My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1418
[1408. Chapter 1388 I don’t need others to deny me. Only successful people have the right to speak!]
He had just clearly seen the ship approaching at a very fast speed, then braked precisely beside the sampan and aimed the landing port at the stern towards him without any shaking or deviation.
How could there be no one who could operate this smoothly and accurately?
But in an instant, Lao Zhang’s eyes froze, and his face was full of disbelief.
There was indeed no human figure within the visible range of the deck. Every corner where someone might hide was empty, including the crucial steering position, which was also empty.
What’s going on?
“Yeah, are we there yet?”
At this time, Luo Xiang sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes.
However, when he reluctantly raised his eyelids and looked up at the guerrilla boat moored next to the sampan, he suddenly stood up as if struck by an electric current, and the sleepiness in his eyes disappeared.
“Where did this boat come from?”
The guerrilla boat in front of them was a huge monster compared to the sampan under them.
The silver-shining metal hull was sparkling in the sunlight.
The weapon firing ports exposed on the side of the cabin exude a majesty that cannot be ignored.
Coupled with the modern structure inside the boat, Luo Xiang felt dizzy. He couldn’t imagine that there was such an advanced existence in this wasteland.
The three of them were stunned at the same time, with all kinds of inexplicable thoughts arose in their minds.
On the contrary, Luo Jiao did not seem too surprised after waking up. She blinked her big eyes and ran to Su Mo blankly, with admiration and curiosity flashing in her eyes.
“Uncle, your boat looks really majestic!”
“Isn’t it majestic? Do you want to go up and take a look?”
“I do!” Luo Jiao answered loudly without hesitation.
At this moment, the figure in front of him seemed to overlap with his sister Su Chan, making Su Mo feel a little dazed.
But he quickly reacted, picked up Luo Jiao gently and threw her onto the boat.
call.
Almost falling down on the deck, Luo Jiao didn’t care. Instead, she quickly got up and touched here and looked there.
Although the guerrilla boat was not originally designed for long-distance sailing, it is not equipped with much comfort hardware.
But as I said, for ordinary survivors in the wasteland, having a place to shelter from the wind and rain is heaven.
Compared to wooden sampans, the biggest advantage of steel boats is that they can be hollowed out inside.
A guerrilla boat with a cabin is much more comfortable than a sampan. They are products of two different eras.
“Is this really your boat?”
Luo You finally came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and forced himself to appear calm.
“If you’re not used to it, why don’t you continue to ride the sampan?”
Su Mo smiled, stepped lightly on the sampan, and flew into the air and landed on the rear board of the guerrilla boat.
Seeing this, Luo Xiang no longer stood there stupidly, but jumped over in a hurry.
“Wow, such a new deck, and it smells great!”
“Machine guns! Holy shit! Uncle, there are machine guns on your ship!”
“A big freezer with so many fresh vegetables stored inside, a stove. Oh my god, there’s actually a small kitchen in this cabin??!”
“Oh, uncle, your boat is so luxurious.”
The two children ran around the cabin like crazy, screaming all the time.
Luo You felt itchy after hearing this, so he suppressed his shock and climbed up with staggering legs.
The movements were a bit awkward, but no one cared so much at this time.
Soon, Lao Zhang was the only one left on the sampan, looking a little at a loss.
This sampan is his entire property. If he gets on Suma’s boat, what will happen to the sampan?
Will he throw it away?
“Come on board first. We can just tie this sampan to the back of the boat and pull it.”
“Hey, it’s good to hold it, it’s good to hold it!”
Old Zhang was delighted. When he heard that he would not have to lose his property, he crawled onto the guerrilla boat.
For the fishermen who make a living on the water, no one understands better than them how terrifying the influence of this iron boat is.
No wonder Su Mo asked Lao Gong to give him a ride yesterday. If this guerrilla boat was really driven to the dock of the Xingye Alliance, not only would the entire dock be blown up, but the entire territory would probably be in chaos for several nights.
