Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi opened his eyes.

He found himself back inside the submarine, surrounded by circular valves.

His hand was still pressed against the silver marking on the airtight compartment.

This was the Kestrel, encapsulated as a Tinder lifeform.

Restoring it wouldn't be difficult.

Zhou Yi activated the No. 2 Machine Body, Xiao Fu, within him, and the submarine before him abruptly changed, its surface displaying glowing linear structures. These lines ran parallel and intersected, forming different three-dimensional light patterns in localized areas, with two regions showing the most concentrated light.

His own body also transformed into a particle light form.

Xiao Fu's information came into his mind: "This entire Circulation Device, the Tracer is the only controller. Only when the Tracer connects to the Circulation structure can the entire system take effect."

Zhou Yi felt like he had become a CPU on a massive circuit board, able to reach every area in an instant.

The [Light Wheel Well] section looked like a white disc, with the Tracer's location as the center, and several small flames on it.

These flames represented the lifeforms nearby. Consciousness radiating outwards was displayed as flame forms on the Light Wheel Well. The stronger the consciousness, the brighter the flame.

Most lifeforms didn't have flames.

Architectural lifeforms showed a bonfire. Its flames fluctuated in intensity, sometimes erupting like a volcano, but very unstable, belonging to a dangerous Tinder.

The Company's Emerald City, Maria Hospital, and Yalong Bay Base formed three bonfires.

Besides that, there were a few small flames, but they were all similar.

Zhou Yi then looked at the next Circulation Device.

The [Halo Instrument] was woven from numerous light rays, resembling a slowly rotating stage light in the darkness.

Zhou Yi moved the Halo Instrument along the sealing compartment door with his gaze, aiming at the marking on it.

Streams of electricity surged from the surface of the light sphere, instantly stretching and unfolding the flat form of the Kestrel, and the quadcopter drone was restored to its original state in an instant.

The Kestrel flew next to Zhou Yi, its electronic eyes flashing red light: "It's unbelievable technology, able to directly change the structure of matter and transform it into an energy state."

Zhou Yi was relieved.

The restoration process consumed almost no energy, but encapsulating and transforming into a Tinder lifeform consumed a lot of energy. Originally, the Tracer had taken a fancy to the Kestrel and wanted to collect it first and then persuade it, but the Kestrel refused to compromise.

Then Xiao Fu directly attacked Zhou Yi, this high-quality Tinder, which led to the series of events that followed.

The crisis was resolved.

At this moment, Zhou Yi noticed that the Bone Man Jacob was lying on the ground, unconscious.

Xiao Fu said: "He's just unconscious. I used the [Halo Instrument] to put him to sleep temporarily, it doesn't affect his vital signs."

That's good.

Zhou Yi carried the Bone Man employee on his shoulder with one hand and went out of the submarine.

The samurai crabs outside maintained their guard.

This confrontation and dialogue took place in the realm of consciousness and lasted for a very short time. The entire process, including the inspection inside the submarine, took no more than 30 minutes.

Zhou Yi first entered the adjacent cave and told the St. Petersburg that he was safe and thanked it for its help.

"Friend, safety is the best outcome."

The mercenary submarine said: "Since you're okay, I'll leave first. I stayed here because I was afraid that there would be trouble for Yalong Bay. I still have to go to 'Ba Gong' to finish the mission and then return to Peace City for reorganization."

"According to our agreement, after the winter, I will rest for one to two months and then report here."

"Then goodbye, friend, I wish you success and hope that Yalong Bay's berth expansion will be completed soon."

The black cigar-shaped submarine sank into the Dead Sea and quickly disappeared.

...

Having settled the Tracer.

Zhou Yi began to carry out modifications and expansions non-stop.

Yalong Bay does not rely on light blockers for supply, it can directly draw dead light energy from the Dead Sea through eight trestle bridges and the bottom.

Switching the navigation state to a fixed base, the continuous high energy consumption stopped, and charging began to accelerate sharply.

The cave expansion proceeded at an amazing speed.

The shelter area on the far right of Yalong Bay continued to collapse with rubble and dust, as if invisible workers were working on the site, with constant clanging sounds and flashes of light from time to time in local areas.

In just 4 days, a brand new underwater cave was completed.

The only regret is that the four caves are already the structural limit of Yalong Bay.

Considering that the Yalong and Poseidon each occupy a long-term berth, there are only two temporary berths available for external use.

