Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi got off the elevator and arrived outside Building 2.

The onlookers scattered in a hurry.

After waiting for a while and finding that the chairman was not dissatisfied with them, the residents of Maogu Town cautiously gathered around again to watch the excitement. Their partners, the sand rats, also poked their heads out, either standing on people's shoulders or climbing onto their heads to get the best view.

Zhou Yi took all of this in.

The partnership and collaboration between the sand rats and the residents of Maogu Town seemed to be progressing well.

He turned his attention back to the front.

Although outdoor surgery sounded a bit strange, the surrounding area was actually cordoned off, and a vehicle about the height of a person was patrolling back and forth.

It had a large square screen on top that periodically emitted an electronic prompt: "Surgery in progress, please do not disturb, thank you for your cooperation."

It seemed to be Da Vinci's assistant.

Da Vinci was pure white, with a wide black base and steerable wheels underneath.

A thick pillar rose from the base, topped with an umbrella-shaped structure resembling a lampshade, and a square screen on top.

The pillar was fixed with four multi-jointed metal robotic arms that could move flexibly in a 540-degree space.

Each robotic arm of the mechatronic doctor was equipped with surgical tools, and it was currently focused on operating on the Spine Hunter, moving its four arms left and right, inserting a thin pair of tweezers into the cut cavity.

The wide hood on top effectively blocked the snow and wind, and projected green lines of light downwards.

Zhou Yi asked the Peregrine Falcon next to him, "Does Recursive City have any other sanctions against Da Vinci?"

The drone replied, "Recursive City only prohibits Da Vinci from practicing medicine in the city, and has lowered its individual credit rating, making it unable to enjoy certain rights and making it difficult to be hired by local formal medical institutions. In fact, it is still a legal citizen of Recursive City, but it cannot hold medical or related positions there."

"The highest punishment for residents in Mechatronic City is indefinite hibernation."

Zhou Yi frowned, "No death penalty?"

"If you mean completely destroying and eliminating life signs, no."

Peregrine Falcon explained, "Mechatronic life is different from flesh and blood life, and comes with corresponding functional labor attributes and order program constraints. The Mechatronic City formulates group order to apply the citizens' abilities to creation, rather than destruction."

"Even mechatronic life dedicated to war can serve as city guards and exert their power."

Zhou Yi understood this.

Unlike humans, mechatronic life has an initial social division of labor after awakening. Some mechatronic beings are born as farmers, workers, soldiers, or doctors.

They take this for granted.

Abilities themselves are neither good nor bad, it just depends on how they are used.

Recursive City is defining the way they are used through rules.

Maintaining a stable social structure is as natural to them as sleeping and eating is to humans.

Zhou Yi thought, "In other words, Recursive City imprisons… hibernates some mechatronic beings with serious criminal behavior?"

Peregrine Falcon seemed to understand his partner's meaning, "Zhou, don't think about bailing out these dangerous individuals. Those accident perpetrators who have been forcibly hibernated are completely different from Da Vinci's situation."

"These hibernators have broken through their own program constraints and cannot be predicted what they will do. Perhaps they will remain harmless for a while, but without protection mechanisms, they will eventually lose control due to the overflow of power, and the ending is doomed."

"Hibernators are basically transferred to 'City 404' for centralized management."

404, city not found?

Zhou Yi asked, "Where is that city?"

Peregrine Falcon said, "City 404 is built under the seabed of the Dead Sea, sealed by special technology, and is a mechatronic city that even death rays cannot enter."

"It is also safe because it is completely closed and isolated from the outside world for a long time."

"Hibernators with great destructive power and danger are placed in City 404. They will remain dormant in that city until there is a way to solve their problems."

This underground prison made Zhou Yi feel a little puzzled.

"Is building such a closed city just to accommodate hibernators?"

Peregrine Falcon said, "No relevant information. The connection between other cities and City 404 is limited to sending hibernators into it."

Zhou Yi and Peregrine Falcon were talking about City 404 when they came back to their senses and realized that the surgery was over.

The Spine Hunter slowly floated, flew low for a while, then suddenly accelerated, its whole body shining with strong light, turning into a shooting star and disappearing into the sky.

Dozens of seconds later, it swooped down from the sky at high speed, bringing a loud and piercing sonic boom, scaring the onlookers to hold their heads and scurry away.

"Hahahaha!"

"This is my complete state? My power is back!"

The Spine Hunter laughed wildly and circled.

