Survival Points Break Ten Thousand! Third Function Updated!
Glug, glug, glug. Under the icy and snowy conditions, the wheels of the Earth Tiger would slip and lose control, but the tracks of the excavator would not!
The tracks, made up of various gears, generate incredibly strong friction on the ground, firmly securing the excavator and preventing any slippage.
"It feels like the ground tiger doesn't look appealing at all in front of an excavator!"
Aside from the fact that excavators have no Storage Space, they are practically a bug in the wasteland.
Even Oreo was extremely satisfied with its special spot, constantly squealing in the bucket.
As a typical "wasteland" human.
Sitting in the excavator's cab, Su Mo's thoughts began to stir.
"With excavators, the next Welfare Disaster. Maybe I can use the power of machinery to directly turn over ten acres, or even twenty acres of land!"
Welfare Disaster simply indicate that plants grow faster and are unaffected by natural environmental disasters.
In this process, humans still need to perform a series of actions such as fertilizing, loosening the soil, shoveling snow, and irrigating to ensure a good harvest.
It's like digging a hole in the ground, throwing in seeds, and expecting a bountiful harvest—in the end, you might have roots and seedlings, but no fruit, no harvest! "I definitely need to clear my five acres of Black Soil, but just those five acres aren't enough to accumulate enough grain."
"This time, we need to accumulate enough food for at least two years—no! Enough for twenty people—to ensure we won't face dire straits later."
The Spring Wheat harvest can reach about 800 to 1,000 jin, and with the added benefit of the Black Soil, a yield of 1,100 jin per mu is not impossible.
Five mu can yield five to six thousand jin of grain.
The Welfare Disaster lasts for three days. If it were a regular seed, shortening the time by fifty times, it would only yield one crop cycle.
If the seed is of excellent quality, it can be grown at a speed of 200 times, producing about three rounds within three days! If it is of superior quality, it is even more terrifying, producing six to seven rounds directly.
Of course, these figures do not take into account a series of trivial matters such as harvesting, tilling, replanting, fertilizing, and watering.
Even excluding these actions, good seeds are enough to produce two rounds, and excellent seeds can produce three to four rounds.
"I have an excavator, which can save time lost during the initial tilling and tilling between planting seasons, greatly reducing time and labor costs."
"As for the remaining steps, without sufficient mechanical power, we can only rely on people."
"It's too slow for me to work alone, and using an excavator would be too wasteful. It's better to just give it to them directly."
"Rent it out?"
A bold idea suddenly popped into Su Mo's mind: there were about a hundred people in the West Candlelight Shelter.
Most of the hundred people were women and children, who couldn't do physical labor like tilling the land. That's why Chen Shen and the others suggested going back to help with the farming.
As for the remaining steps, women, being more dexterous, are actually able to plant faster and better than men.
"What they lack is the strength to till the land, and with the fertility of their soil, even if it can't compare to my Black Soil, they can still get a good harvest."
"Why not just lend them the excavator? I'll provide the seeds and the machinery, and charge rent. It'll be much more profitable than me planting it all myself."
If we could clear dozens or even hundreds of acres of land at the Candlelight Shelter at once, we could use it all for planting.
Not only can we grow more different kinds of crops and achieve resource diversification, but we can also achieve a win-win situation.
"Spending so much time with Zhong Qingshu seems to have made my brain work more effectively!"
Su Mo slapped the steering wheel, his heart filled with joy.
The general approach has been established, but the specific details, including rent, seed level upgrades, and so on, still require Su Mo to study slowly.
After recording this momentous event in his diary, Su Mo looked at the small mound of the Deep Sea Shelter that had already appeared in the distance, honked the horn, and felt his heart pounding with excitement.
They went out twice at night. The first time, they obtained the machine tool core, which led the base down the path of Thermal Weapon.
The second haul was even more terrifying: a God Card, a Legendary Card, and an unopened Gold Treasure Chest lying in the Storage Space.
These accumulated wealthes can never be measured in time.
Most wasteland humans might never see such a magical card in their entire lives, but Su Mo did! And he did it perfectly!
"Deep Sea, I'm back!!"
