My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Modern civilized society placed labels on everyone unconsciously.

Perhaps they were busy working-class employees who would find it difficult to change their lot in life.

Perhaps they were idle hooligans who did not have a clear path ahead of them.

These labels had not been truly dispelled by the advent of the Doomsday wasteland.

Even though everyone had arrived at the wasteland, these unconscious labels had still not completely faded away yet!

As arenowned scientist from a well-to-do family, Lu Kuan had been either in contact with extremely intelligent geniuses, or elders in positions of power, ever since his talents had been revealed.

Thus, all this while, he had been wondering how he could use this virtual dimension to best serve his own interests.

What use would ordinary people have for this technology?

Could they speed up the progress of development of civilization? All they could do was probably waste precious energy.

However, Su Mo, who had been exposed to the system’s training grounds, knew exactly how much impact this thing would have!

Lu Kuan stood behind him, still pondering the idea he had brought up just now.

Su Mo smiled faintly and patted the robot on the shoulder before slowly walking out of the room.

Before this, he had been wondering where he could recruit top-notch scientists to help strengthen the territory’s foundation for the development of science and technology.

However, Su Mo had found them now!

Other than Su Deben, all the eight other members could be said to be the best of the best in their respective fields.

ff he could create the alloy and connect their brain nerves to it, eight “god-like and legendary” monsters would appear in his territory!

“Are you thinking of launching the rocket? That’s impossible!”

“Although the exterior of our rocket is constructed from a super alloy that is resistant to water pressure, it’s been laying around for such a long time that the phase three ignition rocket has been damaged in multiple

locations because it was not maintained properly. Moreover, there aren’t any extra materials that can be used to fix it!”

“There isn’t enough energy for you to launch it once more. You were too late!”

No one knew what Lu Kuan was thinking about as he once again controlled the robot and walked over to Su Mo, who was patiently fine-tuning the rocket’s parameters, before speaking to him in a slow, controlled

voice.

He was speaking the truth.

Ever since the phase one and phase two ignition rockets had failed to launch for reasons as silly as not having God’s signature…

Everyone in the base, whether it was Su Deben himself, to the lowest level employees, had been overcome by the feeling of despair.

To accomplished scientists like them, this reason was even more difficult to accept.

Thus, after the base was attacked, no one bothered to take care of the rocket anymore despite surviving the attack. Hence, things had ended up the way they were now.

“Lu Kuan, how about we make a bet?”

“What bet?”

“If I can fix this rocket, successfully launch it, and successfully return you…”

Lu Kuan interrupted him. “No ifs. As long as you succeed in launching it and fulfilling our wishes, we will be happy to assist you in your growth and development until the very last drop of our blood runs dry!”

He spoke those words with absolute conviction and sincerity, and did not stumble over his words even once.

The failed rocket launch had become a mental demon that plagued everyone’s minds. If they could not get rid of that demon, they would never be able to rest peacefully.

“Alright! Just watch me then!”

He pressed the last button and watched as various installations in the rocket’s cavity began to function in an orderly manner to perform a self-analysis of the rocket’s overall condition.

Su Mo stood up and stared deeply into the robot’s empty eye sockets before walking out of the room.

Lu Kuan did not spend his time idling around either. He slowly walked over to the glass window and lowered his head.

He was switching.

Although he was extremely curious as to what methods Su Mo would apply to achieve this impressive feat, he still gave the others a chance to come out and catch a glimpse of Su Mo’s honor and glory.

All of them who had been left behind knew how difficult it was to fix the rocket. They also knew how difficult it would be to replenish its energy supply.

However, to them, this man named “Su Mo” radiated confidence from his entire being almost blindingly!

“System, list out all the methods I can use to upgrade the rocket. Anything that consumes less than… sixty thousand points will do!”

After his last round of points accumulation, his survival points had almost reached the 110,000-point mark!

However, considering the fact it had cost over twenty thousand points to upgrade and take control of the entire base’s operating system and program, he only had 87 thousand survival points remaining now.

He had to conserve some of these points as a precautionary measure for his “battle” against the God of the Ocean.

Thus, Su Mo could only spend most, but not all, of his fortune on the rocket.

Lights flashed around him, after which the system panel displaying the possible rocket upgrades popped up.

Phase Three Ignition Launch Vehicle (Damage level: 67%) (Energy shortage: 42%)]

Description: The rocket utilizes a two-and-a-half stage configuration. Its components include six boosters, stage one cores, stage two cores, payload fairing, small satellites and a launch escape system for the capsule.

tt has an excellent payload capacity and is strong enough to escape the Earth’s gravity and successfully reach orbit.]

First Upgrade Method]:

Heavy Launch Vehicle: Repair all damage to the rocket’s exterior shell, and upgrade it to a certain extent to make it more lightweight and durable. In terms of structure, it triples the number of boosters to 18, effectively

providing six times more power than before. Comprehensively upgrades all power output modules and optimizes the rocket’s speed. However, this design will require ten times the amount of energy due to the

additional boosters and power. (46520 survival points required for upgrade. Energy required: 125800).

Second Upgrade Method]:

Falcon Space Rocket: Reconstructs the broken and damaged parts of the rockets, modifying its shape to that of a spacecraft and optimizes it for space travel. After the shape modification, the boosters and cores will be

reconstructed to a certain extent to provide additional power while taking into account the energy output required for the capsule to re-enter the atmosphere, with the goal of creating a reusable spacecraft.

