[Evaluation]: Although your level of research skill in individual fields is still low, your comprehensive research ability has surpassed 99.9% of mankind, which merits recognition!

This was Su Mo’s current attribute panel.

After more than ten days of systematic study, he had been fully introduced to a total of 6 disciplines.

Out of these 6, his grasp of biology and mathematics had reached an astounding level —the Information Age level!

What with the magic carpet’s mind power recovery speed bonus, the help of his title, the psychic energy water, his method of meditation, and many other auxiliary items, as well as relying on several knowledgeable teachers, his learning speed had become incredibly fast after unlocking the research talent ability.

If one wanted to exaggerate a bit, one could even say that the work he had put in during the past ten days was equivalent to what an ordinary human could achieve in an entire lifetime.

The knowledge accumulated in his brain had greatly exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

If he could study systematically for 6 months, he would be able to integrate many disciplines together and would far outstrip Lu Kuan and the others. No one would be able to surpass him in innovation!

“If I’m not wrong, the explosion of human technology was not an inevitable thing. Instead, it came about… by chance!

“Back then….”

Su Mo slowly turned the panel off and propped his elbows on the protective railing. While enjoying the salt-tanged sea breeze that blew on his face, he leisurely gave thought to the matter.

Learning

Thinking.

Research.

Creation.

Even amid all the different kinds of living beings in the world, humans were among the best in those four skills that were unique to them-perhaps even the best!

Strangely, the wasteland humans here were as intelligent as Earth humans, and their developmental paths also did not deviate from that of Earth humans.

However, they found it very difficult to observe natural phenomena to summarize nature’s laws, and to study the changes that happened within nature itself.

The wasteland humans were not unique.

What many people in this world did not know was that on Earth, there were also historical happenings that were recorded only in stories.

“If the gods are a key element in restricting the development of technology, then based on what Jiang Chu has described, not all the old gods in the wasteland world died after these countless generations. Some of them were chosen to ascend, leaving this world after their power reached a certain level.

“Based on the previous perspective, I can assume that they ascended to a higher world in search of better advancement.

“Now, though, after figuring out the relationship between all the planets… there are quite a lot of holes in that story!”

The gods in the wasteland had so far managed to preserve a certain number of native inhabitants.

The gods on Earth all disappeared overnight after a certain stage called “Doomsday”.

There had previously been countless explanations for this situation.

Now, however, Su Mo quickly stored this suspicion in the depths of his mind and cleared his thoughts completely. After that, his entire body felt at ease once more.

This was the biggest gain from his 10 days of conducting research.

It was also a necessary skill for every research scholar.

If one were unable to think of a solution, then one should stop thinking about it.

If that path was one that one could not walk, then one should find another path.

People could not be stuck in one place. This was true in scientific research, and also in one’s behavior and actions.

As long as one continued to forge ahead, one would obtain something eventually, and would also be able to progressively explore the source of those secrets.

“OS, how far away are we from our destination?”

(Captain Su Mo, current distance to destination is 38 km. Estimated time of arrival is 19 minutes.)

Following his thoughts, after Liu Heng had reported that everything was fine, Su Mo still had 10 minutes left before he arrived home.

He straightened his clothes and looked at the familiar scene nearby again, then returned to the captain’s quarters with a smile. Treating this occasion as seriously as he had treated his departure, he put on his now-outdated suit of armor and returned to the bow of the ship.

It meant that he was returning in triumph!

“Chen Shen, what’s up with our Shelter Leader, sending a messenger to tell you first that he’s coming back?” “And the person steering this speedboat, it’s…”

Under Iron Rock Mountain, more than 30 rafts made by the villagers had been launched into the ocean with all the villagers on them.

The refugees were also already on the ocean but in their own boats.

However, compared to before, the refugees were apparently a bit boisterous now, the sounds of debates rising constantly.

After Chen Shen had announced the decision to go to the New World, 20% of the refugees wanted to leave, as they wanted to sail for the deep ocean reaches and escape from disaster.

Furthermore, since neither Chen Shen nor Li Hu stopped them, one hour later, this 20% had become 60%!

Apart from the refugees under the retired soldiers, all the refugees that Hope Village had taken in later could not stand it any longer!

Chen Shen did not stop them either.

The situation was what he had expected.

Despite their complaints, they were still here when summoned, because they had not seen who their Shelter Leader was or how powerful his abilities were.

