Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi stood on the metal deck of the Zhanjiang Bay No. 1.

After washing and cleaning, it was much cleaner and tidier, and all 12 breeding areas were stocked with shellfish and bonefish fry.

Black Hand Mushrooms, shaped like children, were patrolling and working one by one.

Some were feeding grass, mushrooms, and seaweed, some were cleaning the deck with shovels, brushes, and burlap, and some were working together to pull up the thick ropes sunk into the breeding area to check the growth of the shells in each scallop cage.

The Black Hand Mushrooms all had safety ropes tied around their waists, fixed to various buckles and railings on the platform. This was also following Yuan Tong's safety protection techniques to avoid accidentally falling into the Dead Sea while working.

There were also several human breeding workers. They had all come from Shellfish City before and had done this work before.

The lower half of the breeding platform was submerged in the misty Dead Sea and currents, but the water in the square breeding area was very clear, and the mist was dispelled, so you could see the situation in the water at a glance. This was obviously a function of Zhanjiang Bay No. 1 itself.

Zheng Tao, wearing a fisherman's hat, held a thermos cup and said, "Everything is going smoothly here. The operation itself is not difficult. We just buy fish fry and shellfish from Sandport and put them here. The weapon masters enter the Dead Sea and help us collect a lot of seaweed."

"The fish fry are cultivated with chicken bones, and the specific technology is completely controlled by the Sand Sea Duke. These fish fry occasionally move, but the survival rate is not high. We used four breeding areas to raise fish and invested a lot of fish fry. So far, we have only raised 17 bonefish in a month."

Zhou Yi was not surprised. If it were so easy to obtain a large number of bonefish, Duke Baili would have been richer than a country.

"That's already good, take your time."

The shellfish farming area was near the helipad at the bow of the ship, while the fish farming area was at the stern.

There was no difference in appearance.

Zhou Yi looked into the well of the breeding area, and several small creatures with bone structures were swimming in the water.

Compared to the wild bonefish he had seen, they looked much smaller, but they were also quieter and didn't like to burrow underground as much as wild bonefish.

Zhou Yi asked Zheng Tao, "If we don't close or block the light here, won't the bonefish jump out?"

"No, Chairman. You'll know when you see it."

Zheng Tao grabbed a fishing rod with a thick fishing line from the shelf next to him, took a white shell from the deck bucket, tied it to the fishing line as bait, and threw it into the well of the breeding area.

A bonefish swam over immediately and bit the shell.

Then Zheng Tao easily pulled it up and threw it into an empty bucket.

This bonefish looked only the size of a palm. It bit the shell and swallowed it bit by bit. Then it spat out the fishing line, lay in the bucket, basking in the sun, looking indifferent.

"The bonefish raised on the platform are like this."

Zheng Tao smiled on his face: "At first, Sun Zhonglai and I were worried that they would be difficult to manage, but after trying it, we found that it was unnecessary. They grow up from fish fry in the breeding platform, and their aggressiveness is very weak. As long as you feed them bones and shells, they are very docile and lazy."

"As long as you don't deliberately attack them repeatedly, they are very obedient because they think there will be food."

Zhou Yi hissed in his heart.

The domestication of this farmed bonefish was ridiculously fast.

Zhanjiang Bay No. 1 has a huge effect.

"Don't look at them like this, they still have light seeds." Zheng Tao pointed to the fish in the bucket: "If you need it, you can directly collect the light seeds now."

Zhou Yi thought for a while.

In the past, he started with wild bonefish and obtained light seeds by leaving the head and removing the tail. But today is different from the past. Zhanjiang Bay No. 1 can directly raise bonefish with fish fry and shells, so the thinking needs to be adjusted accordingly.

Zhou Yi said: "Currently, we don't rely on the breeding platform to generate income. The shells are also used to supply the growth of bonefish. The main focus is still on exploring and improving the yield of bonefish. Don't be stressed, take your time."

"Yes, Chairman."

Zheng Tao poured the bonefish from the bucket back into the breeding area, and said, "In fact, this initial stage has been very smooth. Zhanjiang Bay No. 1 comes with the basic framework for breeding. All we have to do is explore and make better use of it."

"The dam highway you asked Emerald City to build before was really far-sighted. With this safe passage connecting Emerald City and Zhanjiang Bay No. 1, cars can pass on it, people can walk inside the dam, and it can also shelter from wind, rain, and danger."

"Now, the mushroom forest can transport mushrooms, and the farmland can transport grain back and forth through the dam."

Zhou Yi looked at the long dam next to him.

He was also quite satisfied with this project.

To get rich, build roads first.

