Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 129 New Goal
Zhou Yi stood on the metal deck of Zhanjiang Bay No. 1.

After washing and cleaning, the place is much cleaner and tidier, and all 12 breeding areas have been stocked with shellfish and bony fish fry.

The black hand mushrooms, shaped like children, are patrolling and working one by one.

Some of them were feeding grass, mushrooms and seaweed, some were cleaning the deck with shovels, brushes and linen, and some were working together to pull up the thick ropes sunk into the breeding area to check the growth of shells in each scallop cage.

The black hand mushrooms are all tied with safety ropes around their waists, fixed to the various locks and railings of the platform. This is also a safety protection technique adopted by Yuan Tong to prevent accidental falls into the Dead Sea while working.

There are also a few human breeders who came from Shell City and used to do this job.

The lower half of the aquaculture platform is soaked in the foggy Dead Sea and water flow, but the water in the square aquaculture area is very clear, the fog is dispersed, and the situation in the water can be seen at a glance. This is obviously a function that Zhanjiang Bay No. 1 has.

Zheng Tao, wearing a fisherman's hat and holding a thermos cup, said: "Everything is going smoothly here. The operation itself is not difficult. We just buy fish fry and shells from Shagang and put them here. The weapon masters went into the Dead Sea and helped us collect a lot of seaweed."

"The fry are cultivated using chicken bones, and the specific technology is completely mastered by Sha Haigong. These fry occasionally move, but the survival rate is not high. We use four breeding areas to raise fish and invest a large number of fry. So far, 17 bone fish have been raised in one month."

Zhou Yi was not surprised. If it was so easy to obtain a large number of bone fish, Baili Gong would have been rich enough to rival a country.

"It's already pretty good, take your time."

The shellfish farming area is at the bow near the helipad, while the fish farming area is at the stern.

There is no difference in appearance.

Zhou Yi looked into the well in the breeding area and saw several small bony creatures swimming in the water.

Compared to the wild bone fish I have seen, they look much smaller, but they are also quieter and do not like to burrow underground like wild bone fish.

Zhou Yi asked Zheng Tao: "If this place is not sealed or light-blocked, won't the bone fish jump out?"

"No, Chairman. You will see once you see it."

Zheng Tao grabbed a fishing rod with a thick fishing line on the shelf next to him, took out a white shell from the bucket on the deck, tied it to the fishing line as bait, and then threw it into the well in the breeding area.

A bony fish suddenly swam over from below and bit the shell.

Then Zheng Tao pulled it up easily and threw it into an empty bucket.

The bony fish, which looked only a little bigger than a palm, bit the shell and swallowed it bit by bit. Then it spit out the fishing line and lay in the bucket, basking in the sun without moving, looking unconcerned.

“This is what the bone fish raised on the platform look like.”

Zheng Tao smiled. "At first, Sun Chonglai and I were worried that they would be hard to manage, but after trying, we found that we were worrying too much. They grow up in the breeding platform from the time they are fry. They are not very aggressive. As long as you feed them bones and shells, they are very gentle and lazy."

"As long as you don't attack them repeatedly on purpose, they will be very obedient because they think there will be food."

Zhou Yi hissed in his heart.

The domestication of this bone fish was incredibly fast.

Zhanjiang Bay No. 1 has a huge impact.

"Don't be fooled by their appearance. They still have light seeds." Zheng Tao pointed at the fish in the bucket and said, "If necessary, we can collect the light seeds directly now."

Zhou Yi thought about it.

In the past, I started with wild bone fish, and obtained light seeds by leaving the head and removing the tail. But now it is different from the past. Zhanjiang Bay No. 1 can directly use fish fry and shells to raise bone fish, so the thinking also needs to be adjusted with the changes.

Zhou Yi said: "At present, we don't rely on the breeding platform to generate income. The shells are also used to grow bone fish. We are still focusing on exploring ways to increase bone fish production. Don't be stressed, take your time."

"Yes, Chairman."

Zheng Tao poured the bone fish from the bucket back to the breeding area and said, "In fact, this initial stage has been very smooth. Zhanjiang Bay No. 1 has its own basic breeding framework. All we have to do is explore and make better use of it."

"You had a long-term vision when you asked Emerald City to build the dam road. With this safe passage connecting Emerald City and Zhanjiang Bay No. 1, vehicles can pass through it, and people can walk inside the dam, avoiding wind, rain and danger."

"Now mushrooms from the mushroom forest and food from farmland can be transported through the dam."

Zhou Yi looked at the long dam next to him.

He was also quite satisfied with the project.

