Wasteland Development Diary

An Hong and Chen Shi's joining made Qian Su overjoyed.

"That's great, Chairman. I was just about to ask you for people. The number of deliverymen is constantly increasing. The Victory Serpents can still undergo regular check-ups through Maria Hospital, but the condition of the Bone Fish has become difficult to judge."

"I don't know if it's due to the high-intensity work, but the Champions are now easily depressed and sometimes easily angered. However, compared to the previous work, I have not increased their working hours. Instead, I have introduced more Victory Serpents to take on a considerable part of the delivery tasks."

"I don't understand this point now, and Dr. Da Vinci can't be sure either, because he has no experience in treating Bone Fish, and there are no special cases for them in the Holy Mountain records."

An Hong and Chen Shi examined the Champion.

Zhou Yi and Qian Su watched the whole process, and Da Vinci also rushed over to observe and learn.

The two Bone Fish therapists stretched their arms into the bone crevices of the Bone Fish and checked each area individually.

They took out gravel, small iron pieces, fishing line, and some rotten plastic film from the bone crevices.

It's completely invisible from the outside that there would be so many things stuck inside.

The Champion nudged the two Bone Men with its head to express gratitude, and then flexibly twisted its body and flipped over, its posture also becoming much lighter.

An Hong explained to Zhou Yi and Qian Su: "The bone structure of Bone Fish easily gets stuck with various small objects in the Dead Sea. These things will affect the movement of their bones, causing friction and pain between the bones, and over time, it will also cause local bone necrosis and detachment."

"They are unwilling to move except to find bones, because as long as they swim, they will encounter various debris and fragments in the Dead Sea. This is also a self-protective instinct."

He looked at the lively Champion: "The Bone Fish deliverymen travel far more than ordinary Bone Fish. Their journey of a few days reaches the swimming distance of Bone Fish for several months. Plus, the speed is very fast, so their condition is much more serious and requires regular cleaning, otherwise, it will be unbearable."

"I see, I still know too little about Bone Fish."

Qian Su listened with a smile: "With your joining, the health of the deliverymen is now guaranteed."

An Hong added: "In addition to cleaning, some of their bones also need to be repaired and replaced."

"Our previous method was to replace severely damaged old bones with new bones. Although there will be a period of adaptation to the new bones, the Bone Fish have a strong adaptability and can quickly get used to and connect this part."

The function graph on Da Vinci's bar screen shook rapidly: "Excuse me, is it true that no anesthesia is needed at all when performing bone replacement surgery on Bone Fish?"

"No, at least we don't use it."

An Hong answered without hesitation, its voice gentle: "Although Bone Fish are not smart, they also know that replacement can help them survive better."

A question mark appeared on the electromechanical doctor's screen: "I once tried to perform a local biopsy on the damaged area of a Bone Fish, but they struggled violently and could not perform a stable operation at all, and conventional anesthetics were completely ineffective."

"It should be because of race relations."

An Hong touched the skeletal body of the Champion. Although it was only the first meeting, the Bone Fish deliveryman was not defensive towards it.

Previously, only Zheng Tao, who had raised it from childhood, and the Black Hand Mushrooms could enjoy this treatment. Even if Zhou Yi approached, they would show fear and retreat, and their bodies would even tremble.

"Among bone-based lifeforms, the most numerous are Bone Fish, followed by Bone Men, and the third most are Bone Worms."

He said softly: "To outsiders, we and humans are more like two branches of the same group. From a physiological structural point of view, we are closer to Bone Fish, possessing similar basic physiological structures."

"We almost never replace bones, to avoid losing the memories and survival experiences recorded on the bones. However, due to their survival methods, Bone Fish have large areas of damage on their bodies, and all the bones in their bodies are continuously worn and replaced. I think this is one of the reasons why they cannot retain memories and are always muddle-headed."

Zhou Yi was in awe: "Have you been studying Bone Fish before?"

"No, Chairman, I used to be a miner, mining a light spar mine underwater with other Bone Men."

"Honestly, the income was not bad, but it was too tiring and the damage was severe. So I later left there and found this small mountain town to live in, but I didn't expect the actual situation to be different from what I thought, but it was replaced with another kind of fatigue."

An Hong was very frank about his past: "We miners wear special coats to avoid our bodies being impacted and stuck by Dead Sea fragments, essentially the same as Bone Fish."

"The difference between us and them is that our initial physiological structure allows us to use tools, while they lack such awareness and conditions."

"But how to take care of and contact Bone Fish is what I learned when I came to this small mountain town. The residents of the town also took a long time to summarize effective techniques."

I see.

Wild Bone Fish cannot remember things due to bone damage, while company Bone Fish have high intensity and low wear, making them easy to train.

Zhou Yi suddenly thought.

In other words, if the outer bones of the Bone Fish can be protected, their experience and memory can continue to accumulate. Over time, qualitative changes may occur from quantitative changes.

Zhou Yi immediately put forward this idea.