“Brother Hu, we’ve waited for so long. Can’t you wait patiently for another couple of minutes?”

After going around the area on patrol, Pei Shao leaped back onto the main raft, fan in hand.

Li Hu grimaced. “Boss Pei, can you not tantalize me any longer? For the sake of your old comrade, since we’ve both been soldiers together…”

Pei Shao hurriedly waved his hand. “Eh, Brother Hu, stop, stop. You’ve said this many times in the past couple of days.

“However, it’s not that I can’t reveal the identity of our Shelter Leader to you in advance…

“Come here!”

Pei Shao gestured stealthily. When Li Hu came over, Pei Shao slowly whispered something into his ear.

Like a rumble of thunder, whatever Pei Shao said shocked Li Hu so much that he shuddered.

He came to his senses after a moment and said slowly in disbelief, “Boss Pei, this Su… don’t tell me it’s the same one I know of…”

Pei Shao nodded confidently. “Exactly!”

Zap.

It was as if Li Hu had been hit on the head by a mace.

After hearing Pei Shao’s words, Li Hu immediately felt his knees go weak, and he collapsed backward onto the ground, sitting down.

He was a little overwhelmed.

He felt exactly as if he had won 500 million from a lottery scratchcard he had bought.

Before he could wonder why no one was helping him up, the villagers around him began cheering suddenly.

Voices of doubt also broke out among the group of refugees.

“Hurry up and take a look, what is that?!”

“Crap, this can’t be a boat! How can it be so huge?”

“Our Shelter Leader owns a boat like this? Really?”

“Something’s not right! You guys, take a good look! Doesn’t this ship look very familiar?”

“Huh, now that you mention it, it looks like… ah, this can’t be…”

“The Almighty Su!”

“Shit, isn’t this the Almighty Su? That’s his ship, Hope One-it really is the Almighty Su!”

“Our Shelter Leader is Almighty Su?”

They observed and drew conclusions.

When everyone suddenly realized that the Shelter Leader they were waiting for was actually the Almighty Su and the refuge they were in was the very one created by the Almighty Su, they were utterly stunned!

They were certainly not happy or stirred, neither were they excited.

They suddenly remembered that they had been clamoring to leave this place and head for the deep reaches of the ocean just a few hours ago. It also abruptly occurred to them that if Chen Shen had taken note of all the people who said earlier that they wanted to leave, then the consequences that awaited them were…

“Village leader Chen, I don’t want to leave-I beg you, please let me stay!”

“Village leader, I was too impulsive and overcome by emotion! If I had known that our Shelter Leader happens to be the Almighty Su, I certainly wouldn’t have had second thoughts!”

“Village leader Chen, I have elderly people and children in my family. If you make me leave, I have nowhere else to go. If you let me stay, I’m even willing to have only half of the rations! Please!”

“Village chief, we were wrong, please forgive us this once…”

Their begging voices were strident among the cheers of the villagers.

Some people were even kneeling on the rafts, faces full of remorse.

This scene made Chen Shen smile; it was just like he had expected. “All right, enough. You didn’t know, so I won’t blame you! “All of you, stand up, don’t kneel! Our Shelter Leader won’t be pleased if he sees this!” “Today is… A day of great joy!”

Chen Shen emphasized the words “great joy”.

After watching Chen Shen’s expression and realizing that he truly did not plan to do anything to them, all the refugees also reacted immediately. They quickly stood up.

The next moment, a cheer several times louder than before erupted from the ocean.

The refugees cheered so hard that they were on the brink of losing their voices. At this moment, as they welcomed Su Mo’s return, everyone…

Went crazy!

In one’s life, there were many occasions when one found oneself at a crossroads.

The first time, the refugees managed to take the right fork in the road by mistake and settled around Iron Rock Mountain.

The second time, they took the wrong path, but Chen Shen gave them a chance to start over.

They would not get another chance after this.

Now that they had this precious opportunity, all the refugees silently made a steadfast vow!

They also collected their scattered thoughts.

Of course, Su Mo, who was standing on Hope One, did not know that Chen Shen’s tactics had ensured that Hope Village would have another group of extremely loyal talents.

As the last leg of the distance flashed by, Hope One once again swept past the location of the shipyard and returned to dock in front of Iron Rock Mountain

As he looked down at the scene in front of him, Su Mo could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart and immediately shouted excitedly, “Villagers, I’m back!”

The villagers below responded in unison, “Welcome… Leader Su… Welcome back!”