To get rich, build roads first.

In his time, this concept was basically deeply rooted in people's minds. In fact, it is true that convenient transportation can make the flow of people and goods efficient and fast.

So after Zhou Yi came back, he operated the Emerald City and further extended the Guangxu Dam from the west all the way along the Dead Sea coastline to the south.

This is the first road built by the Wasteland Development Company. It is 15.2 kilometers long and took 21 days to complete.

It was simple to make the building and pave the road. But it took time and effort to level the road surface. Zhou Yi and Feicuicheng repeatedly debugged and finally chose the method of paving the road with double-layered building bodies overlapping each other to ensure that the road surface was stable enough.

The key is to be able to pass the traffic. Zhou Yi had previously seized three disassembled electromechanical thug cars. Under the guidance of Hongshun, Yuan Tong asked Qian Su to help repair them. He successfully repaired two of them, but the last one was shelved because it was too severely damaged and needed a major overhaul.

They return to their most primitive tool state, only possessing a light-printing structure that can absorb nature's dead light.

Both cars have their own starting methods.

In one of the cars, pressing the brakes starts the acceleration, while pressing the accelerator brakes, which is a rebellious move.

The other was a little more complicated, requiring a few frantic turns of the steering wheel to activate it, like some kind of hand-cranked engine.

They were equipped with trailers, so they could transport goods and pick up workers, becoming the company's first two shuttle buses. Both are currently operating well.

Zhou Yi and Zheng Tao continued to talk about fish farming when a bus slowly stopped at the platform outside.

With the help of Mayor Chen Jiadong, Sha Haigong, wearing a cloak, staggered out of the carriage, looking a little out of breath.

The Kestrel had already located them.

Zhou Yi also went over to receive him politely and said, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, you should rest more. I will talk to you when I come back if you have anything else. There is no need to travel so far."

"It's okay, it's okay. I've been lying down for a month, it's time to move around."

Mr. Shahai wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

This duke of the sand sea stood up like a big upright seal, with a shiny black nose and long whiskers. It was about two meters tall, with smooth brown and white skin, thick upper limbs, broad and powerful claws, and walked with great momentum.

"After I woke up, I learned that Lord Baili was dead?"

Zhou Yi nodded.

"Then I feel relieved, thanks to you." Lord Shahai said with a smile.

Zhou Yi also got some relevant information about the lord of the sea from Zheng Tao and Hong Shun.

Generally speaking, the lord of the sea will play the role of an absolute power, hiding behind the scenes of the city and implementing his will through the mayor or consul.

The Lord of the Sea of Sand took a different approach. He took the initiative to step forward and regularly visited Shagang City to inspect and comfort people, such as ordering the distribution of food to hungry humans, or upholding justice and punishing crimes for those who had been wronged... Of course, these were mainly for show to enhance his prestige and support rate.

Originally, the lord of the sea did not have to do this, but Lord Sand Sea has been tirelessly cultivating his own people-friendly image, and has already won over many of his peers.

Therefore, the reputation of this sea lord has always been very good among the residents of Shagang. Before the Emerald City appeared, people here wanted desperately to work and live in Shagang City.

Zhou Yi said: "Actually, I also have something I want to discuss with you."

"Please speak." Lord Sha Hai looked cautious.

Zhou Yi pointed to the dam and said, "As you can see, a coastal highway has been built from Emerald City to the aquaculture platform. I plan to expand it further and extend this road along the Dead Sea all the way to the port outside Shagang City. It will be named Emerald Avenue."

"In this way, residents living in Shagang City can come to our company to work, and residents of Emerald City can also go to Shagang for consumption. It will also be easy for us to purchase fish fry from Shagang and export our food to Shagang, and trade between the two sides will become fast and convenient."

"how do you feel?"

The governor of Shagang was stunned for a moment, then immediately rubbed his hands and said, "I think it's great. This is good for Shagang and not harmful. It's what we want."

Zhou Yi smiled and extended his hand: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Shagang Gong also raised his paw.

The two sides shook hands.

The details will be discussed and coordinated by Zheng Tao and Chen Guodong.

Zhou Yi asked again: "You said before that you knew the location of a Dead Sea alien?"

Lord Shagang nodded: "That's absolutely true. I've been there once, but that place is very dangerous. I don't have the confidence to get too close. If it were Mr. Zhou, maybe he would have a chance to subdue it."

"Oh? It's dangerous?"

"Danger."

Zhou Yi asked: "How far is it from here?"

"Not far."

The Lord of Shagang whispered, "It's just outside of Shagang City."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

This place actually hides a life of architecture.
