…

Total tally: 4801 points; creation function lucky draw chance x1

Survival points remaining: 19086 points

“My current gap in survival points is too big. Previously, I wouldn’t have dreamed of earning as much as 5000. But now, it’s far from enough if I want to create something!”

Achieving so many milestones had only gained him 4800 points. At the thought of leveling up in the future, which would cost tens of thousands or even several hundred thousand survival points, Su Mo could not help feeling a headache coming on.

“However, the gains from just one lucky draw chance is much higher than ten thousand points, a hundred thousand points, or even a million points!”

Before one accomplished anything earth-shattering, the survival points that the system gave out were already insufficient based on what was currently happening.

However, the lucky draw chance this time really roused Su Mo’s enthusiasm!

For the last round, he had drawn Dongfeng 17. Killing the Heavenly Dog Pseudo God had not only made Su Mo incredibly rich, but it had also even directly changed the fate of the entire community and halted mankind’s decline on the wasteland.

This had resulted indirectly in the welfare disaster, which had provided the shelters with supplies that could last for years!

Now, these changes had shown up on the creation function. Looking at the lucky draw chance that had appeared on the top right corner, Su Mo found it hard to breathe as his heart began beating faster.

“First of all, I don’t do bad things. Secondly, I don’t intentionally scheme to harm people or entrap them. I’ve always done things properly and above-board. My conscience is clear.

“It’ll be inexcusable if you don’t give me something good!”

After the previous lucky draw, given the frightening minimum and maximum limits of the lucky draw system, Su Mo did not continue with his self-comforting prayers. He immediately tapped on the lucky draw interface.

Clatter!

Millions of cards began to shuffle rapidly in the creation function, the cards sliding across the screen quickly.

For a split second even, the mini destroyer blueprint in his storage space flashed past on one of the cards, showing its perfect iron curves—an extremely alluring sight.

Su Mo watched the familiar Dongfeng 17 go past; as he looked, Dongfeng 41 also went by in a flash.

He watched as nuclear submarines turned to aircraft carriers. When he saw a fighter aircraft that could travel thousands of kilometers per hour, Su Mo’s face flushed.

The cards were gliding past very quickly. After watching for a while, Su Mo gave up on the idea of drawing a prize by looking at the cards. He began holding his breath.

Looking at the cards that were swiftly flashing past one by one, Su Mo’s chest rose and fell in time with the hammering of his heart until he was almost dizzy.

He found himself faced with a card that looked completely ordinary but somehow held a magnetic attraction for him. He used his mind to hurriedly grab it and pull it out.

Boom!

The cards that were still fluttering in an illusory manner vanished with a boom into the creation function once Su Mo made his choice.

Like a shooting star beyond the heavens, the lucky draw interface swiftly vanished.

The existing column now had a new addition—a vintage card, the back of it covered with intricate patterns.

“This time, I’m not asking for any missiles or any superweapons. Just give me something that can be used in the ocean, and I’ll be satisfied!”

Taking two deep breaths, Su Mo began to concentrate.

As his thoughts moved slightly along the edges of the card, he used his mind to carefully turn up one corner of it.

He saw something silvery-white and pointed that resembled a scroll. It exuded a faint electric-blue current.

“Huh? This is a blueprint? It’s not a finished product?”

Su Mo scratched his head, staring at the card that looked exactly like the blueprint designs in the game, then simply flipped it over right away.

Based on his previous attempts, the system’s creation function could not directly create blueprints—it could only create finished products.

He had not expected to pull something like this in the lucky draw.

Once the card was turned over, it naturally lost its mysterious “aura” and its attributes were also displayed as Su Mo looked at it.

[High Capacity Signal Tower (Rare)]

[Description]: The high capacity signal tower came into being in the 8G era, following the development of the materials industry and the need for signals. Due to the addition of a series of high-strength rigid structures, the signal tower is extremely well-equipped to withstand natural disasters. Furthermore, after the inclusion of a high-energy signal emitter, the signal tower’s signal range can reach a maximum of 3000 kilometers. Compared to the 7G era, this increase is a significant leap.

