Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi asked the Radish Monster to give itself a formal name.

After all, it was a land management officer, already a formal member of the company.

It couldn't keep being called Radish Monster.

"Chairman, I don't know how to name things, and I don't know what names are good."

This Earth-Controlling Being said, "Please help me find one."

Zhou Yi thought for a moment, "Then let's call you Robo."

"I am Robo now!"

The Earth-Controlling Being happily accepted.

After discussing with the Land God, Zhou Yi confirmed the basic responsibilities of the land management officer.

Robo's job was to confirm the real-time status of the land, including whether its fertility was exhausted and whether its energy was sufficient, and to report it in a timely manner.

For other mutated life forms born in the suspended layer, Robo needed to register them and educate them on the company's policies, manage them uniformly, and prevent them from affecting the farming work on the land.

In fact, the area of the First Ring Road was very large, and it was not easy for Robo to patrol such a vast land alone.

But the Radish Monster was very happy and willing.

"Robo, I guarantee to complete the task!"

"I am now full of power, the power of the land is with me! I am very strong on this land!"

Since that was the case, Zhou Yi let it work alone for the time being.

The next thing was the new material, Radish Tendon.

This thing had high potential.

The Radish Monster used it best. As long as its roots or body were wrapped around the tendon, and the other end was wrapped around other people's heads or brains, it could have simple conscious conversations with others.

However, it was currently limited to one-on-one wired calls.

Further development was difficult.

The entire wasteland society had always had a very difficult time researching the field of consciousness. Apart from some with special abilities and conceptual beings, there was no real technology that could complete the controllable and stable use of consciousness.

Radish Tendon was a special material born from natural mutation, capable of carrying and adsorbing consciousness, and was a natural channel for consciousness.

However, the Programming Department, the Hospital, and the Recursive City's data center were all somewhat at a loss as to what to do with it.

703 said bluntly, "Chairman, although we have obtained this high-quality material, there is no precedent to follow, and we must find our own way in the dark. This process may take a long time, and it is unlikely that there will be any progress in the short term."

"The field of consciousness is like a completely closed dark room, and we can't find any reference objects inside."

"On the other hand, consciousness will affect any life, and it is difficult to judge which consciousnesses are benign and which are malignant. For such an indescribable and unspeakable thing, we must proceed with caution, otherwise it may lead to consciousness trauma for the researchers, or even consciousness death."

"Based on this situation, it will not have breakthroughs in various aspects as quickly as the Electric Cat, and may take many detours. But to promote its progress, it requires continuous Light Seeds and a lot of manpower investment... This is the objective difficulty we face."

For this research, the Machine Dog changed its usual positive and enterprising attitude and was extremely cautious and conservative.

Zhou Yi expressed his understanding: "Don't rush. But we must do this direction, and we must also plan for long-term investment. Now that we have the Radish Tendon as a starting point, it is a good start, let's take our time."

Regarding the Radish Tendon research project, Zhou Yi named it [Consciousness Nerve].

He invested the first phase of 500,000 Light Seeds in special funding, which was jointly developed and promoted by the Programming Department, Maria Hospital, and Recursive City.

...

A day later.

Good news came from Shuanghe.

Niger and Wu Yi had completed the incubation of the local Space Tree. The level of the Space Bubble there was higher, so the energy and matter erupted from it far exceeded the Sand Port area.

The Shuanghe Space Tree was in the shape of a large black mushroom cloud, covering an area of nearly 1/4 of Sand Port, 4 times that of the Lunar Landing Zone, and reaching a maximum height of 700 meters.

This area was named [Dushan District] by the Overlord.

Gaining such a large piece of land out of thin air made the Heavenly Governor laugh out loud in the communicator.

"This technology is simply a miracle... I didn't expect that land could be acquired in this way."

"I plan to use this land specifically for the production and processing of some risky things, including electrolysis towers, liquid batteries, and metallurgy projects."

