Meeting, Mysterious Old World Technology

Fifteen days.

From nothing to something.

They built a giant steel ship that was over eighty meters long and even equipped it with various weapons.

Su Deben was stunned! And at the robot's throat, although it could be seen moving up and down, no sound was ultimately made.

As the seventy-fifth generation commander of the Expeditionary Force, Su Deben had seen many powerful weapons and even more terrifying vehicles.

But it is precisely because of these insights that he knows so deeply.

What does it really mean that such a behemoth was built in just fifteen days?

"Su Mo, have you found those Old World Technology in the wasteland?"

Su Mo was still communicating with Gonggong on the Hope Ship via Bluetooth Headset, was taken aback. "Old World Technology? What is this?"

The old days.

It's a term that sounds a bit like Cthulhu.

However, when combined with technology, it creates a slightly incongruous and strange feeling.

Seeing the puzzled look on Su Mo's face, as if it were the first time he had ever heard this term before.

Su Deben breathed a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, since you don't know about the Old World Technology and haven't used it before, you must be very careful. Although this thing is effective quickly, it brings a lot of trouble. As for its origin, it's a long story. It's roughly about the strange technologies that we humans developed on this land for thousands of years and developed in the struggle with other races. They have different effects."

"You can understand it this way: the only difference between Old World Technology and our modern technology is that Old World Technology is not powered by energy, but by life itself—living humans or alien races—instead of burning various forms of energy, thereby producing all sorts of strange effects through radiation."

"About 150 years ago, the craze for Old World Technology reached its peak on this land. At that time, not only were we humans using it, but other races were also using it, and we almost reached a new level. But because of some kind of upheaval, all the people using this technology disappeared overnight, and even the other races disappeared without a trace!"

As he said this, Su Deben's face showed a mixture of deep thought and barely suppressed surprise.

Clearly, the incident from back then still makes him a little scared.

But these words reminded Su Mo of a crucial point.

"Wait, 150 years ago, Uncle Su, did you experience that turmoil back then?"

Su Deben nodded. "Yes, 150 years ago, although we had become brains that could only survive in boxes, there were still quite a few living people maintaining the base. At that time, the wasteland outside had been almost completely occupied by us humans, and we humans had even carved out a powerful nation on the wasteland, called the Yan Country."

"Thanks to the Old World Technology, even ordinary people can enjoy the protection of technology!"

"Back then, our Expedition Base almost obtained the core of the Old World Technology, but as you know, this trip turned into a monster invasion. Large numbers of fearless monsters attacked every surviving camp like madmen. The team escorting the technology was probably attacked as well!"

It's amazing.

Yan Country had actually connected with Su Deben's Expedition Base.

The Expedition Base even had connections with the Yan Country.

But before Su Mo could even ponder the connection between them...

A few heads popped up on the deck of the Hope and started cheering.

"The director is down here!"

"Go down and open the door!"

"Goodness, the director has struck again!"

The ban on deck was still in effect, and all the crew members on the second floor had no idea what was going on.

But seeing Shen Ke, Su Chan, Zhang Long, Liu Neng and the others rushing down, they also got excited and started shouting incoherently.

Soon, the side gate of the Hope slowly opened.

With a splash, the lifeboat was thrown out, and then a bear carrying a girl was seen on its back.

They leaped lightly onto it.

"Brother, brother, where are you!"

Seeing Su Chan's anxious expression, Su Mo put aside his thoughts on the connection, put on a broad smile, and returned to the front of the Return Capsule.

Click! The button is pressed.

The hatch opened automatically.

As the mechanical door creaked open, Moore, who was rowing his boat, noticed the anomaly and quickly changed direction, rushing over.

Three days.

For Su Mo, the options included repairing the rocket, engaging in magical battles, going into space to enter the Ocean God Kingdom, and communicating with Jiang Chu.

This period of time was not very long.

But for the crew of the Hope, who were stuck on board and had lost the convenient communication of the Game Panel and had nothing to do all day, it was a long time!

As the hatch opened fully, Moore's small boat moved alongside.

The next moment, another powerful leap was made with the thighs gathering strength.

The Thunder Bear Clan's impact exploded wildly, causing the entire lifeboat to visibly drop a section, resulting in a man and a bear descending to earth as if gods had descended to earth.

They leaped into the Return Capsule! "Ha, be careful, don't damage my treasure, there's a lot of good stuff in here!"

"Elder brother!"

The moment Su Chan entered the cabin, she immediately saw Su Mo standing there with a smile on his face.

The next second, after jumping off Moore's back, the two hugged tightly.

And Moore, after glancing around with his small eyes, also found a partner.