Dr. Da Vinci was the first to approve: "From a physiological structural point of view, it is in line with the laws of growth. Wisdom is the result of the accumulation of survival experience and learning correction. As long as accumulation and memory can be completed, then they can adapt to various environments and change themselves."

Qian Su understood Zhou Yi's implication: "Chairman, I understand. The company's Bone Fish deliverymen need to be protected to make them smarter and able to complete tasks more skillfully and efficiently."

An Hong raised a question: "But how can this be done? After all, bones are bones, and wear and tear in the Dead Sea is inevitable. Are you going to make the Bone Fish wear special protective clothing like us Bone Men?"

Zhou Yi gave a thumbs up: "That's the way, put on delivery uniforms for the Bone Fish! Print our company's logo on them to represent that our company and other cooperative electromechanical city deliverymen are delivering goods."

An Hong said: "But the clothes are easily scratched by various fragments, and they have to move around quickly over long distances, so it is impossible to block those sharp fragments and rapid currents."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "What you said is also correct. However, the delivery uniform I am talking about is not made of common fabrics, but to imitate the successful experience of the Victory Serpents..."

The Victory Serpents attach light-cured sand to their body surface to create a natural armor. The internal structure of electromechanical life will be affected by the outer layer of light-cured sand, but the light-nano organs of flesh and blood life can operate independently, but there is no pressure in this regard.

If the Bone Fish can use their bone structure as a foundation and fix a layer of light-cured sand shell on the outside, they can completely block various fragments and debris outside the body, and the wear will be greatly reduced.

Da Vinci turned on the spotlight: "Artificial muscle strengthening surgery, this is strengthening surgery!"

The electromechanical doctor rotated his four arms, showing great pleasure: "In the medical field, we will perform artificial muscle strengthening surgery on some individuals with muscle atrophy or who need to transplant strengthening bodies."

"There are two methods for this surgery. The first is hormone regulation. Through muscle strengthening tissues, it can stimulate muscle development and create the strongest muscles that best suit the surgeon."

"The second is prosthetic filling, in which special prosthetic muscles are filled or covered to cope with harsh environments or increase the body's load-bearing capacity."

"Light-cured sand can be used to perform prosthetic filling on Bone Fish. This refined direction of surgery has not yet been recorded or researched before. I request to engage in this surgery! This technology itself is very mature."

The latest novel is first published on 69 Bookstore!

With Zhou Yi's permission, Da Vinci immediately began to prepare for the operation.

Da Vinci evenly smeared light-cured sand on the outer bone surface of the Bone Fish with medical gel. The whole process was very delicate and cumbersome.

Victory Serpent Horned Head also participated as a consultant. As a veteran in using light-cured sand to make outer armor, he observed from left to right, and then swam all the way to Zhou Yi, blinking his one eye.

In the same frequency of consciousness, the Victory Serpent said: "Chairman, there is a place where a shell can be made naturally. It is in the cave tunnel of Yalong Bay, where a large amount of light-cured sand can be activated, allowing them to complete accumulation and attachment faster."

Zhou Yi remembered the Yalong, whose whole body was covered with light-cured sand.

So he communicated with Da Vinci and transferred the Champion to the cave.

Yalong Bay opened the cave and also participated in the operation.

It was dark when everyone was busy.

A day passed.

Then another day.

At noon on the third day, the electronic eyes of the Red Falcon suddenly lit up: "The operation is complete and very successful!"

Da Vinci, An Hong, and Chen Shi came out from inside with the operated Bone Fish.

At this time, the Bone Fish "Champion" is no longer the white bones of the previous appearance. The whole body is covered with a thin black matte texture skin. The thickness of the light-cured sand is much thinner than that of the Victory Serpent.

The Champion was swimming in the Dead Sea, still moving flexibly. It seemed to be very curious about its new body, constantly turning around in place, or quickly turning back and changing direction.

Stable function diagrams appeared on Da Vinci's long screen: "After four attempts, we finally found the most suitable thickness to ensure that the light-cured sand is at 3mm. This has the least impact on the normal movement of the Bone Fish, but it is enough to block various fragments and gravel from the outside world."

"If the Bone Fish deliverymen gradually adapt to this body, they can also be thickened on this basis to improve defense and impact resistance."

Zhou Yi looked at the big black fish-shaped Champion, and felt satisfied in his heart.

Then, he took out the prepared paint cans and painted the delivery uniforms of the deliverymen.

After an hour of busy work.

Several white patterns were added to one side of the Champion's black body surface. The most conspicuous position in the center was the crab logo representing the Wasteland Development Company, the dictionary representing Recursive City on the left, and the coral symbolizing Coral Mouth on the right.

The other side of the Bone Fish's body was written with the number 001, representing the No. 1 deliveryman.

Zhou Yi was very satisfied with this.

"Deliverymen will be strengthened in this way."

In the next few days, six Bone Fish deliverymen were equipped with delivery uniforms, had their own numbers, and became more formal and safe.

Zhou Yi was paying attention to the Bone Fish when the Red Falcon sent an emergency.

"There are unknown creatures appearing at the Great Buddha."

"Suspected to be B-level life."
