Sun Chasing Yacht, Might Makes Right!
As the game notification sounded, Su Mo's expression became quite peculiar when a celebratory screen appeared, featuring a purple background with gold trim and subtle textural changes.
As a seasoned disaster relief worker at the forefront of human endeavors, this was only the second time he had seen this thing.
To trace back to the first time, we need to Timeline directly to two months ago, the day before the newbie disaster, acid rain, struck.
That time, the Underground Shelter was upgraded to stone and had a complete drainage system, which the game recognized as giving it a greater than 99% chance of surviving the disaster.
Since that incident, the warning sound has disappeared as if it never came again during subsequent blizzards, Welfare Disaster, or even the arrival of the ocean.
Now, thanks to the introduction of the Intermediate Machine Tool, a bugged item that doesn't belong to this stage, things have changed!
The Hope ship is not 99% certain of surviving this tsunami disaster, but the intermediate machine tool is.
"Compared to the first lottery, this one now has an 'intermediate' prefix."
"Let me see what good stuff is inside!"
Driven by curiosity, Su Mo made a mental effort and used his mind to confirm the recording.
Then, a colorful roulette wheel, almost identical to those in the previous draws, appeared, its reflection shimmering in the warehouse.
Unlike the prize items that popped up during the last lottery, this time there is another area on the roulette wheel.
Looking closely, the current roulette wheel is divided into seven areas: pets, blueprints, tools, props, resources, extraordinary blessings, and vehicles. As time goes by and the current situation is matched, the game is also constantly updating the items that can be obtained from the lottery.
After briefly clicking on a few areas of the roulette wheel to check out the general prizes, Su Mo immediately pressed the draw button without hesitation.
Today, compared to the prizes from the first draw, the rarity of the items in the roulette wheel has increased significantly.
However, there is no prize comparable to the Hope Ship, the Intermediate Machine Tool, the Vertical Launch Module, or the Shan Hai Painting Card.
Among all the prizes, the Extraordinary Blessing category offers the strongest boost, with a mere 0.00004% chance of drawing the worst blessing, while the probability of drawing the best blessing is even more outrageous.
There are more than thirty zeros in front of the number 1, which is dazzling.
Looking at the extra vehicle lottery slots, the best item there is only a high-quality speedboat.
Even so, the probability of winning is only 0.006%!
"At this stage, this kind of reward is fine for ordinary people; whatever they draw will increase their chances of survival."
"But for me, most things can't even be considered icing on the cake anymore!"
Smiling, Soma watched the pointer gradually slow down, skipping over the item of extraordinary blessing. Su Mo was not annoyed and quietly waited for it to stop.
As they waited, Su Mo's expression gradually became strange.
There's no other reason than that it's as if the game sensed his thoughts.
The pointer gradually swept across all areas and finally stopped at the newly appeared vehicle block.
When it came to the vehicle block, the pointer seemed to encounter tremendous resistance, making it very difficult to move forward.
But in just a few dozen seconds, relying on the last bit of power to move, it finally bypassed the junk vehicle reward ahead and stopped on the highest reward of the vehicle module!
[Record]: Congratulations to player Su Mo for winning the grand prize vehicle: "Transoceanic Speedboat (Excellent)"*1 [Record]: Player Su Mo has won the grand prize for the first time; the game will automatically grant you one upgrade opportunity.
[Record]: Congratulations player Su Mo! Your vehicle grand prize, "Transoceanic Speedboat (Excellent)," has been automatically upgraded to "Grand Transport Speedboat (Rare)."
[Record]: Player Su Mo has obtained a rare item in the game's lottery for the first time and has automatically been granted one upgrade opportunity.
[Record]: Congratulations player Su Mo! Your vehicle grand prize, "Grand Transport Speedboat (Rare)," has been automatically upgraded to "Sun Chasing Yacht (Epic)."
???
"Good heavens, you've got it right here!"
The game seems to be playing a game of nested dolls, upgrading a speedboat that was originally only at the "fine" level and not worth mentioning all the way to the "epic" level.
An unexpected look of joy appeared on Su Mo's face!
"I never expected that such an ordinary lottery would yield an epic item."
"Although I have the Hope right now, I won't need the speedboat for the time being, but it can come in handy and be surprisingly effective in a critical moment!"
Upon seeing the confirmed reward, Su Mo clicked his tongue in amazement and then clicked on the lottery panel to jump to the next page.
However, when the game asked if he wanted to claim the speedboat, after checking its attributes, Su Mo didn't rush to claim it.
