Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 798 - 27: I Want to Build a Floating City

Perfikot has a grand plan, perhaps one of the most discussed topics among the Northern People today.

After all, while undertaking post-disaster reconstruction, Perfikot has been adjusting the entire industrial structure and capacity of the Northern Territory, preparing for some goal.

Furthermore, after all the snow-blocked railway traffic in the north was cleared and the relocation and settlement of remote communities were mostly completed, her actions visibly increased.

The cabinet was amazed by this, especially since Perfikot had only recently presided over the formulation of the national economic development plan and the construction of the airship project.

Now, under Perfikot's control and adjustment, this project is gradually moving in the right direction; the supporting industries for the first phase are almost ready, and the keel for an airship is even being laid.

However, Perfikot's grand actions now clearly affect the airship plan, leaving the cabinet somewhat puzzled.

It is hard to say whether her actions are beneficial or detrimental, as even the cabinet officials find it challenging to fully comprehend Perfikot's plan and her objectives. Her strategic decisions are often so elevated that even the cabinet can only react and understand what she is doing after the policies are implemented.

Thus, the cabinet can only do what it can to comply with her requests to cooperate but also seek ways to discover Intfaith's intentions.

-----------------

"So you've come to me just to ask what I'm doing?" In the lab, Perfikot continued working, wearing a white lab coat, without looking back, asking Kallen who stood at the lab door.

As the now Deputy Prime Minister of the cabinet, Kallen has undergone a remarkable transformation since she first met Perfikot.

This Miss Phantom Thief now has the aura of a mature politician, and seeing her current demeanor, no one can associate her with the thief who tried to steal from Perfikot back then, pursued to the ends of the earth.

Yet Kallen always understood that her achievements today could not have been possible without Perfikot's guidance and help.

Be it becoming the leader of the worker's movement, leading the independence movement of the dominion, or rising to become the Deputy Prime Minister and entering the political scene, all these were achieved with Perfikot's assistance.

One might even say that without Perfikot's guidance, she wouldn't have accomplished these things.

Or that with Perfikot's guidance, anyone else might have reached and even surpassed her current achievements.

Thus, Kallen always wanted to repay Perfikot, which motivated her desire to know Perfikot's plans for better cooperation.

"Miss Perfikot, the cabinet and I want to know your objectives so that we can better cooperate with your plan, right?" Kallen earnestly spoke to Perfikot while curiously observing what Perfikot was busy with.

After all, she used to be a phantom thief, and Kallen thinks she's quite perceptive in observation.

The lab was filled with numerous metal parts she couldn't understand, and on Perfikot's workbench was a mechanical component seemingly being assembled, with the core appearing to be Flying Stone.

Recalling the Flying Stone that landed her in Perfikot's hands and triggered everything now, Kallen's gaze revealed some nostalgia but more curiosity about what Perfikot was assembling and why she was using Flying Stone.

Is it a part of the airship? But wasn't the airship already designed and developed?

Thoughts spun in Kallen's mind, yet she didn't voice her questions, merely watching Perfikot's busy work.

Perfikot seemed to have completed assembling the parts in her hand and placed it in the center of the lab, then activated the Flying Stone.

The various parts placed in the lab appeared to be influenced and attracted, all floating up from the ground, drifting towards the central parts, and under Perfikot's control, connecting and assembling together.

"You asked what I'm doing, right? This is what I'm making." Perfikot looked at Kallen, and between them was the continuously assembling mechanical parts.

Kallen watched in amazement, though still not understanding fully what it was, but the complex mechanical parts and their assembled enormous size and intricate structure conveyed one thing to her.

This is a magnificent piece of work, a work that exceeded her comprehension.

Until the last part was assembled, a model resembling a city of multiple circular rings and different segments appeared before Kallen.

"Is this... a city?" Though she didn't understand what those parts were, Kallen knew enough to recognize a complete city's look when they assembled.

"Yes, a city, a Floating City, a city flying in the sky." Perfikot wasn't deliberately hiding her intentions from everyone; she simply felt that explaining them before the creation would be seen as fantasy.

In truth, even now, Perfikot wouldn't expect Kallen to understand what a Floating City was or why it needed to be built.

True to form, Kallen quickly asked the question: "Why are you building it? Making a city float in the sky... This is far beyond my understanding."

"I never hoped for you or anyone else to understand, as what I'm doing is far from your comprehension." Perfikot gazed at her creation, feeling introspective.

Three years ago, she might not have created such a work, never conceived the idea of a city raised to the sky.

Back then, she didn't possess the thought of looking down upon the earth from a throne in the sky.

But as she walked step by step to her current position, having personally witnessed the descent of the Divine and faced the mighty War God's glory, Perfikot knew clearly that humanity must have a weapon to defeat the Divine.

This Floating City is the weapon she plans to use as a Godslayer.

The timing of its presentation and its form as a Floating City stems more from the previous blizzards disturbing Perfikot's nerves, prompting her belief in a weapon capable of both Godslaying and displaying Divine-level powers.

At least the next time the Northern Territory faces a blizzard, she can use this Floating City to dispel it without exhausting herself in efforts.
