Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 848 - 77: Floating City’s Final Preparations

The wind and snow howled, and the hull of the Floating City emitted a deep humming sound in the cold wind, as if a slumbering giant beast was breathing.

Cold snowflakes slapped against the porthole, quickly condensing into a thin layer of frost.

Perfikot stood in front of the porthole on the lower deck of the Floating City, overlooking the snow-covered earth below through a telescope.

Her gaze was stern and focused, as if she wanted to imprint every detail of the ice field into her mind.

Behind her, a navy officer wearing a colonel rank respectfully reported, "Lord, the Floating City has reached its designated position and is about to deploy the mining units."

Perfikot did not turn around, she simply nodded lightly, "Deploy them, let me see how efficient the mining units are."

Her voice was exceptionally clear in the cold air, carrying an undeniable authority.

The navy colonel immediately turned and issued the command through the communicator.

Moments later, the hatch at the bottom of the Floating City slowly opened, and a cargo barge equipped with a small floating core slid out from within the cabin, slowly descending towards the ground.

Perfikot's gaze followed the barge, yet her mind was pondering over more matters.

The construction of the Floating City was nearing completion, but her work was far from over.

Every detail of this city needed her personal scrutiny, especially the design of the mining units, which despite being in use, still appeared crude and inefficient to her.

She murmured to herself, "The efficiency of the mining units is too low."

The mining robots onboard the cargo barge had already started working, but their coordination with the barge seemed clumsy and sluggish.

Though the mining speed was acceptable, it still fell far short of Perfikot's expectations.

Especially in such extremely cold environments, the running speed of the equipment was visibly affected.

She turned to the deputy, "Notify the Alchemists to submit new design proposals as soon as possible. We need more efficient mining units, capable of completing the collection and preliminary processing of ore in the shortest possible time."

The deputy immediately recorded her command and then added, "Moreover, news has come from the city hall that the new energy module has passed preliminary testing and is expected to be operational by next week."

Perfikot nodded, her gaze once again directed towards the window.

The energy module is the heart of the Floating City, and its stable operation is directly linked to the fate of the entire city.

Although the current energy system was sufficient to support the daily operations of the Floating City, as the city expands and the population increases, energy demands continue to rise.

She supplemented, "Very well, have them speed up progress to ensure the energy module is operational on time. Also, notify the head of the defense system that I need them to submit a detailed defense upgrade plan, Floating City's safety must not be compromised."

The deputy nodded in agreement, then exited the control room.

Days later, the Alchemy Faction submitted a new design proposal for the mining units.

Perfikot sat in the control room, carefully perusing the documents in her hand.

In the new design proposal, the coordination between the mining robots and the cargo barge was closer, and preliminary processing of the ore was completed on the ground, greatly improving efficiency.

She softly said, "This design is good."

But her eyes still held a trace of scrutiny, "But further optimization is needed, especially in the stability under extreme environments, we must ensure that equipment can operate normally in harsh conditions."

The representative of the Alchemy Faction stood before her, nervous and respectful, "Lord, we have taken that into account. The new mining units use low-temperature resistant materials and have added protective designs at critical points to ensure stable operation under extremely harsh conditions."

Perfikot nodded, closing the document, "Very well, start production as soon as possible, the future of the Floating City relies on these details to support it."

Meanwhile, the defense system's head also submitted a detailed defense upgrade plan.

Perfikot held several meetings with the head to discuss how to further improve the defensive capabilities of the Floating City.

The head handed a thick document to Perfikot, "Lord, this is the latest defense upgrade plan. We plan to add more watchtowers and fire points around the Floating City, while strengthening the armor protection at its base."

Perfikot carefully flipped through the document, her brow furrowing slightly, "The distribution of fire points needs adjustment, especially the defense at the base. The main threats to the Floating City come from the ground, we must ensure sufficient fire coverage at the bottom.

Also, you might consider designing a small fire platform, similar to a simple fortress or blockhouse design, letting them fly around the Floating City to provide fire and defense."

The head respectfully responded, "Yes, Lord, we will proceed with adjustments immediately."

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

The testing of the newly designed energy module was also being conducted intensively, and Perfikot personally participated in all the design and improvements, ensuring that every detail met her standards while also paving the way for the energy module's enhancement.

Although she did not utilize the powers of the Eye of Omniscience and Jade Record, her knowledge and abilities were still crucial in this process.

And now, it was the final testing of the energy module, Perfikot needed to ensure it was flawless.

The test results were satisfactory, the energy module's operation was normal. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The head of the energy module confidently said, "Lord, the improved energy module can maintain stable operation under extreme conditions.

However, to ensure absolute safety, we plan to conduct another field test."

Perfikot closed the test data in her hand, her gaze firm, "Very well, arrange it soon. Every aspect of the Floating City must not slack, we must ensure it can operate stably under any circumstances."

With each task advancing, the outfitting of the Floating City was also gradually approaching completion.

Perfikot stood at the city's highest point, overlooking this sky city that was about to be finished, her heart filled with pride and anticipation.

Night descended once more, the lights of the Floating City twinkling in the darkness, like a star about to rise.

Perfikot knew that the city's future was full of unknowns, but she was prepared to face all challenges.

The attendant gently reminded, "Lord, you should rest."

Perfikot's gaze remained on the horizon, "Wait a bit, I still have some matters to handle."

She turned back to her room, where on her desk, a stack of piled-up documents awaited her instructions.

As the Lord of the North, even on the Floating City, a large number of documents would be promptly delivered to her, awaiting her handling.
