Leaving, the Hidden Benefits of Being a Divine Envoy!
In the wasteland, you can do a lot in a day.
Without electronic devices to kill time, the day seems to stretch out considerably, and there's more and more time available.
Send off the Tundra Fleet, develop new vehicles, copy the Gong Gong System, and install the screen analysis system.
After all this was done, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.
At this moment, the sun was still high in the sky.
After overcoming the initial difficulties of accumulating power, the Sun Chasing Yacht's battery level gradually increased, reaching a gratifying 16%!
According to Gonggong's actual measurements and calculations, this 16% could actually travel at a cruising speed of 40 knots for four hours on the open sea.
In other words, the battery power will not decrease during the flight, but will continue to increase, which is an amazing Black Technology!
After confirming that the camera was properly adjusted, Su Mo boarded the Hope once again.
This time, however, he didn't pack his things. Instead, he sat in the conference room, pressed the Bluetooth Headset, and summoned the ship's senior management.
Zhang Long and Liu Neng were the two bosuns in charge of the crew's daily life and discipline.
Connie, Moore, the two leading participants in the alien training, and the first Third Mate responsible for the ship's security.
Oreo is the only "crew member" Su Mo will bring on this trip.
Su Chan, and Shen Ke, who was responsible for secretly protecting her.
Although Su Mo wanted to leave lightly, with the "Su Mo Group" growing in size, he actually had many "concerns"! With his authority, Su Mo held his first formal meeting, and everyone arrived quickly.
Less than three minutes later, Su Chan and Shen Ke entered, chatting and laughing, and closed the door. Excluding Su Mo, there were now seven people in the conference room.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Su Mo got straight to the point, stating the meeting's main topic. "I'm going on a trip for about two days. I'll be taking Oreo with me. Everyone else, please stay on the ship under martial law."
Clearing his throat, and seeing that no one below, including Su Chan, had raised any objections, Su Mo nodded slightly and moved on to the next item.
To ordinary survivors, he was the omnipotent Su God.
His authority was even greater for his subordinates.
No one will question his decisions, even if they are wrong; everyone will follow along.
In some ways, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.
But at the very least, everyone believes in him!
"After I leave, the area above the Main Deck will be sealed off. Except for a few of you, everyone else will be confined to the first floor."
"During this time, I hope no one will discover that I have left. You must also strictly abide by the gag order and not tell anyone that I have left."
"Good!"
"Receive!"
Zhang Long and Liu Neng nodded, indicating that they accepted the order.
"Connie, keep an eye on our... alien race. You and Moore will take turns checking on their condition every day."
"If any unusual phenomena occur, do not hesitate to kill them immediately. We can discuss the matter further after I return."
Others might not know what this alien race represented, but Connie and Moore, who witnessed Su Mo's actions from the beginning, understood perfectly.
The lion and the bear remained silent, then slowly nodded.
"The ships don't need to wait for me. I'll set a cruising speed and move forward. I'll come back to you after I'm done."
"During this time, I will set up Gonggong to avoid all enemies!"
Having finished explaining the last point, and seeing the somewhat confused looks on everyone's faces, Su Mo dropped his serious expression and laughed heartily, "Go ahead, what other questions do you have!"
Su Chan raised her hand. "I have a question. From what I've observed, we don't have a second modern vehicle. Without the Hope, your speed and safety are not guaranteed, which doesn't comply with... well, it doesn't comply with the Chang'an regulations!"
I don't know where Su Chan got her hands on the Chang'an Guidelines.
Seeing the look in everyone's eyes that said, "That's what I thought too," I realized the situation was different.
Su Mo was slightly taken aback, then suddenly tapped the table.
He only had a short time to get the Sun Chasing Yacht, and at midday the sun was scorching, and no one went up to the deck to look down.
Naturally, no one knew about the speedboat's existence yet.
"Alright, it seems you all have this problem. How about this, come with me for a tour?"
"By all accounts, you are among the first group of people to appear, besides me!"
Standing up, Su Mo pushed open the conference room door and walked downstairs first.
The others, naturally, followed suit.
A moment later, as the group passed through the passageway below and entered the Hope's estuary, the Sun Chasing Yacht gradually came into view.
With a length of just over thirteen meters, the speedboat can easily accommodate not only eight people, but also twenty or thirty.
"Wow, I didn't see this yesterday."
"This is really amazing! It's just a shame there's no decoration inside, otherwise it would be absolutely comfortable."
"I wish it could be a little longer!"
"Exactly, a bit longer and wider, it would be so much more comfortable to go in!"
"Comfortable my foot! It's too big, and one person can't possibly operate it properly!"
?
Ahem. Hearing the slightly off-topic remarks from behind, Su Mo, who was walking in front, coughed again.
In terms of luxury, the Sun Chaser is indeed far inferior to the Hope.
Even the current bedroom is completely empty.
But after experiencing the feeling and speed of a speedboat, Su Chan remained silent this time.
With the magic carpet, it can fly; with this speedboat, it can run.
