Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 875 - 104: Aftermath of the Battle

The Floating City did not move but remained steadily suspended above the strait.

The massive steel fortress hovered below the clouds, like an immovable bastion, standing majestically.

On the ice below, countless flying dragon corpses were scattered, quickly frozen by the frigid sea wind, taking on the appearance of ice sculptures.

The recovery team dispatched by Perfikot had landed on the ground and begun methodically collecting these ice-sculpture-like flying dragon corpses back to the Floating City.

Each flying dragon corpse was a valuable resource; their scales, bones, and flesh could be transformed through alchemy into new weapons or armor materials, adding more leverage to the upcoming battle.

Although the flying dragon assault caused damage to the outer armor and some structures of the Floating City, the overall situation was not severe.

Perfikot stood in the control room of the Floating City, observing the recovery work below through the screen.

Her gaze was calm and focused, as if the damages before her were trivial matters, even carrying a hint of satisfaction.

After all, this attack not only failed to deliver a fatal blow to the Floating City but also provided her with valuable combat data and testing opportunities.

"The damage control team is in position and is starting repairs on the damaged parts of the Floating City," an officer reported to her, his tone carrying a hint of nervousness.

Perfikot nodded, her eyes still on the screen: "Have them prioritize repairs to the critical area's armor, energy transmission lines, and steam pipelines. Damage to other areas can be dealt with later."

"Yes, Count." The officer quickly relayed the orders, and the damage control team within the Floating City began their work on repairing the damaged areas.

The roar of the steam boilers echoed inside the Floating City, accompanied by sparks from metal welding, as the entire repair work progressed methodically.

Perfikot's design for the Floating City's air defense system was crafted using standards from late World War II, a completely advanced existence for this era.

Not to mention the existing Flying Airships or Floating Warships of mankind, even the gods would find it hard to breach such a level of anti-air firepower.

The swarm of flying dragons, despite their large numbers, still seemed insignificant in the face of the Floating City's air defense array.

If not for testing purposes, she could have entirely dispatched all the Godslaying Armor from the Floating City, and the flying dragon swarm would not have been able to approach.

The choice to let the air defense system bear the brunt was also to test the limits of the Floating City.

Her gaze once again shifted to the screen, where the damage control team of the Floating City was busily repairing the external armor.

She didn't care about these damages; rather, she saw it as a rare testing opportunity. The Floating City's damage control system, meticulously designed by her, can repair damaged areas in the shortest time, ensuring the City's continuous combat capability.

At this moment, the Floating City's Commander, Navy Major General Carter, walked into the control room.

He was an old-school naval officer; even just after a battle, his uniform remained crisp, the stars on his epaulettes polished, and even his steps showed no signs of chaos.

He approached Perfikot, slightly bowed, and reported in a calm tone: "Count, the battle results have been tallied. The Floating City has shot down a total of eight hundred seventy-three flying dragons."

"Including the two hundred or so taken down by Beifa, the total exceeds one thousand." Perfikot murmured softly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes, "It seems the Floating City's air defense system performed very well."

Bringing down over eight hundred flying dragons was indeed an impressive performance, akin to facing a massive fleet of enemy aircraft in World War II with over a thousand planes and shooting down over eight hundred, an exceptional achievement.

"The air defense system's performance exceeded my expectations." Perfikot's gaze remained cold, her tone carrying a slight inquiry, "Although the flying dragon swarm breached some of our defenses due to their numerical advantage, the overall defense of the Floating City was not compromised.

I am quite satisfied with its performance. What's your opinion, General?"

She inquired of Major General Carter, confident in her creation but still open to the professional opinions of a seasoned officer.

After all, as a seasoned Navy officer, Major General Carter had keen insight into details and potential issues in combat.

Major General Carter pondered for a moment before responding: "The air defense system indeed exceeded expectations, but concerning ammunition consumption…"

He paused, a hint of concern in his tone: "This battle consumed a large amount of ammunition. If the enemy continues with similar assaults, our supplies might face pressure."

As a Navy officer, Major General Carter was more concerned with the issues of consumption and supply.

For the Navy, if ammunition supplies run out at sea, the consequences could be fatal.

His concern was not unfounded, especially when facing formidable enemies like the gods, where the sustainability of supplies is crucial.

"A valid concern, General." Perfikot acknowledged with a nod, then explained, "But there's no need to worry about this issue. The Floating City module possesses excellent logistics and supply capabilities. As long as sufficient resources are available, it can continuously produce ammunition supplies.

If our enemies think they can deplete our ammunition supplies with this level of attack, I'd say they haven't sent enough."

Her tone carried a faint hint of sarcasm, clearly dismissing the enemy's tactics.

The design of the Floating City not only considered combat capability but also ensured the sustainability of logistics and supplies. As long as resources are sufficient, the City can sustain combat operations, even growing stronger with each battle.

"All thanks to your great design, Count." Major General Carter flattered, his tone carrying genuine admiration. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

As a Navy officer, he, like most naval leaders, held deep admiration for Perfikot's designs and strategic vision.

Indeed, the Victor Empire, whether Army or Navy, revered Perfikot as a brilliant genius who could easily change the course of war.

Perfikot paid no mind to this; over the years, she had grown accustomed to such praises.

She merely said to Major General Carter: "Prepare for further optimization of the air defense system. This battle exposed some issues that we need to address before the next one."

"Yes, Count." Major General Carter gave a slight bow, then turned and left, beginning arrangements for optimizing the air defense system.

The Floating City remained suspended over the strait, and the recovery team on the ice below had completed their operation and was gradually returning.
