“This time, regarding the seeds required for planting by the Tundra Shelter, I, Su Mo, will cover all of it!”

Generous!

Lavish!

It was a statement made by a rich man. In the Doomsday world, it was no less domineering than showcasing your country’s all-encompassing weapons and military equipment!

In the entire wasteland, even the seed merchants did not have such courage to say such words!

The shocking words still hung in the air. After three to five seconds, Lu Yongyi finally awakened from his dumbfounded state.

This time, he did not care about keeping up appearances, nor about managing his expression.

On Lu Yongyi’s face, he saw an expression of shock and disbelief that could not be concealed.

Beside him, Shen Ke also covered her mouth, looking as if she had lost her soul.

“Cover all of it!?!?”

“Great courage!”

“Mr. Su Mo! Do you know how many people there are in our Tundra Shelter, and how many mu of land has been plowed?”

“But do go into the details!”

Seeing Lu Yongyi’s expression, Su Mo chuckled from the bottom of his heart. However, he could not help but have a certain understanding of the strength of the official shelters on the wasteland.

From a certain perspective, after a month of development, official shelters may not have performed as well as private shelters.

There were many people, but few soldiers.

There were many mouths to feed, and the material reserves were small.

This resulted in even the current Candlelight Shelter’s condition being more comfortable than the state the Tundra Shelter was in.

“The Tundra Shelter has a total population of 292 people, and a total of 108 mu of arable land has been plowed!”

“A total of 11 animals can be fed and bred.”

“In addition to tomorrow, in just a day, the Tundra Shelter can plow up 20 mu of land.”

“During the three days of the welfare disaster, we can cultivate two planting cycles! The seeds needed for this are an unimaginable astronomical number!”

After some pause, Lu Yongyi’s eyes were wide. He slowly recited the heavy numbers in his heart.

As he mentioned every large number, Lu Yongyi tried his best to speak slowly and clearly.

He wanted to see the fluctuations on Su Mo’s face as he said the numbers to judge Su Mo’s bottom line.

However…

In Shen Ke’s eyes, not only did the confidence on Su Mo’s face not diminish, but there was even a smile on his face?

“Leader Lu, don’t worry. Don’t be so serious. With so few people, I can cover all the seeds the shelter requires. This is not a problem.”

Shaking his head and looking at the two people who were stunned senseless in the camera, Su Mo kept on speaking, “But I am not providing you with all the seeds to plant so many fields at once…”

“I can provide you with excellent-quality spring wheat seeds sufficient to plant one mu of land.”

“It only takes four hours from germination to harvest, which will produce enough seeds to cultivate all the remaining fields for the second cycle of planting. As for how many cycles of planting that come after, that depends on your efficiency and speed!”

Excellent-quality…

Four hours…

Efficiency and speed…

Different from Lu Yongyi’s accented large numbers. Su Mo’s simple assessment of the situation seemed to deal a shocking blow to them, instantly destroying the “fragile” line of defense between the two parties on the screen.

Lu Yongyi’s face began to tremble uncontrollably, and his mouth seemed to have lost control, convulsing continuously.

“Mr… Mr. Su Mo, this deal…”

“Don’t worry, since I agreed to the price, I’ve given my word!”

Su Mo waved his hand and looked at the two shellshocked people on the screen. Su Mo smiled resignedly. They discussed the details of the follow-up deal in a daze.

Tundra Shelter sent over all the blueprints in advance. After Su Mo’s initial inspection was completed, he would provide 20 kilograms of excellent-quality spring wheat seeds for planting tomorrow as scheduled.

As he was speaking, Su Mo also gave a detailed description of the attributes of the excellent-quality seeds.

When they heard about the average yield rate of 1800 catties per mu, the two looked completely dumbfounded. Su Mo then hung up and ended the video call.

Beep beep beep…

The beeping tone after the video call echoed back and forth through the central wooden house in the Tundra Shelter.

The screen was black, and the game panel had disappeared.

However, the two of them, including Lu Yongyi, were still dumbfounded. They did not seem to have recovered from the shock, It was as if 500 million yuan had just fallen from the sky.

Even Lu Yongyi, after being distressed for countless days and nights, seemed to feel his comprehension of reality fragmented by Su Mo’s words.

This fragmentation of reality was not destructive, but rather a restructuring of his understanding of this world. In a sense, it had been reborn!

Looking at the still-dark sky outside, Lu Yongyi almost felt as if dawn had arrived and a sense of impatience began to arise in his heart, urgently awaiting the arrival of the following day.

Seeing that Shen Ke on the side was still entranced, like an old father, Lu Yongyi stretched out his big hand, which was rough and full of calluses, and touched Shen Ke’s head.

“Sergeant Shen Ke, it’s time to perform your duty!”

Awakened by Lu Yongyi, Shen Ke quickly recovered. She performed a salute in panic and rushed out vigorously.

