My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

ing operation.

If the combine harvester had maintained the shape of the handmade shell from before, even if it could be operated, it would not last for long and its design limitations would impede the progress and efficiency of its output.

Looking at the current combine harvester, the upgrade process had done a very good job at this point.
Every joint and corner of the vehicle seemed to exude a sense of mechanical beauty.

“Its exterior looks magnificent, but I wonder how the driving and operating experience will be like?”

With a smile, Su Mo walked over, pulled open the door of the vehicle, which had a large “Su” character printed on it, and sat inside.

After adding the wolf skin that he had obtained from hunting, and the various materials he had found, although the driver’s cabin was not luxurious, it was a whole lot better than Earth Tiger’s barebones interior.

Among these, the two huge LCD dashboards on the central control panel of the harvester were the most attractive to Su Mo.

Whether it was Earth Tiger or King Kong, they were designed with the simplest and most extreme mechanical structure in mind, avoiding the addition of any electronic devices in the construction.

Although their design guaranteed durability in the wasteland, they also lost out in terms of technological augmentations and assistive aids that would have improved their functionality and ease of operation.

“Could it be that spending 5900 survival points resulted in the creation of a complete set of electronic control systems?”

Su Mo nervously sat in the driver’s seat.
As he fired up the combine harvester for the first time, turning the key, its engine began to rumble.

Boom!

Boom!

When the third rumble of ignition and combustion sounded, a cloud of thick black smoke was ejected from the unique single-cylinder diesel engine of the combine harvester, filling the garage with the strong smell of diesel.

Beep… beep… beep…

The ignition was complete, the battery was switched on, and the indicator on the dashboard started to rotate as it began its self-cheking process.
At the same time, the two huge LCD dashboard panels displayed a huge logo.

Su!

It was the same familiar Chinese character.
When the word Su appeared, the LCD dashboard also completed its self-checking process, and two brand new operation panels popped out.

“F*ck, it built a simple electronic control system for me.
Those 5900 points were well worth it!”

At present, there was no computer programming control system in the shelter, and no specific technology tree to expand the vehicle’s electronic system.
To complete a milestone leap at the expense of so little survival points was a huge gain.

Su Mo tried to control the panel’s functions with his fingers.
After a while, he finally understood the functions of the two dashboard panels.

The dashboard on the left was used to control the harvesting function.
After clicking on the button above to automatically lower the header, the front end of the crop divider would drop to a level 5-10cm above the surface of the field.
It could also control the harvesting speed.

When all this was set up, the dashboard would light up in green.
At this time, pushing the main gear lever would make the machine start harvesting.

The dashboard on the right was responsible for the subsequent collection functions.
At present, the grain receiving platform of the harvester was still in a vertical state.

Only once the entire platform was lowered down would the grain auger be pulled into the “open” position, and the grain bag would be hung on the grain bag hook.
The button on the dashboard could adjust the efficiency and direction of the collection.

With these two dashboards, it was possible for a single person to operate the combine harvester.

“Well, being able to control thing like this saves me a lot of trouble, but tomorrow’s harvest will still have to rely on manual labor.”

The garage space was not large.
After trying out the other functions on the control panel, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction and turned off the engine.

At the same time, the property panel of the combine harvester was displayed, revealing its true form.

[Micro Combine Harvester (Good)]

[Description: A combine harvester created based on a blueprint design by the unqualified mechanic “Su Mo”.
Although it is small, it has a complete set of functions.
All of its functions have been integrated into its semi-intelligent control system, and it can be used to good effect in the field of agriculture.]

[Harvesting efficiency: 20000㎡(30 mu)/60mins]

[Fuel consumption: 2666㎡(4 mu)/1L]

[Special Ability: Efficiency Conversion (Increasing its fuel consumption improves harvesting efficiency.
Every time its fuel consumption doubles, the harvesting efficiency also doubles, with an upper limit of three times.
The higher the magnification, the higher the probability of damage to the harvester.)]

[Comment: When overclocking…please remember to fill up its water tank!]

“One mu of land takes about two minutes to harvest.
While this speed is not slow, and not too different from the ordinary small combine harvesters on Earth, it is insufficient to harvest the 200 mu of land near the the Candlelight Shelter!”

If it retained its original rate of harvesting efficiency, a cycle of harvesting for 200 mu of land would take more than six hours.
He also had to factor in the time required to cool down the machinery to prevent overheating, which brought that number up to eight hours.

If there was no welfare disaster, this rate of harvesting efficiency would still be acceptable.
However, considering his plans for four or five planting cycles, this was clearly lacking.

“Currently, the diesel reserves in the base are not enough.
Even after I’ve upgraded the oil well, the amount is far from sufficient.
I have to find a way to get obtain diesel elsewhere.”

There were still 72 liters of diesel reserves in the shelter.
Once he collected tomorrow’s portion, he would have 90 liters, which was enough to use the combine harvester’s special ability once.

As for more higher multipliers, as well as the fuel consumption of his other machines, it would be too extravagant for him to rely on disaster points to acquire sufficient supply.

It might be a good choice to take out some materials to trade in the secret trading realm!
