Destroyer Concept, Prelude to the Revelry!

"Zeta, Zeta, you are such a good person! No, such a good dragon!"

Touching the jet-black, shiny Material Conversion Engine, with its various thick lines intertwined yet possessing a high-tech aesthetic, Su Mo grew increasingly fond and delighted with each look, his eyes shining even brighter.

The first time he killed Zeta, the Silver Treasure Chest that dropped contained the Energy Bicycle Design Blueprint. Su Mo thought that even if it was possible to make it, it would have to wait until the late stages of a technological explosion.

However, by that time, making a bicycle wouldn't have much practical significance.

However, it is precisely because of this design that the stringent conditions for unlocking the Material Conversion Engine have been met!

Of course, the price for unlocking is that the blueprint for the Energy Bicycle, which serves as the key, disappears forever after being inserted.

However, compared to the engine right in front of you, a bicycle blueprint is absolutely a steal!

"I originally thought the biggest challenge in building a ship capable of navigating floods was the engine, but I never imagined that now, as long as we install the Material Conversion Engine, with so much water, it's equivalent to me."

"We have Infinite Energy!!!"

"With 2000 points of durability, if I turn it on for 12 hours a day and off for 12 hours a day, the durability remains unchanged, which is much more abnormal than the special ability of immortality."

The more Su Mo thought about it, the more excited he became. He used both hands to lift the engine and carried it to the large living room on the third floor, where he sat on the sofa and continued his research.

If building a large ship based on a destroyer was an unrealistic dream, then now it can definitely be included in the shelter development plan! Materials— Iron Block, copper blocks, and nearly ten thousand units in the base—will provide a continuous supply of high-strength steel and components as long as a furnace can be built.

At that time, the amount of materials was more than enough to build the hull and various internal structures of a large ship.

As for the heart of the ship, the most important engine in the propulsion system, it has now been replaced by Material Conversion Engine. In addition, with the Sterndrive that were previously obtained from the Lionmen, as long as the size of the Sterndrive is upgraded, power will not be a problem.

With the two most critical points resolved, the remaining supplies are being prepared.

Weapons can be acquired by first building a furnace, obtaining key materials, upgrading machine tools to medium and small-sized machine tools, and directly equipping large ships with dozens or hundreds of RPG launchers.

If any foolish alien races try to obstruct the voyage, the RPG's trajectory will show no mercy.

As one of the most ferocious portable weapons, it is so powerful that even large-scale alien groups cannot withstand it.

As for supplies, that's even more convenient. After this Welfare Disaster, even if we're adrift in floodwaters for a year or two, we won't have to worry.

"Wow, just by using a Material Conversion Engine, they have completely revitalized the future."

"Moreover, not to mention that I can build all the parts of a destroyer, just having three parts as bonuses will ensure my survival in the Great Flood of Punishment Disaster!"

The shelter is currently only at level three and needs to survive Welfare Disaster to upgrade, using destroyer blueprints.

Looking at the engine in front of him, Su Mo could only suppress his restless heart, put the engine away, and start making dinner.

Before long, Moore, who rushed down the street following the aroma of the food, also noticed that Su Mo was in a very good mood and was smiling while cooking.

After looking around, Moore scratched the back of his head, sat down on the ground and laughed heartily in sync with Su Mo, which made Oreo roll his eyes.

Of course, that was indeed the case. Having solved a major problem for the future, Su Mo was now full of confidence regarding the world-ending vision he had seen in the Heaven Stealing Secret.

Even the cooking speed increased a bit.

However, the supplies in the shelters are now truly running out.

Whether it's rice or flour, there's basically only a small amount left in the bags. At most, we can eat it for another two days before we have to declare that the supplies are exhausted.

With the harvest day just around the corner, they decided to make the most of this Su Mo and cooked a large pot of chewy noodles.

Using the vegetables and seasonings currently available at the base, they made fifteen extremely filling bowls of Oil Splash Noodles! These Oil Splash Noodles were so oily that even the Psionic Cabbage would be considered "oily" in modern society.

But in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, it tastes incredibly comforting.

After a brief hesitation, Moore reluctantly swallowed the first bite of Oil Splash Noodles, his first attempt at the dish.

Then, almost without hesitation, a slurping sound filled the shelter as everything was devoured.

Not counting Oreo and the Big and Big and Little Spark, Su Mo and Moore, one person and one bear, devoured eight bowls of Oil Splash Noodles in this meal!

Even after swallowing the chewy noodles, the aroma of oil and vegetables still lingers in your mouth.

"Moore, Moore, you've eaten so much of me, you'd better be working hard tonight!"

Patting Moore on the shoulder as he washed the dishes and pots, and seeing him nodding repeatedly, Su Mo laughed and went to the second floor to prepare the supplies to take with him.

First, the supplies need to be loaded onto the trucks. All the crop seeds must be brought over first. As long as Storage Space is freed up, these things are not a problem.

Next was the issue of diesel reserves, which Su Mo had assumed could be traded in large quantities on the market.

