Is You! Su Old Devil!

The weight of one unit of wheat fluctuates around 0.15 jin (approximately 0.25 catties), and is not a fixed value.

This is also one of the rules for measuring on the Game Panel. Some wheat has more moisture, so it will be counted as less, and some wheat has less moisture, so it will be counted as more.

Overall, based on the ratio of wheat to flour, nine units of wheat produce about one pound of flour, enough for an adult to consume carbohydrates for a day in the wasteland.

To mine one unit of Iron Block, one needs to find a mine. A fast person can mine 14-18 units per hour, while a slow person can only mine 8-10 units.

Therefore, by mining for six hours a day, at an average rate of 10 units, one can accumulate 60 units of Iron Block.

With these Iron Block, at the current multiplier of 0.19, you can accumulate enough food for a day and more.

This calculation reveals just how outrageous the purchase price was due to the deliberate buying by Black Merchant.

"0.19 is enough. If it drops any lower, it will really be a losing proposition for ordinary miners!"

After observing that the price of copper had dropped to 0.33, Su Mo stopped waiting and began to send the crops around him into the trading space in batches, waiting to buy them up.

Currently, to build a Tier 3 destroyer, the most demanding steel plate requirement is around 5,000 sheets to ensure a stable production.

Based on the calculation that one iron plate contains 13 Iron Block, 65,000 units are needed. Currently, the base only has a little over 8,000 units at most. After deducting the necessary accumulation, the purchase quantity is set at 60,000.

The demand for copper blocks is much lower; only 7,500 are needed to meet the requirement. After deducting what's available at the base, acquiring 6,000 is enough! In a collapsing market, even if the purchased Iron Block need to be halved, only 120,000 Iron Block are needed to meet the demand.

This quantity would be a large order when the market is stable, but even now, after Su Mo acquired the destroyers along with all the materials for the shipyard, it hasn't made a big splash.

Looking across the World Channel, there were quite a few people who went crazy spreading this positive news when Su Mo entered the acquisition.

But the result was the same as crying wolf: the first few small-batch purchases completely exhausted the enthusiasm of retail investors.

Even with countless Black Merchant shouting their pleas, no one is willing to take on these materials.

With just 26,760 units of wheat, or 4,000 catties, Su Mo obtained the materials to build a third-class destroyer.

As for the materials for upgrading the shipyard, they were even cheaper; just 1200 jin (600 catties) was enough to make up the entire quantity.

Pressing the extraction button, it was as if a huge hole had opened in the sky, and iron Iron Block rained down, piling up around the shelter.

Fortunately, the Game Panel seems to have extracted the previous Iron Block and copper block arrangement, and it still uses the accumulation method to evenly pile the remaining Iron Block to one side.

A neat wall of Iron Block stretched for at least one or two kilometers under the sun, its surface gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen.

The refugees watching from afar were amazed by this scene.

Of course, there's no surprise, considering that after harvesting millions of kilograms of wheat from the shelter, such material purchases are still within acceptable limits.

"After this round of trading for basic materials, all that's left is to go to the World Channel and collect the shipyard modules we need!"

Walking along the dirt path left by the Iron Block wall, after a satisfied inspection of all the materials, Su Mo returned to the shelter and began the final major acquisition before the disaster.

The Shipyard Module, large and small, and Su Mo piled them all up at once, regardless of whether they could be used at the moment.

The results were encouraging. Shortly after the message was sent out, the Power Module was the first of the three basic modules to arrive, following the addition of private messages.

With the materials and cards already available in the market, you can start building directly.

Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes.

After consuming 510 Disaster Points as delivery fees and 860 kilograms of wheat as the traded goods, Su Mo successfully received four types of items from more than ten different modules.

These are the Power Module, Inspection Module, Import Module, and Detail Carving Module.

As for the Material Input Module that was previously listed for sale, it's likely that they saw Su Mo's identity and, taking advantage of the fact that only they possessed it, they were asking for exorbitant prices.

Su Mo couldn't be bothered with this kind of person. After confirming that he could place the materials by hand, he decisively blocked this idiot.

With a flash of light, Su Mo reluctantly paid the delivery fee and, looking at the four large items that had just appeared, easily moved them to the first-floor garage using the Storage Space.

The Module Technology is very stable, and the furnace in the garage is still dutifully manufacturing steel plates.

After checking the generator below and finding no problems, Su Mo closed the large iron gate of the shelter and walked out with peace of mind.

In the wasteland, as long as it's sunny, even if it's already 5 PM, there's still no sign of darkness.

The warehouse entrance next door was also piled high with things.

Under the diligent leadership of Moore, the convoy carrying supplies has already made three trips.

The humans who had lived in the wasteland for almost a month were frighteningly brave.

The Earth Tiger, which I thought could only carry seven people at a time, was able to transport more than 20 people at a time after I added two small carts to it.

