The Heaven Stealing Secret, Three Experimental Opportunities!

The commissioning of a ship is both a ceremony and a challenge.

Leaving aside the various attitude tests that modern warships undergo before being put into service, even civilian fishing boats undergo a complete series of tests before being launched.

From sealing tests to maintaining the ship's tilt angle in the water, and even system bug testing, there are dedicated personnel to conduct complete process testing and modifications.

These tests are very important. If any data is missing, the car might fall apart after just one accident.

Unfortunately, the wasteland lacked the necessary conditions for these tests!

Not only could we not test it on an 80-meter destroyer like the Su Mo, but we also couldn't find the seawater to test it on a small, handcrafted wooden boat that was only a few meters long.

When the ocean arrives, everyone will have only one chance—a chance to succeed or die trying.

Of course, for ordinary people, it's not a big problem if their self-built ship sinks. As long as they format the Shelter Core, they can use the core to make a raft and try to cross the ocean to the New Continent.

But for Su Mo, the sinking of the destroyer, not to mention the loss of materials and effort, just the time available meant that failure was not an option!

Fortunately, after such a long period of recovery, the energy of the Heaven Stealing Secret was fully replenished two days ago, and it is ready to enter and experience the next disaster at any time.

And because Su Mo is becoming increasingly famous in the wasteland, and even in the world of alien races, his influence on the world is also growing rapidly.

In addition to the previously unlocked permissions one and two, the third permission has also been revealed.

With focused attention, the system's appraisal light naturally shone forth, bringing back the complete attributes of the Heaven Stealing Secret.

Heaven Stealing Secret (The Only One)

[Description]: A mysterious item. A specific activation method is required to uncover its secrets. [Current Holder]: Su Mo (Bound) [Function]: Currently unlocked permissions one, two, and three. [First Permission]: Heaven Stealing Secret's Secrets. Possesses the power to break through shackles. Can make micro-adjustments based on current disasters and the direction of events, predicting the next calamity. The accuracy of the prediction depends on the player's influence on the world (current influence: 3.946%).

[Dual Permissions]: When Heaven Stealing Secret predicts a disaster, if there are circumstances that interfere with its judgment, it will automatically unleash all its energy, drawing the player into the predicted disaster event for on-site simulation. The intensity and duration of the simulation depend on the player's impact on the world. [Triple Permissions]: After a full energy charge, the player can enter the Heaven Stealing Secret simulation world. In the simulation world, the player can choose to exit voluntarily before suffering fatal damage, without clearing the remaining energy value (energy value will not recover until the remaining energy is used up).

[Energy Acquisition]: The energy of the Heaven Stealing Secret comes from the holder's influence on the world. The greater the influence, the faster the energy recovery and the more energy is stored. Conversely, when the player dies, the Heaven Stealing Secret will automatically drop and change holders.

[Current Energy]: 9/9 Compared to before, when the energy was fully charged, entering once would consume all the energy. After unlocking permission level 3, it has become much more convenient.

"Based on the calculation that one point of energy allows for one hour of free exploration, dividing the exploration into three trips of three hours each would be better."

"Navigation status, weapon status, and dangerous driving tests—all of these must be conducted simultaneously."

"If there's an opportunity, we should try our best to measure the ship's extreme data!"

Three testing opportunities, each one extremely valuable.

In the remaining seven days in the wasteland, one day was spent on each test, compiling the test manual and improvement plan.

By improving the plan, each modification to the ship takes a full day.

Three tests, under ideal conditions, would take a total of six days.

After these procedures are completed, barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will only be one day left for final preparations.

Compared to the other ships' small wooden boats, time was extremely tight for the destroyers!

After gesturing towards the void for a while, and seeing that the Heaven Stealing Secret Talisman had returned to the Storage Space, Su Mo stood up and strode towards the equipment room.

Most Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on Earth are just for show.

However, in the wasteland, it is extremely attractive to the villagers and can greatly enhance their sense of collective honor.

Therefore, under Chen Shen's questioning, Su Mo agreed to the request without hesitation.

Wasteland time, 8:40 AM.

When Su Mo, dressed in his Combat Suit and full armor, opened the shelter door with his Martial Arts Spear in hand, all the villagers had already gathered in front of the shipyard, curiously examining the colossal object before them.

Today, after the entire destroyer has been designed according to the Destroyer Blueprint, it has entered the final assembly stage.

The Command Room above deck, the layout of the rooms below deck, and the setup of the warehouses have all been completed in the past few days.

Even the basic renovations have been completed thanks to the mechanics' meticulous "professionalism".

Apart from a few important rooms, such as the captain's Captain's Cabin, the main Energy Room, and the bridge which are still empty and waiting for Su Mo to come and set them up, there would be no problem even if all the villagers were moved up there to live!

In terms of design, the Tier III destroyer, under Su Mo's modifications, has completely broken away from the "shadow" of a destroyer, adhering to the idea of building the thickest armor to withstand the most severe attacks.

Equipped with special steel plates more than half a meter thick, the traditional streamlined shape of the destroyer has disappeared, replaced by the stable and balanced shape of the battleship!

Furthermore, regarding the height, fearing that enemies below might use special abilities to climb up, Su Mo adjusted the height to...21 meters, exceeding the maximum range allowed in the design blueprints! Considering the current length of this Tier III destroyer is 80 meters, its actual height should be around 16 meters to be considered reasonable.

After the water level drops to between 11 and 13, it is a more suitable range.

