Wasteland Development Diary

The kestrel flew back to Emerald City in the setting sun.

It brought back a beautifully crafted wooden box with its mechanical claws. The wooden textured case was polished smooth and delicate, with the Recursion City dictionary logo engraved on it.

Below the logo was written in Chinese:

【NO.2017】

【Customized by Wasteland Development Company】

【C-5】

The first two are easy to understand, a number and a customer name.

Zhou Yi examined the packaging box: "This customized controller is C-5 grade?"

"Yes."

The kestrel introduced: "It adopts a brand new fifth-generation electromechanical light printing, with extremely high precision and stable without delay. The highest level of controller technology is C grade. Above that are control cabins with higher integration and more complex functions, mainly used for controlling multiple sub-units, which also require high computing power."

According to the drone's prompt, Zhou Yi pressed the dictionary mark in the center of the box lid, and the lid automatically lifted and opened.

On the sponge layer was an 11-inch black-edged tablet computer and a black control handle.

Inside was an instruction manual, showing the basic operation methods with simple diagrams.

The handle and the screen can be combined, or they can be separated and operated independently.

The advantage of using touch control is that it is convenient and intuitive.

The handle operation is more delicate, each button has its associated commands. If you master it skillfully, the operability is higher, and there is also vibration feedback from body collisions and damage.

For daily use, touch screen is enough.

Zhou Yi swiped the screen with his finger and found that there was indeed a huge improvement in clarity and fineness.

The kestrel introduced: "The resolution of the old controller was 1280×960, this customized screen has reached 3840×2160, and the visual display and recognition ability is more accurate."

"It has high-fidelity speakers and is equipped with special noise-canceling headphones, which can process the noise of the Dead Sea and high-altitude airflow in layers to better identify the sound on the other end."

The headphones under the remote control look like two milky white rubber balls. Put them in your ears to isolate outside sounds.

However, Zhou Yi was most concerned about the common functions.

He tapped the dictionary icon on the screen with his finger.

The Recursion City page immediately popped up on the screen. Under the large screen, more information can be seen on the same page.

Opening the purchased music, the sound quality can also be heard to have improved significantly. Opening a video of the Electromechanical Masters Competition, the high-resolution picture effect is obvious, and you can clearly see the metal nuts and wrapping coils on the contestants.

The screen projection function is also simple and easy to use. Click and slide outward to project it on the wall.

The kestrel emphasized the emergency avoidance mechanism.

"This function can protect the electromechanical life connected to the controller. If the electromechanical life is confirmed to be in danger, the connection between the two will be cut off and terminated to avoid signal intrusion."

Zhou Yi didn't understand: "Then how can it protect you?"

"Zhou, now my main body is no longer this rescue machine, but this terminal device. All my data has been transferred to the chip structure integrated in this controller. There is a larger storage space and computing power here."

Zhou Yi suddenly understood.

This is equivalent to the kestrel's external brain, and it is indeed the safest to be with him.

He looked at the tablet controller in his hand: "Can electromechanical cities independently manufacture such complex electronic products?"

To produce tablet computers, you need the industrial capacity to manufacture a whole set of parts such as plastics, semiconductors, and integrated circuits.

If they have this kind of industrial capacity, in principle, electromechanical life should be able to manufacture a large number of cheap sub-units, export various industrial products, and have a greater impact on the entire world.

But neither on the human city page nor on the electromechanical city page, Zhou Yi did not see similar industrial products for sale.

"Unfortunately, electromechanical cities do not have that ability."

The kestrel's voice came from the tablet's speakers: "The existing technological foundation of electromechanical cities is based on existing semi-finished and finished products. This controller was transformed from intact equipment left over from the Age of Gods."

"It is very difficult to replicate the products of the Age of Gods, mainly for two reasons."

"One is the lack of raw materials. There is very little land available for development, and it is impossible to mine and produce various raw materials on a large scale, resulting in high costs."

"The second is the use of light printing as a substitute. Light printing devices can also achieve basically similar effects, but they are not as delicate, precise, and diverse as the technology of the Age of Gods."

"The original devices of the Age of Gods are the most compatible with electromechanical life, with a high degree of matching. Using one means one less, so the price is still increasing year by year."

"With the continuous development of electromechanical light printing, the light printing that can be applied has now broken through the 5th generation, and the research field is using the 6th and 7th generations, and the accuracy of light printing is gradually being improved. Nowadays, human cities are mass-producing cheap low-level light prints, while electromechanical cities are focusing on promoting the development of high-end light prints."

Zhou Yi thought.

It turns out that electromechanical life was also a porter and transformer of human information age at the beginning.

However, light printing has been developed to this day and can replace most functions.

Zhou Yi also tried the sub-unit operation.

Controlling the Poseidon was easier than expected. The view is provided by the electronic telescope on the bridge, and there is also a circular radar on the screen, which can detect various obstacles around. The only problem is that the first-person perspective operation will cause a bit of dizziness after a long time.

Overall, the large-screen controller does improve the operating experience significantly.

