Wasteland Development Diary

#409 - Earth-controlling creatures

Duke Mieting contacted Zhou Yi immediately, firing off a barrage of questions.

"What's going on with that Lunar Landing Zone? There was nothing there before."

"Did you develop a technology to turn the Dead Sea into solid ground? Or did you raise the land from the seabed?"

"What's the current situation?"

Zhou Yi explained the gist of the technology.

He never liked being secretive with his own people.

"Spatial bubble... the power of space..."

Duke Mieting muttered, "This is beyond my knowledge and understanding. It's so complicated."

Zhou Yi said, "Me too. But like the Mud Tree People back then, it doesn't matter if we don't understand the principle. We use it first. Any technology that brings convenience and benefits is good technology."

Duke Mieting was puzzled, "Aren't you afraid of any hidden dangers behind this technology?"

"Are we not going to use it because we're afraid?"

Zhou Yi retorted.

The other party was speechless.

"Don't be scared by difficulties that haven't appeared yet. Let's use it first, and we'll find solutions when we encounter problems."

Zhou Yi had always had this attitude.

Duke Mieting pondered for a while and said, "You're right. I sometimes worry too much, but my basic preparations are insufficient, which leads to being hesitant and easily missing opportunities in hesitation."

"You know, I also have a spatial bubble here. When will it be my turn to develop this place?"

"We can do it now."

Zhou Yi said readily, "The spatial bubble is a ready-made coordinate point. We can build a space tree around it and create a piece of land."

"Further development here will take a lot of time, so I'll let Niger and Wu Yi go to your place first to incubate the space tree."

"That's great!"

Duke Mieting said excitedly, "Just tell me what you need. You can take anything from me that I have."

Zhou Yi laughed, "We're all family. Of course, everyone should use good things. If you're strong enough, you can help me withstand the pressure from the north."

"But this matter must be handled with caution. A piece of land appearing out of nowhere will definitely be discovered and关注 by the outside world."

"I understand that."

Duke Mieting said, "I will deal with it carefully."

Unlike the obvious spatial bubbles, those hidden spatial holes are difficult to find.

The Mud Tree People only knew how to use the Cave People's technology, but not why.

Therefore, Niger could only use the most stupid method, carrying the 12-Cave Board around the Lunar Landing Zone, searching for signals up, down, left, and right, bit by bit, to find those areas that would react.

In theory, there must be other spatial holes nearby, but finding their coordinates was a very time-consuming and laborious task.

That's why Niger said it might take a year or two.

Niger and Wu Yi went to support the Shuanghe area, leaving only Landlord here.

It sealed each section of the ring road around Sandport with soil, and then told Zhou Yi something.

"Sealing the soil is only part of my ability, and it's the beginning of exerting influence on the land."

"Based on the sealed soil, the next stage is called [Controlling Earth]."

"This will accelerate the growth of mutated life born in the land. Mutated life will improve the efficiency of the land in acquiring external matter and energy, and maintain the effect of the soil sealing. They can be called Earth Controlling Creatures."

"The existence and activity of Earth Controlling Creatures will make the land more fertile and full of changes."

In layman's terms.

It is to strengthen the mutated life in the soil sealing link, so that they are completely transformed into Earth Controlling Creatures and become Landlord's direct subordinates.

Similar to the feeling of conferring a land monster to guard a territory.

"But there are also risks."

Landlord added, "There can only be one Earth Controlling Creature on a piece of land. If they die, the Earth Control will also fail. Because the initial Earth Controlling Creatures are very weak, the mortality rate is very high."

This was not a problem.

Zhou Yi said, "The company will clearly stipulate the protection of the safety of Earth Controlling Creatures."

"Well, that's good for the company."

Landlord continued, "Another thing is that as the Earth Controlling Creatures grow, become stronger and smarter, their self-awareness will become stronger and stronger. Eventually, they may choose to leave this land and give up their identity as Earth Controlling Creatures. This situation is very common."

"Because the output of the land is very slow, and it needs to be calculated in seasons. The energy required by the Earth Controlling Creatures will become more and more, and they need to obtain it from the outside world."

"Once they leave, the soil sealing will also fail, and the land will enter a period of weakness for several years, losing a large amount of matter and energy. Because the soil sealing creature itself holds part of the energy of this land, the land will also be severely damaged after it leaves."

Zhou Yi frowned.

This was a double-edged sword.

Earth Controlling Creatures are like the officials guarding a territory. If they carry the wealth of the land and run away to the outside, this land will also be greatly damaged.

However.

Zhou Yi thought again, "Failure of Earth Control will lead to damage to the land, so what about the success of Earth Control?"

Landlord said, "Earth Control is successful if there is no failure."

"..."

Zhou Yi was speechless.

If you don't have a reward for successful Earth Control, which Earth Controlling Creature would be willing to follow you for a long time?

In the end, I'm afraid they will all run away with the power of the land.

Zhou Yi thought for a while, "Then how about this operation? You come to Earth Control selection, and Earth Controlling Creatures are incorporated into the company's establishment. It goes to the company's land department to serve as a land management officer, and I pay wages here, so that people can work for a long time."

"That's good!"

Landlord immediately said, "The company's financial resources are enough to support Earth Controlling Creatures. They can't find a better treatment and home than here outside."

"Chairman, how do you want to select them?"

Zhou Yi thought for a while, "Earth Controlling Creatures are new things after all, so we have to try them out."

