Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 182 The Fourth Type of City

Zhou Yi discovered a problem.

As the company's business continues to expand, the content he manages has become more and more.

Externally, there is the patent sharing of the Sage Mushroom, the Emerald Soup and Explosive Mushroom jointly held with Coral Mouth, the long-term trade orders of the United City, and the internal circulation of the entire Development Alliance.

There are express delivery centers, mushroom forest sediment belts, soot sand collection at the soot dam, farmland cultivation, breeding platforms, new food processing, and various inventories of underwater human heritage...

Each industry has been further segmented.

After careful consideration, Zhou Yi adjusted the company structure and created two new departments.

Farmland, breeding platforms, and food industries were merged into the Ministry of Agriculture, with agricultural consultant Zheng Tao as minister.

All external liaison and cooperation affairs belong to the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and Hong Shun serves as the Minister of Foreign Trade.

The mushroom forest and gerbil colonies still operate independently.

In order to facilitate the transmission of information within the company, Zhou Yi also sent Red Falcon to buy a batch of enhanced controllers, which are also portable computers in the wasteland era.

They are made entirely of light printing and look like a small metal suitcase. When opened, it reveals a strange display made of glass and special sand.

Sand is used as the basis of pixel blocks to form various texts and images, all of which are unfolded in the glass in the form of sand painting. Although the resolution is only 640x480, basic recognition is no problem. This optical printing controller can store text, images and sounds, and transmit data between each other.

Its operation relies on multiple electromechanical and optical functions such as "write", "store" and "read" installed inside.

Depending on the configuration accuracy, the price of each enhanced controller ranges from 50 to 200 light seeds.

In addition to the box-type terminal, you also need to purchase at least one transmission post with a "transmission" optical print as a supporting device to replace the role of the stacker to complete the transmission between controllers.

The price of a transmission pile is 50 light sources, but its coverage range is only 500 meters.

It would be too expensive to cover the entire Shagang area with this set of equipment.

Therefore, the enhanced controller can only be used as an electronic notebook, and information can only be transmitted when returning to the company.

All we can say is that it will take time for Yin Guang Shu to develop independently.

This type of optical printing processor is mostly used for logistics statistics by large organizations such as the Knights Templar, Alchemists' Guilds, and Craftsmen's Guilds. Due to its relatively high price, it is still not widely used.

Although many aspects of the functionality need to be improved, it can be considered a preliminary paperless office upgrade, and the employees were overjoyed with the controllers they received this time.

Zheng Tao was particularly happy. He swiped his fingers on the glass tablet and said, "The statistics in the agricultural field are very complicated. Although there are agricultural machinery brothers who can help, it is not good to ask them all the time. Now with the processor, the planning, seedling cultivation, fertilizer, labor and other figures of each planting season can be recorded and calculated."

"After the final streamlining, agricultural output will be clear at a glance."

The captain of the scavenging team, Xie Xun, opened the box and looked at the image formed by the sand and gravel on the screen. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a powerful tool! I will definitely put claws on it so that it won't scratch the glass. Now we know how much we have found."

Sun Chonglai also said: "With this, I can record the information of every black hand mushroom. Chairman, you don't know that among this batch of children, two have changed a lot. I have been paying attention to this matter recently."

The skeleton called the two black mushrooms over.

But Zhou Yi didn't find any difference between them. They were all short and small, with facial features that looked like they were painted on.

"Where's the big change?"

"Here, here."

The skeleton pointed at the caps of two black hand mushrooms.

Zhou Yi then noticed that some fluff had grown on their conical mushroom caps, making them look like woolen hats.

“Is this a seasonal effect?”

"No, absolutely not, it has never happened before!"

Sun Chonglai gestured with his arms excitedly: "They are growing and changing further. These two children were the first to go to work on the breeding platform. Because it is close to the Dead Sea, they were a little scared at first, but they gradually adapted to it."

"They said before that their heads felt itchy, and then these hairs grew. They were affected by the Dead Sea environment. We don't know what they will look like next, but I think their bodies are adapting to the high concentration of dead light in the Dead Sea."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized: "That is indeed good news, you should pay close attention to them."

He suddenly thought.

"Would you like to try taking in a large amount of light seeds?"

Maybe there will be a transformation like the rocket fish.

Sun Chonglai hastily refused: "Chairman, please don't do this to them. If the black hand mushrooms need light to grow, they will tell you. These children are originally very timid. Please give them some time to grow and let them grow up slowly and healthily."

Zhou Yi nodded: "My, I was a little too hasty, I'll do as you say."

"Please wait for our good news."

……

The Red Kestrel suddenly made a broadcast.

"The latest news is that United City has officially passed the assessment and has been recognized as a Class A city by the Mechanical and Electrical City."

"The [Alien City] classification applied by the United City has also been officially approved. It is the fourth type of city form after [Mechatronic City], [Human City] and [Light Nano City].

