Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 819 - 48

The floating battleship's maiden voyage celebration was very successful. The people of Beloburg felt proud of the Empire for having such a magnificent warship, marveling at the strength of the Empire's industrial prowess.

It was as if they had returned to Langton a few years ago, with the former glory of the Empire reappearing, filling the hearts of the Empire's citizens with pride.

The Empire shone like a sun, though it would set at times, it would ultimately rise again like the sun, illuminating the entire world.

Perfikot naturally scoffed at this notion, but she would not oppose the people for thinking this way.

After all, it helped to enhance the people's sense of happiness and cohesion, sparing her a lot of trouble.

However, even though the maiden voyage ceremony of the floating battleship had ended, Perfikot found the ship quite unsatisfactory no matter how she looked at it.

So, after the ceremony concluded, Perfikot boarded the ship to conduct an inspection.

"Although you've used your powers to improve the construction efficiency of the floating battleship, it hasn't come without consequences." Walking through the corridors of the floating battleship, Perfikot tapped here and there with her staff, occasionally employing alchemy to correct and adjust the issues identified.

"But I saw that their construction was based on the blueprints, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Aili watched as Perfikot frequently used alchemy, puzzled over what went wrong.

For this question, Perfikot just turned her head and looked at Aili with the eyes of someone looking at a fool, seeing that she truly didn't understand, and with question marks popping up over her head, couldn't bear it and explained: "The actual construction can lead to discrepancies from the blueprints due to various factors, such as thermal expansion and contraction affecting the metal due to temperature differences, as well as the inherent stress within the metal...

Therefore, blueprints generally specify the tolerances allowed, that is, the permissible errors for each component. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

But even with precise calculations and meticulous design, when the errors accumulate, they become noticeable defects.

At such times, workers on-site need to make adjustments based on the actual situation."

Discrepancies between the calculations on the blueprints and the actual construction are very common, and experienced workers naturally make adjustments without extra reminders.

However, influenced by Aili, the workers' enthusiasm was too high, and they worked too hastily, leading to overlooked details.

This isn't a particularly big issue; for the warship itself, it might have certain impacts, but these generally don't affect the warship's operation, only presenting potential hazards.

Within the warship's service cycle, a major overhaul typically resolves these issues.

Of course, as minor issues accumulate, they can indeed lead to major problems.

Isn't it evident in the original world where a once-powerful naval nation ultimately couldn't even build ships properly anymore?

Seeing that Aili seemed to somewhat understand, Perfikot continued: "The design of warships is an extremely complex task, especially since this is something new, never seen before.

Even for experienced workers, facing something they've never encountered, relying solely on existing experience is entirely insufficient."

As Perfikot spoke, she and Aili arrived at a cabin. Pointing to a cabinet embedded in the wall, she told Aili: "For example, this cabinet, embedding it in the wall is to free up precious space for the warship.

Since space on the warship is always limited, every effort must be made to save space. So by placing the cabinet within the wall, it frees up space in the corridor and also prevents people from running into the cabinet during emergencies in the corridor.

But doing so caused an issue, as the cabinet embedded in the wall affected the layout of the pipelines.

To address this, additional bends were made in the pipes within the wall, resulting in unnecessary impacts."

Perfikot spoke while employing alchemy to adjust the cabinet's position, making it more rational while also streamlining the pipes inside the wall.

This wasn't absolutely necessary, but for Perfikot, it was an error she couldn't quite tolerate.

Aili noticed these as well, realizing that her good intentions had seemingly backfired.

Seeing the change in Aili's expression, Perfikot continued: "The first floating battleship, in my plan, was originally meant for them to accumulate experience and summarize various lessons.

Its pursuit wasn't the duration of construction but identifying and resolving issues and accumulating building experience to train the team.

Your rapid completion was fine but didn't align with my objectives."

Upon hearing this, Aili wore an apologetic expression.

"I was just trying to help~!" Aili explained bashfully, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

For Aili, whose good intentions led to unintended consequences, Perfikot could only sigh helplessly, saying, "Were it not for you not coming to sabotage, I would have made you into a figurehead to hang at the bow of the ship!"

"Ehehe~!" Aili scratched her head, putting on a cute expression, trying to muddle through.

Perfikot, unwilling to dwell on it, just shook her head helplessly, then turned to continue forward.

Aili quickly followed. After knowing that Perfikot was now the leader of humanity, she had been trying to persuade her to change tactics to enhance responses to the gods.

However, Perfikot didn't seem very committed to this, addressing Aili's concerns with a rather indifferent attitude.

She seemed aware of the issue and displayed some concern, but that was all.

This worried Aili, but because she had previously done well-intended harm, she could only patiently follow behind Perfikot, repeatedly emphasizing the severity of the issue whenever possible.

"I have my own plans and strategies regarding the gods. If you can provide the latest intelligence on the gods, I might adjust my plans based on your information." Perfikot, seeing Aili's anxiousness, posed a crucial question: "So, do you know the latest movements of the gods?"

"Of course! That's exactly why I came to the Northern Territory!" Aili finally sighed in relief, thoughtfully considering how to explain to Perfikot: "But where to begin? The affairs of the gods are quite complex..."

"Let's start with the main composition of the gods. How many major deities are there among them now?" Perfikot asked, revealing what she was most concerned about.
