Chapter 489 Purficott’s Praise
“You two, please stay here for a moment, the Earl will be here shortly.” A maid led Schopenhauer and Weasley into a reception room. Tea and snacks were served to the two of them.
The two of them sat down on the sofa, looking somewhat reserved.
However, the black tea and snacks provided by the maid quickly made the two of them relax somewhat.
In the empire itself, material supplies have fallen into a very scarce situation. Even people with statuses like Schopenhauer and Weasley have not been able to drink black tea for a long time, let alone other snacks. .
The empire's domestic tea is entirely imported from the Eastern colonies. Now that sea shipping has been almost completely interrupted, even if the empire can continue to maintain exchanges with the colonies using airships and there is a certain amount of goods trade, it can still be done as much as possible. It mainly contains various valuable materials and critical materials, and it is impossible to free up precious transportation capacity to transport luxury goods such as tea.
Of course, if you are the Earl of the North, you can indeed enjoy this luxury.
After all, she invented the airship. All airship manufacturers in the empire must pay her patent fees, and those companies that operate airship transportation business hope to curry favor with this airship. The mother of airships, I hope she can provide subsequent upgrades and transformation plans for airships.
Although other alchemists and engineers can do this kind of thing, compared with the inventor Perficott, other people's designs are really hard to impress or revolutionary. breakthrough.
In order to please Purficott, using an airship to transport some tea leaves to her is really not a big deal.
After all, if you drink alone, how many kilograms of tea can you drink every day throughout the year? It is easy to squeeze out space for a few boxes of tea on an airship.
Just because space can be squeezed out on the airship, it does not mean that everyone is qualified to enjoy this privilege and service.
It seems that many things may just be a matter of the parties involved opening their mouths, but the power, status, and invisible influence involved behind them are quite astonishing.
For Schopenhauer, who had not had tea for almost half a year, this luxurious treatment was enough for him to fully feel the tremendous power and influence of Perfectcourt.
“I didn’t expect that in the north, I could still drink good black tea. This is really...” Schopenhauer said with emotion. At this time, the door of the reception room was pushed open directly. open.
"The Earl of Brandlis has arrived." The attendant at the door announced loudly, and Purficott walked directly in, still holding the technical report he had received before.
She seemed to have heard Schopenhauer's emotion just now, and replied casually: "It's just tea. If you like it, you can ask the maid for it later and ask them to prepare a jar for you."
"Thank you very much, Lord Count!" Schopenhauer quickly stood up and bowed to salute Perficott. Weasley on the side quickly swallowed the snack in his mouth and bowed to Perfectcott.
Although magicians often behave very arrogantly, Weasley really does not have the capital to be arrogant towards the top dignitaries of the empire like the Earl of the North.
After all, during the past few months of participating in the research, he had fully realized what an amazing figure the Earl of the North was.
“No need to be polite, I don’t like these false gifts. I prefer some practical things than these. For example, tell me about your technical ideas and how you came up with the idea of combining magic arrays and energy towers. Up?" Purficott sat down on a sofa in the reception room, his expression casual and relaxed, but his eyes showed a little curiosity: "Although this is the research result of the previous president of the Magic Association, Mr. Endymion. , but being able to dig it out from the pile of old papers and combine it with something like an energy tower that has nothing to do with magic..."
At this point, Purficott deliberately paused and added His eyes were focused on Weasley, and the young magician almost thought he had something dirty on his face when he was eating snacks just now.
Then she continued: "Based on my understanding of the Magic Association and the introduction of a lady who is very familiar with the Magic Association, this is probably not something that you can think of, nor is it something that the old diehards of the Magic Association can think of. Something I agree with."
"Well, actually it was just a whim." Wizard Weasley scratched his red hair sheepishly, revealing some of it. Awkward smile: "I was ordered to search through the association's archives for information that could cope with the doomsday crisis. I found this research result of the previous president, so I suddenly thought that if I could use this technology to connect a boiler to the magic On the array, can we continue to provide energy for the magic array?
I told my mentor about this idea and showed him a model I made myself. Although he was opposed to it at first and scolded me for being deviant, he eventually supported me and helped me convince the association. President Grindelwald secured the opportunity to cooperate with the church. "
"I see, I have to say that you have a better brain than those old die-hards. "Although Purficott's words were a compliment to Weasley, from another perspective they were all disdain for the Magic Association: "But although this idea is very creative, the means or methods you use to realize this idea... The idea is really..."
Perfect tried to think of how to use less derogatory and unpleasant words to describe it, but in the end he could only call it "stupid".
"You guys It is completely possible to bypass at least seven energy conversion programs. Didn't you find that in the energy conversion process you designed, at least six links have repetitive functions? Magic is done once, alchemy is done again, the functions all overlap, the process is meaningless, and you repeat things three times that only need to be done once. Purficott shook his head and threw the technical report on the coffee table helplessly: "Didn't the two of you have any technical exchanges and verifications?" How could something so outrageous happen? "
"We have had technical exchanges, but..." Schopenhauer and Weasley looked at each other, and they both saw embarrassment in each other's eyes: "The main reason is that we think there is a difference between magic and alchemy. Technical barriers and gaps. Although the two technologies can be combined, in the final analysis they are two technical systems. We are worried that problems will arise when grafting them together. ”
"Really? In a nutshell, it's still the conservative technology and those old guys that restrict you from revealing the core technology, right?" Purficott pointed out the key point.
However, she did not criticize the two people in front of her too much, but still praised them: "Although the problem-solving ideas are old-fashioned and conservative, and the design is difficult to describe as innovative, I have to say that you can It is indeed not easy to come up with this plan, and it deserves praise.”
