Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi made his way to the artificial land area.

Previously, Wu Yi had constructed a 100-meter mud road over the sea along the coast, ending at the relocated elevator building.

Now, using the roof of the elevator building as the center, a square plot of land had been extended in all directions.

The plot had been filled with soil and planted with some greenery, which was very conspicuous in the snowy weather.

On this square airborne land, Bone Man Wu Yi and Agriculture Minister Zheng Tao were discussing something.

Zhou Yi walked up the stairs.

Only then did he notice that the Red Falcon was also there, circling and inspecting the underside of this suspended land.

Zhou Yi found Bone Man Wu Yi: "What's going on here?"

The Land Minister grinned: "Chairman, I've moved the soil layer up here."

"When I was expanding the mudflat below, I saw the structure of the Wuhu overpass and thought, could I build this place like a bridge?"

"Then I found Nemo. He specializes in tunnels and pipelines and knows the most about soil structures."

The Bone Man pointed to his shoulder.

The Mechanical Rat was also there.

"Nemo said that as long as there was enough support, the road surface wouldn't collapse. Later, I discussed it with him, and we created support columns and pier structures under the road surface. This way, even heavy vehicles wouldn't cause instability."

"We tested it, and the load-bearing capacity is not much different from Emerald Avenue."

"Then a new problem arose: roads ultimately connect different areas, but this one only leads to the Dead Sea, which is useless. The floating islands where I used to live gave me the inspiration—we repair the floating islands, and they are still very light, but they can not only bear weight but also grow various trees."

The Bone Man pointed around with his fingers: "I found Sun Zhonglai, and he came up with an idea."

"He said that Mushroom Forest wanted to use Emerald City as a mobile home in the past, growing mushrooms inside to save soil, because each layer could be covered with soil for planting. So I thought, that's it; the purpose of artificial land is this!"

Wu Yi opened his arms and moved his fingers: "Using the support island as the core, expand the suspended soil layer."

"Land is limited, but if we can add new layers in the high sky, we can solve the problem of insufficient land area. We conducted a series of experiments and finally determined that there were no problems."

"I first made a lot of basic mud slabs, about 2 meters long and wide, and 10 centimeters thick, and then let them soak in the Dead Sea to be covered with natural light film. This process is very fast."

"Then I moved them out one by one and spliced them on the roof, connecting them into one with sand control. Then I repaired and connected the light film to create a small suspended layer."

He stepped on the suspended layer under his feet: "Chairman, its structure is very stable. The light film gives a very strong dead light support protection and is connected to the Dead Sea, which can be continuously expanded."

"The Red Falcon helped me test it and finally calculated the safe specifications for a suspended layer, which is about 300 meters long and wide, and the height is controlled below 100 meters. Converted, such a suspended layer is 10 acres."

"Spreading suitable soil on the mud slab layer allows for planting. We use the silt from the bottom of the Dead Sea, which is high-quality soil after drying."

"Currently, the thorn grass and cattails we planted are growing well and faster than on the ground. In the future, we can build suspended layers upwards to grow more crops."

"If we encounter a dry season, we can hire Mechanical Cities to conduct fixed-point artificial rainfall or purchase special watering equipment. The Agricultural Machinery Brothers say they can handle the soil fertility problem."

The Bone Man described the development here in a happy tone.

Zhou Yi was overjoyed to hear this.

This is equivalent to printing land and connecting it in a modular way.

You are born to do this!

Speaking of which, Wu Yi used to do repairs in his floating island hometown, which can be regarded as returning to his old business.

"Chairman, we are mainly discussing a problem now."

The Bone Man said again: "How exactly should we build the suspended layer? We currently have two options."

"The first option is to continue expanding independently like this, building support islands by transporting underwater buildings. Each support island can expand 10 acres of land. This method is the most stable."

"The second option is linkage, which is to connect different suspended layers together, so that it becomes a whole piece of high-altitude shallow land."

"However, because the area is continuously expanding, more support and maintenance will be needed in the later stage, which has certain risks. The advantage is that it is on the same level, which is convenient for farmers or workers to operate up and down."

Zhou Yi made a decision in an instant: "Choose option one, and follow up with connection attempts. This project is just starting, and safety is our priority. Also, the boundary of the suspended layer must have a circle of walls to prevent staff from falling down."

