Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 414: Full force kick, attack!

Zhou Yi held the wooden cane on the upper half of his prosthetic leg and read that there were two more energy blocks inside.

Including the one I got the first time, there are three in total.

They are exactly the same size, shaped like small watermelons, regular dodecahedrons, translucent like ice cubes, and have very standard geometric structures.

Zhou Yi thought to himself that it seemed that obtaining these energy blocks in the Mud Tree World also required luck.

The first time, there should have been some near the space bubble we entered. The second time, the prosthetic leg must have run around a lot before finding two.

This is a LV4 light core energy crystal. Each piece can trigger a 5-nuclear energy explosion. In the wasteland earth where light cores are controlled, it is a genuine strategic-level nuclear bomb.

After obtaining three energy blocks, Zhou Yi felt more confident.

He held the prosthetic leg in his hand and liked it more and more as he looked at it.

[Crazy Traveler] is a super leg substitute who can travel into other worlds and search for treasures for people who have no time, energy or fear of danger.

The inventor is truly a genius!
An idea came to Zhou Yi's mind.

You can find energy blocks in low gear.

Wouldn’t the high-end ones take off?
He was ready to see what the prosthetic leg could find when it was in full force.

Zhou Yi called Ni Ge and rushed to the previous space bubble again.

Turn on high-speed mode.

Kick with all your strength and attack!

After entering the full load state, the Crazy Traveler suddenly shook and trembled, and a layer of strange black stripes appeared on his body surface, as if a large number of QR codes were printed on it.

It disappeared into the black mud of the space bubble.

……

The public opinion effect brought by the great monk is still continuing to ferment.

More and more monks contacted the Wasteland Company. They first went to Recursion City to investigate this mechanical city that broke away from the existing system. Some ordinary mechanical life also went there to seek a job in the mechanical city under the Wasteland Company system.

Zhou Yi was encouraging about this.

There are no confidential projects in Recursion City, so it is very suitable to serve as a bridgehead for mutual communication between the company and the Mechanical and Electrical City.

The two monks who had made an appointment earlier, Wu Le and Hui He, arrived at Shagang one after another.

But neither of them wanted to meet Zhou Yi.

Wu Le told Hong Xun: "The people I want to discuss and communicate with are the ordinary people and the electromechanical workers here. I appreciate Mr. Zhou's kindness, but I don't want to have any intersection with those in power."

Another Huihe said: "Mr. Zhou is very busy, so I won't bother him. My main practice is to communicate and learn with the semi-civilized electromechanical life in Emerald City, so as to further deepen our mutual understanding with them."

Zhou Yi didn't care either.

Judging from the great monk Juemingzi and his disciple Huimai, the mechanical and electrical monks viewed the rulers critically and impartially, regardless of whether the ruler was a living being or a materialized procedure such as a universal protocol or legal principle.

But there are still necessary restrictions.

Zhou Yi asked the spinehunters to keep an eye on the monks and not interfere with their free movements as long as they did not behave dangerously.

Two days later.

There is good news.

Emerald City said: "Commissioner, we have solved the problem of Litholite and successfully built a Litholite Reactor!"

Zhou Yi took the Emerald City to Yalong Bay.

This is also the test site for the lithotripsy reactor.

The lithotripsy reactor was fixed underground, with only a stone house on the ground serving as an entrance. There was a thick chimney on the roof, spewing out a large amount of white gas.

Going down along the entrance is a basement made of stone bricks.

A large boiler is set up indoors, which heats water into steam and connects it to a steam turbine. The high-pressure steam is used to drive a turbine to rotate, thereby driving a generator set to generate electricity.

Finally, the condenser condenses a large amount of steam into water for recycling.

The process is clear at a glance.

Robot dog 703, mutant Li Mo and Tengu are all here.

"Chairman."

703 said: "Under the leadership of Mr. Lao Dang, the entire project had its ups and downs and failures, but the final result was good."

"Look."

A red light shot out from its head, illuminating a device that looked like a base under the boiler in front of it.

"This is a closed lead block, which is made up of eight pieces of stone sloughs from the Emerald City and some equipment."

"The heat released by the sloughing makes the water in the boiler boil, and then the heat is converted into electricity."

Zhou Yi asked: "What about the conversion rate and power?"

“The conversion rate is about 33 percent.”

703 said happily: "The power it provides is equivalent to 260 second-generation floating hearts running at full power, with an efficiency of 2 floats. The most important thing is that it does not need fuel supply and can function stably for a long time. According to our measurements and the judgment of the Emerald City, the natural heat and radiation of such a stone exfoliation can last for 403 years."

Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

The focus of the lithotripsy reactor is stability, providing another low-cost way to generate electricity, which can effectively supplement the energy supply system of the floating heart.

"But as for the specific technical aspects, please let Mr. Lao Dang explain it." The robot dog stopped there.

When Zhou Yi asked, Shi Gandang, the person in charge of the Shitui reactor project, finally spoke.

