Wasteland Development Diary

"Is this really possible?"

Kunming Station raised a question: "Connecting a building's life to an electric cat requires professionals, right?"

"Electric shamans need a conductor as a medium to move. If there's a lack of relevant electrical infrastructure, even if they can connect to the electric cat, how can they move?"

Zhou Yi patiently answered them one by one.

"Becoming an electric shaman indeed has a whole set of digital standards. It requires setting the building's life potential to 3.1415926 microvolts and a frequency of 0.51Hz—then it can form a deep connection with the external electric cat."

"However, the actual operation isn't complicated."

"Our working electric cats have stable personalities and can recognize various situations. A-level electric cats with experience connecting to building lives can directly connect to other building lives."

"As long as the other party doesn't resist, the whole process can be easily achieved."

This was what Pikachu told Zhou Yi after mingling with the cat crowd.

A-level electric cats returning from advanced studies in Spark Plains can all do this.

This is also their superior working characteristic compared to B-level electric cats. They no longer rely on external electric potential to match themselves, but can further adjust their own potential and current to adapt and be compatible with the external environment.

"Then, the second question."

Zhou Yi continued, "The essence of an electric shaman is that the electric cat dominates and envelops the connector, thereby temporarily moving in electric form. It does require a conductor to provide a movement path. However, short-distance movement in the air can also be done, but it consumes a lot of energy, causing the electric shaman state to dissolve quickly."

The company's first electric shaman, Nightclaw, eliminated aerial robbers in this situation.

Kunming Station asked, "What is the range of short-distance movement? Is there a definite range?"

"This depends on the electric cat's situation and the electric shaman's situation, varying greatly. But you don't really need to care about it."

"There are high-quality giant natural conductors in nature."

Zhou Yi smiled, "As long as thunderstorms appear, the squall line connecting thunderstorms or cumulonimbus clouds, the hundreds of kilometers it covers are areas where electric shamans can move freely. This usually lasts for several hours."

"It can even be like this… electricity is truly a magical energy!"

Kunming Station was overjoyed: "I understand. You mean, use A-level electric cats to drive building lives, and then you can bring them over!"

"They are also natural persuaders!"

"I know where I misunderstood… Working electric cats are also your company's employees, but I understood them as purely tool lives."

"Correct."

Seeing that the other party followed his train of thought, Zhou Yi continued, "I think we can cooperate in this area. In searching for building lives, you, United City, have been engaged for many years and have a solid foundation and information. Our company has electric cat technology that allows building lives to move freely."

"Now that summer has arrived, it is the season of frequent thunderstorms, which is a good opportunity."

The other party understood immediately: "I understand what you mean. But do you have enough A-level electric cats over there? We have surveyed many building lives, but follow-up contact is still in progress."

"I can spare two A-level electric cats. Later, as long as the third batch of seagoing electric cats returns, the number of advanced working electric cats will increase."

After discussion, the two parties finalized a joint operation model.

Emerald City Building 7 from the company will be dispatched, and it will take the electric cats on a journey. Under the satellite guidance of United City, it will roam through flight and thunderstorms, contacting those independent and wild building lives.

Zhou Yi called Ah Jin and announced the latest order to him.

"Your scavenging team will act in coordination with Building 7. You, Xie Tu, Bai Yi, and Bai Er, remember to bring sufficient supplies, including food, water, and necessary medicines."

"This task will take a lot of time and effort. You can raise any requests you have."

Ah Jin, now a young man, thought for a moment: "Well, Chairman, originally our firepower was a bit insufficient. But since you've sent two A-level electric cats to accompany us, that's not a problem at all."

"Can we get some beer and cola? And fries."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Go to the warehouse with Yuanxiao and take whatever you want."

"Okay!"

The young man immediately beamed with joy.

Based on the joint action, Zhou Yi also instructed the Electricity Department to provide guidance on the electrical infrastructure projects in United City and sent three B-level working electric cats there.

One week later, the continuous contact signal sent by Kunming Station one night kept the enhanced controller beeping.

Zhou Yi swiped the screen, yawning.

"What's wrong?"

"I have good news for you."

The voice from the satellite station was light and cheerful, not concealing the joy: "The three working electric cats you sent over have shown significant improvements in their battery life, awareness response speed, and explosive power! Although they can't compare to A-level, their growth and progress are very obvious."

"Especially Phantom Spirit 47, it told us through the electric cat transcoder that its [Penetration] ability has become stronger and can achieve 100% penetration."

What?

100% penetration?

Zhou Yi was shocked: "You mean, its [Penetration] can ignore defense?"

"Yes."

The satellite station over there seemed to have finally regained some face, and its tone was quite proud: "Mr. Zhou, why don't you guess how this was achieved?"

Zhou Yi pondered slightly.

"It should be… the Olympic Sports Center?"

"Correct."

In fact, this is basically not difficult.