Zhou Yi knew that United City would definitely rise, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

It received an A rating in just a few months. Behind this credit rating is the willingness of the Mechanical and Electrical City to provide them with high-value loans and to be optimistic about their broad prospects and leading position in the future.

But Zhou Yi had never expected the category of alien cities.

The United City is not only about becoming bigger and stronger, but also about creating a whole new standard of social form.

Zhou Yi said: "I know about electromechanical cities and human cities, but what about light nano cities?"

"It is a city where the Light Na species are the core productive force, but there are very few of them. The main residents and productive forces of the Light Na city are the three tribes of octopus, bone man and mountain dog."

"Octopuses are great brain workers, and cities are very happy to welcome them," Kestrel explained.

"Although the Skeletons are nomadic immigrants, they are fragile and rely heavily on making and using tools, as well as engaging in various small trades."

"Mountain dogs are born to live in groups. They can survive in all kinds of harsh environments. They are hardworking and tenacious, and they have a good internal order. They are also a rare species of light that are born with strong cooperative abilities. Although their individual abilities are not strong, and their combat and brainpower are not excellent, they can play the advantages of the group when living together in the city."

Zhou Yi immediately thought of the dog-headed man.

He described its image.

"From the way he looks and behaves, he is undoubtedly a mountain dog."

The drone confirmed this.

“The criteria defined by Union City are as follows.”

"An alien city is a city where building life represents the core productivity. It needs at least 5 building lives to maintain and expand the city, and at least 3 permanent residents."

Union City is the standard for itself.

Zhou Yi slid his finger across the screen and searched for this term on the Recursive City page.

On the circular map of the United City, the first part is [Service Cooperation], which accounts for 51%, the second part is [Construction], which accounts for 30.6%, and the last part is [Environment], which accounts for 18.4%.

Zhou Yi clicked on the service cooperation rated A and found that the core was [Prison Reform].

The main cooperation between the Mechanical and Electrical City and this side is in Meizhou Prison. They send some criminals here for detention, including both mechanical and electrical lives and flesh and blood lives. It is a centralized prison recognized by all cities.

From this point of view, Union City is a service-oriented city, mainly responsible for detaining and reforming criminals from all over the country.

[Construction] The industry rating is also A because five architectural lives, including Meizhou Prison and Happy Valley, have been recognized by the city's functions and occupy all the proportions.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask: "Logically speaking, our company also has four major construction life forms, isn't there any improvement?"

"The company's credit rating has just been updated and officially upgraded to B+."

Zhou Yi checked it out immediately.

It really is.

On the circular chart of the Wasteland Development Company, there is a new item [Construction], which is rated B+ and is also supported by Emerald City, Maria Hospital, Yalong Bay and Leshan Giant Buddha.

Because of the addition of this project, the overall credit rating was finally improved by half a level.

"Zhou, this time the classification of alien cities has been officially established, and it is no longer limited to the form of the city itself."

"Kunming Station has issued the Declaration of Independence of Architectural Life through various electromechanical cities, and is committed to liberating architectural life that has been treated as a slave."

"The United City has been joined by more than 33 electromechanical cities, and will work together to free architectural life from slavery and rescue them through various means, so that architectural life can exert its true power and value to defend and promote world order."

“Kunming Station has already sent letters to major cities, offering to provide financial compensation in exchange for the freedom of local architectural life and send them to the United City.”

Zhou Yi was secretly surprised.

The big moves in United City are one after another.

The alien city was established, gained independent voice, reached long-term strategic cooperation with the mechanical and electrical cities, became the 404 city on the ground, and then began to work on liberating the life of buildings.

They had obviously been long planned.

Only after confirming that the time was ripe did the Kunming Station officially begin to move forward.

Zhou Yi felt strange again for a moment: "Why is the Mechanical and Electrical City willing to help them? This kind of thing will definitely cause conflicts with the territorial sea owners of various places. With the Mechanical and Electrical City maintaining a neutral attitude, why would it wade into this muddy water?"

According to the tendency of electromechanical life, they lack spontaneous motivation for reform, and stability is the core of their pursuit.

Hong Jian said: "What can be found publicly at present is that the United City is actively introducing electromechanical life. They are building a new city with architectural life as the basic structure and manager, electromechanical life as the provider of professional services, and humans and light species as the main body of labor creation."

“The self-repair and long life of buildings, the expansion of the professional capabilities of electromechanical life, and the vitality and innovation that humans provide will combine to form a new urban model.”

"Many mechanical and electrical cities are supporting this pilot project because they want to join this new wave of reform. As long as the price is right, the sea owners who hold the life of the building will not refuse to release the transaction. For them, it is just a business."

Zhou Yi touched his chin.

He originally wanted to try this direction, but United City started operations right away.

On the positive side, the systemic pressures and risks faced by this kind of urban reform are also borne by the United City.

You can cross the river by feeling them.

Not bad.
