Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 441: Success in Land Reclamation

Curling also knows a lot about the snowman in the glass palace.

"Chairman, the strength of that void has reached the level of a transmuter. I can't get close to it."

"All that can be observed is the snowman walking around in the glass building."

The employee who returned from Mars said: "I consulted the two light cores of the Star Hub. They said that the creature should not be made of snow or ice. It conducts electricity and electric cats can pass through it."

"It's just that the temperature in that area is very low, below -260 degrees Celsius."

"They also cannot get close to the void, but the void's external impact is obvious."

"The area below is shrouded by the power of the void, dust storms cannot approach, and the Dead Sea and radiation are also severely contained. That's why Xingshu chose that place as the base camp to build the base."

Zhou Yi frowned.

It is a white low-temperature solid that is not a snowflake, and it is also a conductor. I have never seen such a creature before.

"What are the origins of the two light cores of Xingshu?"

Curling said: "Of the two I contacted, one is a survey telescope - or part of the Old King. It connects to satellites and provides us with a lot of local intelligence through ultra-long-range observations of the conditions on Mars."

Zhou Yi asked: "The photonuclear body of electromechanical life?"

"Yes."

Curling added: "The other one is Alonzo. He was originally a skeleton and participated in the world war in which the United Resistance Army fought against the Celestials."

"When fighting against the Light Nuclear Giant, the satellite Alonzo was on launched signal interference and consciousness shock, but it also became entangled with the consciousness of the Light Nuclear Giant..."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but interrupt: "Alonzo is a skeleton, how did he enter the satellite again?"

"That's right, Chairman."

The atmospheric creature elaborated: "In the early days, Xingshu absorbed new members by using the light-printed rocket to propel the old king's Shenzhou manned spacecraft and send the selected skeletons into the old king's body."

"This method is extremely expensive, and there is also the risk of rocket launch failure or even crash. Therefore, at that time, the skeletons who could be sent into space were the elite among the elites of the Star Hub voters."

"After entering the old king's Tiangong space station, these skeletons will participate in the most core matrix operations and accept the old king's direct guidance. They are also the first data voters to transform and control their respective satellites to fight against the light nuclear giants."

"During the war, Alonzo and the Light Nuclear Giant became entangled in consciousness, and the satellite and the Light Nuclear Giant remained relatively stationary in orbit. Sometimes the Light Nuclear Giant controlled the satellite, and sometimes the satellite controlled the giant."

"This kind of situation was common at the time. Usually, the satellite would end up in chaos and self-destruct, and could only rely on continuously increasing the number of data voters to maintain signal stability and independent consciousness."

"But Alonzo is an exception."

Curling said: "I don't know what happened, but it merged directly with the Light Nuclear Giant, and the satellite and the giant became two sides of the same coin. Alonzo took the Light Nuclear Giant and flew all the way to the outer space, as far away from the satellite group and the earth as possible."

"After running out of energy, Alonzo fell to the nearest Mars. After the war ended, the old king found Alonzo's signal and found that he was in a mountain on Mars, just below the hole. It was the safest place, and the Light Core Giant was also the most stable there."

Zhou Yi listened carefully.

There is such a story behind the development of Mars.

He further confirmed: "So, Alonzo has actually become a light core giant now?"

"Yes."

Curling said: "Its main responsibility there is to defend the camp and send the collected light seeds to Earth."

"But Alonzo himself does not cross the boundary. He uses his giant arm to carry the light box and sends it through the channel. Someone will be there to pick it up on the Earth side."

Zhou Yi had an outline of the Mars base in his mind.

Under the cave, the light core giant acted as the Star Hub Camp. That place was the territory of the Golden Elephant herdsmen, and even the celestial beings could not set foot there.

That's a good thing.

Zhou Yi pulled back his thoughts: "Tell me about our situation over there."

"Pikachu will report to you on this matter."

After the curling stone finished speaking, a ball of electric arc shot out from its body and landed on Zhou Yi's shoulder.

"Chairman, Pikachu has completed the mission."

"During this Mars mission, none of our eight electric cats were injured or killed, and we have established preliminary cooperative relations with some of the Martian electric cats."

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows: "How did you do it?"

The electric cats made a crackling sound, which meant they were laughing.

"We were led by Mr. Curling to the Star Hub Base and learned the basic situation of the area. Then we found a local dust storm near the base and jumped into it."

"When we first entered, we were all very nervous, but fortunately it was safer and more stable than we thought, with very high voltage, and it is a high-quality high-energy live environment."

"The high-speed friction between dust particles in a dust storm can cause charge transfer, making the particles charged. The extremely dry and thin atmosphere is conducive to the accumulation of static electricity, which is not easy to dissipate."

The electric cat said vividly: "We met the local electric cats inside. On the other side of the base, Mr. Curling and Mr. Alonzo used local sand to refine glass and built a crooked house, a cat house and an electrolytic cat box."

Zhou Yi asked: "Electrolyzing the cat box requires water. Did you find water on Mars?"

"It's over there!"

Pikachu said: "There are ice caps at both the north and south poles of Mars, with a lot of water ice and dry ice. Mr. Curling went there and brought back a lot of ice to make electrolytic cat boxes, but the chemicals such as hydrogen produced cannot be collected and can only dissipate naturally."

