Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 337

The reason why the appearance of the stand-in doll is the same as that of ordinary people is actually due to the breakthrough of fantasy alchemy.

In the early days of the development of stand-in dolls, when Purficott could not use fantasy alchemy, she tried to use rubber to make silicone, thereby creating a "skin" similar to the simulated human tissue in the original world.

However, limited by the industrial level of this era and the development status of the chemical field, the development of silica gel was not smooth, at least not to the extent that satisfied Purficott.

Although she still came up with some useful things and developed alchemy dolls with special customized functions, the prices of those dolls were so expensive that people who were not rich and wealthy were not qualified to enjoy or ask about the price. .

And another point is that although silicone material can be made to resemble skin, it is not easy to care and maintain at all.

Not only do we need to avoid aging caused by long-term direct sunlight, we also need to clean it frequently to avoid dust contamination, and we also need regular maintenance...

Some early silicone materials even had problems such as oil production, and maintenance was even more troublesome.

The most important thing is that even with various maintenance methods, this kind of silicone product has a short service life and cannot be used for a long time at all. As for using it to imitate human skin as a skin for alchemy dolls, it is even more difficult. If you count on it, it won't take long for it to crack and break.

As for using those expensive alchemical materials on the doll's face? Of course it can be done, but on the one hand it is a cost issue.

By the way, before the end of World War II in the original world, uranium oxide was commonly used in European and American ceramic glazing at that time, which could produce quite bright and bright red or orange colors.

But for Purficott, using this thing as paint means she either wants to mutate or be buried in the ground.

Especially when she told the buyer that she needed red dye, and what was delivered to her was something as outrageous as uranium oxide.

Of course, there is no problem in meeting some special needs. Materials that completely match the touch of human tissue are a dimensionality reduction attack in this era, but the color difference that looks very bad cannot be saved.

After all, this kind of alchemy material itself requires a lot of precious materials. Even if Perficott had the Philosopher's Stone at the time to reduce the cost, she couldn't have used the Philosopher's Stone to rub all the dolls herself, right?

The alchemy dolls had already entered the mass production stage in the workshop, and Purficott had no intention of rubbing them one by one by himself.

Purficott tried to improve it, but it was really unable to solve the huge color difference problem between it and human skin.

In particular, the development of synthetic colors was still in its infancy during this era, and the pigments available to Purficott at the time were basically either toxic or harmful.

As for the other reason, it is naturally the effect produced by this kind of alchemical material that makes people know that it is fake at a glance.

Moreover, there was no guarantee of output by hand rubbing. After all, even if she had grown eight hands, she would not be able to meet the demand for alchemy dolls in Langton at that time.

In addition, the alchemy material itself was not easy to add color. After several attempts to no avail, Purficott had no choice but to shelve the project.

This also leads to the fact that alchemy dolls usually use hard materials as body surface materials, and the joints are directly exposed, making them look very different from real people.

Correspondingly, this kind of alchemy doll, which is completely inhuman, also avoids the uncanny valley effect, which saves Purficott a lot of trouble. But as she mastered fantasy alchemy, the material problem that troubled her was finally no longer a problem.

Through fantasy alchemy, Perficott not only obtained a skin-like material similar to silicone material, but also upgraded this material in one step. It not only has a feel and appearance similar to human skin, but also is easy to maintain. , maintenance and durable quality.

As a result, the design of the stand-in doll, which Perficott had considered when she first developed the alchemy doll, was quickly put into practice and produced by her.

The effect of the first appearance cannot be said to be shocking, but it is also calm.

However, this is exactly the effect that Perfectcott needs, because a good stand-in should be invisible to others, and not being able to see the flaws is the greatest success.

So at the dinner party, Princess Anne looked at the "Perfect" who was coping well in the drinking and drinking with great embarrassment.

But apart from being awkward, she also wanted to order a stand-in doll like this from Purficott so that she could handle the endless palace dances and various entertainment events for her.

As Princess Anne's identity as heir to the throne gradually became confirmed, she needed to be exposed to more and more things.

The Queen's transfer of power also caused Princess Anne to have more and more work in her hands. At the same time, she also needed to attend various official events.

This kind of entertainment is not just as simple as dances and tea parties, but also various public occasions that need to be attended, some important meetings that are meaningless but must be attended, and boring social interactions between nobles...

Princess Anne really couldn't stand these endless things, and at the same time, she thought they were a waste of time.

But she couldn't really push these things away. After all, although these things seemed to be a waste of time, they were also necessary human interactions.

This era is completely different from the highly developed information society of the original world. Communication between people can only be maintained by face-to-face communication. In addition, only telegrams and letters can be used to transmit news. .

In an era when the telephone had not yet been invented, there was naturally no way to completely get rid of communication with the outside world and live a self-sufficient life.

Therefore, interpersonal communication is unavoidable in any case. Even the royal family cannot avoid these. It is even necessary to use this method to win over people's hearts and maintain the relationship between the royal family and the nobility.

But Princess Anne's character is really tired of these social interactions. Knowing the truth about the end of the world, she really can't bear to waste time on these extravagances and luxury enjoyments when the end of the world is approaching.

She hopes to spend more time and energy on dealing with the apocalyptic winter, and at the same time, she hopes to use the money and resources used by the nobles for enjoyment to save more ordinary people.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do this, at least not until the Doomsday Winter Crisis was officially announced.

Therefore, Princess Anne could only speak out through some overt and covert channels, saying that she did not like extravagance, so as to reduce unnecessary waste in front of her.

As for socializing, she originally had no choice, but now that she has a stand-in doll, Princess Anne thinks this is really a good choice.
