Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 92: Architectural Life in the Dead Sea

After leaving Building 3, Zhou Yi and Qian Su went all the way to Guangxu Dam.

Jacob worked at window number 221.

The windows over there are now divided into workstations, and each worker has his own number, which matches the window he works at. Each worker works at his own fixed window, and the collection work has become orderly.

It was daytime at this time, but the new humans in Emerald City were no longer afraid to go out during the day and were all busy.

However, Zhou Yi did not find Jacob at window 221.

Qiansu asked a worker nearby.

The other party said, "Jacob was called away by Yuan Tou'er and is on the boat."

By the way, after the dam was built, the two small boats could still be seen from time to time on the Dead Sea.

Zhou Yi didn't ask Yuan Tong what he was doing.

The drone located the target ship. Under the high-definition camera, Yuan Tong was comparing the weights of the two barrels and talking to the person next to him.

The Kestrel lowered its altitude and began to pick up the radio.

"...the output is too low, and this kind of transformation is not feasible. It requires too much technology and experience."

"There's also the issue of risk. Not everyone can be like you, Jacob."

There is a skeleton beside him.

The only difference was that the other party's skull was wrapped in bandages. Unlike the neatly dressed Sun Chonglai, it remained in its natural skeleton state without wearing any clothes.

It took Zhou Yi a while to understand.

Yuan Tong wanted to transform two small reinforced ships and equip them with huge fin-like net bags so as to capture a large amount of soot sand by sailing on the Dead Sea.

However, I encountered continuous setbacks during actual testing.

The wood produced in Changgu Town is not strong enough and tough enough, and it is easy to break and damage. The net bag needs to be deployed by the boat, which is very demanding for the helmsman, and often makes Yuan Tong, an old hand, sweat profusely.

After finally completing the salvage, we weighed the fish and found that it was not as much as the old way of manual fishing.

Jacob, the skeleton, was able to survive in the Dead Sea, so he served as an assistant in the experiment. He climbed to the side of the ship to check the sand fins collected by the ship, and made corrections and recycling at any time.

Yuan Tong wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "Jacob, you are right."

"The surface of the Dead Sea melts snow, and the temperature is lower than on land, which makes many materials brittle... The humidity also makes the soot sand heavier, further increasing the force required for fishing. There is no solution to these problems."

Jacob said nothing.

Yuan Tong added: "There is nothing we can do. The construction of the dam went smoothly in the first month, but I also noticed that some workers were slacking off. This phenomenon was also expected. This also happened in the offshore work I was engaged in in the past..."

"So it's time to further regulate it. After all, the chairman has paid such a high salary, so he can't just sit there and do nothing."

The one-eyed foreman smiled and said, "It's time to set a standard."

"I calculated that each person needs to collect 600g of mushrooms per month, and the salary for 6000 mushrooms can be fully paid. This number is not large. If the basic weight is not reached, the salary will be deducted according to the proportion. If the standard is not met for a long time, the person will be fired."

"Of course, the more you collect, the higher your salary will be. In this way, people like you who are efficient will also see a significant increase in salary, and those who think of getting a salary by cheating will be stopped."

When it comes to the topic of salary, Jacob immediately said: "That's right, that's right! You are right!"

"This is just my personal suggestion. Let's see what the chairman decides in the end. The company has invested so much in the early stage, and we can't let the adverse effects caused by a few people affect the operation of the dam. Most people are working very hard."

Yuan Tong said.

Zhou Yi looked at the remote control screen with a strange expression on his face.

Because Red Falcon's [Bird's Eye View] read something different.

Jacob was thinking at this moment.

——It feels like the Staff of Poseidon is getting weaker and weaker. We must gather an ocean-going ship as soon as possible and reach that place, otherwise the Staff of Poseidon will be completely digested by the alien...

——No, don't give me random orders. Why should I do such a dangerous thing? The salary here is so high, it's more important to go to the Skeleton Bar to have fun! The Skeleton girls over there are super hot!

——Fool, use your broken brain to think! If you get the Staff of Poseidon, you will become a sea lord and have the opportunity to dominate the Dead Sea. What will you have then?
——To dominate the Dead Sea? Being dominated by the Dead Sea is more like it, but I have never heard of a sea lord being able to defeat the Dead Sea.

——Short-sighted!
——I have to get my skull repaired first, to stop you from popping up all the time, saying weird things and scaring other people.