This speedboat, named Sun Chaser, doesn't currently display the special abilities bestowed upon it by the epic rank.
However, its basic attributes state that the speedboat is 15 meters long and nearly 4 meters wide.
It is also nearly six meters tall, which would be considered a luxury speedboat even on Earth.
Given the Hope's storage capacity, storing such a large vessel should not be a problem.
But if we release it now, we'll face the problem of how to get it out of the warehouse if we want to use it later.
"The large items you draw can be stored in the Game Panel for thirty days, which is quite user-friendly!"
"Then let's keep it for now!"
Su Mo glanced enviously at the Sun Chasing Yacht in the game's reward panel, but then quickly closed the Game Panel and refocused his attention, remembering the upcoming battle.
Currently, considering the Evil God behind the Five Great Royal Clans, it is certain that five R-3 Ballistic Missile will be produced.
The materials used in these ballistic missiles, from the heat-insulating shell to the Energy Warhead and the Small Airborne Engine at the tail, are all gifts from the fertile land of Fertile Soil Ocean God.
Even the most basic materials are of excellent quality and superior performance.
With the machine tool manufactured strictly according to the standards of the drawings, there will absolutely be no problems.
However, the strength of a missile lies not only in these basic materials, but also in the explosives packed in its warhead.
However, the Fertile Soil Ocean God, so Su Mo had to figure out a way to get them himself.
"There are still quite a few raw materials on board the Hope. With a workbench available, we can continue to prepare explosives."
"But if we want to maximize the power of every missile, we'll have to dismantle some shells that Destruction Main Cannon!"
After adjusting the menus on the intermediate-level machine tool and making some selections, Su Mo gradually became familiar with using the machine tool.
Unlike micro machine tools, now that they have been upgraded to medium size, the entire machine tool itself has acquired some "unique features" that cannot be explained by modern technology.
Even the R-3 Ballistic Missile, once provided with sufficient materials, can be formed in one go by machine tools and stored in its own output area.
The Hope lacked both the resources and the capability to equip the R-3 Ballistic Missile with a nuclear warhead.
Therefore, after putting in the basic materials for five missiles, the only way left for Su Mo to meet the final requirements of the missiles was to use a powerful brick-like design!
Use more TnT enhanced by Psionic Water to increase the lethality of the warhead, trying to make up for the quality gap with quantity.
Even if the Evil God of the Five Great Royal Clans are stronger than the Tengu Pseudo-God, they can still be strengthened by consuming Survival Points through the system.
Having clarified his plan, Su Mo immediately stopped hesitating and quickly returned to the place where the cannonballs were stored, calling on the alien soldiers to begin "defusing the bombs".
The alien soldiers found this kind of physical labor quite enjoyable.
Aside from Moore's constant protests, it only took four hours for the 500 shells to be disassembled, and the explosives inside were transported to the machine tool's material area.
Compared to missiles from the civilized era, this one is superior due to the addition of a rare-class onboard engine and the attribute bonuses from the Vertical Launch Module.
The R-3 will have a greater load capacity and more powerful engine.
Based on current data, future missiles are projected to have a launch weight of 69.8 tons and a payload of a staggering 6.6 tons! But that's still not enough!
As a Chinese person with a fear of firepower ingrained in his DNA, Su Mo was not idle while the other races were busy.
On the workbench, four mechanics were already at work, continuing to manufacture TNT in waves according to the process.
In terms of raw materials, Su Mo made no attempt to save money. After planning the explosives for Rocket Propelled Grenades, the rest were basically used for R-3 missiles.
Even with the Psionic Water, Su Mo didn't hold back at all, maxing it out! With such a boost, although it's still worlds apart from a nuclear bomb of the same weight, it's still incredibly powerful.
However, it is much more powerful than the Dongfeng-17, which was equipped with conventional warheads! With such preparations, the panel of the intermediate machine tool finally showed that five missiles would take 48 hours to manufacture, and the manufacturing process would begin.
Hearing Gonggong announce the time at 7 PM, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the Main Deck.
By this time, the sky outside had gradually darkened, and the sun had set below the horizon.
Because the moon had not yet fully risen, the entire wasteland ocean appeared deep and terrifying, except for the sound of the waves crashing.
But no matter how the external environment changes, Su Mo knows that from now on, all humans, no matter where they are in the wasteland ocean, will enter the final sprint.
Moreover, this sprint of preparation will not last long, with only 55 hours left!
