Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 348 Skeleton Immigration Wave

The popularity of the floating heart made the entire Sand Harbor bustling with noise.

A large number of traders lingered near the factory, hoping to find a way to get some goods so that they could make a fortune as middlemen. Some of these people were very powerful, having received letters of introduction from various sea lords or even governors, and many of them also had interests related to various companies.

Zhou Yi saw it all.

The sight of scalpers lining up to buy them shows that there is indeed a demand for a large number of floating hearts in the outside world.

The three major companies are experienced, so you don’t have to worry.

What Zhou Yi was more concerned about was how effective the floating heart would be after it was installed.

He and Yuanxiao rushed to the farmland first.

Although it is a cold winter, the farm machinery brothers are still working hard to plow the fields and doze the earth.

"Chairman!"

The iron horse honked its horn to greet people from a distance.

Zhou Yi asked it: "Now that the heart is installed, how do you feel?"

"I was skeptical at first. After all, this thing is new and I didn't know if there would be any problems. But anyone who uses it will know that it is really good!"

Tie Ma happily opened his voice and said, "Chairman, the heart has reduced energy consumption to 11% of the original. Because of the frequency problem, the energy saving is actually even greater!"

"You may not understand this as a living being of flesh and blood. Let me give you an analogy. For a car, the best way to save energy is to maintain a constant speed for a long time, but this is impossible in reality."

"Because you have to slow down, take turns, stop, avoid people along the way, and sometimes you have to stop and do something else. So an energy pack that can last for a month is actually impossible. It's good if it can last for 1 to 20 days."

"This start-stop cycle consumes a lot of energy and also affects the engine and other equipment."

It said: "Our electromechanical life is like this. It is impossible to maintain a single movement or frequency all the time. The consumption is greater than the theoretical one. Because the expenditure is higher than the data surface, the floating heart is more economical and more effective."

"Everyone installs this heart, and can use oil to maintain consumption. Make a fuel tank, which is very similar to the cars of the Age of Gods. I have to say, the choice of oil in the Age of Gods does make sense."

Tiema explained it in detail.

“This is awesome.”

Even the taciturn Tong Niu gave a simple and rough compliment this time.

"There's just one problem."

Tiema added, "Can the fuel tank be bigger? The fuel tank only lasts for 15 to 20 days. I guess there will be queues for refueling in the future. Or should we have an entire gas station? Just for fuel."

Zhou Yi nodded: "I will talk to the manufacturing department about this. You can directly give them feedback if you have any opinions in the future."

He then asked the Yanma and Leivo teams one after another.

The farmers gave high praise to the floating heart and also gave some suggestions.

Then Zhou Yi rushed to Maria Hospital.

He saw quite a few skeletons along the way, and he passed by more than a dozen of them just by passing by.

Many of them are dressed like local workers. Because the company now has a uniform dress code, customized blue work clothes, with work badge numbers on the chest and shoulders, so the company employees can tell them at a glance.

The skeletons all greeted the chairman.

"Hello..."

Zhou Yi was a little confused. Why did the skeletons suddenly pour into Shagang in large numbers?
In the hospital, Da Vinci was talking to Red Falcon.

"Chairman."

The mechatronic doctor introduced to Zhou Yi: "Hong Shun and I are discussing how small mechatronic life can use floating hearts."

This is also a current problem.

Small electromechanical life forms like the Kestrel are agile and light, but a floating heart is heavy and too big for them.

There are many difficulties in installation and use.

"Kestrel made a valuable suggestion."

Da Vinci said: "It believes that the use of floating hearts does not mean abandoning the energy pack of traditional energy. The two can be connected to each other."

"Taking the rechargeable energy pack with a floating heart and reusing it multiple times is also an option, and it doesn't even require surgery to replace it. For small electromechanical life, this is the most practical and useful method."

"It just requires a slight increase in cost. You need to buy rechargeable energy packs, which are twice as expensive as regular energy packs."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's a good idea! Have you talked to the manufacturing department?"

Hongjian's idea is to extend the floating heart into a power bank.

"I told you."

Hong Jian said: "Dean Da Vinci and I are conducting a comparison test."

"It has a heart installed, and I charge it externally. Let's see how big the difference is between these two charging methods."

"Using a floating heart to charge energy externally will result in increased energy consumption. Because there is no light-nano organ to support electromechanical life, the energy dissipation will be very serious, and the energy consumption will be about 20% more than charging energy internally."

"We are still looking for the cause and want to reduce this loss as much as possible."

After listening patiently, Zhou Yi said, "I don't know much about the technology, so I won't comment on it. But one thing is for sure, any technology will be improved through continuous introduction and feedback. I suggest that we start the production and optimization of the extracorporeal heart charger right away. Tell Yin Shang and others to let Mr. Liu and Mr. Chen lead the team to do this and bring it to the market as soon as possible."

"Don't you want us to do this alone?" asked Hong Xun.

"What we do is technical standards. Production, assembly, sales and promotion all require cooperation among partners and a community of interests. The current cooperation model among the four companies is very good," Zhou Yi explained.

"understood."

At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly noticed that a skeleton in employee uniform came out of the rehabilitation and physiotherapy department not far away. It stretched lazily, looking very comfortable.

Feng Ying gave it some instructions, and the skeleton nodded as it listened, then walked out briskly.

Zhou Yi said, "Don't bone people rarely come to treat illnesses? Why are there so many bone people in Shagang now?"

“This is all thanks to Dr. Wei.”

Da Vinci said, "The Bone Man Plastic Surgery Department has attracted a large number of bone men. Many of them are very interested in plastic surgery. Some have whitened and aged skin, and some have customized glazed muscle jackets. The department is almost always full, and Dr. Wei has to perform 10 surgeries every day."

