Since the parts were already in place, Perfikot naturally began leading the alchemists in the assembly of the Serpentine Shield Machine 1.0.
However, due to the current lack of appropriate engineering equipment in the Northern Territory, and some parts being too heavy, Perfikot had no choice but to enlist several White Bear Knights to don Steam Knight Armor to assist.
Admittedly, Steam Knights with hundreds of horsepower are exceptionally effective at these physical tasks, far surpassing the era's cranes and similar engineering equipment.
So much so that an alchemist suggested to Perfikot to develop some non-weaponized versions of Steam Armor for engineering purposes in related fields.
Perfikot gladly accepted this suggestion, assigning the task to this alchemist, giving him an early model Steam Knight Armor without weapons, and authorizing him to recruit a research team for improvements.
