Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 413 Thank you, Brother Farri

Seven days later.

The city page of Xue County published "Juemingzi's One-Month Practice Talk in Emerald City".

The great electromechanical monk returned to Snow County and started a lecture and debate.

It shared what it saw and heard in the Emerald City, as well as the racial issues and the cat threat theory that it discussed with Zhou Yi.

Juemingzi stated publicly.

——I hope more monks and mechanical and electrical people can visit the Emerald City, visit their schools, factories and dams, and see the spiritual outlook of ordinary people there and why they are full of confidence in life and the future.

——Data is an important basis for judgment, but it is by no means real. It is just a reflection of the world outlined by the flames of the program. The position of the flames and the blowing of the wind will cause a large deviation between the shadow and the reality. I hope that everyone will not blindly believe in the data, but experience, observe, and interact to get feedback that is closer to the truth.

The influence and independence of the great monk were much stronger than Zhou Yi had expected.

It speaks directly for the company, and there is no legal prohibition on this.

Hong Jian said, "Of course. Regardless of legal principles or universal agreements, what they maintain is only the present of the electromechanical city and electromechanical life, but the future needs to be guided by new ideas and knowledge, and the monks are doing just that. If the independent thinking of the monks is stopped, then the electromechanical life will completely lose its pioneering group."

"In fact, according to historical descriptions, the birth of light printing techniques was first studied, researched, and tested by monks. To become a monk, the threshold is very high. You must reach B level in a certain field to have the opportunity to apply for a job change."

"If you succeed, you need to fulfill the mission and obligations of a monk, give up wealth and pleasure, and explore only for the sake of knowledge and ideas."

“They are also the object of protection for all electromechanical life.”

The monk is a high-level job transfer of electromechanical life. He is both a thinker and critic, as well as a pioneering scientist.

At this moment, Zhou Yi realized that he actually always had stereotypes and preconceived ideas about electromechanical life.

I always feel like they are just workaholic robots.

They are rigid and cold because they are born that way.

From birth, work is the most important meaning of their lives. Work brings together different mechanical and electrical lives to build society and cities.

But they also wonder, is this good? Is this right? Do we have to live like this forever?

Mechanical and electrical life is also trying to break through the existing structural limitations. They build mechanical and electrical cities to protect each other and enhance survival, and transform themselves into monks to search for the future and hope.

Zhou Yi somewhat understood the choice of this group.

Red Falcon continued to report: "News from Recursion City."

"Two monks have contacted Recursion City, hoping to come here to travel and practice."

“It’s just that the issues they explore are quite controversial.”

"The direction of the monk Wu Le's research is the combination of humans and machines. He believes that the perfect combination of humans and mechatronic life is the ideal form of the next generation of life. In this way, it can possess the creativity of humans and the stability, efficiency and scalability of mechatronic life."

The drone said: "The exploration of another monk [Huihe] is more dangerous. It proposes to conduct a large number of experiments in the Dead Sea to find the awakening technology that can effectively transform electromechanical life. It is very interested in the new generation of electromechanical life that has been repaired by semi-civilized bodies. The key has unlocked the shackles and believes that they have more possibilities."

Zhou Yi smiled when he heard this: "Controversy means there are supporters and opponents, which means the idea touches on something that everyone cares about. This is good."

"Let them come, and let's talk to each other. We welcome all kinds of collisions of ideas. If you don't even dare to think about it, then it's impossible to do it."

Don’t say anything else.

These two directions, the integration of man and machine, and the exploration of the principles of electromechanical life, are areas that Zhou Yi himself is also very interested in.

"Please make an appointment for me then. I also want to talk to these two monks."

"Okay, I'll make the schedule based on your time."

Hong Xun added: "Zhou, the company has another matter that requires you to make a decision."

"The second generation of floating hearts has gradually entered the market, but the supply is not large at present because the production line is still being increased and adjusted."

"After discussions between Mr. Liu and Mr. Chen and the heads of the three major companies, in accordance with the company's consistent low-price and inclusive strategy, the current preliminary price is 14 light seeds per piece. The performance of the second generation has increased by 2%. In the long run, it will save more money than the first generation. What do you think of this price?"

Zhou Yi thought about it.

This price is already very sincere.

After all, the price of the first generation is also 1.

"However, those who bought the first generation of heart, if their financial conditions are a little worse, I am afraid they don't have the spare money to replace the new model in such a short time."

Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we do a trade-in. You can buy a brand new one, or you can exchange the previous 1st generation heart for a 2nd generation heart by adding 5 yuan. But the prerequisite is that the 1st generation heart cannot have any functional damage."

"This will reduce the repeated expenditure of the buyers. On the other hand, aren't we cultivating and upgrading the hearts? These hearts have been cultivated by users for several months. The plankton has grown to a certain extent, which makes it easier to upgrade to Class C, and it can also shorten our cultivation cycle."

The red kestrel's electronic eyes flickered. "Good idea. I'll go discuss the details with them right away."

