Thump! Splash! Splash! Splash! "What's that smell?"

"Holy crap, the shelter's on fire?"

A chill ran down my spine as I smelled the lingering scent of smoke in the bedroom and heard a clattering sound, like something being stirred.

Su Mo, who had just been in a deep sleep, woke up almost instantly.

The next second, upon realizing that the smell was indeed from burning firewood, Su Mo jumped up without thinking and rushed towards the source of the smell.

Underground is different from above ground. If a fire breaks out underground and cannot be extinguished in time, coupled with the Explosive Pack currently on the third floor, it will cause an unimaginable "tragedy"! As he ran out, Su Mo's mind quickly flashed through what he had done before going to bed yesterday.

Did you leave the fire burning after steaming the fruit? Did the firewood get splashed with flames?

Or is it an enemy invasion?

As Su Mo's mind raced, his pace slowed as he approached the fire, a look of surprise crossing his face.

Yesterday, the entire stove was moved to the first floor to steam fruit. Before going to bed, Su Mo was too lazy to move it back to the third floor, so he simply placed it on the first floor.

At this moment, in front of the familiar stove, seeing Su Mo standing in front of the stone gate with a panicked expression, Moore, who was "cooking" in front of the stove, turned around, revealing a set of white teeth, and laughed heartily.

"Tsk, Master is awake. Moore will be cooking soon, so get ready to eat!"

On the left, a pot is boiling, with a large pot of noodles floating in it.

This is dough that Su Mo made while kneading dough before. We didn't finish it, so we put it in the refrigerator.

In the pot on the right, Moore used the "limited" resources of the current shelter to cook a strange soup.

Although the soup's color is off, being all over the place and not in line with the aesthetic preferences of Chinese cuisine.

But the taste is surprisingly delicious!

"Moore, who gave you permission to cook for yourself? Aren't you afraid of setting our house on fire?!"

With a stern face, Soma lectured Su Mo while waving his hand to summon the Lion Man's Wind to carry away the heavy, smoky atmosphere.

Normally, when cooking, Su Mo would control the wind to carry away the smoke at regular intervals.

Therefore, based on habitual thinking, no one expected that it was Moore who was using the stove to cook, thus falling into a cognitive bias.

On the other side, under Su Mo's strict instruction, Moore realized that he had done something wrong with good intentions, and could only look at him pitifully, his eyes full of pleading for him not to be angry.

"Alright, alright, this is the only time. From now on, you're not allowed to cook without my permission!"

"Master treats Moore the best, Moore will never dare to cook for himself again!"

Hearing Moore mention special treatment, and seeing Oreo lying on the ground pretending it was none of his business, Su Mo could only helplessly rub his forehead.

Well! That idiot Moore is probably being sold out and is still helping the seller count the money! Education is education, but rules are rules. After inheriting the Thunder Bear Family's craftsmanship, Moore's soup base is actually not bad.

For a complete novice to have such skill is a testament to their exceptional culinary talent.

After hastily finishing two large bowls of noodles, Somo tossed the bowls to Moore to wash, then flung open the Alloy Gate and Su Mo outside into the fresh air.

A day of rain washed away the heat of the wasteland.

Along with it, they also took away a cloud of dust.

With the nourishment of the rain, most of the ice and snow have melted and seeped into the ground, while lush green grass sprouts from the ground, looking thriving.

The Source Energy Fruit Tree had their fruit picked did not wither; instead, because they no longer needed the fruit to draw nutrients, they grew even taller.

Looking further into the distance, the sun had already climbed into the sky; I estimate it must be around 8:30 now.

"It's a pity. Once the ocean arrives, the salt will completely destroy the ecological environment of this land. Even if the ocean recedes in the future, it will still be unsuitable for planting."

"It seems my Black Soil will have to be sacrificed this time too!"

After walking out of the shelter and taking a stroll along his usual patrol route, Su Mo returned with peace of mind.

Compared to his initial caution, as he spent more time living in the wasteland and his physical abilities improved, Su Mo became less concerned about the dangers outside.

Unless there are hordes of alien races, a single or a few Mutated Creature are no match for the current Su Mo.

Furthermore, with multiple detection points, it's easy to see whether any creatures are approaching.

"I wonder how the task I gave Chen Shen is going. Today we need to move everything over and start manufacturing as soon as possible!"

Before going to sleep last night, Su Mo instructed Chen Shen on several matters through the friends panel.

Unlike previous migrations, with Storage Space available today, although not all the grain can be transported at once, it can still be considered a lighter journey.

The straight-line distance between Candlelight Shelter and the Underground Shelter is 103 kilometers to be precise.

With the help of excavators and harvesters, it wouldn't be a problem to relocate all the ordinary people here within a day.

As for the remaining supplies, a certain number of guards will be left to watch over them, and then Earth Tiger will carry people back in batches to move all the remaining supplies over.

This shouldn't take too long. There are no traffic police in the wasteland, and the Earth Tiger can only seat six people normally.

But as long as you add a few self-driving cars behind them and squeeze them in, it's not a problem to carry twenty people at a time.

In addition to the original five cubic meters of space, it can transport twenty-five cubic meters at a time.

They can make about seven round trips a day, and it will only take about five or six days to transfer all the supplies.

Chen Shen had no problems in the friends panel.

After seeing Su Mo's instruction to stop short of revealing the key points, Chen Shen explained his plan one by one.

These plans were all very comprehensive, and even though Su Mo was very picky, he couldn't find any source of danger.

