Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 265 Programmer Team

One day, the red kestrel flew over in a hurry and said, "Zhou, did you see the latest news?"

"what happened?"

"138 mechatronic cities have issued a joint statement, demanding that no city should shelter or harbor the Mechatronic Knights. If any dangerous personnel are found, they should be notified immediately and they will pay a handsome reward."

"Currently, two human cities have been confirmed to have harbored and concealed the spreader of the Sunday virus, and have been jointly sanctioned by the electromechanical cities."

"They have been put on the trade blacklist, their ratings have been downgraded by one level, and they have been subject to a 10-year technical blockade. During this period, the two cities will not be able to obtain any technical support and services from the Mechanical and Electrical City."

Zhou Yi opened the tablet and found that the Recursive City page was already accessible.

After clicking in, there are two eye-catching notices on the homepage.

The first one is "Public Wanted Order for the 'Mechatronic Knights'"

The text reads.

——In order to severely crack down on crimes that disrupt order in accordance with relevant general agreements and effectively safeguard the safety of urban property and legitimate rights and interests, the 138 electromechanical city security departments issued a joint A-level wanted order for the main members of the electromechanical Knights...

At the top of the wanted list are [Laozi] and [Zhuangzi].

Many names are listed below.

The entire list was very long. Zhou Yi took a quick glance and saw at least two or three hundred people, including new humans, electromechanical life forms, skeletons, and light-generating species. The list was still being updated.

I didn't see the name 703.

At the end of the article, it was written that if these people were captured and handed over to the Mechanical and Electrical City, they would receive a Light Seed reward, ranging from 5000 to tens of thousands.

A reward of 500 million light seeds was offered for both Laozi and Zhuangzi.

Judging from the amount of money, it can be seen that the Mechatronic Knights have caused them great trouble.

Zhou Yi looked at the second announcement again.

Announcement on the Addition of Agreement No. 412.39 to the General Agreement for Mechanical and Electrical Cities

The content is still aimed at the Mechatronic Knights.

——The Electromechanical Knights are a dangerous terrorist organization that causes continuous harm and losses to cities and society, depriving a large number of electromechanical workers of their labor rights and diluting their values, and further affecting the good reputation of the entire electromechanical community.

——All products produced by the Mechanical and Electrical Knights are defined as dangerous goods, and the import of related products is prohibited.

——It is recommended that all cities participate in the hunt for and arrest of this organization.

……

Read it line by line.

Zhou Yi outlined the main idea.

The core of the 412.39 Agreement is to impose comprehensive sanctions and crackdowns on the Mechatronic Knights, prohibit any city or organization from cooperating with them, and encourage more human cities and Light Nano cities to participate in the encirclement and suppression of them.

If this agreement is violated, even human cities or optical cities will be sanctioned by all mechatronic cities.

The two human cities, "Motorcycle City" and "Hardware City", became the first units to be sanctioned because of their cooperation with the Mechatronic Knights.

The credit rating of the Motorcycle City dropped from D to E, and the credit rating of the Hardware City was even reduced to -B. The general account of the Mechanical and Electrical City was frozen and could not be accessed.

Hong Falcon said on the side: "Zhou, all cities are looking for and arresting the Electromechanical Knights... If 703 is still kept, it will make the company an enemy of all electromechanical cities."

"Can you accept this result?"

Zhou Yi stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and opened a can of Coke.

He said slowly: "New things will eventually replace old things. What the electromechanical city fears is that the old order will be replaced and lose the power to rule every electromechanical life."

"But think about it, if all electromechanical life is against Sunday and thinks that the Electromechanical Knights are dangerous criminals, and if the Knights do not receive any external support, can they hide safely?"

"The Mechatronic City, which monopolizes high-tech, has all kinds of efficient and powerful equipment, but is unable to locate the Mechatronic Knights. This is not just a technical problem."

Kestrel was silent.

"There are more and more disseminators because more and more electromechanical life forms are voting with their actions and joining the actions of the Electromechanical Knights to oppose endless work and exploitation."

"A large number of semi-civilized bodies will be repaired and become a new generation of electromechanical life. They are not bound by the agreements of the past. They are the future that has already been born."

"I'm not sure how this will turn out, but I won't give up on the millions of semi-civilized bodies. Among them there will be individuals like Zhanjiang Bay No. 1, and there are endless possibilities."

“The mechanical and electrical city doesn’t want them, the company does.”

Zhou Yi said in a deep voice: "In addition to the relationship of interests, I also agree that fighting for the right to take a vacation is a reasonable demand of electromechanical life. The rules and agreements of the electromechanical society should be formulated by every electromechanical life, rather than being manipulated by those invisible forces behind the scenes."

"..."

The Red Falcon's electronic eyes flickered slightly: "Zhou, are you ready for the technical blockade and economic sanctions of the Mechanical and Electrical City?"

"of course not."

Zhou Yi said: "But many things have to take the first step after all."

"Although the company has many collaborations with Mechanical and Electrical City, I have always tried to avoid over-dependence there. The company can certainly develop faster and better by cooperating with Mechanical and Electrical City, but we can still develop without their support."

"We must adhere to independence and autonomy and not be subject to long-arm jurisdiction. This is a basic prerequisite for long-term development."

"I had this attitude when facing Lord Baili and Lord Mieding before, and it will remain the same when facing the Mechanical and Electrical City."

"understood."

Hong Jian said: "From the perspective of my job, I hope to be able to rescue more semi-civilized beings."

