Gulu Gulu After the natural disaster-like "Ocean Downpour" no longer hit the deck and overhead.

Between heaven and earth, only the sound of the Hope's drainage was left.

The rain came so fast that it caught people off guard.

He walked just as quickly, leaving no trace behind.

If it weren't for the water under him and the endless sound in his ears, Su Mo would have thought that everything before was just a figment of his imagination.

After 15 minutes and 10 seconds, just three seconds, everything seemed to have been pressed on the stop button and suddenly stopped high in the sky.

The dark clouds covering the sky quickly faded away at an incomprehensible speed, revealing the silver moon inside that had returned to its original color.

"Hoo"

"Hoo"

"Fortunately, I am used to the 4.2-meter floor height of Underground Shelter, so I changed the cab to this height, otherwise, now"

Looking at the rainwater below him that was almost covering the 3m high-speed rail frame, Su Mo took two deep breaths with lingering fear.

Who would have thought that the way disaster strikes would be so outrageous.

It's like a huge channel has been opened in the sky, with wasteland below and ocean above.

The moment the passage opened, everything in the ocean except the living things began to pour down, and the formation was terrifying.

And without knowing this news, let alone ordinary people's ships, even the extremely powerful Hope's durability dropped by more than 20,000 points, directly falling below 10,000.

If this rainstorm continues for twenty seconds, with the strength of the Hope, even if it is not smashed to pieces and a hole is completely punched through the ship's deck, the main structure will definitely be destroyed by the all-round impact and be on the verge of falling apart.

And even in the current situation, if there were no variables, Land Alien Race would not need to plan.

After this fifteen-minute rainstorm, the number of humans was absolutely impossible to survive.

I thought as I waited for the water level to drop.

The Hope's drainage capacity is not bad. In the absence of heavy rain, after just three or four minutes of waiting, the rainwater in the cockpit has already dropped to two meters, and is still falling at a considerable speed.

With the help of the porthole that was blown open by the rain, the bright moonlight came in, allowing Su Mo to vaguely see the blood stains on his face.

"No, we must go out quickly to repair the damage to the Hope, otherwise this injury will be in vain!"

"Let's characterize this heavy rain attack as a critical test for the Hope and simulate how to deal with such a situation at sea!"

As the height of the rainwater continued to decrease, it gradually dropped from the neck to the waist, and then to the legs, just like walking out of a swimming pool.

Without buoyancy, Su Mo felt like he was carrying a heavy weight with every step he took.

Moreover, this feeling is now coupled with a bit of soreness and pain from internal injuries caused by the shock and impact, which is simply wonderful.

But at this time, I don't have to worry about so much!

I don't dare to compete in the simulation world, let alone the real world! Adhering to the philosophy that as long as you can't die, work hard to death, and in the worst case, you can just quit if you can't hold on any longer.

After the raindrops under him reached his calves, Su Mo struggled to drain the water, opened the iron door of the cab, and strode out.

Wow! Without the obstruction of the iron door, the water in the cab overflowed a little faster.

At the same time, it was better not to go out. Once out, after seeing the current situation of the Hope, Su Mo couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Hiss"

"Good guy, with the strength and thickness of the steel plate of the Hope, even a cannon bombardment can't produce such an effect!"

In the moonlight, it extends from the wheelhouse to the bow of the ship.

Almost everything that could be seen with the naked eye was in shambles.

The neatly painted deck lines are gone!

Instead, there were black holes the size of a car, all over Main Deck, directly revealing the dormitories where the crew lived below.

But this was not over yet. After carefully walking to the black hole, Su Mo was shocked to find that not only was Main Deck penetrated, but also the floor of the second-floor dormitory was also penetrated with large holes, which were connected to the warehouse.

Most of the supplies that had been moved in before were already soaked in the water, "swimming" happily as the Hope shook slightly.

Even in the water, Su Mo saw some parts of Fire Control Radar mixed in, obviously beaten to pieces and not even given a chance to repair! "Fuck!"

"If Heaven Stealing Secret hadn't investigated this disaster, I would have been happily planning to sail the Hope out to sea to fight."

"As a result, as soon as the rain came, before even entering the sea, in front of everyone, the ship was on the verge of disintegration, and my mentality exploded!"

Being in a simulated environment and seeing the miserable scene of the Hope, Su Mo didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

However, after walking around for a while, Su Mo had some ideas on how to protect himself from the heavy rain.

"Actually, the heavy rain that almost destroyed the Hope was difficult to prevent, but it wasn't that difficult at all. I just needed to build a boathouse to block it."

"We can even add some impact-mitigating devices and materials above the boathouse. When the rain stops, we can just drive out of the boathouse."