This expenditure is worth it.

The kestrel also said: "When I came back, Steel Refinement Duke and I exchanged some information. He said that Steel Refinement City had arrested a strengthener who was fighting in the street. After interrogation, the strengthener said that he was going to Emerald City to pick up a friend. Steel Refinement Duke thought this person was suspicious, so he notified me."

"That strengthener is Feng Ying. She has been imprisoned in the local prison for a month."

Zhou Yi looked puzzled.

This pharmacist first beat up patients, causing her to lose her job, and now she is fighting and going to jail in Steel Refinement City.

Why does she fight wherever she goes?

Zhou Yi said: "Tell Steel Refinement Duke that we will go to Steel Refinement City."

……

Sitting on the back of the Sea Hunter, Zhou Yi looked down at Steel Refinement City through the high-altitude lens of the Kestrel.

It is more like a large steel plant area than a city.

The north and west sides are mines, where many miners are doing excavation and loading work. Although it is night, there are diamond-shaped lamp posts erected there, and the workers are tying diamond-shaped stones to their heads, working hard to mine and knock on the mountains, and dust is everywhere.

The central area is the steel plant, the core of which are two billowing blast furnaces. Here, energy packs are used to drive the light prints to heat up and refine iron.

The work here is much more complicated than in the mining area, and the workers are divided into groups to cooperate.

Some people are adding and removing energy packs to the blast furnace, some are transporting raw materials and distributing materials, some are flushing out slag with water and shoveling solidified objects, some are discharging iron slag, and some are repeatedly checking and confirming the safe operation of the blast furnace around the blast furnace...

Although the production environment is harsh and the operation method is relatively simple and crude, the steel workers cooperate with each other tacitly, and they all look like experienced veterans.

The south is the port, where transport ships dock, sending steel or steel products to their destinations, and also sending foreign goods to this steel city.

The latest novel is first published on 69 books bar!

Only the east side is the residential area.

There are a large number of houses piled up with wood, stones, and grass sheds, separated by stones. The local residents are concentrated here, keeping a long distance from the factory.

Zhou Yi noticed that there were red-eyed vultures circling and scouting in the sky, and there were also sea fighters patrolling on the ground.

There is also a kind of light nano-species fixedly lying on some stone platforms. They are a kind of black monster with two legs, half a tail behind their buttocks, and two soft horns on their heads. The eyes, tail tips, and horns are bright yellow.

This thing is called a roar frog. The characteristic is that it has a loud voice.

The reason why roar frogs can be rated as D is because their voice is strong enough. If they are angry, their roar can cause many light nano-species to have disordered light nano-organs, and they will be dizzy for a short time.

In general, Steel Refinement City is more orderly than Zhou Yi expected.

Steel Refinement Duke said when receiving him: "Roar frogs can detect danger, and their role is to be vigilant. If they see blast furnace accidents, mine collapses, or serious fights, they will roar, and the sea fighters will rush over to deal with it."

They are biological alarms and monitoring heads.

Zhou Yi praised: "Being able to develop and utilize the existing light nano-species, the safety system construction of Steel Refinement City is worth learning from our company."

"You flatter me."

Steel Refinement Duke said: "But it was also because of the roar frog that we discovered that Feng Ying injured someone in the street. She beat an ordinary worker in the residential area, and beat him until he vomited blood, which affected the operation of the factory, so I arrested her."

"As a result, she said that she was going to Emerald City to pick someone up. I first found out the bottom line before contacting the Kestrel to ask for your opinion."

Zhou Yi said: "Go and see."

The prison of Steel Refinement City is next to the mining area.

This is a cave transformed from an abandoned mining area. A roar frog is squatting outside, and two seahorse archers are guarding the door.

Steel Refinement Duke was too large to enter, so only Zhou Yi and the Kestrel could enter.

Under the guidance of a seahorse archer, he came to a cave entrance in the back.

Inside the cave was a person looking up.

The kestrel's light illuminated the bottom.

It was a young woman wearing simple clothes like a burlap bag, with bandages wrapped around both hands.

She had calm eyes and a face that was not aggressive. The woman's hair was tied behind her head, and she had some stains on her body, but the gaze she looked at had no timidity or dodge.

She's pretty good-looking.

"Who are you?" Feng Ying's voice was soft and thin.

"My name is Zhou Yi."

Zhou Yi said: "I heard you hurt someone. Can you tell me what happened?"

The other party was stunned.

"You are the chairman of the Wasteland Development Company... May I ask, is it confirmed that Ding Ye is dead?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yi nodded: "It's a pity."

"Is that sword okay?"

"It's okay. The sword is intact, no one has touched it, waiting for you to recover it."

"That's good."

Feng Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "Just revive him."

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had misheard: "You said, Ding Ye can be revived?"

"Yes."

"But, after his death, he voluntarily donated his body, which has been used for medical experiments and dissection..."

Feng Ying said: "It's not a big problem."

Zhou Yi's mind was a little confused.

The body has already been used for experiments, and it can still be resurrected?
