Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi observed carefully.

The Kobold's eyes flew away from its body, chasing each other, but it didn't seem to affect him.

It showed no signs of physical discomfort, and the eyes did not attack the main body. The Kobold seemed more anxious, like catching a playful child in the yard who doesn't want to come home for dinner.

Its life was not in danger.

Zhou Yi felt a little relieved.

There was a more important action this time.

Kindling.

Zhou Yi activated the kindling device in his memory core.

It was as if a pump connected him to the Sea of Gems.

Zhou Yi suddenly found that the gem world became clear at once.

The movement of gems constituted the movement of this life form.

White gems have the strongest plasticity. They can be transformed into sapphires and black gems, and can also be used as tools to transform other gems or life forms.

Sapphires store energy, and they are constantly absorbing energy from the outside world.

Black gems are consciousness carriers, responsible for information recording, storage, and output, and are closely related to consciousness keys. It transmits information quickly internally, but if it is to transmit information externally across the body, the consumption is very huge - this is also the key to why gem lives rarely contact each other, the cost is high.

The three can transform into each other.

White gems gradually turn into sapphires after absorbing energy.

After the sapphire is fully loaded with energy, it can be transformed into a black gem through movement and contact with a large number of gems.

The black gem, as a carrier of consciousness, is used to record and output information. It has usage limits and will be reduced to a white gem form during consumption.

Now Zhou Yi knew that the celestial body he possessed was already in a state of decay and collapse.

A large number of white gems were loosening and breaking away from this body.

The number of sapphires continued to decrease, and slow energy absorption led to insufficient income.

Black gems were also being used one by one.

"It's already in a state of death."

Xiao Fu commented: "The subsequent decline will be faster and faster. Unless you can get more sapphires and maintain the metabolism of this body by obtaining external energy."

It was pitch black outside, with only very faint energy reactions.

There was a blue luminous band in the distant direction.

Energy spreads outward from the luminous band, and is rapidly consumed during the flow. The farther the distance, the less energy.

Theoretically, as long as you get close to the blue light, you can absorb sufficient energy.

Xiao Fu suggested: "Burn those sapphires and head towards the blue energy band, but there is also a great risk. This machine may fall apart on the way, because the distance may be very far."

"Staying in place can last longer, but it may accelerate the collapse at any time."

While considering the choice, Zhou Yi suddenly noticed.

There were other gem lives around, including some small ones like his.

In other words, those who come to this energy-poor area are likely to be dead celestials.

Why not take advantage of the remaining energy and reuse these corpses? Theoretically, there are still some sapphires left in the corpses, otherwise they should have broken apart.

Anyway, their consciousness has collapsed.

The Streamtracer was stunned: "This is a completely new idea."

Zhou Yi's first target was an individual not far away that was smaller than himself.

The other party was white all over, with dim light, and was doing some kind of rotation.

Zhou Yi activated a large number of sapphires and controlled the body to move towards the other party.

The distance between the two seemed not far, but he also burned out 400 sapphires to push it to complete close contact.

He controlled his body, captured the smaller gem life corpse, and gradually docked and merged with it.

The internal movements of the two sides were completely different, and a large number of gems collided and stirred, causing many white gems to peel off and break.

However, slowly, the main bodies of both sides completed the fusion.

Zhou Yi slowly sorted it out.

He obtained 7,000 sapphires from this broken corpse. This shows that this plan is completely feasible, and the machine's energy has been greatly replenished.

The light of the gem life controlled by Zhou Yi was slightly brighter, but this fusion also doubled the size of the machine.

Zhou Yi also considered whether to directly remove some white gems to reduce the burden?

By opening source and reducing expenditure, slimming down may reduce energy consumption.

Xiao Fu advised: "The basic units that make up life also need to consume a lot of energy to grow. If there is no urgency at the moment, I suggest keeping them as much as possible."

Zhou Yi finally chose to listen to the advice.

After the volume increased, although the white gems were also slowly peeling off, the number did not increase too much, and overall it was considered a successful life extension.

The strategy was achieved.

As for the other gem life bodies around, they were all about the same size as Zhou Yi or even bigger.

He decided to play it safe.

First, check the Kobold's situation.

……

In the white gem secret room, the Kobold had given up chasing, it sat against the wall with its head lowered.

Zhou Yi could sense that it was resting and even snoring.

Two red eyeballs were still hovering above its head.

"It's okay. It's just overdevelopment that leads to individual activity."

