Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi surveyed the newly completed high-rise.

It looked ordinary, lacking both a distinctive appearance and unusual behavior.

Its quiet and stable demeanor made it seem somewhat out of place among its siblings.

Emerald City said, "Building 8 is most like me. It's silent and introverted, with a gentle personality and no aggression. Its body has the highest strength among all Emerald Cities because it incorporates a large amount of light soot sand and more metal."

"However, perhaps because of this, it's slow to move and doesn't like to travel around. It becomes very tired and resistant after walking a few steps."

"Another drawback is its fear of heights. It easily loses balance and becomes unstable in the air. It shakes constantly when flying even slightly high, showing great sensitivity and fear of heights."

"For it, quietly staying on the ground is perhaps the best choice."

So, it’s strong but afraid of heights and can't run well?

Zhou Yi rubbed his face with both hands.

Number 5, born during wartime, is a warrior; Number 6 is a rebellious friend of the samurai crab; Number 7 is a pilot; Number 8 has the best innate conditions but exudes the aura of a peacetime couch potato…

"Commissioner, although Number 8 cannot fight or explore, it also has its own areas of expertise," Emerald City said.

Every window of Building 8 emitted a strong light, projecting onto the slightly strange black ground.

What should have been a grid of light spots split into tiny points, which began to arrange themselves in an orderly manner, forming a lifelike image of a samurai crab.

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Building 6 could display light spots on its main body, but neither the precision nor the flexibility could compare to what he was seeing.

It was like an electronic projection screen.

This made Zhou Yi think of the enhancement controllers.

The sand pixel blocks on the glass displays of these light-printed wasteland-era computers were similar to the scene before him.

Zhou Yi asked, "Is it turning itself into an enhancement controller?"

"Commissioner, the technical details should be explained to you by Shi Gandang. My understanding in these areas is still shallow."

A moment later, the robot vacuum cleaner took over from Emerald City, saying, "Chairman, this matter needs to be explained from the beginning. The cultivation experience of Building 7 gave me and Building 1 an idea."

"The preferences and personalities of Emerald Cities born in different periods are influenced by the general environment, which is difficult to change. However, we can test and confirm their talent directions."

"For example, Building 7 has a strong adventurous spirit and a special fondness for flying, with the longest flight time. Therefore, it has the strongest flying skills."

"Building 1 and I used light printing to conduct a small test to see which light prints it was more sensitive to…"

They came up with something similar to architectural life drawing lots, but instead, they built light prints in Building 8, seeing which ones it was more interested in and would actively trigger and use.

After layers of screening, Shi Gandang came to a conclusion.

"Building 8 is relatively resistant to light prints with destructive power and clearly dislikes those related to violent external movements."

"However, it showed interest in 'projection'."

Shi Gandang said, "Building 8 wants to extend outwards easily and effortlessly without running around. Based on this, we cultivated and directed it."

"It quickly improved its proficiency in using this light print and is very good at using light projection, even projecting into the air and the Dead Sea, with better effects at night."

"I think Building 8 can serve as a lighthouse at night, projecting the company's samurai crab logo into the Dead Sea. This is both aesthetically pleasing and can guide approaching ships."

Zhou Yi: "…"

This ability is being used for this?

He was somewhat puzzled, "Isn't this a great opportunity to build an internal enhancement controller? It already has projection capabilities and can convert information projection into recognizable images, which is no different from the screen of a controller."

"Chairman, that is very difficult technically," Shi Gandang explained.

"The enhancement controller includes multiple light prints such as 'writing,' 'storage,' 'reading,' 'output,' 'projection,' 'host,' and 'program system.'"

"Projection only projects images in one direction, outputting to the outside, but it does not have the ability to obtain external information."

"Although the enhancement controller may not look big, its technical requirements are not low. And integrating so many light prints into the Emerald City's body presents objective difficulties."

"Tell me about it."

"Take the most core host as an example. The 'host' light print is an equal-ratio replica of the existing electromechanical life host prototype, composed of 8 parts, and is the most complex part of the controller. The reason why the controller is now heavy and large is that the size cannot be changed. Whether the existing ratio is increased or decreased will cause the light print structure to malfunction."

The light print expert said in a regretful tone, "We cannot determine the specific reason, but we can only imitate and use it."

"This alone makes it impossible to transplant the controller into the Emerald City's body."

Zhou Yi understood.

This was indeed a technical obstacle.

However,

in his opinion, this was not a problem.

"Emerald City doesn't need a host. It is a life itself, and its own consciousness and thinking are the host, right?"

"That can't be the same," Shi Gandang insisted.

"The standard for the enhancement controller is like this. If one standard is wrong, the other parts cannot be completed at all."

Zhou Yi said, "My point is to carry out a certain degree of architectural electromechanicalization and intelligence based on the actual situation of Emerald City."

