“You mean the boiler we made before has transformed into a machine that can continuously absorb energy because of some special catalysis of the energy stone and convert things into another substance?”

“Are you sure about this, Su Mo? Can this thing really absorb basic energy and convert it into another substance?

“That is simply impossible! It violates the basic law of matter substitution! Referring to the second law of thermodynamics, the active process of the most fundamental component of the matter is the increase of quark entropy. The logical process of quark entropy increase is one-way and irreversible, which is why there is a logical sequence. To be able to achieve this kind of division of the logic process, we must use a tool to measure the progress with logic—time. Tell me, can the energy stone affect time to a certain extent?

“Additionally, time is just a system that we have formulated and can’t be applied to all substances…”

“Let me try it. Go ahead and burn me in it. I want to see how this thing can reshape time!”

“…”

The scientific researchers surrounded the sphere-shaped boiler.

They went through an emotional process of suspicion, shock, disbelief, refutation, and to even wanting to test the principal with their bodies.

Even Chen Shen, who did not understand scientific principles, understood the item’s importance before them.

Phenomenally, the alchemy furnace was able to transform the energy of matter and reshape the energy into something else.

Essentially, it created a loop in time and restored the material to its original state, then made a suitable environment for it to “naturally grow.”

It sounded really imaginary, but the alchemy furnace did not perform a direct material conversion of turning red into green or leeks into celery.

Instead, the leeks were restored into seeds, then a series of operations were performed on the seeds to mutate their internal genes and transform them into celery seeds.

Next, within a very short time, a suitable environment for the growth of the celery would be simulated, and the seed would go through a process of the initial sowing until harvest.

The process was so short that it was impossible to be detected by existing human technology.

Therefore, it looked as if the leek had been put in the furnace, and celery was taken out in the next second, creating a false appearance of material transformation.

“I’ve no idea how to explain, but all I can say is that it is indeed a creation of humankind!”

Su Mo could simply fool them for the previous upgrade, but this time it was about everyone’s “beliefs.”

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Su Mo thought to himself for a while and finally opened his mouth to explain.

He explained the process of the persistent man he had seen during the upgrade of the alchemy furnace, who transformed the engine of a spacecraft with his skills to survive on a strange planet.

On the fast-forwarded screen that the system played, the story only lasted for about ten minutes before being abruptly cut off.

Su Mo chose to describe it as detailed as possible and even added some of the minor details he had observed during the experience.

Half an hour later…

After listening to the story, Li Kuan and the others left silently with thoughtful expressions.

Su Mo gently shook his head.

When faced with technology one step ahead of current technology, people could analyze it, find the subtleties, and quickly acquire the knowledge.

However, when it came to technology that was two steps ahead, most people could only stare blankly at it and act as a user of the technology.

Su Mo understood this truth, and those who have been immersed in their technological beliefs were much more familiar with this reality!

He focused his attention back in front of him.

“Arrange for people to start shoveling some snow into the furnace. Prioritize burning the snow within three kilometers first.”

Su Mo began teaching them how to put in the snow and the burning, energy conversion, and other operations.

After listening to Su Mo’s explanation, Chen Shen and the others nodded happily.

“Okay, we will make the arrangements!”

They had no intentions of learning and did not even want to understand the principles behind it.

The advanced things should be left to the professionals in the territory.

What they knew was that they now had a way to deal with the snow, and the villagers would no longer be troubled by it, which meant that they had acquired better means to face the disaster.

It was a good thing for them.

In the first half of the night, the villagers learned how to use the alchemy furnace for burning the snow.

In the second half of the night, the hundreds of villagers worked together, and with the help of the excavator, everything was able to get on track.

Even though it was still cold outside.

Even though the snow was still falling from the sky.

Inside the territory, not only were the leadership not sleepy, but even the villagers were full of energy, hoping that they could make the snow disappear as soon as possible.

After a few hours of working hard, everyone had become increasingly skilled at their duties, and the process became much more efficient.

When it was four in the morning, everyone’s efforts were enough to clear most of the snow within a one-meter radius!

When the break at six in the morning arrived, within a one-kilometer radius, except for a few flakes of snow, the soil on the ground had clearly absorbed enough water and turned back to its original dark brown color!

The progress was much slower than Su Mo’s estimation.

