Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 189 I'm fighting monsters!
The invention of the desperate machine was based on a simple reason and a bit of luck.

But Wang Tai's experience made Zhou Yi realize that the difficulties of the new humans were not only the result of the special natural environment, but also because this group itself was considered an inferior class in every city.

As long as the new humans cannot match the productivity of the Light Nano species, they will only be cheap labor and become population figures in the eyes of the sea lords.

To fundamentally change the status of the new humans in the wasteland era, they must be allowed to stand up on their own and demonstrate value and abilities that are no less than those of the Light Na species.

It takes time.

However, in the wasteland development company, Qin Mo and Qin Shu, father and son, who invented the emerald soup, and Wang Tai, who made the death machine, have set a good example.

Zhou Yi also discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Neither Qin Mo and his son nor Wang Tai started to enjoy life after receiving the large bonus.

They devoted themselves more seriously to their respective careers.

What keeps them going is no longer solving the problem of food and clothing, but their identity and sense of honor as inventors.

This is enough to show that the environment and positive incentives have a strong motivating effect on new humans.

Hong Jian commented: "The most special thing about humans is that they have imagination. They imagine the future and themselves and live in their own imagination. This imagination will magnify their situation. When they are in trouble, they will be more panicked, and when they are in good times, they will be particularly optimistic."

"The inability to accurately position themselves also makes them full of vacillation and easily unbalanced, so the sea lords usually use unpredictable fear to rule them."

"You got this point right. You let them use their imagination to magnify themselves, and gave them a greater sense of responsibility and purpose. You let them become the giants in their own imaginations. Inventors will hold themselves to the standards of giants."

Zhou Yi said: "I don't think so much. It's just that as a human being, I know what people need."

“Practical and effective.”

The drone gave a rare compliment, and then said, "Da Vinci's enhancement of the weapon master has been completed. The observation period has passed, and the patient is in good condition. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"Go and see."

……

Zhou Yi came to Maria Hospital and found a weapon master talking to Da Vinci, constantly hitting his own shell with his claws.

The mechatronic doctor also responded by tapping its shell lightly with his robotic arm.

Zhou Yi recognized it immediately using his consciousness.

It’s Xie Fei from the scavenging team.

"Hello, Chairman."

Xie Fei turned around hurriedly: "I forgot to bring the translator's transceiver this time, luckily the doctor understands our language."

Zhou Yi asked it what happened.

"Is such that."

Xie Fei said: "I forgot that the previous medicine was used up, so I came to get some inhibitors, although there was no problem...but the captain insisted that I come back first. I am very fast now, so I ran all the way back."

Zhou Yi immediately realized: "What you implanted is "propulsion"? "

"Yes, Chairman."

Xie Fei said proudly: "Now I am the fastest in the scavenging team. Usually I am responsible for reconnaissance and sending messages back and forth."

Da Vinci also said: "The light print transformation inside the chest armor of Xie Fei's head was very successful. To ensure safety and stability, I purchased an E-5-level light print for implantation and transformation surgery, and used this structure to cover the unformed light organ."

"Unlike humans, their bodies are stronger and more stable, and they fit in well with the light nano-organs. The drawback is that after targeted modification, the development of their existing structures will be suppressed by the implanted light imprint. Unless this light imprint is removed, they will not develop again."

Zhou Yi understood.

This is equivalent to an artificial enhancement to replace the existing light-nano organs that have not yet fully developed.

“I feel good.”

Xie Fei said, "Speed comes with propulsion. I need speed, and so do the scavenging teams. Although it is an enhanced body, as long as it continues to grow, it will be the same as an ordinary light organ. It just needs to take medicine, nothing else is different."

It was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a well-thought-out decision.

Da Vinci said: "From a doctor's perspective, I do not recommend this type of transformation for healthy individuals. But if there is a strong personal desire and I am aware of the possible risks, I will not refuse this operation."

"But if the light organ is severely damaged or has strong side effects, using this surgery to reshape and repair it would be an option."

The augmentation surgery performed on the Weapon Master was a success in itself.

But this direction will take a long time to verify.

Zhou Yi asked about Xie Fei's condition and learned that it was not unwell, so he felt relieved.

"Is the scavenging team doing well lately?"

As a result, this casual remark left Xie Fei somewhat at a loss for words.

Zhou Yi's eyes sharpened.

"Tell me, what's going on."

"Chairman...um..."

The weapon master shuddered a little: "We encountered some trouble when we were excavating the seabed south of the far end of Xiaoshan Town. Xie Gong disappeared."

Not long ago, the scavenging team passed through Xiaoshan Town and further carried out underwater development in the Chongqing area.

They dug a big hole and found that there were many passages and various types of vehicles underneath.

But the food and drinks were gone.

