Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 515 Okay, okay, you were the first to do this!
Li Mo and Tengu stood at the foot of the Emerald City Tower.

This is the first time they have come here on their own initiative.

Step into the elevator.

The elevator made a slight operating sound.

Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and asked the mountain dog next to him: "Big Dog, do you think our project will be approved this time?"

Tengu uttered a sound.

"It should be okay, right? Our stuff this time is not bad, the company didn't have it before."

“It must be something good.”

Li Mo was a little worried: "I mean our team members, their identities are quite sensitive... We took in two mutants, but we only reported it now. The chairman will definitely be angry."

"If there is a penalty, we will resist it together. Then we will ask the chairman to be lenient..."

Tengu said this, but his eyes looked a little dazed.

“I hope that this time the merits and demerits can be balanced out.”

Li Mo scratched his head.

The elevator dinged and arrived at the top floor.

Li Mo and Tengu came to the door of 3101 together.

The door is open.

The two looked inside and seemed to see no one.

Li Mo knocked on the door.

A white-haired woman in nun's clothes walked out of the room.

It's Ryoko.

“Are you looking for the chairman?”

Li Mo nodded.

"That'll have to wait a moment. The chairman has gone to the school to visit the students. The chairman said that if anyone from his side comes to see him, he'll let you in and sit down."

Ryoko was talking.

Li Mo and Tiangou looked at each other and saw each other's shock.

Did the chairman even foresee that they would come?
Also.

Li Mo thought of it immediately.

No one else in the company could get close to what was happening in Yalong Bay, but the chairman certainly knew everything.

In other words, the chairman already knew about the Qian brothers’ affairs.

According to this statement... it shouldn't be a big deal? Otherwise, he would have scolded me and Tengu a long time ago, or even kicked me out of the company.

He thought so in his heart.

Li Mo asked again: "Ms. Liangzi, is there anything going on in school recently?"

Ryoko casually said, "We have recently established a cooperative relationship with the three major sea people gangs. They sent some sea people children to study at Mushroom Forest Primary School. I don't know if this is the case. It will take time for the new sea people children to integrate into the school environment."

Li Mo was shocked: "The company is going to enter the Dead Sea in full force?"

"The chairman didn't say."

Ryoko lowered her voice and said, "But it looks like it."

Ninety percent of the world is covered by the Dead Sea, and it is an environment that cannot be avoided.

The company took the initiative to contact the Dead Sea local snakes, the Sea People Gang, and gathered their strength, undoubtedly in preparation for the development of deep-sea areas.

Various thoughts flashed through Li Mo's mind.

if it is like this.

Then the things produced by our group of people will become more valuable!

About an hour later.

The Master of the Emerald City appeared at the door.

"Oh? It's Li Mo and Tengu? How's the progress over there recently?"

The black-haired young man asked in a relaxed tone.

Li Mo immediately stood up and said politely: "Chairman, we have made some progress. But before that, please allow me to admit a mistake to you."

"tell me the story."

The other person sat on the sofa with a calm expression.

"Chairman, we have taken in two mutants."

Li Mo did not dare to hide anything and told the whole story in detail.

The rest of the company was booming, and Li Mo and Tiangou were not to be outdone. They began to expand their team. More hands and brains would produce new things.

Chairman Zhou Yi approved this application very early on.

Li Mo and Tiangou found three people.

One is a glass fort craftsman who moved to Shagang, named Zhu Fang. He is 30 years old and experienced, with more than ten years of experience in firing glass.

The second is a C-level material engineer recruited by Recursive City, Aneso A4. It is a desktop composite material 3D printer.

The last one is the octopus Yuk, a good friend of Beach, the director of the Medical and Bone Laboratory, and also a silver medalist alchemist who studies the life support system in the Dead Sea environment.

Yuke retired from the Taoist society early due to illness.

After the organ repair surgery, it needed long-term observation and regular review, so it simply settled in the Mushroom House Community in Emerald City. Li Mo asked Biqi to help lobby, and Youke readily agreed to join.

With sufficient manpower, Li Mo and the Tengu team have significantly improved the development progress of existing material applications.

"Chairman, we have tried to increase the endurance of the Goblet of Fire. A floating heart can do that, but it is not easy to carry, and it also needs to be refueled and sugared, and the cost is more than 10 light species, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Li Mo talked about his thoughts: "So we need to find a portable alternative. Tengu and I both think that the stone exfoliation of architectural life is the best."

"Stone slough is a renewable resource that can continue to radiate heat for decades. As long as it is cut and packaged and made small enough, it can power the Goblet of Fire."

“But the actual operation is much more difficult than the theory.”

"When we were doing experiments in the Dead Sea and they kept failing, we encountered two mutants. They sensed the radiation from the Stone Slough, so they came over. We thought they were our own kind."

Li Mo carefully observed Zhou Yi's expression.

The other party looked normal.

Li Mo felt relieved a little, as it seemed the chairman knew about this.

"These two mutants are brothers, the elder one is Qian Ping, and the younger one is Qian An. They escaped from the Freedom Army." "Mutant rebels?" The chairman frowned.

