Chapter 244 Whaling Ship
After getting a definite answer to the question of whale oil, Perfectcott sent an airship to the New World to purchase it.
Although this behavior seems a bit extravagant, it is still within the acceptable range for Purficott. After all, the airship will travel to the New World every week to purchase supplies and purchase some by the way. Whale oil was just a thing along the way.
Currently there is no large-scale industrialization in the Northern Territory, and the demand for consumables such as lubricants is not large, so the amount of goods purchased by an airship is enough to last the entire Northern Territory for a long time.
In addition to letting the airship purchase whale oil and other lubricants, Perficott also asked Andrew to help her purchase a whaling ship after returning to the New World and help recruit a qualified captain. with other human hands.
Although there is currently not much demand for whale oil in the North, considering that various factories from the mainland and the New World will be relocated this year, some preparations must be done in advance.
A whaling ship is necessary for the current situation in the north, and stocking up on some industrial raw materials in advance will also be helpful for the normal operation of various factories in the future.
Although it sounds like a whaling ship can obtain not much whale oil, if you consider that in the original world in the 19th century, the first industrial revolution had been basically completed, the world only had less than a thousand. From a whaling ship, you can understand that the output of a whaling ship is still amazing.
So Purficott currently only plans to purchase a whaling ship for emergency use. As for the expansion of industrial production in the future, and what to do after the extreme cold apocalypse comes and the ocean freezes in two years, that is another matter.
——————————————
As the shaman of the Wild Mane Tribe, Lily believed that she was far from being able to stand on her own, and that she still had a lot to learn from her master.
But because after the tribe surrendered to the north, it was necessary to send someone to stay with Perfectikt, so Lily, as the future shaman of the tribe, was sent out after discussion between the chief and the old shaman. On the one hand, it was to express the sincerity of the Wild Mane Tribe's surrender to Purficott. On the other hand, the chief and the old shaman also hoped that she could see more of the world and better help the Wild Mane Tribe grow in the future.
It is precisely because she carries so many expectations that Lily has been working very hard since arriving at Eagle Beak Cliff.
She worked hard to learn the Victorian language, accepted new knowledge, and adapted to life in Eagle Beak Cliff. However, everything here was very different from the life in the tribe. Even though Lily had already She worked very hard to adapt, but she was still not used to everything in Eagle Beak Cliff.
Everything here is very new to her, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to all aspects of life. There are so many new things that Lily can't accept them.
Among them, trains are undoubtedly what Lily is most interested in.
I have never seen an iron cart running on a track made of steel that is better than the best iron in the tribe. It can run faster than the ancestral warriors of the Wildmane tribe without any animals pulling it. It was even faster and could pull an astonishing amount of cargo, which shocked Lily greatly and made her very interested in this huge steel creation.
How was such a huge iron car made? How big of a forge and anvil would be needed to make such a large iron cart? What does it eat to run?
All kinds of questions lingered in the little shaman's mind, even causing her to delay her homework.
But Lily soon adjusted. It’s not that her interest in trains waned, but after asking the person in charge of receiving her about the trains, she learned what she was curious about. Things are a huge and complex system, and if she wants to understand them, she must first lay a solid foundation. This made the little shaman feel very depressed, but he quickly cheered up and began to study hard like thirsty.
During the learning process, the little shaman also learned that the Northern Lord, who was slightly younger than her, was the most genius among white people and one of the most knowledgeable people in the world.
Although this statement has not received any official recognition or general consensus, for those who often come into contact with Perfectcott, her achievements have already proven her genius and profound knowledge. She is one of the most knowledgeable people in the world and there is nothing wrong with her. From some perspectives, she can even remove the suffix "一".
And this undoubtedly made the little shaman develop an inexplicable admiration for Perfecticot, just like the first time he saw his master perform shamanic magic when he was a child, making the flowers in the forest bloom. The same worship that rises.
It’s just that at that time Lily became a small shaman apprentice, but now Purficott is unlikely to guide her.
After all, she was just a hostage sent by the local indigenous tribe, and even without this level of identity, it would only be harder, not easier, for Lily to learn from Perficott.
In addition to the lord of the north and the earl of the empire, Perficott is currently the most accomplished alchemist in the Victoria Empire. This is after she destroyed the capitals of three countries with thermobaric bombs. , has already gained the acquiescence of the entire empire, and even the entire old world.
After all, the thermobaric bomb is indeed a weapon that can change the world. Coupled with the airship and the steam knight armor, two inventions that can also affect the entire world, Purficott's achievements are already changing the world. .
Within the Victoria Empire, there are even some of her extreme admirers who believe that Purficott should be written into textbooks, ranking her name before Master Watt, who invented the steam engine in this world.
Although this matter was only a public opinion raised in the newspaper, there is no doubt that after this proposal was said, it quickly caused a huge storm of public opinion within the Victoria Empire. From nobles to commoners, a large number of Everyone joined in the discussion.
The focus of the discussion is not whether Perfectcott should be included in textbooks. Her achievements are beyond doubt, and inclusion in textbooks is even something that is already being promoted.
The real point is whether her name should be higher than that of Master Watt. After all, the steam engine he invented really led an era.
Judging from Purficott’s current inventions, the three things she invented have not yet led an era.
However, even if there is controversy, there is no doubt that Purficott is the best alchemist in the Victoria Empire and even the Old World. It can be said that if she wants to accept a disciple, she wants to be her disciple. If you can line up from the north to Longton, no matter what, there won't be a little Aboriginal girl.
But Lily did not have no chance to contact Purficott. At least for now, she was summoned by Purficott again.
