Three Developments, Civilization's Arduous Advance!
"These attributes truly make it worthy of being an epic item; it deserves it from every angle!"
"Even though the Magic Carpet has lost its epic record and the last proxy genie's abilities are locked, it is still an absolute treasure!"
Stroking the smooth material of the magic carpet and looking at the attributes displayed in the game, Su Mo was increasingly delighted and couldn't wait to go out and fly! Twenty meters per second, its speed was equivalent to 72 kilometers per hour.
Based on a five-minute flight time, excluding the initial takeoff and final landing, it is enough to fly five kilometers away.
With the help of this magic carpet, even if he is in a dangerous predicament, Su Mo can escape unharmed.
Sense of security +10000!
However, considering that it was still daytime and the people from the Tundra Fleet were still watching, Su Mo did not plan to go out for a stroll immediately, but instead tried to shrink the magic carpet.
With a thought, the magic carpet, originally 3 meters square, began to shrink rapidly, eventually turning into a handkerchief about 30 centimeters in size, which rested on the ground.
Even as Su Mo's thoughts were transmitted a second time, the Divine Light on the surface of the magic carpet began to fade, quickly returning to its previous worn and tattered state, showing no signs of abnormality.
"Tsk, this thing is amazing. I hope I can figure out how it works and see if we can mass-produce a batch."
He picked up the cushion, drew back the curtains of the Captain's Cabin, and watched the magic carpet emit a breathing light as it came into contact with the sunlight. Su Mo sat down in the seat with satisfaction.
Of the hundreds of Gold Treasure Chest, the Da Tou has already been taken, but the other supplies that have filled nearly half of the Captain's Cabin should not be underestimated.
With more than two hours left before the system update ended, Su Mo was not in a hurry.
One by one, he picked up the items on the ground, counted them, labeled them, and placed them aside.
I don't know if it's because the magic carpet drained the luck from the treasure chest, or because the game is about to be updated to Real Survival Version.
This time, the hundreds of Gold Treasure Chest did not contain any rare items that were of great use.
Even the special effects equipment that used to be available in large quantities has been drastically reduced this time, with only three pieces available out of hundreds of boxes!
But to Su Mo's delight, a total of seventeen resource-related cards were drawn!
in:
Eight Level 1 Random Resource Card.
Three Level 2 Random Resource Card.
Resource Storage Recovery Card, two.
Resource Modification Card (Design: Level 1), one card.
Resource Modification Card (Material: Level 1), one card.
Resource Upgrade Card (Star Rating: Half Star), one card.
And most importantly, and most precious of all, a Three-Star Random Resource Card! These cards basically form the cornerstone of the future development of the low-lying area, allowing people to survive on resources for a long time after relocation.
As for the Weapon Manifestation Card that were opened before, they made a fortune this time.
in:
Weapon Manifestation Card, Nine Vehicle Manifestation Card, Eleven
Daily Necessities Manifestation Card, 22 cards
Technological Item Manifestation Card, 17 cards
Clothing Manifestation Card: These eight cards, which have a certain probability of manifesting depending on the rarity of the item, seem to be coming out in large quantities, like a bountiful harvest.
Unfortunately, the drop rates for items like weapons, defenses, and technological supplies are extremely low, basically equivalent to the game giving away scratch cards as a consolation prize when there are no free items.
Leaving aside high-precision equipment like Lithography Machine and colliders, the probability of even realizing a regular computer is only 3%.
Considering that an epic magic carpet has already been gambled on today.
Su Mo didn't pay much attention to these cards that involved gambling on luck; he simply noted them down and then put them into his Storage Space.
"It seems that the help from the boxes is not as substantial as that from the ruins."
"These items can only solve the immediate problem; they're not really reliable for developing a base."
"Once we get to the New Continent, we must make sure to search the former Yan Country ruins as much as possible. If we can find a lot of basic production equipment inside, we'll definitely earn more than opening hundreds or thousands of boxes!"
After gathering all the items, Su Mo looked at the various miscellaneous items recorded on the paper and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Adding points to the Technology Tree is a seemingly simple but actually profound subject.
For example, the aliens in Liu Cixin's novel "The Mountain" have mastered electromagnetic conversion and Ohm's law since primitive times, but they have not mastered the use of fire even in modern times.
The aliens in "Otherworld" possess hyperspace travel capabilities, yet they can't even build an iron spaceship.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Su Mo knew what the base lacked most right now.
But he also deeply understands how difficult it would be to make up for what is missing.
The instruction manuals and manufacturing blueprints for truly high-tech products alone can be measured in tons.
The prerequisites for mastering a discipline may require decades of dedicated study.
Both human formulas and human scientific research efficiency are too dependent on time t!
In the wasteland, there isn't much time for humanity to develop and rebuild.
That's why those "predecessors" who once struggled to survive in the wasteland took so many risky and unconventional steps.
Without the system, even if Su Mo had worked his way up to where he is now, he would most likely have followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and gone on to research unconventional technologies.
For example, by lifting ethical restrictions and venturing headlong into the field of bioscience, cloning, genetic engineering, and prosthetics can be taken to great heights.
