Wasteland Development Diary

"I told you, I told you, it's feasible! As long as there's enough funding for light seeds! The lowest-level light nano-seeds are the best at adapting because they can't influence the environment, so they need to modify themselves to adapt to the environment."

"As long as there are light seeds, they will undergo qualitative change!"

"Bones don't lie!"

Octopus excitedly waved his eight tentacles.

Zhou Yi focused on the screen of the remote control in his hand.

The Kestrel had already caught up with the high-flying Athlete.

"It's still accelerating, and has currently broken through 75 kilometers per hour."

"It's circling at high altitude."

"It's descending."

After flying for nearly half an hour, Athlete landed diagonally on the open space of the Bone Laboratory.

Upon landing, the triangular pyramid structure turned into a spherical shape, dissipating the impact force by rolling away, and then quickly returned to the stable structure of a triangular pyramid.

Zhou Yi looked at Bi Qi: "Is it imitating the Ridge Hunter?"

The triangular pyramid shape was extremely similar to a triangular prism, and the spherical shape during landing was exactly the same as the defensive posture of the Sea Hunter.

"Without a doubt."

Octopus enthusiastically touched the bone fish triangular pyramid with his tentacles: "It can also be said that they were originally able to transform into this form. Although Ridge Hunters are Grade B advanced creatures, they are also an advanced evolutionary route of bone fish."

"In the Dead Sea, they vaguely realized that the submarine-type electromechanical life form was powerful enough, so they imitated their appearance. In the air, they turned into the Ridge Hunter's form to deter enemies. This is a very common life protection mechanism."

"In the field of survival, bone fish are sensitive."

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "Then why are they so difficult to communicate with?"

On Bi Qi's shiny forehead, his eyes returned to seriousness: "Communication ability is a very special physiological mechanism. Not all life communicates, nor does all life have this direction of evolution."

"Although there are many bone fish, they are not social animals. Even if a large number of bone fish gather together, they are just many individual entities gathered together."

Octopus gesticulated with his tentacles: "They have no altruism, cooperation, dependence, or a clear hierarchy. Sometimes, to avoid predators, they will collectively avoid and migrate, which looks very orderly, but is actually an imitation of large, older bone fish."

"Bone fish are natural living fossils. They are composed of bones from many different lives, and their physiological structure determines their basic ideology. Feeding is their only path to evolution. They absorb dead light energy as the cornerstone to transform and strengthen themselves, and collect more bones to enhance their material variability."

"This experiment shows that if bone fish are given sufficient light seeds, they can indeed quickly complete self-transformation and completely unify the bone structures from different sources throughout their bodies."

"From now on, bone fish have truly broken away from the chaotic instinctive feeding stage, entered a physiologically stable period, and began to use bones to stably accumulate memories and experiences. Just like bone people."

Bone fish need a lot of accumulation and luck to step into the innate wisdom stage of bone people.

The two have different directions.

Bone fish are more akin to beast-form bone people, with chaotic physiological structures and consciousness, and stronger survival abilities than bone people.

"From the perspective of bone density, Athlete has reached the level of a Grade D creature."

Bi Qi examined the white bone triangular pyramid with a laser light.

"As for the improvement in intelligence, they need to continue to accumulate spontaneously, to achieve qualitative change through quantitative change, and it will take more time."

Zhou Yi suddenly thought.

This is very similar to the evolution route of the Samurai Crab.

Weapon Masters are a growth route specializing in the brain field, but it is not easy for them to go further, or rather, the higher the life form, the slower and more difficult it is.

It is no longer possible to rely on the quantity of light seeds to create miracles.

"Its flight duration is limited," Bi Qi added, "I'll test it again."

Octopus took out a bone, patted the bone fish, pointed to the sky, and then made a gesture of a bone flying into the sky, and then gestured in a circle.

So the triangular pyramid-shaped bone fish slowly rotated and took off again.

This time the Kestrel was prepared and followed closely behind to film.

On the remote control screen, the bone fish's flight appeared somewhat stiff, only able to fly straight, with poor control over turning and circling, taking a large circle before returning.

Athlete continued to accelerate, the picture became blurred and zoomed out, and the airflow sound brought by aerial recording was particularly noisy.

The Kestrel said, "For safety reasons, I can only observe from a distance."

"Also, my electronic eye is a new device, but the remote control is a very old model, so the clarity is low."

Zhou Yi asked, "Can I get a new large-screen remote control?"

"Yes."

The Kestrel said, "Replacing it with a large-screen manual terminal device would cost about 600 to 1500 light seeds."

Zhou Yi immediately said, "Buy the best high-end configuration, and go buy it later."

You can't save costs on productivity tools that are used for a long time.

"Zhou, there is also a manual terminal device specially customized for the airframe, which can switch to the sub-machine operation mode. It has an emergency avoidance function, a high-definition projection function that matches the pages of various cities, and comes with a one-year warranty, which costs about 3000 light seeds. This should be the best on the market. Is this okay?"

"…"

Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Buy it, buy the customized version!"

The Kestrel is as always, pursuing the top configuration when applying for funding.

Next, the drone conducted a series of data assessments on the bone fish Athlete.

"In flight mode, the maximum speed is 142 kilometers per hour."

"The battery life is 2 hours and 11 minutes."

"The flight altitude is 2000-4000 meters."

"The turning sensitivity is insufficient, and it is better at flying straight."

"In underwater navigation mode, the maximum speed is 54 kilometers per hour."

