Wasteland Development Diary

The two abilities of the Overpass now, it named them [Spatial Sense] and [Entering the Sea].

The former can sense the location of nearby spatial bubbles and spatial holes.

The latter is because the body material has all been transformed into phototactic dust and light amber, so it becomes like a fish in water in the Dead Sea.

Zhou Yi noticed that the section of the Overpass extending on the Dead Sea does not even have load-bearing columns and supports extending to the seabed, it is completely a floating bridge drifting on the Dead Sea.

But it is extremely stable, like solidified lava, very similar to the space tree.

Seeing the bridge emitting red light under [Alertness] proves that the outward extension also has B-level strength.

Zhou Yi turned on [Panoramic Reading] again.

[This unit... is further expanding and extending.]

Still the same.

Zhou Yi asked, "Can the floating bridge part in contact with the Dead Sea remain stable for a long time?"

"Of course, it is part of my body. Due to the change of material, I can now absorb the power of the Dead Sea as support. It is more stable and solid than the past land part, and it is easier to change its shape."

The Overpass said, "It's just that building such a new body block consumes a lot of energy and material. I think it is enough to maintain B-level strength."

"This way it can be formed quickly, and I will continue to absorb the energy of the Dead Sea to gradually upgrade it to A-level. But to upgrade this part to a light core body, the energy consumption is too great. Without the supplement of energy blocks, it may take me many years to do it by myself."

Zhou Yi also agreed, "B-level strength is enough."

It's just a traffic bridge connecting different lands, not a combat fortress.

Zhou Yi thought of another question: "The floating bridge part should be adjusted to be higher from the Dead Sea surface. If you want to use this area for driving, ordinary people will be exposed to strong dead light radiation if they are too close to the Dead Sea, and the smog flow here is very dangerous to them."

"Yes, it will cost more. I can pull up the height by erecting support columns below."

The Overpass suggested: "I have another, perhaps better way."

"Chairman, what do you think about making it a covered bridge? Like this."

Zhou Yi saw that the bridge section extending outward from the Overpass suddenly curled upwards on both sides, and the top and sides were closed by phototactic dust, turning into a fully enclosed long bridge.

At this time, the sun was rising, shining on the surface of the bridge body full of frosted texture, reflecting a dim light.

Zhou Yi walked into the enclosed floating bridge and found that the visibility inside was very high. The outside light entered through the gaps between the phototactic dust grains, forming dense light spots like tree shadows on the road.

"Chairman, by using closed treatment, I can completely shield and isolate the outside dead light with phototactic dust. The smog is also adsorbed on the surface of the bridge body, and natural lighting is still retained, so driving is no different from on land."

The Overpass added: "Of course, if you need to see some outside scenery, I can use light amber to create flowing walls on both sides. Try to make them thinner, so you can see the scenery along the way like glass. It's just more troublesome and expensive."

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "No need, this is fine."

It's just a bridge, it's good enough to allow vehicles from two regions to travel freely, there's no need to make the infrastructure project so extravagant.

"Since you can use spatial bubbles and holes as support and transfer, then first connect the Steel Refining City closest to here. I'll let Niger guide you, he is very proficient in alien characters."

"Okay."

After the mud tree man was in place, the Overpass turned on the infrastructure mode.

When it extended outward, it absorbed a large amount of phototactic dust from the Dead Sea, just like a huge gluttonous snake accelerating forward, a large amount of black sand grains condensed to form the bridge body. Niger went forward all the way and wrote on the bridge wall, and the two cooperated well.

From a distance, it looked like a black giant python slowly floating up from the fog, stretching its long back.

It is 270 kilometers from Sandport to Steel Refining City, but Zhou Yi looked at the current progress and estimated that the connection could be completed in a few hours.

Taking advantage of this time, he entered the Lunar Landing Zone again.

In the black solidified spatial bubble, the energy block has become smaller.

It changed from a regular dodecahedron to a regular octahedron.

It has degenerated from LV4 to LV3 level.

According to the definition of light core energy level, it has consumed 3 cores of energy.

Zhou Yi felt a little heartache when he saw it.

This is the cost of the Overpass evolving into a light core body.

It takes an LV4 energy block to transform a construction life into a light core body.

There are only two left now.

One must be reserved for backup bombing.

That means there is only one spot left.

Zhou Yi began to think about which alien employee to choose for the second one.

From a personal point of view, he wanted to give this opportunity to Emerald City.

Xiao Fu took the initiative to suggest: "Da Zhou, there is a better choice right now."

"This evolutionary method uses the light core energy crystal of the cave people to further stimulate the evolution of construction life. They only need to absorb energy and consciousness to reach A-level, and this process is directly accelerated and completed by the energy block."

"The qualitative change of Wuhu Overpass is to create a light core with phototactic dust as the element, so it becomes a phototactic dust-based form."

"Emerald City is currently stable enough. It is a rear residential building, and it can be slowly supplemented in the future. It is not a front-line member. But another one in Sandport needs to go out as soon as possible, to more and farther places."

It strongly recommended giving this spot to Leshan Giant Buddha.

The reason is that the Giant Buddha has the highest growth potential.

Zhou Yi thought in his heart.