The snow-covered hill seemed to tremble slightly under the impact of the sound waves, welcoming Su Mo back to his territory.
Arriving here means that you have completely stepped into Su Mo's own "kingdom".
Instead of rushing home, Su Mo patiently began searching along the route where the earthworm had been blown away the previous night, driving the excavator he was sitting in.
The snow accumulation on the plains wasn't too severe, but the low-lying areas were different; the snow there was extremely slippery.
With no obstacles to stop it, and with the strong crosswinds, the groundhog was swept along the ground and slid for hundreds of meters before finally coming to a stop in a clump of bushes.
"Oreo, come down here, time to get to work!"
Calling Oreo to jump out of the bucket, and looking at the earthworm still lying on the ground in front of him, Su Mo began his first excavator operation.
A series of operations.
The results are encouraging.
Aside from the fact that half of the paint on the earth tiger was wiped off by the excavator bucket, and the only remaining left rearview mirror was accidentally "taken away" by the excavator bucket, the earth tiger only suffered minor damage.
It didn't take long for the Earth Tiger to stand up again.
"Since Earth Tiger has a name, to be fair, let's give you one too. We'll call you 'You'."
"King Kong!"
After quickly naming the excavator he was sitting on, and seeing the name appear on the vehicle interface, Su Mo laughed loudly twice, climbed off the excavator, and drove the Earth Tiger back first.
After this battle, for a long time to come, before there are enough resources to upgrade the ground tiger, excavators will have more convenient access to transportation.
Back near the base, Su Mo wasn't in a hurry and drove slowly all the way.
Only when he saw the open door of the Underground Shelter and the person lying at the entrance constantly looking at the Big and Little Spark in the distance did Su Mo step on the gas and speed up.
The lonely Big and Little Spark, were quietly nestled together, waiting for Su Mo's return.
But when the tiger's roar came over, Big and Little Spark were startled! Fluttering their wings, before Su Mo could even stop the car, Big and Little Spark leaped up and flew affectionately into Su Mo's arms, expressing their worries.
"Okay, okay, I was only out for one night, don't make it sound like a life-or-death situation."
"You two have been spending too much time with Oreo, you've even learned to guard the door, huh! You're not acting like chickens at all!"
The obedient Big and Little Spark, after spending some time with Oreo, has completely become "mischievous".
After enjoying Su Mo's embrace for several minutes, the Big and Little Spark reluctantly jumped down, making a gurgling sound as they made way for the entrance.
After parking the Earth Tiger in the garage, Su Mo rushed back to the excavator and drove it back as well.
Compared to the Earth Tiger, the excavator, which is about four meters tall, could not drive in or out of the warehouse at all, so Su Mo had no choice but to give up and park it near the base.
I called Oreo into the basement, glanced at the "fiery red" sky outside, and an overwhelming sense of fatigue finally washed over me.
He hadn't slept all night, walked for several hours, and faced a life-or-death crisis. In front of four billion people, he slaughtered the false god.
It was this constant stimulation that kept Su Mo's adrenaline secreted, and his mental state remained at its peak.
Back in my little nest, I felt a surge of security, along with the hunger pangs in my stomach.
Su Mo quickly took off his Combat Suit, which was already soaked with sweat, closed the garage door and the partition stone door, and returned to the third basement level.
Boil water in a pot, take a bath, and cook porridge.
A simple life can bring a sense of happiness that most people envy.
Compared to ordinary people in the shelters who work twelve hours a day, although they don't have to rush to the front line to fight the enemy, they also lose the right to enjoy a simple and happy life.
"Ah~ Hiss~!"
I lay comfortably in the bathtub, watching Oreo and Big and Little Spark, who were also feeling comfortable and moaning, sitting next to me.
With a thought in mind and filled with anticipation, Su Mo looked at the Survival Points he hadn't had time to check today!

"They gave me over 10,000 points in one go, and even unlocked a third feature?"
Su Mo was stunned when he saw the update notification that popped up on the System Panel.
It wasn't that I got dizzy from taking a bath, but rather that I "blissfully" fainted!
This adventure was worth it!
