The end of the calendar is April 14th.

The 103rd day when humans came to the wasteland.

There are only three days left before the disaster of heavy snowfall.

Last night, when the last villager rushed back to the depression, it was already around 2:40 p.m.

After a tiring day and the hard work of traveling back and forth, most people just hurriedly washed themselves, climbed into bed, and fell asleep.

But the worst thing is that when transporting coal at night, there will be the roar of engines and the rumble of coal dumped on the ground from time to time.

Everyone was unable to sleep well and peacefully, and every time they were stuck at the point of falling asleep and were suddenly awakened!

Sumo was also helpless about this.

Like the villagers, he didn't sleep well last night. He also listened to this vague noise and was half asleep and half awake the whole night!

As for the reason, it is not because the thick stone walls of the underground shelter have lost their function and have lost their sound insulation and anti-vibration functions.

Instead, he suddenly got a vacation that spanned more than half a month, which made him a little excited, and grand ideas for the future kept flashing through his mind.

"Hey, Sumo, aren't you on vacation? Why did you wake up so early today?"

Just after seven o'clock in the morning, after washing up.

After glancing at Su Chan, who was still sleeping soundly in bed, Su Mo "quietly" walked up the stairs to the first floor.

Here, I happened to bump into Lu Kuan who was busy in the experimental area.

"Haha, I really can't do it now. I can no longer find the state where I didn't get enough sleep when I was in school. Now that I'm on vacation, I have more things to do."

"Look at you, don't you wake up so early every day?"

After opening the freezer on the first floor, which was specially used to store fruits, and taking out an apple, Somo started to gnaw on it.

During this period, seeing Lu Kuan staring at the screen intently, he also walked over curiously.

"How's it going? Can you get the power on in the next two days?"

"We are running the model. Once the model passes, we can manufacture it and conduct a small-scale pressure test first. If the test is passed, we will consider the range of installation."

A new type of energy utilization device.

The significance of its birth is just like the first time mankind invented the internal combustion engine.

As long as it succeeds, it can greatly improve the progress of social civilization and promote leapfrog progress in human productivity!

In modern times, if there is such an opportunity, the whole country will definitely be used for research, design and experiment in the most standard and scientific way.

But in the wasteland, everything can only be simplified.

The only thing you can rely on is a few computers and a few souls that are unyielding to fate.

Sit aside and stare at the flowing data on the screen and the progress bar at the bottom.

Sumo's mind was filled with thoughts.

However, the reality is cruel. This time the progress bar has not even reached 40% before it is announced to be over and an alarm beeps.

"It failed, as expected. It can only be said that we all underestimated the difficulty of manufacturing this thing."

"This time I tried to improve the convectors, stack them from two to four, and then try to reduce the power by 15%!"

Although he was a little annoyed, Lu Kuan maintained a good attitude.

Seeing his confident look, Sumo thought for a moment and temporarily resisted the idea of ​​directly using survival points to try to improve.

"Okay, there are still two or three days left. As long as it succeeds, we won't have many places to install it in the first batch!"

"No rush!"

I left Lu Kuan alone and continued to work hard in front of the computer.

Somo gently opened the door of the shelter and nimbly got out.

Disaster is approaching.

The humidity in the air is still increasing continuously.

The sun in the sky was also blocked by clouds formed by condensation of water vapor.

A few faint rays of light penetrated the gaps between the clouds and cast towards the earth, barely bringing some light.

It was obviously close to eight o'clock, but at first glance, it looked like five or six o'clock.

Step onto the high slope of the shelter and look around.

I hope the village is still quiet.

Except for a few necessary personnel standing guard, they yawned and leaned lazily on the pillars, looking at the small coal mountain in the distance and giggling.

Even the canteen used to be steaming hot.

Now there is no movement.

"All prosperity is just an illusion"

"These buildings, materials, and technology are just appendages of life."

"In the end, people and popularity are the most precious things in the apocalypse!"

Looking at the desolate scene below, Sumo felt some strange feelings in his heart, including sadness and emotion.

The messy village roads have been repaired several times over time and are paved with fine cobblestones, reflecting the white light.

The villagers did not let go of the road leading to the shelter, and carefully arranged the best materials.

Like a flowing stream, it spreads forward and runs through the interior of the village.

On the signboard in front of the village, the three characters "Hope Village" written by Sumo himself have been hung up.

There is a circle of colorful light strips surrounding it.

In modern times, this kind of design might be a little ridiculous, making people laugh or cry.

But in the wasteland where human civilization is almost about to return, it is telling everyone living here all the time:

You are human beings!

You are from Earth!

Look down.

The neatly arranged prefabricated house made of colored steel plates exudes the most extreme geometric aesthetics.

The windows that were ordered to be opened before were now ten meters wide, with eight windows in each large square.

At this time, hot steam was steaming around several open windows for ventilation, and one could tell at a glance that the temperature inside was much higher than outside.

When we arrived at the right side of the village, the boiler, which had plenty of coal, was at full power.

Thick smoke from coal burning, mixed with slight impurities, rises into the sky along the pipe.

If this kind of high-power emission without regard to the environment was placed in modern times, you would definitely be fined with your underwear confiscated.

But put it here, in the cold winter when heavy snowfall is coming.

But it only makes people feel at ease!

As for the marvelous building built behind the village.

The construction has now reached the final extreme, and capping and shaping has begun.

At this time, Sumo finally saw clearly the true appearance of the first sculpture wonder in the depression.

Oreo.

In other words, it’s Oreo’s form after transforming into a giant wolf!

Streamlined spine, scattered hair, four thick branches, and a whip-like tail.

Finally, add the iconic head tilt.

Although most of the details have not yet been filled in, Sumo found a sense of familiarity in it as soon as he looked at it!

"After Oreo transforms, he controls the ability of ice and snow."

"Now that winter is coming, it makes sense for this first wonder building to be built like him!"

After observing the depression, the changes were almost earth-shaking.

Sumo's heart moved slightly, and he moved his steps, drifting out along the path where the ice and snow dissipated.

Soon, we arrived at the foot of Guoshu Mountain.

He followed the path up the mountain and climbed to the top of the mountain skillfully.

Five days have passed now.

The rice leaves that are bathed in the nether energy water every day are completely different from when they were first planted.

A trunk that is as thick as an adult's waist is trembling slightly under the caress of the breeze on the top of the mountain.

There are arms-thick branches scattered in all directions, swaying gently up and down in the wind.

On the branches, buds have emerged.

After careful comparison, it is actually the size of a baby's hand, and it is growing at an alarmingly fast rate.
