My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely Novel! - Chapter 579
Chapter 579: Technological Leap! A Gift from the Interstellar Age!
Ring!
Su Mo had heard the prompt sound countless times and had already grown accustomed to the system’s monotonous voice that had no intonation.
However, since he arrived in the wasteland until this moment…
There had never been a prompt that made his mood change so dramatically!
Overjoyed!
No!
It was ecstasy!
The various rewards in the bag were determined in an instant, and the unit after it was not in grams or kilograms but tons!
Su Mo took a few deep breaths and forcibly resisted the urge to stand up and shout.
The system gave him precisely what they needed the most!
Currently, the grains in the warehouse of the basin was enough for 1,500 people to eat for more than three months.
However, the meat and fresh vegetable were long gone a while ago, and they only had saved some scraps for celebrations to motivate the villagers.
Su Mo could roughly estimate the stock without having to inquire about the quantity.
There were 50 kilograms at most!
‘Twenty tons of fresh meat and ten tons of fresh vegetables could last a month even if everyone was supplied with a pound of meat and half a pound of vegetables every day.
‘Not to mention, most people simply don’t have that big of an appetite.
‘These meats are totally enough for six months or even a year!’
Seeing that Su Chan worked hard to wake up early every morning to take the cattle and sheep for walks, yet they had not gained any weight for the past half month, Su Mo was also anxious but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, grains and vegetables could be grown in the fields, but meat cannot simply be grown.
In modern times, it was possible to supply meat in large quantities.
That’s because large-scale farms and breeding strategies had been formed after long-term development, and the foundation was already built.
However, in the doomsday wasteland, the devastating disaster had already caused so much damage to living creatures that there were hardly any birds in the wilderness, so it would be even harder to breed livestock.
‘There isn’t any special equipment from this airdrop, but the first bag is totally enough to resolve my urgent needs.
‘I’ve no high expectations of whatever I get from the other two!
They now had a lot of meat and fresh vegetables to supplement nutrition.
With the winter coming, preserving meat was not difficult. They just had to dig up pits, make ice cellars, and store the meat inside them.
As for vegetables, they were even easier to handle.
During this period, the restrictions could be lifted, and every meal should be as grand as possible so that everyone could replenish the previously depleted nutrients.
When the inventory was almost finished, the new crop of vegetables would already be planted in the ground, ready to be harvested soon.
A continuous positive cycle could be achieved.
They could rely on the airdrops for now.
Then, on themselves in the future.
Su Mo was not in a rush to receive the first reward yet. He calmed himself down and picked up the second lucky bag to examine it.
He took a closer look at it.
The second lucky bag was not as ordinary as it seemed. On the oak-colored surface, there were various subtle and dense patterns engraved on it.
Upon examination, shapes of building materials such as wood, screws, iron frames, etc could be identified.
‘Is the second one a material lucky bag?’
Su Mo made a guess in his heart and stopped hesitating. He quickly used the exact same technique as when he opened the first lucky bag and pulled on the drawstring.
A flash of light appeared, and the prompt sounded instantly.
[Record: Congratulations, player Su Mo for opening the Airdrop Material Resource Bag (Platinum). Your reward is being drawn randomly. Please wait…]
[Record: The reward has been successfully drawn, and the keywords you drew this time are: Construction materials, production materials, human needs, quality.]
[Record: Congratulations, player Su Mo, your rewards this time are: Screws (221 types) x1 ton,Steel bars (Construction) x 3 tons, Sand (Construction) x20 tons, High-quality logs (Construction) x50 pieces. Would you like to receive your reward now?]
Compared with the first food resource lucky bag…
The second material lucky bag was undoubtedly inferior. Except for the more than 200 kinds of screws that were somewhat useful, there was no shortage of the other items.
However, they would be useful and save most of the trouble when they begin infrastructure construction in the basin after the winter.
According to the calculation that one square meter of a building needed about 30 kilograms of steel bars, they could build about 1000 square meters with 3 tons, which was not bad.
‘Thinking about it now, the platinum airdrop’s rewards were not as direct as the last gold airdrop.
‘These things would be useless if given to a wealthy territory.
‘It seems that the game has firmly established the idea of real survival, and won’t be issuing any items with extraordinary power!”
Su Mo smiled and chose to receive the rewards later. He turned his attention to the last lucky bag.
This bag was the most mysterious of the three.
There were not only tall buildings engraved on it but when turned to the back, there were also a lot of complicated symbols with unknown meanings.
It felt very different from the previous two.
It was uncomfortable to the touch and a little matte. The texture was really extraordinary.
He quickly did what he wanted.
