Chapter 198 - 196: Returning to New Xiake
Perfikot was filled with interest toward the Flying Stone, urgently wanting to delve deeper into research.
However, there was no environment on the Flying Airship for her to conduct experiments; after all, a Flying Airship is different from a cruise ship.
Although she had originally designed a small laboratory on the Flying Airship she built, with the change in circumstances, that airship had already changed its use, and naturally, some of its facilities were altered as well.
As for the Behemoth, it was even more so; this Flying Airship, which had effectively been requisitioned by the Navy, was completely militarized in both structure and function, and naturally, there was no place for Perfikot to set up a laboratory.
Moreover, unlike cruise ships, Flying Airships flying in the sky inherently have some dangers. If an experiment accidentally caused a fire, it could take everyone on board down with it.
Don’t think that just because Perfikot is a master of alchemy, she has never burned down a laboratory.
Furthermore, the key issue is that the Flying Airship’s voyage is inherently shorter than that of a ship, and its flying speed can reach 80km/h, much faster than a ship.
Flying from Langton to New Shaker took less than two days in total, which was not even enough time to set up a laboratory, let alone conduct any research.
The reason Perfikot came to New Shaker instead of heading directly back to the Northern Territory was mainly to check in with the Governor of the New Continent about the major development set to begin in the Northern Territory after the spring.
Perfikot was somewhat satisfied with this Governor of the New Continent, though he admittedly had a few more small schemes and played some tricks behind the scenes; as long as he did not hinder her, Perfikot felt this could be tolerated.
