Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 181: Made a small contribution to mankind
Zhou Yi and Xiaofu shared this heavenly experience.

"Three-color gem structure, flowing basic units, spherical suspension... I have never seen such a race."

The upstreamer said: "But judging from their living space, they should be a highly independent and advanced life form."

"Generally speaking, when a certain life develops to a certain extent, it will either aggregate or disperse."

"The first direction is that individuals converge in large numbers, the degree of integration and union becomes higher and higher, and groups continue to integrate and deeply unite, eventually forming a civilization system with high-speed information flow. They continue to expand by relying on the growth of the number of individuals, and move from quantitative change to qualitative change."

"The second direction is that individuals become highly free and scattered. Different individuals of the same type of life keep their distance and may not even communicate at all."

"These two directions have their own advantages and disadvantages. In reality, it is not an either-or situation. It just depends on which direction you are more inclined to. For example, we upstreamers are closer to scattered sand, while humans in this world tend to be concentrated."

"The Celestial Being should be similar to the Stream Tracer."

"Otherwise, if they are in the same space, with their conscious information processing capabilities, they can interact with each other at any time. It seems more like they are used to keeping a distance from each other and living alone."

"But after entering this world, their own kind are more reliable, so they will exchange information and cooperate to a certain extent."

This is consistent with Zhou Yi's feelings.

The celestial beings in the form of the gem world seem to have no interaction at all, at least in their own bodies they are each a private space.

Only when they enter the wasteland world will they engage in conversation and group collaboration like the one they did when attacking Suneo.

"Eh? Since the Celestial Being's body is available..."

Xiaofu made a suggestion: "Should we get its body?"

Zhou Yi was stunned: "Do you have a solution?"

"The Circular Flow Technology System of the Stream Tracer is used to collect fire seeds. It not only includes the accumulation of consciousness information, but also high-quality hostless bodies."

The stream follower said excitedly: "The celestial beings appear to be high-quality advanced life forms."

"How can this be done?"

Zhou Yi expressed his doubts: "The celestial being's body is in a place that can be touched, and the circular light instrument can be used, but the place where it is does not look like this world. I can only enter the celestial being's body through the gemstone channel."

"As long as we create a [Fire Transmission Device], we can do it."

Xiaofu said: "In simple terms, the function of this circular flow device is to transform our own memory core. Once we enter the target machine, we will ignite the fire transmitter and connect with it completely. After the fire transmission is completed, we can use the consciousness of that machine at any time."

"It's just that the fire transmission device is very expensive to manufacture, and it is a one-time consumable. Once the fire transmission is completed, it will be completely consumed."

"I used this method to start the Poseidon before."

There is actually such a thing.

Zhou Yi immediately asked: "How much light seeds are consumed?"

"To make a fire transmitter, it would take 30000 light seeds."

He pondered in his mind.

If it can be done, it will be worth it.

“How long will it take to build?”

"This is pretty fast. It's very efficient to build it using the consciousness key."

"Then make one now."

"Now? Okay."

……

Zhou Yi immersed himself in his own memory core.

On the outer track, the shadow-like person following the current said, "Now you follow my steps."

"First, we'll remove the three consciousness keys, one white and two black. You need your consent before I can remove them. This may make you a little dizzy, but it's normal."

Xiaofu pulled up two stone-like consciousness keys from under his feet, built them into a three-dimensional coordinate system, and connected them to the outer track.

"Da Zhou, make one over there too, but it should be the opposite of mine. You need three consciousness keys, one black and two white, connected to the edge of the inner track. You need to connect it to mine with the same consciousness key."

Zhou Yi did as he was told and completed the process.

Between the two coordinate systems, all the consciousness keys connecting them changed from horizontal to vertical, moving up and down in this coordinate system, forming a three-dimensional function graph with constantly changing peaks and troughs.

"This is the fire axis. It is the output of consciousness information constructed with the consciousness key. It is the basis of the fire transmitter. The peak means that your consciousness information is large, which means you are thinking and calculating. The trough means that you are in the observation stage and have not yet processed and converted the external information you have obtained."

"What we want now is to mass-produce this thing and assemble a fire transmitter using 223 fire shafts."

Under Xiaofu's guidance and leadership, Zhou Yi also became busy.

The entire project was huge, and in the end, every time he moved the consciousness key, it became very strenuous. Even the upstreamers on the opposite side had to take frequent breaks, and their voices were full of fatigue.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, for the sake of advanced life forms, let's work harder."

When it comes to collecting things, Suneo has a strong sense of belief.

The two were so busy that they ended up not talking to each other. They used the little time they had to rest and avoid mental overload.

I don't know how long I was busy, but a total of 223 fire axes were finally built.

"Huh, huh, now we only have one last step left."

"ignition."

Xiaofu slowed down and said, "Put 3 light seeds in here and it will open."

"It doesn't consume energy normally. Only the fire transmission consumes this energy. They will circulate here and have almost no loss."

Zhou Yi withdrew to the outside world, holding the light box in his hand.

A large amount of light seeds are converted into energy.

The black and white consciousness began to rise and fall at an accelerated speed, like a huge wave composed of pillars. They glowed every time they rose and extinguished when they fell.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of the movable type printing performance at the 08 Olympics.

A large number of light spots alternately rise and fall in brightness and darkness, weaving a rising bonfire.

"This is the [Fire Transmitter]."

The Stream Tracer was relieved: "With this, next time you project your consciousness there, you can directly enter the memory core of that machine."

"Then you can pass on the fire." "Don't think it's troublesome. This is a good method that has been confirmed by the tracers through practice. It is stable and reliable, but it requires a little patience when making it."

Zhou Yi nodded: "I understand, thank you."