Su Mo gently tugged on the knot and waited silently for the game prompt to sound.
[Record: Congratulations, player Su Mo for opening the Airdrop Architectural Blueprint Resource Bag (Platinum). Your reward is being drawn randomly. Please wait…
[Record: Player Su Mo, it is detected that the actual value of your airdrop activation is… Bronze. The game is readjusting the lucky bag items. Please wait…
[Record: Player Su Mo, your lucky bag reward has been re-adjusted, and the game is re-determining the reward, please wait…]
[Record: Congratulations, player Su Mo. You have won first place several times in a row, and the lucky bag reward has been readjusted to be more suitable for your needs. Please choose the specific category of the third lucky bag.]
Four beeps sounded one after the other.
The first lucky bag and the second lucky bag, in terms of quantity, were sufficient.
However, the quality was far from enough.
Su Mo originally thought that the third lucky bag game would also just be something done hastily just to get it over with. Who would have thought that another re-evaluation would be triggered?
‘Could it be that I have a good relationship with the game? That’s why they’re giving me an additional reward?’
Su Mo was startled by the blue panel that suddenly appeared in the air. He turned toward it and glanced sideways at the panel.
For the third lucky bag, the game gave three categories to choose from.
The first one was the same architectural blueprint drawings, except that there were two large characters on the back that made it difficult for him to avert his eyes.
Monument!
After seeing the bonus brought by the special statue of Oreo, the importance of monuments had been raised a few folds in Su Mo’s heart.
Its importance of it was already verified.
However, one thing that could not be ignored was the terrifying difficulty of its construction.
It took more than 200 people working overtime for such a simple 20-meter sculpture and took half a month to build it.
It would be useless for them if the monument he drew was a large-scale building in their current stage.
The second category was futuristic technological blueprints that caught his attention. Similarly, it had a mark behind it.
The direction of the blueprint would be randomized, and he would either get a technological item that exceeds the existing technology of humans by 50 years or exceed the current technology of the basin by one level.
Again, it would be useless for them if the item drawn was related to household aspects. After all, survival alone was a problem, and they did not have time to be enjoying themselves.
However, if it were related to energy, medical care, or weapons, then having a complete blueprint would directly bring them to greater heights!
The third option was a random weapon blueprint.
The label after this item was very interesting. It roughly explained that whatever blueprint he received, the game would also give the related materials for the blueprint. According to the probability, it would be sufficient to produce at least 50 units.
‘Randomized blueprint that comes with free materials?’
Su Mo shook his head and immediately excluded this option before he finished reading it thoroughly.
The game did not want to break the balance so the weapon blueprints in the lucky bag were naturally nothing valuable or strong.
It even came with an additional 50 units of material.
There was a high probability that there was nothing even close to average in there. Only a fool would choose that option.
‘I don’t need the monument blueprint since I have the system.
‘For weapons, as long as our production factories are constructed and we get the corresponding materials, we can produce them ourselves.
‘I should choose the technology!’
It took less than a minute for him to decide.
Su Mo made up his mind and quickly tapped on the second option.
In fact, no matter what aspect of the technology of the next 50 years in the future he obtained, it would be a great inspiration to their current research.
Whether it was the design of one of the electronic components or the accumulation of an overall idea in the highly integrated future, it would be a major breakthrough from their current situation!
Seeing the big in the small, even if he were to get a blueprint of civilian commodities, it would still bring more significant improvements that the other two options could not have brought to the basin.
[Record: The category that you have chosen is the future technological blueprints (50 years from the current technology of humankind). Are you sure?]
“Yes?”
[Record: Selection is successful, the lucky bag is changing the reward. Please wait…]
When the system prompt sounded, the lucky bag on the table floated in the air and began to emit faint rays of light.
The pattern on it had also changed from a gate to three intertwined rings that rotated up and down.
[Record: Congratulations, player Su Mo for opening the Airdrop Future Technology Blueprint Bag (Platinum). Your reward is being drawn randomly. Please wait…]
[Record: It is detected that the current human technology is in the Stone Age, and it will automatically upgrade to 50 years into the future, which is the Steam Age. Blueprint is being drawn randomly…]
[Record: The random draw has failed, and it was detected that the technology level of the current territory greatly exceeds that of the Stone Age. The technology level of the territory in the current year is being reanalyzed…]
[Record: It is detected that the current territory technology is in the Short-Distance Interstellar Age, and it will automatically upgrade a level to the Medium-Distance Interstellar age. The blueprints are being drawn…
[Record: Congratulations, player Su Mo, your reward this time is Mini All-terrain Climbing Car Blueprint (Child Guard Version) x1.]
