My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 567: Surprise! The Research of the Energy Gathering Ring!

Chapter 567: Surprise! The Research of the Energy Gathering Ring!


‘Woah!


‘The opportunity for acquiring new resources, more than 100 loyalty points, the rising health value, and… the excellent-grade point acquisition!


‘This system really doesn’t want me to rest. It just wants to motivate me to go out and do more things!’


Su Mo looked at the stream of information on the daily system announcement’s territory properties panel.


He was distressed but, at the same time, extremely happy.


As expected, constantly improving the potential value of the territory really had a magical effect.


The other territory lords had only three ways to increase the potential value of their territories.


Firstly, a.s.signing people to leave their own territory and become free individuals.


Then, the free individual continued to capture other people’s territories or unowned territories until they had the status of lords and merged together with their previous territory.


The potential values of the two territories would add up to a higher value.


The advantage of this method was that the area occupied would be larger. There would be more types of resources found in different areas, and as long as there was enough population, there would be an increase in productivity.


For example, the dwarves with hundreds of thousands of people could use this method to squeeze the workload of every dwarf in a very short period of time to achieve extreme development progress.


However, this method also had a drawback that could not be overcome.


That was that no matter how high the potential value reached, the territory environment per unit area would still be the same as the previous environment, and there would be no changes in the territory.


Even if the total potential value reached 100 or 500, there would be no qualitative change.


The second method was somewhat similar to the current situation in the basin.

...

To sum it up in one word would be…


Development!


What determined the potential value of a territory was not the natural conditions but also acquired governance, development, and cultivation.


For example, the initial land was barren. After fertility was improved through other means, the potential value of the territory increased and unlocked different effects.


The ents were currently using this method, using their natural abilities to plant various plants to improve the territory’s environment and achieve the effect of growing daily.


In the same way, they could use the cards issued by the gam. Upgrading the resources also increased the territory’s potential and gradually acquired more attributes.


The third type was the territorial attribute, which was possible but hard to achieve, and basically, only large territories would be able to achieve these attributes.


Over the past few days, they could enjoy the effects brought by the Little Blessed Land, and Su Mo had become more determined to acc.u.mulate lucky bags. He had to forcibly resist the urge to open them every night.


The special ability’s effect on the territory was so significant.


Not to mention there were two or three points of improvement in the properties panel.


Almost every gra.s.s and tree had undergone changes that were previously unable to be seen by the naked eye.


Of course, as the potential value increased, the effect of the bonus had started to decrease.


But it was undeniable how terrifying its long-term value was.


Apart from these three methods, it was not impossible to increase the potential value through other means.


However, most of these methods were out of the ordinary.


Not only were they time-consuming and labor-intensive, but they also came with great risks.


‘According to the information and estimates collected over the past few days, the dwarves are most likely not the foreign race with thousands of potential values. With their scale and structure, 800 would be the limit.


‘The Demon clan don’t have the time to mine and develop the territory, but they have the convenience of doing business, and the potential value of the territory should be around 150.


‘As for the ents, they might have a higher potential value, about 300-500.


‘The potential value of my current territory is 22.1, which is already the limit of a small territory in the New World.


“When this heavy snowfall pa.s.ses, I can use my territory points and the effects from the Little Blessed Land to reach at least 30!’


From the poor, barren land with a potential value of zero point something, the territory had now developed to the present, where the land was fertile and full of green gra.s.s.


As someone who witnessed the whole change with his own eyes, Su Mo could not help but clench his fists together excitedly.


The better the development of the territory, the more people would have a loyalty that exceeds 100.


In the future, the implementation of various policies would naturally be easier.


As for the reminder about personal heroism from the system, it may affect the implementation of the laws, but Su Mo did not give it much thought and ignored it.


Development.


Not only to keep pace with the times but also to adapt to local conditions.


Enforcing the law was more important than the individual.


As the lord, the least he could do was set an example first and abide by the rules for everyone to see.


In a prosperous world, this could improve cohesion and bring everyone together.


In the apocalypse, it was equal to tying one’s hands and feet, putting importance on one thing, and losing another in the process.


‘11356. 35132, this should be the good-quality plant that was detected last time. It seems that after the weather gets cold, it supposes it can’t stand it anymore, and it must be transplanted back as soon as possible.


‘27041. 11098, this seems to be the location of the freshwater lake. Could it be that a mutant carp was born within the carp group?’


Su Mo remembered these two pieces of information and arranged to further explore them in the future schedule.


He read the last sentence of Hao Qiang’s good news, then opened the survival point acquisition panel.


The last time he achieved excellent results was right after they moved to the New World and survived more than ten days.


It was unexpected that the same reward was given for winning their first territorial war.


With a faint flash of silver light, the data emerged.


[You successfully survived to the 103rd day in the wasteland and refreshed your lifespan (Survival points +500).]


[Your territory has achieved more than 50 special combat forces for the first time, which results in restless enemies (Survival points +1,000).]


[You successfully planned a foreign war, and fully partic.i.p.ated in plan formulation, plan supervision, and plan execution (Survival points +1,000).]