The Bone Man nodded: "Understood. One more thing, Chairman, is the structural connection between the upper and lower mud roads. I plan to create a spiral bridge to enter the suspended layer."

"This way, the company's vehicles can drive to the upper layer to load the harvested crops. The lower layer can also be transformed into a light dam, and the support is absolutely no problem."

"That's a good idea."

Zhou Yi praised.

Agriculture is carried out above, and mining is carried out below. Vehicles can pass from above, transporting both grain and light sand, centralized production, and high efficiency.

Zhou Yi discussed many related details with Bone Man, Zheng Tao, Nemo, and the Red Falcon.

His main concern was still safety and stability.

The suspended layer, shaped like a huge thin mushroom, has a visual sense of fragility.

The Red Falcon provided technical support for this: "I calculated and simulated this construction model through the Recursive City's database, and the area of 300 meters * 300 meters is very safe."

"The strength and toughness of the light film are very high, enough to give stable support to the suspended layer. It's just that the higher the distance from the Dead Sea standard surface, the lower the light film strength will be. Currently, we will control it within 30 meters above the sea surface, which has enough light film support."

"Many mechanical city lighthouses on the sea are about 30 meters high. Practice has proved that this height is very safe."

"Zhou, please believe in the city's many years of practical experience."

Zhou Yi knew. Past common sense was still influencing some of his judgments.

He always felt that gravity would cause the overly wide suspended land to collapse.

But on the Dead Sea in the wasteland world, it is extremely stable.

Most importantly.

This new artificial land method can greatly reduce material costs.

In the conventional sense, land reclamation, like the United City, uses barges to transport soil and stone materials to be directly dumped at sea, and then build revetment facilities.

This project consumes a lot of sand, stone, and soil, and can only expand the continental shelf area, and must be terminated at the continental slope, because further consumption will be difficult to bear.

The latest novel is first published on the 6th 9th Book Bar!!

Therefore, land reclamation itself is not only costly but also has its limits.

However, the suspended layer land invented by Wu Yi is less environmentally restricted, and only a small amount of sand, stone, and soil is needed to assemble and construct a complete plain-style land.

It is fast, cheap, and stable to build.

The wasteland era is most lacking in land.

Wu Yi is also constantly modifying and optimizing the construction method of the entire suspended layer project with the collective efforts of everyone.

Then it started to get busy again.

Zhou Yi also spoke until his mouth was dry, and he was still a little unsatisfied.

He came back to his senses and realized that there was still one person next to him.

The Cloud Mud Man was still floating quietly beside him.

The others did not seem to be able to see its appearance.

Zhou Yi said to it, "You have heard what we said, that's the situation."

"These suspended lands are very fragile. I can use 'Soil Sealing' on them."

The Mud Man suddenly said, "Soil Sealing will accelerate the operation of the land, and the exchange of energy and matter will be faster, and the output of grain will be more than twice as much as before. However, this can only last for one year, and it needs to be re-deployed after expiration."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

It turns out that its ability is a BUFF type, which is perfectly in line with farming.

"However, my Soil Sealing ability will also cause an additional effect."

It said: "The land of Soil Sealing is affected by my power, and the life inside may appear to be somewhat alienated, leading to unpredictable results."

Zhou Yi was surprised: "Will monsters be produced?"

"It may be an aggressive monster, or it may be a pure alien species. This is the random result of the natural combination of various substances and energy."

"How strong is it?"

"If it is a Light Nano species, the initial level is about E to D."

That's okay.

It just so happens that the Samurai Crabs still need actual combat training, isn't this here? The alienated monsters born in the suspended layer farmland will be handed over to them to deal with.

Zhou Yi immediately said: "Please, don't be polite, seal our suspended layer."

The Mud Man said: "This world needs more land, and I need it too."

Zhou Yi understood what it meant.

It is to let himself get more suspended layers.

"I'll call you Land Lord. In my hometown, this is the name of the god of land."

"Yes. The name is not important."

The Mud Man looked in the direction of the Bone Man: "It's a pity it's a little weak, and it's too slow to build a suspended layer."

Zhou Yi immediately understood.

The Land Lord thinks that the A-level Wu Yi is weak, it seems that it is also a Light Core body.
