Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 619 - 583 Resumption of Work and Production

Under Perfikot's numerous efforts, despite experiencing waves of tsunamis, cold spells, and typhoons, Langton City has managed to endure and was not destroyed by these events.

Currently, the population of nearly 900,000 in the inner city, although incomparable to its once glorious peak, remains that of a large city of considerable scale.

Moreover, so far, the residents of Langton Inner City have generally maintained food and clothing security, with everyone having a warm place, and even though temperatures have dipped to -40℃, no one has died from freezing.

The medical system has also been reestablished and effectively operated under Perfikot's efforts, effectively controlling the spread of various diseases brought about by tsunamis, cold spells, and other disasters.

Even Langton's schools have gradually resumed operations at Perfikot's request, and elementary schools in various shelters are fully reopened, with over ninety percent enrollment rates for children under fourteen.

This even before the apocalypse was a difficult number to achieve for Langton City.

However, now, Langton's municipal government employees and the church's dual efforts have accomplished what is hard to achieve under normal circumstances.

This brings Perfikot a feeling of surprise and satisfaction, for which she even rewarded the head of the education department with a large mansion, making them another person to move into a standalone residence.

Besides these, the number of factories in Langton City able to resume operation is also gradually increasing, and Perfikot has aptly prompted the slogan "Resuming work, rebuilding new homes," starting a movement to get factories back to operation as much as possible.

Of course, the idea of all factories resuming operation is impractical.

On one hand, there's the issue of the market for industrial products; on the other, there's the issue of raw materials.

Though Perfikot and Sanderion have reformed the remaining Alchemist Association in Langton, allowing it to provide various industrial raw materials through Imaginary Alchemy, this is not a long-term plan, nor is it the most efficient practice.

These alchemists, having mastered Imaginary Alchemy, can even replace factories to directly produce the industrial goods needed, thereby wasting capacity by using them for raw material production.

Moreover, an important use of Imaginary Alchemy is to provide fuel for the Energy Towers throughout Langton.

With the successive onslaught of tsunamis, typhoons, and cold spells, even rail transportation connecting with other cities in the Empire's mainland has been disrupted, and essential life materials like coal cannot be imported.

So, for the alchemists, ensuring the normal operation of the Energy Towers is now their most crucial work.

Nevertheless, to allow some factories to resume operation, Perfikot had to temporarily choose this method to get the factories running first.

As for the issue of producing raw materials, she began scrutinizing and investigating all factories, converting a portion of them into facilities capable of sourcing and producing industrial raw materials locally.

This way, although it cannot immediately solve the problem of industrial raw materials, it can at least provide a stable supply of the necessary industrial raw materials for some factories.

Other factories would be adjusted and transformed according to their original typologies and current needs.

For instance, a factory originally dedicated to mass-producing textiles depended on importing raw materials like cotton yarn from the colonies, processed into fabric, and then sold to the colonies.

The largest factory used to exclusively supply the New Continent colonies, and its annual production capacity could satisfy the entire New Continent colonies' demand for fabric.

However, Langton now evidently does not need such large production capacity, nor does it have such significant sources of raw materials.

Thus, Perfikot adjusted it, converting part of the factory into a chemical fiber production workshop, using synthetic fibers to make fabric to clothe the tens of thousands of residents in Langton City.

Incidentally, once the trade routes between Langton and the Northern Territory are restored, it can provide goods for Langton and the New Continent.

As for the chemical fiber's raw materials, it's currently mainly reliant on Imaginary Alchemy, but Perfikot has already ordered searches for oil around Langton.

According to a few geologists Perfikot found, underwater oil fields exist in the surrounding maritime areas.

Once the positions are confirmed, drilling work can commence.

For this, Perfikot also provided ample support, dispatching three Flying Airships specifically to seek out oil fields.

However, so far, due to the entire sea surface being frozen, exploration progress has been somewhat slow.

Perfikot knows this cannot be rushed, so she hasn't hurried them, only ordered the formation of more exploration teams, using a widespread approach to seek potential oil fields.

Fortunately, to date, the presence of Imaginary Alchemy is considered perfect; like playing a game with infinite resources, it can meet any raw material needs.

Aside from its limited overall production capacity and necessary consumption of alchemists' Spiritual Power, this technology is almost perfect.

This has also led to a quick recovery of Langton's inner city, even faster than Perfikot anticipated.

Langton City has now essentially restored the order it should have, with city life gradually reawakening within the Energy Tower's covered areas.

Everyone is working and living hard, and no one is wasting this hard-earned precious opportunity, striving with all they have to live and survive.

Perfikot is very satisfied with this accomplishment, feeling like she has achieved perfection regarding her maximum effort to restore Langton's situation to this degree within a short two months.

And precisely because Langton's situation is steadily stabilizing, Perfikot has also rescheduled her plan to return to the Northern Territory.

However, before she sets off back to the Northern Territory, there's a critical issue yet unresolved.

It's the Evil God Sect in the outer city.

Though the previous tsunamis, typhoons, and cold spells have greatly impacted the Evil God Sect, mainly affecting those believers they've bewitched. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

As for the cultists themselves, they've virtually all survived the disaster, currently finding ways to gather power, aiming to breach the inner city and claim everything Perfikot has painstakingly built there for themselves.

Faced with this situation, Perfikot naturally has scheduled the cleanup work for the outer city.

And as the main force for sweeping the Evil God Sect, the Godslaying Armor, which had been dormant for two months, is finally reactivated, fully inspected and maintained, ready for battle preparations.
