Chapter 392: The Raft Ferry, the Power of the Medium-Sized Machine Tool!

What was March 6th in Wasteland time was humanity’s 65th day of survival.

After two months of difficulties and struggles, the time kept on Earth gradually disappeared from the memories of more and more survivors.

Most people’s senses of time were inaccurate, as they did not have the time to remember what day it was.
They only knew that today was the fourth day of the tsunami disaster.

When the disaster restarted at 8 o’clock, every time the tsunami hit, the duration in between would fluctuate from half an hour to an hour and a half.

Likewise, the resting period also increased to half an hour, which gave the survivors more time to repair the damages.

However, unlike the past three days, the World Channel’s wind finally changed!

At 12 o’clock, the organization members who had disappeared for two months seemed to emerge from the horizon.
Everyone could see them.

It was not just that they had returned.
They had also brought news with them that cheered everyone up.

Everyone assembled!

There were almost seven hundred thousand ships from the organization scattered around the Wasteland.
They began to gather the survivors in the area to brace through the disasters.

Since the regions were divided up differently, only 1500 regions were found.

The humans in these areas had to follow the organization’s lead and head towards the corresponding location to gather and withstand the disasters together.

It had to be mentioned that the organization was not dormant for no reason.

If they had come out to maintain the stability on the first day in the Wasteland, asking the humans to gather together and not fear any disasters, it would have definitely left a positive impact in the short run.

Especially considering how the organization had had to start back up from scratch during these two months without any materials or ability to support their follow-up actions.

However, in the early stages, all that prior vigor would have become a kind of poison that festered in every survivor’s mind.
It would have led to the credibility and authority of the organization collapsing and vanishing right away.

Therefore, the organization had always been waiting.

They were waiting for an excellent chance, waiting for an opportunity to turn things around, waiting for the chance to win the turn-around battle.

Now, in the eyes of the officials, this chance…

Had finally come!

Battlefield division region 816.

According to how the regions had been previously divided, the area should be on the edge of Region Number 8’s battlefield area.
Region Number 5 could be entered by driving a few hundred miles further and straight into Region Number 3.

Additionally, the organization had set up an assembly point near the center of Region Number 5’s battlefield area.

At this time, it had just struck three o’clock, the time the tsunami would break out.

When compared to the tsunami from three days ago, the magnitude of the one today was much more intense.
The surface of the sea seemed to have Parkinson’s as it shook violently.
From time to time, there would also be waves several tens of meters tall that would rise and heavily beat against the surface of the sea.

However, for the survivors…

Today’s atmosphere was much calmer than the days before!

After a long time of gathering, not only were the big and small boats linked together, but the raft warriors also followed suit to link the rafts together!

They took out the hemp rope, homemade chains, animal tendons, and other resilient items they had prepared when they went to sea earlier, jumped into the water, and tied the rafts securely to each other.

At first, there were ten rafts.
However, even after linking hundreds of rafts together, there was not much of a change other than the contraption being a bit bigger.

Everyone was astonished and curiously walked across the rafts as if they were visiting someone’s home and relieving themselves of the loneliness of drifting in the sea.

Not long after, as more and more rafts were linked together, the number of rafts exceeded a thousand…

A quantitative change had finally led to qualitative change!

[Raft ferry (normal)]

[Description: A uniquely-shaped ship was formed by linking thousands of rafts securely together, leading it to having a new and stronger ship route]

[Strengthened route one: When the rafts are at a secured state, all raft owners can directly contribute to the material’s disaster points to strengthen the raft ferry (Note: When the rafts are separated, the strength awarded will be evenly distributed to each connected raft)]

[Strengthened route two: When the rafts are strengthened to a decent quality, the first route for the raft ferry will be opened and headed towards Oasis of the Sea]

[Strengthened route three: When the rafts are strengthened to a level of excellent quality, the second route for the raft ferry will be opened and headed towards Moving Island]

[Strengthened…]

The raft warriors who fought alone, besides Sun Xian, did not have many points or materials left to upgrade the rafts.

More than 70% of the people were either lacking materials or lacking points.

At this moment, after unexpectedly allowing everyone to strengthen their own rafts, the ones with materials would share materials and the ones with points would share points.

The material of the raft ferry underwent many drastic changes in an instant.
Even the toughness of the raft’s body increased by several levels!

On the shaky surface of the sea, because the area of the ferry was spread out too wide, it resembled a leaf floating on the surface of the water and could not be stable.

The raft warrior who had initially fallen behind now had a fighting ability no weaker than a small ship and was better than big ships in terms of comfort after the rafts were tied together.

At that moment, the tsunami arrived.

The warriors that usually madly panicked did not tightly grab onto the raft and beg the gods for mercy like they had before.

Instead, they walked on the raft ferry cautiously and observed the state of the outside world.

Unlike with the storm of the outside world, this type of change excited them.

They excitedly looked at the sea beyond the raft ferry and were curious to feel the changes in the ferry after investing so many materials and points into strengthening it.

“Eh, hurry and come look at what’s that!”

“Oh my gosh, what the hell is this!”

Suddenly, a loud cry attracted everyone’s attention.

The loud cry had come from two middle-aged men who stood at the edge of the raft ferry.

They pointed to beneath the sea’s surface, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
They thought they had glimpsed a ship.
A ship that could only be seen on the television in the civilized era had passed by quickly under the water.

However, it was different from television.
The speed of this ship was terrifyingly fast.

