Cards were flying all over the sky, driven by the golden-red Hope, dyeing the entire Void Space with the color of the rising sun.

Staring at countless cards with the same pattern on the back, after flipping through four cards in a row and finding that they were all junk attributes, Su Mo quickly stopped and sat on the ground.

Since ancient times, ship-borne weapons have been far more powerful than most of the army's weapons.

As early as Napoleonic Wars and Napoleon were still praising the power and accuracy of the 12-pound gun, the naval guns on a regular naval ship were already covered with various 24-pound and 36-pound guns.

The same 155 gun: the navy can achieve a larger diameter (long range, high power)

Faster reloading (automatic ammunition feeder) Better maneuverability (warships can run faster than cars at full speed)

Better protection (Field Gun does not have a turret), not to mention that the battleship has monster calibers such as 203, 406, and 460.

So after clarifying the types of weapons that Hope currently needs most, Su Mo is full of expectations from head to toe as to whether he can get a cannon in the lottery.

"The thing I need to draw now must be related to weapons."

"As long as it's a weapon of mass destruction, it's fine, but it's best if it's technology-oriented, so that I can better distribute ammunition."

"If it is a mysterious weapon, you must carefully consider whether it has the ability to continue fighting!"

To deal with stragglers like the aliens, even if they pull out a Dongfeng Missile, there is actually no cannon that can be used.

In this card drawing, the system will give you a free card drawing opportunity, and you can choose any one of all the cards to be added to the waiting list.

Moreover, unlike games, the system's rewards are very user-friendly and are genuine benefits.

If you choose to spend 1000 points to draw again, the previous cards will not disappear, but will enter the alternative area.

For example, Su Mo is drawn once for free, and if you spend 5000 points to draw five times, you will get six cards.

At that time, if you do not continue to draw, you can choose one of these six cards as a reward.

Of course, you don't have to choose. At most, you will lose 5,000 points in a lottery. If you quit and choose 50,000 points again, you can stop the loss.

"No matter what you can draw, plus the gift from the system, let's draw six times first."

"At that time, if the thing you drew is really bad, or if you are not lucky today, go back and choose 50,000 points immediately."

The first lottery was free. Because he knew he still had a chance, Su Mo didn't panic. He sat on the ground and waited until his heart calmed down, then expressed his wish for the lottery into the void.

In an instant, the Hope hanging high in the air slowly disappeared, and was replaced by countless golden-red illusory cards that began to fly quickly in front of the eyes.

Every second, thousands of cards fly past like running water, rushing towards the end of the void.

Very casually, looking at the cards that could be touched by reaching out, Su Mo casually pulled out one.

As this card was drawn out, the other flying cards slowly stopped, and just like before, the Hope emerged again.

"Let me see what good stuff I can get with this first shot."

With anticipation, imitating the way he drew Dongfeng-17 before, Su Mo first opened a small corner of the card and looked at it.

"Huh? Yes, there is the sea!"

In the upper right corner of the card, you can see the bright waves, which at least confirms that the ship is sailing on the sea, not in a river or creek.

A ship that can travel in the sea has some powerful attributes, so Su Mo no longer hesitated and opened the entire card.

The light flashed, and as the card turned over, an attribute panel popped out.

[Strong Fishing Boat]

[Description]: A large tonnage fishing and chilled ship with strong fishing attributes and strong refrigeration attributes.

[Additional attributes]: You can choose the following two attributes to add: 1. Powerful fishing net: Every 3 natural days, the fishing net can be activated once. After activation, aquatic creatures within a range of 500 meters will be attracted and automatically move to the wind range of the fishing net (please note that it takes 15 natural days to recover after the fishing net is damaged)

2. Chilled: After selection, a chilled area can be generated within the hull, and the spoilage rate of all materials placed there is fixed at -50%.

[Evaluation]: If you don't open for three days, you will eat for three years if you open!

"Hey, this attribute is quite practical. The range is actually 500 meters, and if the fishing net is broken, it can be repaired by itself."