Swoosh.
The prompt messages appeared one after another and quickly flashed across the screen.
As soon as Su Mo saw that the game determined the current human technology was not the Information Age but Stone Age, his eyes twitched and immediately wanted to curse.
This time he lost to the wording trap of the game.
The game deliberately mentioned 50 years to deceive people and did not clearly state whether it was the technology of human beings on Earth or the level of technology in the wasteland.
Seconds later.
He saw that the game made a wrong judgment of the technology and reanalyzed the basin as a Short-Distance Interstellar Age, and promoted it to a Medium-Distance Interstellar Age.
The corners of Su Mo’s lips lifted into a grin.
In the end, the few words “Child Guard Version” made Su Mo experience the ups and downs of life in a few seconds.
‘D*mn it!
‘Even if it’s a mini all-terrain climbing car for children, it’s still from the interstellar age! How bad can it be?!’
There was copper and iron in the basin.
However, they were not capable of building a qualified vehicle.
For an ordinary off-road vehicle like Earth Tiger, not to mention the four major processes of stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly, the large number of precision parts in the car alone was enough for a long and tough process.
In modern times, those who put up videos claiming to have built a car from scratch, it was nothing more than “reassembling.” They put together a large number of dismantled parts and frames to make a car that was barely able to drive.
However, to manufacture a vehicle from scratch, one small mistake during the process would not qualify as a vehicle and it was instead a moving coffin.
The people inside the vehicle would die instantly if any accident were to occur.
‘I choose to receive the blueprint now! ”
Su Mo’s voice rang out with slight apprehension.
Similar to when items were rewarded by the game before, a small vortex appeared in thin air and began to crackle, dropping the reward out.
It was named a mini all-terrain climbing car, but the complete set of blueprints was a lot.
In just four to five seconds, a small corner in the shelter was already piled up to about one meter!
‘Ugh. This is going to be a really big project!’
The vortex disappeared after it had finished releasing the blueprints.
Su Mo approached the blueprints and picked up the general outline of it.
‘The mini all-terrain climbing car was developed by Sunix Military Industry… Wait! Why is it Sunix Military Industry again?
‘The adventurer’s terminal that had the special ability to automatically release a small shelter was also developed by Sunix Military Industry!’
Su Mo thought that the next time he would see these words again was when he explored ruins and found some new things.
He never thought that the game was rewarding a complete internal production manual from them!
With a slight doubt in his heart, Su Mo skipped through the vague introduction on the front and calmed his heart as he began to read the descriptive text on the next pages.
‘A small all-terrain climbing vehicle which can travel through a lot of special terrains. It can not only drive on flat land but also climb on various difficult paths such as mountains, swamps, potholes roads, etc.”
‘Because it is a child guard version, the vehicle can only take up to six passengers, and the maximum speed is set to 120 kilometers. The weapon module and the adventure module have been removed.
‘There are only two functions left to maintain the basic use of driving and climbing for children’s learning.
‘The vehicle’s engine is non-fuel-based. It uses an electric motor that is powered by a high-energy battery and has a maximum cruising range of 2,500 kilometers.
Su Mo flipped through the picture books and read them very diligently.
It was as he had expected.
It was a complete production manual. It included the construction from the most basic structure to the manufacturing of the battery motors and even to the final integrated assembly at the back. The manual had everything, including the detailed manufacturing process and drawings that came with it.
It could be said that the blueprint of the mini all-terrain climbing car not only brought the finished product to the basin but also brought a significant improvement to the technological tree in the basin.
‘It’s definitely a good reward!’
‘Forget it, I’ll leave it to Ai Jianfeng and the others to research it. It’ll take me three to five days to finish reading this by myself!’
After flipping through the general outline, he glanced at the various parameters on the second illustration, and Su Mo put it down with confidence.
At the current stage of the basin, it was going to be difficult to manufacture the mini all-terrain climbing car.
Including the batteries, there were no suitable raw materials to produce the necessary parts.
However, Su Mo believed that in the future, with the help of the system, the basin’s research power, and the system upgrades, the basin would be fully capable of mass-producing these all-terrain vehicles easily!
It might even be possible to abandon the batteries and use high-quality energy stones to supply energy.
‘It’ll be more exciting to share this with everyone else!
“Although this airdrop did not greatly enhance my personal strength, it enriched the basin’s foundation, which is also great!’
‘It’s time for a celebration!’
Su Mo walked out the shelter door and saw thousands of villagers waiting at the village entrance in the distance.
He could no longer hold back the joy in his heart and burst out laughing!