"But this will inevitably lead to a lot of economic losses, and cooperation with the mechanical and electrical city will be cut off. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Well, I know what's going on."

Zhou Yi nodded.

The Wasteland Development Corporation was not established to make money.

The purpose of making money is to be able to develop and transform the world.

After two years of exploration, all departments have responded that after the new humans and electromechanical lifeforms coexist, the growth of both sides is very significant.

The company will introduce more mechanical and electrical life employees.

Compared with going to other cities for social recruitment, it is better for the company to treat the semi-civilized body by itself and train the required mechanical and electrical life, which is more reliable and convenient.

Zhou Yi thought in his heart.

Anyway, we have decided to protect 703 and use the time anchor. So we will just show our support for the Mechatronic Knights.

Zhou Yi called 703.

"This is the situation... I need you to continue repairing the semi-civilized life."

703 was a little incredulous: "Are you saying that we should ask the Knights to send the semi-civilized life forms here for repair?"

"Correct."

The robot dog hesitated: "But if we do this, the company will be targeted by the Mechanical and Electrical City, which will bring huge troubles."

"There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. It's only a matter of time before they find out. They may even know it now."

Zhou Yi said: "Since the time anchor has been proven to be effective, my investment is not in vain. What you need to do now is to introduce some talented new employees from the repaired semi-civilized bodies to the company, which can be regarded as reducing the company's losses."

“Chairman, why do you take such a big risk to support us?”

703 is puzzled.

“I think you’re doing the right thing.”

Zhou Yi said frankly: "Although doing the right thing is often difficult. Most people know which path is right and which is wrong, but the right path is too difficult to take, so many people eventually give up. I am a stubborn person. Once I believe in the right thing, I will keep doing it."

703's single eye sparkled: "It's like liberating all of humanity! No wonder you can understand us!!"

"Okay, stop talking about that. Just repair more semi-civilized bodies."

"Yes!"

About a month later, a transport ship brought several semi-civilized bodies to the pier in Yalong Bay and handed them over to Unit 703 for repair.

Zhou Yi also asked the Black Water Ghost to cooperate with it.

"Chairman, the success rate of repair is very high!"

703 came to report the good news: "Of the four semi-awakened bodies, three were successfully repaired, and the remaining one was sent back because its main program was severely damaged, waiting for further repairs from the Knights."

"In order to fill the relatively weak programming area for the company, the few I applied for are all semi-open bodies related to programming."

"They are more talented than me. They were all excellent electromechanical programmers."

Zhou Yi looked at the three mechatronic lifeforms behind 703.

they are, respectively.

UBTECH's robot "Walker" has a display screen as its head.

A six-axis robotic arm [little elephant] myCobot 280.

And a smart balance car [Nine] LC2.

For ease of naming, 703 called them Walker, Little Elephant and Number Nine.

Gong Zheng also made a container house for the four of them so that they could work in it.

The three new employees all said to Zhou Yi in unison: "Hello, Chairman."

A pair of smiling eyes appeared on the screen of the robot Walker.

The little elephant waved its robotic arm as if to say hello.

The balance bike spun wildly in place, showing off its balance and controllability.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "You just woke up and you're already involved in the work. Are you used to it?"

"Habit."

"pretty good."

"like."

Their responses were all positive.

703 ran to the three newcomers and introduced them one by one: "Chairman, Walker has industrial-grade computing power and his computing speed is three times faster than mine."

"It has 36 high-performance servo joints and a full range of perception systems including force, vision, hearing, and spatial perception, which can achieve smooth and fast walking and flexible and precise operation."

“Walker’s ability is [human-machine modality], which allows it to obtain a large amount of information from human interaction and update real-time data… which can be applied to the manufacture of various tools and products.”

Walker pointed at himself with his thumb: "Yes, Chairman, this is what I am capable of."

Then 703 raised his forelimbs and pointed to the small robotic arm next to him: "Although the little elephant is not an industrial-grade machine, it can be used to make ordinary tools or high-precision models. With it, the program simulation can be further applied to physical manufacturing."

“Its capabilities are [design and development] and [practical teaching].”

Zhou Yi was a little surprised: "Little elephant, are you a teaching machine?"

"Chairman, I am an entry-level lightweight robotic arm that cannot grab objects that are too heavy. There is indeed a teaching program." The robotic arm said as it rotated its flexible body.

"That's great. We can cooperate more with Mushroom Forest. Diamond is teaching programming language."

"Yes, Chairman."

Finally, there is the balance bike.

703 said: "Chairman, the two abilities of the Nine are [Precision Sensing] and [Balance Algorithm]. The former can identify roadblocks and slopes and adjust the instantaneous power to easily pass through. The latter continuously accumulates driving data to calibrate the speed and keep the body balanced and stable. Although it is small in size, it is both very advanced."

“These capabilities can be applied to the modification and optimization of vehicles.”

Nine was very humble: "Chairman, I need a lot of driving data to perfect the balance. Currently, I can only achieve basic balance, and the dynamic balance is not satisfactory enough."

"Take it easy."

Zhou Yi felt relieved.

The company finally has a technical team.

He looked at 703 again: "By the way, the company's cattle-taming tribe, the horned cattle in it are also semi-civilized. Have they not been repaired yet?"

"This... technically there is no problem."

"So the bull-taming tribe is against it?"

The robot dog stammered, "The cattle-taming tribe is worried that if the horned cattle have self-awareness, they will not listen to their commands, so they have been opposing my repair."

Zhou Yi said, "I'll take care of it."
