Chapter 401 Winter is Coming
With the entire northern territory covered in snow, winter has truly arrived.
Although there was snowfall before, because the temperature continued to rise afterwards, it was not strictly winter yet.
When the real winter came in the north, everyone clearly realized that the previous snowfall was indeed not winter, and at most it could only be regarded as an appetizer before the dinner.
Because with the arrival of winter in the north, the temperature dropped directly to minus 20 degrees.
"Ah~ah! Why is it so cold!" Weier was wrapped in a thick coat and looked like a bloated dumpling. She was complaining to Purficott about the bad weather: "Northern Territory The winter is so cold, why did you choose to build the shelter here? Shouldn't you choose a more southern area? "
"There is no suitable location in the south, after all, between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer? Most of the area is ocean, and the only land area is mostly desert, and resources are scarce. Building a sanctuary empire in those places will require more resources." Perficott lowered his head and was busy with his own affairs. Still taking the time to answer Wei'er.
Her desk is full of official documents that need to be processed. With the arrival of winter, far more problems than before have appeared in the north.
Although the officials in the North have worked as hard as possible, more and more documents are piling up on Purficott's desk.
You must know that her desk was moved from Brandlees Manor in Longton. In Purficott's previous impression, the desk had been used by her grandfather's generation. The desk was big enough for her to lie down and roll on.
But now, this huge desk that can be used as a bed is filled with various documents, information and design drawings. It looks like it was wasted by a lazy girl who likes to dig out everything but is too lazy to clean it up. .
But neither Weier nor Perfectcott cared about it at all. This is how they looked when they were working.
Many times when an alchemist wants to study something and needs to consult a large amount of literature, he will spread all these documents around him for easy reference.
At the same time, all the drawings will be spread out and put aside. In addition to being used for comparison, more can also be modified directly.
If we also add areas for drawing, working and doing experiments, let alone a desk that can be used as a bed for lying down and rolling around, even if a bed is really placed here, it will be full of various things. Planting things.
Fortunately, Purficott is not the kind of person who throws things around casually. Although she spread things on the table, the position of each thing is in order. Although Purficott looks messy, But she can guarantee that when she is looking for something, she can find what she wants as long as she reaches out.
This habit helps to put a lot of things within easy reach, but if people who don't understand the rules look at it, they will find these things very messy.
But it is obvious that the old housekeeper next to Purficott has been with her for many years. It can even be said that the old man who watched her grow up is already familiar with and understands Purficott's habits, so he never Will mess with her things.
And Beifa? Are you sure an alchemy doll would have the emotion of feeling like the table is messy and wanting to help others clean it up?
If Befa really has this kind of emotion, then Purficott will not care about a tidy desk at all. She will be more concerned about how Befa's emotion arises.
You must know that the difference engine she used on Befa is a purely mechanical structure. There is no problem with this thing that a program error causes the machine to have emotions.
If there is a program error, all the gears and connecting rods inside the differential engine will be stuck, and there will be no emotions at all, only malfunctions. So Purficott's desk has always been in such a mess.
Except for the fact that new documents are delivered every day and someone sends away the processed documents, this table almost always looks like this.
Most of the maids in the Lord's Mansion are prohibited from entering Perfectcott's office. Only a handful of them have previously served as maids at Brandlis Manor and have gained the trust of the old housekeeper. Only a maid can enter this office.
Even so, they were not qualified to touch Purficott's desk, they could only help clean the office.
So in the office at this time, except for Weier who was curled up in front of the fireplace wrapped in a thick winter coat, there were only Purficott who was sitting at the desk reviewing documents and who was making tea for her next to her. The tea is perfect.
"Let Beifa give me a cup of hot tea, it's really too cold this winter! I don't know how people will live if the temperature continues to drop!" Wei'er complained, her Her body regressed back to the state of a child, which also made her more afraid of the cold than normal people.
Because Purficott is used to the winter in the north, and as an alchemist, she has already transformed her clothes into light and warm ones. On the contrary, it seems that she doesn’t wear much, but in fact She didn't feel cold when I fucked her.
“That’s why I had people dig underground shelters for ordinary people to take shelter from the cold in this cold winter.” Purficott turned his head and looked out the window. The snowy scenery looked like It is indeed beautiful, the whole city is covered in white snow, looking so quiet and pure.
But Purficott knew clearly that her people were enduring the severe cold at the moment.
It’s not that Purficott is stingy, or that the North is no longer enough to provide enough fuel for Chernobog, but that in such cold weather, there are still people who have to brave the cold to work, and Not in the warmth and comfort of home.
Czernobog is a newly built city anyway. Perficot had emphasized the cold protection and warmth of urban housing at the beginning, so the city's cold protection and warmth are actually pretty good. .
But streets, factories and other places do not have such good conditions for cold protection and warmth.
Especially in factories, because they need to install machines, they all use large-span beam buildings. The interior is very empty. In addition, the factory owner is reluctant or unable to add a stove for heating. It's not much warmer than outside.
Unless it is a special factory such as a steelmaking plant or a metal processing plant, a large amount of heat is required to heat the metal workpiece.
Of course, due to some laws and regulations promulgated in the north, factory owners still have to set up stoves near their workstations to prevent workers from getting frostbite or getting sick.
In that case, what they would face would be far higher fines and jail time than setting up a few stoves.