The Streamtracer said: "Under normal circumstances, life growth is relatively balanced, and limbs and internal organs will develop and become stronger at the same speed, maintaining stable connections and mutual effects."

"The visual organs of this low-level life are overdeveloped and have a certain independent motor ability. Therefore, it is difficult to be constrained and connected by other strengthened organs whose development is delayed, forming an imbalance."

"However, they cannot be separated from the main body for a long time, and will still return to the eye sockets."

Zhou Yi inserted a black gem into the Kobold's head.

The other party's body suddenly stiffened.

"God! You are here!"

The Kobold immediately showed an excited look, and immediately began to complain: "My eyes flew out, they are completely out of control, I didn't expect this to happen..."

All the sapphires Zhou Yi gave to the Kobold were absorbed by its eyes. Because the Kobold liked to release light from its eyes, he strengthened them all.

The intensity did increase greatly.

These Kobold eyes also began to have their own ideas... and they didn't listen to orders very much.

At first, the eyes spontaneously emitted rays of light for no reason, and then they began to rotate non-stop, making the Kobold dizzy. Finally, they flew directly out of their sockets and began to move freely.

The Kobold had no way to deal with them. Because they were too fast to catch, they would only fly back when they were tired of playing.

It was very annoyed by this.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have coveted the power of the eyes... I should have developed in a balanced way, God, I know I was wrong!"

The Kobold prostrated on the ground.

However, solving this matter is not difficult.

Zhou Yi directly captured the two eyes with white gem fibers and handed them to the Kobold.

"Thank you! Omnipotent God!"

The Kobold hurriedly stuffed his eyes back into their sockets and continued to prostrate himself.

Then Zhou Yi transferred some sapphires in, and this time he used white gem fibers as input tubes, inserted them into the Kobold's legs to strengthen the body, and began to manually strengthen it.

As the strengthening continued.

A blue connection line was formed between the eyes and the two legs, which seemed to represent a balance between the three major strengthened bodies.

The Kobold also felt this.

"They don't jump around anymore, they're finally back to normal! Great, great!"

"God, God!!"

It lay on the ground, its ears perked up with excitement.

Zhou Yi told it: "Moderate development is good for health, excessive development will cause the strengthened body to backfire, take care of yourself."

"Yes! I will never dare to do it again!"

The Kobold looked frightened.

Zhou Yi realized at this time that there was nothing wrong with the mutant having multiple strengthened bodies, but instead formed a more stable balance.

This is contrary to the wasteland era medical common sense described by Da Vinci.

The Streamtracer sneered: "Can there only be one strengthened body? That's because their technology and cognition are not enough."

"Having multiple strengthened bodies means there are multiple directions to choose from."

"Higher life forms have many paths to choose from from birth. But low-level life forms are physiologically fragile, and it is already difficult to support an evolutionary direction."

"Unless it is like the Celestials, who use the continuous interference and transformation of powerful external forces to break through their own limitations."

"It's like an insect living in a jungle. The jungle may become a lake, or it may become a desert. If it has the swimming and flying abilities to adapt to lakes and deserts, it can survive and evolve further. If it can only survive in the jungle, it will become extinct."

Zhou Yi had experience with this.

When he was a child, his parents signed him up for many interest classes, playing table tennis, painting, calligraphy, football, basketball... Most of them proved that Zhou Yi had no talent, and only learned a little bit of fur.

However, when facing Qin Xie, the skill of table tennis came in handy, which was somewhat of a social way.

When the company decided on the logo, Zhou Yi himself drew the samurai crab logo, which is now widely imitated by employees.

As the old saying goes, it's good to have more skills, that's the truth.

The cognition of Da Vinci and them cannot be said to be wrong, but it is not complete enough.

……

Next, use the black gem to project the Tengu into the wasteland.

Zhou Yi found that he could choose the projection location.

The entire map appeared in his mind, corresponding to the wasteland world.

He searched for a while before finding the Sandport area.

That was a very small area, but it could not be projected.

The closest projection location was the Shuanghe area ruled by the Overwhelming Guild.

Only the Celestial Kingdom or the Mechanical City can be projected.

Zhou Yi finally decided to project in Coral Mouth.

After locking the projection location.

The Kobold was wrapped and solidified by the surrounding white gems, turning into a gem sculpture.

A countdown suddenly sounded in his mind.

"223, 222..."

"Projection activated."

Zhou Yi's eyes blurred and he came to a secret room.