He ran over and grabbed the robot that Su Deben was parasitizing tightly.

This scene was absolutely harmonious.

But after noticing Su Deben's stunned expression, Su Mo laughed and broke the embrace.

"Su Chan, this is Military Chief De Ben. He will be in charge of the military forces of our base from now on. You should call him Uncle Su. Please don't be disrespectful!"

"Good"

"Uncle Su, welcome to our base. Please make this your home from now on!"

With her eyes wide open, Su Chan called out in a sweet and affectionate tone, as if a junior were addressing an elder.

This shout stunned Su Deben, who was then held up and down by Moore.

After a long pause, he finally reacted, and said excitedly with mixed feelings of gratitude, "Good! Good! Good!"

"This will be our home from now on. Uncle Su, you must do everything in your power to protect our home."

"It's our first time meeting, Uncle Su, and I don't have a big gift to give. Please wait a moment!"

The robot burst forth with Giant Strength, breaking free from Moore's embrace.

As Su Deben manipulated the device back to the pile of junk, he rummaged through it and finally found something that looked like a ring, but also like an earring.

"This is a piece of jewelry that Uncle Su obtained in the wasteland many years ago. He hasn't been able to find anyone to give it to him all these years."

"Uncle Su, you mustn't!"

Su Deben's face hardened, and he immediately waved his hand, "What, you don't consider me family? You're already disregarding Uncle Su's words from the very beginning?"

Su Chan stuck out her little tongue and giggled, "Then, Uncle Su, I'll gladly accept!"

"That's more like it!"

The heritage of the Chinese people transcends generations and time.

Even in the wasteland, it continues.

This trip.

Su Mo felt this not only in Su Deben, Lü Kuan and others, but even in Jiang Chu had become a god, he still retained this feeling.

Seeing the harmonious scene before him, Su Mo did not disturb them, but stood silently to the side.

"Moore, I'm leaving. Did anything happen on the ship?"

"No, no, after the master left, Moore protected the Hope very well. No one dared to attack us!"

patting his chest, Moore looked brimming with confidence.

And the reality was exactly as he described.

As more and more people went into the water, they used manpower to secure the Return Capsule and the Sun Chasing Yacht.

Under the admiring gaze of the crowd, Su Mo slowly boarded the Hope.

After inspecting the area, they found that it was indeed as Moore had said.

Su Mo immediately lifted the three-day deck ban without hesitation.

They also announced their decision to set off for the New Continent.

Amid cheers, two hours of preparation had begun.

A huge human-powered crane also appeared above the deck.

On one side was a team of two to three hundred people, and on the other side was a retractable device resembling a coiled cable.

Thanks to this device, the entire Return Capsule weighs eleven tons.

But without any suspense, it was successfully pulled onto the deck by manpower and preserved.

However, the Sun Chaser could not be placed on the deck; Gonggong had to self-regulate and set up a program for joint operation.

"Su Mo, you truly have a wealth of talent here. I see no despair on these people's faces, only a longing for tomorrow."

"With such a group of people, how can we not achieve great things!"

They experienced the darkest moment when the rocket launch failed twice and morale plummeted.

As for the morale of the people on the Hope, Su Deben observed this after the hoisting was completed and he controlled the robot to come out.

They immediately gave it extremely high praise.

"Haha, Su Commander, you have no idea. These people looked half-dead just a few days ago, and now it's only been a few days!"

"Yes, we really have to tell you about the legendary history of our director!"

After Su Mo announced the letter of appointment.

For a robot to become the highest military commander under Su Mo.

After the initial curiosity, everyone quickly accepted the fact.

Having seen gods and alien races, it would be unreasonable if they couldn't accept robots.

At this moment, Zhang Long Liu Neng surrounded Su Deben like two guardian generals, and began to chatter on and on.

Look at Su Deben's undisguised curiosity and the occasional gasps of surprise on his face.

Su Mo scratched his head awkwardly and quickly "escaped" the scene of the flattery.

"Gonggong, how far are we from our Zero Navigation Point?"

Stepping into the cockpit, which he hadn't seen for several days, and sitting in his captain's seat, Su Mo felt a sense of familiarity.

The next second, after he successfully triggered the captain's identity verification.

Gonggong quickly provided the answer.

[Captain Su Mo, 14,980 kilometers from Zero Navigation Point, current speed 73.5 kilometers per hour]

[Estimated arrival time: 9 days and 15 hours]

"Alright, let's start now. Full speed ahead! Destination: Zero Navigation Point!"

Having learned everything about the ocean and ensuring there were no oversights, and with nine days and fifteen hours remaining, Su Mo was already eager to return home!