To further improve the strength of electric cats in a short period of time, United City does not have electrical equipment support. The biggest advantage of the area is that several building lives constitute a unique alien urban infrastructure system.

Among them, the Olympic Sports Center has its own [Competition] ability. High-intensity competitive activities in this sports center allow the winner to break through their current limit and receive some energy and consciousness as a reward. The higher the intensity, the higher the reward.

In the past, the Heavenly Kingdom used a gu-raising method to throw mutants into it for a battle royale, and two Skywalkers emerged.

Zhou Yi thought of it immediately.

Kunming Station added: "Now, the Olympic Sports Center has become a popular place in United City. Residents conduct regular sports competitions here, which can improve the strength of their flesh and blood life and delay aging."

"Light-Na’vi will conduct more intense confrontations, competing in pure strength, speed, agility, etc., including some direct combat duels."

"Plus, the Olympic Sports Center has the [Crowd Gathering] characteristic. The more people who watch the competition, the greater the help for its evolution and improvement. So we are also advocating and encouraging this lifestyle and strengthening method."

"When conducting electrical infrastructure construction, I tried to let the electric cats join in, and they participated in speed competitions."

"However, because they have the characteristics of electricity and are too fast, other competitors cannot compare with them at all, so it became a competition between the three electric cats internally."

"In these seven days, they have been chasing each other, with each having wins and losses, and the gap between them is very small. However, because winning can get the energy and consciousness rewards from the Olympic Sports Center, their competitive confrontation is becoming more and more intense… In the end, Phantom Spirit 47 stood out, continuously accumulating through subtle advantages, and finally established an absolute advantage."

"Then its [Penetration] was strengthened."

"The audience likes watching their competitions very much. The electric cats running on the wires will pull out a long arc trail, which is very beautiful, like a racing car. They fly through complex indoor tracks, and they also need to penetrate random obstacles, and they may collide with each other to generate a lot of sparks and arc rotation, which is very ornamental."

Kunming Station said: "With the increase in the audience, the Olympic Sports Center can also get better improvement feedback. This can be considered a win-win situation."

Zhou Yi also listened with envy: "The two characteristics of the Olympic Sports Center are really full of potential."

But the Olympic Sports Center said during the previous contact that it would join United City and has a very good relationship with them.

Kunming Station said: "I think it's better to send your electric cats over here for at least one round of competition. The winners also have the opportunity to achieve the ability enhancement like Phantom Spirit 47."

"In this way, we can also contribute a part and not be completely unproductive in the electric cat system. Only taking dividends and not doing anything does not conform to our city's philosophy."

"That's of course good! This can promote the further growth of electric cats."

Zhou Yi summoned Electricity Minister You Ai overnight and revised the electric cat training process after discussing it with her.

The final determination is as follows.

The first electric cat training base is San Cha Po. Company electric cats will enter Spark Plains with the help of leading electrical engineers to conduct a one- to two-week rapid advancement.

The second training base is located in the Olympic Sports Center. This is mainly to further enhance various abilities, continuously improve at the level of ability characteristics, and improve in the basic fields of life, damage, and energy.

Every working electric cat must complete at least one cycle of training at both training bases.

For those with excellent performance, special Light Seeds, Floating Heart Generators, and even luxury detached Curved Houses will be awarded.

You Ai also said: "Chairman, various discoveries and inventions in the electric cat field are growing explosively. Although new electrical engineers are constantly taking up their posts after training, manpower is still in short supply."

"Fortunately, electric cats have also played a big role. Several smart electric cats are already qualified to work as ordinary electrical engineers."

"Taku Takeshi is now specifically responsible for further screening and training working electric cats to enable them to serve as electrical engineers. In this way, electric cats can judge the electrical situation from the source and give us direct feedback, which can greatly reduce our manpower."

Zhou Yi also agreed with this: "Electric cats are the core of the electric cat system. The demand for electric cats in various regions will continue to increase, so you still have to work hard in this area. If you lack resources and manpower, just ask, and I will find them for you."

"Chairman, please rest assured that we have already sorted out and improved the three major processes of breeding, screening, and training. Next, it will be much faster. This summer, we expect our working electric cats to exceed 300."

The Minister of Electricity said with her newly replaced advanced speaker: "Once the electric cat system is rolled out, no matter what region, it will either follow us into the fast lane of electricity construction or be left far behind by our speed."

"They have no choice but to embrace the electrical wave we are leading."

You Ai spoke with cadence: "In the past, the glory of electricity, the electrical engineers of the old humans have made great contributions, but unfortunately, after the Age of Gods, electrical studies have been declining until now."

"We, the younger generation of electrical engineers, will reconstruct the entire world with electric cats and make electricity great again!"

Zhou Yi then realized that the coldness of this electrical engineer in the past was due to the poor sound equipment.

She loves electricity deeply and can't wait for the revival of her profession.
