Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 196 Overdevelopment
Zhou Yi observed carefully.

The dog-headed man's eyes flew out of his body, chasing each other, but it seemed to have no effect on it.

It showed no physical discomfort, and its eyes did not attack the main body. The kobold looked more anxious, like a child playing in the yard who refused to go home for dinner.

Life is safe.

Zhou Yi felt a little relieved.

There is a more important action this time.

Pass the fire.

Zhou Yi activated the fire transmission device in the memory core.

It was like there was a pump connecting myself to the sea of ​​gems.

Zhou Yi suddenly discovered that the gem world suddenly became bright.

The flow of gemstones constitutes the movement of this life form.

White gemstone has the strongest plasticity. It can be transformed into sapphire and black gemstone, and can also be used as a tool to transform other gemstones or life forms.

Sapphires store energy; they are constantly absorbing energy from the outside world and storing it.

Black gemstones are the carriers of consciousness, responsible for information recording, storage and output, and are closely related to the consciousness key. They transmit information quickly internally, but if they want to transmit information externally across the body, the consumption is very huge - this is also the key to the fact that gemstone lives rarely contact each other, and the cost is high.

These three can transform into each other.

As white sapphires absorb energy, they gradually turn into sapphires.

After the sapphire is fully loaded with energy, it can be transformed into black gemstone through movement, contact and interaction with a large number of gemstones.

Black gemstones are used as carriers of consciousness to record and output information. They have usage limits and will be restored to white gemstone form during consumption.

Only now did Zhou Yi realize that the celestial body he controlled was already in a state of decay and collapse.

A large number of white gems are loosening and breaking away from the body.

The number of sapphires continues to decrease, and the slow absorption of energy leads to expenditure exceeding income.

The black gems are also used one less each time.

"It's already in a state of death."

Suneo commented: "It will weaken faster and faster in the future. Unless we can obtain more sapphires and obtain external energy to maintain the metabolism of this body."

It was pitch black outside, with only a very slight energy response.

There is a blue glowing band in the distant direction.

Energy propagates outward from the luminous band, being consumed rapidly as it flows, and becoming less and less as the distance increases.

Theoretically, as long as you are close to blue light, there will be enough energy to absorb.

Suneo suggested: "Burn those sapphires and head towards the blue energy belt, but there are also great risks. This machine may be shattered along the way because the distance may be very far."

"If we stay where we are, we can last longer, but we never know when we will collapse faster."

While considering the decision, Zhou Yi suddenly noticed.

There were other gem creatures around, some of which were small in size like himself.

In other words, those who come to this energy-deficient area are most likely dead celestial beings.

It would be better to reuse these corpses while the energy is still there. Theoretically, there are still some sapphires left in the corpses, otherwise they should have been broken and scattered.

Anyway, they have all lost consciousness.

The upstreamer was stunned: "This is a completely new idea."

Zhou Yi’s first target was an individual smaller than himself not far away.

The other party was all white, with a dim light, and was doing some kind of rotation.

Zhou Yi activated a large number of sapphires and controlled his body to move towards the other party.

The two seemed not far away, but he burned up 400 sapphires before he could achieve close contact with it.

He manipulated his body, captured the smaller gem lifeform corpse, and gradually docked and merged with it.

The internal movements of the two sides were completely different, and a large number of gems collided and rolled, causing many white gems to peel off and break.

However, gradually, the two parties completed the integration.

Zhou Yi sorted it out slowly.

He obtained 7000 sapphires from the broken body, which showed that this plan was completely feasible and the body's energy was greatly replenished.

The life light of the gem controlled by Zhou Yi became slightly brighter, but this fusion also doubled the size of the body.

Zhou Yi considered again, in order to reduce the burden, should he directly dismantle and separate some of the white gems?

By saving money and increasing revenue, losing weight may reduce energy consumption.

Xiaofu advised, "The basic units that make up life also require a lot of energy to grow. If there is no urgency at the moment, I suggest you keep as much as possible."

Zhou Yi finally chose to listen to the advice.

After the size increased, although the white gems were slowly peeling off, the number did not increase too much, so overall it was considered a successful life extension.

Strategy achieved.

As for the other gem life forms around, they were all similar in size to Zhou Yi or even larger.

He decided to play it safe.

Let’s first look at the situation of the kobolds.

……

Inside the white gem chamber, the dog-headed man had given up the chase and sat against the wall with its head lowered.

Zhou Yi could sense that it was resting, even snoring.

Two red eyeballs were still hovering above its head.