In his era, this concept was basically deeply rooted in people's hearts. In fact, it is true that convenient transportation can make the flow of people and goods efficient and fast.

So after Zhou Yi came back, he operated Emerald City to further extend the light dam, all the way from the west along the coastline of the Dead Sea to the south.

This was the first highway built by Waste Land Development Company, with a total length of 15.2 kilometers, and it took 21 days to complete.

Manufacturing housing bodies for paving roads is very simple. But what takes time and effort is leveling the road surface. Zhou Yi and Emerald City repeatedly debugged, and finally chose the paving method of overlapping double-layer housing bodies up and down to ensure that the road surface was stable enough.

The key is to be able to pass cars.

Zhou Yi had previously seized three disassembled Mechanized Marauder cars. Under the guidance of Red Falcon, Yuan Tong asked Qian Su to help repair them, and successfully repaired two of them. The last one was too damaged and needed major repairs, so it was put on hold.

They were restored to their most primitive tool state, just with light-printed structures that could absorb the dead light in nature.

The two cars each have a starting method.

One of them uses the brake as a start and acceleration, and the accelerator as a brake, which is rebellious.

The other one is slightly more complicated, requiring frantically turning the steering wheel a few times to activate it, like some kind of hand-cranked engine.

They were added with trailer carriages, so they could both transport goods and pick up workers, becoming the company's earliest two shuttle buses. They are currently running well.

Zhou Yi and Zheng Tao continued to talk about fish farming, and a shuttle bus slowly stopped at the platform outside.

With the support of Mayor Chen Jiadong, Duke Sand Sea, wearing a斗篷 (dòupeng) cloak, walked down the carriage staggeringly, looking a little breathless.

Red Falcon had already located them.

Zhou Yi also greeted him very politely and said, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, you should rest more. If there is anything, I will come back and talk about it, there is no need to run so far."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I've been lying down for a month, it's time to move around."

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ Jiǔ Shū Bā (69shu)!

Duke Sand Sea wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

This Duke Sand Sea stands up like an upright sea leopard, with a black and shiny nose and long whiskers. It is about two meters tall, its body skin is smooth brown and white, its upper limbs are thick, its claws are wide and powerful, and it walks with a lot of momentum.

"After I woke up, I learned that Duke Baili is dead?"

Zhou Yi nodded.

"Then I am relieved, thanks to you." Duke Sand Sea said with a smile.

Zhou Yi also obtained some relevant information about this Sea Lord from Zheng Tao and Red Falcon.

Usually, the Sea Lord will play the role of an absolute authority, hiding behind the scenes of the city, and implementing his will through the mayor or magistrate.

Duke Sand Sea took a different approach. It took the initiative to step to the front, regularly went to Sandport City to inspect and comfort people, such as ordering the distribution of food to hungry humans, or upholding justice and punishing evil for some people with grievances... Of course, these were mainly for show to enhance its prestige and support rate.

Originally, the Sea Lord did not have to do these things, but Duke Sand Sea has been tirelessly managing its own approachable image, and has already won many peers.

Therefore, in the mouths of the residents of the Sandport area, the reputation of this Sea Lord has always been very good. Before Emerald City appeared, people here wanted to desperately go to Sandport City to work and live.

Zhou Yi said: "Actually, I also have something I want to discuss with you."

"Please speak." Duke Sand Sea looked cautious.

Zhou Yi pointed to the dam: "You have also seen that a coastal highway has been built from Emerald City to the breeding platform. I plan to further expand and extend this road along the Dead Sea all the way to the port outside Sandport City, and name it Emerald Avenue."

"In this way, residents living in Sandport City can come to our company to work, and residents of our Emerald City can also go to Sandport to consume. It will also be easier for us to purchase fish fry from Sandport and export our food to Sandport, and the trade between the two sides will become faster and more convenient."

"What do you think?"

Duke Sandport was stunned for a moment, then immediately rubbed his hands and said: "I think it's very good. This is beneficial and harmless to Sandport, and it's really what we want."

Zhou Yi smiled and extended his hand: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." Duke Sandport also raised its claw.

The two shook hands.

The details will be discussed and coordinated by Zheng Tao and Chen Guodong.

Zhou Yi asked again: "You said before that you know the location of a Dead Sea alien?"

Duke Sandport nodded: "This is absolutely true, I have been there once, but that place is very dangerous, and I don't have the confidence to get too close. If it were Mr. Zhou, perhaps there would be a chance to subdue it."

"Oh? Very dangerous?"

"Dangerous."

Zhou Yi asked: "How far is it from here?"

"Not far."

Duke Sandport said in a low voice: "Just outside Sandport City."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

This place actually hides a building life.
