Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 384: Legal Front and Diccat Transcoder
The temperature rises day by day in spring. At the end of the second month, it feels hot and unbearable even if you wear only light clothes when the sun is out.

Fortunately, a heavy rain brought down some of the abnormally high temperatures.

But the temperature is still stuck between 26 and 28 degrees, indicating that this summer is coming with full force.

Weather satellites issued warnings early on.

The program department also compared the temperature data of the past 20 years and gave a simulation forecast, reminding all regions of the development alliance that this summer will be extremely hot and the rainfall may be lower than the average. It is required that all regions store water as soon as possible, preferably by building a Dead Sea channel, to ensure sufficient water for daily life.

The infrastructure near the Emerald City is well-developed, so there is no problem in this regard. At the beginning of the year, Gongsun Baocai built the third Dead Sea Channel specifically for the rice fields.

Later, he was invited by the Lord of Shahai to build the fourth Dead Sea Channel for Shagang, which was used to solve the water and irrigation problems in Shagang City. Gongsun Bao further built a matching water purification pool there to separate drinking water and irrigation water.

What Zhou Yi is most satisfied with is that the rice planting that the agricultural machinery brothers had started to prepare last year has finally become a large-scale paddy field this spring, and the patches of green seedlings are very comfortable to look at.

If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to harvest rice in July and August in summer and eat the new rice grown by the company.

Zhou Yi had waited for this day for five whole years.

He sighed inwardly.

Getting a bite of rice is harder than dealing with a monster.

On this day, Zhou Yi was walking in the rice fields.

The farmland gave him a feeling of peace and tranquility, representing the results of Shagang people’s transformation of nature. It was also a place Zhou Yi liked to visit nowadays.

The kestrel flew over in a hurry.

"Zhou, the latest news came from Recursive City. Shang Yang has completed the reorganization and integration of the Mechanical and Electrical City, formally established the [Legal Front], and promulgated the [Resource Centralization Allocation Act] after legal review."

The legal front is a coalition of many people who operate electromechanical cities based on legal principles.

In different cities, legal principles will adjust policies and regulations, but the basic system is the same.

Rather than being a particular form of state, this is more of a particular procedural ideology.

"Currently, there are a total of 106 electromechanical cities in the Legal Front, and the construction and installation of corresponding physical equipment have been completed."

The drone said in a serious tone: "The 32 electromechanical cities that did not join were either annexed by other forces or became independent. They are all small and medium-sized cities."

“The most important thing is the [Resource Concentration Allocation Act] plan, which involves the resource control and allocation methods of each city, and has a lot of specific policy details.”

“I summed it up.”

“This bill consists of five main parts.”

“First, unified control of production and distribution across all industries to avoid the fluctuations and uncertainties of the market economy.”

“Second, controlling commodity prices and workers’ wages ensures the advancement of various industries and social stability.”

"Third, establish a job allocation system to ensure that residents of the mechanical and electrical city have stable jobs and reduce labor waste."

"Fourth, military industry and agriculture will be prioritized. Military industrial products will be mass-produced and continuously developed, and will drive the replacement of civilian products. Agriculture will be completely urban collectivized to uniformly promote the production, distribution and external dumping of agricultural products."

“Fifth, promote labor competitions in various cities, with rewards ranging from 100 to 1 light seeds, to increase workers’ enthusiasm for production.”

Kestrel said with some concern: “The trial of the Resources Act has been very effective.”

"During the one-week internal trial, 11 small cities with economic difficulties stopped losses, and more than 100 unemployed or unemployed mechanical and electrical workers returned to various cities and were assigned to re-employment."

"This change is unprecedented...especially the emphasis on military industry and agriculture. It is by no means just an industrial change. It will eventually turn into further external expansion and military threats."

It took Zhou Yi some time to digest this information.

Judging from these specific measures, Shang Yang's mechanical and electrical urban reforms seemed more like a planned economy.

However, considering the special nature of electromechanical cities, the real ruler today is the legal process, which is equivalent to completely entrusting city operations to AI, relying on the powerful data center of the electromechanical city to make decisions and actions.

This path may be the most suitable for them.

The key areas of development and promotion are military industry and agriculture. The former is to formally enhance its own strengths, and the latter is to supplement the shortcomings previously revealed.

The war is not over, it just changes into a new form.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of the military leader's warning.

——The mechanical and electrical city has never been defeated.

They are easily overlooked, but they are actually the core of the former resistance army.

What the company defeated was just the general protocol form.

Zhou Yi asked: "What actions has the Legal Front taken externally?"

"They purchased seven human cities from the nearby sea lords. All of them are adjacent to the mechatronics cities."

"A human city?"

"Correct."

Hong Jian said: "Those cities have a lot of wasteland, which has been transformed into military factories and farms. They need land and are still buying it."

Zhou Yi touched his chin.

