Not wanting to waste ti traveling, Perfikot arrived in Beloburg via the Flying Airship this ti.
Since her last visit, there hadn't been much change in Beloburg.
But as the city's weather controller had been constructed, the weather was exceptionally good.
"Has the weather controller been put into use?" Perfikot asked the person beside her, looking at the clear weather and bright sunshine.
The court attendant responsible for welcoming her replied, "It was completed shortly after you left Beloburg and is activated during inclent weather to disperse it.
A few days ago, the Astronomical Society predicted a small snowstorm during this period, so the cloud layers were dispersed."
Perfikot nodded slightly at this answer, but then asked, "Why is the Astronomical Society still responsible for weather reporting now?"
Though the Astronomical Society had previously handled weather predictions, they generally treated it as routine practice and not serious forecasts.
As for using weather forecasts in conjunction with the weather controller, Perfikot had considered it, but never implented it.
It's not that she couldn't do it, but she always had doubts about controlling the weather, fearing it would cause adverse effects on the climate.
If adverse weather is frequently dispersed, it could disrupt local climate patterns.
After all, the weather controller is not a cheat code in a ga to delete bad weather with one click but disperses it, disrupting natural climate changes.
This causes a chain reaction and could even lead to severe consequences.
If not for the severe snowstorm last ti, Perfikot wouldn't have thought of using the weather controller to change the weather either.
"It was Deputy Pri Minister Kafka's suggestion. She proposed that the Astronomical Society predicts future weather, activating the weather controller only for inclent weather to minimize climate impact." The court attendant provided an answer, which surprised Perfikot beyond expectations but seed reasonable.
Kallen, whom she had nurtured and supported, was now maturing. It's not surprising she'd propose such suggestions.
So Perfikot rely nodded and didn't concern herself further with this matter.
With the court attendant's service, Perfikot arrived at her usual hotel.
Along the way, perhaps because of preparation for so festival, the streets were adorned with ribbons, and stalls were being set up.
Noticing this, Perfikot slightly frowned and asked the court attendant, "What is being prepared for? I don't recall any festival being held in Beloburg."
"It's preparation for the Floating Battleship's maiden voyage ceremony. Deputy Pri Minister Kafka suggested the cabinet turn this ceremony into a celebration to stimulate Beloburg's economy." The court attendant replied.
"Kafka again?" This ti, Perfikot showed a surprised expression.
She had certain expectations for Kallen's growth.
But this level of growth seed beyond Kallen's expected abilities.
"Yes, it's Deputy Pri Minister Kafka!" The court attendant spoke with pride, saying, "Deputy Pri Minister Kafka proposed a series of recovery policies after the disaster, which greatly helped advance the Floating Battleship's maiden voyage ahead of schedule!"
Hearing this answer, Perfikot had more doubts.
She considered herself familiar enough with Kallen. It wasn't surprising that she could propose new policies beneficial to economic developnt.
Having led worker movents and participated in pri ministerial elections, even if Kallen wasn't knowledgeable before, she should have so growth and accomplishnts by now.
But being able to suddenly develop a series of economic policies that proved effective was astonishing.
It's like soone who usually scores eighty in exams, ranking average in class, suddenly leaps to the top ranks in the whole school or city; anyone would wonder if there's sothing suspicious.
While Perfikot didn't suspect Kallen of cheating, she was curious about how she conceived these ideas.
Thinking of this, she told the court attendant, "Arrange for to et with Deputy Pri Minister Kafka; there's sothing I'd like to discuss."
"Alright, I will inform Deputy Pri Minister Kafka," the court attendant agreed to Perfikot's invitation, though appearing strange and sowhat unwilling.
Perfikot beca increasingly concerned; she had been away from Beloburg for only three months, yet it felt like three years had passed?
From this, Perfikot grew wary, instructing Beifa to switch to alert mode.
If anyone intended to cause trouble, Perfikot wasn't entirely unprepared or without plans, and she was ready to confront issues if needed.
However, this would an Beloburg couldn't be preserved, as she'd already witnessed the consequences of divine-level battles in cities with Langton and hoped not to see a repeat anywhere.
"So, what exactly happened? Or is there soone incredibly talented around Kallen?" Perfikot requested the series of policies Kallen had issued and, after carefully studying them, couldn't help but furrow her brows deeply.
Kallen's policies were overall not complicated and could be summarized as the governnt distributing money to workers through infrastructure construction, enabling them to buy goods, thereby driving internal demand and economic recovery.
Holding celebrations was an extension of this policy, accompanied by a series of related policies.
As for how the manufacturing period of the Floating Battleship was shortened so much, Kallen extended workers' labor hours from ten to twelve, implenting a shift system.
This thod reduced the construction period and lowered the standards and requirents for fitting the Floating Battleship, allowing for rapid advancent and completion in a short ti.
At this point, Perfikot's expression changed.
Kallen represented the interests of the workers and was the Workers' Federation's elected leader; using thods to exploit workers didn't make sense.
Especially as the extended hours and night shifts did not co with extra overti pay, which seed all the more wrong.
This led Perfikot to seriously suspect either Kallen had problems, or soone around her did, or possibly both.