The long nights in the wasteland were still long.

The darkness in humankind’s lives continued.

However, looking at the fading shadow of Shen Ke outside the window, and looking at a small box on the table, Lu Yongyi’s face was covered in emotions, as he put his hand on the box.

“Xinghuo, it seems that this time, I won’t have to accompany you just yet.”

“With the existence of someone like Su Mo, the flame of Huaxia will never be cut off in this desperate wasteland!”

Touching the outline of the simple wooden box, Lu Yongyi’s eyes became firm once again and, at the same time, a decisive look surfaced. He shouted, “Assemble all the guards who are not on duty in the shelter, I have new instructions!”

“Go!”

“Yes, leader!” The guard outside the door responded, and the sound of his rapid footsteps leaving the house disappeared into the distance.

Watching the figure leave, he pushed the box to the corner of the table’s drawer. He picked up the pistol in the drawer, and adjusted the clothes on his body, Lu Yongyi then strode out of the room!

…

…

“Rotary tiller, combine harvester, forklift, sprinkler, flour grinder, cutter, road roller.”

The seven blueprint designs were like a chant in his mouth, as they slowly appeared after being delivered from the trading channel.

Helping the Tundra Shelter to overcome their difficulties and to accumulate enough food and supplies to deal with the flood disaster was also, in a way, helping his sister. This would help make her life better before he could go over to the Tundra Shelter when the flood disaster struck.

However, outside of this, there were so many unexpected gains.

“The harvester, the rotary tiller, and the flour grinder, these three must be built quickly. The rest can be put on hold first!”

His survival points were limited, and prioritizing the equipment that would provide the highest increase in productivity was the best policy at present.

Su Mo put the other four blueprints into the storage space. Looking at the three blueprints left on the table, Su Mo summoned the system to begin the scanning process

.

According to Su Mo’s requirements, these three blueprints did not specify the engine model data and the various precision small parts.

Simple and concise, according to the various parameters on the blueprint designs, the things created were empty shells that could only be seen and not be moved.

This was also the main reason why, in just half an hour, the Tundra Shelter managed to collect seven blueprints.

After scanning the blueprints with the system, and confirming that there were no problems with their attributes, Su Mo began to build them according to the annotations with confidence.

Of the three machines, the parts of the combine harvester were the most difficult to deal with.

In 1831, McCormick designed and produced the first combine harvester that was towed by two horses.

Its harvesting efficiency exceeded that of a human laborer by 30 times, which was a breakthrough in the development of the combine harvester.

50 years later, Best designed and manufactured the first self-propelled combine harvester driven by a steam engine.

This was a historic leap forward for combine harvesters and one of the important steps in the introduction of machinery in agriculture.

This kind of combine harvester could harvest more than 50 hectares of farmland in one day.

Since then, self-propelled combine harvesters, driven by internal combustion engines, had become a staple in the agricultural industry.

It was exactly this model of combine harvester that was recorded on the blueprint design in front of Su Mo.

“Feeding wheel, threshing device, draft wheel, separation device, grain cleaning screen, fan…”

There were big secrets hidden in the small blueprint design.

He put the other two design drawings aside.

Su Mo walked outside the shelter and, after collecting some iron blocks, Su

Mo sat down began to study the construction of the combine harvester.

It was fine that the tools on the workbench could not be used to shape and connect the larger components, as the system could complete those functions simply by paying “a small amount” of survival points.

Based on the initial design, Su Mo was like a hardworking bee, producing every iron plate and transporting it up to the first floor of the shelter.

After paying a sum survival points, the two iron plates on the ground began to bond, gradually forming a whole, uniquely-shaped, plate.

Su Mo busied himself working on the project until it was almost midnight. When the last iron plate had bonded together by the system, the behemoth in front of him had already begun to take shape.

“Wow, master made himself a magical carriage?”

Looking at the combine harvester that was about the same height as King Kong, Moore, who was sitting at the side and appreciating the whole process, exclaimed sincerely with a gaping jaw.

Except for the missing engine and detailed parts inside, its appearance was quite impressive.

Su Mo felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment when he stepped on the step bar and hopped into the driver’s seat of the combine harvester.

“This is the greatness of technology, and it can be created by simple manual labor!”

He admired the machinery he had made himself for awhile, and then leaped onto the ground with a spring in his step.

Looking at the empty shell in front of him, Su Mo began to focus mentally, summoning the system as he forced his imagination to think of it as a real combine harvester.

Buzz…

Buzz…

After being summoned, the system scanned the combine harvester at high speed. After three to five seconds, a brand new attribute panel was displayed!

“Sure enough, such an upgrade will save you ‘money’ when compared to creation!”

Su Mo clenched his fists and looked at the attributes displayed by the system, he was extremely excited.