——I am you!
——Then stop arguing, making money is important here.

……

Zhou Yi looked at Jacob and thought he seemed to be suffering from schizophrenia.

It splits into two.

One is the ideal version of Jacob who has great ambitions and wants to obtain the Staff of Poseidon and compete in the Dead Sea.

The other is a lifestyle version of Jacob who just wants to make money, go to bars, and live a life of eating, drinking and having fun.

Zhou Yi left quietly.

In the evening, Jacob arrived at the 31st floor of Emerald City. "Welcome, please come in."

Zhou Yi raised his hand to signal.

The skeleton man Jacob was not naked, but wore a clean black coat, gray pants and a pair of linen shoes. It was obvious that he attached great importance to this visit.

"sit."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "We actually have a skeleton here too, Sun Chonglai, have you seen it?"

"No."

Jacob sat on the chair cautiously, his body involuntarily straightening up: "I've heard that he is the manager of the Mushroom Forest and an old employee of the Wasteland Development Company, but I've never met him."

"You can meet more often and communicate when you have time. There are very few skeletons here."

After a few words of small talk, Zhou Yi asked, "Is there a voice in your head?"

Jacob was shocked: "You know?"

"I've heard of similar things before."

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa and looked at the skeleton: "When did this happen?"

"Actually, I don't know too much."

Jacob touched his bandaged head and said, "When I woke up, I was on land outside Sand Harbor. My memories were all confused. I didn't even know who broke my head, but I did remember some fragments of the Dead Sea."

"I seem to have been a sailor in the Dead Sea. Sometimes I was on a boat on the surface, and sometimes I dived to the bottom of the sea, looking for something, probably treasure hunting."

"But those fragments are so fragmented that they can't be connected. I don't know where I came from, and no one in Sand Harbor knows me..."

Listening to its confession, Zhou Yi also used the Kestrel's [Bird's Eye View] to read its thoughts.

——He must be coveting the Staff of Poseidon and wants you to tell him.

——Don't be taken advantage of.

——Only I am truly doing this for your own good. I am you, and no one else can possibly care about you as much as I do.

——But it doesn't matter if we tell him. If the Staff of Poseidon was so easy to get, it would have been taken by various sea lords long ago. Without us, they can't contact the Staff of Poseidon.

……

The one who is speaking is the real-life version of Jacob, while the ideal version of Jacob continues to exert influence in the heart.

Zhou Yi looked at the skeleton in front of him: "I am not very interested in the Staff of Poseidon you mentioned. I heard that the Staff of Poseidon is being devoured by a special alien. I am very interested in the Dead Sea alien."

Jacob was stunned: "You...you also know that place?"

"Just heard."

Zhou Yi extended an invitation: "Would you like to cooperate with me?"

"If you help me find the alien, I will help you rescue the Staff of Poseidon. I will provide you with a sum of money for locating and searching, and the company will also assist you..."

The skeleton was stunned.

Various thoughts flashed through its mind.

——I can’t agree to that!
—This is a trap, no doubt about it…

"That's great! I really want to work with a strong person like you! I've been waiting for such an opportunity!"

However, Jacob, who was enjoying himself, spoke faster than he thought, and happily agreed.

——Fool, idiot!!! Go to hell, there is no hope!

Zhou Yi tried hard to hold back and avoid laughing.

He immediately handed a light box to the skeleton: "Here are 50 light seeds, enough to buy a small reinforced ship. This is my sponsorship to you."

When Jacob saw the real money going into his pocket, he immediately said, "Please rest assured, what I said is absolutely worth the money."

"In the fragments of my memory, the Staff of Poseidon is an extremely powerful weapon. It can move freely in the Dead Sea. The enemy will be destroyed without even seeing it."

Zhou Yi nodded.

It sounds like a hidden heavy artillery in the sea.

But then again, the building life that was able to capture the Staff of Poseidon and almost eat it is obviously stronger.

Zhou Yi’s goal is the latter.

"The alien that grabbed the Staff of Poseidon is very special and terrifying... It has many bloody mouths and an almost endless desire to eat. The most incredible thing is that it does not sleep in the Dead Sea, but hunts everywhere on the sea surface."

Jacob's words aroused Zhou Yi's interest even more.

Architectural life navigating the Dead Sea.

Is it also a floating island? Traveling around the Dead Sea with the help of the Shit Mountain Code?