However, it was because he forgot to take into account the fact that it was still snowing.

Since the snow was still falling, their progress was not considered slow.

However, compared to this, the most gratifying thing was the change in the mental state of everyone in the basin.

The previous death count of hundreds of times within seven days inside the virtual reality had caused an improvement in spirit and energy as well as allowed everyone to adapt better to the doomsday wasteland and integrate into this place.

This time, the one-day-two-night disaster resistance was a hundred feet ahead and a step further.

It was totally different!

…

“Hey, shelter leader!”

“Hello, Lord Su Mo!”

The village was covered with cold air in the morning, but the villagers’ constant greetings when Su Mo passed by did not stop.

Recently…

They had the electricity connected.

Then, they could burn snow.

Everyone fully acknowledged Su Mo’s mysterious powers. They understood that their territory lord had an extraordinary secret.

However, the thousands of villagers in the territory were wise, and no one went around asking questions. They were happy as long as they could live safely under the protection of Su Mo’s wings.

After all, whatever secrets he had were not a priority to them. It was enough for them that they had a guaranteed bright future.

Even so…

Invisibly, Su Mo’s status had become more significant. Everyone knew that he did not care about vain rituals, but they were still afraid of falling behind others in this aspect.

Some people even swapped their casual greeting toward him for something that could signify greater authority and deep respect, such as Mighty Lord.

The title was full of constraints.

‘The other lords would want their subjects to respect them, be afraid of them, and work harder for them.

‘I just want to be casual…’

Su Mo picked up the fried dough sticks that had just been deep-fried from the table and poured himself a bowl of fragrant, smooth soy milk. He also enjoyed a few specially made side dishes.

He smiled as he ate his meal.

It was not anyone’s fault.

Leadership was profound knowledge.

The imperial family had been famous for their well-known ingenuine tactics, and entrepreneurs were known to have strategic management cognitive skills.

Farm owners utilized rewards and punishments on their farms, and even an elementary class monitor had the means to report to their teachers.

No matter what field it was, the same method would be used.

The ultimate goal was to make the rule more stable, produce more resources and benefits, and keep moving forward.

“Back on Earth, the shelter leader’s ability would make him a person who’d be famous even outside of the planet.”

“There’s a Mr. Musk abroad, and if our shelter leader had a few years, then wouldn’t we also have one in China?”

“In my opinion, our previous environment was too unfair, making it difficult for ordinary people to show their talent.”

At the dinner table, other people were eating and chatting happily.

The prospects for disaster resistance were bright.

Everyone was naturally delighted, and the flattering words out one after another.

“Don’t underestimate yourself. The wasteland is full of opportunities. Whether you grasp onto it depends on yourself.”

“You guys are lucky, and so am I. However, to go on, we still have to work together!”

Su Mo also complimented them with appealing words.

In the future, to manage the growing territory, he had to rely on these people’s hands to issue his orders.

In the future, he would not be stingy with promotions for people who were capable.

Furthermore, it was rare to have a group of like-minded people who could work well together, and Su Mo did not want to alienate the relationship.

During breakfast, everyone could eat delicious food because they had abundant food resources. The villagers also enjoyed the beauty of life.

Suddenly, Su Mo remembered something.

…

“Since the disaster situation has been stabilized, our vision should not be limited.

“Great Mountain is about to expand its terrain. In the future, it will undoubtedly be much harder to explore and pass through the mountains if were do not do so right now.

“Additionally, everyone must also already be aware of the importance of ruins.

“It’s necessary for us to dispatch a team as soon as possible!”

They already obtained solutions for the worst problems during the disaster.

Su Mo did not want to delay any longer.

He had ranked first place multiple times and already had a huge advantage. He was basically leading ahead of humans and foreigners.

However, there were hundreds of territories ranked ahead of him. The feeling was unpleasant and made Su Mo anxious.

In the future, if a disaster were to develop at the speed of these people who were more advanced…

Then, the basin would be trapped in a very difficult situation.

“With the alchemy furnace to burn the snow, and since the snowfall has gradually slowed down, the rest of the work was simple. There was no need for so many people to be on the front line of the disaster resistance posts.

“We could ensure that there won’t be chaos in the territory, and the snow removal plan was smoothly implemented with about 600 people!”

