I still hope that you can make some contributions to the people of the North, and I will also thank you accordingly."
Perficott knew clearly. , in the future, as the end of the world is exposed, these professors will inevitably stay in the north in the future.
So she is not shy about promising things, especially when these things come at no cost.
Professor Archibald naturally understood what Purficott meant. Although with his academic achievements, it would not be difficult to win himself a knighthood or a knighthood in the future, but this is different from the formal nobility. There is still a clear gap in titles.
So the price offered by Purficott is undoubtedly very attractive to him.
"Please rest assured, Lord Earl, I will contribute my talents to the empire and the north." Professor Archibald bowed slightly to Purficott reservedly.
Perficott was very satisfied with his answer, so he took the initiative to say to him: "According to my plan, there will be an industrial city in the north that will be responsible for exporting industrial products to the entire north. I still need your wisdom from Professor Archibald to design this city.”
"Although I have never designed a city, if I am of any use, please speak up, Earl." Professor Archibald gave an affirmative answer.
This makes Purficott very happy. According to the news that Princess Anne told her, the empire has now begun to recruit the first group of pioneers and immigrants who want to come to the north. After next spring They will be sent over once the waterway is restored.
So before that, Purficott must make a plan on how to place these people.
Although the empire will provide sufficient assistance, she is now the lord of the north, and she still has to do one thing.
Princess Anne had a frank talk with Purphycott. If Purphycott felt that things were too much and cumbersome, the royal family would send someone to take over everything, but correspondingly her title of Guardian of the North would not be the same. It becomes just a title.
But if Perficott took matters into her own hands, the royal family would always recognize her right to rule the North.
This remains unchanged even after the end of the world when the empire moves from the mainland to the north, and this has been confirmed by the Queen.
In other words, as long as Purficott survives this most difficult time, she will be the most powerful person in the entire Victoria Empire after the end of the world.
