Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 226 Is anyone here? Please reply if you see this.

Zhou Yi's vacation destination is the old Chongqing under the sea in the southeast.

He had visited the coral mouth before using the body of a dog-headed man, but compared to the city on the ground, the old human city under the sea was more to his liking.

Before leaving, Zhou Yi handed over the company affairs to Hong Shun and Gong Zheng.

Listen to Hong Xun externally and rely on Gong Zheng internally.

After completing the arrangements, he packed a travel bag, got on his bike, and slowly returned to the Dead Sea.

……

There is a lot of dust and gravel on the seabed, but the road surface is well preserved because of the light film protection. As long as you find a road built by humans, you can ride on it without any obstacles.

Zhou Yi originally wanted to bring Hong Shun with him.

However, this partner has been extremely busy recently. He serves as the company's foreign trade minister, and he also has to race against time to take online courses and prepare for the annual Zen meditation test.

He ended up having to travel alone.

Without the Red Falcon's navigation and vision, finding the way became a lot more difficult.

Fortunately, the scavenger team has been exploring in the direction of Chongqing, and has put up guiding signs along the way, leading all the way to the city along the main road.

Although there is no navigation positioning, the general direction is correct.

If there is any emergency in the rear, the kestrel will fly over to find him.

Zhou Yi rode his bike to the RT-Mart he had been to before, and then headed south. He was in very good physical condition now, and hardly felt any fatigue.

Once on the highway, he began to pedal faster.

On the empty road surrounded by fog, there is only this one bicycle moving lonely.

Zhou Yi summoned the microphone and started playing music.

Xiaofu was also switched out to take a walk and chat along the way.

It said: "We upstreamers don't have the concept of vacation. Vacation should be the interval between work, right? In this way, we actually have it."

"But unlike your method, we upstreamers like to find some lower life forms and make blind box simulations."

"Blind box simulation is a kind of random screening, which puts similar lower life forms in a relatively closed environment and allows them to interact, cooperate and survive."

"The key to blind boxes is not to observe. Observation will lead to similar results. Sometimes the result is destruction, sometimes nothing changes, and sometimes you can get some new intermediate life... In general, if you can get new life, it is equivalent to cultivating the fire yourself."

Zhou Yi originally thought it was an electronic cricket fight, but it turned out to be raising a Gu.

"You used this kind of blind box simulation to simulate the skeleton Jacob and the others before?"

"Yes."

The upstreamer said: "I didn't expect that they would kill each other when they developed to a certain extent. Later, I changed my strategy and interfered with them, turning them into bait to attract fire from the outside world. The result was not satisfactory."

Zhou Yi asked again: "What is the principle of blind box simulation?"

"Just like the name, we don't know what the core mechanism is. We only know that the fewer observations, the better the effect, and the more likely it is that special changes will occur."

Xiaofu said: "This is the technology we obtained from a destroyed civilization. They also only know how to apply it, but don't know the principles behind it."

"They believe that if a world is blindly sealed, then the entire world will give birth to an artificial Great Holy Spirit."

"In other words, they believe that this is how the Great Holy Spirit was born."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but wonder: "How did this civilization perish?"

“It’s also because of the blind box simulation.”

Xiaofu said: "The last fire we collected, the relevant information and the recorder all confirmed this."

"[Blind Box Civilization] itself is a powerful civilization. They created a large number of blind box areas in their world, and even placed main life forms, cities, and countries into them, hoping to break through the existing level in this way. In the end, they created many strange creatures that they could not control, and these creatures led to their destruction."

Zhou Yi also said: "Technology is a double-edged sword, so we still have to use it with caution."

"Correct."

The upstreamer agreed with Zhou Yi on this point: "So it is safer to choose lower life forms."

"This is a random test to stimulate life, and it can be used as a control study. If you want to use this method to transform the entire civilization and give birth to life beyond the current stage, it will only cause everyone to gamble more and more, and ultimately destroy it."

“A life or a civilization can only master the power that it can understand. If it exceeds its cognition, it will only become a vassal of that power.”

"Blind box simulation is a way to learn about the new world. For us, it is entertainment and a vacation."

Xiaofu added: "In the past, some of our kind would choose lower creatures. In this case, they would probably choose gerbils and common insects. If we can simulate the birth of intelligent species through blind boxes, we will be their creators and can use them to develop the world."

“It just takes too long.”

"Unfortunately, the test I conducted on the skeleton failed. The intelligence level is still a little higher. The speed of the skeleton's intelligence and cognitive development is much faster than I thought. It is a very strange species. Although its physiological structure is very simple, it is not weak in the field of consciousness."

