Wasteland Development Diary

After a series of thunderstorms and windy weather, Sandport ushered in three consecutive days of heavy rain, and the temperature plummeted from its high point to around 12 degrees Celsius.

Employees who were still complaining about the heat every day suddenly had to put on coats, and keeping warm became a new consideration.

Autumn has arrived.

Previously, the days were long, and sunlight and dead light were plentiful, but now the sun sets early, and the nights are noticeably longer.

Zhou Yi noticed that there were many more artificial streetlights around Emerald City.

They were small, bright yellow lights, placed on both sides of Emerald Avenue, in the green belts in the center of the overpasses, and even inside the Emerald City residential area... Even many small paths outside were lit up by them.

The luminescent material was the Yellow Firefly Mushroom, gifted by Tree Herdsman Gong.

Gong Zheng said, "Chairman, Mushroom Forest has been mass-cultivating Yellow Firefly Mushrooms. These fluorescent mushrooms grow very quickly, and Sun Chonglai has modified them to a certain extent."

"The biggest problem with Yellow Firefly Mushrooms is their short cycle. They only last for 2-3 weeks from luminescence to withering. Mushroom Forest uses a carpet fungus spreading method to allow them to last for 1-2 months, becoming brighter and having a longer growth cycle."

"Now, Yellow Firefly Mushrooms are a relatively mature lighting tool. As long as you use a ceramic pot or flowerpot filled with soil, water it regularly, and sprinkle some upside-down fertilizer, the Yellow Firefly Mushrooms can survive."

"They can provide good lighting indoors, although they can't compare to Emerald City, they can already replace Rhombus Stones. They are lighter, and you can increase the number to increase the brightness."

"Sun Chonglai spread Yellow Firefly Mushrooms on the roads so that the roads and surrounding environment can be seen clearly at night, without having to hold a Rhombus Lamp all the time, and vehicles are safer when driving on overpasses."

He said with a smile, "Next, Sun Chonglai also wants to modify the Yellow Firefly Mushrooms to be larger and brighter, to provide better lighting. But it will take time to screen excellent individuals generation after generation."

Zhou Yi liked this kind of lighting mushroom very much.

He also got a flowerpot and grew one indoors.

A few days later.

Weapon Hunter Fang Qiao came to Emerald City again.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the modified weapon, I brought it. Please take a look."

The bald young man put down the wide wooden box on his back.

Zhou Yi opened the lid of the box.

The Gatling cannon had turned from black to gold.

He took it out, holding it in his left arm with one hand, and clearly felt it was much heavier. The machine gun was plated with a layer of metal, but it was not known whether it was copper or some other metal.

"Mr. Zhou, this cannon is already Grade B, I have tested it. Its damage has been increased from 18-22 to 24-41, the cooldown has been shortened to 0.2, and the range has been further increased from 1500 to 1750."

Fang Qiao showed a confident smile on his face: "For long-range firepower, the core is that an inch longer is an inch stronger. The initial range of this prototype weapon was already very good, and now it will have stronger suppression and killing power."

"In addition to that, it also comes with a brand new ability, 'Burst Point'."

"When firing continuously, after sufficient warm-up, if this machine gun hits the same wound three times in a row, it will cause point-to-point explosive damage, which is very considerable. Although it is a low-probability event, sometimes if you are lucky, it may immediately cause serious injury to the enemy."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

The all-round improvement of the Gatling was understandable, but what was this "Burst Point" all about?

He immediately asked Fang Qiao.

"This is my technical secret and cannot be revealed."

Fang Qiao said tactfully: "Our method of modifying and upgrading weapons is different from any kind of technology outside, it is neither Print Light Art nor mechanical modification... But please rest assured to use it, because as far as the field of weapons is concerned, we are one of the most in-depth research groups."

He didn't reveal any information, and Zhou Yi didn't ask any more questions.

Just looking at the golden Gatling in his hand, he only felt that he had become a RMB player, and he got a customized weapon after recharging.

Fang Qiao also told him: "Please do not disassemble this modified and upgraded machine gun. Once it is disassembled or damaged, its current characteristics and modified upgrade effects will disappear."

It also comes with a secret self-destruct mechanism.

Zhou Yi nodded: "Understood. If there is a problem with the weapon, can I ask you to repair it? I will pay the corresponding remuneration."

"Of course, no problem."

Fang Qiao handed Zhou Yi a cylindrical communicator - it was actually the same model as Qin Xie's.

"If you need to repair this weapon, you can contact me with this."

"Okay."

"There is one more important thing."

Fang Qiao's expression was serious: "Lord Bingzhu asked me to bring you a message, if you are interested, you can come to Golden Elephant Valley as a guest, the aliens here also need help with diagnosis."

Golden Elephant Valley?

One of the Forbidden Wonders.

Zhou Yi was surprised: "Is Lord Bingzhu now in the Forbidden Continent?"

"Uh."

Fang Qiao explained: "Our base camp is in Golden Elephant Valley in the Forbidden Continent, and it has always been."

Various thoughts flashed through Zhou Yi's mind.

The Forbidden Continent can shield the prying eyes of the Celestials, and it is also completely independent of the world.

For the Bingzhu faction who want to stay out of the world, that is indeed a good place.

"If I'm done here, I'll visit Lord Bingzhu when I have time."

"Then we will be waiting for your presence, I will take my leave first."

After speaking, Fang Qiao left by boat.

