Chapter 813: Traveling Eight Years Into the Wasteland’s Future! Part 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The progress of the “players’” development in the future wasteland was a common dinner topic for Su Mo, Su Deben, Chen Shen, and Lu Kuan.

Besides the basin’s developments, they often discussed the recovery progress of human civilization in the Deep Sea.

Everyone expected the foreign races to practically lose their physical and quantitative advantages in the early stages after losing the gods’ help.

Ten years later, every human could become a soldier after achieving a complete industrial system and weapon production. With such rapid progress, humans could bring abundant resources into the territory to restore civilization like on Earth.

It would take two to three years of development for the entire New World to be full of human gathering places.

Among them, the slowest developing places would reach at least the period of human’s first industrial revolution. They will be able to manufacture machinery to overcome the disadvantage of a lack of human manufacturing capabilities in the early stages.

Meanwhile, better developing places could achieve a level of the early 20th century that would be capable of creating “ultimate weapons” enough to protect the human race.

The human steps towards counterattacking would begin as soon as the ultimate weapons were produced.

According to Su Deben, it might even be possible to enslave these foreign races in the New World.

However, without exception, everyone seemed to have forgotten one thing—infrastructure!

“It will be too difficult to restore the modern infrastructure from Earth. Leaving out essential factors such as resources, manpower, and the possibility of foreign races destroying the infrastructures, the impact of the disasters is enough to make it impossible to build railways, highways, and public facilities in the wilderness.

“In the future, aviation will likely be the mainstay of medium to long-distance transportation. Meanwhile, waterways will be used as secondary transportation means.

“These two are easiest to implement and maintain.”

Lu Kuan put forward this perspective during their discussions which everyone unanimously approved.

It would not be challenging to achieve as long as they could gather enough resources.

With sufficient experience, humans would surely be able to construct these things. Even with a slow construction speed, persistence would gradually allow humans to develop these things from small to large.

However, preserving these infrastructures would be the biggest problem that humans would have to solve.

‘Unbelievable! This is unbelievable!

‘Could it be that humans in the next eight years have achieved equal footing with the other races? No, have they reached an absolute hegemonic position?

‘What’s more, they even found a new method to maintain these infrastructures?’

Su Mo saw a train with seven to eight wagons moving on the railway in the distance at a speed of 60 to 70 miles per hour.

Although he was still falling from the sky, Su Mo’s mind returned to the past.

Forgetting all the experiences and memories that happened after descending from the wasteland, at this moment, the dim lights of the locomotive were like a lighthouse in the vast ocean, making him feel at peace.

The harsh sounds from the train horn were like a homecoming anthem, providing the exhausted travelers with the comfort of returning home.

Looking at the scene below him, Su Mo shook his head and wiped his eyes. Still, tears overflowed his eyes and rolled down his cheeks.

For the first time, the wasteland of eight years later gave him a sense of home back on Earth, making him feel as if he was back in Huaxia.

[Record: Estimated landing time is 30 seconds. “Player,” please be prepared for landing.]

[Record: After landing, you will be invincible for 3 minutes. Please familiarize yourself with the environment as soon as possible.]

[Record: “Refugee” identity pre-mission has been revealed. Please open the game panel to check the details of the mission.]

While Su Mo observed the ground below him, the speed of the downward thrust slowed down as he gradually got closer to the landing point.

When the game notifications appeared in front of Su Mo, they were already less than one kilometer from the ground.

‘We’re landing soon?’

Realizing the mission was about to begin, Su Mo quickly pulled back his attention and seized the last moments to observe the lightly illuminated villages and towns below him.