Fa Li now holds the savings of hundreds of mechanical and electrical cities. He is a real asset giant, and his money alone is enough to buy the land he wants.

In the past, cities were mainly constrained by each other and had internal conflicts of interest, but now they have directly switched to a planned group form, and the destructive power they demonstrate will far exceed that before.

Zhou Yi said: "What is the attitude of the Kingdom of Heaven?"

Hong Jian said: "There has been no public action yet. According to some news from the Light Na species, the Kingdom of Heaven is mobilizing its defenses and increasing its troops and military preparedness in the areas adjacent to the Electromechanical City."

The reaction of the Kingdom of Heaven explained everything. Zhou Yi knew in his heart that a new round of challenges or even war was not far away.

The company needs to step up the development of various industries during this final period of stability.

……

At the end of this spring, Zhou Yi still did not wait for the resurrection of the God of Land.

The suspended layers have been built one after another, like giant black Ganoderma lucidum growing out of the Dead Sea, surrounding most of the Shagang area.

After repeated attempts, Skeleton Man Wu Yi found a feasible way to connect them - using the Wuhu viaduct.

By extending the life of the building toward the suspended layer, it travels back and forth on the suspended land above the sea, building a drivable circular driveway that is large enough for vehicles to enter each suspended farmland to transport crops and fertilizers.

The advantage of this is that the viaduct itself is strong and stable enough, and only a relatively light weight is needed to connect the suspended floors, without having to worry about calculating complicated construction.

Instead of waiting for the God of Land, Zhou Yi received another good news.

"Chairman, we made it!"

703 came running over, unable to hide his excitement, saying, "The Programming Department has created a modem transcoder! We can read information from modems!"

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed: "Confirm?"

"Confirmed! Highly accurate!"

The robot dog, along with the electromechanical programmers Walker and Senojie, immediately demonstrated the process to Zhou Yi.

They connected a wire to a copper coil in a cat house, and the other end of the wire passed through a device like an adapter, then to an oscilloscope, and finally to an enhanced controller.

703 raised the mechanical claw and activated the cat house.

An electric cat jumped out and flew along the wires, pulling out strands of electric arcs.

The robot dog explained: "Chairman, this is our programming department's working electric cat, Shining No. 2. We call it "The Biting Cat."

"Although it likes to bite people, it doesn't hurt much, but it will cause slight electrical signal interference to our electromechanical life. In fact, it means to be friendly and playful."

It walked to the side of the biting cat and raised its metal front paws. The biting cat shocked it with an electric arc, causing the robot dog's body to stiffen for two seconds.

“…It’s like this.”

After 703 recovered, he pointed to the equipment and said, "The electrical signal from the biting cat goes through the transcoder into the oscilloscope and becomes a recognizable signal waveform. Then, through a program we improved in the enhanced controller, the signal inside is parsed out."

"Walker."

The humanoid robot Walker raised the controller in his hand and turned the screen towards Zhou Yi: "Chairman, please take a look."

On the glass screen, an image of a stick figure lightning cat head appeared, with a dialog box popping up on its head.

【Want to play with me? Come on, play! 】

"Then."

703 inserted his own connection cable into it again.

Then a new box appeared under the cat head dialog box.

Text started popping up inside.

【The biting cat runs back and forth. 】

Then the electric cat began to shuttle back and forth nearby, turning into lightning.

【The biting cat rolls around. 】

The electric cat suddenly rolled on the ground like a ball of spinning lightning.

[The biting cat, return to the cat house. 】

It immediately went back into the miniature glass house of the power ball.

Zhou Yi looked shocked: "Has the company's program development capability reached this level now?"

This supporting package is a bit too fast to follow up.

"Thanks to Recursion City, the data center over there is amazing."

703 said happily: "The most difficult decoding, compilation and algorithms were all handled by them. We just found an idea and have to conduct the final physical test."

"In fact, the electrical signal technology has a large amount of data left by the old humans during the Age of Gods, as well as a large and diverse program library. We obtained a lot of usable parts from them, otherwise it would not be possible to start from scratch so quickly."

Zhou Yi nodded.

indeed.

When it comes to the field of electricity and the use of electrical signals, people in the wasteland era still have to watch and learn carefully, and tapping into the prehistoric technology of old humans is the shortcut.

"Through the Dianmao transcoder, we can chat directly with the Dianmao. The transmission and reception of electrical signals are very fast, with almost no delay. Although there may be some minor parts that may be lost or inaccurate during transcoding and translation, there is no problem in transmitting basic information."

703 continued: "The intelligence of the electric cats cultivated by the Ministry of Electricity is originally at a normal level. Through conversation and chatting, they grow very fast."

“They will become great partners in our departments!”

"Once the dragnet is established, Dianmao will be the company's best postman, guard and intelligence agent!"

Zhou Yi immediately said: "Immediately produce the modem transcoder and install it in every department of the company first, and... also give me one."

"Yes, Chairman!"