"Chairman, our original idea was to stimulate the energy in the stone shedding in a controllable way. Tengu's radiation test proved that it can be done in theory."

"I asked Tengu to stimulate the stone to release more energy, but an experimental accident occurred, causing Tengu and Li Mo, who were operating on the front line, to fall into a coma, causing a small-scale consciousness shock to the outside world." "Fortunately, their physical strength is high enough, and they only suffered a slight concussion. Because of the close-range impact, they lost consciousness for a short time. They recovered soon after receiving treatment at Maria Hospital."

Shi Gandang said: "After learning this lesson, I gave up the radical path of releasing energy and chose a more controllable and stable way."

"The current form of steam turbine power generation has a lower conversion rate and the power output per unit time is not high, but it is safe and available."

"I think this model is suitable for our current actual situation."

Zhou Yi agreed.

Technology must be developed step by step, starting with what is usable, and then gradually trying to upgrade and replace it.

He asked: "So how many stone sloughs have we found now?"

"There are currently 53 found deep underground in Sand Harbor and under the Dead Sea."

Shi Gandang said: "The frequency of excretion of aliens varies. Generally, the larger the body, the higher the excretion rate."

"Jade City currently produces about one piece of wood per year. The small high-rise buildings produce almost nothing. The high-rise buildings 1, 5, 6, and 7 produce one piece of wood per year. Together with the first building, the total output is 8 pieces per year."

"Yalong Bay has the largest volume, producing one piece per month. The energy level of the same-sized rock is 1 times that of Emerald City. Among the rock shells we have obtained, it has the highest energy level and the largest number, and almost all of them are buried deep under the Dead Sea."

"The Leshan Giant Buddha also produces one piece a year."

"Maria Hospital has the lowest output, producing only one piece in two years."

"The Wuhu Viaduct is quite special. It is now expanding in size. It has already covered the entire Shagang area, built a suspended ring road, and is now connected to the Moon Landing Area. It has a strong growth momentum."

"Because of its rapid growth, it also excretes a lot, and the exfoliation has now reached one piece per month. The energy level is about 1 times that of the Emerald City stone exfoliation."

"Different stone sheddings have different energy levels. It is best to react the same sheddings together to ensure stable energy release. Therefore, Emerald City, Maria Hospital, Yalong Bay, Leshan Giant Buddha, and the viaduct all collect sheddings separately to build these five types of reactors."

"We plan to build five reactors, one of each type, with a total output equivalent to 5 second-generation hearts generating electricity continuously."

"As time goes by, we will collect more and more exuvias, and the number of reactors will continue to increase."

Zhou Yi was delighted.

After the Lithospheric Reactor is built, there is no additional cost except for maintaining the power generation equipment, and there is no need to replenish oil and sugar.

Although the floating heart is currently famous, it has also caused a sharp increase in demand for oil and sugar in the market, and the price of this part of energy raw materials is bound to rise.

Plankton has a huge appetite, and further cultivation and upgrading will require even greater consumption.

With the lithotripsy reactor as a supplement, electricity costs can be effectively controlled and reduced.

Especially if there is a natural disaster or poor harvest in various places, there is no need to worry about power outages.

We need to increase our efforts in recruiting architectural talents.

Zhou Yi pondered in his heart.

I don’t know if the electric cat export operation in Building 7 and United City has attracted any opposition building life.

There has been no response so far.

This reminded him of another thing.

"Emerald City, you haven't built a new body since Building 8. Why haven't you started the construction of Building 9 yet?"

This is also what Zhou Yi has always been confused about.

It's just because I was so busy that I forgot about it.

"Commissioner, I don't think I have enough ability to guide them well."

Emerald City responded: "In the past, I relied on instinct to build high-rise buildings and let them grow wildly. But as I learned more and more, and got to know the outside world, I realized that this was not appropriate."

"The company's Mushroom Forest Primary School will accept employees' children for study and guidance."

“But architectural life cannot participate in it.”

"I have been thinking about what kind of obligations I should fulfill as a cultivator of architectural life, and what I should do to make the newcomers better than me. I haven't figured it out yet, so I have temporarily stopped building new high-rise buildings."

"If I figure it out, I'll start working right away."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

The fact that higher education levels lead to lower fertility rates is actually also happening to architectural life.

Zhou Yi could only express his understanding of this.

……

One day later.

It started to rain heavily.

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

He looked at the rain outside the window, hoping that a building would come to life from the sky under the guidance of a cat, and then bow down to him.

However, this did not happen.

Instead, the crazy traveler ran back through the wall again.

This time it looked a little disheveled. There were some white bite marks on the wooden pole, and the surface of the stone base also had some purple-brown stains and was stained with a lot of mud, as if it had experienced a great battle and a long run.

Zhou Yi held the wooden pole.

Then his eyes narrowed.

This time, the prosthetic leg also brought back a geometric caveman energy block.

However, this energy block is only the size of a fist, and is in the shape of a regular tetrahedron and a triangular pyramid. It is only an entry-level LV1 light core.

There was a shell solidified inside.

What is this again?
