Chapter 402 Synthetic Fiber Clothing
"Huhu~ I'm alive! Sure enough, you still need to drink hot tea to feel comfortable in winter!" Wei'er huddled in front of the fireplace, holding a teacup in her hand and sipping. Hot tea, while sighing: "It's so cold here, I really can't imagine how ordinary people will spend this winter! Without enough fuel and cold clothing, they will freeze to death."
In the past, Wei'er really never considered this. After all, the climate in the empire's mainland is much better than that in the north. Although winter is cold, it is not as cold as this.
Furthermore, she is a legendary alchemist. Even though her body regressed back to a childlike state after suffering the backlash, and her strength was also affected, her quality of life did not decline significantly.
In contrast, Purficott is more able to understand the hardships and hardships of ordinary people.
She just smiled and said: "Ordinary people have ways for ordinary people to survive the winter. Although it is true that some people will inevitably freeze to death, it is not as exaggerated as you think. Moreover, in the north, I have promulgated many relevant laws to ensure that ordinary people can survive the winter." They may have a harder time living in winter, but they won’t freeze to death.
If someone really freezes to death in the northern winter, then I have to find out what happened and whether there is anyone. "I have not carried out my orders."
Perficott had personally experienced the winter in the North in the past two years, so she knew exactly how difficult the winter in the North was, so she changed the policy. In terms of formulating laws and regulations, she did lean a lot in this direction.
Not only that, if people in the north are really struggling to make ends meet, they can seek help from the almshouses, ambulances and relevant departments specially set up by Purficott.
All in all, Purficott still thought of many ways to ensure that the people in the north could survive the winter smoothly.
"It would be great if you, the lord, know how to do this kind of thing. It is a blessing for the people in the north to have a lord like you!" Wei'er's praise of Perfectcott on this point was very sincere. .
After all, the end is approaching. If the imperial nobles follow the usual behavior at this time, not to mention the people at the bottom, even ordinary citizens will be abandoned by them.
In the apocalypse, the imperial nobles will only consider whether they can survive, but what about the people? It can't be said that they don't consider it, it can only be said that they really don't care about the vast majority of nobles who are not their subjects.
The imperial nobility is actually a very contradictory existence. They can crush the bones and marrow of their subjects, but at the same time they will really protect their subjects.
In the past feudal era, if something like one of their subjects was bullied, the more angry nobles would really start a war.
From this point of view, the current nobility is indeed worse than in the past. After all, after the reform of the imperial aristocratic system, the nobility basically lost the governance and jurisdiction over their fiefdoms, and they became indifferent to the life and death of ordinary people. Concerned.
After all, these ordinary people have nothing to do with them, and they really don't care. However, even the nobles who cared about the life and death of the people in the past were rarely like Perficott. Weier even felt that she was a little too kind.
"Is it really a blessing to have a lord like me? Why do I feel that not having a lord is the greatest blessing to the people?" Purficott laughed, no Continuing on this topic, he asked Weier: "How is the synthetic fiber project going? The report I received said that the factory has now begun to produce synthetic fiber cloth and process it into clothes for the public. Specific details. How is the situation? Are these clothes good at keeping out the cold? "
"The project is going well. Although I have given the main research tasks to Heine, you can rest assured about her level. The performance has fully met your requirements. I can’t say how good the quality of the clothes is, but at least there is no problem with keeping warm and cold.” When Perficott talked about business, Weier’s attitude became serious. Some: "However, I still need to emphasize that although clothes made of synthetic fibers have good cold-proof and thermal insulation effects, they can only withstand low temperatures of more than minus 20 degrees, and people cannot be exposed outdoors for a long time at this temperature. .
Although it’s not that I can’t make clothes that can withstand extreme cold, you emphasized that these are for ordinary people, so I have to consider the cost of making clothes. There are limits to performance, so that’s not my problem. ”
Weier is not trying to shirk responsibility, but is emphasizing to Purficott that she has indeed done some things to the extreme within the scope of conditions.
In this regard, Purficott He nodded understandingly: "I am also an alchemist, I can understand your approach, this is a necessary compromise. ”
As an alchemist, Purficott certainly knows that it is possible to make clothes that can withstand extreme cold. For example, the clothes she wears can withstand the extreme cold of minus 40 degrees. There will be no problem in maintaining human body temperature in extreme environments.
But she made this set of clothes herself, not to mention the cost of having an alchemist of her level do it herself. The material cost of clothing is not something that an ordinary family can afford without considering that the Philosopher's Stone is created out of nothing.
Sometimes things are like this. Seiko hand-rubbing can indeed make things with very exaggerated performance, but once you want to consider industrial mass production, you have to make a trade-off between cost and performance to find the most appropriate balance point.
So Weier said that the synthetic fiber clothes she made can only withstand the low temperature of minus 20 degrees, which is very good. Perfectcott will not force her to make clothing that can withstand minus 20 degrees. Clothes for temperatures in the low 40s.
Even for the coming apocalyptic winter, minus 40 degrees Celsius is relatively warm weather.
“It’s good that you can understand, but the performance of synthetic fibers is indeed very good. If we can study it in depth, I believe we can make clothing with better performance, but this aspect will take time and Long-term investment." Weier explained to Purficott.
"We will not consider this kind of thing for the time being. What we need to do now is to get through this disaster first. As for other things, we can wait until everything stabilizes before making improvements." Of course, Purficott She knows that as long as she continues to invest, she will naturally be able to obtain materials with better performance, but her focus at the moment is always on how to survive the impact of the doomsday winter and the various attendant problems: "First solve the problem of whether or not, and then to consider how to improve performance.”
