Chapter 801
Langdon's sky seems to be gloomy forever, as if the city is shrouded in a thick gray curtain and can never be escaped.
In the past, many people always thought that the bad weather in Langton was due to industrial pollution.
After all, after the empire entered the industrial age, Langton's sky had almost never been blue.
No matter when you look up, you will see the gray sky, as if a layer of invisible dust is always suspended above your head, covering up the sunshine and the blue sky.
However, with the arrival of the cold winter of the doomsday, a large number of factories moved from Langton to the northern border. The air pollution in Langton City was indeed much less, but the sky did not turn blue.
Only people realized that Langton's weather problems were not as simple as industrial pollution.
After all, it is influenced by the latitude and terrain of Langdon, which makes its weather itself rainy all year round.
Langton is located in the northern part of the empire, close to the polar regions, and the climate is already cold and humid.
In addition to the surrounding mountains, the moisture is difficult to dissipate, resulting in the place being covered by clouds all year round.
After the cold winter of the doomsday, the global climate suddenly changed, making it even more difficult for Langton to see the sun.
Especially when the cold season is in the cold season, when blizzards rage, you often can’t see any sunshine for several months.
The whole city seemed to be swallowed by ice, snow and clouds, and fell into endless cold and darkness.
Langton naturally had a lot of difficulties faced by the North. Even because of his closeness to the Old World Continent, many problems and threats were worse than those of the North.
The cold winter of the doomsday brings not only the extremely cold climate, but also the evil god sects that are ready to move in the old world.
These sects were far more rampant in the empire than in the northern borders, and they used people's fear and despair to try to drag the entire empire into the abyss.
Langton, as the core city of the empire, naturally became the main target of the evil god sect.
Fortunately, Langdon and the North are still in contact. After the technology of the North is updated, Langdon can also be used as soon as possible.
The breakthroughs in alchemy in the northern border and the development of new energy have provided Langton with certain technical support.
So even though the blizzard was raging, Langdon was not completely destroyed. Although life was difficult, he could still hold on.
In this matter, the state education played a great role.
These religious people who stayed in the empire greatly calmed the hearts of the people, and at the same time allowed the people of Langton to endure more suffering.
Although this is not something to be praised and praised, at least it does ensure that the people of Langton can survive better in the disaster.
If a person cannot tolerate suffering, it is very fatal in difficulties.
Because this often makes a person's ability to bear is very low, and he is more likely to have emotional collapse or produce more negative emotions when encountering difficulties.
Even without external factors, this is a fatal problem, not to mention that there are still a bunch of gods waiting to destroy humanity in the old world.
It can be said that the problems of the evil god sect are far more intense and serious in Langdon and the empire than in the northern border.
If it weren't for the state education, Langdon would have fallen long ago.
But even so, Langdon's situation is getting worse and it is becoming more and more difficult to survive. The main reason is the shortage of materials. After all, if the empire had enough resources, Perficote would not have proposed a plan to abandon the land and migrate to the northern border.
Now that the resource supply of overseas colonies has been lost, the little resources in the empire are only a drop in the bucket for Langton today.
Although most people do not starve to death with compressed biscuits made by alchemy, the lack of fuel is a serious problem and threat that cannot be ignored.
After all, a person will not starve to death if he doesn't eat for three or five days, but there is not enough fuel in this extremely cold environment of tens of degrees below zero? In just a few hours, people will be hard.
This problem is also the most trouble that plagued the Langton authorities and many cities in the entire empire.
In order to obtain fuel, the people in trouble even dug out the ice covered by snow and dug out the frozen trees as fuel, including the oak forest planted by the Admiralty Department to build ships.
The empire cannot be said to have no coal resources, but it is also difficult to say that it is abundant.
In particular, the distribution of resources is extremely uneven. Some cities may have sufficient coal resources around them, but Langton City cannot be said to have sufficient resources in any case.
This forces Langton to find ways to trade with surrounding cities to obtain enough fuel.
When Perficot was in Langton before, he sorted out the connection between surrounding cities and Langton, so that several cities can communicate with each other, at least as a whole.

After all, there are still some industrial foundations in Langton City that have not been moved away, so it is still okay to maintain the industrial needs of itself and surrounding cities.
But over time, especially the changes in the environment, the industrial demand in many places has gradually decreased, but the demand for fuel is rising, no matter which city it is facing.
This also makes coal resources that were originally barely enough gradually become scarce, and prices are constantly rising.
The momentum of separatism is gradually rising, and cities with coal resources are also gradually closing themselves in an attempt to maintain their independence, so that they can obtain more resources and benefits from other cities.
When Sandriyong was there, she could still take care of it.
Although she is not good at administrative management, as the only demigod in the empire, her deterrence is still enough.
With her clear support for the orthodoxy of the empire, no one dared to say in front of her that she wanted to engage in division and independence.
But when Sandriyong left Langton and went to the North to participate in the Floating City project, the officials of Langton's authorities could not hold the ground, and the problems began to increase.
Although the officials of the authorities have thought of asking respected clergy to reconcile with respect for the state education, when a person's ambition begins to grow, it is a difficult question to evaluate how much religious belief can play.
Ambition and greed often make people ignore the constraints of faith, especially when survival resources are extremely scarce, people are more likely to choose to betray and divide for their own interests.
The situation in Langton became more complicated as the city's cohesion gradually collapsed, and the flames of separatism were quietly burning in every corner.
In short, when Perficote arrived over Langton in a huge floating city module, although the city had not reached the level of storm, it could be said to be in danger.
The arrival of the floating city undoubtedly brought a glimmer of hope to the people of Langton, but at the same time it also made those who were ill-hearted feel threatened.
Perficot took over Langton's city government as soon as possible and sent a floating city to conduct a round of inspections on the main cities in the empire to deter dissatisfaction.
As for herself, she began to sort out various problems in the current empire.