It's a bit regrettable.

Zhou Yi and Xiaofu chatted all the way.

The bicycles go along the main road, following the signposts and scavenger team signs along the way.

Zhou Yi rode across the Lanhai Expressway, from the Shizishan Interchange all the way to the Wujiang Interchange, crossed the Jialing River which was now sparkling with light, and arrived at the ancient town of Ciqikou.

This is the first stop of his trip.

Zhou Yi had never been to Chongqing before, but he knew that the more famous places here include Ciqikou, Hongyadong, Jiefangbei, and the beautiful Chongqing girls with hot tempers.

In the past, my biggest fear when traveling was that tourist attractions were crowded and noisy everywhere.

The wasteland era has reached another extreme. There is no one at all. Except for the thick fog and dead light that last all year round, everything is dead silent.

The gate of Ciqikou is a stone memorial archway with several lanterns hanging on it, but the bone fish did not damage it. Undersea luminous species such as bone fish and warrior crabs generally do not cause meaningless destruction, and they usually choose to avoid obstacles.

Zhou Yi suddenly discovered what was written on the stone lions under the archway.

He stopped the car to take a closer look.

There were crooked Chinese characters written on Shi's head.

——Is anyone here? If you see this, please reply.

The text was written with a thick black marker. The characters were ugly, but the meaning was clear.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but frown. He looked around and found the same handwriting on the stone tablet behind the archway.

--I am Chinese.

Huh?
Could it be that some surviving Chinese people came here and looked for other survivors in old Chongqing?
Zhou Yi rode his bike all the way in along the stone road covered with thick dust.

Along the way, he observed that many buildings, stone slabs and walls were inscribed with Chinese characters.

——I go to school.

——Hello, teacher.

——Hello, classmate.

——There are 56 ethnic groups in our motherland.

——The sun is shining in the sky and the flowers are smiling at me.

——The little bird said, Good morning, good morning.

……

The more Zhou Yi looked at it, the weirder it seemed.

It's like an elementary school student scribbling everywhere, writing words he has just learned.

These words are also accompanied by guiding arrows.

Following these arrows, Zhou Yi went out of Ciqikou, came to Shabin Road outside, and headed east along the Jialing River.

There are eye-catching words on the houses along the way.

But people who don’t know it may not understand its meaning at all.

For example, the words "Heaven, Earth, and Man", "You, Me, and Him", and "Sun, Moon, Water, and Fire" written on the high walls are difficult to understand even if one can read Chinese.

Only Zhou Yi, a prehistoric human, understood that this was actually a basic elementary school literacy lesson in the Chinese textbook.

This was equivalent to a secret code among the Chinese in the old times.

Zhou Yi rode all the way and came to a group of stilt houses.

We actually arrived at Hongyadong.

It was all grey here, with only the dim light brought by the dead light and fog. It was not as bright and dazzling as what we saw on the Internet in the past. Instead, it became gloomy and mysterious.

I can only say that lighting is very important for both people and buildings.

Zhou Yi saw that Chinese characters were written everywhere on the outer wall of Hongya Cave. This large complex of buildings built against the mountain was like a tombstone, as if it was sealing some monster.

All text ultimately leads here.

Zhou Yi placed his palm against the outer wall of the building.

Energy input.

failure.

It is not architectural life.

In other words, it was another life that left these words behind.

Zhou Yi turned on the radio and tuned it to channel 5.

Then, a series of almost sandbox-like scenes appeared before my eyes, as if they were situational dramas being performed simultaneously in different studios.

He looked up.

In the distance, there are bony fish swimming and warrior crabs crawling and rummaging underground...they are all very common sea creatures.

The signals they send out are also very simple, either "I eat, I eat, I eat" or "find a place to sleep."

The most important scene is in Hongya Cave.

Inside there was an upright creature writing on a white wall with a brush dipped in red paint.

——Live as a hero, die as a ghost hero. I still miss Xiang Yu, who refused to cross the Yangtze River.

The text is vigorous and upright.

This poet has a long neck, like an upright lizard.

Its claws firmly grasped the brush that served as a pen, its body stood very steadily, and its tail served as support and balance.

This is a long-necked crocodile.

It is a small creature, only about 1.4 meters tall when standing upright.

The long-necked crocodile writing poetry upright is wearing a black robe and a white pendant hanging from a rope around its neck.

Zhou Yi was completely confused.

Is this long-necked crocodile teaching itself Chinese?
