Wasteland Development Diary

The winter battle is a foregone conclusion, but the company's development cannot be stalled because of it.

The better the Wasteland Development Company operates, the more it enhances the chances of winning the War of Honor.

Zhou Yi looked at the diary in his hand.

The latest page read:

——Develop a technology.

It has been nearly a year since landing, and the company's initial accumulation has been basically completed. With a relatively ample reserve of Light Seeds, it is time to engage in the field of science and technology.

Zhou Yi thought it through clearly.

With the current manpower and resources, it is best to focus on investing in one technology project first. This technology must be in line with the company's development direction to form a virtuous cycle.

The company has two major unique core industries.

The first is the development of Dead Sea resources, which is currently being promoted by the Scavenger Team.

The second is Wasteland Express. Although the express industry is a new field launched by the company and started the latest, it has developed the fastest. With further expansion of scale, there is still huge potential in the future.

Technology research and development should be centered around these two major industries.

Zhou Yi sought opinions from many employees.

They are natives of the Wasteland world, and their social awareness of this era is clearer and more profound than his own.

A Jin was the first to stand up and say, "Chairman, can we develop a scavenger enhancement technology to enhance everyone in the company, so that humans can also enter the Dead Sea to pan for gold? This way, our scavengers can all use their specialties. The most numerous professionals in the company are scavengers."

"Good idea, but not realistic at the moment. Sit down."

"Chairman, but isn't there enhancement modification technology?"

The boy refused to give up: "If we can make this technology stronger, maybe we can do it."

Zhou Yi asked Red Falcon to contact Da Vinci at the hospital for a professional explanation of this issue.

The mechanical and electrical doctor said: "Enhancement modification surgery is very burdensome for humans, and not everyone can withstand it. Qin Mo meets the surgical requirements because his innate physiological qualities are excellent."

"After the organs become enhanced bodies, there will be stress, rejection, and allergic reactions, requiring the administration of corresponding suppressive drugs. Adapting to the new body also requires a long process."

"The idea you proposed requires at least complete enhancement modification of the entire skin, eyes, nose, mouth, throat, ears, and excretory organs to ensure that the enhanced body can form a buffer between the human body and the Dead Sea. Current medical technology cannot do this."

A Jin scratched his head: "So it's so difficult... No wonder humans can't go down to the Dead Sea."

Next, Gong Zheng also said: "Chairman, in my shallow experience, the intersection of the Dead Sea development and express delivery industries is the cultivation of ordinary low-level Light Seed carriers."

"The Scavenger Team is composed of Weapon Masters, whose predecessors and foundation are the Samurai Crabs. The core of Wasteland Express is the Bone Fish couriers, which are also the most inconspicuous Light Seed life forms in the Dead Sea."

"Can we go further and increase the cultivation and evolution promotion of them?"

Zhou Yi nodded.

This idea is very good.

"But they are two completely different species, and the cultivation methods are also different."

Qian Su echoed: "Samurai Crabs are brave and active and require a certain amount of combat improvement. Bone Fish are naturally lazy and rely on bones as an important physiological supplement... Specific cultivation still needs to be subdivided."

One employee suddenly said: "No, they have an absolute commonality."

Zhou Yi noticed that it was Octopus Brother Biki.

This head of the Bone Laboratory, former Silver Badge Alchemist, propped up his eight claws: "I study Dead Sea fossils and have been in contact with a large number of Dead Sea species."

"For the bottom-level creatures, whether Samurai Crabs or Bone Fish, they are in a state of energy deficiency for a long time. They cannot ingest enough Dead Light energy in the seabed, where there are a large number of various impurities, predators, and frequent outbreaks of Dead Sea disasters."

"Their bones often show deformation and brittle fractures, and the gaps in their bones continue to increase. I compared the bones of the company's Bone Fish, and even our Bone Fish couriers have this situation very commonly."

"In simple terms, it's a problem of malnutrition."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised: "Samurai Crabs and Bone Fish... have osteoporosis?"

"That's right."

Biki's eyes were serious: "You can see their living conditions from their bones. Bones don't lie. For Samurai Crabs and Bone Fish, the best way and the most effective way to take them a step further is to release Light Seeds to them. Especially Bone Fish, their characteristics are the most obvious. Samurai Crabs are more complicated because they have flesh and blood."

"This approach will be very costly, but I think it will definitely be effective. High-level flesh and blood or bone creatures have very high bone strength. This is not from nothing, but a transformation after a lot of energy supply and modification."

Zhou Yi suddenly understood: "That makes sense. This is indeed a direction."

Doctor Da Vinci also participated in the discussion remotely through Red Falcon.

"Chairman, enhancement modification is somewhat difficult for humans, but it is much easier for Light Seed carriers because their physiological structure is inherently compatible with the Light Imprint structure."

"I think, with the voluntary consent of the Weapon Masters, we can try Light Imprint transplantation on them."