Just like an illusion, as the people curiously gathered around them, the ship under the water disappeared without a trace, as it had never appeared at all.

“I clearly saw a ship passing by beneath us!”

Other people wanted to refute when they heard the two middle-aged men bickering.
On the other side of the raft ferry, another similar voice cried out, “Damn, there are ships beneath the sea?!”

At that moment, there were two groups of people who witnessed it.
It immediately caused a stir on the whole raft ferry.

Everyone curiously peeked over the edge of the raft ferry and hoped to see the ship they had mentioned.

Unfortunately, the tsunami had made the sea a little muddy, so there was no sign of any ship in anyone’s field of view.

“A ghost ship?”

“No, what I saw was a warship, it was… the type of warship we have on Earth!”

“Warship? You’re crazy.
Have you ever seen a warship under the sea? What I saw… was a submarine from the warship department!”

“Holy sh*t, I didn’t notice the ship’s appearance.
But I did notice that a black bear making an ugly face at me …”

“Yeah man, I saw two peacocks that looked like chicken!”

“Pass it on, just now a human ship passed us from under the sea.
The foreign races will be taken away soon!”

“Pass it on, there were a total of three hundred ships that passed by.
Every one of them was carrying cannon missiles…”

“…”

As more and more raft warriors joined the discussion, the news that the few people heard started to become more outrageous.

As the outrageous remarks spread, even the ones who had seen the ships themselves became doubtful.

Naturally, Su Mo, who had boarded Hope One and left for hundreds of miles, was oblivious to the joy the sand sculptures were having on the sea’s surface.

As Hope One set sailed at full speed, it scanned the humans that went straight to hiding in the seabed to avoid being included in the plan.

The time to meet with Tundra One’s fleet was cut short again.

According to the current progress, even if Tundra One’s fleet stayed still in one spot, Hope One would still arrive on time before dawn on the 9th.

If Hope One’s mid-journey was smoother, it would also be possible to arrive on the night of the 8th.

[Captain Su Mo, there is no human activity within 120 miles, and the current remaining submerge time is: 2 hours 38 minutes]

“Float up!”

Su Mo, who was standing at the deck of the second level of Hope One, casually waved his hand to the side as he heard the command from the operating system through the headset.

In an instant, Hope One, which had been traveling on the seabed for over 100 feet, slowly floated up.
It took 26 seconds to completely change from being under the water to above.

Even with these changes, under the epic-quality of comfort that had been added to this medium-sized machine tool, Su Mo did not feel a single bump.

Compared to the miniature machine tool, the medium-sized machine tool that was currently placed in the innermost warehouse of the second level’s deck was frighteningly large.

From the front to back, the machine tool was roughly fifteen meters long.
With the slight magical design included, it was vastly different compared to the humans’ machine tool.

In terms of the characteristics of the machine tool, the weight alone is daunting as it reached a terrifying weight of 65 tons!

These types of weaponry should not be around at this point in time.
However, because there had been a violation in operation, Su Mo could see the potential of the mysterious technology.

“This battery was used to supply excess power for Hope One.
However, after charging for two days, it still can’t be fully charged.

“If this was placed in an underground shelter, just charging it would cost a terrifying amount of resources!”

Similarly to the miniature machine tool, the requirement to use the medium-sized machine tool for the first time was to fully charge it.

However, more than two days—over 50 hours—had passed since it was placed to charge, yet there was still the last 1% remaining for it to be fully charged to 100%.

According to the progress, the last 1% would take roughly half an hour to be fully charged.

When it came to energy consumption, it would not be an exaggeration to call it an energy

guzzler.

That was why Hope One could source excess energy from the water.
That could be used as a temporary solution.
However, if it were to be brought onto land, it would not be able to be used at all.

Nevertheless, Su Mo did not stay idle in these two days of waiting.

After some trial and error, he had a basic grasp of how to use the medium-sized machine tool.

The previous two designs that were obtained from deconstructing the vertical launchers were almost immediately imported by Su Mo.
When the time came, the manufacturing process could start instantly.

“According to Hope One’s current inventory, they can produce roughly 85 rounds of the R-1 rocket launcher.

“Although the power of this thing is more or less the same as a naval artillery, it has a shocking range of over 300 kilometers which is capable of destroying fixed targets.

“As for the R-3 short-range ballistic missile, hopefully, it isn’t much weaker than Dongfeng.
If not, it can only rely on survival points to strengthen itself!”

Su Mo opened the system panel and glanced at the lower right corner.
After a long period of accumulation, the survival points exceeded seventy-five thousand survival points.
Su Mo was calm and patiently waited for the machine tool to be fully charged.

As planned, after thirty-five minutes passed, the last 1% of the machine tool’s battery was fully replenished.

The moment Su Mo saw the 100% battery indicator pop up, he pressed the red start button in the middle of the machine tool.

The press of the button seemed to have activated some mechanisms.

An indescribable rumbling sound began to slowly spread from inside of the machine tool, and the entire ship seemed to tremble.

However, in the next second, as a golden light flashed on the walls and floors, the rumbling sound disappeared in an instant.

In Su Mo’s field of sight, a 65-inch sized creation panel quickly popped out, as if the machine tool was ready to be used.

At the same time, the classic level-up sound heard in games started to play.

[Record: It has been detected that the probability of player “Su Mo” passing this disaster exceeds 99%.
He is the only player in the world who has received this achievement.]

[Record: Rewarded with one chance to win the “intermediate” lucky draw..]
