Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 854

According to Perfectoct's plan, the production plants and facilities on the three floating city modules began large-scale relocation and adjustment.

The entire floating city was plunged into an unprecedented state of busyness. Alchemists shuttled between various buildings, constantly adjusting the force field parameters of the floating core; engineers directed dozens of giant construction machines, carefully dismantling the modular factory facilities.

Although with the help of alchemy and large robots, relocating the factory is not a problem, the sudden increase in workload still makes the alchemists and engineers in the floating city complain.

They had to work in shifts day and night, and even had to eat their meals hastily on the construction site.

"This is driving me crazy!" complained an engineer with a greasy face. "Just recalibrating the force field parameters of these floating cores will keep us busy for a whole week."

You have to know that this is not just a little girl playing house, but a city-level building relocation.

Although the floating city is not as huge as a real city, one module at least occupies the same area as a town.

Although all buildings and equipment have been modularized, and with the help of the anti-gravity field of the floating stone, it is indeed relatively easy to move the buildings, but it is still a big project.

Each building requires hours of preparation before it can be moved: first, the internal equipment must be stabilized, then all external connections must be cut off, and finally the anti-gravity device can be activated to lift it up and move it.

The three modules combined are no smaller than a small city. Relocating and adjusting urban buildings over such a large area would be a nightmare for anyone.

Even in the original world before Perfectocte traveled through time, this was at least a major project that could be considered a national-level project.

But anyway, for the engineers and alchemists on the floating city, they only complained privately about the heavy workload, and no one dared to go against Perfecto's wishes. Even during the most tiring late-night shifts, when workers gathered in the rest area to drink coffee, they only muttered a few words in a low voice, "This workload is simply killing me," and then continued to work. No one would really stand up and object - even such a thought rarely occurred.

Unlike the Frans, the Victorians were already accustomed to the authority of the Imperial Regent and were used to obeying her orders. From the lowest apprentice to the most senior alchemist, everyone understood a simple truth: Perfect's will was the will of the Empire, and the will of the Empire could not be questioned. This obedience was not born out of fear - although fear did exist - but out of an almost instinctive cognition: she was always right, and even if her orders seemed unreasonable, they would eventually prove to be necessary.

Disobeying the imperial regent? Those who dared to do so have proven with their own lives that this is a suicidal thing. Whether it was the old nobles who tried to obstruct her reforms in parliament, or the generals who later disobeyed her orders during military operations, or even those political enemies who thought they could shake her authority through conspiracy and intrigue - their endings have all become textbook negative cases without exception.

If you obey her, you may not live a comfortable life, but at least you can survive and live a decent life. However, if you disobey her, it will inevitably bring you a burden that your life cannot bear.

Perfect has already proved her foresight and correctness with countless examples.

Whether it was the initial push for the Northern Expansion Plan against all odds, or every precise decision in response to the doomsday winter, even those seemingly cold-blooded killings, all proved the correctness of Perfectcot's decisions.

Her foresight surpassed that of everyone else in the empire, and her decisions were absolutely correct, even if no one understood them at the time.

These have become the truth that has penetrated the soul of every Victorian in the past few years. It does not need to be emphasized again and again, because it is as natural as breathing.

So when Perfect made the decision to adjust and relocate the floating city, although the engineers and alchemists were dissatisfied, they only complained, and only occasionally in private.

In the corner of the lounge or in the duty room late at night, they may grumble in low voices, but once they return to their work stations, everyone will immediately resume their professional and efficient working state.

This restraint is not entirely out of fear, but more of a trust that has been tested over time.

Thanks to the efforts of engineers and alchemists, the buildings and equipment on the three floating city modules completed a round of relocation.

Hundreds of modular buildings move slowly under the support of the anti-gravity field, like chess pieces on a chessboard being rearranged by an invisible hand.

Because they were arranged so closely, several factories were even connected by Perfect, turning the originally separate factories into an integrated assembly line.

They are rearranged in a more reasonable and compact way, and related factories and functional buildings are concentrated together, which can enable more efficient production and save transportation time, thereby improving production efficiency.

The military production lines that were originally scattered in three modules are now integrated into one area; the alchemy workshop is directly connected to the raw material warehouse; the energy core is placed in the center of all energy-consuming facilities. This optimization not only shortens the distance of material transportation, but also makes the operation of the entire production system smoother.

In this way, not only the efficiency is greatly improved, but also the number of workers required for production and maintenance is reduced, which reduces a lot of population pressure on the floating city.

After all, Perfect doesn't have too many people on the floating city, so there is indeed a problem of insufficient manpower in some aspects.

Fortunately for Perfect, solving the problem of manpower shortage does not require increasing the population. As long as there is sufficient labor force, it is enough to solve all problems.

In other words, her alchemy maids and autonomous robots are enough to replace the most basic labor workers and save a lot of labor.

With the factories and assembly lines equipped with maid dolls and autonomous robots, the production efficiency is even tending to be higher than that of humans.

This also makes the floating city the city with the highest rate of automation in the current human world. It also means that there are really not many people in the entire floating city, because Perfect does not need a large population to maintain the operation of the city.

But no matter what, after the completion of the third floating city module, there was a shortage of manpower, both for basic workers and technical engineers, which forced Perfect to carefully consider the various problems he would face in subsequent construction.
