Wasteland Development Diary

In the battle of Mushroom Forest, Zhou Yi seized a batch of supplies.

These mainly included a set of 【Light阻礙器 (Light Blocker)】 used to restrain the Iron Horse, the luminous long weapon used by the bandit leader knight, a damaged four-wheeled motorcycle, and a slender rifle with a metal-cased optical sight—its hexagonal barrel left a deep impression on Zhou Yi.

Among these items, the rifle is currently unusable by anyone. Like the previous flintlock pistol, it still requires loading bullets from the front of the barrel, which is cumbersome to operate, and without extensive practice, it's difficult to guarantee long-range shooting accuracy.

In close combat, its long loading time greatly reduces its efficiency.

This is one of the reasons why Zhou Yi never considered using firearms during his ten years in the seabed.

The technology of thermal weapons in his era had reached a relatively high level, but it still required a lot of practice with bullets. Because the country's gun control was very strict, firearms could only be found in some specific areas.

Guns and matching ammunition were not easy to obtain, and poor visibility was another major problem when using them in the Dead Sea.

In comparison, cold weapons were everywhere, with a large base, quick to learn, and not a pity if damaged.

The most common were kitchen knives and fruit knives found in every household, and steel bars inside buildings could be easily dismantled and used.

The Samurai Crabs equipped and practiced throwing kitchen knives, also making up for the weakness of insufficient range.

Remaining are three trophies.

The four-wheeled motorcycle is a good vehicle, but unfortunately, the Black Warriors were too ruthless when killing the driver and shooter. The tires were chopped off, the iron skin of the vehicle was torn open, and the front engine was full of gaps, rendering this means of transportation unusable. Without a mechanic, this vehicle is basically scrapped.

The luminous long weapon once pierced the roof of the Iron Horse, but it seemed to have run out of energy and is now just a heavy iron spear with a pointed tip. No matter how Zhou Yi tried, it no longer glowed or demonstrated its previous power.

The most well-preserved is the Light Blocker.

However, this device looks somewhat complicated, so Zhou Yi handed it over to Gong Zheng, a scholar apprentice in the front, to decipher.

After more than half a month, there was finally some progress.

Gong Zheng took Zhou Yi to the rooftop outside.

There were two refrigerator-like metal devices placed here. They are connected in a ring by a chain, with a long extension chain on each side of the ring, looking like a lock ring that makes up a large chain structure.

"The 【Light Blocker】 consists of these two 【Light Resistance Boxes】 and a 【Chain Line】 with a metal ring chain structure."

"The Light Resistance Boxes need to be activated with Light Seeds, and the two Light Resistance Boxes will enhance the power under the Chain Line. When they are deployed, they will absorb the Dead Light energy in the space covered by the Chain Line and then transmit it to the output lines on both sides."

Gong Zheng pointed to the two extension chains.

"The whole mechanism is that the Light Blocker extracts Dead Light from its ring-shaped coverage area and then discharges it to the periphery. The extension chains can be further lengthened to a safe area with metals such as copper and iron, which can reduce the risk of energy impact. However, the internal coverage area is constant and cannot be expanded, but it can be contracted."

"With this, the weakened Light Na Seed can be locked inside, preventing it from absorbing external Dead Light."

This Light Blocker is actually somewhat like a powerful water pump, extracting Dead Light from a small area and exporting it to another area not far away.

Zhou Yi immediately realized that it wasn't just the Light Blocker that locked the Iron Horse.

The luminous spear and the sniper rifle must have also played a role. Various devices worked together to suppress the agricultural machine in the trap.

Zhou Yi looked at Gong Zheng: "Without Light Seeds, how did you conduct the experiment?"

"Chairman, to test its quality, you don't need expensive materials like Light Seeds."

Gong Zheng opened the bottom door of one of the Light Resistance Boxes, revealing a tin frame inside. He held some dry grass and branches and lit a fire on the lower layer, then closed the door.

Then he followed suit and lit a fire in another Light Resistance Box.

Both tin devices began to flicker with fire and smoke.

"Please wait a moment, the verification process will take a little time," Gong Zheng said.

About twenty minutes later, the Light Blocker circuit changed. Faint light emerged intermittently on the Chain Line, but it was very clear in the dark night.

"This is it."

Gong Zheng looked relieved: "The operation manual says that burning coal, charcoal, or wood can preheat and test whether its structure is intact. As long as it produces light covering the entire Chain Line like this, it means it is usable."

