#218 - Land reclamation
With two A-level employees at his disposal, Zhou Yi's mood immediately lightened.
In the Inner Sea, Skywalkers represented the pinnacle of combat power.
In the upcoming war, they also possessed strategic-level deterrent power.
Zhou Yi spent some time introducing Wu Yi to the company's basic situation and development history.
The Bone Man was very interested in this.
"It's truly nostalgic. I used to be a member of a group as well. Collective living is much more comfortable; being imprisoned alone is too lonely."
It had spent a long time in prison and didn't know much about the outside world.
Wu Yi's ability was 'Sand Control'.
It could control and gather sand to create various shapes, and sand was its tool for perceiving the world.
"My body is already a sand structure, only retaining my past appearance."
As it spoke, Wu Yi's entire body gradually transformed into a sandman, but quickly returned to normal.
"The advantage of this ability is its versatility and ability to disperse various impacts and pressures, allowing for many variations. The disadvantage is its lack of strength and innate explosive power. This characteristic is also easily exploited."
"Because sand is a common substance, understanding its characteristics can reveal the flaws in this ability."
The Bone Man said helplessly, "Easily accessible elements are also easily discerned and recognized by others."
Zhou Yi's heart stirred when he heard this, "You can shape sand into various forms?"
"That's simple, but it's useless against high-strength opponents. Walls, cones, or traps are all ineffective."
"Do you have any requirements for the sand?"
Zhou Yi repeatedly confirmed, "Does it have to be water-free sand? What's the difference between it and soil? What about silt? Can you shape that too?"
"Chairman, these substances you mentioned are all interconnected. Sand is a part of soil, and you can manipulate soil through the sand within it, but it takes more effort than just using sand."
The Bone Man was puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"
"You're saying that as long as something contains sand, you can control and move it?"
"That's right."
"Then… the underwater Divine Era ruins, those buildings also contain a lot of sand, and the silt supporting them has sand. Can you use sand to move them up?"
The Bone Man thought for a moment, "I can do it. But what's the point?"
"Wu Yi."
Zhou Yi looked at the Bone Man with fervent eyes, "Your ability isn't for combat; you can dig up underwater buildings and silt from the Dead Sea to expand the existing land area!"
Wu Yi was stunned, "Are you saying that my ability's lack of destructive power is because it's meant for construction?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"
The Bone Man seemed to awaken from a dream, "That's right… sand is one of the most abundant substances in the world, with a very wide range of applications. That's right."
No sooner said than done.
Zhou Yi took the Bone Man into the Dead Sea, which surprised the latter.
"Chairman, you can enter the Dead Sea… are you not human?"
"Of course I'm human. It's just that my ability is special. Don't worry about such trivial matters; land reclamation is important now."
Zhou Yi directed it to focus on the key issue.
Wu Yi started with the simplest silt.
The Bone Man raised its hand, and the seabed silt rose as if boiling, then surged onto the shore like a wave. Soon, a small mud mountain piled up on the shore, astonishing the pedestrians on the dam.
"How's the consumption?" Zhou Yi asked.
"It's okay, just changing their flow direction and gathering them."
Wu Yi said, "The structure of these mud and sand is loose, so just attracting the surface layer brings in a huge amount."
Next were the more difficult buildings.
Zhou Yi and it arrived at the nearest nameless residential area.
Facing the concrete high-rise buildings, the Bone Man's expression became serious, "I haven't tried moving these kinds of ruins before. Chairman, please step back a bit; I don't know if it will succeed."
Zhou Yi took two steps back.
Under the 【Alert】 perspective, he saw black dots appearing in the Bone Man's purple body, these black dots connected into flowing lines.
Then, these black lines extended outwards like a tree, covering and wrapping around the seven-story old building ten meters away.
In this black web, the surface of the concrete building gradually became covered with a layer of mud and sand, and then the entire building was lifted up, accompanied by slight tremors, and slowly slid forward along the seabed silt layer.
Transportation was feasible.
The Bone Man exclaimed, "This isn't as difficult as I thought. It must be because the sand structure itself is abundant. By connecting these sands through the Dead Sea's dead light energy, and using the flow characteristics of the sand to create a directional path."
It raised its hand, and another old building was lifted and slid alongside the previous one.
Then came the third.
These buildings, up to 20 meters high, were like Lego toys under the Bone Man's ability, easily moved, stacked, and combined.
The Bone Man asked, "Is it really useful to move these ruins onto the land?"
"Yes, it is."
