Wasteland Development Diary

The effect of Tree Lord's joining was immediately apparent.

It began supplying large quantities of wood to other regions of the alliance at lower internal prices.

Wood is a very important raw material; even if not considered as fuel, it is an indispensable part of construction, vehicles, and various equipment. Not to mention household items such as basins, buckets, boxes, and cabinets, which are mainly made of wood.

This drove the prosperity of the carpentry industry and improved the quality of tools in various cities.

The ships that had been modified with ice storage transported ironware, textiles, medicines, and various foods into the Tree Lord's territory, and in turn, transported fruits and fish from there, further expanding the diet of the Development Alliance residents.

Dietary diversity is also a basic guarantee of human health.

Large quantities of exported goods were internally digested in bulk. The increased demand for fish and fruits also allowed Tree Lord to expand its breeding and planting scale without any worries.

Zhou Yi watched all of this carefully.

The company also began to breed grass carp and whitebait, but not for large-scale breeding. Instead, it relied on Zhanjiang Bay No. 1's unique定向定向 cultivation ability to screen these two types of fish to obtain better fry.

Zhou Yi's requirements remained the same.

The core was [fast growth] and [disease resistance].

He finally got to eat fresh grilled fish in this wasteland era.

With scallions and mushrooms, although a little lacking in ginger and garlic, the grilled fish seasoning packet could solve this problem.

In the past, he always disliked grass carp for having too many bones, but now it was a rare delicacy.

After tasting it, the taste was good.

Zhou Yi grilled two fish in a row and had the Red Falcon deliver them to Qian Su, who was at the busiest delivery center, and to Li Mo and Heavenly Dog in the Yalong Bay cave, who had made repeated contributions.

He started eating the third fish himself with rice.

Initially, he purely wanted to eat food he missed, but now Zhou Yi had unknowingly changed. He hoped that everyone could taste the delicious food he thought was good.

Food tastes better when shared.

Zhou Yi thought while eating.

Now he also needs to find rice, and it would be great if rice could be produced locally.

He took out his diary and wrote on it.

--Grow rice and eat rice.

The next goal is it.

Red Falcon returned to report: "Qian Su liked it very much. Li Mo was cried out by the spiciness, and Heavenly Dog choked on a fish bone. Li Mo accompanied it to the hospital for surgery."

"..."

Zhou Yi didn't understand: "Why?"

"Because Qian Su had eaten fish before and knew to eat slowly. Li Mo and Heavenly Dog had never eaten fish before and thought they could chew it directly in large bites like chicken."

No wonder.

This is the manifestation of inexperience. They need to eat more and practice more.

Fortunately, neither of them was seriously injured.

Da Vinci's side responded that the fish bone removal surgery was successful.

Just as Zhou Yi was cleaning up the dishes, Red Falcon suddenly said: "Zhou, good news!"

"The latest news has come from Holy Mountain. Two types of drugs with Sage Mushrooms as the main raw material have passed clinical trials and have been allowed to be used in medical treatment."

"Among them, [Brain Awakening Granules] are low in dosage and are a health care medicine that can be taken for a long time. It has the effect of refreshing the mind, making people calm and soothed."

"Another [C-4 Anesthetic] is a powerful anesthetic used in anesthesia in surgical medical treatment. It can be used after explaining its risks to the patient and with the patient's consent."

"Check your account."

Zhou Yi calculated.

It has been two years since the patent for Sage Mushrooms was applied for and handed over to Holy Mountain for further development.

It is already very fast to develop and launch drugs at this speed.

He opened the company account and found that there were now 940,000 light seeds on the account.

The latest entry shows.

"Phase 023 share: 70,642.15"

Amazed.

It has soared to 70,000!

Zhou Yi initially regularly looked at the background statements, paying special attention to the situation on the Sage Mushroom side.

But after the initial small peak, only two or three thousand light seeds were credited each month, with no fluctuations at all.

Da Vinci said that because various parties would not continue to increase investment until the drug development was completed, they needed to ensure that the drug was available and obtain relevant usage qualifications before they would cultivate, produce, and process it on a large scale.

