The doppelganger Perfikot did not intend to announce or sell the doppelganger puppet for now. Even when Eldest Princess Annie earnestly begged for it, Perfikot still refused and declined with reasons like manufacturing difficulties.
It's not that she was unwilling to make a doppelganger puppet for Eldest Princess Annie. Given the closeness of their relationship, Perfikot was willing to help with this favor.
However, after comprehensive consideration, she decided not to spread the doppelganger puppet for the time being.
Nonetheless, she promised Eldest Princess Annie that she would make a doppelganger puppet for her when the time was right.
Eldest Princess Annie did not press for it either, as she understood the current state of affairs, and Perfikot should focus more energy and time on other tasks rather than making a doppelganger puppet for her.
Moreover, for Eldest Princess Annie, the main use of the doppelganger puppet was to handle her cumbersome social engagements and some meaningless royal duties she did not want to attend.
For these tasks, the Royal Family could arrange substitutes for Eldest Princess Annie, so a doppelganger puppet was not a necessity.
Yes, the Royal Family also has a tradition of using doppelgangers.
Typically, they are prepared for the Empress or the heir to the throne when necessary, mainly to deal with relatively dangerous situations.
For example, during a state of war, when Eldest Princess Annie, as a representative of the Royal Family, had to appear publicly in open outdoor venues, a doppelganger would perform these relatively dangerous tasks to ensure her personal safety.
Therefore, Eldest Princess Annie's need for a doppelganger puppet was not as strong as it appeared.
Apart from this minor interlude, the inauguration ceremony of Chernobyl proceeded very smoothly. From then on, the Northern Territory had its truly significant capital, with more related functions transferring to this city.
As for Eagle's Beak Cliff, which originally served as the temporary capital, it would focus more on its primary scientific research functions.
Moreover, Perfikot intended to expand it into the Northern Territory's research center, with the relevant plans being designed; everything was moving according to her scheduled plan.
However, Perfikot would not return to Eagle's Beak Cliff for the next period; instead, she would remain stationed in Chernobyl.
Firstly, as a newly inaugurated capital, there were too many tasks and issues needing her personal coordination and handling.
Not to mention the handling of the Independents, which required her personal presence for a more appropriate resolution, rather than eliminating one wave today only for a new wave to emerge tomorrow.
Not saying to completely eradicate them, but at least ensure that they would not dare to surface again in a short time.
On the other hand, Perfikot needed to complete the design and construction of the city's Energy Tower, enabling Chernobyl to have a city-level energy source and address the heating issues for future underground shelters.
If it was before acquiring Imaginary Alchemy, this would not be an easy task.
Even if Perfikot knew that geothermal heat could be harnessed through heat pumps to provide a stable energy source for the city, realizing such a concept in the early 18th-century industrial revolution was very challenging.
Not to mention that Perfikot wanted a city-level heating system.
Such extensive geothermal heating systems would be remarkably challenging even in the original world's technologically advanced 21st century, let alone with the three-hundred-year technological gap between the two worlds.
If not for the cheat tool of alchemy, which could somewhat bridge the gap in technology and industrial productivity, Perfikot would not consider this method to solve the city's heating problem.
However, even with that, traditional reality-based alchemy to achieve Perfikot's required effects was a grand project, so immense that Perfikot was uncertain she could accomplish it conclusively.
After all, such city-level projects, though not impossible for this era, were so large in scale that, under normal circumstances, only world-class cities like the capitals of Langton or France would have the capability to complete such a project.
Therefore, in the original plan, while the shelters under settlements would also install Energy Towers, their scale was much smaller, merely maintaining village and town-level heating.
But with the advent of Imaginary Alchemy, Perfikot felt she might not need to be so stingy and could boldly expand her plans.
Because using Imaginary Alchemy, the efficiency and power of the geothermal pump could be enhanced to a level even the original world's technology found hard to reach. Even with smaller devices, wider heating coverage could be ensured.
In other words, the village-town-level Energy Tower could meet the heating needs of a small city, whereas the city-level Energy Tower could safeguard more people's survival.
Nevertheless, even so, this was still a significant project, so Perfikot was uneasy about entrusting such an important task to others. She needed to personally oversee this matter.

"Count, here is the reserved slot for the Energy Tower installation as per your request. Do you see any areas needing improvement?" The head of Chernobyl's underground construction bowed before Perfikot, fearing he might offend this distinguished figure.
Perfikot paid no heed to the official's flattery, even disregarding his introduction, as for her, as long as this person completed their work well, everything else was irrelevant.
"So far, your job seems well done; keep up the good work." Perfikot offered no particular pleasantries, merely giving the official some new instructions: "I need you to build a construction lift on the reserved space around the installation slot. Nearby factories will deliver processed components, and the subsequent installation tasks can also be entrusted to you.
I don't wish to see any mistakes or accidents that I don't want to see. I hope you understand my point and complete it without deviations! Is there any problem?"
"No problem! Rest assured, we will complete any commission of yours with the highest standards in mind!" The official thumped his chest in assurance, hoping to convince Perfikot of the absence of issues.
"I look forward to it." Perfikot merely cast a light glance at the other party without giving much comment on his assurance.
