My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1474
[1465. Chapter 1442: How to break the impasse, deadline in May!]
The first batch of commercial and cargo ships and military vessels that came out of the shipyard were all made of very good shipbuilding materials, but they lacked the advanced technology used in other places.
The most obvious example is that among these ships, except for the command ship, the other ships do not even have radars.
This means that if the ship encounters underwater enemies or reefs, it is easy for the ship to be destroyed and people to die.
Now with the technical assistance provided by Su Mo, the shipyard can complete the basic iteration in less than half a month.
By then, the performance of the second-generation ships will definitely far exceed that of the first-generation, and will continue to maintain an absolute leading level over other areas of the wasteland.
“The Institute has recently expanded its enrollment to a considerable extent, right?”
Thinking that Uncle Li’s daughter’s blind date last night turned out to be a researcher at the research institute, Su Mo couldn’t help but ask again.
In the past, how could more than 200 researchers have the time to go out for blind dates? Apart from eating and sleeping, they basically spend the rest of their time on the project. Even going to the toilet has to be done on time.
“Yes, the scale has indeed expanded a lot recently. Now, including the intern researchers who are undergoing assessment, there are nearly 1,200 researchers in the institute, and the second branch of the institute is also under construction.”
Lu Kuan put down the information, sat aside and called out the map.
Compared with the original institute with only dozens of people, the scale of the institute has now expanded again and again.
The influx of a large number of foreign population has successfully screened out many outstanding talents to supplement the research system.
At present, there are more than thirty teams of various sizes responsible for energy stone research, with a total number of nearly four hundred people.
Su Mo is quite looking forward to this.
After all, even when the Tianyuan Research Institute in the Future Ruins was at its peak, the number of people was only over 2,000.
At that time, there were seven departments studying different directions of technology. It took a lot of time just to reproduce from scratch some technologies that had long been developed by humans.
How could it be the same as it is now? Su Mo directly brought these technologies out of his mind and made detailed materials, and could not help but write down the principles and reproduction methods clearly.
This is truly standing on the shoulders of giants.
“I don’t have any other instructions for you. You can arrange the research projects, but be careful when recruiting researchers to make sure no one with ulterior motives gets in.”
“Um.”
In fact, with Zero watching nearby, people with ulterior motives will be screened as high-risk groups in a few days or three.
At that time, Lu Kuan would not need to take any action, as the town’s Security Bureau would naturally send people to conduct manual risk inspections.
As long as there are real problems found,…
Tsk tsk, using severe punishments in troubled times can only mean that the means of treating the enemy are very cruel.
“besides.”
Su Mo sat up straight, thinking that the technological survival points could not be used in the Boulder Territory, so it would be a waste to leave them there.
“Prepare a table for me tonight and submit all the projects that the research institute has not been able to solve recently. Be careful not to submit useless projects. It would be best if they can be solved in a short period of time and bring great help to the territory.”
“Is it coming again?”
Lu Kuan became more excited.
When Su Mo first used technology points to help enlighten inspiration, a group of people thought that they had accumulated enough. But after doing it more times, everyone communicated with each other privately and immediately found the problem.
Although that kind of strange inspiration came without any basis, the process everyone went through was exactly the same.
“That’s all I can do to help.”
Su Mo added: “It still depends on how hard you work. The harder you work and the more difficulties you overcome, the more help I can provide, and vice versa.”
Because of the trade sanctions, the points that the Stone Territory can obtain have been decreasing recently.
He planned to stay in the territory tonight and wait until eight o’clock tomorrow to reap the points accumulated recently in Tianyuan Territory.
However, it is foreseeable that many points have been lost over time.
For those that can be preserved for a long time, I don’t know if they can fill up half of the technology survival point spheres.
That night, Su Mo slept very soundly.
The ventilation and dehumidification conditions in the two places are completely different. Even though the stone house arranged by Lao Zhang has been facing the sun as much as possible and built in the best ventilated position, the continuous rain has made the room so humid that water almost drips.
In the underground city, good ventilation conditions can keep the humidity at around 60%.
