Chapter 465 - Reunited, The Mysterious Old Era Technology



Chapter 465 Reunited, The Mysterious Old Era Technology

It had only taken Su Mo fifteen days to build a huge steel ship that was over 80 meters in length and equip it with all types of weapons onboard.

Su Deben was flabbergasted!

Even though there were gulping motions seen on the robot’s throat, it did not make a single sound.

As the 75th leader of the Expeditionary Army, Su Deben had seen stronger, more powerful weapons equipped on even more terrifying vessels.

However, it was exactly because he was familiar with such things that he knew in depth what it took and what it represented, that someone had managed to create such a monster in merely 15 days.

“Su Mo, you discovered those Old Era Technologies on the wasteland?”

Su Mo, who was still communicating with Hope One’s OS via the Bluetooth headset was stunned. “Old Era Technology? What’s that?”

Old Era…

It sounded like a term straight out of a Lovecraftian horror fiction novel but, when the term was paired with the word “technology”, it gave off a strange sense of paradox, which was confusing. After seeing the confused look on Su Mo face, as if it was his first time hearing of term, Su Deben breathed out a long sigh of relief. “That’s good, since you don’t know about Old Era Technology, and have not used it before, you’ve got to be wary. These things may be effective in the short-term, but they are a source of huge trouble. There’s a long story behind its origins, but the gist of it is that it’s some sort of weird technology with different effects that emerged as we humans fought the foreign races over thousands of years in this place.” “The main difference between Old Era Technology and our modern-day technology is that the energy source required to activate Old Era Technology running aren’t traditional forms of energy, but lifeforce instead. Human lifeforce, or foreign race lifeforce, took the place of traditional energy sources and, from there, different kinds of strange effects were seen in terms of output.”

“About 150 years ago, Old Era Technology reached its peak on this wasteland. At that time, not only were we humans using it, but even the foreign races used it too, and it nearly reached the pinnacle when something happened that no one expected. Within a single night, all the people that knew how to operate that technology disappeared overnight, including those from the foreign races as well!”

While he was saying those words, Su Deben’s face was deep in thought and had an expression of undisguised shock. It was clear that the incident that had taken place all those years ago still made him feel fear even in the present.

However, to Su Mo, what Su Deben said had reminded him of a key point.

“Wait, 150 years ago? Uncle Su, did you guys experience that incident as well?”

Su Deben nodded. “Yes, 150 years ago, even though we’re reduced to brains that lived in a glass box, there were still many living human beings that took care of the base. At that time, the entire wasteland had nearly been completely occupied by us humans and, at that time, we even managed to establish a strong country called Blazeland!”

“Using the Old Era Technology, even normal citizens could enjoy the protection that the technology offered!”

“At that time, our expeditionary base had almost gotten our hands on the core component of the Old Era Technology, but then the monster invasion happened. That big bunch of fearless monsters attacked each and every survivor in the base like crazy and, perhaps, the team that was supposed to escort the technology was attacked as well!”

It was unexpected.

Blazeland had connections to Su Deben’s Expeditionary Army base, and they were in communication with each other!

However, before Su Mo could ponder upon the other possible connections between the two, a few heads popped out from Hope One’s deck, and cheering could be heard from above.

“Captain is down there!”

“Quickly, open the side passage!” “Wow, Captain has gotten some gains again!” The restrictions on deck access had not been lifted yet, so the crew members that were on the lower decks had no idea what was going on.

However, when they saw Shen Ke, Su Chan, Zhang Long, Liu Neng, and the rest rushing downward, they shrieked in excitement as well.

Very quickly, the side passage of Hope One opened.

With a plop, a lifeboat was hurled down and on it leapt a girl on the back of a bear.

“Brother, brother, where are you?!”

Looking at how anxious Su Chan was, Su Mo reined in his desire to connect the dots, and a dazzling smile appeared on his face as he returned to the front of the capsule.

Snap!

The button was pressed, and the capsule door opened automatically.

As the mechanical door creaked open slowly, Moore, who was rowing the lifeboat over, discovered the anomaly in that direction and quickly steered toward it and rushed over.

It had been three days. For Su Mo, it did not feel like a long time since he was busy repairing the rocket, waging war against the game, and flying into space to reach the God of the Ocean’s realm and meeting with Jiang Chu.

However, for those left behind on Hope One, since they were deprived of the convenience of communication after the game panel began the version update, and had nothing to do, it felt like a mighty long time!

Just as the capsule door opened fully, the lifeboat Moore was steering also arrived next to the capsule.

The next moment, with a giant leap, the lightning bear warrior’s burst with momentum, and the lifeboat sank a little visibly from the force. Shortly after, a human and a bear descended down from the heavens like deities right into the capsule!

“Hah, be gentle, you guys. Don’t step on my treasures! These are all good things!” “Brother!”

The moment she entered the capsule, Su Chan’s eyes immediately searched out Su Mo, who was seated while smiling with crescent eyes inside the capsule. She leapt off Moore’s back and hugged Su Mo tightly. As for Moore, his beady eyes scanned the room and found another target.