The scavenging team quickly identified a local creature and confirmed that it was it that was digging holes everywhere and carrying away food and drink.

"This is it."

Xie Fei stretched out his claws and took something out of his shell.

This thing looked like a piece of coal, the size of a fist, and was quite inconspicuous. The weapon master tapped it with his claws, and the coal shook, and four pointed legs and a sharp short tail emerged from underneath.

Zhou Yi took the creature and looked at it, and found that its structure was somewhat like a snail or shellfish. The shell was just camouflage and protection, and the flesh and blood was inside.

The thing's head was completely hidden in its shell, and it was just waving its claws, trying to escape.

"I also want to consult Dr. Da Vinci here. I want to know what this thing is and whether it is harmful."

Xie Fei said: "I don't know if it has anything to do with Xie Gong's disappearance."

"Coalworm."

The mechanical and electrical doctor made a quick assessment: "This is a subterranean creature that lives at the bottom of the Dead Sea. It has no toxins and attack capabilities. It lives deep underground and sleeps for years in a nearly stone-like form, making it difficult to identify."

Zhou Yi was a little curious.

I have been in the seabed for many years, but I have never noticed such a little thing.

Maybe you have seen it and probably mistook it for a stone.

Xie Fei was a little disappointed: "It seems that it is not their fault. These things have no offensive power. They can only run around and dig holes with their claws. They are not harmful to us."

Zhou Yi thought, since he was free now, he said, "Take me to your excavation site."

"Yes, Chairman."

……

After arriving at the destination on the Poseidon, Zhou Yi looked around.

This is a passenger station, and the dust buried many buses.

The hole where Xie Gong lost contact was a sewer. The iron manhole cover had disappeared, and the sewer was very dry, with air flowing, as if it was connected to another place.

Captain Xie Xun said: "Mr. Xie found that the coal beetles were all running towards here. He suspected that it was their base camp, so he went down to check. There was a safety rope tied to it, but after entering, the rope broke for some reason."

It grabbed a broken climbing rope nearby: "It looks like it was cut all at once, so I suspect it was attacked by something."

Zhou Yi looked down into the sewer, which was pitch black.

He tried to synchronize his consciousness, but found that he could find Xie Gong's consciousness.

It's still alive.

"Where are you?"

"Chairman, you are here! I am fighting monsters!"

what?
Zhou Yi had a face full of question marks.

"What's weird?"

"Bone fish, there are a lot of bone fish here. They suddenly attacked me and made me lose my direction. Later I found that they could not break my armor and shield at all, so I cleaned them up one by one."

"Hey, wait a minute, I'll finish him off, this guy is very tenacious!"

A few seconds later.

"Fortunately, I'm more skilled than him... Phew, I was almost injured by it."

"Stay where you are, I'll come find you."

Zhou Yi entered the sewer.

Based on the synchronization of consciousness, he found where Xie Gong was.

There were broken bones everywhere, and at least dozens of bone fish were crushed to pieces. The weapon master Xie Gong was wearing a straw raincoat armor, holding a large shield with armor in one claw and a long-handled nail hammer in the other.

The one that fell in front of it was a C-level lifeform long-necked crocodile with a smashed head. The long-necked crocodile had a strange silk thread wrapped around its body, creating a misty effect, and its body was in a strange suspended state.

"Chairman, you are here."

Xie Gong said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, I have implanted the light seal "blunt attack" this time, and I still have the armor, so this guy can't bite me to death. It can also fly, which is very difficult to deal with. I hit it, but it was a bit overwhelmed... At first, I was ambushed by it and almost thought I was dead."

Zhou Yi was a little amused.

Everyone was worried that you would die in there, but you ended up clearing the dungeon alone?

However, this is the first time I have seen a flying long-necked crocodile.

There were a large number of coal beetles everywhere, piled up and hiding in the corners.

Xie Gong carried the mace and said, "This long-necked crocodile controls the bone fish and these bugs. It runs an underground city here."

"But the food was thrown behind to feed the pets."

It raised its paw and pointed forward.

On the wall behind the corpse of the long-necked crocodile, there was a strange big fish tank with a fat white worm in it. It was wolfing down the rice grains and flour in the fish tank.

Zhou Yi looked at the bug.

From the [Alert] perspective, it was surrounded by white light, and was obviously a light-absorbing species.

The Red Kestrel scanned it: "Unknown species, no relevant information in the database."

Zhou Yi suddenly noticed that there were some silk threads floating on the fish tank of the insect. They were the silk threads spit out by the insect. He touched them with his hand and found that the silk threads actually lifted him up into the air.

The long-necked crocodile's ability to fly comes from the silk produced by this silkworm.

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed.

This material, which has its own flying properties, is of great value.