However, due to the modification of the rocket’s overall shape, it is lacking in terms of pressure resistance and is better suited for short-distance launches. (35250 survival points required for upgrade. Energy required:

28600).

[Third Upgrade Method]:

Disposable Space Rocket: Dramatically reduces rocket’s size, lowering its internal payload capacity and reducing its energy requirements. Substantially reduces material loss suffered from launch failures, allowing

those materials to be used for subsequent launches, while maintaining the structural integrity of the materials and their pressure resistance. However, said rocket will have its facilities and usable space compressed

according to the ratio of its size reduction. This includes the removal of the re-entry capsule entirely, which means that it can only be used to launch satellites. (21900 survival points required for upgrade. Energy

required: 15000)

Fourth Method Four]:

sychic Energy Shuttle Rocket: Combines all the above-mentioned advantages, integrating these functions and fusing them with the psychic energy crystal, creating an unimaginable transformation of its outer

structure, allowing it to ignore external pressure below a certain level.

ts interior structure will also be altered radically after fusing with the psychic energy crystal.

Due to the influence of psychic energym the re-entry capsule has a 100% probability of success for re-entry. Additionally, after choosing this upgrade method, the rocket’s “shuttle” features will ignore any speed

limitations and most other rules and restrictions.

However, since this design involves the power of psychic energy, the energy required will also increase fiftyfold. (60000 survival points for upgrade. Energy required: 795000)

Tsk…

Although the system now offered much better upgrade methods after being updated itself, the requirements had also changed drastically.

Su Mo could not help but inhale a sharp breath of air as he read through the first option to the fourth, before returning back to the first option again.

Among those four upgrade methods, the third one was immediately eliminated as he needed the rocket to be able to transport humans and make the return trip.

The first method was also eliminated as it consumed too much energy and focused its upgrades on power, which was one of the elements he needed the least.

That left him with only the second and fourth upgrade options.

Method two would cost him the least and, although its ability to resist external pressure was considerably weakened, it was still the most cost-effective choice.

Method four cost the most. Not only would it use up all of his allocated survival points, but it had an energy requirement of close to 800,000, plus…

Su Mo waved his hand, and a dark blue crystal appeared in his palm.

He had not been able to find another one of these even since he received this crystal, even though he opened hundreds of gold treasure chests.

The probability of this thing appearing was odd.

At the start, it was so easy to find that one would appear even from a silver treasure chest, but now, it was almost impossible to even catch a glimpse of them inside an epic gold or platinum treasure chest.

However, without a doubt, this crystal was, in a sense, more precious than Hope One, and perhaps even more precious than anything else that Su Mo possessed other than the system itself!

Even epic-quality tools were nothing compared to it.

“I was going to save this crystal for later when I had enough survival points to use it to upgrade the shelter.”

“But now…”

“If there’s a chance of failure with the re-entry capsule by using the other upgrade options, I have to choose this one. Everything will be too late if I wait for something to actually happen before making this upgrade!”

After conducting a cost-benefit analysis, Su Mo soon concluded his thoughts.

Having points to spare was nice, but he had to be alive if he wanted to use them.

Based on the descriptions, if he upgraded to the psychic energy shuttle rocket, it was highly probable that the godly boundary would not stop him, and he would be able to locate the God of the Ocean as well.

All these costs would be justified as long as he managed to locate the God of the Ocean!

“I choose… the fourth upgrade method!”

From an angle not visible from the glass window above, Su Mo walked forward and gently affixed the psychic energy crystal into a gap in the rocket.

The moment he finished speaking, sixty thousand survival points were instantly deducted, and they transformed into streaks of green light that shot towards the phase three ignition rocket in front of him.

When you looked at the rocket from below, it was almost like viewing a tall building from below, which was a rather daunting experience.

However, the green flashes of light began to slowly blur its exterior until it looked as gentle and as supple as light reflecting off a puddle.

The lights formed circles around the rocket, slowly traveling outward from where the psychic energy crystal had been placed. They met each other at the tip of the rocket before traveling back down to where they had

come from.

The upgrade was simple as ever, but it also proceeded in a rhythmic manner.

When the ten-second fusion period came to an end, the rocket’s exterior finally could no longer withstand the repeated heating and reforging.

All of the interior parts floated out slowly, as if they had been summoned, and began dancing in midair.

Su Mo watched all these changes take place with great interest.

However, behind the glass window, Su Deben, who had just assumed control of the robot, was so shocked that he fell to the ground.

The next second, Su Deben intelligently chose to relinquish control and return control to Lu Kuan, leaving it up to Lu Kuan to determine what sort of technique was being used here.

When Lu Kuan assumed control, he did not fare much better than Su Deben.

Seeing the parts floating about in midair, he looked like he had seen a god as he stood in front of the glass window and widened his eyes instinctively.

As the robot’s vision system zoomed into focus, he noticed a familiar-looking glow coming from the parts.

“Is that… psychic energy?”

“Su Mo owns something that can bind it to a physical object?”

o one answered his question. Other than Oreo’s excited panting, the only sounds that could be heard in the base were the creaking sounds of the parts slowly transforming.

Five minutes later, which was also the longest time the system had ever taken to complete an upgrade, it was finished.

With all the parts upgraded, the rocket began reassembling itself quietly under the guidance of the system’s green light.

tt was different from the rocket’s previous design, which had looked rather outdated previously.

At this moment, the psychic energy shuttle rocket could be described as…

Looking like something straight out of a sci-fi scene! .
