Wasteland Development Diary

Previously, Da Vinci had to juggle multiple roles, including diagnosis, examination, surgery, and medication guidance.

Now, there's an additional pharmacist clinic.

Feng Ying will conduct consultations with patients with mild symptoms, confirm their condition, and then treat them with medication. Patients with severe conditions will be referred to Da Vinci.

The mechanical doctor will also be able to focus more on treating critically ill patients and performing various surgeries.

Two days later.

Da Vinci sent a message.

"Li Mo's second stressor removal surgery was successful."

"The next removal is expected to be in a month and a half."

Red Falcon delivered the sealed plastic box containing the stressor.

Zhou Yi looked at the small box in his hand.

With this, he could enter the Celestial Realm again.

After returning last time, no matter how he used the [Radio], he couldn't get any information from the first stressor, as if it was completely broken.

The Streamer, Xiao Fu, said, "It's a consumable one-way channel."

"Just obtaining one-way information itself has no impact. But if you use it to connect to another information source, it will become invalid after the one-way trip. This is a common encryption method."

In other words.

If all the stressors on Li Mo's body are removed, he can still use it 4 more times.

The opportunity is precious, so Zhou Yi decided to further enhance the strength of the [Radio] first.

At this time, the measuring ability of the Spotlight came into play. It entered the old Chongqing area and found a total of 70,000 smartphones before and after the Sea Hunt, which were sent back in batches and piled up in the warehouse.

Now is the time.

Zhou Yi walked into the warehouse, his hand touching each phone, and the combat species in his body quickly absorbed and decomposed them.

Soon, the iron-sheet house originally filled with digital products was left with only a thick layer of dust.

The [Radio] was also pushed to Channel 5 as a result.

Unless the mobile phone industry reappears in the world, the next level of 4.3 billion mobile phones is impossible to reach.

Zhou Yi looked at the new stressor in his hand.

Radio, start.

His whole person suddenly恍惚了一下, and a figure appeared before his eyes.

This person was sitting on a large rock on the mountain, his head, left shoulder, and the upper half of his chest were gone, leaving only a circle of charred wounds.

The entire mountain seemed to be burning and twisting, looking very unreal, and further away was an endless sea of clouds.

He said in a voice that seemed to vibrate the air, "Unidentified light core detected."

"Capture failed."

"Severe body damage."

"Request to return."

Zhou Yi immediately realized that Channel 5 had brought about a qualitative change in ability, which was to transform the signal into a more direct real-time scene.

Before, he could only hear the sound.

Now, he was directly immersed in the scene, greatly increasing the sense of immersion and the amount of information.

Zhou Yi summoned Machine No. 2.

"Do you know about light cores?"

Xiao Fu said, "Of course. The next step after the Embryo stage is to transform into a light core. This stage is completely different from before."

"Light cores are no longer confined to one world and can truly pass through space bubbles—or what is called the Dark Domain here. This point alone is a qualitative change. Light cores can cross many worlds, collect unique elements from different worlds, and further modify and strengthen themselves."

Zhou Yi thought, "So, Streamers are also light cores?"

"Of course."

Xiao Fu said triumphantly, "Streamers are genuine higher life forms."

"Then why can't you beat Celestials?"

"..."

The Streamer explained, "Streamers have never been good at combat. We specialize in collecting fire seed life and preserving civilization heritage. If we are attacked or ambushed, it's normal to not be able to win."

"We use the Huanliu Device as the core. If we want to deal with combat, we need to design and manufacture combat devices, but that takes a lot of time and wastes resources. Under normal circumstances, Streamers don't do those things, and it's enough to create the Light Wheel Well and the Huanguang Instrument as soon as possible... We are not a combat race, we don't do things like conquest, we are a technical salvation faction."

It can only be said that there are also differences between light cores.

Zhou Yi suddenly saw.

The headless Celestial suddenly had electric light surrounding his body. His body softened, and he fell from the stone into the clouds below.

All the light and shadows disappeared with it.

Zhou Yi guessed that this one should have returned.

He contacted Bai Li Gong again to ask if he knew about this situation.

"Mist Mountain Cloud Sea, it should be the Outer Sea."

"I haven't heard of light cores, I only know about Skywalkers."

Due to the limitations of their level, ordinary territorial sea lords who have not been to the Outer Sea have only a superficial understanding of this information.

Zhou Yi focused his attention on the stressor again.

After waiting patiently for three minutes.

The familiar countdown sounded in his mind.

"223, 222..."

But this time, a holographic image appeared.

Zhou Yi was surrounded by various-shaped gems, including circles, triangles, polygons, arcs, waves, rings... These blue and white gems varied in size, slowly rotating, touching and pushing each other.

The tiny collision sounds were overlapped in large quantities and became clear and bright.

The countdown reminder came from these gems colliding with each other.

No wonder the sound sounded so crisp.

Zhou Yi was no stranger to these gems either.

The main body of the Celestial—let's assume so for now—is composed of these gem units one by one.

After observing for a while, he also discovered a characteristic.

These gems are layered on top of each other, and the overall operation formed by pushing each other is like some kind of mechanical gear structure.

He felt like he was inside a gem gear clock.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel curious.

How exactly do these gems move, and what do they represent?

He tried to reach out to the gems, but he couldn't make real contact with them, only observe.

"3, 2, 1."

"Return initiated."

Zhou Yi's eyes blurred, and he merged into the flowing sea of gems again.

Coming to this strange world again, he first raised and enlarged the perspective, coming to the dark space outside the gem sphere.

Outside, there were still large and small gem worlds floating.

They were as silent as ever in the darkness.

No interaction.

No signs of being noticed or exposed.

Zhou Yi was slightly relieved.

He returned his perspective to his own gem body. This time, he clearly felt more flexible and agile, which must be related to the improvement of the [Radio]'s ability.

Zhou Yi tried to spread the gems out, turning them into a plane or a disc.

This deformation could not be continued further to a certain extent, and the structural form of the body could not be transformed.

No matter how it changed, it would eventually gradually return to a spherical shape.

Outward was impossible.

Let's look inside again.

Zhou Yi separated the sea of gems, and his line of sight entered the depths of the body. Inside the gems were still gems, and the entire huge body was purely composed of gems as a foundation.

Then he discovered that focusing attention on a gem could gradually change its shape, extending transparent gem fibers outward. By changing these fibers, the shape of the gem could be transformed. However, after the transformed gems entered the ocean, they collided with each other and gradually returned to a circular, triangular, or square shape.

Zhou Yi continued to search in the depths of the ocean, and soon found something unusual.

That was a hollow space composed of many white gems.

Zhou Yi's overhead perspective could clearly see that it was a closed room, with furniture such as tables, chairs, and beds, but everything was made of gems.

He suddenly came back to his senses.

This was the space where Li Mo used to be, the place where the Celestial body was built and cultivated.

Li Mo being sent here meant that there was some kind of channel between the wasteland world and here that could be traversed.

Zhou Yi checked again and found that there were a total of four such hollow spaces. These spherical houses made of white gems slowly drifted with the waves in the gem ocean, like some kind of organ of this body.

What surprised him the most was that there was still a living thing in one of the gem rooms.

This life was a kobold, with the head of a Chinese pastoral dog, short yellow fur, claws and teeth, and its eyes didn't look very smart.

The kobold was gnawing on a blue gem, running around in the house for a while, and jumping around for a while, seeming not to feel lonely or bored at all, finding fun for itself.

It looked like a spare body left by the original owner.

Zhou Yi poked its head with a gem fiber.

The kobold froze for a moment, then howled in pain and scurried around the house, holding its head.