"And paired with the reverse method, the Hope can be easily driven out of the boathouse!"

The sea level has now risen to a height of just over two meters after eighteen minutes of brewing.

Judging from the current rate of increase, it only takes another twenty minutes or so to reach four to five meters.

Once the sea level exceeds five meters, it is possible for the Hope to go to sea.

Yes!

Although the Hope is currently in such a miserable condition, Su Mo decided to go to sea to try without fear of death.

At the very least, before withdrawing, the Hope will not collapse for a moment, and Su Mo intends to persist and complete all the tests in the planned plan.

Because it was a simulation, Su Mo did not intend to clean up the water on the second and third floors, after throwing all the debris on the deck down the holes.

Su Mo is back to the place where dreams started! At this time, after five minutes of drainage, although the cockpit was slippery, there was finally no water left to settle.

Stepping on the slippery ground, after opening the secret door to Engine Room, Su Mo slid all the way down the stairs.

"Fortunately, the steel plate of Engine Room is thick, and it is on the bottom of the ship. It is safe here and there is no damage."

The secret door in the cab was originally made to be concealed and protected against water seepage, so not only were the stairs dry, but even Engine Room showed no signs of having withstood the impact of Waterfall Rainstorm.

Although there is no power supply, Material Conversion Engine, which emits dark blue light, is still working quietly.

Until the one liter of Psionic Water added to Su Mo is used up, this powerful engine will always provide stable energy output to the entire ship.

I tried to switch to pumping water supply. As the water pump warmed up for a minute, I found that this method was no problem. As for the power, Su Mo was completely relieved.

"No child cries every day, no dog loses every day!"

"I don't believe it. Since it's already so miserable, how can it be even worse!"

The top of the Hope is in tatters, the radar has been lost, and Captain's Cabin has also become a mess, but the bottom of the ship and the engine are still strong!

As long as the power supply to the entire boat can be restored, it is entirely possible to take it out for a ride!

"Let me think about it, when the supplies were put on the ship before, I should have ordered Chen Shen to reserve some spare supplies in Damage Control Storage!"

Storage Space could not be opened, and Su Mo was not in a hurry. After returning to the first floor through the stairs, he successfully followed the big hole all the way to the leaking warehouse.

The supplies used to repair the Hope are marked with yellow exclamation marks, and waterproof canvases are hung on them, making them easy to find.

With almost no effort, Su Mo successfully obtained a series of tools for repairing electricity.

"This is bullying me. The system cannot be used in Talisman Paper World"

"If this were a wasteland, I would only need to have a storage of 5,000 points. Repairing these damaged equipment would not be a problem at all. Why would we need to be in such a mess now!"

In the "ghost pressure" stage that was entered before, the system can exhale.

But at this stage, the system didn't know whether it was blocked or just too lazy to come out. No matter how Su Mo called, there was no movement.

But once the tools were obtained, there wasn't much that needed to be repaired since the Hope's power transmission cables were all in steel plates.

Even without the help of a machinist, Su Mo successfully completed the "temporary" repair of the damage stage after some exploration.

The longest of these temporary repairs can only last three to five days, and the shortest of them will even break down in one or two days, but it is enough to cope with the current situation!

Hiss. Bah! As the main switch was opened again, under the expectant eyes of Su Mo, the entire energy line first slowly performed a wave of self-checks, and then successfully stabilized with a perfect posture! As the voltage and power were restored, the spotlights that had been temporarily cut off began to slowly light up.

"Hey, three of the eight spotlights can still survive, not bad, not bad."

Seeing the light outside the deck, enjoying the misery, Su Mo laughed loudly, and the depression of the previous disaster was swept away.

After all the hardships, we finally got through it, right? Compared to the waterfall-like torrential rain, the difficulty of getting into the sea is nothing! After turning around and pushing all the water on the dashboard to the ground, Su Mo climbed up with the help of the iron frame, successfully took down the monitor that had been thrown up before, and also restarted the system.

At present, the entire Hope is in a "blind state". There is no terrain scanning by Fire Control Radar, and there is no camera to transmit screen analysis data.

In addition to the four Obstacle Avoidance Radar mounted on the front, rear, left and right of the ship, it can also perform terrain detection 50 meters near the Hope, providing some insignificant data help.

If you want to go to the sea, you must switch to manual gear. Su Mo will judge the opening time of each point based on the data and actual conditions! "The water depth on the left side of the Hope is now 3.84 meters, and on the right side is 3.15 meters. The difference is nearly 0.7 meters. The situation is a bit bad, but it is still acceptable for now!"

"Gonggong, when the water depth on the left is 4.14 meters, start the descent track immediately!"