"Chen Shen is now completely in control of Candlelight Shelter. But that's fine, it'll make it easier for me to manage it from now on."

Delegating authority to subordinates requires absolute strength and confidence.

Given the current mindset and capabilities of the refugees, Su Mo was quite confident that this situation wouldn't deviate from the general direction! He told Moore to drive the fully fueled Earth Tiger to the Candlelight Shelter to collect supplies.

After giving some more instructions, and watching Moore leave, Su Mo also got "busy".

In the aftermath of the disaster, everything needs to be rebuilt! Now that we have a clear goal for shipbuilding.

After turning on the generator, powering on the furnace, and watching the materials begin to produce the pre-set steel plates, Su Mo felt relieved and went outside the shelter. He then took out the item Accessory Item Adaptation Card that he had been putting aside ever since he drew it!

This was something I found in a treasure chest from the Pterodactyl Zeta, along with the Thought Ring.

Moreover, this item is of high quality, being rare enough to be considered a top-tier item on par with Destroyer Blueprint.

In terms of attributes, as long as you use a card or coupon and specify a design blueprint, you can derive a design blueprint of the same origin.

"Building an 80-meter-long warship isn't like stacking blocks or playing with Lego; you can't just put steel plates together and call it a day!"

"Without matching technology or other facilities to assist me, I'm afraid I simply couldn't build it at all, given my complete novice level!"

After using the Destroyer Blueprint, the game will automatically transfer some related mechanical knowledge, warship knowledge, and weapon knowledge while you are asleep.

Yesterday, although I was startled awake, Su Mo still absorbed enough relevant knowledge in his dream.

In terms of overall construction, the design process for warships has been simplified; all that is needed is to install each part according to its design.

However, based on this, the knowledge in the design drawing transmission still mentions something more convenient: a shipbuilding assistant! This thing sounds high-end, but its actual function is similar to a large 3D printer.

All you need to do is build an 80-meter cube structure, pile all the materials inside, and provide enough energy or points, and the construction assistant can move quickly on its own without any assistance.

It was so awesome!

"I only have one card, whether I can gamble and get this blueprint is really up to luck!"

"But don't panic. Even if we can't gamble it out, we can still build it with a lot of Survival Points, although that would be even more expensive!"

Holding the coupon, I looked at the sun high in the sky and the Oreo lying lazily beside me.

Su Mo took a deep breath, crushed the card, and silently recited that the main subject was Miniature Destroyer Design. A streak of light flashed, and the card began to take effect.

Before the empty space, streaks of white light began to converge. From top to bottom, a design blueprint of the same origin emerged.

The first thing that came out was the design of the blueprint. Unlike the one in my dream, this blueprint looked like a large factory, without any sense of sophistication.

Looking further down, countless mechanical scaffolding structures are still erected on the design drawings, with a strangely shaped "giant" ship fixed in the middle of the scaffolding.

"Sigh, looks like he's not a shipbuilding assistant after all. But it's not bad, this design should also be related to shipbuilding in some way."

Su Mo wasn't upset about not getting the shipbuilding assistant he wanted most; he just considered it a chance to build up his luck for the next lottery draw.

The further down the map you go, the slower the blueprints evolve.

It was still early, the furnace was under construction, and Su Mo was in no hurry, patiently waiting for the blueprints to be completed.

About ten minutes later, just as Su Mo's attention had drifted elsewhere, the blueprint finally snapped open and successfully broke free from the light spot's grasp, floating in the air.

"Let me see, this is a modular miniature."

"Shipyard???"

"Damn, this is a good stuff!"

Examining the Chinese characters at the bottom of the drawing, Su Mo was pleasantly surprised when he noticed the three characters for "shipyard." He grabbed the design drawing and examined it closely.

Shipbuilding assistants are awesome, much more capable than those in ordinary shipyards.

However, once a shipyard is associated with the word "modular," it is bound to be something extraordinary, and it is very likely to develop a series of strange functions.

With a flash of light and a payment of Disaster Points, the complete design blueprint attributes popped up.

[Creating Heaven Number One - Miniature Modular Shipyard (Rare)]

[Description]: In the inaugural year of the rise of modular technology, more and more industries began to favor it, and the shipbuilding industry was no exception. From the initial human and animal power, to later mechanical power and printing, it finally began to be fixed after evolving to modular technology. Similarly, this development path has witnessed the rise and fall of the shipbuilding industry and the continuous development of ship types.

[Special Purpose]: This shipyard focuses on building short-to-medium-range spacecraft for travel to and from space, and has a unique cost-performance advantage in micro spacecraft.

[Modules]: Power Module, Import Module, Material Input Module Automatic Construction Module, Inspection Module, Detail Carving Module, Manual Access Control Module, Wind Tunnel Test Module, Vacuum Experiment Module. [Restriction ①]: Manufacturing can only begin after possessing the Power Module, Import Module, and Automatic Construction Module (Not Met). [Restriction ②]: Requires a one-time consumption of Disaster Points to learn (Met).

[Restriction ③]: Requires 500 units of iron, 250 units of copper, and 200 units of aluminum (not met).

[Restriction 4]: Ship design blueprints are required to construct the ship (satisfied).

"This is outrageous!"

"Can a spaceship be called a ship?"

"Besides."

"I've opened a shipyard capable of building spaceships???"

Staring at the attributes of the design blueprint in his hand, Su Mo was truly dumbfounded this time!