Xiaofu was stunned for a moment: "This is the first time you are so polite to me."

"Because you really helped."

"I am you, helping you is helping me."

The Stream Traverser said, "But I thought that your group of higher beings had a strong desire for domination and conquest, but it seems that is not the case."

"What race are you? What are your hobbies? What do you hate? Do you have any ultimate goals, or enemies, principles, etc...."

Zhou Yi directly shut down Unit 2.

Xiaofu is fine in other aspects, except that he talks too much sometimes.

The issue is.

You ask me, who do I ask?
Zhou Yi knew basically nothing about Bai Suanni, so he just treated it as a family heirloom.

……

The next few days were calm.

The melons in the farmland were picked one after another and became summer benefits for the employees, or sent to Shagang City for sale or transportation.

In this summer when the temperature continues to rise, the people of Emerald City are enjoying the cool air in the buildings or under the dam, eating melons and chatting. Their lives are more comfortable than ever before.

The agricultural machinery brothers also returned safely.

Tie Ma gave Zhou Yi a detailed report.

"Chairman, Tongniu and I went to the Agricultural Market to check out the wheat seeds on the market there."

"We brought soil, water and other samples here, and had them tested and matched by agricultural machinery experts there to select the most suitable seeds for us. Then we also need to learn some specific breeding, because new seeds are constantly being born, and our agricultural machinery also has to constantly update knowledge and technology."

"Then I learned in Nongwu City that our [Emerald Jade Soup] was a huge success. It was even featured in the news in Nongwu City! Nongwu City has also become one of the agent cities for Emerald Jade Soup! The locals have given high praise to this food of ours, which is great!"

Zhou Yixin said that it was because Coral's mouth exerted a lot of force.

In order to be rated as an A-level city, this wealthy port has spared no effort in promoting and advertising the Jade Soup.

Tie Ma added, "We have already brought back all the wheat seeds. These are seeds that are very suitable for our environment. After the summer break, we can plant wheat on the 2000 mu of land that was previously used to plant peanuts and sweet potatoes, and plant beans on the 500 mu of melon land. This crop rotation can balance the nutrients in the soil and help increase income."

Zhou Yi told it about the War of Honor.

Tie Ma asked, "Then shall we still grow wheat?"

"Of course. I'm just telling you about the current environment. Don't worry about anything else."

"I'm not worried. I don't know anything about other fields anyway. Let's just farm!"

……

Zhou Yi contacted Jin Yi in Coral Mouth through Hong Xuan and asked about the production and sales progress of Jade Soup.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhou, everything is going well at the moment."

"We made some improvements through the food factory and turned the jade soup into a more portable form."

A dynamic picture popped up on the tablet screen.

The new Jade Soup looks like a piece of wood, or a soda cracker.

"The new Emerald Soup has been dehydrated and pressed to become very compact. It will gradually expand when soaked in water. One slice can meet the basic food calories required for one person's meal, and it tastes better when cooked in hot water."

Jin Yi said, "After deciding on this model, we identified the first batch of 40 city agents, and the cost has also been reduced. The cost price of a cup of Jade Soup is less than 10 mushrooms, and the market price is set at 15 to 20 mushrooms, fluctuating according to the transportation cost."

Zhou Yi took a breath when he heard this.

This price is outrageous.

In a poor town like Shangu, local residents used to eat 70 mushrooms a day, or 20 to 30 mushrooms per meal. As soon as Shanhukou came on the scene, it drove down the price to the bottom, turning Feicuitang into an affordable instant noodle that even people in remote areas could afford, and anyone could buy it home to fill their stomachs.

Combined with their powerful long-distance freight system, they can quickly open up markets across the country and deliver Feicui Tang to thousands of households.

I can only say that Coral Mouth wants to make progress too much.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask, "Will you really not lose out this way?"

“There will be no loss, otherwise it will not pass the final review of the program department.”

"The low-price strategy is also rewarding, even though the profit itself is low," Jin Yi said.

"Currently, our first month sales volume is 4 million pieces, with a total profit of 402 million yuan, and your company's share is 201 million yuan. However, as the scale continues to expand and the number of channels and audiences increases, this number will definitely increase."

"As a daily consumable, the two most important factors for food are price and taste. Feicui Tang has huge advantages in both of these aspects, and there is no competitor in the same price range."

"Besides, the cost of imitating us will be higher than ours. This is also the advantage of the Shanhukou centralized factory model."

"As for the explosive mushrooms, we have purchased two large sediment belts specifically for cultivating the Sand Harbor explosive mushrooms. As long as the mycelium is cut before they develop to a virulent level, they can be used as safe food."

"There are already many food experts who agree to improve our rating. As long as we continue to develop, Jade Soup will definitely become a phenomenal food! It will be of great significance to Coral Mouth!"

Zhou Yi had no doubt about it.

The cost of industrialized production is much lower than that of small workshops, and the output is also on a completely different order of magnitude.

After all, they are very rich and powerful, so they directly created two sedimentary zones to grow mushrooms.

The food industry is indeed not very profitable in the wasteland era. Even with Coral Mouth as a strategic project for promotion and distribution, the profits from large-scale shipments are very limited.

It is not difficult to understand why few people focus on investing and expanding this industry.

In fact, it is essentially because humans in the wasteland era are too poor and cannot afford expensive food. Most people have not yet solved the basic problem of fullness.

This time, Coral Mouth launched a powerful attack with Jade Soup, directly dominating the low-end daily food market.

Zhou Yi is still very optimistic about this.

The times will always develop, and the sea lords will promote human growth to obtain more labor, and the population will always increase slowly. The new generation can drink nutritious and delicious jade soup, which is always much better than chewing mushrooms before.

In this wasteland age, the company has made a small contribution to mankind.