[Card contents]: High capacity signal tower finished product x1; high capacity signal tower blueprint x1

[Signal range]: Peak data range: 3800 kilometers and below; signal limit: 1400 kilometers and below

[Power consumption]: 12.5 kWh (Limit: 22.4 kWh, Lowest: 3.85 kWh)

[Signal strength]: Within 3000 kilometers (delay: 0.005ms), outside 3000 kilometers (every 100 kilometer increase, delay increases by 1ms)

[Amenities]: High energy signal tower user manual x1, high energy signal tower maintenance manual x1

[Limitation]: Requires the building of a transformer substation that meets the system’s requirements before it can be situated

[Limitation]: Requires the user to have an exploration range of more than 3000 kilometers before it can be situated

[Comment]: It’s the 8G era, will you be surfing online too?

“Good grief, so it’s not merely a blueprint, there’s a finished product that comes with it as well!”

Even though he had not drawn any weaponry or equipment that could instantly increase his combat abilities and had instead drawn a signal tower that seemed useless at the moment, Su Mo was not annoyed at all. In fact, he felt as if he had stumbled upon some amazing good luck.

The Dongfeng missile was extremely powerful. However, apart from the fact that it could only be used once, it was practically useless in terms of something that could change technology.

Things like weapons required far too many skills in basic science and technology. Before reaching a certain stage, there was no way to absorb its technological contents.

Conversely, if the requirements for the signal tower were fulfilled, the tower itself could be set up. By analyzing the technology used, mankind’s communication technology would gain an unprecedented boost.

Some of the technology that he had imagined would be able to come into being as well!

“Before everyone on Earth transmigrated here, 5G era applications were not even fully developed yet. This sudden leap to 8G means that the conceptions everyone holds about technology will go through another shakeup again!”

Su Mo shook his head, staring at the glossy card that glittered irresistibly. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and steadfastly put it away.

‘This is way out of my reach, I can’t have it!’

Before this object’s function could be maximized, it required at least a certain depth in the shelter’s strategic scope, or for technological capabilities to advance until they were at the limit of Earth’s technology.

Putting aside the energy drain caused by the frightening amount of power consumption, if he simply built a transformer substation now, assembled the refugees of the Candlelight Shelter, and forced the signal tower to be released without building amenities beforehand, it would merely be the equivalent of a useless pillar in terms of actual use.

Seeing that it was still early after the harvesting was finished, Su Mo opened his diary that he had not used for quite some time. Since he was in a good mood, he felt inclined to give a complete summary of what he had been doing recently.

From the ruins of time until the planting after that, Su Mo extracted some key phrases from everything that happened and arranged them into a complete list.

After sorting this out, he glanced at the cluttered plans previously recorded in the diary. Once again, he tapped on his friends list and randomly pulled up a deceased person’s account from among his interactions with his good friends.

“Since there’ll be more and more plans as time goes on, it looks like I’ll have to open another account for summarizing them!”

After making notes about future plans on the deceased person’s account, Su Mo began listing down everything he needed to do according to date.

“Arrangements for the Candlelight Shelter have already been sorted out; apart from delivering fuel, there aren’t any troublesome matters that need to be taken care of in the next two days. As for the fuel delivery… Moose can drive Earth Tiger over.

“The five mu of black soil land beside the shelter is so fertile it can’t be left to sit idle. In my spare time, I can plant the herbs that I’ve collected and some other tree saplings.

“The furnace has to be built as soon as possible. I’ll have to think of a way to smelt some high-strength steel.

“Once the disaster is over, the shelter will be able to advance to level five. The mini destroyer blueprint that required a level four shelter to learn can be used immediately then. When the time comes, I’ll be able to start attempting to build the mini destroyer.

“The shelter’s development mustn’t stop either. Once the energy fruits have ripened, now that there isn’t the handicap of damaging the core, not to mention the eight complete cores I have on hand, the shelter can open up several large living spaces. Those can be transformed into cold storage for food and supplies.

“As for the development of the technology tree, I’ll have to wait until the low-lying land ruins open up, then try to find a computer there. I’ll only be able to embark on the next stage of development if I have a computer!

“...”

After eloquently noting down more than ten lines in succession, Su Mo looked at his clearly-listed plans for the next two months and closed the game interface, feeling satisfied.

The road to farming began with this first step.

Once he had completed this round of moving supplies into the warehouse, he could immerse himself fully in developing the technology tree.

When the time came, once the flood subsided, the technology of the low-lying lands would burgeon rapidly, and mankind’s first super assembly point would be birthed from here!