In this wasteland, the number of things that could threaten Su Mo's safety is practically zero! Ordinary alien races simply can't keep up with the speedboat's speed, and even if a powerful alien race attacks, they can immediately abandon ship and fly away; it's not a problem at all.
In the current state of chaos and stagnation caused by the disaster, as long as Su Mo doesn't deliberately court death, it's practically impossible for him to die.
"Let's go, let's go up!"
"I need to leave after dinner at six o'clock. Could you please help me move some things in the meantime?"
He called everyone back into the Hope's hull, and after Su Mo gave the order, everyone scattered.
The Hope has a huge warehouse, so logistics are not a problem.
But once at sea, fresh water, food, weapons, and supplies will all become problems.
Even if Su Mo is alone, he should bring enough food in case of an accident and be trapped in a certain place without logistics, which could be dangerous.
While the others were unloading their belongings, Su Mo was not idle either.
Before the Trading Market closed, the items that were officially traded were not only the certificates and communicators sent by Lu Yongyi.
The real gift from the authorities is the knowledge that is difficult to find in the wasteland!
This knowledge is not found in complete books, but its value far surpasses that of any book.
They all came from scientific researchers of the civilized era and were compiled based on their own memories.
The range of subjects it covers is terrifying, basically including all common disciplines.
Although these things are not as progressive as textbooks, Su Mo was astonished to find, after the system checked them, that the accuracy rate of these things remained a terrifying 99.9% or higher.
In other words, when writing these documents, all the scholars were completely focused, afraid of making even the slightest mistake.
This voyage has the added bonus of the Divine Messenger trial card, and Su Mo doesn't want to waste it.
So, after some careful selection, he brought along all the manuals on mechanical, aerospace, and biological knowledge.
Despite its massive volume of 1.5 cubic meters, Su Mo was confident that he could read it through and retain a general impression of it in his mind!
This knowledge will become the hope for the future development of this underdeveloped area, and also the best way for him to improve his individual strength.
Five o'clock.
The chef on the Hope had prepared the afternoon's meals.
Following the passage, Su Mo and the others chatted and laughed all the way down to the Crew Quarters, where they ate their last meal before leaving.
Then, after receiving the news that six o'clock had passed, the deck was under martial law, and Su Mo was going to conduct an experiment.
All the crew members were quite straightforward; they didn't even consider going up to the deck for some fresh air after their meal.
In unison, everyone cleaned up their dishes and returned to their dormitories to continue studying the design plans for the depression.
Seeing this change, Su Mo nodded repeatedly, a smile appearing on his face.
"I'm leaving. After I leave, I'll try my best to stay by Shen Ke and Moore's side."
"You must put your personal safety first. Even if the Hope is lost, you must make sure you survive!"
On the deck, everyone else had left, leaving only Su Mo and Su Chan.
"Okay, brother, you be careful too, and make sure you come back safely!"
"Don't worry, once this is handled well, nothing in this wasteland will be able to threaten us anymore!"
A glint of light flashed in his eyes. He patted Su Chan's head, Su Mo made a tough decision, abandoning all his personal feelings.
He took two steps forward and then jumped directly off the bow of the ship.
The next second, in Su Chan's field of vision.
A magic carpet miraculously appeared beneath Su Mo, effectively dissipating the impact of his fall from the sky and carrying him leisurely to the Sun Chasing Yacht.
The buzzing sound of the Sun Chaser starting up came, then fell silent again.
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mo glanced at the setting sun and the display screen showing the battery level had exceeded 50%, and immediately proclaimed:
"Gonggong, Navigation Point Four, avoid all living beings, proceed at cruising speed."
[Captain Su Mo, Gonggong has started automatic navigation; estimated sailing time is 18 hours and 50 minutes.]
Have a pleasant trip!
The Hope's engines need a one-hour break every four hours, but the Sun Chaser's engines don't need to be used.
With all-weather cruising, it only takes 18 hours, or 1 p. m. the next day, to successfully reach the ruins.
Nodding, he confirmed the captain's authority once again.
A flash of light, and the Automatic Driving System officially took over the Sun Chaser.
The ships controlled by Gonggong accelerate linearly much more stably than people do; sitting on them, one cannot feel the acceleration at all.
Once the speed picked up, looking at the Hope, which stood like a colossal behemoth on the sea behind him, Su Mo unconsciously waved his hand.
As if by telepathy, the Hope also slowly began to move.
The distance between them was so great that it was gone in a flash.
By the time Su Mo wanted to take a closer look, the Hope had already disappeared into the shadow of the setting sun.
"Ugh, this damn wasteland, it never gives me a moment of peace."
"If only I had more time!"
Turning back into the cabin, which Zhang Long had already renovated, Su Mo smiled as he turned on the light and casually picked up a book from the side.
With knowledge, I developed a sincere heart for learning.
The mysterious realm that was once too dangerous to explore has now finally opened a small window to Su Mo.
Iron Man armor, bio-engineering technology, central Energy Tower, all-terrain assault vehicles—through these thick books, even though Su Mo is only just beginning.
But he had already seen the future!
