Wasteland Development Diary

The day after Teddy Bear left, the St. Petersburg finally arrived late.

This military submarine docked at the pier of Yalong Bay, signaling the Kestrel.

"Friends, your warrior St. Petersburg has arrived!"

"The annual inspection in Peace City delayed us. But rest assured, St. Petersburg will never let friends suffer. I will add two months to my service period at the end of this year as an apology."

"But this place is really hard to find. There are too many rapids and high-pressure areas in the east. I took a lot of detours to get here. No wonder I didn't see any other submarines nearby."

Zhou Yi arrived at the pier on the Ridge Hunter.

From the bridge of the cigar-shaped black submarine, the voice was clearer and louder than before, obviously after repairs and replacements.

It switched to a serious and cold tone: "Soldier St. Petersburg, reporting to the commander! Please give your orders!"

Zhou Yi thought, this professional spirit is not bad.

"My first order is to chat with me as a friend first."

"Yes! Commander!"

The St. Petersburg immediately became enthusiastic: "My friend, long time no see! This place seems to be well-chosen and well-managed. There is no war, and there are no large groups of Guangna species threatening nearby, nor is it in the core area of resource competition. It seems very stable."

Zhou Yi told him: "There is no problem here in the short term, but in a month and a half..."

After hearing about the Forbidden Weapon Ruins, the St. Petersburg immediately responded: "Please rest assured, Commander, I will adjust myself to the best condition in this month and a half to ensure the safety of this sea trip."

Learning that the Poseidon had been activated, it was both surprised and happy: "This is important good news. Originally, I was worried that as the only sea unit in the Dead Sea, I would not be able to balance defense and offense. Combat requires formation."

"Now that there is a second submarine unit, it and I can escort in a single column, balancing offense and defense."

Zhou Yi also felt this way.

In the battle outside Shell City, if it weren't for the cover and assistance of Buildings 2, 3, and 4, Emerald City's Building No. 1 would have been besieged. A large amount of light-blocking oil and iron cables were concentrated on it, and the battle would have been much more intense and difficult.

Bai Ligong adopted a system of combat, using the seahorse archers on the city wall as cover, phantom fish spewing dead bubbles as heavy firepower to block, and thorn birds dropping bombs in the air to harass, creating space for the core sea fighters to ambush.

The joint operations of multiple combat units caused Zhou Yi a lot of trouble.

If Bai Ligong had not chosen to escape at that time, but had led all the warriors to fight to the death, the battle situation would have been difficult to say.

The lord of the territorial waters should not be underestimated.

It was also because of this battle that Zhou Yi realized the need to supplement more building life to form a more three-dimensional urban defense system to prevent problems before they occur.

Soon, the two submarines began joint training in the Dead Sea.

The St. Petersburg was very dissatisfied with the Poseidon.

"A single column is a formation in which the bows and sterns of each ship are in a straight line, the line of the column coincides with the course line, and the speed and distance must be kept consistent. Otherwise, collisions will occur when the environment changes suddenly or the speed is unstable."

"Do it again! Distance, pay attention to the distance!"

"Now, while maintaining speed and distance, conduct the first simple coordinated live exercise, the target is 20,000 meters away at a 90-degree angle!"

"Too slow, too slow! If it were a real battle, the enemy would have run away long ago! Every round of attack is very important! Sometimes the difference between life and death in battle is one more round of effective strike!"

"Do it again! What are you dawdling about!"

"..."

The Kestrel was tormented by being reprimanded by an old soldier.

Although the Poseidon was controlled by it, rescue and combat are two completely different fields. In combat, the drone is just a recruit, relying entirely on the speed and firepower advantages of the aircraft. It knows basically nothing about professional Dead Sea submarine warfare.

However, the Kestrel also kept silent and practiced hard.

Seeing that the St. Petersburg actually had the ability to train troops, Zhou Yi also brought the Sea Hunter to it.

"No problem, the more diverse the combat units, the better, so that we can form more offensive space in battle and have more maneuverability."

Zhou Yi suddenly thought: "Can the Samurai Crabs participate in the training?"

"Samurai Crabs? Of course, they can. However, they are a relatively difficult species to coordinate, and they are still flesh and blood life forms, so communication and integration may be more difficult."

"Don't worry about this. Our company's Samurai Crabs have always been raised from a young age, and cooperation has become a habit. It's just that they can only understand sounds..."

The St. Petersburg said that was not a problem: "I have a translator installed. I can issue orders in my body and they will understand."

"They are common in the Dead Sea and are a natural camouflage. They can usually stay in my body and can be sent to infiltrate, ambush, and place some strategic props when needed. They are very good engineers, very good, very good!"

Zhou Yi was relieved.

The St. Petersburg led the team training every day after that. It used the controlled coastal area of Yalong Bay as a training ground, and started projects such as beach landings, simultaneous long-range attacks on targets, infiltration, deployment, and three-dimensional operations.

The Ridge Hunter complained endlessly.

It secretly came over to complain: "Chairman, you have to manage the St. Petersburg and save me! Its requirements are simply impossible, requiring me to hit the target at the limit distance, and also to extend the attack window and expand the synchronization angle..."

The St. Petersburg's standard is to complete pinpoint accurate strikes in high-speed movement, and to teach the Sea Hunter to fully deploy each side of the prism to break through the situation when being besieged.

Zhou Yi said: "Increase the intensity!"

He scolded the Sea Hunter: "Watch carefully and learn carefully. Now that you have such a good teacher to teach you, you have to stand up for me. If you slack off and slack off, see how I deal with you!"

