Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony, the Results of Ten Days of Hard Work
"Quick, quick, get up! It's almost six o'clock, and everyone's still sleeping like they're dead!"
"If you miss the time and don't make it, breakfast will not be provided!"
Banging Big Gong he'd somehow acquired, Qi Qin started shouting his wares early in the morning.
Surprisingly, the villagers did not complain at all today.
Upon hearing the gong, everyone excitedly got up naked.
Yesterday, a moderate Moderate Rain fell in the low-lying area, relieving the drought that had lasted for days and also cooling down the hot air.
When it rains, the construction of the destroyer can continue because it is a fully mechanized operation, but the construction in the village will have to be put on hold.
Fortunately, because everyone was working with great enthusiasm in the past few days, the first phase of construction in Hope Village was completed ahead of schedule. After consulting with Su Mo, all the villagers of Hope Village were given a holiday.
This holiday lasted for a whole day.
Can you even take a holiday in the wasteland?
It sounded unbelievable at first, but when Chen Shen gathered everyone together and announced this shocking news, everyone was stunned!
The villagers in Hope Village work 12 hours a day.
We get up at 7:00 AM to wash up, eat breakfast at 7:30 AM, and while we eat, the group leaders announce the tasks. At 8:00 AM, we start work on time.
Six hours, two o'clock, lunch time plus rest time, a total of one and a half hours.
We work from 3:30 to 6:30, have half an hour for dinner, and then work straight through until 10:00 before everyone goes home.
They eat Tian San, with vegetables and steamed buns at every meal, and they also have noodles every now and then in the afternoon.
Everyone agreed on the food, and as for the taste of the dishes, even Su Mo, a gourmand, ate them with great relish every day after the cook brought them down, not to mention the others.
Besides meals, when the weather in the wasteland is "good," a refreshing soup is always on hand.
If the temperature is low, customers can pick up their own food; if the temperature is high, the cook will deliver it every three hours to ensure that no one suffers from heatstroke.
Only ten days after moving to Hope Village, the Hope Village ' physical condition has visibly improved compared to their previous emaciated appearance. They no longer look like refugees!
Of course, if this kind of job, which only provides food and lodging but no salary, were to happen on Earth, it would definitely be condemned as a heartless capitalist.
But in this wasteland, compared to other shelters with their 14 or 16-hour workdays and the need to cut back on food and go hungry, Hope Village is nothing short of paradise!
However, the holiday alone wasn't enough to excite everyone. What was even more exciting was the second piece of news announced by Chen Shen: the Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony for the destroyer!
Tomorrow morning, the destroyer will be officially completed and enter the delivery and fine-fitting testing phase.
Although at this stage, the destroyer is still a model and can only be viewed, not used.
But the villagers didn't know that.
They heard that Big Red Silk would be hung up for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and that after the ceremony, they could personally go up to the destroyer for a tour.
At that moment, everyone from fifty-year-old men to seventeen- or eighteen-year-old children went crazy the instant the meeting ended!
Upon hearing the word "holiday," the planned afternoon nap was canceled. The first thing everyone did upon returning to their lodgings was to head to one place: the Hope Village's Water Collection Point! Water is a regulated resource, and whether it's water from melting snowflakes or rainwater, it's incredibly precious at this place, which is about to be submerged by the ocean.
Each villager in Hope Village receives a weekly quota.
16L!
This water includes not only the water used for washing and rinsing, but also the daily drinking water.
As for what to do when you run out of water, besides borrowing water from someone, you can only stay thirsty and wait for mealtime to drink more soup.
But today, without exception, everyone left some water for drinking and then took out all the remaining water.
Do laundry! Take a shower!
Wash everything that's dirty off them! The villagers' clothes haven't been washed since they arrived in the wasteland because they have no spare clothes.
Aside from Zhong Qingshu, not only ordinary villagers, but even several members of the management team had a strong aura about them.
Once the holiday started, even though the rain had just stopped and the sun hadn't come out yet, meaning the clothes might not dry after washing, no one was afraid and everyone quickly got to work.
As the afternoon progressed, the pavilion on the large platform was already covered with colorful clothes, creating a stunning sight.
From a distance, it looks more like a beautiful sight.
As for taking a bath, that's even simpler.
Once down the mountain, find some clean snowflakes, add some water that has been drawn up, go to the kitchen, pay a small personal allowance, and heat the water.
Sitting in this hot water for about ten minutes will wash away the "dust" and smell from your body.
There's no worry about what to do with the water left over after showering.
After it cools down a bit, put the bucket into the Storage Space, take it to the vegetable garden at the foot of the mountain to water it, and the cycle is complete!
They were busy all afternoon until lunchtime, and around 8 p. m., everyone returned to their lodgings and started preparing for bed.
Naturally, I was woken up at six in the morning and didn't have the slightest bit of morning grumpiness.
Meanwhile, in the Underground Shelter, on this joyous day, Su Mo also got up early to wash up and eat.
After all this was done, it was eight o'clock, and the system's daily report was sent out on time.
"Hmm, today's Survival Points are pretty good, another 1,500 or so in profit."
"Currently, we have a total of [number Survival Points remaining."