"It will enter the triangular pyramid shape when taking off, switch to the spherical shape when landing, and return to the submarine shape when entering the Dead Sea. All three shapes can be switched freely."

"Among the three shapes, the static triangular pyramid shape consumes almost nothing, and can maintain and absorb dead light on land for a long time. The flight shape consumes the most energy, and will be exhausted in 2 hours. The submarine shape consumes less energy and can maintain operation for a long time."

Bone fish can indeed fly.

Unfortunately, the battery life is only 2 hours, and the speed is not as good as the Ridge Hunter.

But Zhou Yi was still very satisfied.

The bone fish courier completed a breakthrough from scratch and gained short-term flight capabilities. The next step is to continue to accumulate, gradually familiarize and consolidate the ability, and further try to improve battery life and speed.

In the current environment, bone fish couriers still mainly deliver goods underwater, one is for safety, and the other is for concealment.

This time, a new branch has evolved, and it needs a name.

Zhou Yi named it "Rocket Bone Fish", hoping that one day the bone fish can break through the high altitude and fly to farther places.

Next, he helped the remaining seven bone fish complete their evolution.

Six of them successfully transformed into Rocket Bone Fish.

The latest novels are first published on Six Nine Book Bar!

The seventh one went in another direction.

Courier "Big Mouth" turned into a huge scoop-shaped creature with hard longitudinal ridges on its back, thickened bone carapace, multiple hook feet, and a freely rotating, serrated sword tail.

"This is a bone horseshoe crab."

Bi Qi didn't care: "It's just much bigger than ordinary bone horseshoe crabs, mostly because of ingesting a large amount of white clams, and the suitable environment of the breeding platform."

"Bone horseshoe crabs are Grade D creatures. They have a certain combat capability, their defense is not weak, their tails have strong fighting ability, and their hook feet can tear enemies. They use their tails to support their bodies to jump, and can bounce and swim in the Dead Sea."

"The bone structure of this species is very tough, the core structure is light, the mechanical strength is high, the absorption capacity is high, and the load-bearing capacity is strong, and it has extremely high stability... Just talking about bone strength, it is higher than that of Rocket Bone Fish."

Zhou Yi suddenly understood.

In terms of size, this form is very suitable for delivering goods.

…

The bone fish side is progressing rapidly, but the weapon master's strengthening transformation is still in the queue.

Da Vinci needs to have a major operation first.

Qin Mo's strengthening transformation surgery finally started on a rainy day.

Qin Shu sat on the seat outside the ward, constantly looking at the tightly closed door emitting red light, looking a little restless.

Zhou Yi waited quietly.

The entire operation lasted for four hours.

The ward door finally emitted green light.

Da Vinci's imaging car slowly drove out from inside, with a simple electronic smiley face appearing on it: "The operation was very successful."

"The patient's physiological indicators are all within a safe range, and the enhanced body already has a clear signal response. We have activated and regenerated the existing lung cells to deal with pulmonary fibrosis. A sterile environment is currently required, so please do not enter the ward."

Qin Shu's tense face suddenly regained its radiance.

"That's good, that's good..."

He bowed to the imaging car: "Thank you doctor, thank you!"

Then he bowed to Zhou Yi: "Chairman, thank you for helping my old man like this!"

"It's good that he's okay."

Zhou Yi patted the young man's arm, and then asked the imaging car: "What needs to be done next?"

"It needs at least a month of recuperation."

"Then gradually start exercising, because after the lungs are enhanced, it will also stimulate the body to increase the amount of exercise."

"The lung enhancement body implanted is a Grade E-5 'Adjustment', which itself is a relatively gentle high-precision light imprint, and the physiological load is relatively light. However, there will still be a certain rejection reaction, which varies depending on the individual. The patient needs to take a low-dose inhibitor pill every day, which has no impact on daily life."

"Even if you forget to take the medicine, don't worry, ordinary rejection reactions will pass quickly if you endure them. However, from a medical point of view, I recommend taking inhibitors for a long time. This can keep the enhanced body stable for a long time and serve the human body, and can also improve the function of related lung regulation organs, which is beneficial to health."

"Remember to come for a check-up every six months."

"Okay, okay," Qin Shu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Zhou Yi suddenly thought: "Why did Ding Ye become addicted to drugs before?"

"Because he used the craftsman's light imprint to transform and strengthen his spine, and the precision and stability were far inferior to the electromechanical light imprint. Qin Mo's lung implantation is a high-precision light imprint, and the side effects are much smaller. Furthermore, Ding Ye used the enhanced body for a long time with overload, relying on drugs to curb rejection and stress reactions, which eventually evolved into a high-risk critical illness."

Da Vinci answered Zhou Yi's doubts.

The high risk of the knight was actually doomed from the moment of the operation.

"The patient needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a week, plus there are other critical surgeries," Da Vinci said, "The weapon master's transformation and strengthening needs to be postponed for at least four days."

The hospital's manpower is becoming increasingly stretched, relying entirely on an electromechanical doctor to rotate 24 hours a day.

Although Da Vinci is enjoying it... being able to gain a lot of experience and improvement, but this is indeed not a good thing.

Da Vinci responded: "Chairman, I am also recruiting doctors and nurses from the outside world through the Holy Mountain, but I have not yet received a definite response."

Zhou Yi suddenly remembered.

Ding Ye said in his last words that his senior sister Feng Ying was coming to handle his funeral. Feng Ying is a pharmacist.

It's already from spring to midsummer.

The person hasn't come yet.

Could something have happened on the way?