Yalong Bay said: "The real berths are on the left and right sides of the trestle bridge, and the outside is actually very spacious. However, the internal maintenance service area is indeed limited, and a sufficiently complex machine structure is needed to carry out continuous maintenance and inspection."

"It turns out that most architectural lifeforms cannot move on the Dead Sea, no wonder I have hardly seen individuals similar to me. If they need to draw dead light and energy, I can directly transmit it to them."

"Now that there is no need to supply the Yalong, and there are no ships to maintain, I have no consumption, and my charging speed by drawing energy from the Dead Sea is much faster than light blockers."

"If there is no consumption, the Yalong and I can complete 100% charging between two sunrises."

Zhou Yi thought to himself that it was no wonder the cave was completed in 4 days.

The submarine base is much larger than Emerald City and consumes more energy, this charging speed is truly heaven-defying.

Yalong Bay continued: "I have a suggestion, please connect me to them, let them connect to my machine, so that my excess energy can be transferred to them."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Is the submarine base going to be a generator for architectural lifeforms?

But the risk is not small... after all, there was a destructive precedent like the temple before.

Zhou Yi was a little hesitant for a while.

Although he can control Emerald City and Maria Hospital to a certain extent, the contact time with the architectural lifeform group is less than a year at most.

Will the instinct for energy orientation dominate their behavior, causing them to go crazy?

Will mutual connection cause chaos?

These are all unpredictable.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

However, Yalong Bay insisted: "Please believe me. This attempt is of great significance. If the connection between architectural lifeforms can be completed, the energy problem can be solved, and I am sufficient to provide them with long-term stable energy."

"I also need to verify that in a stable environment, whether a certain degree of communication can also be carried out through energy. I will cautiously protect myself, please rest assured, I will not fully expand the structure."

"Chairman, I want to make a change, like the Forerunners."

Zhou Yi finally said: "Okay, but I'll stop when I say stop."

"Yes."

This experiment between architectural lifeforms began.

Zhou Yi first ordered Emerald City to unfold its steel and iron bones, extend further, and make the first direct contact with Yalong Bay.

The moment the two touched, Emerald City reacted strongly.

"Energy, a lot of energy!"

"The charging speed is unprecedented."

"It can be filled in less than a day."

"It's, amazing."

Emerald City began to continuously absorb energy.

This behavior did not have other incidental destruction or devouring.

From the process and results, it was no different from collecting dead light with a light blocker.

The other end of Yalong Bay had more definite findings: "Sure enough... this verifies one of my inferences."

"The Forerunners were destroyed and perished in the dual chaos of consciousness and energy because they completely gave up their dominance, allowing their machine bodies to be subjected to external shocks and changes time and time again."

"But as long as a certain distance is maintained, instead of directly connecting large areas of the machine bodies, the interaction between architectural lifeforms will be reduced to a controllable range. And in this space, energy transmission is safe."

"I imitate you, outputting through the energy level, although I can't communicate directly with other architectural lifeforms like you. But energy transmission alone represents a kind of information, and this stable connection is the basis for establishing communication."

"Chairman, thank you sincerely, you have shown me the hope of this path."

The success of this attempt made Zhou Yi overjoyed. The energy upgrade was completed in an unexpected way, which means that several buildings can develop and grow faster.

The value of Yalong Bay cannot be reflected by data.

Emerald City is a wanderer who woke up after many years of sleep, Maria Hospital is a lonely doctor trapped on Snake Island, and Yalong Bay is a knowledgeable scientist and thinker.

It has a unique spirit of adventure and innovation.

Zhou Yi then connected Maria Hospital to Yalong Bay and found that the effect was also good. He conveyed their greetings to each of the three.

Whether it was Emerald City, Maria, or Yalong Bay, they all showed great interest in other similar beings.

Especially Maria, whose talkative characteristics were fully exposed.

"Shareholder, please help me greet Emerald City and ask if it can give me some red exterior walls or bricks."

"Also, tell Emerald City that its roof is very special, but will there be any problems if a piece is missing?"

"Please also ask Yalong Bay, I would like to inquire if there are other medical buildings similar to me. What are their forms and lives, and how do they get along with doctors and patients? I am very curious."

"Can you say another word to Dr. Da Vinci? He is really great, it is very pleasant to work with him, please tell him to continue to cheer, and I will continue to assist and fully support him as always."

...

Zhou Yi, the translator, was exhausted and dizzy.

Forget it.

Seeing that Yalong Bay has transformed itself into a super generator, let them chat to their heart's content.

Today, I am the ruthless chat room typist!
