Wasteland Development Diary

Mud-Grit demonstrated remarkable efficiency and skill in crafting the mud slabs. The ease with which he molded the mud reminded Zhou Yi of his grandmother making dumplings in his childhood.

Both of them could chat while their hands never stopped, quickly shaping one slab after another and setting them aside.

Mud-Grit said while working, "Chairman, although we Mud-Tree people don't fully understand the specifics of these 12-hole boards, we're very familiar with their operation. Because these things are truly useful."

"As long as they are matched with different spatial bubbles, they can provide stable fulcrums."

"So we call this technology 'Space Tree' in our world, which is to harness the power of spatial bubbles and turn it into a tree-like structure."

Mud-Grit used many No. 3 hole boards to enclose the black spatial bubble with a square mud slab house.

The black mud from the spatial bubble seeped into the holes of the mud slabs, fitting together almost perfectly like a mortise and tenon structure.

"Chairman, please stand back a little."

Mud-Grit held a No. 3 hole board and reminded, "I'm about to seal the last piece, achieving complete enclosure. This will cause the Space Tree to grow outwards, and the substances compressed inward will expand outwards. I don't know how many years this spatial bubble has been growing, so I can't judge its size, but it shouldn't be too small."

Zhou Yi, the Land God, and Wu Yi retreated more than ten meters.

Then,

The Mud-Tree person filled the last gap.

The square chamber made of hole boards began to tremble.

A large amount of black mud shot out from it, expanding into a large amount of black foam. These foams curled and stretched irregularly in all directions, seemingly endless.

Zhou Yi and his party continued to retreat.

It wasn't until three hours later that the black foam completely stopped expanding and solidified.

The spatial bubble ejected a black landmass, its size approaching 1/6 of Sandport, which was very astonishing.

Its base was adjacent to the deserted residential area that the company often frequented in its early days, and it was even closer to Sandport after the expansion.

Standing on the black foam land and looking out, Zhou Yi could see the Light-Smut Dam and Emerald City No. 5 patrolling beside it.

However, it was not very clear due to the obstruction of the mist.

Zhou Yi turned his attention back to his feet.

This place was different from regular islands and land, being entirely made of black light-smut. After the ejected black foam solidified, it turned into a light-smut layer with a large number of pore structures.

It expanded and stretched outwards, shaped like a super-sized black broccoli.

No wonder it was called a Space Tree.

The highest central mountain peak was 300 meters high, but the surface slope was very gentle, and the whole was a giant small hillside.

Zhou Yi stomped his feet, and the touch under his feet was very firm. The material structure of the Space Tree was as stable as rumored.

"It's actually so small..."

Mud-Grit, who was standing aside, looked shocked: "I've never seen such a short and weak Space Tree. What's wrong with this spatial bubble? Is it underdeveloped? Or was it born too short a time ago?"

Zhou Yi asked: "How big are the Space Trees in the Mud-Tree world?"

"Not shorter than our Sky-Piercing Tree. The shortest is also over a thousand meters. This is the first time I've encountered such a weak spatial bubble."

The Mud-Tree person scratched his head: "I don't understand, I don't understand."

The Land God next to him was flying around on this new black land.

"Wahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Land, it's real land!"

"With such a thing to fight against the Dead Sea, there is finally hope for the revival of the land!"

He laughed all the way.

Zhou Yi also turned on [Panoramic Reading] to scan the Space Tree.

[This substance has a special configuration space that can connect to the spatial momentum of a certain dimension, the principle is unknown.]

Same as before.

Zhou Yi asked Mud-Grit again: "The Space Tree is the result of the spatial bubble inhaling and compressing substances for many years and ejecting them outwards. Will there be instability, or shrinking or even sinking in the future?"

"No."

Mud-Grit waved his hand: "In our world, there are no examples of Space Trees collapsing or breaking naturally. They are more solid than the Sky-Piercing Trees, but they don't have the vitality of the Sky-Piercing Trees."

"We usually use Space Trees as shelters, or to hunt, and connect them to the Sky-Piercing Trees with mud slabs."

Zhou Yi said: "How to connect?"

"Still using hole boards."

Mud-Grit gestured: "The range of the spatial bubble is the area of spatial structure it can affect. Further away are other spatial bubbles or holes, and they interact with each other."

"Next, just use 12 hole boards along the surrounding circle to find areas that will react, which is more troublesome and cumbersome. In specific areas, different types of hole boards will react."

Zhou Yi was stunned: "Doesn't that mean you can use Space Trees to connect and fill the entire world?"

"If you really want to do it, you should be able to, but it's very, very troublesome, because you have to constantly screen and search to cover various areas around the Space Tree, up, down, left, and right."

"Most of them are invisible space holes, and it takes a lot of effort to find them," said the Mud-Tree person.

Zhou Yi felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

The biggest constraint of the wasteland era, the problem of land being non-renewable and continuously decreasing, can be solved with Space Trees.

Given enough time, it can connect one isolated island after another and rebuild the continental landmass.

In addition to being excited, Zhou Yi felt puzzled: "You originally mastered the Space Tree technology, why didn't you use it to create land? For example, turning the soil over and planting something?"

"There's no need for that."

Mud-Grit yawned: "Chairman, we have Sky-Piercing Trees, and we don't lack food. If I hadn't eaten the delicious food grown in the soil here, I wouldn't have known that there are so many things growing in the land."

There was no such need over there.

So there was no motivation.

The Mud-Tree people have Sky-Piercing Trees, and any fruit that doesn't have enough flavor is considered a defective product that they won't eat.

Zhou Yi also understood.

He called out to the Land God who was still flying around.

"Look, is there any problem with covering this place with soil for planting?"

"No problem. This is undoubtedly land, although structurally it is built with light-smut, and the internal light film support comes from the power radiated by the spatial bubble outwards."

The more the Land God spoke, the more excited he became: "This plan must be vigorously promoted! Land is everything! The more land there is, the stronger I am, and the connecting roads are also land! This road can be expanded outwards! As long as land can continue to be born, I will become stronger and stronger!"

"Now everyone who sees me mocks me, and those guys I used to look down on can now give me two punches!! It's because there is less and less land in this world, because of the natural collapse of land in wars and the Dead Sea, I am getting weaker and weaker."

Zhou Yi expressed his understanding: "Don't bully a young man for being poor, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. We will get it all back in the future!"

The Land God roared: "I can't wait thirty years! I want it now! The sooner the better!"

Three days later, the mud slab road connecting the Space Tree and Emerald Avenue was officially opened. This avenue was 6 meters wide, 1.1 kilometers long, and 4 meters away from the surface of the Dead Sea below.

Zhou Yi ordered the Wuhu Overpass to extend towards the Space Tree, adopting a plan where the overpass is used for vehicles and the underpass is used for pedestrians.

At the same time,

The development of the Space Tree ground was launched simultaneously.

Among the construction plans submitted by various departments, Zhou Yi finally finalized the plan of the Electricity Department.

The Space Tree will become the company's power hub, where generators, electrolysis towers, and curved houses will be built in batches, and a net will be constructed.

This place has unique advantages.

The light-smut pore structure inside the Space Tree can be used to connect flying silks and wires. It is a natural protective layer in itself, enough to withstand external attacks of B-level intensity, and electric cats can travel to and from various places through the Space Tree.

The nearby sky guide network and submarine cables are also being laid simultaneously.

This Space Tree area was also named [Moon Landing Zone] by Zhou Yi.

Because the spatial bubble below is connected to the moon.

In the future, it will also be used as a stepping stone for cross-border exploration and development.
