Sun-Chaser Speedboat, Strong Enough To Push Through!
Along with the sound of the game alert, when Su Mo saw the purple celebratory interface with gold borders and a faint texture change, his expression was very peculiar.
As the senior ‘disaster-resistant’ figure walking ahead of everyone else at the forefront of mankind, this was the second time he had seen this.
Tracing back the first time, the timeline had to be moved back to two months ago, the day before the novice acid rain disaster arrived.
During that time, the Underground Shelter had been upgraded to stone and had a complete drain pipe. The game acknowledged that the chances of surviving the disaster were more than 99%.
Since that time, during the following snowstorm, welfare disaster, and even during the arrival of the ocean, it was as if this notification had vanished, never to be heard of again.
Now, with the catalysis of the medium-sized machine that did not belong to this stage, a change happened!
The Hope One did not have a 99% guarantee to survive the tsunami disaster, but the medium-sized machine did.
"Compared to my first prize draw, there’s now a ‘medium-level’ prefix.
"Let me see just what this good stuff is!"
With curiosity, Su Mo’s thought about it. He controlled his focus to select the records.
A seven-color wheel spinner that had not changed from before popped out, reflecting the light in the shining warehouse.
Unlike the prize item that popped out in the last prize draw, the wheel had one more area this time.
Looking at it, the wheel was divided into seven areas, which were: pets, blueprints, tools, props, instruments, transcendental blessings, and vehicles.
With the slow passage of time, the game was constantly updating the items that could be obtained in the prize draw according to the current situation.
After tapping a few areas on the wheel to check what the prizes inside were like, Su Mo did not hesitate any longer and firmly pressed the prize draw button.
Now, compared to the prizes in the first prize draw, the rarity balance of the items in the wheel had improved a lot.
However, there was no item that could compare to the Hope One or the medium-sized machine, the vertical launch module, or the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card.
Among all the prizes, the transcendental blessing, which was considered the best, only had a 0.00004% chance of drawing the worst blessing. The chances of drawing the best blessing were even more extreme.
In front of the ‘1’ digit, there were more than 30 zeroes. Just looking at it made one’s vision blur.
The vehicle prizes’, which there were many of, the best prize was merely an excellent-quality speedboat.
Even it only had a 0.006% chance of being drawn!
"At this stage, this kind of prize is alright for normal people. No matter what is drawn, it can increase their survival chances.
"But for me, most of this stuff isn’t worth the dust on my shoe!"
He smiled as he watched the needle slow down. Even when it passed the transcendental blessing, Su Mo did not worry and quietly waited for it to stop.
During this wait, Su Mo’s expression gradually turned odd.
Without him, it was like the game had sensed his thoughts.
The needle slowly went past all the areas and finally landed on the area of a vehicle that had newly appeared.
When it neared this vehicle, it looked like the needle had hit a great resistance and found it very difficult to keep moving. In dozens of seconds, with its final momentum, it moved past the rubbish vehicle prize in front and stopped at the vehicle…
Which was the best prize!

???
"Man, you’ve added on all this!"
Staring at the game as it acted like a broken record, upgrading the mere excellent-quality speedboat that he could do without all the way to epic-quality, a surprised joy appeared on Su Mo’s face!
"I never thought that I could actually draw an epic-quality item in a mere normal prize draw.
"Though I have the Hope One now and probably won’t use this speedboat for a while, I can still whip this out during critical moments for a great boost!"
Seeing the prize confirmation, Su Mo tutted with amazement as he tapped the switch on the prize draw panel.
Still, when the game sent out a prompt on whether he wanted to receive the speedboat, after he looked through its properties, Su Mo was in no hurry to receive it.
Though the special ability given by the epic quality of this speedboat called the Sun-chaser could not currently be seen, for its basic properties, it was marked that the speedboat was a full fifty feet long and thirteen feet wide.
It was also nearly twenty feet tall. Even on Earth, it would be considered a luxurious speedboat.
With the Hope One’s warehouse capacity, storing such a big guy was not a problem.
However, if he let it out now and wanted to use it later, he would have to face the problem of carefully taking it out of the warehouse.
"Drawing such a large item means that it can be kept in the game panel for 30 days. This is quite a blessing!
