Extraordinary Puppet Master

The new home, which had experienced a plague, quickly rebounded under the leadership of Milton and Winnie.

Major relocation activities have begun in the industrial zone, while construction of several new factories in the fourth ring of the heating zone is intensifying.

Milton plans to move all material factories, coal kilns, and metal processing plants in the industrial area back to the heating area.

Only the sawmills and several mines that cannot be relocated are left in the industrial zone and are operated around the clock by eight four-legged robots. From now on, the industrial zone will only harvest raw materials and will no longer be responsible for any processing work.

After the implementation of automation, the output efficiency of these mines is one or two percentage points higher than before. Robots will transport the day's output of wood, coal and metal mines to the heating area every day.

Anyway, robots are not afraid of the cold and will not get sick. The eight four-legged robots took over the mining work for everyone at once.

All the residents’ workplaces are arranged in heating areas to prevent everyone from being caught off guard by a sudden drop in temperature in the future.

Taking into account the loss of more than 500 laborers, some supplies that were not particularly necessary were stopped directly, leaving only a large output of fuel, food, fresh water, purification charms and other just-necessary items.

Although the output is not as good as before, it can barely meet the consumption needs of the new home.

In less than three days, the factory in the fourth ring of the heating area was completed and started operating after the equipment was moved in.

All residents contribute their share of the effort, just to survive, but compared to before, the smiles on everyone's faces are much less, and the shadow of albinism still remains in everyone's hearts.

The pressure of survival makes everyone have time to think about other things, working hard in factories and greenhouses, producing fuel and food.

The banyan tree located in the Ark storage base transmits a batch of mined gold ores to its new home every day for processing into spiritual gold coins.

Karin was not idle either. The remaining thirty marionettes and deputy puppets joined in the work.

After briefly browsing all the books in his new home and entering them into the memory library, he began to digest the newly entered knowledge.

It may be that in the second era, only the path of the ancestors and the holy spirit existed, and the extraordinary people's utilization rate of chaotic spirituality was higher than that in the sixth era due to their professional characteristics.

The knowledge gained from Xinjia also benefited Karin a lot. He took the initiative to study each ritual and spell and integrate it into his own extraordinary system.

Although he has not yet integrated the secret transmissions of others except Winnie and Milton, it does not mean that he cannot integrate the knowledge he has learned into the "Unknown Secret Code".

In order to save divine power, Carlin also tried to improve and optimize the "Unknown Secret Book" himself.

As the days passed, subtle changes occurred in his spirituality.

The efficiency of the virtual kingdom of divine power in refining divine power is increasing day by day, and all of Carlin's attacks and spells have also been reduced in cost and slightly more powerful. This is mainly because the contaminated spirituality in the attacks has become more threatening.

And just when he was obsessed with studying, the temperature in the mortal world was gradually dropping.

On the 18th of the Iceberg Calendar, the temperature suddenly dropped by a level, with the outdoor temperature reaching minus 60 degrees.

Although robots are working in the industrial area, the low temperature has also affected various mechanical equipment, reducing the efficiency to 80% of the original level.

The heating area is in good condition. Under the four-level heating of the energy tower, you only need to wear a heating lamp during outdoor activities to ensure that you will not get sick.

At this time, with the efforts of the engineers at the workstation, most of the indoor heating technology of the Wellington Empire was finally digested. The factory was able to produce indoor heating meters to adjust the indoor temperature of all buildings.

But the corresponding result is that the consumption of Xinjia Coal Mine has doubled again. If all buildings turn on indoor heating day and night, the fuel will be consumed in up to ten days.

On the 25th of the Ice Vapor Calendar, the temperature dropped again, reaching minus 70 degrees.

The production efficiency of the industrial zone further dropped to 70%.

The indoor temperatures of all the buildings in the heating area are okay, much higher than the safe temperature, but the outdoor temperature can only be maintained at minus 30 degrees. Only instructor-level or professional-level extraordinary people wearing isolation suits can walk outside safely.

At this time, the underage apprenticeship system has been completely stopped. The children have not reached the professional level and have very low resistance, so they can only stay inside the children's shelter.

In order to prevent adults from getting sick while commuting to and from get off work, Milton overloads the energy tower for an hour at each of the four meal times every day.

The temperature increased by 20 degrees due to overloading allows everyone to commute safely.

Carlin, Winnie, and Milton also took this opportunity to test the resistance limit of the mentor level, but the results disappointed them.

Mentors are not immune to diseases. They can still contract vitiligo in a temperature environment of minus 40 degrees Celsius.

This is just the data for the ordinary mentor level. Winnie and Milton, the two Chosen Sons, have stronger resistance, but the limit is only close to minus 50 degrees.

Although the result of Carlin's test using 0.5 units of diluted divine power disappointed them a little, it was not much.

They have been mentally prepared for this for a long time, and now they just want to further confirm the infection temperature of the mentor level.

On the 32nd of the ice vapor calendar, the temperature dropped to minus 80 degrees.

Even if the energy tower is turned on and loaded, it cannot guarantee the safety of professional-level extraordinary people who are active in the outside world.

As a last resort, Karin could only take out his Alchemy Colossus again and be responsible for transporting workers to and from get off work.

Everyone no longer eats in the kitchen, but has meals delivered by mentor-level transcendent beings. Even Milton and Winnie personally work part-time as food delivery persons.

At this time, a trace of pessimism has spread in the new home, and many people think that they will not be able to survive the cold doomsday.

On the 37th day of the Ice Vapor Calendar, the temperature was 90 degrees below zero.

At this temperature, neither the heating lamp nor the Colossus Barrier can anymore guarantee the safety of professional-level transcendents.

They cannot safely move outside the heated area unless they wear isolation gowns.

But there are only about 20 isolation gowns in the new home. If it is not troublesome, they can go to and from their workplace, kitchen or shed in batches.

But Milton did not let everyone do this. Instead, he had to announce that everyone no longer needed to work. Carlin and Winnie just remained silent about his decision and did not speak out against it.

Over more than 20 days, the temperature dropped step by step, down to minus 90 degrees on the 37th. There was no relief at all. It seemed that the temperature would drop forever until the world was destroyed.

Although Carlin knew that the cold wave would only last for forty-eight days, he could not tell others to believe it.

Moreover, there are only less than five hours of coal and inkstone left, which means that the energy tower will completely burn out.

Milton has been very economical. Now everyone does not go back to the work shed after get off work but directly goes into the energy tower to lay the floor. This way, there is no need to consume additional coal for heating the work shed.

But the coal is still not enough, and the energy tower will shut down in four hours at most. Not only the other residents of the new home, but even Milton no longer hides his depressed expression.

Death was imminent, and no riot broke out in the new home, so everyone was very open-minded.

"Everyone should maintain order and everyone should enter the energy tower within three hours, with children first."

When the residents of their new home received the order, they all sighed with relief and completely accepted their fate.

Since death is inevitable, welcome it calmly.