"It's okay. It's just overdevelopment, which makes the individual active." The stream tracer said: "Under normal circumstances, life growth is relatively balanced. The limbs and internal organs will grow and become stronger at the same speed, maintaining stable connections and interactions."

"The visual organ of this low-life has overdeveloped and has a certain degree of independent movement ability. Therefore, it is difficult to be restrained and connected by other enhanced body organs that have delayed development, resulting in an imbalance."

"But they can't stay away from the main body for long and will return to the eye socket."

Zhou Yi inserted a black gem into the dog-headed man's head.

The other party's body suddenly stiffened.

"God! You are here!"

The dog-headed man immediately showed excitement and complained: "My eyes flew out, they are completely out of control, I didn't expect this to happen..."

All the sapphires Zhou Yi gave to the dog-headed man were absorbed by its eyes. Because the dog-headed man likes to release the light from his eyes, he strengthened them all.

The strength has indeed increased greatly.

This pair of dog eyes began to have ideas of their own... and no longer listened to instructions or orders.

At first the eyes continued to emit light for unknown reasons, then they began to spin around, making the kobolds dizzy. Finally they flew out of their sockets and began to move freely and unrestrainedly.

The kobolds had no way to catch them because they were too fast and could not be caught. They would only fly back when they were tired of playing.

It is very troubled by this.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have coveted the power of my eyes... I should have developed a balanced mind. God, I know I was wrong!"

The kobolds crawled to the ground.

But it’s not difficult to solve this problem.

Zhou Yi used white gem fiber to directly capture the two eyes and handed them over to the dog-headed man.

"Thank you, Almighty God!"

The kobold hastily stuffed his eyes back into his sockets and continued to prostrate himself.

Then Zhou Yi took out some sapphires. This time he used white sapphire fibers as input tubes, inserted them into the dog-headed man's leg reinforcements, and began manual reinforcement.

As reinforcement continues.

A blue connecting line formed between the eyes and the two legs, which seemed to represent that the three major enhanced bodies had reached a balance.

The kobolds sensed this, too.

"They stopped jumping around and finally returned to normal! That's great, that's great!"

"God, God!!"

It lay on the ground with its ears erected in excitement.

Zhou Yi told it: "Moderate development is good for health, but excessive development will cause the strengthening body to backfire. You'd better take care of yourself."

"Yes! I will never dare to do it again!"

The dog-headed man looked frightened.

At this time Zhou Yi realized that there was nothing wrong with mutants having multiple enhanced bodies. Instead, it formed a more stable balance.

This is contrary to the medical common sense of the wasteland era described by Leonardo da Vinci.

The Stream Tracer scoffed: "There can only be one enhanced body? That's because they don't have enough technology and knowledge."

"Having multiple enhancements means you can choose from multiple directions."

"Higher life forms are born with many paths to choose from. But lower life forms are physiologically fragile, and it is already difficult to support one evolutionary direction."

"Unless one is like a celestial being, and uses strong external forces to continuously interfere and transform, one can break through the limitations of oneself."

"It's like an insect living in a jungle. The jungle may become a lake or a desert. If it has the ability to swim and fly to adapt to lakes and deserts, it can survive and evolve further. If it can only survive in the jungle, it will become extinct."

Zhou Yi has experienced this.

When he was a child, his parents enrolled him in many interest classes, including table tennis, painting, calligraphy, football, basketball... Most of them proved that Zhou Yi had no talent and only learned the basics.

However, when facing Qin Xie, his table tennis skills came in handy, and it was somewhat of a form of social interaction.

When deciding on the company's logo, Zhou Yi drew the warrior crab logo himself, which is now widely imitated by employees.

As the old saying goes, it’s always good to have many skills, and that’s the truth.

It cannot be said that Da Vinci and his colleagues’ understanding was wrong, it was just incomplete.

……

Next, the black gem was used to release the Tengu into the wasteland.

Zhou Yi discovered that he could choose the placement location.

The corresponding location is the wasteland world, and the entire map appears in my mind.

He searched for a while before he found the Shagang area.

That is a very small area and cannot be used for advertising.

The latest drop point is the Shuanghe area governed by the Mieding Public Office.

It can only be deployed within the Kingdom of Heaven or in a mechanical and electrical city.

Zhou Yi finally decided to launch it at Coral Mouth.

After locking the delivery location.

The kobold was wrapped and solidified by the surrounding white gems, turning into a gem sculpture.

A countdown suddenly sounded in my mind.

"223, 222..."

"Projection on."

Zhou Yi’s eyes blurred and he came to a secret room.