The ability of the Leshan Giant Buddha is [Attracting Life] and [Laying Down the Butcher Knife], the more people it affects, the stronger its own ability, and it is strongly related to external interaction and feedback.

If it is transformed into a light core body, it can cross the Dead Sea and go everywhere to show my Buddha's compassion and travel.

No matter what, if a huge light core body pops up and says to you with its hands clasped together.

Friend, don't fight, be friendly.

You have to consider it at least a little.

Let the Giant Buddha advance first, which can be regarded as a contribution to the peace of this world.

No sooner said than done.

Zhou Yi immediately rushed to the outside of Sandport City and found the Giant Buddha by the Dead Sea.

At this moment, the stone Buddha's eyes were surrounded by white light, still wearing a black phototactic dust cassock, and various white-light-emitting characters were all over its body, like wearing an electronic cultural shirt.

"Giant Buddha, do you want to cross the Dead Sea and go to more and farther places to practice?"

"Zhou Yi Giant Buddha, are you going to take me to other places?"

"It's like this..."

After hearing about the transformation into a light core body, the Giant Buddha slowly waved its hand: "This is too precious, I can't afford it. I am not qualified to obtain such an opportunity... Give it to other construction lives."

"I nominally joined the company, but in fact, what I do is very, very little."

"I have neither directly benefited more people like the Wuhu Overpass, providing them with transportation convenience, nor have I provided safe and warm residences like Emerald City, not to mention Maria Hospital, which has been providing medical assistance, and Yalong Bay, which serves as a strategic rear."

It expressed its refusal.

Zhou Yi said: "Giant Buddha, your ability has a narrow scope of use on our side. Sandport has been basically calm in the past few years, and there are still many conflicts and even wars in more places outside."

"I hope that you will travel to those places that need you more, and help ordinary people who are caught in war and danger as much as possible. The company has earned a lot of light seeds from cities, and it should also fulfill its due social responsibility."

"You are the most suitable candidate."

"This world is not peaceful, but since there is an opportunity to make it a little better, then we have to try it."

The Giant Buddha still refused after listening: "Zhou Yi Giant Buddha, I have not made any contributions, and there is really no reason to accept such a big gift. Other alien employees have worked hard for many years, but I, who have not made an inch of merit, get the biggest benefit, which seems too ridiculous."

"It shouldn't be like this."

Zhou Yi had a headache.

The Giant Buddha, which seems kind and tolerant, is actually extremely stubborn.

It will firmly do what it believes is right.

It will also resolutely stop what it thinks is wrong.

At this time, a third party suddenly spoke: "A Le, is your brain full of rocks!"

"Didn't the chairman say it all? Let you go first, you are on a mission, to reduce disputes and wars in various places, and to devote yourself to reconciliation between people, reducing death and killing!"

"Also, why do you think the chairman doesn't have other energy blocks? It's just because of work needs that you go first, you stupid Buddha! How could the chairman treat other alien employees badly, especially Emerald City!"

"Letting you go out is to give full play to your strengths, it's letting you do things! Not praising and rewarding you! The new five-year plan is to go out! Have you understood the latest conference spirit!"

"Hurry up and thank the chairman!!"

The Giant Buddha was stunned by this scolding.

"..."

"So that's how it is... I'm not smart enough, I completely misunderstood the direction. I understand, I should go out and represent the company to reduce more unnecessary conflicts and deaths."

It immediately put its hands together: "Thank you, Chairman, I was ignorant."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

He didn't expect the Giant Buddha to be persuaded by the third voice, and it didn't care about being scolded.

Zhou Yi asked: "The one who spoke just now, is it [Zhi]?"

"It's me, Chairman."

Zhou Yi remembered this one.

It was the light-absorbing monster that stole from the 炅鹤 warehouse before, and he turned it into a fire seed life and locked it on the Giant Buddha.

The two formed a complement to each other.

Zhi is a habitual thief and an old hand, with a strong ability to adapt to changes, and the Giant Buddha is upright and stubborn, but it physically influences other lives, reducing killing and hostility.

Zhou Yi immediately said: "Zhi, in view of your good performance in the past few years, I will now include you in the company sequence, are you willing?"

"Willing, very willing!"

"During the Giant Buddha's travels, you must help each other."

"Understood, Chairman, please rest assured, I will scold it awake when its thinking goes wrong."

Preparations are complete.

Zhou Yi stood on the Giant Buddha's shoulder.

The Giant Buddha, wearing a black cassock, walked all the way along the Overpass and came to the phototactic dust land of the Lunar Landing Zone.

Then it sat cross-legged.

Zhou Yi took out the second energy block from the space of his prosthetic leg and connected it with the one in the spatial bubble.

The Giant Buddha was gradually wrapped by more phototactic dust, turning into a black Buddha, and some quartz-like crystals grew on the surface of its body.

Before long.

The Overpass said: "Chairman, the connection is complete! A phototactic dust bridge on the Dead Sea has been formed with Steel Refining City, and it can be opened to traffic at any time!"

Zhou Yi saw that the black long bridge across the Dead Sea extended all the way to the depths of the Dead Sea mist.

"Open it for trial operation now."

"Yes!"
