Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 846 - 75: The Details in Construction

Although the type of Floating City module has been changed and the entire construction plan needs major revisions, overall, there aren't many things that actually need to be altered.

The Floating City modules that have already been built don't require major changes; just some adjustments to the details can accommodate the updated drawings by Perfikot.

As for the parts under construction, Perfikot also made targeted adjustments, so there aren't many areas that need to be redone.

The real significant change is in the design drawings themselves.

This part Perfikot has already sorted out on her own, so overall, it's not a big problem.

This situation reminds Perfikot of when she hadn't yet traveled here; she once received such an outrageous order where the client wanted to change the drawings after the construction was already a third underway, a complete revision with a change in the overall usage.

Back then, she and her colleagues worked overtime for a whole week to get everything done; that period was almost like hell.

However, that overtime hellish period for Perfikot now is instead a memory with a hint of warmth.

After all, she was young and spirited at the time, worked like a naive kid, surrounded by peers who were much the same, striving and working hard together, which is somewhat worth reminiscing.

At that time, Perfikot was working for someone else, while now she is working for herself, and the difference in status makes her feel different.

At least in the past, Perfikot wouldn't have stayed on-site at the construction site every day just to keep track of construction progress, even eating and living there.

Why work so hard when working overtime for others?

But when working for herself, Perfikot doesn't even have the concept of overtime.

Now, she almost works every waking moment and rests when her eyes close, without a single moment of leisure.

It's not that there are truly so many things to do, but Perfikot insists on personally overseeing and reviewing everything, not trusting any matter to chance.

After all, the Floating City is something never seen before, and it's the first time building it. Not to mention the engineers and alchemists working on it, even Perfikot herself has many uncertainties that need to be addressed by actually seeing the completed result to comprehend.

The design on the paper is one thing, but actual construction is another.

Since she first saw the workers welding two pipes together at a right angle on-site, instead of fitting an elbow as designed in the drawings, she realized clearly that some things must be supervised personally.

In fact, during the construction of the Floating City, these kinds of mistakes that can be considered accidents are not uncommon.

Although Perfikot has extensively used Alchemy Puppets and robots in the construction, these entities aren't very intelligent, so they can only work according to quite rigid procedures during construction.

In such a process, errors inevitably occur due to various reasons.

During these times, professional alchemists or engineers are needed to adjust and correct the mistakes.

Of course, these minor issues don't need Perfikot's personal attention; those alchemists and engineers will handle them.

But when these small errors accumulate, they eventually evolve into some significant mistakes, and this part is where Perfikot must handle personally.

After all, she is the designer of the entire Floating City, having handled all the design drawings single-handedly. Naturally, only she can clarify what the Floating City is about and how to address any issues encountered.

Moreover, since it's an entire city, a flying city, many problems faced by the engineers and alchemists during construction cannot be arbitrarily decided upon and must be reported and requested from Perfikot, filling her schedule with various matters.

However, to Perfikot, dealing with these matters is merely tedious and troublesome, not difficult, so comparatively, she is just busy without facing anything truly challenging.

Overall, apart from the need to kill time, other matters proceed smoothly.

The basic renovations for the entire Floating City module are completed first, since they were already built and just needed some detail adjustments.

Then, the dock parts were completed; though divided into cargo docks and military ports, the whole was planned as a military port, just expanded based on existing foundations.

During the initial module construction, reservations and preliminary work for this section were done, making subsequent construction relatively straightforward and fast to complete.

But the remaining parts weren't so simple, like the factory originally intended as barracks but now converted into a casting factory; the plant is easy to deal with, but new furnaces and casting equipment require custom designs.

Waiting for the equipment delayed the plant's topping for a whole week.

As for the shipyard docks, the situation is similar; various equipment needs to be customized according to the specific conditions of the Floating City, with technical requirements needing Perfikot's approval to finalize.

For alchemists of Perfikot's level, these matters are so easily handled that they can manage them with their eyes closed.

If it were under normal circumstances, the alchemists and engineers under Perfikot could handle these issues as well.

But this time, with matters involving the Floating City, none of them have dealt with something as extraordinary as a Floating City, let alone considered what various equipment should be like in this unique environment.

Though they can deduce solutions from their experience, many things aren't feasible just because they can be done. To prevent unnecessary issues and troubles, they still need to consult with Perfikot as much as possible.

Of course, when consulting, they usually attach their solutions, hoping to stand out in front of Perfikot.

After all, if Perfikot favors their solutions, there will be some rewards.

The rewards Perfikot gives rarely include material goods; more often, they involve alchemy knowledge or related ranks in the Northern Territory.

As for wealth, members of the Alchemy Faction and families of alchemists don't care; they are not lacking these things.

But Perfikot's rewards of alchemy knowledge are extremely valuable.

Though, for Perfikot, it's just some ordinary small knowledge, for these alchemists, these small pieces of knowledge are enough to prosper a family.

Their performance naturally saved Perfikot a lot of time, and most of the solutions indeed can resolve issues, so she is naturally pleased to save herself the trouble. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

With that, the Floating City module increasingly resembles what a city should be like.
