mponents and structures were extremely difficult to construct, and the wasteland’s surroundings could not accommodate it.
What was left for Su Mo was the slipway method.

The slipway method was categorized into three different options.

The first option was the same one that Hope One was using, which was to reverse into the water.

The warship was constructed on the dock with the stern facing the sea.

When the water level was high enough, at the right angle, the fenders would open.

Then, the ship would be able to slide down slowly along the slope that was built prior to that.
This option would produce a large amount of buoyant force and could prevent the rudder, propeller, and other components from being broken in the process of sliding the ship down.

The second option was the “side glide”.
This was riskier than the reverse option.

The warship was built on the dock, and a short sideways slope was built on the ships’ side.
Then, a force on the other side would be exerted onto the ship.

Due to the nature of gravity, the warship would glide along the slope into the water and would rely on the hull’s buoyancy to correct its position automatically after entering the water.

This way would easily cause damage to the shape of the hull and also the above-mentioned components.
This was why this option demanded an extremely high level of quality when it came to the design and workmanship of the warship, and this option was usually favored for use on smaller warships.

The last way was the ‘swinging’ option.
Since it did not have any prerequisites, it was completely disregarded by Su Mo.

Of the three options, Su Mo had chosen the ‘reverse’ options because it presented the least risks.

Despite that it was not totally risk-free.

If the water from wasteland’s ocean disaster would not come the same way as the flood previously, which was by the water coming in from afar, but instead water would rise up from the ground, elevating the sea level, then under the factor of constant buoyancy, the ‘reverse way’ would lose its advantage and cause the entire boat to be stuck at the shore, and it would eventually… Topple over!

“According to the calculation models, I need to wait for the sea level to reach 3m before I can turn the lever on for the ship to tilt, and wait until the sea level is 5m to activate the sloped slipway.”

“Before all these could happen, the water in the hull should not exceed 2m, or the sliding angle of the ship will likely cause more problems.”

“If there were any mistakes that occurred, the propelling strength of Hope One would mean that being stuck on the shore would not be a huge problem, but toppling over would be!”

In the talisman simulation world, Hope One had already been simulated, but the generator slot was still empty.

As Su Mo quickly made his way to the engine room through a secret passageway from the bridge, he took out a liter of psychic energy water and poured it into the generator.
After all these steps, Su Mo was left with 20 minutes till the disaster.

In these twenty minutes, Su Mo needed to get the following done:

He needed to first turn on the main switch and activate the autopilot system.
He also needed to turn on the fire-control radar to examine the scanning data, activate the operating system to manage the data from the various ship devices, check the other switches around the entire ship, close off the passageways that led downward from the main deck, as well as 37 other major and minor things to do.

If he had to do it alone, it would have been impossible for Su Mo to finish every single task, even if he was ten times more efficient.

Fortunately, the four robot workers that were fixing the ship were not considered living beings, and they provided significant assistance to Su Mo.

After entrusting the ship-related tasks to the robotic workers, Su Mo made his way to the third floor and turned on the fire-control radar of Hope One.

After five seconds of waiting, the radar started to beep slowly.
Then, Su Mo went back to the first floor and turned on the system to receive data from the radars.

It was Su Mo’s first time starting up the entire ship, and even though Su Mo’s actions seemed a little awkward and lacked finesse, he had the form down, and it made him look like a trained captain!

The training and information did not come from the system, but rather from the transmission of knowledge when he used the destroyer’s blueprint design, as well as his intimate knowledge of Hope One’s construction and design.

Based on this knowledge, Su Mo fiddled around with the controls, turned on all the switches, and watched the program he so painstakingly coded to come to life.

In the program he coded, Su Mo was daring enough to include the majestic name of the ‘Huaxian Water God’, a name derived from a favorite word of the Huaxians, which was ‘auspicious’.

The image depicted in the operating system was from the famed fairytale of a demigod knocking down a mountain that, in actuality, was a pillar that propped up the skies!

“Operating system Water God has successfully launched.
The transmission of data from the radar has been successfully received!”

“Transmission of data completed.
Model analysis activated, connecting with the launching protocol…”

“Hope One 3D model structure building is successful!”

“Hope One model structure building within a 500m perimeter is successful!”

“Slide launching switch checked.
Sloped slipway activation switch checked.”

“Hope One: all power-related switches checked…”

“Hope One: all machinery-related switches checked.”

“Error report 351.
Robot number two, please take note.
Robot number two, please head to the drainage room on the third floor to check the switch!”

“Error report 669.
Robot number four, please take note.
Robot number four, please bring tools to the right-wing obstacle detecting radar to fix the ossies.”

This was the first time Su Mo was activating the operating system fully on Hope One and he certainly did not expect so many error reports to pop up even before he went out to sea.

These problems did not occur while they had undergone their previous simulated tests.

When it came to the actual activation, devices, signals and data overlapped with each other since they were interconnected, which caused problems to occur.

Su Mo looked at the remaining sixteen minutes on the clock and ordered the four robots to finish what they needed to do.
Su Mo, who was initially sitting in the bridge, was forced to exit to help them with the repairs and fixes as well.

Fortunately, the problems that arose were minor problems.
Also, the robots worked pretty quickly.

By the time Su Mo rectified some errors on the deck and returned to the bridge, the other robots were already done with their fixes as well.

“Four minutes left.
Phew… Fortunately, everything was still completed within the timeframe!”

“We can’t wait anymore.
Restart the checking process, quickly!”

“Water God operating system relaunching tests…”

After receiving a flurry of inputs from Su Mo’s fingers on the keyboard, the operating system activated the final round of checks.

Three minutes left: Checking progress at 23%, no errors as of now.

Two minutes left: Checking progress at 69%, the green indicator lights are all still on.

One minute left: Checking progress at 92%, still no error reports as of now!

22 seconds…

When Su Mo saw that all the green lights were illuminated, and that the Water God operating system had successfully transitioned into its launching protocol, he did not wait any longer and scrambled out of the bridge.

Time was of the essence but, fortunately, Hope One was built on firm foundations.
At the very last minute, the program was launched!

In the last twenty seconds, Su Mo quickly made his way to the bow, and the fourth disaster on the wasteland finally…

Kicked off with a bang!