He ran hastily toward the robot that was being controlled by Su Deben and hugged it aggressively.

It was a harmonious scene.

Su Mo burst out in laughter as he saw Su Deben’s flabbergasted look.

“Su Chan, this is Captain Su Deben, who will be the person in charge of our base’s military. You can call him Uncle Su from now on, and mind your manners, okay?”

“Okay…” “Uncle Su, welcome to our base. Do make yourself at home!”

Su Chan greeted Su Deben sweetly with her eyes slightly widened, just like a child greeting the elderly in a friendly manner.

Being addressed like that stunned Su Deben once more as he was flung up and down in Moore’s embrace.

After a long while, he finally snapped back to his senses and responded enthusiastically. “Good! Good! Good!”

“This place will be our home from now on. Uncle Su will do all he can, and will even die to protect the safety of our home!”

“Since this is our first time meeting each other, please wait for a moment, Uncle Su doesn’t have a huge gift for you, but…”

A surge of energy rose from within the robot as he tore himself out of Moore’s arms.

Immediately, Su Deben went around digging among his pile of random things with the robot until he finally found a ring-looking thing that also looked somewhat like an earring.

“This is a piece of jewelry that Uncle Su obtained during the early years on the wasteland, and I haven’t found anyone to give it to for so many years.”

“I can’t accept this, Uncle Su…”

Su Deben frowned and waved his hand. “What, you don’t take me as family now? It’s just the beginning and you’re already refusing to listen to Uncle Su?”

Su Chan stuck her tongue out playfully and giggled. “Okay Uncle Su, thank you very much!”

“Atta girl!”

Huaxian traditions would still be followed no matter how many generations or universes they were separated by, even on the wasteland.

This was what Su Mo had discovered on this trip. Regardless of whether it was Su Deben, Lu Kuan, the troops, or even Jiang Chu the God of the Ocean. Su Mo also felt the same way.

Looking at the harmonious scene before him, Su Mo did not interrupt, but watched quietly from the side as the scene unfolded. “Moore, nothing happened on the ship while I was away right?”

“Nothing, master, nothing. Since you left, Moore did a very good job protecting the safety of Hope One, and no one dared to attack us!”

Thumping his fist on his chest, Moore spoke with confidence.

The reality was exactly how he had described it to be.

As many more people descended into the water from Hope One, and manually dragged the capsule and the Sun-chaser Speedboat back to Hope One, Su Mo went aboard Hope One once again amidst the awe-filled gazes of many people. After making a round to check things out, he realized that things were exactly as Moore had said.

He did not hesitate further and immediately canceled the restrictions on deck access, and also announced his decision to head toward the New World.

The entire ship roared with excitement, and after just two hours of preparation, a human-powered crane appeared on the main deck.

On one end was a team of 200 to 300 people. On the other, was a pulley system device.

Even if the entire capsule weighed 11 tons, it was still easily hoisted onto the deck for storage thanks to the device.

As for the Sun-chaser Speedboat, since it could not be brought onboard, the OS would activate the autopilot mode and it would cruise alongside Hope One. “Su Mo, you’ve got so many talents here! I don’t see an ounce of despair on these people’s faces. There’s nothing on their faces except the hunger for the future!”

“With these people around, we will have no problems achieving great things!”

Controlling the robot, Su Deben gave a very high rating when he saw the demeanor and behavior of the people on Hope One after the crane had done its work, especially since he had been through two failed rocket launches, and experienced the moments where unity was the hardest thing to find. “Haha, Commander Su, you have no idea. These people were on the brink of giving up a few days ago! It’s only been a few days since then!”

“Right, we’ll have to tell you all about this… about our amazing history on the wasteland!”

The crew had quickly accepted the fact that a robot had become the highest military commander under Su Mo after he had made his announcement, even though they were curious about many things in the beginning.

They had already seen gods and fought foreign races, so it was only natural that they could accept the fact that robots existed.

At the same time, Zhang Long and Liu Neng gathered around Su Deben in excitement and began their tale.

When Su Mo saw how clearly intrigued Su Deben was by their tale, exclaiming and gasping in surprise every now and then, he scratched his head awkwardly and “escaped” from the scene of “crime”.

“OS, how far until we reach our 0,0 coordinates?”

Su Mo walked into the bridge that he had not been inside for days and sat on the captain’s seat. A sense of familiarity rose from within Su Mo.

Immediately after he verified his identity as the ship captain, the OS responded to his question.

(Captain Su Mo, the distance between us and the 0,0 coordinates is 14980 km, and we are cruising at a speed of 73.5km/hour.]

(Our estimated time of arrival is 9 days and 15 hours.]

“Good. From now on, sail at full speed! Our destination is the 0,0 coordinates!”

After taking some time to understand the situation on the ship, and making sure that he did not miss out on anything, Su Mo looked at the estimated travel time of 9 days and 15 hours and felt that…

He could not wait to go home!
