Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 572 Emergency Repair

Perfect was wearing work clothes at the time, and he and several engineers were inside a boiler that had exploded due to water ingress to check the condition of the boiler.

"This pipeline has burst. Remove it and replace it with a new one, and put the old one back into the furnace." She pointed to a pipeline that was obviously deformed and instructed the engineer beside her. At the same time, she did not mind the dirty environment of water accumulation in the boiler, and knelt on one knee on the ground to check the damage of the boiler.

The location they were in at the moment was between the furnace and the outer shell of the boiler, which was filled with various pipelines and valves and was an important area for heat exchange in the entire energy tower.

When the boiler exploded due to water inflow, this was the first place to be impacted by seawater, so the damage to the pipeline was much more serious than expected.

If it were in the original world, a boiler explosion of this magnitude would basically be beyond repair, and it would be more cost-effective to dismantle it and replace it with a new one than to repair it.

But for Perfecto now, firstly, there is no time to replace it with a new one, and secondly, with the alchemist here, the damage caused only by the explosion is quite easy to repair.

Of course, the level of that group of alchemists could not reach her level, but it was still very easy for these alchemists to repair the broken pipes and restore the deformed parts caused by the explosion to their original state.

Of course, because there were so many things going on, some of the elite alchemists were transferred to the North, which meant that the alchemists in the city of Langton were either not good enough or too old, and most of them were at a level that Perfecto looked down upon.

Coupled with the serious shortage of manpower, they have been driven around like tops in the past few days, and many of them have suffered from serious mental exhaustion.

But Perfect would never let them rest like this. For those alchemists who were mentally overdrawn, he gave them a shot of mental recovery potion and told them to get up and continue working!

Apart from the necessary sleep time, Perfect did not give these alchemists any time to rest.

Right now, every second counts and she is working tirelessly on the front line. How can others have time to rest?
In order to save time, she even ordered a group of people to be transferred from the North, so that all the energy towers could be repaired before the typhoon landed and all the shelters could be restored to a usable state.

Therefore, not only the alchemists from the Alchemist Association, but also all other folk alchemists who could be recruited to do the work were organized by Perfect.

Even Sandrion was lamenting that in the history of the Alchemist Association since its establishment, no one had ever driven alchemists on such a large scale, and the alchemists had never demonstrated such high efficiency.

In response to this evaluation, Perfect simply sneered and commented: "That only shows that you are living too well! You can change the world just by stretching out your hands, but you all think you are superior to others and disdain to help ordinary people.

However, you have high expectations but lack the skills to achieve them, and are unwilling to do things that you consider menial. But the vast majority of ordinary alchemists are unable to do higher-level tasks, let alone conduct academic research to promote the development of alchemy.

In the end, the so-called traditional alchemists are nothing more than a group of craftsmen who are conservative, self-satisfied, and unwilling to make progress, who have skills but do not do practical work and can only talk big.

They are not even more enterprising than those engineers. At least engineers have made outstanding contributions to industrial development after the Industrial Revolution. Whether they are improving existing machines or inventing new machines, they are enterprising.

Compared to them, these alchemists can only be used to do these mindless jobs."

Perfect's comments were really harsh, but Sandrillon could not find any room for rebuttal, because it was indeed the case. She herself was the one who felt it the most.

After all, he was able to grow into a legendary alchemist in the old times and even became the president of the Alchemist Association. The former Sandrion was undoubtedly a leader among traditional alchemists.

She had a thorough understanding of traditional alchemists and knew exactly what kind of people these guys were.

Maybe this situation was not a big deal in the old times, but after entering the industrial age?
I'm sorry, the whole society is developing at a high speed, and you guys are still sticking to your old ways like in the past. You are simply waiting to be eliminated by the times!

Sandrillon actually lived for a hundred years and witnessed how the entire world moved from the feudal age to the industrial age. She was the one who felt the deepest about the changes and progress of the world.

It was also because of this that she expressed her absolute support for Perfecto's ordering these alchemists around.

She knew very well that these alchemists who studied traditional alchemy had already exhausted all their talents just by learning and applying the knowledge of traditional alchemy. Expecting them to be able to innovate and invent something was like drawing cards from a prize pool with no guarantee and no UP. The success or failure depended entirely on luck.

Expecting them to make progress is like a dream.

On the contrary, after Perfecto proposed the theory of utopian alchemy, the new generation of alchemists who quickly accepted the new knowledge burst out with their talents, and various innovations emerged one after another.

Therefore, these traditional alchemists, who seem to have been swept into the dustbin of history, can now only tighten screws and remove dust.

In fact, it is precisely for this reason that most of those who were able to pass the screening and go to the North were young new-school alchemists who were able to accept the new knowledge system and achieve certain results.

A large number of traditional alchemists who could not accept the change were left in Langton and the empire, like the remnants of the old era who were unable to board the ship to the new era.

However, it was precisely because of the large number of traditional alchemists who tightened the screws and putty that Perfectcot was able to build a large number of energy towers within a month, and at the same time organize people to repair the damaged energy towers after the tsunami.

With such emergency repairs, a large number of energy towers that were damaged by seawater were repaired and resumed operation, providing a warm environmental shelter for the people.

Although this was achieved at the cost of draining all the alchemists in the city of Langton more than once, when the water level in the outer city gradually dropped and the streets were exposed again, the energy towers in the inner city had basically resumed operation.

The flooded shelters were also drained with the help of a large number of pumps.

All that remains is cleaning and renovation, which can be done at a slower pace.

For people living in the inner city, they already have the most basic living security, at least they don’t have to worry about having nowhere to hide when the storm comes.