Zhou Yi told it, "These are natural, usable buildings, well protected by the light membrane, and can be lived in directly. Even the severely damaged parts can be used as a framework to support the expanded land, which is of great significance to Emerald City."
"I understand."
Wu Yi said, "Just move everything back here, right?"
"Yes."
Then, the Bone Man controlled the three intact old buildings, making them move forward in the thick silt layer like controlled giant puppets.
At dawn the next day, the entire transportation was completed.
Under the morning light, the three old residential buildings that had resurfaced stood on the transformed land, as if awakened from a long dream, giving Zhou Yi a strange sense of relief.
He told the Bone Man, "Just like that, move the ruin buildings closer to here from the seabed in batches."
"No problem."
Wu Yi said, "It's not difficult, it just takes a little time. Because to maintain their stability, the moving, transporting, and sliding can't be too fast, otherwise the internal structure may crack and collapse."
"Take your time, there's no rush."
Over the next three days, the Bone Man wrapped another 25-story beige elevator building in silt and moved it back.
This building looked very new, and the external light membrane was still intact.
It was fixed in the Dead Sea, with only the top five floors exposed above the surface.
This was also the result of Zhou Yi and Wu Yi's discussion.
The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥at⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!
This building was to be used as a pier.
Then, Wu Yi shaped and solidified the mud and sand, creating a 100-meter-long sea passage from the dam to the elevator building.
The seemingly thin layer of mud slab was stabilized by the Dead Sea covering a layer of light film at the bottom, forming a peculiar bridge.
Zhou Yi tested it on the spot.
The strength of the sea mud slab road was higher than that of the dam.
It could only be said that 'Sand Control' deserved to be the ability of an A-level life form, perfect for paving bridges and building roads.
With the elevator building as a support island and the mud slab road created by Wu Yi as a road, the cost and time of land reclamation were greatly reduced.
Even if the road surface malfunctioned, people nearby could take refuge in the support island's houses and wait for rescue and repairs.
Wu Yi's addition allowed the land area of Sand Port to be further increased.
Zhou Yi immediately gave a formal appointment: "Wu Yi, the company now officially establishes the Land Department, and you will be the minister, specializing in land reclamation. If you need manpower assistance, just ask."
"Yes, Chairman."
The Bone Man looked at the first piece of sea land it had created, and said with some melancholy, "This reminds me of the island I used to live on."
"If I had such ability back then, perhaps everyone could have moved to a safer and more dispersed place. It would have been easier to survive when ice blocks fell."
"It's not too late now."
Zhou Yi said, "Let's transform this place together so that your friends can live here when they return in the future."
"Yes, Chairman."
Wu Yi devoted himself wholeheartedly to land reclamation.
The Bone Man didn't understand civil engineering, so Zhou Yi asked Red Falcon to assist it more, providing corresponding information support through the Recursive City database to facilitate its better expansion of the land.
Zhou Yi turned his attention back to his wrist.
Black Water Ghost.
Since recruiting this timekeeper, it had been quiet.
Since he had promised Wu Yi to restart that glass man later, he would need the help of the timekeeper.
"Black Water Ghost, how is the competition for standard time going? Is there anything I can help you with?"
A mechanical voice came from the dial.
"It's still in progress. The competition is fierce, and the number of timekeepers nearby is still increasing. In the latest season of competition, my position has even declined."
Black Water Ghost's voice was serious.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but have a bold idea: "Can you find them?"
"What?"
"I have an idea. If I kill the other timekeepers, wouldn't you be able to become the standard time?"
The simplest way was to eliminate the other candidates.
"You can't do that!"
Black Water Ghost said angrily, "Everyone is competing for who is the better standard, to ensure that the mechanism of time is not interfered with by the outside world! Not to kill each other and exclude dissidents! If you do that again, I'll be angry!"
"Sorry…"
Zhou Yi said helplessly, "Then what should I do?"
"…"
Black Water Ghost suddenly said, "If you want to help me, you can give me more Light Seeds. Light Seeds can improve my operating efficiency and allow me to pursue higher precision, but it consumes more."
"Light Seeds? No problem."
Zhou Yi directly took out the Light Na Box and pressed it against the watch to pour in Light Seeds.
He poured in 1000 Light Seeds in one breath.
"Enough, enough… too much! I don't want it, I don't want it! It's not always better to have more!"
Then, a layer of white light surrounded the surface of Black Water Ghost, and it also spat out 4 Light Seeds.
"Now I'm full of power, ready to continue the attack! I will never lose this season!"
"Wait for my news!"
