Chapter 808
Perficote stood in the command center of the floating city, overlooking Langton City below through the heavy glass windows.
The outline of the city is looming in the wind and snow, and the scattered pedestrians on the street are wrapped in heavy clothes, walking in a hurry.
Although Langton's situation improved, her brows were still tight. She knew that the peace of the city was just a manifestation, and the undercurrent crisis could break out at any time.
"Master Earl, news came from the Alchemist Association that they had successfully improved the new oil furnace installation." A servant hurried into the command room, holding a thick report in his hand, with a hint of unconcealed excitement in his tone.
Perficot took the report, his fingertips gently stroked the edge of the parchment, and his eyes swept quickly over the text on it.
The working principle and performance parameters of the new oil-fuel furnace are described in detail in the report.
Compared with traditional oil-fueling furnaces, this new device not only has higher combustion efficiency, but also can maintain stable operation in extremely cold environments, reducing fuel consumption.
More importantly, it adopts a modular design that facilitates mass production and installation.
"Very good." Perficott nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. "Arranging personnel immediately and applying this technology to Langton's heating system. Especially the shelter in the lower city, priority must be made."
The attendant nodded respectfully and then turned around and left.
Perficote's eyes were once again set out to the window, but his thoughts had already flown toward a further future.
She knew that energy issues have always been the weakness of Langton and even the entire empire.
Although the introduction of petroleum fuels has eased some of the pressure, supply problems remain severe as fuel demand continues to increase.
The improvement of the new oil-fuel furnace is undoubtedly an important breakthrough, but whether it can completely solve the empire's energy crisis is still unknown.
She turned and walked towards the podium, tapped her fingers on the alchemy console, bringing out the resource distribution map of the empire's native resources.
On the map, several cities around Langton are marked in red, symbolizing the active areas of separatist forces.
These cities have returned to peace on the surface, but secretly they are hoarding resources and even colluding with the evil god sect.
"Sir Earl, the inspection report of the floating city has been sorted out." Another servant walked in and handed over a thick document, with a hint of caution in his tone.
Perficot took the document and read it quickly.
The report records in detail the inspections of the floating city in various cities in the empire, including resource allocation, public sentiment and potential separatist activities in various places.
"It seems that some people still don't give up." Perficott sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

At the same time, in the shelter in Langton City, the people are enjoying the long-lost warmth. The introduction of a new oil-fueling furnace has made the shelter's heating system more stable, and the indoor temperature is always maintained within a comfortable range.
Children play in the warm shelter, while adults sit around and discuss the future of the empire.
"I heard that Lord Perficote has improved the oil furnace again, so now we don't have to worry about getting frozen in winter anymore." A middle-aged woman said with a smile, holding a cup of steaming tea in her hand, her face filled with rare relaxation.
"Yes, Lord Perficote is really our savior." Another old man nodded and agreed, his eyes full of gratitude.
His face was covered with traces of time, but his cheeks were covered with a healthy blush. It was obvious that these few meals had restored him a lot of energy.
However, not everyone was satisfied with Perficote's rule.
In the dark corner of Langton, a group of separatists are plotting new plans for rebellion.
"Perficot's floating city is powerful, but not impeccable." A separatist leader whispered, his voice echoing in the dim basement with a hint of coldness. "As long as we can destroy her fuel supply, Langton City will be paralyzed, and then it will be the best time for us to fight back." "But Langton's fuel system is heavily guarded, how can we get close?" Another separatist asked with a frown, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
"I have contacted the Evil God Sect and they are willing to help." The leader sneered, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. "As long as we can create enough chaos, Langdon will be paralyzed."
The separatist plans are brewing in secret, and Perficote knows nothing about it.
She is busy dealing with various affairs of the empire, trying to find a way out for the empire in the cold winter of the doomsday.
A few days later, Perficote left Langton in the floating city and headed to those cities where separatist forces were rampant.
She decided to personally suppress these rebels and completely eradicate the hidden dangers of the empire.
The engines of the floating city roared, and the huge mechanical structures shone with cold light in the wind and snow.
Perficote stood in the command room, his eyes swept through the outline of the city below like a knife. She knew that the action was destined to be full of blood and sacrifice, but she had no choice. The future of the empire must not be destroyed in the hands of these separatists.
However, just the day after Floating City left Langton, a sudden attack broke Langton's peace.
With the assistance of the evil god sect, separatists successfully destroyed Langton's fuel supply system. Although there were still reserves in the city, the damage to the fuel supply system still caused great panic.

At the same time, separatists took the opportunity to incite the public's dissatisfaction and attempted to trigger large-scale riots.
"Perficote abandoned us! She only cared about herself and didn't care about our lives or death!" A separatist shouted loudly on the streets, trying to arouse the anger of the people.
His voice seemed particularly harsh in the cold wind, like a sharp blade that cut through the originally calm air.
Langton's situation instantly became precarious, and Perficote, who was far away, knew nothing about it.
The future of the empire is once again trapped in the fog of unknown origin.
In the command room of the floating city, Perficote's eyes remained focused.
She didn't know that Langton was in an unprecedented crisis at this moment.
Her thoughts were still on how to completely eradicate separatist forces. She tapped her fingers on the alchemy console and called up the distribution map of the local resource of the empire.
"Sir, Langton has received urgent news." A servant hurried into the command room, his face pale and a hint of panic in his tone.
Perficot looked up, his eyes swept across the attendant's face like a knife, "Say."
"The fuel supply system has been destroyed and the entire city has been paralyzed. Separatists are inciting public riots, and the situation has been out of control." The attendant's voice trembled, as if every word weighed a thousand pounds.
Perficote's brow frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
She knew that behind this crisis was not just the conspiracy of separatists, but the intervention of the evil god sect made the situation even more complicated.
"Go back immediately." She ordered coldly, with unquestionable majesty in her voice, "Notify the Steam Knights to prepare to suppress the riot."
The engine of the floating city roared again, and the huge mechanical structure turned around in the wind and snow, galloping towards Langton.
