Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 583: Resumption of Work and Production
Thanks to Perfect's efforts, although the city of Langton experienced successive attacks from tsunamis, cold waves, and typhoons, it finally survived and was not destroyed by these.

The current population of the inner city is close to 900,000. Although it cannot be compared with the glorious peak period, it is still the population size that a large city should have.

And so far, residents in the inner city of Longton have basically achieved no worries about food and clothing, everyone has a warm place, and even when the temperature has dropped to -40℃, no one has frozen to death.

Thanks to Perfect's efforts, the medical system was rebuilt and put into effective operation, effectively controlling the spread of various diseases in the inner city caused by disasters such as tsunamis, cold waves and typhoons.

Even the schools in Langton have gradually resumed operations at Perfect's request. The primary schools in all shelters have resumed classes, and the enrollment rate for children under the age of fourteen has reached over 90%.

Even before the end of the world, this was still a difficult number to achieve for the city of Langton.

But now, with the joint efforts of all civil servants of the Longton City Government and the church, we have achieved something that would be difficult to achieve under normal circumstances.

This made Perfecto feel particularly surprised and satisfied, so she even rewarded the head of the education department with a large mansion, making him another person to move into a single-family house.

In addition to these, the number of factories in Langton that can resume operations is gradually increasing. Perfect also promptly raised the slogan of "resume work, resume production, and build a new home" and launched a resumption of work campaign to resume operations in as many factories as possible.

Of course, it is unrealistic for all factories to resume operations.

On the one hand, there is the problem of sales of industrial products, and on the other hand, there is the problem of raw materials.

Although Perfecto and Sandrion reformed the Guild of Alchemists that remained in Langton, enabling it to provide factories with various industrial raw materials through fantasy alchemy, this was not a long-term solution, nor was it an approach that maximized efficiency.

After mastering utopian alchemy, these alchemists were even able to directly produce the required industrial products instead of factories. Using them to produce industrial raw materials was a pure waste of production capacity.

And there is another very important point, that is, another important function of fantasy alchemy is to provide fuel for the entire Langton energy tower.

Under the successive attacks of tsunamis, typhoons and cold waves, even the railway transportation connecting with other cities in the empire has been interrupted, and scarce daily necessities such as coal cannot be transported in at all.

Therefore, for the alchemists, ensuring the normal operation of the energy tower is their most important task now.

However, at this moment, in order to allow some factories to resume operations, Perfect had to temporarily choose this method to get the factories up and running first.

As for the issue of production raw materials, she began to review and investigate all the factories, and transformed some of them into factories that could produce industrial raw materials using nearby materials.

Although this cannot immediately solve the problem of industrial raw materials, it can at least provide a stable source of industrial raw materials needed by some factories.

Other factories will be adapted and modified according to their original type and current needs.

For example, factories that originally specialized in producing bulk textiles imported raw materials such as cotton yarn from the colonies, then processed them into cloth and then shipped them to the colonies for sale.

The largest of these factories used to supply the New World colonies. The annual production capacity of this factory alone was enough to meet the cloth demand of the entire New World colonies.

However, for the current Langton, it is obviously not necessary to have such a large production capacity, and there is no such a large source of raw materials.

Therefore, Perfect made adjustments to it, transforming part of the factory into a chemical fiber production workshop, and then using chemical fibers to make cloth to provide clothing for hundreds of thousands of people in Langton City. By the way, after the trade route between Langton and the North was restored, it could also provide goods for Langton and the New World.

As for the raw materials for chemical fibers, they still mainly rely on fantasy alchemy, but Perfect has ordered people to look for oil around Langton.

According to several geologists found by Perfect, there are underwater oil fields in the waters around Langton.

As long as the location can be determined, drilling work can be started.

In this regard, Perfect also provided sufficient support and dispatched three airships to specifically search for oil fields.

However, so far, the exploration work has been progressing slowly because the sea surface has been completely frozen.

Perfect knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he did not urge them, but ordered people to find a way to form more exploration teams and cast a wide net to search for possible oil fields.

Fortunately, so far, the existence of fantasy alchemy is perfect, just like playing a game with unlimited resources, it can meet any demand for raw materials.

Apart from the fact that its overall production capacity is limited and it requires the alchemist's own mental energy to be consumed, this technology is simply perfect.

This also enabled the situation in the inner city of Longton to recover quickly, even faster than Perfectcott had expected.

The city of Langton has now basically restored its proper order, and the areas covered by the energy tower are also gradually recovering.

Everyone is working and living hard. No one is wasting this hard-earned precious opportunity. Everyone is trying their best to live and survive.

Perfect was very satisfied with all of this. She even felt that she had done her best and that she had restored Langton's condition to this level in just two months.

Because Langton's condition gradually stabilized, Perfectcott also put the matter of returning to the North on the agenda.

But before she set out to return to the North, there was one important issue that remained unresolved.

That is the evil cult in the outer city area.

Although the previous tsunamis, typhoons and cold waves also dealt a heavy blow to the evil cult, the main impact was on the believers who were bewitched by them.

As for the cultists themselves, they have basically survived the disaster safely and are currently trying to gather their strength and then break into the inner city area to take over everything that Perfectcot had built with great difficulty.

Faced with this situation, Perfect naturally put the cleanup of the outer urban areas on the agenda.

As the main force in clearing out the evil cult, the God-killing Armor was finally started up again after two months of silence. After a comprehensive inspection and maintenance, it was ready for battle.
