My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

After spending the survival points, a blurry green light spread out, as if sensing the presence of outsiders.
This time, the upgrade process was a very gentle one.

Under the sunlight at four o’clock in the afternoon, the green light was like a visitor from outer space, gently attaching itself to every piece of scaffolding and the control panel like a dream.

After five minutes, as the green light vibrated, the control panel that was previously simple began to transform slightly; the colors on it changed drastically.

The grey and black rust faded away, replaced by a silver-grey color that exuded a high-tech feel, complete with three matching connecting screens; it was a sight to behold.

The manually-controlled mechanical lever had transformed into something that resembled a glove.

As for the scaffolding, there seemed to be tiny tentacles growing on them, which were to ensure that the system could control every part of the structure in a timely and efficient manner.

The transformation process was a slow one, but Su Mo was not anxious.
Halfway through, he even went to Hope VIllage to inspect their progress, and brought back his dinner in passing.

Now that Hope VIllage had been officially established under a complete system of governance, the villagers had high levels of enthusiasm.

Furthermore, with the assistance of various equipment and tools, along the way up the mountain pathway, a few small platforms had been cleared out.

A few of these small platforms were covered with a thin layer of soil, and were planted with garlic, chilli, and other such vegetables that did not require much nutrients to grow.

Some of the platforms were made into a distillation area in preparation to obtain distilled freshwater during the upcoming ocean disaster.

As for the high ground where everyone would be staying at, there had not been much progress.
They were still waiting for the consigned architecture drawing plans to be delivered.

“When the drawing plans arrive, let me take a look at them.
You can continue construction work after I make sure that there are no problems with them.”

Su Mo called for Chen Shen and, after giving him a few instructions, he looked at the flourishing Hope Village and nodded his head in satisfaction.
He dawdled on the way down the mountain as he traveled back to the Underground Shelter.

The advantages of clearing out all the enemies in his surroundings back then were clearly shown now.

These twenty days before the ocean disaster arrived, and before heading to the new continent, were precious and peaceful for Hope Village and the Underground Shelter to farm and develop.

They only needed to develop properly within these twenty days to avoid being left in quandary when the time came to head to the new continent.

On the other side, the shipyard’s gradual transformation process, which had gone on for about one and half hours, was finally coming to an end.

There was a layer of sky blue protective lacquer that covered the scaffolding, as the blurry green mist spread itself out.

When it had first been constructed, it looked like an off-brand shipyard due to the incomplete modules installed.
After the transformation, it began to exude a futuristic aura.

“Tsk, tsk, the protective lacquer doesn’t smell.
It dries fast, and is waterproof.
If I can get my hands on this formula in the future, it would make a great coating for the Underground Shelter!”

Su Mo touched the painted structure as he took a step into the “shabby” control room, and was surprised by what he saw.

The previous control room had an open-air design that provided no sense of security.

After the transformation, large glass panels covered the four walls of the room, which provided him a complete view of the shipyard through the glass.

Moreover, the thoughtful system even attached a 60-inch LCD screen that was attached from the top right corner of the room.

As Su Mo fired up the power supply, an overview image appeared on the LCD screen immediately.

The corresponding camera was attached to the highest part of the scaffolding, facing downward.

Via the overview image, which covered the entire shipyard, Su Mo could fully observe the construction progress within the shipyard, and could also see some of the steel plates that he had partially assembled earlier.

The image was not fixed and could be manually adjusted in terms of zoom and camera angle in order to observe specific details.

As for the previously unresponsive main system, it currently displayed the blueprint of a seafaring ship that was available to be imported for production.

Su Mo tried to tap on the screen and, after importing the blueprint, an interface that detailed the new manufacturing method appeared on the screen.

“It’s a new sea ship with a total of six modules.
Three manufacturing options are provided.”

“First option, leaving the entire construction process to the shipyard.
Consumes the most energy and computing power.
Based on its level of efficiency, at least fifteen days are required to complete the hull, and twenty-two days to manufacture and install the parts.
It’s too slow and, most importantly, no special attributes can be obtained when using the shipyard construction process.”

“Second option, manual construction, utilizing only the shipyard’s mechanical tools and equipment.
The shipyard now has more functions and facilities after being upgraded, which makes it easier than before.
Still, it will consume a lot of time and effort and, given my lack of skill and expertise, although this option has the highest probability of obtaining special attributes, when all things are considered, it’s not cost effective.”

“In that case, that leaves me with the third option of human-machine collaboration!”

While modular technology was powerful and advanced, it still required human input and operation to achieve the best results.
It was unknown whether this was an intentional design by the inventor of this technology or if it just happened to turn out this way.

WIth the human-machine collaboration, Su Mo would need to manually perform the cutting and welding operations, while the shipyard’s system would handle the finer details regarding parts and installation.

Not only would this increase the project’s efficiency significantly, it would also increase the probability of obtaining special attributes.

After Su Mo finished his dinner, his energy had recovered to its peak state.
He then activated the Mind Ring and focused his efforts, speeding up production efficiency substantially.

He had to rush to complete this before nine o’clock at night.
After much effort, the 200 pieces of steel plates he produced on the first day were finally in place according to the ship’s blueprint design.

Even if this only comprised one twenty-fifth of the eighty-meter long ship, it was a shocking enough sight to behold.

After Su Mo exhausted all his energy, he was unable to exert himself further to inspect the ship’s structure.

After he locked the door of the shipyard, and told Chen Shen some important matters, he went back to the shelter.
Su Mo laid down on the bed and immediately fell asleep.

However, despite the fact that Su Mo had instructed everyone not to look for him unless it was something important, it was destined that he would be unable to rest well that night.

Four o’clock at night, the game panel’s notification prompt rang rapidly and, after Su Mo opened the game panel, a message from Zhong QIngshu popped out.

“The ruins near the Underground Shelter are about to appear!”