When it flew in front of Zhou Yi, who was watching coldly, it suddenly braked sharply, as if it had suddenly calmed down.

"Ch-, Chairman… I'm all better."

"I can do more for the company, just give me a little time and I can completely restore to the strength that a B-level life should have!"

Zhou Yi said expressionlessly, "Don't you thank Da Vinci."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

The ball-shaped Spine Hunter immediately turned to the four-armed mechanical doctor, "Thank you very much, doctor, you are amazing!"

A waveform appeared on Da Vinci's head screen, emitting a metallic synthetic sound: "The sutures have just been completed. Be careful not to engage in high-intensity exercise recently to avoid secondary injury to the photon organs and prolong the healing period."

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand!"

The Spine Hunter carefully flew to Zhou Yi again, "Chairman, then… I'm going to patrol."

"Go ahead. Be careful."

"Understood."

The Spine Hunter took off.

Flying high into the sky, only seeing Emerald City like a bean on the ground, the Spine Hunter still had lingering fears.

That was close!

The latest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

Uncle just had murderous intent.

It is the absolute leader here, and for the leader, damage to public prestige is more serious than injury. Just a little bit more, and it might have been killed to demonstrate… Following such a boss, you really have to be careful every step of the way.

On the ground.

Zhou Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

If this kid went crazy, it would be troublesome to deal with.

Fortunately, he wasn't brave enough.

Zhou Yi turned his gaze forward, looking at his newly introduced talent.

"Hello, employer, thank you very much for being willing to help me solve my huge debt. I am Doctor Da Vinci, and in the next hundred years, I will do my best to serve you."

The waveform on Da Vinci's face fluctuated continuously.

Zhou Yi then noticed that, in addition to the patrol car, Da Vinci also had a separate device behind it, about the height of a person, like an operating room.

"Allow me to introduce."

Da Vinci waved his four arms, "I am a Da Vinci XI surgical doctor, composed of three parts."

It pointed to the patrol car next to it, "This is the video imaging system, also called the imaging car. It is an image processing device that can magnify the surgical field of view 10 times with an endoscope and perform three-dimensional anatomical simulations to improve surgical accuracy. It is very useful for making diagnoses."

Da Vinci gestured for Zhou Yi to look at the independent operating console behind it.

"This is the main control console, or control car."

"As a signal transceiver, the main control console can conduct remote consultations with other doctors and perform synchronous collaborative surgery. Doctors have their own strengths and collaborate with each other, seeking assistants or serving as assistants is also a common approach."

"You can also see the details of my body on it, including energy reserves, body damage rate, and other data. You are the chairman, and all permissions are open to you, so you can check at any time."

Finally, it folded its four arms, "The third part is the unit that you are talking to, that is, the robotic arm interaction system, referred to as the surgical car. It is also the core unit I use for surgery and detailed examination of patients."

Zhou Yi suddenly understood.

So these are all Da Vinci's units.

The mechatronic doctor said, "Thank you for lending me a helping hand. I hope to fulfill my mission for you non-stop. I have found that there are many sub-healthy humans here. According to my preliminary scan, I have found that their diseases include tooth loss, hypothermic hypertension, bacterial infection, asthma, rheumatism, and so on."

"If you don't object, I would like to immediately conduct individual examinations on them and provide treatment plans."

Da Vinci immediately pulled up the work intensity as soon as it arrived.

Zhou Yi asked it, "Is there enough medicine?"

"Please rest assured, I have brought all the medicines I stored in Recursive City, all in the medicine box of the imaging car. According to the number of patients in this area, if they are basic diseases, these medicine reserves are enough to cope with."

After getting Zhou Yi's consent, Da Vinci immediately became busy.

Its imaging car also greeted the surroundings, "Patients with physical discomfort, please line up for consultation."

At first, no one dared to try.

It was the company employees A Jin and Gong Zheng who took the lead. They had physical examinations and treated oral ulcers and foot pain respectively. Then the residents of Building 2 learned from them and lined up to receive medical services.

Regarding this situation, Peregrine Falcon had already told Zhou Yi.

"Da Vinci needs to treat a large number of patients in order to improve the unique 'Diagnosis and Treatment' and 'Surgery' skills of the medical profession. The higher the skill intensity, the higher the success rate of treatment."

In short.

Treating diseases is like monster-hunting and leveling up for mechatronic doctors like Da Vinci.

The more patients, the stronger the doctor can be trained.