"For formal use, open the top cover of the Light Resistance Box and install one Light Seed."

Zhou Yi nodded as he listened.

This design is quite thoughtful.

But whether it can be used or not still needs to be tested.

Zhou Yi walked to the Light Resistance Box, and Gong Zheng used a stick to open the top cover, inside which was a circular dent with curved copper pieces on all sides.

Install it here?

Zhou Yi snapped the Light Na Box into it, and the flexible copper pieces provided a fixed support.

Cover the lid.

At Zhou Yi's command, Gong Zheng began to preheat and debug the device.

Half an hour later.

The entire Light Blocker began to operate, emitting a low, wind-like whistling sound.

Gong Zheng took out the Light Na Box that had been extracted from the top cover and returned it to Zhou Yi.

At the same time, faint light rose in the center of the ring-shaped area formed by the Chain Line, and the Night Claw squatting inside shivered a little.

Zhou Yi asked this test subject: "How do you feel?"

"Master, I feel very weak... the energy in my body is being sucked away by external forces, I can't control it, it's like many holes have been poked in my body, and the energy is leaking out."

Zhou Yi said "Oh".

It turns out that this device is quite powerful and will also draw energy from the machine itself.

In his 【Awareness】 perspective, he saw that this Claw Boar employee was a condensed ball of white light, and at this time, those lights were slowly dissipating, being sucked into the Light Blocker and transmitted to the output ends on both sides along the Chain Line.

The experiment lasted for 1 hour, and the Light Resistance Box emitted a red light, indicating that a Light Seed had been exhausted.

The Night Claw was extremely weak when it came out, staggering.

Zhou Yi input energy into it before allowing it to slowly recover.

Experiments have proved that this device consumes a lot of energy and is difficult to cause a large effect alone. But if it is used with other props and equipment, there will be many different operating spaces.

The latest novel is first published in 6⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥!

Ji Chang's gang originally wanted to use this to deal with Emerald City.

Zhou Yi asked the person involved in Emerald City: "Can the Light Blocker work on you?"

"Its mechanism structure is excellent, but the intensity is too low."

Emerald City said concisely: "It is a feasible tool for checking the safety hazards of local housing structures. I can inject machine energy into it to start it."

Zhou Yi felt that it was okay.

At least it can be used for the maintenance of the company's building.

The night breeze is gentle.

He yawned.

Just as Zhou Yi was about to go back to his room to rest, he inadvertently saw the mottled light and shadow of the Dead Sea in the distance.

Wait a minute.

Dead Light pump.

Absorption and transfer.

A bold idea popped into Zhou Yi's head.

Could there be another way to use the Light Blocker?

"Emerald City, you can absorb the Dead Light energy in the Dead Sea, right?"

"Yes, Commissioner."

Emerald City responded: "Entering the Dead Sea area can quickly complete charging. But in that environment, the machine will be completely covered and sealed by high-density Dead Light, falling into long-term hibernation and stillness, unable to provide any services to the owner."

Zhou Yi asked it: "If the Dead Light absorbed from the Dead Sea, can you use it too?"

"As long as it is Dead Light, it is a usable and high-quality energy."

……

Zhou Yi and his employees worked for more than five hours and finally completed the modification and connection of the Light Blocker.

The Light Blocker was placed in the shallow sea of ​​the Dead Sea, and the extension chain was lengthened with steel bars all the way from the sea, directly to the tall and dilapidated Emerald City, and connected to the steel structure of its side gap.

The device starts.

Then Zhou Yi's 【Alert】 perspective saw that a blazing white light lit up on the extension chain, plating the surface of this building with a metal-textured red light film.

"Charging is very powerful."

"A large amount of Dead Light is being obtained continuously."

"If this continues, it is expected that charging will be completed in just 100 days, allowing me to return to a good state."

Emerald City's feedback stunned Zhou Yi, and then he was ecstatic.

It really works!

The mechanism of this Light Blocker means that if one end of the Dead Light is used as the Dead Sea, then huge energy can be drawn.

It's just that the Dead Light energy itself is turbulent and disordered, and the discharge will form a small area of ​​light fog danger zone.

But Emerald City is a building life and can directly withstand and absorb the energy in it.

The most important thing is that through this device's remote charging, the risk of being completely covered by the Dead Sea is avoided, and Emerald City will not only not fall into sleep, but also maintain a strong state of full power.

Light Blocker transforms Dead Sea charging pile, a great success!