"..."

"You will have to go with me on cross-border operations in the Dark Realm in the future. Can you do it with your current level? Even for the sake of avenging your mother, you have to stand up!"

After crying and complaining to no avail, the Sea Hunter could only grit its teeth and practice hard.

But speaking of which, it is also a strange flower. When crying and complaining, it looks like it is slacking off, but after being pressured, it can quickly adapt to high-intensity training.

High-intensity training also consumes a lot.

The St. Petersburg estimates that it needs to consume about 1,000 light seeds per month, which is very expensive.

This made Zhou Yi truly realize that it is difficult to raise soldiers, and it is even more difficult to train them.

Fortunately, he now has a lot of financial resources, and his savings are completely sufficient, so he is not stingy with these investments.

Logistics are sufficient!

Zhou Yi paid attention to the training situation in the Yalong Bay area every day.

The St. Petersburg really has a trick.

Under its high-intensity training and honing, the carapaces of the Samurai Crabs are continuously turning black - this is the evolutionary promotion effect brought to them by the battle.

The Poseidon has finally caught up with the St. Petersburg's speed and offensive and defensive rhythm, cooperating and covering each other, and cooperating tacitly.

The Ridge Hunter has endured the greatest training intensity in this new recruit team.

Every day, it must first fly back and forth at high speed in the Dead Sea sky, and after being exhausted, it is ordered to attack the designated area, requiring it to ensure the destruction of the target even when the aircraft is in poor condition.

Then there are projects such as shooting, defense, and tactical interspersion.

Later, the St. Petersburg let it and itself fight each other, often shooting it down from the air and crashing into the sea.

The old mechanical and electrical soldier said: "Flesh and blood life has a high degree of growth potential. The Ridge Hunter should not only have this level. As far as I know, there are Ridge Hunters among the A-level Skywalkers."

"So I must stimulate its potential, let the Sea Hunter get used to high-pressure confrontation, and learn to develop conditioned reflex attacks, so that it can overcome its fear and lack of confidence in high-intensity combat."

"Combat ability is the same as any other skill, it requires a lot of experience to develop."

The result proved that the St. Petersburg was very correct.

After the initial embarrassment and injury, the Sea Hunter has become visibly calm in actual combat confrontation, and is able to attack, defend, chase, and dodge with ease.

Before, it was still a little gangster who needed his own people to build momentum. After a month of regular high-intensity training, the Sea Hunter had a bit of the temperament of a soldier who obeyed orders.

...

While military training continued, the farmland also ushered in the spring harvest.

The second season of sweet potatoes and peanuts entered the harvesting season.

The fields were full of farmers busy harvesting and loading trucks, and two transport vehicles were constantly shuttling back and forth, transporting the grain from the land to the Emerald City base camp.

Iron Horse proudly handed over his report card.

"Chairman, the spring harvest has been statistically completed."

"1,000 acres of sweet potato land produced a total of 211,200 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 1,000 acres of peanut land dug out 123,300 kilograms of peanuts."

"In order to reduce damage to the soil, it is now necessary to fallow. It is best for these 2,000 acres of land to rest temporarily throughout the summer, and then carry out the second round of cultivation in the fall. This can maintain soil fertility and is more conducive to producing high-quality grain."

Zhou Yi said: "Do it according to what you said in this regard. Then rest in the summer."

It also said: "Copper Bull and I are preparing to try to plant some beans while taking care of the melon fields to see which beans are most suitable for the soil here. Beans can also be planted in the Sand Port area, they can survive in barren and arid environments."

"Chairman, although we planted late-maturing melons, and it will take another month to fully mature, but it can actually be harvested now, do you want to try it? The human farmers tried the damaged melons before and said they were sweet and crisp."

Iron Horse was energetic when talking about crops.

Zhou Yi suppressed the urge to eat melons: "Wait a little longer, eat them after they are fully ripe, good melons can withstand the wait."

"Okay."

Iron Horse finished the report and went to work again.

...

Zhou Yi found Zheng Tao and proposed a peanut oil pressing plan.

He said: "There were not enough peanuts before, so I didn't say anything about it, so I just digested it internally. How much oil can this amount produce now? Is oil pressing technically demanding?"

Zheng Tao thought for a while: "Using peanuts to press oil, the oil yield is 30%-40%, depending on the process and equipment. If you purchase a pressing machine from a mechanical and electrical city, it can reach 45%."

"According to the current inventory, using all of it to press oil can produce at least 36,900 kilograms of oil. Oil is more valuable, and it can be stored for a long time in sealed jars. The residue after oil pressing tastes good and is also a high-quality food needed by precious livestock."

He said: "Oil is an important raw material, but I still need to confirm the pricing."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Let's satisfy our own use of oil first. For example, fried peanuts, fried chicken skeletons, fried chicken wrapped in sweet potato flour... These finished foods are more valuable than simply selling oil."

Gourmet food cannot lack oil.

Now that there is oil, Zhou Yi can finally start making the things he wants to eat.

After listening to his description of these ancient delicacies, Zheng Tao's eyes lit up: "Good, good, they are all good things! Except for fried peanuts, the other two are not even available in Jin City."

The two acted separately.

Zheng Tao took the funds allocated by Zhou Yi and drove to Sand Port to buy equipment back to press oil.

Zhou Yi rummaged through the pots and pans in the warehouse, and took out gourmet books to start temporarily learning cooking techniques.