"I think the Radish Monster is good. It diligently grows radishes, and I haven't heard any bad rumors about it so far. Let it be the Earth Controlling Creature and try to hand over the land on the entire ring road to it first."

Landlord said okay.

It flew to the suspended layer where the Radish Monster was located, and its clay body emitted a soft green light.

At this time, the Radish Monster below was checking the growth of the radishes.

Being illuminated and filled with green light made it wave its long whiskers, as if dancing a water sleeve dance in place.

Wheat field-like green patterns appeared on the land of the suspended layer. These patterns were connected to each other, and finally converged on the Radish Monster, forming a complete closed loop.

"Earth Control completed."

Landlord lowered its height and said to the Radish Monster, "From today onwards, the land I marked for you will be guarded by you. Don't neglect your duties, and don't let down the chairman's trust."

The Radish Monster raised its long whiskers, as if saluting the commander to receive orders.

Zhou Yi found that the Radish Monster had grown a circle in a year, its roots had become more numerous, and the leaves on its head had become more lush. He just didn't know where it found a rope and wrapped itself into a little mummy.

He said through consciousness synchronization, "Radish Monster, the company has decided to incorporate you into the company's land department as the land management officer of the Sandport Ring Road, with a provisional salary referring to the company's senior agricultural personnel, with an annual salary of 12 light seeds."

"There is a lot of land here, and your work will be very hard. If you need anything, you can find Landlord. In the future, we will gradually equip you with some assistants and necessary tools."

"Yes! Thank you! Chairman!"

After becoming an Earth Controlling Creature, the Radish Monster emitted a green light, indicating that its life level was at least D-level, which was a notch higher.

Zhou Yi asked again, "What have you done this year? Tell me about it."

The Radish Monster rattled on for a while.

It spoke in a disjointed manner, basically telling a running account according to each season, but Zhou Yi still patiently listened to the whole process.

To sum up.

The Radish Monster did two things.

The first was to continue planting radishes. As the suspended layer continued to expand, it would also go to take care of other radish fields, which greatly improved the radish production of this layer of suspended farmland, and obtained a larger number of large mutant radishes.

The second was that it collected the tendons left after the mutant radishes died naturally, twisted them into a long rope, and wrapped them around its body.

"After the number of these tendons increased, I connected them to my body, and I could hear the voices of the outside world."

"I can understand a very small part of them, and I can also talk to them."

Zhou Yi asked Landlord next to him, "What is the principle?"

Landlord said, "I only understand the land. But what kind of life the land will give birth to is not my field."

Zhou Yi stared at the radish tendon rope that the Radish Monster took off.

There was no luminous phenomenon under the [Alert] perspective.

There is no energy reaction itself, that is, the special attribute of the material itself?

Zhou Yi turned on [Panoramic Reading] again.

A description popped up in front of him.

[This substance can adsorb and connect consciousness. It is a special natural material.]

This radish tendon can connect consciousness?

Zhou Yi was shocked.

He wrapped it around his arm, but he couldn't feel the so-called external consciousness sound.

Is the usage wrong?

Zhou Yi asked the Radish Monster, "How did you do it?"

"I wrap it with roots, and it's okay."

The Radish Monster and the Radish tendons are naturally compatible.

Just when Zhou Yi couldn't get the hang of it no matter how he tried, Xiao Fu's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Try wrapping it around your head."

Zhou Yi did so.

As the tendons wrapped a special headband on his forehead.

Zhou Yi's mind suddenly seemed to open a channel.

Various whispers intertwined with each other.

"Quick..."

"Die, die!"

"The world will eventually be destroyed. I can't escape, and you can't escape, can't escape!"

"Hahahaha! I won't die. I'm immortal!"

Various voices overlapped, making Zhou Yi feel that his consciousness was about to be chaotic for a while, so he quickly took it off.

"Finally, good things have been born in this world!"

Stream Tracer was very interested, "Big Zhou, this material can support consciousness connection! Its application range is very wide, from first-level civilization to second and third-level advanced civilizations, it is of great use."

"Because the operation and transmission of consciousness is not as intuitive and traceable as energy. If energy is an objectively existing flow, a pure movement, then consciousness is the result of constantly colliding and randomly moving trajectories."

"As long as it is deeply developed, it can be of great use."

"It can be used as a medium for consciousness transmission, similar to the blood vessels of consciousness, or external brain nerves, to create external consciousness circulation - even if the body that originally supports consciousness is damaged, it can be used to replace and repair it."

"Store the memory in it to form a closed loop. As long as this line is not broken, you can read it at any time even if you forget it. This is of great use to pure consciousness bodies like conceptual life."

"It can also be like the Radish Monster, connect with external consciousness, and obtain valuable information by screening those external consciousness fragments."

"Most importantly."

Xiao Fu paused, "This thing is of great benefit to our treasure hunt. It can be used as a diagnostic tool for us to find those treasure coordinates, and can confirm whether there is anything inside and what consciousness feedback there is."

"Guards will have conscious movement, treasures will also have it, and the space will also have conscious fragments left by past visitors."

"This thing is considered a high-quality resource anywhere!"

Zhou Yi was a little stunned to hear it.

Unexpectedly, this unremarkable radish tendon actually received unanimous affirmation from Stream Tracer and Rock Core Clan.

He suddenly remembered.

The Radish Monster said with certainty at the beginning.

"The tendons of giant radishes are the raw materials for transforming the world..."

It's really not just talking nonsense.
