Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi had conducted physical tests specifically for the Kobolds at Coral Port.

He remembered the specific parameters clearly.

...

[Tengu]

Strength: B

Skill: B

Vitality: C

Rating: B

...

The Kobolds have three modified enhanced bodies.

Its left foot has "Propulsion," and its right foot is for "Mech Control." Although the intensity is high after being infused with Sapphire, it is still a relatively common ability.

The "Radiation" in Tengu's eyes is relatively rare.

The receptionist, the Yeti, said, "Controllable radiation is a double-edged sword. Its destructive power is beyond doubt and is lethal to most life forms."

"But this ability is also used in important fields such as light imprint processing, medical surgery, and precision measurement. It is an indispensable and important tool."

Zhou Yi was both happy and worried when he heard this.

He was happy that this ability had many potential development directions, but worried that it was very destructive and belonged to a great weapon.

He had to restrain Tengu and let it know that this ability could not be used indiscriminately.

Especially since the Kobold, like Li Mo, had lived in the Tianren's gem room since they had memories, and had no contact with the outside world, it would take some time to adapt to the external group society.

Therefore, Zhou Yi placed it in the cave in Yalong Bay, also to let Li Mo guide this newcomer, teach it some survival rules of the wasteland world, and teach it the correct way of life.

He didn't expect its "Radiation" to have a strange chemical reaction with Li Mo's cup.

The Kobold itself couldn't explain it clearly either.

"Brother Mo said he wanted to create a cup that could really burn, to show the company people what a high-end cup is like, so I wanted to try it out. Then I discovered that the light emitted from my eyes can melt and ignite the light soot sand, so I can put the fire in the cup."

"I don't know why they keep burning."

Zhou Yi summoned the Kestrel over.

The drone used its electronic eyes to carefully scan the flame cup.

Ten minutes later, the Kestrel's loudspeaker finally made a sound: "I compared and searched the Recursive City database and confirmed the reaction mechanism."

"Under natural conditions, light soot will absorb dead light energy, but absorption and release will occur simultaneously, so it cannot accumulate energy itself."

"High-intensity radiation focusing can melt light soot, transforming their internal loose porous structure into a closed-loop structure, and the absorbed energy can be stored for a long time."

"Tengu modified the light soot layer in the cup. The flame cup is immersed in the Dead Sea, so it can continuously absorb dead light energy until its own structural limit."

"This accumulated dead light energy, as long as it is rubbed with an igniter, will be ignited, forming a continuous high-temperature release."

The Kestrel said, "The basic principle is the same as the energy pack. It's just that the energy pack is wrapped in a metal shell, and inside is fully charged light soot."

"The energy level of the flame cup is much lower, and it can only be used for ignition and heating."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

A low energy level doesn't matter.

The flame cup is a small stove that uses dead light as energy, and can be used to get fire and keep warm at any time, which is too useful for ordinary people.

Zhou Yi immediately called Cao Dayuan and Yuan Tong.

These two old employees were both from ordinary backgrounds and knew the survival status of the new humans very well.

When Cao Dayuan heard about the flame cup, his eyes widened: "There's such a good thing?"

"Chairman, heating and making fire are things everyone has to do, and the consumption of firewood is very large every year."

"It's cold and you need to keep warm, and it's best to boil the water before drinking it, and some foods must be cooked before they can be eaten. Our Emerald Soup tastes better with hot water."

"Although Emerald City can provide heating, people outside don't have this treatment. Now that it's getting cold in the autumn, the consumption of firewood is also increasing, and it will only get worse in winter."

He said excitedly: "Every household needs this thing! If we have this, people won't easily freeze to death in the winter, and we can have hot water to keep warm when we go out. It's a real treasure, really good, really good!"

Yuan Tong touched the outer wall of the obsidian cup, and an unexpected look appeared on his face: "It's not hot to the touch, but the temperature inside is very high."

"Li Mo's obsidian craftsmanship can insulate heat, but it will get very hot inside after it heats up."

Zhou Yi told him: "Sprinkle some sand in it, and the fire will stop."

Yuan Tong grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and poured it in.

As the sand covered it, the red light in the cup went out after a while, and only wisps of heat floated out from inside.

"Is the fire put out?" Yuan Tong asked in confusion.

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Actually, the sand can isolate the light soot layer from the outside world, so that the energy in the light soot returns to a stable and closed state."

"When you want to use it, pour out the sand and rub it with an igniter to ignite it again. You can also put sand in it at ordinary times to ensure that it will not be ignited."

Yuan Tong looked at the obsidian flame cup, his eyes full of love: "This is a very practical heating tool. For humans, this thing has irreplaceable value. But the production of light soot should be very expensive... Ordinary people can hardly afford it."

The smile on Cao Dayuan's face also dimmed for a while.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "It only needs a little light soot sand inside to create a fire point, and high-temperature radiation can melt it into a thin film. About 2 grams is enough, which is about 10 copper, or 1000 mushrooms. How much do you think we should price this cost?"

"10 copper?"

"It's so cheap!"

The two old employees were immediately overjoyed.

"Rechargeable heating tool that ordinary people can afford!"

"Chairman, how much should we price it?"

Zhou Yi raised his hand and made a gesture: "I want to confirm one thing first, ordinary people should have no problem operating it, right?"

"No problem at all."

Cao Dayuan played with the obsidian cup in his hand: "It's not difficult to put the cup into the Dead Sea. We have a dam here, and it's safe to put it into the Dead Sea with a rope or a set."