"Later, some of the skeletons stayed here temporarily, waiting for their appointments and surgeries before going back." "During this process, they gradually got to know our company and Sand Harbor. The company's various products continue to be innovative, and not long ago, it defeated the invading United Guards and broke through the Energy Storage City, which had a huge impact on them."

The electromechanical doctor explained: "Bone people attach great importance to safety and stability."

"They have no shortage of ways to make money. Skeletons can enter the Dead Sea to search for items from the Age of Gods. They are also natural craftsmen and learn quickly. And because they use bones to remember, they have a good memory. For these reasons, Skeletons are rich in craftsmen and merchants."

"The company's strong counterattack against the sanctions imposed by the electromechanical city cluster, coupled with the sound local infrastructure and various jobs, made them very impressed, so many decided to migrate directly to Shagang."

"Gong Zheng once said that this year, there were 244 skeletons who moved to the company. The actual number of people who moved to Shagang will be even higher than this number."

"The vast majority of these skeleton craftsmen came to the company to seek employment and started out as soot workers. They all had a technical foundation, so they were quickly promoted to other departments and became technical backbones. Now in the manufacturing department, a small number of the workers and engineers who install and test gliders are skeletons."

"Besides them, there are also humans from other places who have come to our side. However, the competition for positions in the company is fierce now. They can't beat the Skeleton Man, so they can only go to work for Lord Shahai first."

"According to the latest statistics, the population of Shagang has exceeded 6 and is still growing."

Da Vinci finally brought the topic back: "But there is also a problem behind this."

"Cosmetic surgery consumes a lot of hospital resources. If it does not harm your health, we need to strictly control it to avoid medical loopholes. This is also what Wei Wu and I are more worried about."

"I suggest limiting the benefits of cosmetic surgery to one time only to avoid wasting too many company resources. Medical resources should be allocated more to the truly injured and sick."

Zhou Yi was a little amused.

The cosmetic surgery department has actually become a means of drainage, bringing in a small wave of skeleton immigration.

This can be seen.

Even in the wasteland age, publicity is extremely important.

Zhou Yi said, "Okay. You guys discuss the details, and then inform the company through Red Falcon."

"Another good news is that the majority of hospital profits now come from the cosmetic surgery department."

Da Vinci said: "A cosmetic surgery will charge anywhere from 5 mushrooms to 5 light seeds. But even though the price is high, people still come in droves."

"Although the cosmetic surgery department has only been open for less than four months, it has already completed 4 operations. Excluding material and labor costs, the net profit is 1200 million mushrooms, or 4830 light seeds."

"This brought in a large number of skeletons, and also allowed them to undergo rehabilitation therapy, full-body examinations and other projects, which was of great significance to the promotion of the entire hospital."

Zhou Yi asked again: "Where is Wei Wu?"

"It's on the second floor. The Bone Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Department is up there. Also, after you finish talking to Dr. Wei, please come down again so I can check your right arm prosthesis."

Zhou Yi went all the way to the department on the second floor.

Six skeletons holding receipts were sitting on the bench outside, waiting for their numbers.

The door of the operating room was closed, and the red light showed that Wei Wu was performing surgery inside.

So Zhou Yi decided not to affect its work anymore.

After returning to the first floor and checking his right arm, Da Vinci said there was nothing wrong with it and did some basic maintenance.

When I walked out of the hospital gate, there was a cold wind blowing outside.

But Zhou Yi didn't feel cold at all.

He was going to see the panda people.

Since arriving in Shagang, Tuozhu has been constructing its buildings. It purchased a large amount of custom glass and various mirrors from Glass Castle through the company.

The construction is carried out in Yalong Bay, far away from the crowd, which can prevent energy life from causing harm to ordinary people.

After arriving here.

Zhou Yi saw a distorted two-story house, just like a normal house in a funhouse mirror. It was made entirely of glass, with a layer of snow on the roof.

At this time, there were constant flickering in the house, as if there was a welder welding something inside.

Zhou Yi turned on the [Alert] perspective and saw a wandering white light in the house.

It is difficult to describe the shape of the electric bulb. It looks like a jellyfish made up of balls of lightning, flashing continuously and disappearing quickly.

The panda man with a black and gray face was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhou Yi: "Chairman, you are here, I was just about to look for you."

"The electric light bulb requires a large number of batteries to provide it with enough electricity to produce a qualitative change, so that it can break through the primary form of energy state."

"I used to buy batteries for Shindai with all my light seeds, and I still have a little to lose even after spending all my savings. Can you help me buy some batteries?"

"Not much, 10 light seeds should be enough..."

Seeing Zhou Yi's unfriendly look, it changed its words: "5, 5 is definitely fine!"

"Really, please believe me! I have found some traces in the Crooked House!"

"The life of a bulb is short-lived. It appears and disappears. Even with the special structure of the curved house, it can't last long. It needs to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, otherwise it will die quickly like a flying insect."

the pandaren pleaded.

Zhou Yi asked: "Do you need electricity?"

"Yes."

"Have you considered getting a generator?"

The pandas' eyes were filled with questions: "Generator...what is that?"

Zhou Yi was helpless: "So you are doing this research on electric bulbs, but you don't even know about generators..."

But then he thought about it.

In this era, electricity is not used, and the understanding of electricity is limited to lightning. The fact that the Pandaren can use the batteries left over from the Age of Gods is already pretty good.

"Are you sure it's because of the lack of electricity?"

"I swear by my father!" Takuzhu raised his paw.

Zhou Yi nodded: "I'll find a way."