"The key is that cat houses and electrolytic cat boxes are living equipment that electric cats like. The local Martian electric cats don't have these things, so we invite them to come and experience them."

“Some of them followed us and immediately became fascinated by our packages.”

"I said that if they work with us, we will provide them with independent cat houses, electrolytic cat boxes for playing and relaxing, and the opportunity to become official electric cats of the company, so that they can enjoy a better living environment in our world."

"In that dust storm, 21 electric cats helped us collect the flowing light seeds rolled up by the dust storm. In this month, we collected 110 million light seeds." Pikachu happily took credit: "Chairman, after splitting it equally with Xingshu, the company will have 55 light seeds! This is still a small dust storm. If we collect medium-sized and large dust storms, or even global dust storms, the profits will be terrifying!"

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

Things are going better on Mars than expected, and the profitability of mineral development alone is quite astonishing.

What he was more concerned about was: "Mars Electric Cats are so easily persuaded? Why does it feel different from the Spark Plains?"

“Chairman, you see the point!”

Pikachu seemed to have hit the nail on the head, and said proudly: "The electric cats on Spark Plains are all low-voltage, high-current types. They have a high birth rate and a huge number. They have high requirements for the power environment and large transmission losses."

"The company's working cat is high voltage and low current, good at long-distance transmission and running, with lower requirements for conductors and high intelligence. The biggest disadvantage is the low birth rate."

"The Martian electric cats belong to the same family as us. The Martian environment is only suitable for electric cats like us who can transmit and run over long distances. Otherwise, we won't be able to jump into other dust storms before the dust storm dissipates."

"The electric cats over there are smart, and most of them have lived for hundreds of years. They can distinguish the information we give and the quality of the things we give, and it is very easy to communicate with them."

Electric Cat's whole body was filled with electric arcs, and he said lightly, "Chairman, can this method of finding local partners continue? This is beneficial to the development of the Martian dust storm, but we need to give the Martian Electric Cat the opportunity to become a formal employee of the company."

"Just do it. The company will give you a quota."

Zhou Yi stated on the spot: "As long as they are excellent electric cats, regardless of their origin and level, the company will accept them. They can overcome the harsh environment of Mars, which means they have strong stress resistance and adaptability, which are also qualities that the company values very much."

"It's great that you agree!"

Pikachu's body was crackling with arcs of electricity, and he laughed again.

"Chairman, there is a very good guy among the Martian electric cats. His name is Ninety-Seven. He is very good at collecting light seeds in dust storms. This time, more than 30% of the light seeds were collected by him alone."

"With Mr. Curling's permission, I brought it to us. I highly recommend it to you!"

Another arc of electricity appeared in the golden ball of the curling stone.

Unlike Pikachu, the electric cat in front of you has two arc structures shaped like triangular ears. Under the cat's head is a vortex of electric current, which looks like a small lightning tornado.

Zhou Yi reached out and moved closer to it.

The opponent first subconsciously took a step back, then hesitated for a moment, slowly came over, and made contact with Zhou Yi's hand with the electric arc.

Energy is input and consciousness is activated at the same frequency.

"Hello Ninety-Seven, I'm Zhou Yi. I heard about your situation from Pikachu. Welcome to the company."

"It is an honor to be received by you, the master of this place."

The Martian electric cat's voice is very polite.

Zhou Yi got straight to the point: "I would like to invite you to join our wasteland development company. If you are willing, you will receive all the benefits of the company's employees. Working electric cats will enjoy free medical care, at least two rounds of intensive training, independent cat houses, electrolytic cat boxes and floating generators. If you can invent something, you will receive long-term patent dividends..."

He talked about the benefits of the company's employees.

"Very willing to!"

Martian Electric Cat said: "I came here to see what the other world is like. Mr. Curling brought me here, and I found that I can run around here without worrying about the disappearance of the dust storm and the threat of death."

"There are conductors everywhere, it's very comfortable, and there's nothing to worry about."

"I like it here. I hope to go back to my hometown and tell my fellow people there everything about it."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "No problem. But before that, take a rest first."

"You've all been busy at work for a month. According to the company's vacation policy, you should take an eight-day break first. During these few days, you can go for a walk and let Pikachu accompany you. If you have any questions or want to know something, just ask it."

"Yes, thank you."

Pikachu also said: "Leave it to me! I'll take you around!"

"Mining on Mars is very hard, so you should take a break first. Work hard when you are working, and have fun when you are playing. This is life."

Zhou Yi waved his hand.

Ninety-seven didn't fly far before it turned into a ball of lightning and flashed back.

"Chairman, actually, we on Mars...are left alone. There is someone controlling us behind the scenes."

Zhou Yi was not surprised: "Golden Elephant Herders?"

"You knew they existed? Is that their name?"

The electric cat was surprised.

"We have traces of them here too." Zhou Yi told the other party, "But they seem to have left a long time ago, and I haven't seen them either."

"Chairman, their voices can still be heard on Mars."

Martian Electric Cat said very seriously.

Zhou Yi's heart trembled: "What are they talking about?"

"They said..."

The Martian electric cat said: "You guys can make a scene all you want, I won't serve you anymore!"

"..."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Did the Golden Elephant herder get tired of the electric cats and just abandon them and run away?