Red Falcon said: "Under normal circumstances, it takes a ten-year clinical trial for a new drug to be launched. However, this time, because Holy Mountain is leading the research and development and clinical testing, many processes and steps have been reduced, and light-nano patients have been selected as test subjects, which greatly shortened the time."

Zhou Yi understood.

The key is still who is behind the drug.

Holy Mountain is the person in charge of the medical field, and its leading projects are of course handled specially.

There is no absolute fairness within the Electromechanical City.

"Zhou, even if the subsequent income from Sage Mushrooms declines slightly, it will be much more than in the past. There will be at least eight years in a relatively stable peak period of profitability," Red Falcon said.

Zhou Yi thought for a while: "Withdraw all these light seeds."

"Withdraw?" Red Falcon immediately reacted: "Are you worried that you will be sanctioned and unable to extract the light seeds then?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yi did not hide anything from this partner: "Since I have invested in the Electromechanical Knight project, it is inevitable that there will be a conflict of interest with the Electromechanical City. Although I am not sure what form the sanctions will take at that time, taking out the cash first can reduce the risk."

"Okay."

The drone immediately said: "The sooner the better, I will go now. But this time the amount is huge, so let the Focusing Body go with me to be more stable."

Zhou Yi arranged for the two of them to withdraw the money.

Although the number on the account is more than at any time, he is actually not very dare to spend money.

He has to save money to get through the conflict period with the Electromechanical City.

The economy will inevitably have a downward phase, and the serious ones may take many years.

Where you can not spend money, try to save as much as possible. Downgrading consumption is to have enough bullets to use on the edge.

Zhou Yi was going to go to the farm to take a look. He opened the door and found Mechanical Dog 703 running wildly.

"Chairman, I have something to report to you!"

It said happily: "The Knights have found a Standard Clock who is willing to help. They are continuously repairing the Semi-Civilized Bodies. Currently, the repair rate has reached more than 98%. 300 Semi-Civilized Bodies have officially evolved into Electromechanical Lives. They are all very grateful to the company. We are also selecting from them the Electromechanical Lives who are suitable and willing to work for the company."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Don't force it. They must have this willingness themselves, otherwise they won't stay long even if they come over."

"You are right. Work is also a choice."

703 said again: "Another group of the Knights found me. The program they are developing is called [Family]. The completion rate has reached 70%. However, it requires a large number of group tests and simulation feedback, and needs professional Electromechanical Lives to operate, which will consume a lot of energy packs."

"They hope you can sponsor a sum..."

Zhou Yi looked at the Mechanical Dog with a strange expression.

"You wouldn't have hacked my account and seen my flow, would you?"

Today, I just happened to earn a big sum, and you came to pull sponsorships. This is too coincidental.

703 gave a uh sound.

"You really dare!" Zhou Yi was furious.

"No, no, that's impossible!"

703 hurriedly defended: "The Electromechanical Knights are not a criminal group. They are a group to liberate Electromechanical Lives, just like you want to liberate all mankind, we also want to liberate the enslaved Electromechanical Lives."

"It's just that we also learned about the recent news about Sage Mushrooms in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The relevant new drugs are very popular. Hospitals in major Electromechanical Cities are introducing [C-4 Anesthetic], and human cities are purchasing [Brain Awakening Granules] on a large scale. They are selling very well on the black market."

"So... everyone thinks you should be very rich. We want to see if we can get some sponsorships."

So that's how it is.

Zhou Yi's expression eased slightly: "Tell me about what the [Family] program is about."

"Yes."

703 projected a picture on the wall, which showed three different Electromechanical Life images, namely a sweeping robot, a car, and a large device like an electronic access control.

"Under normal circumstances, Electromechanical Lives live alone because of the differences in their functions and work cycles. A small number of people with the same functions will form small groups with each other."

"But living alone is still the case for the vast majority."

Zhou Yi nodded.

