#213 - Good signs and bad news

Zhou Yi paid close attention to the Leshan Giant Buddha every day.

“Zhou Yi Giant Buddha, it's exploring everywhere in my consciousness space.”

“It's already in dialogue with me.”

“The Giant Buddha has put forward groundbreaking views…”

“It turns out that the consciousness of most life forms is not divergent, but concentrated into a whole. Zhou Yi Giant Buddha, are you like that too?”

The two generated a good chemical reaction.

Under Zhi's guidance, the Giant Buddha gathered many scattered consciousness entities, categorized and combined them, completing the first grand unification of the internal consciousness domain.

What comes naturally to natural life is a great feat for architectural life.

“Zhou Yi Giant Buddha, I now realize that in the past, 90% of the energy within me was consumed in the confrontation and dispersion between consciousnesses.”

“In the past, I was a hundred people, and these people all went their own way, heading towards the goal in different ways. Now, I have integrated a hundred people into one, and only need to choose one direction to reach the destination to achieve the same result.”

“This greatly reduces energy consumption. According to this method, even absorbing the dead light energy on land is enough to maintain the normal operation of the machine for a long time.”

The same situation exists in Emerald City, Maria Hospital, and Yalong Bay.

Their consciousness is transformed by absorbing the memories of many groups.

Therefore, architectural life inherently has many consciousness entities, each acting independently, maintaining their own inertia and trajectory.

For them, consciousness is more like a naturally existing community.

The Giant Buddha consciously restrained the divergent consciousness entities. During the exploration process, the huge energy consumed was replenished by Zhou Yi with the Seed of Light, so it had no worries.

The final result was gratifying.

For the first time, the Giant Buddha condensed its own tens of millions of consciousnesses into a clear and powerful self.

“Zhou Yi Giant Buddha, my consciousness has become much clearer, as if walking out of a mist.”

The Giant Buddha happily shared its experience.

The company's four major architectural life forms launched a team-building party through the public area.

Zhou Yi did not participate to avoid them being restrained.

Afterwards, the other three alien employees gave very positive and strong feedback.

They successively learned to unify their consciousness, spoke highly of Zhi, and also submitted applications one after another.

“Commissioner, I hope to have a similar partner.”

“Mr. Shareholder, can you please add a Seed of Light life to me too?”

“Chairman, I request to apply for a Seed of Light life partner to evolve with me.”

This result was unexpected by Zhou Yi.

In the end, he decided to detach Baili Gong from his shoulder and distribute it to Maria Hospital.

“Thank you! This is great, Mr. Shareholder. I will definitely learn from Baili Gong to better fulfill my hospital duties!”

The reason for choosing the hospital is because it is now wartime.

Wounded soldiers and refugees from the front lines are constantly being transferred to the Shagang area in the rear.

Maria Hospital is now particularly busy. Although there are now four medical staff working inside, strengthening the hospital itself can also provide some treatment assistance.

Thus, the silver little rocket representing Baili Gong was printed on the steel structure of the hospital's foundation.

If Zhi and the Great Buddha hit it off, then Baili Gong and Maria were arguing from day one.

“Mr. Shareholder, Baili Gong actually said that the hospital has big problems. He wants me to transform the hospital and spread the consciousness entities to every ward to collect information on different patients… That's a doctor's job. How can the hospital interfere with the treatment and care of patients at will?”

“Mr. Shareholder, Baili Gong has been scolding me, saying that I can't balance the hospital's revenue and expenditure at all. It also said that I am a money-losing business… I apply to separate from it!”

“Mr. Shareholder, I apply to reconcile with it. Baili Gong has put forward a very meaningful suggestion. It believes that the hospital's medical staff should also receive 'spiritual massage' because they work with high intensity and are also nervous and worried.”

“My 'spiritual massage' is far stronger than in the past, making Doctor Da Vinci and them more focused and confident, and more efficient. The effect is very good!”

“Mr. Shareholder, you be the judge. Baili Gong asked me to put away 'self-service treatment', believing that this easily misleads patients who do not have professional skills and must have a doctor teaching them by their side… It is using the method of managing ordinary soldiers in the hospital. I think this is a serious mistake. Autonomous treatment can cover more groups and is also a good way for simple self-diagnosis.”

……

They argued back and forth.

Zhou Yi finally got annoyed and directly issued an ultimatum to Maria Hospital: “If you can accept it, continue to live together, otherwise I will let Baili Gong go to Emerald City!”

Now Maria Hospital no longer complains or appeals.

It and Baili Gong still argue, but after running-in, they also maintain tolerance and learn to compromise with each other.

Judging from the current two examples, the Seed of Light life has played a good catfish effect, making the two alien employees active and undergoing obvious changes.