They made a calculation of the workforce that was needed, and several departments immediately gave their agreement on the number of people.

The alchemy furnace had a burning capacity limit, and even if there were more people to help, they could only stand outside to wait, which was a complete waste of time.

The threat of the snow disaster could be gradually solved with a small number of people being required to clean up the falling snow and then with the help of a few vehicles to transport the snow that was farther.

This job was suitable for both men and women.

It was exactly as Su Mo had stated. They would be able to free more hands to do more meaningful things.

“The snow will be great concealment and help in the plan.

“It can camouflage our teams, and at the same time, we can use sleds to move quickly to distant places that we could not reach before.

“Since 600 people are enough, then out of the remaining 800 people, we can set aside 200 people as mobile forces, and the rest will be assigned other tasks!

“I will also need 100 people to explore the Great Mountain to see what those savages are doing there!”

A sonorous and powerful voice rang out.

Everyone repeatedly nodded to the first half of his instructions and agreed that the decision should be implemented.

However, when Su Mo voiced out in the second half that he wanted to lead a team into Great Mountain, the expressions of those present changed simultaneously.

“Shelter leader, I disagree. We would still disapprove even if it was normal weather outside, let alone a snowy mountain!”

“We won’t be able to communicate because of the electromagnetic interference. You won’t be able to contact us and get support if you encounter an enemy inside! It’s too risky!”

“No, no! Shelter leader, if you’re worried, I’ll lead a team there, and I’ll do a good job for you without any problems!”

“You don’t go into the waters on a rainy day, nor do you go up the mountains on a snowy day! Shelter leader, please reconsider!”

There were sixteen people at the table.

All sixteen of them strongly disapproved!

Moreover, they gave reasonable explanations, and every present who listened to them would nod in agreement.

Firstly, there was an electromagnetic barrier on Great Mountain. Not considering the communication inside and outside the mountain, even on the mountain itself, they would have to shout to communicate with one another. Once an accident occurred in the snowy mountain and the team was separated, it would be unimaginably difficult to find each other, let alone try to find Marshal Wang and the others.

Secondly, no one was familiar with the terrain in the mountain. The landscape was already risky to explore on a typical day. Now that it was snowing, there was a high possibility for one to misstep and fall off the cliff under such circumstances.

Thirdly, there was also a punishment mechanism that made the snowfall smaller inside one’s territory and it increased by 50% as a penalty outside the territory. It would cause a higher accumulation of snow. The Great Mountain did not belong to anyone, and that made the situation there much more complicated.

Fourthly, there were unknown enemies within the mountain. Going in there without knowing much about the opponent was dangerous. If the opponent’s firepower was fierce, it would be tough to survive and escape under such harsh conditions.

“Shelter leader, please listen to my advice. As long the green hills are still here, we don’t have to be afraid of running out of firewood!”

“Now that our situation has stabilized, there’s no need to task risks anymore!”

Seeing that everyone cast their gazes toward him, Chen Shen had no choice but to stand up and try to persuade Su Mo.

Although he understood that…

“I’ve made up my mind. Go make the arrangements for manpower, and make preparations!

“Besides, I’m not saying I’m departing now. I’ll wait until the snow is about to stop!”

He waved his hand to interrupt everyone’s persuasion. Su Mo smiled with a kind look, but everyone’s heart screamed with the word “dictatorship.”

Of course, just like the reasons everyone persuaded him, Su Mo’s reasons for traveling were also very good.

The winter would last for two whole months.

The safest time would naturally be after the heavy snowfall and before the weather transitioned into an ultra-low temperature.

When the freezing temperature comes, all the snow will be turned into solid ice, and the mountain road will become much more challenging and dangerous.

Even if they were prepared and arrived smoothly, the chance of returning safely was very small.

Secondly, because of disaster resistance, it was certainly the most relaxed time for everyone when the snow is about to stop.

That would greatly reduce the possibility of danger infiltrating at this time, even if the other party was in possession of great weapons.

As for the team leader…

Su Mo’s heart could not be at ease no matter who would be sent on the mission.

He kept pondering about it but decided that it would be better for him to go there to see the other party’s strength with his own eyes. He wanted to witness the power of another human territory himself.

It also would increase the chances of recruiting a huge batch of people back and increase the foundation of the territory before the next major disaster.
