Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 537 - 504 Research Team

Perfikot used alchemy to recreate the effect of the constant temperature barrier, which undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to those mages.

They considered themselves indispensable and relied on this to negotiate conditions with Perfikot, attempting to secure greater benefits for themselves.

But now Perfikot has completely sidelined them, which undoubtedly made it difficult for many mages to accept, since those accustomed to pleasure are usually weak, and expecting them to stand firm and fight to the death with Perfikot is almost impossible.

Thus, a group of mages who were initially less resolute naturally chose to align themselves with Perfikot, while the other faction of staunch mages also inevitably broke away from them.

Of course, these people didn’t even dare to go to war with Perfikot, let alone engage in internal strife due to their differing opinions.

These self-proclaimed superior mages only quarreled internally and then engaged in some academic exchanges. Unable to persuade each other, both parties parted ways.

Perfikot didn’t mind this result; in her eyes, having these mages was merely icing on the cake, and their absence did no harm. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

In her original plan, there was no place for this group of mages, and she never considered them a necessary part of her plan.

However, for the mages who chose to ally with her, Perfikot didn’t make things difficult for them. After careful consideration, she still didn’t use this group of people as cannon fodder like Palu.

After all, each one of them is considered high-skilled talent, and using them to tighten screws would be somewhat wasteful.

The most suitable purpose for these people is to engage in technological research and development, applying magic to all aspects of life, and then having alchemists integrate it with alchemy, or simply use alchemy to reproduce it.

After all, magic still has its unique aspects, and other alchemists cannot parse a magical technology completely into alchemy as Perfikot can and then fully replicate it with alchemy.

In fact, even Perfikot herself would not easily undertake such a task.

Although her Eye of Omniscience can analyze everything in this world, using it is not without cost, just like using alchemy.

The more complex a thing is, the greater the consumption of Perfikot’s spiritual power during analysis. This time, the constant temperature barrier was still within Perfikot’s tolerable range, but more complex matters would exceed the range her spiritual power could bear.

Forcing analysis would result in her fainting due to spiritual power exhaustion, and it could even pose a threat to her life.

Therefore, Perfikot would not easily use her Eye of Omniscience, leaving most of the work to others.

Thus, this group of mages, along with the alchemists recruited by Perfikot recently and scientists from the Northern Territory branch of the Royal Academy of Sciences, formed a research team specifically in charge of various projects assigned by Perfikot.

The first project they received was to analyze the spear sent by the Ryder Kingdom and find a way to mount it on the Godslaying Armor.

This spear is named Gungnir, said to be the weapon of a Divine from ancient Ryder Kingdom mythology, and allegedly, once it’s thrown, it will inevitably hit its target.

This is a powerful magical weapon, even worthy of being called a Divine Artifact.

Perfikot could certainly use her Eye of Omniscience to analyze it, but analyzing a Divine Artifact is beyond her current capabilities, so she simply handed the task over to those mages and her research team.

She doesn’t expect them to fully replicate this spear, but if they can analyze anything, it would be an unexpected delight.

If they can create a lower-tier substitute based on this spear, even if it’s just a one-time tool, it would be worth the effort for Perfikot.

Not only Gungnir, but two pieces of equipment obtained from the Empress were also similarly arranged. Although Perfikot needs these powerful magical items, their dimensions are designed for human use, making them somewhat unsuitable for mounting on the Godslaying Armor.

Thus, another task of this newly established research team is to find a way to appropriately mount these rare and valuable magical items onto the Godslaying Armor.

Regarding this matter, Perfikot’s attitude is not to rush, but to be quick.

Because according to received intelligence, those Evil God Sects on Langton’s side are actively stirring, and although the church has been suppressing them, they have managed to contend with the church for many years, indicating they are not easily dealt with.

Although there hasn’t been an outburst of a large-scale malevolent event like an Evil God’s descent yet, small-scale sacrifices and cult activities have persisted.

For this, Langton had to dispatch the City Guard and Steam Knights to assist the church in handling it; currently, they are still managing the situation, but the situation has undoubtedly begun to escalate.

Therefore, if Perfikot doesn’t plan to use a Thermobaric Bomb or other powerful destructive weapons on Langton, the first combat trial of the Godslaying Armor will likely arrive soon.

She only gave the research team a very short time, requiring them to first mount the three powerful magical items onto the Godslaying Armor.

As for analysis and replication, they can proceed with ideas but must not delay the main research tasks.

Under Perfikot’s pressure, this group of researchers managed to show some capability. Within a month, they completed the mounting of Gungnir and the other two magical items, and even replicated a projectile similar to Gungnir, trialing several and mounting them onto the Godslaying Armor.

Perfikot was naturally curious about how these researchers managed to solve the magical item mounting issue, and when she saw the mounted magical items on the Godslaying Armor, she couldn’t help but marvel at the necessity of pressuring people.

Simply put, the mages pulled out some of their prized possessions from their pockets, a type of magic array capable of amplifying the effects of magical items, which can expand effects from originally small ranges or single targets to large ranges or group targets.

The mages’ thought process was simple and straightforward: since the size was small, they just made it in a larger size.

They collaborated with alchemists and other scientists to custom manufacture two large-scale weapons that fit the Godslaying Armor from a factory, then opened holes on them to insert the original magical items, driven by their magic array, thereby achieving the goal of mounting originally humanoid-sized magical items onto the Godslaying Armor.