It had already begun to plan: "The only problem is water transportation. This place has no water source of its own. Fortunately, the Dead Sea Canal you built before is very useful. You can build a spiraling Dead Sea Canal through the river at the bottom of the Dead Sea to bring the water up. I asked Wu Yi to help test it, and the effect is very good."

"Wait! Could it be that even this is within your calculations?"

"..."

Zhou Yi listened and stroked his chin.

So it could be done this way?

The Dead Sea Canal was originally built around the mountains, and now it's just turning the mountains into Space Trees. It's indeed no problem to pump the water up all the way around.

It's okay to copy the Overlord's homework on this part.

"But now there are flies buzzing around, and there are quite a few."

The Overlord also said: "Heavenly, other governors, and some drones, independent forces... are all staring at my Dushan District, wanting to get the secrets from me. They don't dare to trouble you, but there are quite a few who trouble me."

"Originally, I was thinking about looking around to see if I could acquire some Space Bubbles nearby, at least to let the locals give way, but now it seems impossible. They are watching me too closely."

"I can only do the basic construction of Dushan District first, and wait for this period of limelight to pass."

"It's a pity that Dushan District is too far from Shuanghe to be directly connected. I can only start from scratch to build ports and routes. It's also a problem for the residents who move there to eat, wear, live, and travel. The Emerald City three-piece set is really useful at this time. Lay the land, and the Mushroom Houses can be grown directly. Emerald Soup and Flame Cup are also very convenient and practical."

"If there was the Cave Dwellers' mobile Space Bubble technology, it would be even better..."

Zhou Yi listened and felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

When they first met, the Overlord was aloof and arrogant, throwing the people's problems to the land official Lin Qing, and only regarded resources and population as numbers.

Now it is focusing on infrastructure and people's livelihood, which is extremely important.

Because the achievements of Emerald City made it very envious, so many fields are imitating it.

Paying attention to infrastructure and people's livelihood is now a distinct characteristic of the Wasteland Company system.

...

The Wuhu Overpass was completed and connected to the Lunar Landing Zone in just one week.

The overpass was connected to an A-level Electric Cat [Phantom 49] and officially became a Thunder驭師. This also made the overpass a natural backbone of the guide network, which can supply various electric cats to run and shuttle back and forth.

The next step is to further extend the overpass and complete the island-wide highway coverage.

Strengthened vehicles and electromechanical cows transported various power equipment to the Lunar Landing Zone, and then electrical engineers and workers assembled them.

Generators, electrolysis towers, substations, and laying guide networks using floating hearts as energy devices were gradually being established.

The Dead Sea Canal led by Gongsun Bao was also being built in the Lunar Landing Zone. The ditches here will obtain water from the nearby rivers at the bottom of the Dead Sea as a water source, and then purify it for drinking and production.

Zhou Yi observed for a few days, confirmed that the progress was smooth, and turned his attention back to the company's headquarters.

Emerald City also ushered in a visitor it had never had before.

Red Falcon introduced: "This is the electromechanical monk from Snow County, Hui Mao."

"It has come from afar and hopes to travel and practice here for a period of time."

Zhou Yi looked at the electromechanical monk in front of him.

Its body was an electric scooter, and it was difficult to associate it with the profession of monk.

There was a silver metal hemisphere structure at the handlebar, with a string of numerical codes on it.

This was the monk code, similar to its degree certificate and proof of identity.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

As long as it is connected to any electromechanical station, the code can verify its identity.

Electromechanical monks are a special independent profession. They seek new knowledge and ideas for the entire electromechanical life group.

Unlike other electromechanical lives who are employed by cities, monks have no employment or labor relationship with cities. They do not belong to any city and travel and practice between regions.

Electromechanical cities are also willing to provide the necessary survival resources for this group.

The environment and conditions in Snow County are most suitable for monks to learn from and debate with each other, so monks live together, and therefore become famous.

Zhou Yi found that there was also a seven- or eight-year-old boy next to Hui Mao.

He was wearing a dirty long shirt and a pair of old cloth shoes, and he looked a little shy.