Zhou Yi immediately called the assistant: "Yuanxiao, has Lord Bingzhu always been in Golden Elephant Valley?"

"Yes."

The Death Angel nodded, and then showed a surprised look: "Didn't you know?"

"..."

Zhou Yi said helplessly: "You said Forbidden Wonders, I thought those places were places where you die as soon as you enter, and no one has ever been there."

"Most lives go to these three places to die... But Lord Bingzhu is different. He is a top Light Core body on par with the Black Emperor and the Old King, and cannot be described by common sense."

Speaking of this name, Yuanxiao's tone also became cautious.

Zhou Yi confirmed again: "Golden Elephant Valley is Lord Bingzhu's territory?"

"It can't be said that."

Yuanxiao thought for a while: "Because the Forbidden Wonder itself is very special, Lord Bingzhu does not own Golden Elephant Valley, but he studies weapons there all year round, and his understanding of Golden Elephant Valley far exceeds that of other lives."

"Then the other two places, Meat Mountain and Spark Plains, also have similar Light Core life?"

"This is not known."

Zhou Yi thought to himself.

The latest novel is first published at six nine book bar!

This Forbidden Continent can be regarded as the top copy of the wasteland world, and all kinds of tough guys are appearing there.

"What kind of person is Lord Bingzhu in your knowledge?" Zhou Yi asked again.

Yuanxiao paused for a moment before opening his mouth: "Lord Bingzhu is a human being, at least he looks like a human being. I heard that he likes beautiful women, there are always a few women around him, and then there is what the outside world knows, he likes to collect weapons, mainly that's it."

Likes beautiful women.

At least it shows that Lord Bingzhu's aesthetics are online.

Loves beauty, loves weapons.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but have an image of a powerful military otaku in his mind.

...

Later that day, another visitor arrived.

The visitor was a large red-eyed vulture.

It was equipped with a translator and a signal transceiver. After landing at the door, it nodded to Zhou Yi and saluted. An electronic synthesized voice came from the microphone on its leg: "Mr. Zhou, I am honored to meet you. I am the envoy from Motorcycle City, Vulture Jinshan."

"Because your company has been cut off from the machine station service and cannot conduct regular contact through the machine station, I flew all the way from Motorcycle City."

"Your company and Motorcycle City are both sanctioned by the Mechanical and Electrical City Group, and we have the same difficulties. Faced with this external difficulty, we sincerely hope to cooperate with Wasteland Development Company to overcome the difficulties together."

"My side hopes to be able to act as an agent for the manufacturing and processing of various commodities of your company."

"What Coral Mouth can make, we can make. What they can't make and dare not make, our Motorcycle City dares to make."

Zhou Yi looked at the other party.

This was someone who came to try to win orders.

Emerald Soup and Flame Cup have completely opened up the market with their good quality and low price, and the demand has been great.

Motorcycle City wants to fight for the position to replace Coral Mouth.

However.

The outside world does not have a good reputation for this city. It is a place where semi-civilized bodies are enslaved to do various black jobs, and it is said that it also engages in slavery.

It is more like a giant black factory disguised as a city.

In terms of price, Motorcycle City can reduce costs by exploiting black workers, but the quality is difficult to guarantee.

More importantly, Zhou Yi has now made a plan for independent manufacturing, and has transferred and distributed the industry to the development alliance's various territorial sea lords for production and sales.

He directly replied: "Then you have to make a trip for nothing, there are no plans for this at present."

Vulture Jinshan refused to give up and continued to lobby: "If you are worried that our things are not good enough, you can test them at any time. Although our Motorcycle City has a long tradition of using slave labor, we never cut corners, after all, we want to have a long-term business. We are also unwilling to offend any buyer or partner."

"Do you think our reputation is too bad?"

"This is also something that cannot be helped, slavery is still the basic system of Motorcycle City after all. However, slavery itself is not guilty, we just buy those who sell themselves and mechanical and electrical lives, and then use slavery to make them create revenue for our city."

"In addition, semi-civilized bodies enjoy the same slave treatment in Motorcycle City. Motorcycle City only distinguishes between slaves and slave owners, and the slave owner is only the owner of Motorcycle City. We are all slaves, and every slave is equal and receives the protection of Motorcycle City."

"Slaves are the cornerstone of Motorcycle City, and the most important core productivity. The city feeds us, charges us, gives us physical examinations and medical treatment, regular maintenance, including helping us solve marriage, and high rewards for giving birth to offspring... In the outside world, many residents are not as good as slaves."

Zhou Yi was shocked.

He synchronized his consciousness and asked Red Falcon for verification.

"That's right."

The drone gave an affirmative reply: "The slaves in Motorcycle City include not only humans, semi-civilized bodies, mechanical and electrical lives, but also light-nano species, they all sold their freedom to Motorcycle City."

"Mechanical and electrical cities audit Motorcycle City, in addition to their enslavement of mechanical and electrical lives, there is also their frequent cracking and imitation of various technical commodities of mechanical and electrical cities."

Motorcycle City is a kind of collective slavery.

Everyone is a slave, no one should laugh at anyone.

The name slave sounds harsh, but the residents of Motorcycle City can live peacefully in this not-so-peaceful wasteland era.

You don't have to worry about not having food to eat, and you don't have to think about where to find employment. Anyway, you can live by working, just follow the arrangements of Motorcycle City.

A thought popped into Zhou Yi's mind that he himself found a little outrageous.

Slavery... seems to have its merits.