But now, after being raised by a full five meters by Su Mo, the shape of the entire ship is clearly different from that of a destroyer.

Of course, if a cannon with a caliber of several hundred millimeters could be installed on the Main Deck, this ship could easily be called a battleship! In the distance, Su Mo came out and Chen Shen, who was waiting at the entrance of the Underground Shelter, strode over with a cheerful expression as he called out.

"Big Brother Su, today is a big day for our Hope Village! Everyone is here, not a single one is absent."

"Many villagers stayed up all night waiting for the Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony."

The ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 9:00 AM.

At this moment, a hastily constructed wooden staircase has been neatly installed on the deck above the destroyer.

Furthermore, festive bright red decorations have been hung on the stair railings, encasing all the wood and creating a festive atmosphere.

At the very front of the stairs is an archway painted red.

The archway wasn't large, just big enough for two people to walk side by side, but now, because of the Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony, a red ribbon, resembling a starting line, was hanging across it.

The scale of the entire ceremony was so high that it could be considered a luxury standard in this wasteland.

"Hey, Chen Shen, you're getting cocky. You're wasting so much red cloth like this?"

Su Mo glanced at the red cloth hanging on the stairs and the striking red draped over the destroyer's railing, his gaze hardening, his tone devoid of any joy.

Chen Shen remained calm despite this reaction. He quickly strode to Su Mo's side and continued speaking:

"Big Brother Su, this isn't a waste on our part. We found these red cloths at a bargain price in the market; they didn't cost us much."

"Yesterday everyone was clamoring to do laundry, but after we finished, we realized we had nothing to wear. Then I thought about it..."

"It would be better to just go to the market and buy some red cloth. After the celebration, we can take the cloth down and make a change of clothes for everyone in the village. That would kill two birds with one stone!"

Touching his head, unable to see Su Mo's expression behind the mask, Chen Shen gave an awkward smile.

Su Mo would inevitably ask about this obvious "extravagance," so he had prepared this explanation in advance.

But he was also unsure whether it would actually work.

Other leaders would certainly not hold a grudge on such a day.

For Su Mo, who never plays by the rules, turning his head and seeing the slight unease in Chen Shen's eyes, Su Mo pulled down his mask and smiled helplessly.

"This is a one-time exception. If you engage in this kind of waste again, the difference will be deducted directly from your share!"

If everyone is short of clothes, given the current drop rate of clothes in treasure chests and the price of clothes, buying them directly from the market will definitely be much cheaper than buying cloth.

Chen Shen's little scheme might fool others, but it certainly wouldn't fool Su Mo, who frequents the market every day.

"Next time for sure, next time for sure!"

Seeing Su Mo's "keen eyes" and the slight smile that appeared on his face, Chen Shen's expression relaxed and his tension dissipated.

"Big Brother Su, it's about time, shall we go?"

"Okay! Let's get this done as soon as possible. We need to test the details a few more times, and time is very tight!"

After patting Chen Shen on the shoulder to acknowledge the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the two strode towards the destroyer.

The location where the Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony was held was approximately 800 meters away from the Underground Shelter in a straight line.

Because they arrived at eight o'clock in the morning, the ceremony was not officially held.

Fortunately, seeing the villagers' enthusiasm, the management did not make all the villagers line up and be quiet.

During the slightly relaxed free time, all the villagers chattered excitedly.

"Holy crap, the ship that Su God built is this big! Come to think of it, it didn't seem this big when it looked from the mountain. Now that it's down here, I'm getting dizzy just looking at it."

"I heard the sea can be very shaky. We shouldn't get seasick on such a big ship, right?"

"What's wrong with getting seasick? If you get seasick on such a big ship, how about we arrange a small raft for you to sit on so you won't get seasick?"

"Holy crap, I've never been on a ship in my entire life on Earth. I never imagined that after coming to the wasteland, I'd have the chance to ride on a warship in my lifetime!"

"When the ocean arrives, and Su God sails a warship like this to uphold justice, our Hope Village will become famous too!"

It is 80 meters long and 21 meters high.

Only when standing before such a terrifying behemoth can one truly appreciate how insignificant humanity is.

Behind the crowd of people who came to watch the ceremony, Connie, the Female Lion Man, stood with the only two remaining lions.

Unlike the villagers' excitement, for the alien race, such a "steel behemoth" was a serious challenge beyond their capabilities.

Let alone the two ordinary lion-men, even Connie, who was a priestess, was somewhat delirious.

My previous defection to Su Mo was merely a momentary impulse.

During the days after returning home, Connie thought about it repeatedly, and sometimes even felt regret.

Having had its core bound to Su Mo, it can be said that it has been completely tied to the war chariot.

Su Mo, the Lion-Man race will rise again one day.

If Su Mo were to commit any reckless act, the lion-men would have to pay with their lives.

Under such psychological pressure, Connie did not sleep well and often woke up from nightmares.

But today, after seeing his two subordinate lion-men shouting excitedly and praising his foresight, he realized that...

Connie suddenly felt that she was overthinking things.

With Su Old Devil being so powerful, as soon as the ocean opens, he can carry everyone to the New Continent immediately. What is there to worry about?

I'm such a worrywart! However, before Connie could even begin to lecture the lion-man beside her to calm down and not act like he'd never seen anything like this before, the crowd in front of them erupted in commotion.

"Su God is here!"

"The director is here! Quiet!"

"Line up quickly, the celebration is about to begin!"
