Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 720 The Crisis Is Not Over
Although Perfect has decided to invest in the colonies so that they can form a two-way economic system with the North, for now this is only a long-term plan and vision.

Although Perfecto finally convinced others to support her decision at the cabinet meeting, one obvious problem could not be avoided: there was no money in the treasury.

Although the first phase of the economic development plan has achieved initial results, under the guidance of the idea of ​​concentrating resources on developing key industries, the current development of the North and the New World is good, and the government's fiscal situation has returned to normal levels.

But the national treasury is still basically as poor as a rat.

Although some funds can be squeezed out if you insist, this amount of money is not enough to support any major projects, let alone start the economic construction of the colony.

Moreover, this amount of funds can be said to be the last reserve in the national treasury, and is an emergency reserve to be used in critical moments.

No matter how much Perfect would think about it, he would not touch the money.

However, according to the report of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the current financial situation has returned to normal levels. If the momentum of steady growth can be maintained next year, we can try to carry out initial construction of various colonies in the fourth quarter of next year.

Before that, the cabinet could also send working groups to various colonies to carry out preliminary preparations and advance construction.

After all, the various colonies had been attacked by the doomsday winter before, and although they were not completely destroyed, they were severely damaged.

When Anne went to re-suppress the colonies before, they were in trouble because of the impact of the disaster, and ambitious forces in various places took this opportunity to seize power.

Although the various colonies were now re-suppressed, the situation had not improved.

Anne's actions simply eliminated the ambitious rebels, while teaching the colonies the basic skills and techniques for surviving the cold winter.

Judging from the information we have received so far, although each colony has established shelters and is doing its best to restore the economy and people's livelihood, it is still struggling.

Sending a working group to various colonies to help them resume production as much as possible will also facilitate future trade.

After all, a colony that produces nothing is meaningless to Victoria today.

In the past, perhaps due to various reasons such as geographical location, the empire would build some colonies that did not have much economic value for various needs.

For example, supply points located on key routes, or fortresses with key strategic locations. In the past, the empire would spend a lot of money and resources to build and maintain these key locations.

But with the arrival of the doomsday winter, even the ocean has frozen into a huge ice field, and many key nodes in the past have lost their original functions.

In addition, Victoria's economy is almost on the verge of collapse, so naturally it has no energy to maintain these places.

As for now, Perfecto has no interest in these places either.

The population and power of the Empire have been evacuated from these places, and now only some abandoned buildings are left, which are of no value to the Empire today.

Although Perfect will consider building some bases for maintenance and supply in key locations after the flying battleship project is successfully put into production, there is no such plan at present.

To reach this point, we must at least wait until the exchanges between the North and the colonies stabilize.

Moreover, considering the speed and endurance of airships, it really doesn't require much maintenance and supply to travel between the North and the various colonies. Moreover, the current situation of the various colonies may not be able to maintain the operation of these supply bases.
-
"So we still need large transport ships! If we want to start trade, cargo transportation is the most critical point to maintain trade routes." Perfect organized the trade plan he had drawn up, and the expression on his face was not very clear.

Although the situation in all aspects showed signs of improvement, there was always a sense of instability in Perfect.

It was as if something was threatening her, making her always worried and nervous.

If this was just her illusion, it would be fine, but the problem was that she knew clearly that some things were not illusions.

Although the Old Gods have not taken any action since they sent two people to trap her in her dream last time, and even there has been no movement from Langton during this period of time, but Perfect knew clearly that the Old Gods would not give up so easily.

Moreover, even if the Old Gods did not take any action and really let the North go, it would be difficult for the North to live in peace for long.

After all, the deadline of three hundred years is here, and the temperature will continue to drop until the core of the entire planet is frozen in three hundred years.

This may seem a long way off at first, but Perfect knows clearly that this process is terribly short.

What it froze was not the mountains, rivers, or other wind, rain, thunder and lightning, but the planet that carries the entire human race.

And it's not just the surface of the planet that is frozen, but the core of the planet, from the outside in, will be completely frozen.

Under normal circumstances, this level of cooling would take at least tens of thousands of years, or at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

You have to know that this is the frozen core of a planet! Not anything else.

If you want to freeze the core of the earth within three hundred years, you can almost imagine the surface temperature.

You should know that at minus 70 degrees you can see carbon dioxide turning into liquid and falling, and at minus 140 degrees all the carbon dioxide in the air will be frozen into snowflakes.

If the temperature continues to drop to minus 160 degrees Celsius, even the oxygen will condense into blue snowflakes and fall, and all creatures that need to breathe will be frozen to death.

So Perfect actually wanted to complain that the low temperature in a game she had played in the original world was really outrageous.

But the game is fake, and the disaster she has to face is not.

Although the North has never encountered a blizzard of minus 120 degrees Celsius, this level of low temperature is not insurmountable due to the existence of the energy tower, but the temperature is constantly dropping.

Although the North seems to have survived the most difficult stage thanks to the application of various technologies, its ability to resist the cold is gradually increasing, and even the cities have gradually regained their vitality.

But Perfectocte knew that these were just fragile illusions.

Once the temperature continues to drop, or if extremely bad weather occurs, the North's newly recovered vitality will be like a fragile glass container placed on a high platform, which will shatter with just a slight push.