Regardless of cost or bottom line, they push cloning technology to its limits and use massive troop production to sweep across other races in this world.
Then, they used sheer numbers to overwhelm the world, like locusts crawling all over every corner of it, sucking its blood and feeding back into the development of other Technology Tree! Unfortunately, this approach was an extremely radical one.
One wrong move, and before success is even achieved, Su Mo, the instigator, could be overthrown by his subordinates, ending up dead before his mission even begins! "Just waiting for the system!"
"I hope that the billion-level functionality will indeed be upgraded and applied to other places, just as I predicted. Otherwise, it will be almost impossible for humanity to rebuild civilization in this world!"
"Under natural disasters, think about the extreme and terrifying weather of minus 100 degrees Celsius or 120 degrees Celsius, or the devastating catastrophes of volcanic eruptions or asteroid impacts."
"If we cannot advance our civilization's Technology Tree to a certain level, even hiding underground will not provide any chance of survival!"
After putting everything back in its place and sitting down at the table, Su Mo's thoughts slowly drifted away, beginning to wander along the "Timeline" of the future.
To other humans, this Su God is an incomprehensible "bottomless pit".
But only Su Mo himself knew that Hope Village's technological level was so low that it was difficult to even forge a decent piece of ironware.
Once the Real Survival Version is released, it won't be possible without the talent from this raid on the Tundra Fleet.
Even if they went to the New Continent, the village's development would plummet after the initial benefits.
At that time, the inability to see development or the future will be far more terrifying than simply struggling to survive.
Peeling away the fog that obscured the road ahead, Su Mo sometimes frowned, and sometimes wrote furiously.
On the blank sheet of paper, several major directions began to slowly emerge: First, the mechanical aspect! Humanity's desire to improve its productivity is definitely not through universal martial arts training or seeking ways to enhance the physical fitness of the entire population.
Taking strength as an example, a trained person can generally lift about 100 pounds, and this weight will gradually decrease as physical strength is consumed.
On the other hand, a medium-sized excavator can typically lift more than 30,000 kilograms! That's a difference of 300 times!
Don't underestimate this difference.
It's important to understand that training someone requires considering both time and resource costs.
To some extent, we also have to consider human nature's flaws, such as whether people will slack off or skip training.
However, under the same conditions, mechanical products are different. As long as there are enough resources, the most basic production line can be set up and manufactured.
For a long period of time to come, they will be able to provide tireless strength, turning everyone into a 30,000-pound Lishi! At that time, the base's development speed will enter an unprecedented new level, and the depression will be completely transformed in just a few days.
Secondly, in terms of medical care! The human body is still too fragile. Even with the presence of Psionic Water, Su Mo himself did not experience any illness during the nearly three months in the wasteland.
But in other parts of the wasteland, the number of humans who die from disease or injury is a terrifying one-fifth!
Without medication and adequate medical care, even a minor injury can lead to infection, inflammation, and death in humans.
One serious injury meant that the person had entered the final countdown to death.
Therefore, considering that the Psionic Water will also be used in other places and cannot be used unconditionally to treat injuries, the medical field must be developed quickly and rapidly.
Even when using these mysterious medical devices whose principles are unknown in the early stages, it is essential to ensure the stability of the human body.
As for the third one, he looked at the two plans he had drawn up and glanced at the survivors who were slumped on the raft outside.
After some thought, Su Mo finally decided to include bioengineering.
In some ways, this is a development path that is almost taboo.
If not handled properly, it could cause a huge backlash, rendering all previous efforts futile.
However, this is the only area in which human civilization has remained stagnant for so many years, and it has enormous potential for development.
With a little research, it is very likely that it could bring unimaginable benefits and reverse the current downward trend.
However, after some thought, Su Mo drew and listed two small goals.
First, we need to study how to improve Human-Machine interaction.
Rashly integrating genes from other races and arbitrarily altering the DNA chain of humans would be a losing proposition.
Humanity's ultimate destiny is to unite with the machines that bring it unparalleled productivity.
Like Iron Man Tony Stark, he combines technology and biological power to the extreme, making mortals comparable to Gods.
If standardized armor could be achieved, humanity's strength would be no weaker than that of any other race.
Second, we need to study how to better improve adaptability.
Humans are incredibly adaptable when faced with gradual changes, like a frog being slowly boiled in water, but they are pitifully weak when faced with extreme environments.
If every ordinary person could be transformed into the physique of those mobs in the Frostpunk Era who could sleep on the ground at minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius without fear of the cold.
The entire base, including the development of the race, will usher in an epic new chapter! In a short while, a blank sheet of paper was filled with writing by Su Mo, filled with artistic text.
But he didn't stop. Instead, he pulled out several more sheets from under the table and continued to delve into the research, following the general direction outlined.
While those fragmented memories on Earth are still fresh.
Regardless of whether what he wrote was right or wrong, Su Mo kept filling it with all the miscellaneous knowledge he had seen in the library.
Time, too, flowed by slowly in this way.
He continued writing until the sun began to set again from high in the sky. After blowing away the ink on the paper, Su Mo carefully stored all the materials in his Storage Space.
The next second, as the rudimentary System Panel unfolded, the update time marked on it showed only four minutes left!