Hui Mao said through the loudspeaker: "His name is Shuzi, and he follows me in my practice."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Yuanxiao, take this child to change into clean clothes and take him to eat something."

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary."

Hui Mao said, "Only the necessary survival guarantee is needed for practice. Being pure-hearted and having few desires can reduce the interference of material desires in thinking."

Zhou Yi no longer insisted.

This was the first time he had come into contact with the electromechanical monk group.

After a conversation, Zhou Yi felt that they were different from traditional electromechanical lives.

Most electromechanical lives survive around their own responsibilities. Work is their greatest self-worth and the main theme of their lives. They pay extreme attention to efficiency and procedures.

Hui Mao was not.

It showed a peculiar sense of relaxation, speaking unhurriedly, and its words were also very peaceful.

"The mission of the monks is to seek knowledge and ideas."

"We complete our self-cultivation by observing, learning, and thinking everywhere."

"Different monks also have their own thinking themes."

"The theme of my lineage is the issue of race."

The electromechanical monk said: "Since the establishment of electromechanical cities, there has been an ancient debate."

"Can different races really understand each other?"

"So far, there is still no answer to this question."

"According to existing experience and results, most electromechanical lives believe that other races are difficult to communicate with and understand. Electromechanical lives themselves only need to maintain internal self-consistency to solve most of the problems in survival."

"But in recent years, this view has been broken. One of the sources is the multi-racial integration advocated by your company. Wasteland Company has humans, aliens, electromechanical lives, photon absorbers, bone people, and energy-based lives."

"Taking Wasteland Company as an example, the collaborative cooperation of multiple races has created amazing vitality. In comparison, electromechanical cities have stagnated for many years and have fallen into a long-term continuous decline."

"Now the legal system is also trying to integrate multiple ethnic groups to promote the progress of the city."

"It is because of this that I have taken the liberty to visit, hoping to find the answer here."

Zhou Yi had no research on racial issues.

The company model is that if you can do this job, then you can do it.

It doesn't matter if you are a bone person, a new human, or an electric cat. Everything starts from practical work.

However, the monk's visit expressed a positive signal.

It means that the electromechanical life group is beginning to learn and study Emerald City.

Hui Mao also said: "In addition, there are monks who are very worried about the Development Alliance led by you. The following are parts about them asking me to help ask for advice."

"In the electric cat system you recently launched, those electric cats are considered to be extreme weapons against electromechanical cities."

Hui Mao said: "Because electromechanical lives themselves are extremely sensitive to electricity, excessive current and voltage can cause an electromechanical life to immediately hibernate or die. This also makes many electromechanical cities very nervous. Can you talk about this issue?"

Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile: "The characteristics of the electric cat make it have a natural lethality to electromechanical lives, and in fact, it is the same for humans. But if you just regard them as weapons, then you really underestimate them and degrade them."

"Electric cats are energy-based lives, but they are no different from humans like me and electromechanical lives like you. Electric cats will also be happy when they are taken care of, and they will be angry when they are offended, friendly to friends, and discharge to enemies."

"We develop and cultivate electric cats to make them also become employees of our company. Through the construction of guide networks, the areas covered by our company become more convenient, safer, and more livable."

"Of course, electric cats have considerable combat power. They will never be soft on enemies. But if they are friends, there is nothing to be afraid of."

The electromechanical monk also said: "There is another question, which may be a bit sharp. Do you think electromechanical cities are enemies of the company?"

"Of course not."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "We are not enemies who are either one or the other. On the contrary, I have always believed that electromechanical lives and electromechanical cities are an indispensable and important part of this world."

"Survival in this world surrounded by the Dead Sea is already difficult. Transforming the environment and making it easier for everyone to live through technical means should be the consensus of every life group."

"I am not a person who is good at speeches and debates. Master Hui Mao, please observe to confirm these things. We also sincerely hope to reduce mutual prejudices and eliminate these untrue malicious rumors."

Hui Mao said: "Then I will disturb you."

It paused for a moment: "There is one more thing I need to trouble you with, my disciple, Shuzi's situation is rather special..."