"28,000 points"
Sitting on the sofa, seeing the balance exceeding 30,000 points, even though Su Mo's mentality was now as steady as an old dog, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
During those ten days, in the eyes of others, Su Mo was rushing to finish the work every day, controlling the shipyard to build destroyers, and he never had a moment to rest.
But no one, including Chen Shen, knew that the person sitting in the closed shipyard every day was not Su Mo, but a mechanic!
Intelligent robots are both a trump card and a hindrance.
If you can avoid exposing yourself, then do so.
For the villagers, the terrifying productivity of the mechanized workers during this period would not inspire them, but would instead make them feel like they were about to be replaced.
If Su Mo had time to deal with this feeling, it would be fine, but right now he's busy with many things, so it's more convenient to keep it hidden.
Putting all that aside, just like everyone else guessed, with the help of the mechanics, even though Su Mo wasn't busy in the shipyard, Su Mo wasn't idle in the refuge either.
The deal with the Tundra Shelter was completed on the third day.
Five machine guns, ten rifles, and twenty pistols.
Thirty thousand machine gun bullets, ten thousand rifle bullets, five thousand pistol bullets, and ten high-explosive Explosive Pack.
Such a terrifyingly luxurious price would have been unbelievable if Su Mo hadn't been a master of "acting," repeatedly emphasizing the importance of the radar and claiming that he hadn't been able to acquire it in over ten days and was in dire need of it, willing to pay any price. Otherwise, the people at the Tundra Shelter would never have believed that they could exchange a Fire Control Radar design blueprint and a regular Navigation Anti-Collision Radar design blueprint for so much super equipment.
With these ammunition and weapons, let alone sporadic harassment from alien races, even if an entire alien army or a large force of thousands comes, they are no match.
Even with machine guns set up and a battle line in place, they could only be cannon fodder.
With two design drawings in hand, manufacturing the radar was no longer a problem.
Regarding the Fire Control Radar and Navigation Anti-Collision Radar, after repeated emphasis from Su Mo, the versions they received were not the most advanced versions, but rather old-fashioned radars that were active on ships in the 1980s.
This type of radar has lost most of its effectiveness against new modern ships, but in this wasteland, it has one irreplaceable advantage:
The structure is simple, the materials are readily available, and maintenance is easy! Even knowing that Su Mo was a complete novice, the official staff who drew this design were extremely considerate.
It's less of a design drawing and more of an instruction manual!
As long as the parts can be copied and assembled according to the millimeter-precise specifications in the instruction manual, both types of radars can be put into use immediately! Therefore, on the seventh day, thanks to the continuous error correction of the LCD TV, and through a three-pronged approach of manually manufacturing large components, creating system components to compensate for important components, and purchasing small components from the market, the system was able to achieve its goals.
The two old-fashioned radars were finally completed! After the radar manufacturing was finished, Su Mo hurriedly devoted himself to the program configuration in the next three days.
Getting a destroyer moving isn't as simple as just turning on the engine, transmitting power, holding the steering wheel, and stepping on the accelerator.
An 80-meter-long ship requires macro-control from multiple directions; without any one of these links, the ship cannot move.
Without a suitable operating system, Su Mo alone certainly wouldn't be able to do anything, and even with the help of the hundreds of untrained villagers in Hope Village, it would be to no avail.
Therefore, in the remaining three days, Survival Points began to drop rapidly, like water flowing away.
Previously, upon becoming the Food God, the system directly rewarded me with 20,000 points, and my Survival Points exceeded 40,000.
In addition, with nearly a thousand points coming in every day over the past ten days, the total should be over fifty thousand.
But even with so many Survival Points, if they were really spent, they wouldn't be enough to support Su Mo's spending spree.
It's not expensive to directly manufacture a finished product that requires no technical expertise, as can be seen from the fact that the time fuse for detonating Explosive Pack only requires two detonators per minute.
However, if knowledge is involved, such as a system that directly uses creations to match a destroyer, it would require a full 100,000 points.
Even when Su Mo tried to outsource the destroyer's system, finding many people, each responsible for a module, and finally modifying all the backdoors in the system and connecting them to adapt to the destroyer, it still required a whopping 40,000 points!
Left with no other choice, seeing so many points, in order to save on expenses and later maintenance, Su Mo had to devote a lot of Mental Strength to personally conducting programming training in the Training Ground, in order to replace the system modification.
This single flower represents 20,000 points.
However, with extensive training, Su Mo's programming skills made a remarkable breakthrough.
They also became very adept at modifying and improving these systems on the destroyer.
The system responsible for Fire Control Radar and navigation Obstacle Avoidance Radar was modified last night, within three days.
The most important part, the ship's automatic navigation system, is also 90% complete. After the Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and a little overtime work that night, it can be installed on the ship the next day.
"Seven days left, we need to speed things up."
"Tomorrow, at the latest tomorrow, all the basic wiring must be set up, the engine must be installed, all systems must be loaded, and the first round of testing must begin."
Turn off the daily report and open the Storage Space.
Seeing that the dark blue Heaven Stealing Secret Talisman inside had finished charging, Su Mo's gaze sharpened, and he quickly made a decision!
