Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 870 - 99

When Sanderion arrived in Langton, thick clouds were enveloping the sky over Langton City, forcing her to lower the Floating City to avoid entering the cloud layer.

Although the Floating City is not afraid of cumulonimbus clouds, it's better not to drive the Floating City into clouds unless necessary.

The gloomy weather made everyone feel somber, and Sanderion was somewhat worried that she might be late, as fireworks had risen in Langton City, which seemed to have been attacked not long ago.

However, the overall atmosphere of the city seemed quite stable, which made Sanderion relax a bit.

Once the two Floating City modules connected according to Perfikot's original design, Sanderion quickly sought out Perfikot.

"Perfikot, what's the situation with the gods' battle?" Sanderion cut straight to the point without any pleasantries.

Her voice was urgent, eager to hear the latest news: "I came immediately with the No. 2 Floating City module as soon as I got your message. I should be on time, right?"

"You're lucky, just in time," Perfikot turned around, with a tired smile on his face, explaining with a bit of relief: "Currently, the gods have only sent a few lower-tier Divine Attendants to probe; we've killed a few unfortunate ones, while the rest fled back.

In general, it's just pre-war harassment and probing—the real battle of gods hasn't started yet. We have a little time, but not much."

Upon hearing Perfikot's explanation, Sanderion slightly relaxed from the worries accumulated during her journey.

Her gaze swept over the third Floating City module under construction, intentionally adding a bit of light-hearted jest to her tone: "Seems you're progressing well? Having the Philosopher's Stone certainly makes a difference! I took stock of your Godslaying Armor in the Northern Territory; it's almost three times more than mine.

This time, I brought a third of them over. Counting what I left in Langton and what you brought, we should have over twenty now. This amount should be enough for the current situation, right?"

"For the moment, it should be sufficient, but once the gods' battle starts, nobody can tell what will happen," Perfikot shook his head, then looked at Sanderion: "The second Floating City module you brought is a big help; it can now accelerate the construction of the third module. However, the resources are a bit tight, and I'm not planning to excessively strain the Empire's homeland, so there are issues with the supply."

Sanderion nodded, putting away her jesting tone, her expression turning serious: "Regarding the resource issue, I have an idea for you to consider.

The mineral veins on the Empire's homeland have been almost fully exploited, but there are still vast undeveloped resources at sea.

Especially the minerals on the seabed, with abundant reserves, though the mining difficulty is high.

If we can develop technology suitable for underwater mining, perhaps we can obtain a large amount of resources in a short time."

Perfikot's eyes showed a hint of interest, but he soon frowned: "Underwater mining? That's not an easy task! The pressure in deep sea is immense, and ordinary mining equipment can hardly withstand it.

Moreover, the underwater environment is complex; even a slight mistake can lead to catastrophic consequences."

Sanderion smiled and took a design blueprint from her backpack, handing it to Perfikot: "This is the design I tried to create for new deep-sea mining equipment on my way here.

I designed it with pressure-resistant shells and waterproof structures; there might be some issues dealing with deep sea environments, but it's fine for shallow sea operations."

Perfikot took the blueprint and carefully looked through it, his eyes gradually showing approval: "Not bad, this design has great potential! If we can combine it with the mining units of the Floating City, maybe we can obtain a large amount of resources in a short time."

Sanderion nodded: "Exactly, the mining units of the Floating City are highly efficient; if they can be modified to suit underwater environments, the mining speed will increase significantly.

However, this requires substantial technical support and resource investment, which might impact the construction of the third module, so it depends on how you weigh the priorities."

Though Perfikot possessed the Philosopher's Stone, developing this new mining unit still requires significant resource investment, which is difficult considering the current tense situation.

After thinking for a moment, Perfikot decisively said: "It's urgent, and we have no other choice! Start modifying the mining units of the Floating City immediately, and send technical personnel to coastal areas for mineral exploration, preparing for underwater resource mining."

Sanderion did not object to Perfikot's decision.

After a brief discussion, they decided to act separately right away.

Sanderion led a team to coastal areas for resource exploration, utilizing the Astrologer's divination to prepare for subsequent resource mining.

Meanwhile, Perfikot would optimize and upgrade Sanderion's design, then modify the existing mining units, striving to transform a batch capable of underwater operations in the shortest time possible.

Both had a proactive approach, wasting no time as they embarked on their respective missions.

Sanderion left the module she brought, concentrating the construction capabilities of both Floating City modules on the third module, aiming to complete it in the shortest time.

Yet, the gods obviously wouldn't stand idly by while they strengthened their capabilities.

Several nights later, bright flashes suddenly appeared in the sky; giant Divine Attendants appeared in Langton City and attacked the third Floating City module under construction.

"Enemy attack!" The huge alarm echoed through the night sky, nearly awakening the entire Langton City.

"You've got some nerve! Incorrigible fools!" Perfikot looked at the approaching gigantic creatures, impatiently ordering the counterstrike.

With the order given, the defense system on the Floating City rapidly activated, with anti-air turrets targeting the approaching Divine Attendants.

At the same time, several Godslaying Armors flew out of the Floating City, heading towards the Divine Attendants.

The battle fiercely unfolded in the night sky, as the collisions between Godslaying Armors and Divine Attendants burst into dazzling light.

These Godslaying Armors were made by Perfikot in the Northern Territory from ancient beasts' corpses; both their defensive and offensive powers are considerable, capable of one-on-one engagements with Divine Attendants.

With the advantage in numbers, the attack by these Divine Attendants was practically futile.

With Perfikot personally commanding the battle, the anti-air turrets on the Floating City began firing, and the Divine Attendants were shot down one by one.

Eventually, all the assaulting Divine Attendants were annihilated, their bodies sent to Perfikot's lab, becoming new raw materials for Godslaying Armor.