"Yes."

Li Mo said quickly: "But they are both ordinary E-class mutants, and they are engineers in the Freedom Army. They were blacksmiths at first, but later they accumulated debts due to poor management, and were captured to do mutant experiments to pay off their debts."

"When the Free Army passed by that city, they received help and joined the Free Army. Later, their army was defeated in a battle, and they became deserters, wandering to the floating island and hiding. They lived in seclusion not far from us."

"They used stone sloughs before. They said the Free Army had been using them and had already mastered the method of cutting and utilizing them. The Qian brothers taught us this technique."

"You were away on a business trip at the time, and seeing their outstanding abilities, I dared to keep them temporarily, let them work in our team, and forbade them to leave the workshop in Yalong Bay."

The chairman drank tea and listened quietly.

Li Mo took out an item from Tengu's backpack and placed it on the table.

"Look, Chairman. This is the Stone Slough Flame Goblet we made."

The chairman set his sights on new tools.

Li Mo introduced: "It is square, a small stove built with soot, with a stone shell placed inside, the size of which is 22*22*23mm."

He opened the two outer covers on the stove, revealing a small square stone fragment fixed in a metal groove and embedded in the soot.

"By stimulating the light soot through the stone slough, it can release heat to the outside and can be used right after opening the lid."

"This structure is simple and effective. The Free Army has been using it for heating. However, they usually place it in a lead box to create a stove-like effect."

Li Mo noticed that there was finally a hint of interest in the chairman's eyes.

He immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Because the stone exfoliation inventory will continue to increase, the stone exfoliation flame cup we made can be used as an effective tool for field operations."

"It is light and easy to carry. Even if it is turned on all the time, it can burn for at least five years, which is enough to provide heating and boil water."

The chairman's eyes suddenly fixed: "Does it have any requirements for the external environment?"

"There are no requirements. It doesn't need to be in the Dead Sea. It won't be affected by the outside environment."

"What about on Mars and the Moon?"

Li Mo was stunned.

He originally wanted to say that it was okay.

But in the end he still maintained restraint: "This is related to the extraterrestrial environment. We need to go there for field testing to confirm it. But because its mechanism is very simple, it is powered by thermal radiation from the lithosphere, the soot layer is used as a heat transfer medium, and the outside is a protective shell to prevent burns from improper operation."

"In the end, the heat release effect of the Goblet of Fire was achieved, but the energy supply process was changed."

The chairman's face turned serious: "What's the cost?"

"According to the size of the stone shedding we need, even the smallest stone shedding currently produced by Emerald City can be cut into 40 stone shedding heat sources."

"it is good."

The chairman smiled approvingly: "So, you want to keep the Qian brothers?"

"if you can……"

Li Mo said: "Without them, there would be no such stone sludge cutting technology. After cutting, although the energy utilization rate will be reduced, it will also be safer to use. This stone sludge heat source has a wide range of applications."

"Then they will do their work over there."

The chairman was as straightforward as ever: "I'll leave their management to you and Tengu. Before the stripping operation is completed, let them stay in Yalong Bay's body temporarily to prevent radiation from affecting ordinary people."

"Yes!"

Li Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but glance at the Tengu next to him.

As soon as this partner entered the room, his eyes were blank, and it was unclear whether he was in a daze or pretending to be stupid.

Oh shit!

I still have to face the pressure from the chairman.

We agreed before that we would shoulder the burden together, but when he saw the chairman, this bastard, he was completely speechless!

Li Mo felt a little disappointed.

Okay, okay, you were the first to do this!
He came up with an idea: "Chairman, Tengu has something else to report to you."

"Oh?"

The chairman turned his gaze towards the Tengu next to him.

Tengu trembled all over and finally panicked: "That... I... I..."

It stuttered for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Finally, Tiangou gritted his teeth and arched his claws, saying, "Chairman, I wish you a happy new year!"

"..."

Even the chairman was embarrassed and his face turned stiff.

"..."

Lantern Festival is silent.

Ryoko was silent.

Li Mo felt like he couldn't bear it anymore.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "In fact, apart from this one, we have another breakthrough. Although it is not as mature and easy as the Stone Slough Flame Goblet, it has also undergone multiple rounds of testing."

Originally, this project was to be reported to the chairman after the conditions and technology were prepared and mature, in order to obtain more resources.

But the current situation is really... this is the only way to save it.

Li Mo paused and said: "We have created the 'Dead Sea Work Suit'. Even ordinary humans can wear it to work in the Dead Sea. Whether it is walking, digging, carrying, measuring, or surveying, there will be no problem."

The chairman opposite suddenly turned serious.

"Confirmed to be available?"

"Available."

Li Mo nodded: "It's just that the process is more complicated and the cost is not low."

"Then go do the Dead Sea test now."

The chairman said in an unquestionable tone: "Let me see what the effect is."

"Yes."

Li Mo glanced at the Tengu next to him.

Tengu looked sullen and lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye.