[Your territory launched a foreign war for the first time and won a perfect victory (Survival pointa +5,000).]


[Your territory has obtained a significant amount of resources, enough to support you through the long and cold winter, which makes you more relaxed (Survival points +1,000).]


[Milestone – War Newbie (Completely partic.i.p.ated in a war; Blue survival points +10).]


[Milestone – Success Without Injuries (You commanded a war on the scale of 1,000 people and sustained no casualties; White survival points +2,000; Blue survival points +100; Territory points +5)]


[Milestone – Cooperation I (Complete a certain objective with a foreign race; White survival points +500)]


[Milestone – Insane Loyalty (Territory residents reached a loyalty of 100; Blue survival point +100)]



[Final settlement: White survival points +11000; blue survival points +210; territory points +7.1]


[Remaining survival points: White survival points: 37240; Blue survival Points: 210; Territory points: 10.6]


‘Woah!


‘As expected of an excellent-grade point acquisition, it actually gave me two hundred blue survival points!”


Su Mo’s eyes lit up as he glanced at the summary at the bottom.


As the last large-scale acquisition before the long winter, the number of points was directly related to the arrangement of the follow-up plans.


Both the white survival points and the territory points could be acc.u.mulated over time.


However, the magical blue survival points could only be obtained by relying on the special milestones achieved.


200 points.


That meant he could refresh two useful statuses or carry out other types of transformations!


‘I won’t have to hesitate with this many points! I’ll cooperate with Lu Kuan to make that energy extraction device this afternoon!


‘We’ll work a little overtime at night and by tomorrow we can run a power-on test!


‘Time is money.


‘I’ll have to spend survival points when needed.’


It was not a waste to use some points that could be acquired every day to complete some final touches.


He wanted to quickly release Lu Kuan and the others from their current task and place them in other positions to help open up other fields.


This was the best use of the talents in the basin right now!


Su Mo quickly concluded, closed the panel, and quickly ran down the mountain.


It was half-past eight in the morning.


Most of the villagers in the village had already climbed out of bed and started to wash up with warm water.


The cafeteria at the back of the village had also started its fire.


The smoke from the cooking rose up the chimney, with a strong aroma of rice, which whetted everyone’s appet.i.te.


The other villagers also smiled as they saw Su Mo running with joy.


The fatigue from the restless night was immediately forgotten.


Su Mo skillfully pa.s.sed through the village road, came to the cafeteria, and greeted the two villagers who were squatting on the ground, eating by the door.


He strode into the canteen.


The leaders.h.i.+p members would eat with ordinary villagers only on days when Su Mo ventured back from the outside, and they held a celebration.


Other times, the cafeteria would prepare a round of meals and serve the leaders.h.i.+p as well as guards that were about to go on duty.


The villagers had no objection, and Su Mo had no complaints, so it gradually became an unspoken rule by now.


Su Mo walked in and saw Chen Shen and Pei Shao walking over with bowls of porridge with tired looks on their faces.


“Hey, shelter leader, why are you so happy today?”


“Quick, quick, shelter leader, sit down first. I’ll help you serve the porridge.”


Seeing Su Mo so happy early in the morning after a long absence, the two looked at each other with joy on their faces.


Past experience told them that every time Su Mo had such a reaction, it was either a harvest of food or the emergence of the Hope One and even the emergence of territorial resources.


There was no exception, and the basin would always welcome a new milestone of reformation or harvest.


‘Porridge can wait! I’ve good news for everyone! Follow me!


Su Mo grabbed Pei Shao, who was about to turn around to get some food.


Pulling over Pei Shao, who wanted to turn around to serve the soup, the three walked side by side and came to the table where the twelve leaders were sitting.


Seeing Su Mo’s expression, everyone paused for a moment and could not help getting excited.


Su Mo did not tease them.


He saw everyone’s curious expression and cleared his throat.


“I need to tell everyone some good news…”


“By this afternoon, no, latest by tomorrow, we will be able to switch on power in the village!


“Not just in a small area but everywhere throughout the village and in every room! Everyone will be able to enjoy electricity! ”


Boom!


It was as if a missile was thrown into a calm lake.


Before Su Mo finished his statement, a few squeaks could be heard.


The soup bowl that Chen Shen held in his hand fell directly onto the table, and the rice porridge overflowed from it.


The mixed vegetable steamed bun in Pei Shao’s hand fell straight to the ground and rolled around a few times.


Su Yuan’s grip on his chopsticks was so tight that it slipped out of his hands and tumbled on the table a few times, falling into Qi Qin’s bowl.


There was a villager who noticed Su Mo and brought him a bowl of soup, but as soon as he heard the news, the bowl slipped out of his hands and shattered on the ground.


The atmosphere in the room was extremely silent, and was like stuffy weather before a rainstorm, making it hard to breathe.


Su Mo glanced around at the people that were taken aback by the shock.


Su Mo was not surprised, and a strange sense of pride rose from the bottom of his heart.


The meaning of electricity to them…


It would not only provide strategic purposes but it was a comprehensive power that could be used for everything!


Having electricity would mean that the territory would leap through the four stages of human power, animal power, steam, and internal combustion engines, and acquire the most convenient energy source!