Soft quilt, dry environment.
Perhaps it was because all the technologies had been copied, or perhaps it was because the territory was developing so well that people no longer had to worry, Su Mo was rarely dreaming.
No words were spoken that night.
Early in the morning.
Although Qiao Yuansheng promised him not to make a big fuss, he still asked the canteen to prepare some delicious dishes in the name of rewarding everyone during the autumn harvest.
Then he ordered his confidants to divide these delicacies into several batches and send them to the underground city.
Because the dungeon also has an office space, no one cares if there are a few more or fewer copies.
Su Mo ate a whole meal, which was rare, and satisfied his appetite.
At eight o’clock, the daily report was refreshed. As I had been away from the territory for a long time, the points I had harvested were indeed not many.
Among them, technological survival points accounted for as much as 67%, and the other three items, namely special survival points, accounted for the most, 40%.
There are two remaining items, one 5% and the other 8%, which I will not mention.
“Sure enough, the less I participate, the fewer points I provide, and it has little to do with scale.”
Su Mo verified the conjecture again.
Take the special survival points as an example. According to common sense, the more people there are, the more incense they provide. At present, even if each of the 600,000 people provides 0.1 point, it can instantly fill up the special magic ball hundreds of times.
But in fact, the system’s requirements for this are very strict, and there are no loopholes left to increase points.
He must be deeply involved in something and have an impact before he can eventually find a way to survive.
Otherwise, the territories of the three royal families will be directly enclosed within the harvesting range, and hundreds of millions of people will be free in no time.
“It seems that Tianyuan Territory has no chance at all. From now on, we will just have to follow the routine and do the slow work. We can provide even fewer points.”
According to the list provided by Lu Kuan, Su Mo distributed all the technology points evenly according to their importance.
In fact, if the route tickets issued in the previous game can be used now, it can also bring certain help to the territory.
But unfortunately, only the lord is qualified to operate this thing.
Once there is any change in the route of the territory, the alien races who are monitoring outside will definitely notice it.
“Speaking of which, why do I feel more and more like I’m competing wits and courage with the air?”
Su Mo pondered secretly.
Was he being too cautious, and the alien race didn’t care whether he jumped out of the special space or not?
Or did ‘Wei’ leak out the fact that he had already left the special space when he told the alien gods that this was the last game session?
“Master, you are right to be cautious.”
“The Great Prophet of the Fishman Village?”
Su Mo thought about it, and then it suddenly occurred to him that the Great Prophet’s ability might really be used to detect alien races.
Although we may not be able to see what will happen specifically, we should still be able to calculate the movements of the alien races.
“Did he say anything else?”
“No, but I asked Moore to test your whereabouts, and he tried, but found nothing.”
Of course nothing.
Even Wei couldn’t break through the protective shield provided by the system, let alone the fishman’s mediocre skills.
“That’s good. There are only five months left in the six-month buffer period. Regardless of whether it works in the end, I will just not show up for five months. It won’t be a problem.”
Su Mo felt relieved and then opened the territory panel to take a look.
He had accumulated quite a few territory points in recent times, more than 600 in total, all of which he had added to the territory potential to improve soil fertility and resource quality.
Although this improvement is not easy to detect, the help it brings is real.
In addition, Su Mo observed that the most urgent need of the new batch of people joining the Tianyuan territory was a large amount of work.
Work starts at 8 am and ends at 12 noon.
One hour for lunch.
From 1pm to 9pm, a total of twelve hours of work could not satisfy the new subjects’ sense of security.
They longed to work fourteen, fifteen, or even sixteen hours a day just to settle down in the new district faster, own a house of their own, and accumulate enough supplies to survive the winter.
“Other places force survivors to work fifteen hours a day, causing a lot of complaints. I didn’t expect these people to be willing to work overtime until this long. I can only say that they are too greedy!”
Su Mo would naturally not issue an order to increase working hours, as this would be tantamount to draining the pond to catch fish.
As for how to solve this problem, he believed that Qiao Yuansheng should have already come up with a solution and the results would be seen soon.