However, even after the Trading Realm closed, only 100L of diesel fuel had been acquired, which could only provide temporary relief and did not truly solve the fuel shortage problem.

"Every day, I have to make a round trip to deliver diesel, and if I need to come back, the Dihu (a type of diesel vehicle) also needs to be in operation."

"So, I'll drive the Earth Tiger later, and teach the Moore how to drive the Harvester!"

The decision was made to let the Thunder Bear Warrior transform into a skilled driver. After quickly loading some weapons and ammunition onto the vehicle, everything was ready.

Time in the wasteland had quickly reached 6:30.

Although no one at the Candlelight Shelter was urging them, including Zhong Qingshu, and there was no news from them, Su Mo knew that they must be extremely anxious.

"Moore, come here quickly, I'll teach you how to drive!"

Because harvesters have single-cylinder engines and no gearbox, they are much easier to drive than groundhogs.

Without much effort, Moore was already able to skillfully drive the harvester around.

Aside from the fact that Moore needs to bend over while driving, from a distance, he really does look like a person driving.

"Alright, Oreo, Moore has hands and feet, that's why he can drive. Don't try to be a hero."

Seeing that Oreo also wanted to go up and drive the Earth Tiger, Su Mo was both amused and exasperated. He picked Oreo up, placed him on the passenger seat, and comforted him.

Under the sky, as Su Mo closed the shelter door and made sure everything was packed, the two steel behemoths officially set off.

The snowflakes have now been completely dried by the sun, turning into a smooth ice surface. Walking on it, relying on the chains for grip, is not slow.

The setting sun was gradually sinking in the distance, and the prelude to the wasteland's "night carnival" was slowly beginning.

The prices of various seeds on the market have been falling more and more drastically due to the influence of Su Mo.

Taking Spring Wheat as an example, the price initially rose to 15 times, but after Su Mo's large-scale purchases ended, it had already fallen to 8 times, and now it has fallen to 4 times, and the downward trend has not slowed down at all.

Everyone who can't afford seeds is waiting for the first group to grow high-quality crops so they can share their resources.

Everyone who could afford the seeds was eager to get started, taking out all their supplies, eating their fill, and sitting on the edge of the field, waiting for the opportunity to fight a desperate battle.

The Candlelight Shelter beneath the Hope Plain is no exception.

To everyone outside, they were the luckiest refuge, located right next to the Su Mo Refuge.

In addition, 240 acres of land have already been cleared using excavators, so that the seeds can be sown immediately once they arrive.

Sitting on the high slope where everyone used to sit after finishing their work, everyone was talking, but their shifty eyes betrayed them.

In the distance, in the direction Su Mo always came from! It was the end of everyone's gaze, and the source of everyone's hopes.

Twenty torches, previously awarded as a reward for surviving the blizzard, were lit and scattered across the ground, illuminating the darkness and causing it to recede.

"Brother Shen, do you think Su God has forgotten about us? The land is all cleared, but there are no seeds."

Sitting on the edge of the field, after more than ten minutes, a 17-year-old boy finally couldn't help but whisper out.

However, just as he finished speaking, before Chen Shen could even reply, the middle-aged man next to him flicked his forehead.

"Hey? You silly kid, Su God Su God n't come because he had something to do, and we all have to wait."

"The fact that so much land has been cleared out and that there are things to grow is because Su God thinks highly of us. We can't even wait a little while. Hey kid, if you say that again, you'll really be an ingrate!"

"Exactly! Others would pay a fortune to buy top-quality seeds, but now Su God is providing them to us for free! That's amazing!"

"Su God is here!!!"

Whoosh! The crowd that had been condemning the idiot suddenly stood up in an instant upon hearing this.

Following the direction the man pointed, two headlights shone brightly in the place where Su Mo usually appeared.

In the darkness, the car headlights were like candlelight, instantly igniting the torch in the hearts of all the refugees!

A flame ignited in everyone's heart!

"Everyone, listen to the slogan! Stand up!"

The director of the Candlelight Shelter has now become the younger Chen Shen, thanks to Wu Feiguang's deliberate deference.

With Su Mo's endorsement, even though Chen Shen was just a young man in his twenties, at his command, hundreds of refugees began to move in unison.

Within four or five seconds, the refugees, who had been in complete chaos and sitting on the ground, began to form an orderly line.

"Attention, everyone! Left face! Count off!"

The two vehicles carrying the "fire" were almost upon them, and the refugees became excited, each shouting their numbers louder than the last.

However, as the two vehicles drew nearer, and all the refugees finally saw what the vehicles behind them were, the counting abruptly stopped.

Quiet, utterly quiet!

Aside from the buzzing sound of the breeze rustling across the ground, even the refugees' breathing seemed to pause for a moment.

This sight left the management of the Candlelight Shelter completely bewildered.

With a puzzled look, everyone turned their heads, and suddenly Moore's large truck came into view.

This time, not only were the refugees dumbfounded, but even Chen Shen, Wu Feiguang, Qi Qin and others were stunned.

"This is..."

"Harvester!!!"