Sitting on the deck, Su Mo did not follow the others in to wander around, nor did he have the heart to introduce himself.
After all, the guerrilla boat was still a little too small, only a little over eight meters in length, and the internal space was very limited.
At most, there are four crew cabins, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a small command room at the entrance.
Each crew cabin has six beds, which are somewhat similar to the upper, middle and lower bunks on a green train.
Anyway, it would be impossible to sit up after falling asleep.
However, Su Mo still underestimated the “quirks” of the survivors. The four of them took turns lying down in the crew cabin, all of them grinning from ear to ear.
This narrow space feels so safe. There is no need to worry about enemies suddenly attacking from some invisible corner, nor do you have to worry about a monster appearing next to you when you turn around.
Even though it’s a bit cramped to sleep, comfort is nothing compared to a sense of security.
“You must be hungry. I’ll go get you something to eat.” After everyone finished the tour, Su Mo stood up with a smile and went to the kitchen.
The freezer is filled with a lot of pre-prepared food packages prepared by chef apprentices. I open a few packages and pour them into the pot to heat them up, and the aroma immediately comes out.
Cook another bundle of noodles, and a simple pot of臊子面 will be freshly cooked in less than ten minutes.
“I’ll serve it, I’ll serve it!”
Luo Xiang and Luo Jiao volunteered to rush in. One picked up the pot and ran to the command room, while the other counted out chopsticks and bowls for five people from the cutlery box.
Of course, when Luo Jiao found the brand new alloy chopsticks and the stainless steel bowl with a delicate touch, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
Being often influenced by Luo You, she certainly knows what these bowls and chopsticks reveal.
This level of fine polishing and manufacturing technology is definitely not something that can be achieved by hand.
Only when the industry has a complete chain development can it extend its tentacles to people’s livelihood products.
It can be said that if she did not clearly know that several people were still in the wasteland, Luo Jiao would not believe it even if she was told that they had returned to Earth.
The noodles were brought in and the bowls were set.
Su Mo took out five bottles of fruit-flavored drinks made of some unknown mixture from the freezer and took them into the command room.
“Eat, why are you waiting for me?”
The four of them sat down in a row, and when it was time to eat, they all looked embarrassed.
They felt that everything before their eyes seemed a little unreal, as if they were dreaming.
Especially Lao Zhang, he had a sense of unreality as if he was falling into the clouds.
Although before he chose to follow Su Mo, he had fantasized about having a good life in the future.
But how long had it been? Just one night, and the ultimate goal had been achieved?
“Luo You, then you come and serve the noodles. I see you seem quite uncomfortable.”
After suppressing the two restless children, Su Mo looked over there intently.
The latter gave two bitter smiles and had to stagger to his feet. He put three chopsticks of noodles into the five people’s bowls and then scooped a spoonful of sauce on them.
“now it’s right.”
Su Mo crossed his legs, opened the pull ring of the drink, smacked his lips and took a sip.
“Do you understand equal exchange? Don’t think that everything you enjoy now is for nothing. No matter how much I give you in terms of material benefits, I will make the same level of demands when I need work.”
“In other words, all that you are enjoying now is earned by your own labor.”
He knew that the current behavior of several people was simply due to the fact that their current treatment was too disjointed from their past lives.
This happens almost every day in the territory, and all new survivors go through this stage.
The difference is that there is already a complete set of adaptation tutorials in the territory, which can allow every survivor to quickly adapt to the environment, but here he needs to do it personally.
But the effects are similar, and it takes a few days to gradually accept everything.
“Eat it, or the noodles will clump together and that will be bad!”
After lunch, the two children quickly cleaned up the stove, while Lao Zhang went to the stern to tie up the sampan.
Su Mo thought about it and brought Luo You, who was full of worries, to the deck.
The two sat down opposite each other, the river breeze mixed with heat waves blowing across their faces.
“If you have anything to ask, just ask.”