It’s time to go.
Su Mo took a greedy look at the familiar furnishings around him, his mind moved, and his figure slowly disappeared in the room.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the stone house in the boulder territory.
The sky brightened.
Su Mo opened the curtains, and a ray of bright light immediately shone in, clearing away the darkness in the room.
After a week of continuous rain, the southern plate finally welcomed the long-awaited sunny day.
As the sun shone through, the hot feeling seemed to seep in through the window cracks.
One level platform.
The cleared space was covered with straw mats, on which rice and grains were spread out to dry.
Many new residents stopped nearby to watch, their eyes full of longing and peace of mind.
It is very easy for Lao Zhang to block the news that the Stone Territory’s foreign trade has been obstructed during this period. He only needs to give a few reminders to the relevant guards. Ordinary people cannot go out and naturally do not know the news from the outside world.
However, he did the opposite. He started to lower the price from the first day in the Tyrael Territory, and spread the news throughout the territory, deliberately creating a panic.
In the middle, there was indeed a small group who had already joined the Stone Territory, but those who were secretly changing their minds were screened out.
Lao Zhang found an excuse to drive these people away, and then took out the inventory under the pretext of drying it to demonstrate his strength.
The effect was indeed very good. After the panicked residents discovered that the stored supplies were enough to survive the winter, they instantly united against a common enemy.
Even if someone wants to forcibly take these people away, they themselves will not be willing.
“Old Zhang is a really talented guy. It was a good choice to choose him as the lord of the Giant Stone Territory.”
Those who teach history may not know how to innovate, but learning from the methods of their predecessors is worth two times as much as one.
Su Mo looked through the window for a while, then opened the window and breathed in a breath of the slightly hot air. Then he changed his mind and went back to the table to think of a way to break the deadlock.
The current dilemma is that the disadvantages of the Stone Territory are too obvious, and it has been used as a handle by others.
Even if some individual territories knew about the transactions during this period, it would be useless since the boulders had already been exchanged for enough food.
Since everyone thinks you are short of food, then even if you are not short of food, you will still be “short”.
Therefore, the first step to be taken is to change the perception of the Stone Territory among those outsiders.
Just like what Lao Zhang is doing now, just move all the food in the warehouse out and display it brightly.
Since everyone has seen and touched it with their own eyes, they will naturally not doubt other things.
In addition, there is a more violent method.
As long as they could get a very substantial grain order, even if it was just a blank check, it would be enough to completely dispel the unnecessary thoughts of the surrounding territories.
Of course, the party who issues the bad check must be of a high enough level.
At the very least, it must be superior to these surrounding territories, only then will it be effective, otherwise it will still cause doubts.
“Who should I look for? After thinking about it, the only one who is qualified is the Golden Eagle.”
Su Mo wanted to ask Tianyuan Territory to send a transaction order directly, but after thinking about it carefully, there were indeed too many things that didn’t make sense in this behavior.
First of all, Tianyuan transported so much food from the central plate all the way here just to trade some medicines with low technical value?
The medicines of Jushi can only be said to be of good quality and low price at best, but how can they be of this level?
Furthermore, even if the surrounding small territories are actually capable of producing medicines, the cost price cannot be lowered, so it is better to buy than to produce by themselves, so they need to purchase the products of Giant Stone.
“If we let the Golden Eagle take action, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention. What a trouble!”
Of two evils, choose the lesser one.
If you can give out the answers to the questions you had in your hands, you will have the opportunity to meet the questioner face to face.
Su Mo was confident that he could talk to the other party and achieve his goal with the help of the building bubble.
But in that case, if the other party thinks about it carefully afterwards, he or she will inevitably find it a little strange.
If they are thoroughly investigated, the secrets of the Stone Territory will no longer be kept.
“Wait a little longer. If there is no connecting flight in two days, I will go and give it a try. Otherwise, it is not a good idea to just wait like this.”
Suma made up his mind.
As long as we can overcome this biggest disadvantage of the Stone Territory, a turning point will naturally appear immediately.