"What a pity, my goal this time is weapons!"

To be fair, the attributes of this Fishing Boat are definitely an artifact for ordinary people to accumulate resources.

As long as you find the right spot on the sea, drop the net and catch dozens of tons of fish, it won't be a problem.

Moreover, these fish can not only replenish daily necessities, but the excess can also be traded, which can be called a small bug in resource development.

But for Su Mo, who is in urgent need of weapons and has a large stock of food, it is a bit useless.

Shaking his head regretfully, looking at the cards floating in front of him, Su Mo put them aside and continued to choose to spend points to draw.

Adhering to the principle of single-drawing miracles, as the 1,000 points slowly disappeared, the card pile began to fly again.

This time, there was no random draw. After recalling the point where Dongfeng-17 had been drawn, Su Mo reached out seemingly slowly, but suddenly pulled out when he got close.

A card tried to slip through the fingers, but it couldn't escape and was caught by Su Mo.

"Good guy, this one stroke is equivalent to a day's work for me, so I have to work harder!"

Being familiar with the road, this time Su Mo did not choose to turn over from the upper right corner, but slowly turned up from the lower left corner.

"The taste is right, very right, it's still the sea!"

"Grass is steel, it's a modern warship!"

Before drawing, Su Mo made preparations for not being able to draw a modern warship these six times.

After all, the system's lottery scope is too broad, and anything related to boats will be included, even small paper boats.

But now, seeing that he had drawn a modern warship in his second shot, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of fate.

"Fortunately, I didn't directly choose 50,000 points before. This warship is not simple!"

After turning over the entire card and taking a look at the overall appearance, Su Mo was shocked and immediately looked at the card attributes.

[Fletcher-class Destroyer]

[Description]: Known as the king of air defense in World War II, the Bofors 40mm Anti-Aircraft Gun and Oerlikon 20mm Cannon with excellent performance are used as standard air defense weapon configurations. They can organize dense barrages at medium and short distances, destroy or drive away incoming enemy aircraft, and ensure absolute air supremacy. In addition, the Mk-12 127mm high-level and flat dual-purpose naval gun is used as the main gun, which can fire anti-aircraft shells equipped with radio proximity fuzes. Together with the 40mm gun and 20mm gun, it forms three layers of far, medium and near air defense firepower.

[Additional Attributes]: You can choose the following two attributes and characteristics to add: 1.40MM Anti-Aircraft Gun+20mm machine gun combination: Automatically comes with bullet manufacturing drawings

2. Mk-12 127 mm high-level dual-purpose naval gun: automatically comes with a naval gun maintenance manual

[Evaluation]: Can you count on him to sail across the ocean? "Sure enough, it's this damn thing, America, the masterpiece of the early destroyers!"

Rubbing his chin and looking at the attributes on the card, Su Mo fell into deep thought.

As the most famous destroyer model that America started designing in the late 1930s, and was the most famous during World War II, the Fletcher class produced a total of 175 ships in two years! And this number also represents how reliable the ship is.

It is equipped with five 127mm high-level dual-purpose naval guns, code-named MK-12. It can transport ammunition through two closed pipelines. It is driven by electricity and semi-automatically controlled. It can provide ammunition to the turret at a speed of 24-30 rounds per minute. It is also equipped with an automatic fuze setting device, which can complete the fuze setting before the shell is sent into the turret. It is very powerful.

Paired with the Hope, even just one door is enough to increase the firepower of the entire ship to a new level! "It's a pity. This MK-12 anti-aircraft gun is used for air defense. It is not practical for surface combat and sea combat."

"Even if you choose this cannon, it is better to choose this anti-aircraft gun, which was recognized as the best during World War II!"

I drew a warship and a cannon, but I drew such a useless thing, which made Su Mo feel a little troubled.

The MK-12 requires five people to work together to design a semi-automatic design. This is not a big problem, and a machinist can do the job.