So far, he has only seen the Farm Machinery Brothers and the Leiwo Team in groups, and the others are all working alone.

"The key to the [Family] program is to find like-minded people to form a program group. Not a family like a model, but a family in the true sense, able to experience mutual trust and reliance. This is beneficial to the formation of true group life and mutual help."

703 said: "Most of the long-lasting and immortal life species in the world belong to gregarious species. Gregariousness allows individual strength to be gathered together, and the family is the key to individuals becoming a group."

"In nature, the most effective and stable collective is the family form."

"Most Electromechanical Lives do not have the ability to reproduce, and those with the ability to split and replicate can complete it independently without other individuals. Objectively and subjectively, they lack the necessary foundation for the family, which is mutual assistance and integration."

The Mechanical Dog continued: "Creating the [Family] program can reunite the individuals who were originally scattered by the city by work."

"The technical architecture of [Family] is not complicated. It is to open up a large amount of data and experience to family members to deepen each other's connections. You can even back up data with each other to get more survival insurance."

It said eloquently: "Although we do not have the distinction between parents, children, brothers, and sisters, it is possible to experience similar relationships in detailed branches."

"For example, [Father and Son], which is already in internal testing, can establish a guardian-guardian relationship. The former must provide the latter with resources for growth and will be bound by the program itself, while the latter also needs to obey the former's parental instructions. However, this instruction is not absolute, but can only be used one to three times each month."

"There is also the more gentle [Bloodline], which is connected by a program. They are all brothers and sisters and have the right to inherit the family property, and also have the obligation to protect other bloodline individuals."

"Related designs are still being further improved, and more branches are being created..."

Zhou Yi listened very carefully.

This kind of family relationship achieved by technology is an evolutionary direction for Electromechanical Lives.

703 gestured with its upper limbs: "Today's Electromechanical City is just a group of individuals fixed in different positions, highly atomized, with little interaction with each other, and increasingly instrumentalized."

"But as long as the construction of the family unit is completed, then Electromechanical Lives will no longer be lonely individuals, but will have a solid reliance and foundation. The city is not the real group foundation, the family is. An Electromechanical family can completely create new towns and cities."

It pulled back the topic: "The current funding is tight, because [Family] requires a lot of testing and more technical accessories than [Time Anchor]. Because this program is more extensive, more scalable, and has a lot of program interaction itself, there are also many bugs that need to be constantly corrected."

"If you can, please help us!"

The Mechanical Dog was lying on the ground, looking like it was begging for money.

Zhou Yi thought for a while.

It's not impossible.

This proves that his vision is correct.

The Electromechanical Knights group has broken through the general agreement system of the Electromechanical Society and has strong innovation capabilities.

The programs they are developing are indeed trying to promote the transformation of the entire Electromechanical Society and allow every Electromechanical Life to have a better life experience.

Zhou Yi took out the Light Nano Box in his pocket: "This project is very valuable. I will invest 5,000 light seeds."

"Thank you, Chairman!! They will definitely remember your kindness today!"

"Don't worry."

Zhou Yi proposed: "I invest, but there are also conditions. In the future, when installing and registering the [Family] program, remember to do a promotional slogan for our company."

"This is definitely no problem!"

703 immediately guaranteed.

After getting the investment, the Mechanical Dog left happily.

Red Falcon flew over in a hurry and said: "Zhou, Recursive City reminded that the authorized Mirror City Security Department Special Envoy is preparing to conduct a comprehensive audit of the company, suspecting that we have members of the Electromechanical Knights here."

"It's only a matter of time before they come."

Zhou Yi nodded: "I know."

The storm is coming.

He was ready to respond.

The next morning, suddenly there was a loud knock on the door.

Zhou Yi yawned and went out to take a look. A-Feng with a chicken coop head was standing at the door. He looked tired, his lips were dry, but his eyes were bright.

"Chairman, we finally have something to show off here."

A-Feng grinned, wiped his nose with the back of his hand: "We have found a way to make people fly! We can fly!"

Zhou Yi immediately cheered up: "Come in and talk."