The combination of Seed of Light life and architectural life is more beneficial than harmful.

Xiao Fu was also very excited about this: “It's a good sign, Da Zhou.”

“Compared to their slow internal communication, this is much faster.”

“But this matter still has to be done slowly, because in a symbiotic form, they will affect each other.”

“At least keep one of Yalong Bay and Emerald City in a traditional form, which can be compared with the Great Buddha and Maria. See what the differences will be between symbiosis and non-symbiosis over a longer period of time.”

Zhou Yi deeply agreed.

This is an unprecedented attempt, so it must be cautious. The Great Buddha's own characteristics make it not easily affected, but other architectural lives may not be.

……

A day later.

Zhou Yi went to check the mushroom house area where refugees and prisoners were settled.

Everything was normal there.

However, several prisoners, led by the young military officer Liu Zhaoshan, were inquiring about Zhou Yi's deeds while working hard to reform themselves.

When interrogated by the Red Falcon, he said: “I want to figure out why Mr. Zhou has such ideas and whether it is true that he is recreating the human abilities of the Age of Gods.”

“I plan to sort out Mr. Zhou's deeds and then record them in writing, which should be useful for both our side and your side.”

Zhou Yi didn't care.

As long as they are willing, they can always find out what they are doing in the Shagang area, and there is no need to hide it.

He let the young man go.

……

The latest novel is first published on 69shu ba!

In the second month of winter, the war on the front lines suddenly intensified.

Zhou Yi saw through satellite signals that Shell City was riddled with holes and a large number of mushroom houses were damaged.

Fortunately, this residence is a life form. As long as the hyphae in the soil are still there, it can be gradually repaired and continue to grow. However, the dead light energy in winter is insufficient, and the growth is slow.

The Extinction Duke Fleet launched a concentrated impact on Shell City, and the Beidou Duke's naval forces could not stop it at all. Both sides seemed to have misfired, only briefly erupting into localized boarding battles.

The beach landing still began.

Warships docked on the coast, and tall red-haired monsters roared and charged. Human soldiers with shields and cold weapons followed behind and went out with the army.

Two cannons like coastal defense guns were erected on the walls of Shell City, but they could not fire.

Hippocampus archers and phantom fish also seemed to be stuck.

Only the Beiyang Legion resisted head-on, and the Iron Guards engaged in a frontal meat grinder battle with the enemy, and soldiers on both sides continued to be injured and killed.

“What the hell is going on?” Zhou Yi frowned as he watched: “The defense line was breached so quickly? Are the ranged weapons blocked?”

“Yes.”

The Red Falcon adjusted the lens of the satellite signal, locked in the far end of the Dead Sea, and landed on a large creature.

Its whole body was lead gray, and its exposed back was like a floating island. There were warships escorting it, and aerial troops of thorn birds, red-eyed vultures, and fox bats were protecting it above.

“This is a B+ level life form, a gray whale.”

The drone said: “Its 'whale song' sonic waves can cover 5 kilometers, which will severely disturb the light seal structure and block the release of external energy… that is, lock the remote attack.”

“Although it only works on B-level and below life forms, it has great strategic significance on the battlefield.”

Zhou Yi's heart shuddered.

No wonder.

This 'whale song' ability sounds familiar.

He remembered that Qin Xie said in United City that there was a light seal called 'Forbidden Altar' that could ban active skills.

The Red Falcon said: “'Whale Song' is the prototype of 'Forbidden Altar', and the effect is much stronger. The only problem is that continuous release consumes a lot of energy.”

The Extinction Duke sent out a gray whale, directly disarming both sides' ranged weapons.

This allowed their numerical advantage to break through the outer Beidou Duke fleet and begin the impact and occupation of the land.

The enemy's mixed melee corps had thorn birds in the sky and red-haired monsters on the ground.

If it weren't for the Beiyang Legion resisting on the front line, locking the red-haired monsters as arrows, Shell City would be at great risk of falling if it lost its ranged firepower.

“This is not the most troublesome thing.”

The Red Falcon turned the camera.

On the screen, after the Extinction Duke's human soldiers appeared, they charged all the way with shields, greatswords, and broadswords.

They all wore conical helmets covering their faces and soft armor, and were extremely fast.

“Enhancers?”

Zhou Yi frowned.

But gradually he found something wrong.

Under the impact of these people, Shell City's human soldiers experienced vomiting and nosebleeds, completely losing their fighting ability.

Those enhanced warriors charged towards the city at high speed.

They clashed with the inner Iron Guards, and the battle was fierce.

Zhou Yi's face became more and more serious as he watched.

“This is… a mutant?”

“Yes, Zhou.”

The Red Falcon said: “They sent out mutant troops, using radiation to massively kill our human soldiers.”

“This is bad news.”