The mechanical and electrical doctor said: "Scavengers often come to the hospital for treatment."

"They often encounter other Light Seed carriers, including predators, and also encounter rapids and Light Burst impacts while searching in the wild for a long time. Although there are currently special outer armors and shields, the problem of their insufficient strength still exists."

"Their Light Seed organ is the cephalothorax, and there is no fixed Light Imprint structure formed inside. It should be that the Weapon Master form itself has not entered a truly mature stage, so we can do surgery to implant Light Imprints. If they don't need it in the future, the Light Imprints can also be removed or replaced."

He wants to perform artificial surgery on the Weapon Masters to enhance their bodies.

Zhou Yi looked at Xie Xun, who represented the Scavenger Team at the meeting: "What do you think?"

Xie Xun tapped his cephalothorax with his claws, and a voice sounded in the translator: "I think as long as everyone is willing to try, there is no problem."

"Xie Fei often thinks we are too slow. It would be much better if we could speed up. He wants to install equipment on his body that can move quickly in the Dead Sea."

There were no objections from any party.

So Zhou Yi immediately made a decision to proceed in both directions simultaneously.

Da Vinci's side will perform Light Imprint modification on the willing Weapon Masters.

Zhou Yi will personally feed Light Seeds to see if it can cure the Bone Fish's osteoporosis and malnutrition.

……

Location: Bone Laboratory.

The experimenter is courier number 001, Bone Fish "Jian Jiang."

Zhou Yi poured a Light Seed from the Light Seed Box and fed it to Jian Jiang.

This made the Bone Fish a little more energetic, no longer lazily lying on the ground, but moving its body.

Zhou Yi continued this step.

After feeding a total of 20 Light Seeds, Octopus Brother Biki suddenly said: "Chairman, please wait a moment."

Zhou Yi also noticed.

At this time, the Light Soot Sand on Jian Jiang's body surface was peeling off.

Originally, most of the bones on the Bone Fish were of different sizes and disordered, with a feeling of scrap recycling. But at this moment, the bones on Jian Jiang's body were changing shape, and the entire bone structure was being fine-tuned and reshaped.

It shook off a pile of black grit and debris.

Jian Jiang's bones underwent a huge change, and the shape was different from before.

Biki watched and waved his eight claws: "This direction is right, it's right! They are indeed basically on the basic survival line, so they cannot complete the original accumulation, open comprehensive enhancement, and embark on the road of evolution!"

Zhou Yi also looked strange.

The Bone Fish courier in front of him had turned into a teardrop shape, with a flat back like a deck, bone fins like a bridge, and even a propeller structure at the tail... a miniature version of the Sea God.

Zhou Yi was reminded of the Weapon Master.

The Samurai Crab imitated himself and evolved into a Weapon Master.

The Bone Fish courier took the Sea God as a benchmark and transformed itself into a submarine form.

However, this form is not static. Jian Jiang still has supporting bone fins at the bottom, and can still move on land.

Zhou Yi tried to synchronize his consciousness again, but still could not communicate with the Bone Fish.

I don't know if their talent is not focused on intelligence, or some other reason.

Even the Light-Absorbing Monster can say a few words.

But the Bone Fish can't.

Biki put on a pair of goggles and did a full body check on the Bone Fish, and then said: "Chairman, Jian Jiang's bone density has increased significantly. The Light Seeds you gave it gave it enough energy to strengthen its body."

"This is not its limit, because its local bones are not completely connected, and it needs more energy."

So Zhou Yi continued to feed Light Seeds.

After eating another 32 Light Seeds, the gaps between Jian Jiang's bones were almost invisible, and the body surface became smooth, and the bone density increased visibly.

Zhou Yi continued to feed.

He fed, and the Bone Fish ate, completely without refusal.

Until after swallowing another 241 Light Seeds, Jian Jiang underwent another round of dramatic changes.

The submarine-shaped Bone Fish's entire body bones were once again massively reorganized, turning into a cone standing on the ground nearly two meters high, like a triangular tower assembled from white bones.

Biki's eyes were dull, and he propped up his eight claws and walked around the triangular tower several times: "What kind of evolutionary branch is this? No, no, Bone Fish should evolve into Bone Horseshoe Crabs, or Bone Jellyfish."

"Did it fail? Did it become an aberrant species?"

Red Falcon also said after scanning: "This is an unprecedented aberrant direction. There is no similar description in the Recursive City database."

Zhou Yi suddenly saw that each layer of bone structure of the triangular tower began to rotate slowly.

The rotation continued to accelerate, accompanied by a clicking sound, like unlocking one lock after another.

Suddenly, the triangular tower spewed out a beam of light that soared into the sky and disappeared into the air in an instant.

Zhou Yi and Biki were both stunned in place.

One second later.

Zhou Yi and Octopus Brother gave each other a high five!

Bone Fish's rich breeding method, a great success!
