Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 830 - 59

Although the traditional alchemy factions and families have many complaints about Perfikot, they still very pragmatically chose to cooperate with Sanderion.

After all, as much as they disliked Perfikot, they had to admit that she was one of the most gifted and powerful alchemists in the world today.

Perhaps it's not even necessary to add 'one of'.

Moreover, with Perfikot's supreme power only second to the ruler in the Victor Empire, no alchemy faction or family would be willing to directly clash with her.

Grumbling in private is fine, but to actually confront such a powerful figure, are you out of your mind?

Not to mention, what Perfikot is building now is a revolutionary Floating City!

It is the pinnacle of alchemy miracles, and a grand celebration for alchemists! Anyone who doesn't participate will miss the chance to get a piece of this feast!

Of course, most importantly, when everyone gathers to chat in the future, one may say they participated in constructing some part of the Floating City while another might claim involvement in a certain aspect…

Looking back, to declare you haven't been part of the Floating City project would be immensely embarrassing.

Therefore, when Sanderion announced Perfikot was going to build the Floating City, all the alchemist families and factions were desperate to get a piece of the action in this grand plan.

Even if it's just a minor task, they can still claim they contributed to the project, right?

And those alchemists without factions or families are also trying every method to be part of the Floating City construction.

They even declared that families and factions should not monopolize the Floating City project, demanding that civilian alchemists also be involved in its construction.

Sanderion was delighted to see this, and brought over a team from Langton's alchemy society to help recruit non-family and non-faction alchemists, while she herself returned to the Floating City site with the alchemists from the factions and families she had already negotiated with, handing them over to Perfikot.

Perfikot was straightforward too, allocating these individuals to various relevant projects, with Sanderion and her disciples in charge of checking and accepting the work to ensure quality.

Perfikot would have preferred to use trusted aides for supervision but unfortunately, she had none available.

Initially, upon arriving in the Northern Territory, she trained some assistants, but massive upheavals later left her overwhelmed with tasks, leaving no time to groom trusted personnel.

Also, given Perfikot's broad scope of research and high technical proficiency, most alchemists could hardly keep up with her pace, let alone serve as assistants. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Currently, the only person capable of competently serving as Perfikot's assistant was Sanderion, even her disciples merely provided support.

Perfikot couldn't always have Sanderion, a semi-alchemist, assisting her, nor could she tolerate inefficient individuals as assistants.

An assistant must work, and one that neither helps nor keeps up in experiments is absolutely intolerable to Perfikot.

Therefore, over the years, Perfikot's laboratory still had only her maid puppet, with no students, assistants, or trusted aides.

Of course, when it came to administrative tasks, Perfikot had quite a few loyalists under her command.

While these individuals had their own stances, their unwavering loyalty to Perfikot was undeniable; they could indeed be considered trusted aides.

However, these loyalists knew little about alchemy, so while they could manage and supervise construction, they couldn't handle technical inspection work.

Ultimately, regardless of what Perfikot and Sanderion thought, the responsibility fell onto Heine and her sisters, who formed a supervisory group to oversee and evaluate others' work.

Yet, during this process, Sanderion suggested to Perfikot breaking the whole Floating City project into several subprojects, assigning them to families and factions while dispatching civilian alchemists who had conflicts with those factions and families to supervise.

This ensured project quality and progress, since those with conflicts would find collusion difficult, greatly reducing potential chaos and disruptions.

Perfikot naturally welcomed such arrangements, disliking the disturbances; thus, she delegated complete authority to Sanderion, coordinating with Northern Territory officials to support her.

With this dual approach to supervision and control, the Floating City project began operating smoothly as outlined by Perfikot after initial adjustments, with construction progress being quite satisfactory.

Though Perfikot recruited numerous alchemists into the project, her resources and manpower still only sufficed for constructing one Floating City.

Perfikot had to adjust the construction plan, concentrating most resources on the module of the Floating City she was responsible for.

Meanwhile, the original urban renovation plans received minimal personnel for the modification of certain districts of Chernobyl.

There's no way around it, as the original plans required excessive resources and manpower, forcing Perfikot to adjust to ensure at least one Floating City module was constructed.

Information brought by Eilie indicated that sooner or later the gods would launch another attack on humanity, necessitating a decisive trump card.

Originally, the Floating Battleship was suitable for this role; these powerful steel warships were formidable against the gods. Though potentially taking heavy losses in real battles.

Now, the Floating City replaces the Floating Battleship's spotlight role, relegating the Floating Battleship to being a primary combat force.

After construction of the first Floating Battleship was completed, Perfikot spent some time refining and adjusting it, readying it for final outfitting, then delivered it to the Navy for crew training.

Moreover, both the second and third Floating Battleships have entered the construction phase, this time directly as battleships.

Unlike the first technical verification ship, Perfikot didn't fully follow the battleship design for construction in order to test technology.