Yuan Tong also picked up another cup and looked at it left and right: "Actually, this is already a simple bonfire, easy to carry, and everyone can use it. I just don't know how many Li Mo and the others can make in a day?"

Zhou Yi said: "I plan to hand over the flame cup to Coral Port for mass production, so that the cost can be reduced. Only mass production can improve efficiency and output."

"Just like the Emerald Soup, I want to send the flame cup to various human cities and sell it to every household at the lowest possible price."

"What do you think?"

Cao Dayuan was a little excited when he heard this, and he raised the cup in his hand: "Chairman, you are willing to give up profits, this thing can save many people's lives."

"Many scavengers lack that fire in winter. As long as they can put together a flame cup, they can keep several people alive. This is a great thing, and it will help many people in difficult circumstances get through it! They will all remember you, remember the hope given by the company!"

Yuan Tong thought for a while and said: "Coral Port has a huge factory complex, which can quickly produce a large number of flame cups and send them to various places. Even if it is cheaper and gives up some profits, it is still beneficial to the company as a whole."

They all agreed, so Zhou Yi directly contacted Jin Yi of Coral Port.

After hearing this, the other side said: "This belongs to civilian-use fuel appliances, and there are special members in the procedure department responsible for it. I will contact you."

Zhou Yi said: "Can you simplify the process? I'll just talk to you about this?"

"Wait a moment, I will apply to the procedure department."

The latest novel is first published on Six Nine Books Bar!

Half an hour later.

Jin Yi said: "The application has been approved. Now I have been authorized by the procedure department. In the future, you can contact me for any projects you cooperate with Coral Port."

Zhou Yi didn't waste any time and showed the flame cup through the Kestrel's lens.

"I'll come over immediately."

Jin Yi once again rushed to Emerald City on a business plane.

This electronic bee flew all the way to the cave, and under the display of Li Mo and the Kobold, saw the entire production process of the flame cup, and tested and inspected the cup.

After repeated testing 12 times.

Jin Yi commented: "It is indeed a good improvement. The light imprint structure 'radiation', the heat-resistant material obsidian, and the cup shaping required for production can all be reproduced and prepared, and can be completed through assembly line production."

"The procedure department has passed the final review, and Coral Port is willing to cooperate with your company on the production and sale of flame cups and share the benefits."

Zhou Yi keenly realized.

This cooperation is different from the previous Emerald Soup. It is only a joint venture for production and sales, and there is no packaging and promotion in terms of patents and brands. Obviously, Coral Port does not attach much importance to it.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it can be mass-produced and sold externally.

"According to your emphasis requirements, regarding the dissemination of goods and the expansion of influence as the most important purpose. We have increased the weight of these two in the calculation, and the price has been lowered."

"Finally, we considered the actual purchasing power of consumers, mainly humans, and proposed to initially price it at 15 copper, or 1500 mushrooms."

Jin Yi emphasized: "Only in this way, after deducting processing, loss and transportation costs, the profit of a flame cup is expected to be only 10-50 mushrooms, or even lower."

"Can you accept it?"

Zhou Yi said readily: "Accept, that's the price."

He was doing a low-price strategy. It was cheap enough so that even scavengers could afford it. In the long run, it can improve the survival rate of new humans and allow more humans to survive the winter.

He didn't want to profit from this, just earn some reputation.

When talking about the flame cup, they would talk about the company and Emerald City, and that was enough.

For future recruitment of talents from all over the world, the publicity effect of this product itself is huge.

Then Zhou Yi and Jin Yi signed an electronic agreement, officially handing over the flame cup to Coral Port for production and external sales.

...

A few days later, the company's employees took the lead in using the first batch of flame cups.

However, everyone used the pure handmade products of Li Mo and Tengu, each of which was unique and belonged to the company's welfare.

Zhou Yi observed that the employees quickly developed various uses.

Some people put a ceramic cup on the flame cup and drank hot water and cattail grass soaked soup at any time.

Some people fixed a rhombus stone on the cup, and through high-temperature refraction, it became a high-end crystal lamp.

Some people even used it as a small forging furnace to try to burn various pottery, and some people used it to melt copper and burn iron - but because the energy level caused the temperature to be insufficient, this direction was declared a failure.

They took their respective flame cups, some used backpacks and boxes to store them, and some held them in their hands, which became a matter of course.

Half a month later.

The first batch of flame cups from the factory in Coral Port were shipped to various places and began to be mass-produced.

Relying on its cheap price and functional practicality, the flame cup quickly became a must-have tool that everyone was vying to buy.

Sandport City, Steel Refining City, and Shell City also purchased a large number of flame cups at the first time to help city residents get through the winter.

Nearly a month later.

The scramble for flame cups in various cities finally changed the plan of Coral Port and invested more promotion resources in it.

They began to package the [Emerald City Set], which included [Emerald Soup] and [Flame Cup]. The latter can process and cook the former, and the two began to be sold in combination packages, which were sold to many towns.

Although the profit was meager, the market response was excellent.

A large number of foreigners suddenly poured into the Sandport area. They came from various cities and took boats to the Wasteland Development Company here to try their luck. The flow of people suddenly increased.

The Kestrel conducted statistics on this: "The net inflow of population in the Sandport area this month is more than 1,200 people. Flame cups and Emerald Soup are the main reasons for attracting them."

Zhou Yi was very satisfied with this.

The effect was immediate.

As long as these two daily consumables continue to be sold and expanded, the company's name will continue to be transmitted to various places.

When everything was thriving, the first snow of winter fell without warning.

The first shot of the War of Honor was also fired on time.
