Wasteland Development Diary

Xiaofu was very enthusiastic about converting the Fireseed lifeform.

"As long as the Poseidon isn't broken, it can be used. Its hull integrates the [Halo Well] and [Circumfluence Instrument] functions. We can operate it."

Under Zhou Yi's command, the Poseidon hovered above the dying Baili Gong.

He touched the outer wall of the submarine and activated the [Halo Well] inside.

In the disc-shaped scanning area, four fire clusters appeared.

Two fire clusters connected by a fire line were the Red Falcon and the Poseidon, representing their consciousness-linked state. The third was Sea Hunter; its flame was significantly smaller, indicating insufficient accumulation in the consciousness domain.

The fourth fire cluster was the most vigorous and bright, larger in scale than the others, belonging to Baili Gong.

Xiaofu praised, "A good Fireseed, very suitable for conversion into a Fireseed lifeform."

Zhou Yi noticed that there were differences in the fire seedling forms.

The Red Falcon's dual fire seedlings were not large in scale, but the flame color was pure and uniform.

Sea Hunter's fire seedling color was mottled.

Baili Gong's flame color was not as good as the Red Falcon's, but its strength lay in its large size.

Xiaofu explained, "These are also the two indicators of the [Halo Well]."

"Brightness represents the depth of consciousness information. A bright Fireseed can be understood as having a high level of expertise in certain fields. The volume represents the total amount of its consciousness information. The larger the Fireseed, the more information it has accumulated."

Zhou Yi immediately understood.

The Red Falcon was a rescue aircraft with profound attainments in the rescue profession.

Baili Gong was a territorial sea overlord who had access to a vast amount of information.

Xiaofu reminded, "Let's convert it first; otherwise, it will die soon."

So Zhou Yi activated the [Circumfluence Instrument] again.

This circumfluence device was made up of numerous intertwined light rays, with a light bulb covered in longitude and latitude lines as its core terminal.

He pointed the Circumfluence Instrument at Baili Gong.

Numerous electric sparks窜 out from the light bulb, wrapping Baili Gong in layers of light cocoon.

The light cocoon gradually cracked and stretched, eventually turning into a thin light sheet, which was captured by the [Circumfluence Instrument].

This consumed nearly 3,000 points of energy from the No. 2 mech.

Xiaofu said, "Now you can adjust its size and fix it anywhere. We, the Reversers, usually install it on our own mech, which makes it convenient to read and call upon at any time."

Zhou Yi thought for a moment, then used the Circumfluence Instrument to imprint the light sheet on his left shoulder.

Instantly, a very small silver triangle appeared on his shoulder skin. Its base had two parallel lines, shaped like a small rocket taking off. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was an electronic tattoo made by some tech company.

Now Zhou Yi could read Baili Gong at any time.

The process was similar to switching to the No. 2 mech.

It's just that Xiaofu was fixed as a backup system in the system disk, while Baili Gong was purely an external hard drive.

The consciousness key connection was complete.

Zhou Yi saw that he was standing in darkness, with a large transparent container shaped like a vacuum tube in front of him. The container was a double helix structure made up of consciousness keys, with black and white colors slowly rotating and chasing each other, constantly extending into the distance. A tiny humanoid creature clad in heavy armor walked alone within it.

This was the memory core.

"Baili Gong."

Zhou Yi greeted, leaning against the transparent container.

The little life inside looked around, "Who... who?"

It quickly reacted, "Zhou Yi?"

Zhou Yi sank into the memory core, and the next second, he appeared on the internal spiral structure.

However, unlike being inside his own memory core, he could move and select his position at will.

But to connect the consciousness key with the other party, the other party's consent was still needed.

Zhou Yi's sudden appearance shocked Baili Gong's small eyes. "Where is this place? How am I here? Am I dead? Who exactly are you..."

"You're not dead. Lucky you."

Zhou Yi said, "This is your memory core, which records the information of each life, and can be understood as your self-consciousness space."

Baili Gong asked, "Is this my genetic seed??"

Zhou Yi gave a surprised 'eh'.

The genetic seed and the memory core were very similar.

"Xiaofu."

"Here!"

The No. 2 mech immediately explained, "The genetic seed is only one component of the memory core. It is the 'inner rail' in the consciousness key, which is the part of self-cognition, but it can no longer be further extended and evolved."