But compared with the cannons of the same period, this Mk-12 is not good enough in terms of power, rate of fire, or stability!

"Keep pumping? Or save Survival Points and find a way to upgrade the Mk-12?"

If it was the last time to draw this thing, Su Mo would choose to take it without hesitation, but he won it twice, which made Su Mo have a little fantasy.

Should we stop the loss or continue to draw the five times that we have set?

After a few seconds of hesitation, I glanced at Survival Points, which still had 23,000 points, and looked at the golden-red Hope floating in the air.

I don't know why, but Su Mo has a mysterious feeling that Hope is talking to him.

He is telling himself that there is a card in the deck that suits him, and it will come out soon! The ship is talking.

At first glance, it seems like my own greed is at work.

But after repeatedly questioning his heart and discovering that this feeling was indeed not groundless, Su Mo took a long breath and said silently to the void.

"System, continue extracting!"

Throw the Fletcher-class Destroyer card next to the previous Fishing Boat.

This time, facing the flying card pile and looking at Dongfeng's position, Su Mo did not hesitate and took action three times in a row.

The first one has no feel.

The second picture also has no feel, and 2000 disappears!

Even in the third picture, that mysterious feeling has not yet arrived.

Survival Points in the lower right corner has moved 3000 points like water at this time.

But looking at the pile of flying cards and feeling the strong call of Hope to him, Su Mo gritted his teeth and took out the fourth card again! No!

The fifth one! No!

The set bottom line was breached, Survival Points had plummeted to 18,000 points, and a full 6,000 points disappeared into nothingness.

This kind of gambler's madness made Su Mo's eyes turn red, and the bloodshot eyes inside exploded.

Six thousand points, a full week's accumulation, disappeared in less than three seconds.

This is simply a great torture for a Squirrel Party.

But the feeling conveyed by the Hope is still calling strongly, and the calling voice is getting louder and louder!

It seems that in the next second, the card that Nozomi longs for will appear.

"No matter, since this lottery is related to the Hope, then I will follow this feeling. Even if I finish all the draws, I will not regret it!"

Gritting his teeth and looking at the still endless pile of cards, Su Mo continued to stretch out his hand for the sixth card, no!

The seventh one, no!

The eighth picture, the ninth picture, the tenth picture, etc., this feeling! Seeing that Survival Points only had 13,000 points left, just when Su Mo numbly took out one card and was about to continue reaching out, his feeling changed!

The tenth card suddenly burst into golden light the moment it was taken out of the deck.

And even the lottery page was forcibly stopped, causing all the cards to stop rotating rapidly.

The Hope, hidden in the void, rushed out as if it had broken through a barrier.

One ship, one card.

It's as if there are invisible chains tied together, making the breathing frequency of the light become the same.

It's as if the ship on this card and the Hope come from the same source, and the two are like brothers.

"Damn, eleven thousand points, did you really let me gamble?"

Feeling the undisguised longing in her heart.

Looking at the radiance of only the last of these twelve cards, Su Mo's face showed a hint of astonishment as he had no time to react.

Eleven thousand points, under such huge pressure, Su Mo felt like his back was wet with cold sweat, even if he was in the system space.

"I won't bet anymore, and I won't bet again in the future!"

At this time, after repeatedly confirming that this was not a fake, Su Mo sat down weakly, feeling as if his whole body had been drained.

This feeling of being a gambler is certainly very satisfying when you win the bet.

But who knows, what will happen if these Survival Points are spent and haven't been gambled out yet! Instead of continuing to turn over the cards slowly, after taking two deep breaths and feeling his beating heart, Su Mo revealed the entire card.

Familiar taste.

A familiar recipe.

Although this is the first time I have seen the ship on the card, in my dream, Su Mo has been on board the ship more than once.

From his naval guns, to his missile launches.

From his air power, to his underwater defenses.

The battleship on the card is no stranger. It is the first-class destroyer with the highest level in the destroyer family within the scope defined by the game!