Two days later.

The second generation of [Sihe Brand] Floating Heart is officially on sale.

There are many old customers who want to exchange their old hearts for new ones. A large number of first-generation hearts are recycled after being tested and confirmed to be qualified, and sent to Shagang for deep upgrading and cultivation of plankton.

In just four days, 2 units of the second generation heart were sold.

One-fifth of them are old customers who are trading in their old products for new ones.

But even so, the total revenue reached 170 million light seeds.

According to the previous agreement among the four companies to share the profits equally, this amount alone brought Zhou Yi an income of 42.5 light seeds.

He himself was puzzled: "No, why is it selling so well? How come it sells better than the first generation? What's going on?"

Hongshun said: "This batch of buyers are basically major power groups." "Heavenly Kingdom purchased 4 pieces."

"Xingshu purchased 15000 of them."

"The various mechanical and electrical cities have purchased a total of 7 of them, with the city of Holy Mountain alone purchasing 2 of them."

"The rest was purchased collectively by various knightly orders, alchemist societies, artisan guilds, and urban areas."

Zhou Yi seemed to understand.

"They are used to the first generation, and now that the performance has been improved, they are directly replaced?"

"Yes."

Hong Shun said, "Another important reason is the recently released [Modified Floating Heart]. This heart developed by the Mechanical and Electrical City is comparable to our first-generation heart and is also on sale to the public, with mixed reviews from various places. The Mechanical and Electrical City emphasizes its advantages, which are excellent stability, ultra-long battery life with an assembly of raw material boxes, and later upgrades."

"But with the launch of the second-generation heart, we also officially launched the performance standard [Floating] for floating hearts."

"By this standard, the modified heart is two generations behind the times."

"The modified heart was previously promoted on a large scale in various places, which served as a free preheating for the sale of our second-generation heart, and also became the best comparison object."

"Many buyers who were previously hesitant about changing their heart types have now directly chosen our latest second-generation heart."

Zhou Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

All I can say is thank you, Brother Faree.

"In addition, there is also the driving influence of the electric cat system."

Hong Shun continued to explain: "The previous batch of non-working electric cats were transferred and distributed through Yin Shang Company, and the buyers were also major organizations."

"They have strong information capabilities and knew about our power infrastructure early on."

"After we bought the electric cat, many places followed our example and built generators and wire networks. Currently, there are two most mature applications."

"The first is city defense. By surrounding the city walls with the cheapest barbed wire, we can create an area where cats can run. By extending the metal structure outward, cats can enter various areas to patrol."

"Although these non-working electric cats are more difficult to train, if they are provided with enough electricity, they will still do their work. They are just not so responsible and are prone to cheating. But in fact, they are no different from most light species."

The drone continued, "The second application is to attach electric cats to some weapons, such as cold weapons like swords, or armor or even missiles. Their power can also play a good role in amplifying them."

Zhou Yi nodded.

These two methods are indeed simple and easy to use.

When it comes to personal interests, everyone thinks quickly.

"Electric cats need a lot of electricity to support them. The cheapest and most stable way to obtain electricity is to use floating hearts to consume oil and sugar to generate electricity."

"Yin Shang Company has long been rumored to be continuing to transfer electric modems to other companies, so everyone should wait and see. Now our power infrastructure is expanding everywhere, and the Moon Landing Area has been transformed into a large power system hub. All parties are watching and paying close attention to this."

"To keep up with the electric cat system, there has to be a lot of floating heart support."

Hong Yun concluded: "Because of this series of reasons, the second-generation heart sells very well."

Zhou Yi hummed.

The drone projected a report on the wall: "This is the total revenue we generated from the first generation of hearts and the corresponding list. In the past two quarters, a total of 1 floating hearts were sold, with a total turnover of 41 light seeds. After deducting the manufacturing costs, transportation, maintenance and after-sales losses, the total profit was 12 light seeds."

"After the four companies divided the profits, we received 100.3 million light seeds."

"I have reviewed and verified the accounts and there are no issues."

Hong Xun stretched out his mechanical arm and handed the light box stored at the bottom of the body to Zhou Yi: "This is the payment."

Then it took out another light box and said, "This is the profit share from the second generation heart order. Normally, it should be settled on a quarterly basis, but because it's selling well, the amount is not low, so we'll settle this one first."

Zhou Yi immediately obtained 142 million light seeds.

Combined with previous savings, the total reserves have reached 650 million light seeds!
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

And it has to be industrialized products with technological monopoly to make money quickly!

Affordable prices are more conducive to stimulating people's active consumption and upgrading.

At the end of the year, we can give employees a nice year-end bonus.

That night, Zhou Yi slept particularly soundly.

He woke up in a daze and suddenly found a stick by the window.

Huh?
WTF?

I remember, I didn’t put any sticks…

Zhou Yi took a closer look.

It turned out to be a prosthetic leg.

It actually came back quietly, and the Emerald City was completely unable to stop it from sneaking in.