"The information it retains can only continuously cycle through past records in a limited area."

"But the complete memory core includes the inner rail, outer rail, and life core. The inner and outer rails exchange internal and external information through the consciousness key, which is then recorded into the life core. This constitutes the life's consciousness movement."

"The Fireseed lifeform after Circumfluence transformation can completely retain the memory core form. As long as consciousness information is input into it, it can continue to operate. In other words, they have simply switched to another form of survival."

"A large number of Fireseed lifeforms connect with each other to form a huge consciousness cluster. They use consciousness keys for ultra-high-speed exchange and produce new consciousness information. This is the Fireseed civilization. The Fireseed civilization is the Circumfluence technology system created by us Reversers, so the most important thing at present is..."

Xiaofu spoke volubly and endlessly.

Zhou Yi had directly locked him in the small black room.

As long as this kid talked about the Reversers, he would blabla non-stop, always unable to help but boast.

Zhou Yi told Baili Gong, "You are now in a memory core state..."

The territorial sea overlord on the consciousness key was stunned, "This... there is such power."

"You need to control my memory core?"

"No, I need you as my source of information."

Zhou Yi corrected, "Only if you open the consciousness key connection can I call upon the various information in this memory core from you. You can also refuse."

"If I refuse, will you kill me?"

"Guess."

"..."

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"I'll cooperate."

Baili Gong made the safest choice, opening the consciousness key under its feet outward.

Zhou Yi returned to the external perspective.

At this moment, a light ray extended to the left and right of the memory core, making it more like an electronic component.

The Fireseed lifeform was already in a connectable and callable state.

Zhou Yi began to try.

"Baili Gong, your age."

"From the time I was conscious, it has been 304 years."

"What food do you like?"

"Shells, chicken."

"Do you have a partner?"

This time the response was delayed for a moment.

"I had a partner for cooperative reproduction, but later my light seed was stolen by it and its whereabouts are unknown."

Zhou Yi hissed in his heart.

Miserable.

No wonder the other party didn't want to answer.

After some running-in and attempts, Zhou Yi understood. Calling upon the Fireseed lifeform was like entering relevant words on an external hard drive, which could obtain a large amount of related information feedback.

This information acquisition was quick and convenient, and he could even immerse himself in part of Baili Gong's memory scenes, like a first-person movie.

Only some privacy information, such as Baili Gong's ex-wife running away with the money, which it didn't want to face, would cause some delays, only giving simple information, with no details displayed.

Zhou Yi understood.

Even the territorial sea overlord has past events that he doesn't want to recall.

At this point, the first Fireseed lifeform, Baili Gong, was debugged and in good condition.

No wonder Xiaofu often boasted about how amazing this technology was. To be fair, the Reverser's ability was indeed useful.

...

Zhou Yi rode the Spine Hunter back to above Shell City.

The Emerald City's Four Great Vajras had completed the initial demolition work, directly leveling the entire city wall to the ground. As a result, the houses, streets, and various buildings inside were exposed in the dark night.

One must keep one's word; demolition must be carried out when said.

However, since the chief culprit had been eliminated, there was no need to destroy the city.

Baili Gong had escaped, and its soldiers were nowhere to be seen. However, there were still many New Humans who remained in place, choosing to stand on the side of Emerald City. However, these people also seemed a little at a loss, and even the slightest noise made them panic.

Zhou Yi announced through the Spine Hunter.

"The chief culprit, Baili Gong, has been eliminated."

"I regret to disturb the residents of Shell City. I hope everyone has a wonderful night."

"Finally, Emerald City, a wasteland development company, sincerely welcomes everyone's visit and residence in the Sandbar area."

"Live in Emerald City, and you won't be afraid day or night."

After reciting the advertising slogan, Zhou Yi began to reorganize the team.

He brought along the residents of Shell City who were willing to follow, letting them temporarily live in the empty rooms of Building 4, and then carried away the spoils found in the sea.

Emerald City returned to the Wyvern Bay base in an orderly fashion, with one large and three small.

The war in the Sandbar area came to an end.

Although Shell City was also good, the wasteland development company's public base and industry were all in Mao Valley Town.

It was more reliable to improve the existing base camp than to fiddle with an unfamiliar exclave.

As the submarine base slowly sailed into the Dead Sea, the expeditionary force began its journey home.