In just three trips, they brought back nearly 80 cubic meters of supplies, demonstrating extremely high efficiency.

Seeing Su Mo walk out of the gate and lock it, the two militiamen standing guard to the side gave him a hesitant salute.

The salute, though well-trained by the four prison guards, did look quite professional, but to Su Mo, who came from a military family, it was rather amusing.

Patting the militiaman on the left shoulder, and seeing his flattered yet excited dark face, Su Mo gave him a kind smile.

"You don't need to guard this area anymore, go help out on the mountain!"

"Can"

"There's no 'buts,' go on!"

The militia's reactions to both Chen Shen's and Su Mo's orders were very realistic.

First, he quickly considered the consequences of disobeying Chen Shen's orders, and then the consequences of disobeying Su Mo's orders.

After thinking it over, the two of them shuddered instantly, saluted again, and jogged towards Iron Stone Mountain.

As the sun set, their shadows grew longer and longer, bringing a touch of solace to Su Mo in the long-deserted hollow.

"I used to think very simply, always wanting my family to live like a family."

"Now that I'm stronger, I feel a greater sense of responsibility!"

Humans are all ambitious.

It's okay if you haven't experienced the feeling of having a word that carries immense weight and deciding someone's life or death; very few people can resist the urge to do so.

Shaking his head and sighing at the change in his mindset, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. Following the trailing shadow, Su Mo stepped forward.

The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's nearing dusk.

The imposing Iron Stone Mountain is surrounded by unobstructed sunlight, allowing it to enjoy full-body sunshine.

Especially under such fine weather, one can truly appreciate the magnificent beauty of the mountains.

At the foot of the mountain, after half a day of hard work, a considerable number of iron blocks have been unearthed and piled on the ground.

Before even reaching the mountain, Su Mo could hear a faint tinkling sound coming from the Summit Platform.

These are villagers from Candlelight Village mining.

At the same time, it was also they who rebuilt their homes in this unfamiliar "low-lying area".

The villagers have money, so they don't have to worry about the availability of basic tools.

Even with a high-quality Iron Pickaxe in hand, it still takes a lot of effort to knock off a piece of iron rock.

But compared to miners on Earth, it's still countless times easier; even an urban white-collar worker can work for half an hour without a break.

As they walked up the mountain road, Chen Shen arranged for a militiaman to guard and protect them every two hundred meters or so.

After receiving one salute after another, Su Mo had just reached the platform at the top of the mountain when he met his first "old friend" of the day: the Female Lion Man! When he first met the Female Lion Man, although the Lion Man Tribe was not wealthy, the Female Lion Man, as the leader, still had a shiny and glossy mane, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes. She was in no way inferior to the male lion-woman in terms of demeanor.

Adding to the magic, Su Mo was truly astonished upon their first meeting.

When they met again, the lion-man camp had been destroyed by the enraged kobolds, and all the lion-men had fled their homes and scattered in all directions.

On a windy night, the remaining lion-men launched a fire attack on the castle. Although the Female Lion Man's clothes were tattered, she stood before all the lion-men and unleashed her magic, her charm even more impressive than the first time.

It wasn't until the third time, after the Kobold Castle was destroyed and on the way to Candlelight Village, that Su Mo took down several lionmen in succession. The remaining lionmen, including the Female Lion Man, all had lingering fear on their faces. Their lion confidence was completely shattered, and they were utterly terrified.

But now, looking at the Female Lion Man in front of him who was almost bald, covered in red spots and wounds, and with a vacant look in her eyes, Su Mo gently shook his head and walked over.

The Female Lion Man was completely bound, using the standard military grappling techniques: thick Hemp Rope woven from vines around her forearms. Even in her prime, she would have had no chance of escaping.

Furthermore, this method of binding forced her to look only at the ground, so even when Su Mo was about to approach, she still couldn't lift her head to see who was coming.

Step by step, Su Mo walked until he stood before the Female Lion Man.

The Female Lion Man, feeling a bit dizzy after being exposed to the scorching sun all day, didn't pay much attention to the sudden blocking of the setting sun's rays, and continued to stare blankly at the light and shadows on the ground with her head down.

She knew very well what would happen if she became a prisoner, but she did not give up hope of living. As a person with faith, going directly to her death would mean going to hell.

Therefore, she still believed there was a chance to escape.

However, this thought stopped when she smelled a familiar scent in her nostrils.

"Who?"

After a long absence, the Female Lion Man can now speak human language, just like the White Robed Kobold.

You could also tell from her tone that she was curious.

The person in front of me smelled both very familiar and very strange.

For a lion, remembering scents isn't its forte, so it can only identify familiar faces.

Before the Female Lion Man could think further, the figure in front of her crouched down, pulling back the black mask to reveal the face she had been "longing for"! "It's you!"

"Su Old Devil!"