The normal use of electricity, as long as there were corresponding electronics, could solve the vast majority of troubles.


The use of electricity in industrial production could amplify individual productivity to the extreme, resulting in one man being able to achieve the results of tens or even a hundred people.


Just like the demon souls with disguise abilities, the ents who created a plant kingdom, the Light Empire’s cyborgs with modification abilities, and the dwarves with old technology.


Having power and corresponding electronics and equipment equaled a weapon to the humans, allowing them to reveal their strength in the future!


“There’s more good news. Although our initial supply of electricity won’t be much, we’ll be able to provide everyone with 2 kWh of electricity per person!


“The electricity will be completely free, just like solar power, and won’t require us to spend any additional resources!”


Su Mo threw out another good news.


The crowd was still dumbfounded as they exchanged glances with an unbelievable look.


Su Mo happily stood up, went to the back hall, took two more steamed buns with mixed vegetables, and came back to sit down with a bowl of porridge.


At this time, Chen Shen, who had the strongest mentality, recovered with difficulty and swallowed his saliva.


“Shelter leader, are you sure… the power will be connected tomorrow?


“Yes, Lu Kuan has been leading people to research for many days, and we’re almost there. It will be completed today and fully functioning tomorrow!”


“Woah!”


Ever since Lu Kuan and Ai Jianfeng were “resurrected”, they had been studying the energy stones for a while.


Everyone present was aware of this fact.


After all, everyone had partic.i.p.ated in the work of building the new mine, dispatching workers, and planning the warning areas.


However, they were unaware of what the two were researching, nor were they educated on the use of the energy stones.


It was not that they did not ask questions, but every time they did, Lu Kuan would refuse to satisfy everyone’s curiosity with the excuse that he was only responsible for making direct reports to Su Mo.


No one would have thought that what the two of them were researching…


Electricity!


Electricity that was enough to supply the entire village with free resources!


Qi Qin slammed the table and stood up as he let out a weird roar. “d.a.m.n, we suddenly… have electricity?”


“Plus, it’s free and can be provided stably every day?” Su Yuan followed after him and stood up.


Li Hu was even more direct with his expression. He punched himself in the chest twice, repeatedly uttering a language that even he did not understand.



Everyone’s reaction was different, but they were all overjoyed!


“Okay, everyone calm down.


“This winter, we will have more surprises!”


Afraid that these people would go insane from their happiness, Su Mo knocked on the edge of the table, forcibly trying to calm the atmosphere.


However, the reality was that everyone was still restless and eager to run out in the wind, and roll in the snow to express their excitement even after the meal was over.


Su Mo had no choice but to start delegating tasks to them.


“Pei Shao, there is a good-quality plant in this location. Send some villagers who have experience in planting over there. Transplant it back to the basin in a complete state as much as possible. It is really afraid of the cold so be careful not to damage it!


“I am also planning to sow the seeds that we took back from the ent’s territory two days ago. The greenhouse plan that we came up with should be pushed forward. Let’s not talk about how many acres first, but at least have a place to sow and observe a few plants.


“Also, the heavy snowfall is coming soon and although we have made a lot of preparations, many problems have been exposed. The snow-clearing pa.s.sage on the prefab house, the large snow truck for disaster relief, the tools at hand, the specific disaster planning, and so on.”


“…”


One by one, Su Mo a.s.signed the issues and tasks that he thought about last night to people.


He watched as the people received their tasks and left, then turned to Chen Shen and Shen Ke, who were still seated opposite him.


“I can only give you a general direction of development. Specifically, I still need you two to find the right people to help get the jobs done.”


Chen Shen nodded. “Shelter leader, that’s more than enough, just leave these little things to us.”


“I’ll make sure that the resources are well distributed so there won’t be any problems!


Shen Ke also replied.


“Very well, let’s get back to work!”


He watched as they left and took the last mouthful of the porridge from the bowl.


Su Mo’s excitement in his heart was undiminished.


In the past, he would have to get all these things done by himself slowly.


To build the greenhouse alone in the winter, he would have to select a site, cultivate the land, and source materials, build the frame, and conduct multiple tests.


Now, it only took a word to get it done.


It was much more than just simply saving some time!


Su Mo remembered his plans to make upgrades and did not waste any more time.


He stood up and brought along some food the villagers had packed for Lu Kuan and Su Chan.


He followed the road from the village to the shelter.


Before he could leave the village, he saw Lu Kuan running toward the village frantically, wearing only one shoe.


He caught a glimpse of Su Mo and almost fell to the ground.


Fortunately, Su Mo quickly noticed and supported him to prevent him from falling on the hard stones.


“What’s the matter? What happened?”


“Success! I succeeded! The energy gathering ring made from the energy stone succeeded!”


Lu Kuan did not stutter and was straightforward.


He stood up excitedly after seeing the stunned expression on Su Mo’s face.


“We created an energy-gathering ring model and by relying on characteristics of the energy stone, we not only can make perfect use of the energy stored inside it…


“We can even acc.u.mulate energy, which allows the transmission loss ratio to decrease to…


“Almost zero!”