"In that case, I’ll keep it in there for now!"
He looked at the Sun-chaser speedboat in the game receival panel a little hungrily. However, when he thought about the big battle waiting for him, Su Mo quickly turned off the game panel and pulled his attention back.
At the moment, considering the Evil God beings behind the Five Royal Clans, the five R-3 ballistic missiles definitely had to be made.
The materials for the ballistic missiles, from the thermally-insulated casing to the energized warhead to the small missile-borne engine in the tail, were all gifts from the Fertile Soil God of the Ocean.
Even if they were the most basic materials, they were still excellent-quality, not bad at all.
With the machine tool strictly following the blueprint’s standards in the creation, there definitely would not be any problems.
However, to make the missile stronger—aside from these basic materials—the explosives that filled the warhead could not be ignored, either.
Even so, the Fertile Soil God of the Ocean did not have any of these explosives’ materials in stock, so it was up to Su Mo to think of a way.
"There are still plenty of raw materials on the Hope One at the moment. With a workbench, I can continue configuring explosives.
"But if I want to maximize the power of each missile, I will have to dismantle some of the cannonballs from the Annihilator!"
Upon debugging the medium-sized machine tool’s menu and making a few selections, Su Mo gradually grew familiar with using the machine tool.
Unlike the small machine tool, once this was upgraded to its current medium size, the entire machine tool had developed a somewhat ‘saucy operation’ unexplainable by modern technology.
Even for the R-3 ballistic missiles—after providing enough material, the machine tool could mold and form it in one go and store it in its own output area.
As for equipping the R-3 ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads, the Hope One did not have the conditions nor power necessary.
Hence, after inputting these five missiles’ basic materials, the only way for Su Mo to meet the missiles’ final requirement was…
Be strong enough to push through!
He used even more of the TNT strengthened by psychic energy water to strengthen the warheads’ lethality, trying to use quantity to make up for the difference in quality.
Even if the Five Royal Clans’ Evil God was even stronger than the Heavenly Dog Pseudo God, he could still increase his power by having the system use up some survival points.
Having clarified the idea, Su Mo did not dawdle any longer. He hurried back to the place he stored the cannonballs and called the foreign race soldiers to start "dismantling the cannonball".
The foreign race soldiers were quite happy with this kind of manual labor.
Aside from Moore continuously protesting at one side, in just four hours, 500 cannonballs had been dismantled, and the explosives inside sent to the machine tool’s materials area.
Compared to the missiles of the civilized era, because of the rare-quality bomb engine as well as the vertical launch module’s addition, the R-3 would have even stronger load capacity and power.
Based on the current data calculation, the future missiles’ take-off weight would reach 69.8 tons, and the payload would also reach a terrifying 6.6 tons!
However, this…
Was still not enough!
As a Huaxian who had the fear of firepower engraved into his DNA, while the foreign races busied themselves, Su Mo did not remain idle either.
On the workbench, four mechanics had started moving and started creating the TNT wave by wave according to the process,
Su Mo did not plan to be frugal with the raw materials. After planning out the explosives for the bazooka, the rest were basically all put into the R-3 missiles.
Su Mo was not the slightest bit stingy even with the psychic energy water, filling it up to the max!
With this addition, even if they were really up against a nuclear bomb of the same weight, there would still be a gap as large as the space between the skies and the ground between them. However, compared to the previous Dongfeng-17 equipped with conventional warheads, these were much stronger!
With this preparation, as his eyes fixed onto the medium-sized machine tool, a notification finally popped up saying that the five missiles would need 48 hours to create. After it entered the creation phase, hearing the OS announce it was 7 o’clock at night, Su Mo released a long breath and returned to the main deck.
At that time, the outside world’s sky had gradually darkened, and the sun had also fallen below the horizon.
Because the moon had not yet fully climbed up into the sky, aside from the sound of waves lapping, the entire wasteland ocean looked deep and frightening.
However, no matter how the outer world and environment changed, Su Mo deeply understood that…
From now on, across the entire wasteland ocean, no matter where each human had come from, they would all be entering the final sprint.
Moreover, the preparation time for this final sprint would not be too long. They were left with the final…
55 hours!