"For example, now there is a projection light print available. This shows that Emerald City can output visual information to the outside."

"I see that the black floor of the projection is made of light soot sand. It looks like this is a dedicated projection screen, right?"

He talked about his ideas, "Then we can completely create projection walls as display devices for Emerald City residents to see. Like danger warnings or some announcements, we can project the information onto the projection walls, right?"

"Architectural electromechanicalization… intelligence…"

"What you said is a bit strange… but it doesn't seem wrong."

Shi Gandang suddenly came back to his senses, "I was thinking in a dead end! I have been forcibly applying the standard of the enhancement controller to Emerald City, so I cannot apply and match it."

"Emerald City itself is a living host. As long as the required light prints are integrated into it, human-computer interaction can be carried out in a completely new way!"

It became more and more excited, "If we follow this idea, the host part is not a problem at all. There are a large number of conscious entities in the architectural life body, and each of them can be used for calculation and thinking, and can be synchronized…"

"External image information can also be transmitted. For example, converting existing languages into images and constructing a new alien language so that Emerald City can read and understand the information given externally after the outside world uses the enhancement controller to project it."

"As long as such a set of image language can be written, architectural life can communicate with anyone in the outside world through projection!"

"It is theoretically possible!"

"The biggest technical problem is writing such a special language, which can be converted through existing human text or program language. In this regard, we can learn from the writing of prehistoric humans. That is called hieroglyphics, yes… it is both text and a picture, easy to understand and spread."

"Speaking of which, prehistoric humans had already solved the problem of architectural life communication. This is a universal language!"

"Amazing, amazing! We are only now understanding their early footprints. Prehistoric humans exceeded us too much. I really want to see what they looked like when they walked with the gods at their peak…"

The robot vacuum cleaner became more and more excited and directly started brainstorming mode.

Zhou Yi was shocked, "Aren't you in the direction of power structure and engineering?"

"In fact, many directions have intersections and commonalities."

Shi Gandang said happily, "Our past research on architectural life cannot be separated from the controller as a terminal information tool."

"Chairman, you gave me a major reminder! If this set of alien characters can be written, the history of non-dialogue of aliens will be completely rewritten."

"I will devote all my time and energy to this aspect to make a breakthrough as soon as possible!"

It said, "Number 8 has a high talent in this regard, and it is also very interested in projection. I request that it assist me in testing."

Zhou Yi asked, "Will this affect the move-in?"

"No impact."

Then it's okay.

Because in addition to Building 2, although Buildings 3 and 4 have been rebuilt, with the increase in the company's population, everyone's requirements for living are still increasing.

Even if mushroom houses are sufficient, people are still looking forward to moving into the more luxurious Emerald City.

This is a higher pursuit in life.

Zhou Yi sincerely said, "I wish you success as soon as possible, and I hope the historic day will come soon."

"Chairman, I will do my best!"

Shi Gandang began to get busy with Emerald City.

...

Two days later.

Sigma of Recursive City sent a message, "Mr. Zhou, due to the proliferation of the Sunday virus, Recursive City will be temporarily closed for a week for internal investigation and cleanup."

"During this period, we will cut off signals with the outside world. Please understand."

"Understood."

Zhou Yi was curious, "Is the Sunday virus serious?"

"It is very serious. 138 electromechanical cities have now been infected, but to varying degrees. Because infected people will be forced to work 24 hours every 144 hours, causing a great efficiency crisis in electromechanical cities. Various places are arresting and isolating infected people… We have now learned that this is the work of a terrorist organization called the Electromechanical Knights."

"The number of spreaders is still increasing, and many electromechanical lives outside are also virus carriers. The Knights are also constantly updating the Sunday virus."

"Electromechanical cities are all wanted and arrested. Please notify us if you have any information."

"Please be careful with your company too."

"Okay."

Zhou Yi immediately swiped the screen and found that the pages of Recursive City, Coral Mouth, and Mass Production City could not be logged in, and the display was under maintenance.

The impact of the Sunday program was much higher than expected.

"In addition. If your company needs it, Recursive City will provide you with our security program services to investigate and kill viruses while ensuring company privacy."

Sigma was very active.

However, 703 had already eliminated this virus program, which had no effect on electromechanical employees. In addition, the official establishment of a five-day work week with two days off meant that even if the virus entered the company again, it would not affect the operation of various departments.

"Thank you, I will consider it."

Zhou Yi suddenly glanced at his eyelids, "We'll contact you later, I have something to do now."

"Okay, then I won't bother you."

Cut off the contact.

Zhou Yi looked at his watch.

The Black Water Ghost was emitting white light, which seemed to have undergone some special change.

The white light suddenly spread in all directions, covering the entire house.

"I am already the standard clock!"

The Black Water Ghost's voice was very proud.