“How does your ship achieve autonomous driving? And have you developed a new type of energy supply?” Luo You was not polite and directly asked the two most critical questions.
This concerns his direct judgment on the level of development of all the elite territories in Soma.
If we already have this level of technology, then we are probably not inferior to the three super territories.
“Autonomous driving is made possible by artificial intelligence.”
Su Mo took out a copy of No. 0 from his pocket and threw it into the sky. The small cube spun and landed on the steering wheel.
“As for energy supply, we certainly didn’t use modern technology, as that would require too much infrastructure. We used a special waste soil mineral, the full name is: KF Energy Stone, which can automatically absorb heat and store it. Under certain instruments, the heat can be converted to work and achieve energy conversion.”
Understand?
Of course he couldn’t understand. As a typical liberal arts student, Luo You only had a superficial understanding of these science and engineering knowledge. The most skill points he had were to change simple circuits and repair some small appliances.
But as he watched the small cubes spinning on the tray, he suddenly felt relieved.
These explanations are not important; what is important is Su Mo’s current attitude.
He did not feel that after tying his family to the chariot, he could refuse to explain some simple questions.
Even if he didn’t understand, as long as he asked, Su Mo would still tell him the answer.
This is definitely an attitude that can make people feel at ease.
“Since your territory has such technology, why don’t you choose to join the three super territories? They definitely have enough basic resources to support your research, and will use their strength to protect you at all costs. Even now, if you want to find me, you don’t have to waste time coming in person. Just one word will be enough.” Luo You thought for a while and said again.
“How do you know we didn’t join?” Su Mo asked with a smile.
Luo You was immediately shocked, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
There are indeed quite a few elite territories on the world channel, which are hybridized from many territories.
Could it be that Suma’s elite territory is actually the product of cooperation among the three major territories?
However, after seeing Su Mo’s playful expression, he realized that he had been fooled.
“Don’t think that every territory in the wasteland is independent. In fact, we have already established contact with the three major territories and reached cooperation.”
Su Mo emphasized, “But this does not mean that I want to join them. It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Have you heard that? I will give you a choice. Will you come to my territory to be the chief alien consultant and have the right to decide on all research related to aliens? Or will you go to the three major territories to be a small staff member of the research group and follow behind others?”
“Of course I’ll go to the three major territories. Which survivor would want to go to the Dragon Banner, the Golden Eagle, or the Northern Alliance? Not to mention being able to get a position there!”
Luo You wanted to take revenge on Su Mo for teasing him just now, but he regretted it after he said it.
What if Su Mo got angry and threw water on their family?
Fortunately, Su Mo was still smiling, without any unnecessary displeasure on his face.
“Really?”
“Fake.”
Luo You thought about it seriously and shook his head, “You are right. Some things do require cooperation to complete, such as industrial development and technological progress. But some things must also be completed independently.”
“If I were given a choice in researching aliens, I would rather do it on my own than to carry out some stupid tasks arranged by others.”
“now it’s right.”
Su Mo snapped his fingers. “I don’t want to be controlled by others, even if they can help me. I just want to study whatever I want, all according to my ideas. I want my subjects to not have to worry about food, so I will allocate all my scientific research power to food instead of giving it up for some other worries.”
“I don’t need others to deny my right or wrong. Everyone should follow their own path. Only successful people have the right to speak.”
Luo You narrowed his eyes. He felt that such a domineering declaration should not come from the mouth of such an ordinary middle-aged man in front of him.
If it were the human Su Shen who spoke, I’m afraid it would be convincing.
But then again, the man in front of him did have a unique personal charm, and was at least more courageous than the five territory lords he had met.
“I have one last question.”
“Go ahead.”
“who are you?”
“If I say I am Suma, will you believe me?”
Luo You suddenly laughed, stood up and patted Su Mo on the shoulder, feeling like he had met a soulmate.
“Why didn’t you just say you were Su Chui earlier? I’m Su Chui all the time!”
