Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 544 We also have a towering tree now!

Not long after, messages came back from both Mars and the Moon.

Building 7 has completed site selection at the Mars base and construction has begun on the second high-rise building in its independent complex. The Free Army mutants working for the company have gradually moved in.

Building 5 maintained its guard function on the moon, roaming along the construction area of ​​the Sun Eye. It also built two small high-rise buildings, leading these two follower-like machines to patrol everywhere, becoming a unique sight on the moon.

It is worth mentioning that the moon underwent tremendous changes in a short period of time. First, there were the appearance of gem transmuters, then the former King Hōgo was working on the surface, and on Earth, the electromechanical life forms, skeletons, and humans began to build cities.

The local indigenous Moon people were initially very nervous, and these spinning Krippar lifeforms retreated one by one to areas far away from the outsiders.

However, after the electromechanical life experts landed on the moon, they made contact with the lunar people with the help of the company's [consciousness neural network].

As the company's local representative, Jacob returned immediately to report to Zhou Yi in person.

"Chairman, the Moon Palace has been initially completed. The electromechanical life professionals are extremely efficient. They work day and night, using lunar soil and light amber ceramics to build city buildings, install the core equipment that Heif transported from here, and use local materials to create streets and underground pipelines. Now all the necessary infrastructure for the city has been completed."

"The Moon Palace can now accommodate 5000 people. The city is built between two units consisting of 10 pillars and has abundant energy."

"There are two important situations that I need to consult with you about."

Jacob paused for a moment: "The first thing concerns the Lunarians."

"The total number of lunar humans in the area is about 4, scattered on the lunar surface and underground. We had not found a suitable way to recruit them before. However, the electromechanical experts of the Legal Front have come up with a solution. They have carefully examined the physiological structure of the lunar humans and found that they communicate with each other in a way similar to seismic waves."

“Each month, people are a wave source, and they can communicate over long distances. This communication is easy on the surface, but more difficult deep underground.”

"Therefore, the electromechanical experts used special equipment to create seismic waves, which was equivalent to a continuous broadcast to the outside world, attracting many lunar people."

"Currently, more than 40 lunar people have officially accepted the recruitment of the Moon Palace to participate in urban construction and experimental projects. Some of them are experimental assistants, while others are experimental subjects. Their reward is life cores. In addition, the pupils collect energy to supply them, which also allows them to avoid digging deep underground and thus avoid damaging the lunar crust."

The Minister of the Bone Man said, "Our Lunar Affairs Department also enlisted Haruk, who helped recruit 26 Lunar people, who have all gone to Mars to participate in the excavation of underground minerals."

"Currently, more and more people are joining the company and the Moon Palace."

Zhou Yi thought to himself that this was good news.

The lunar inhabitants have lived on the moon for a long time and have almost no interaction with other life forms outside. The fact that so many people applied for the job is already an excellent start.

Zhou Yi praised, "Well done."

"Chairman, the electromechanical expert is indeed remarkable; you truly have foresight."

Jacob's skull revealed a slightly sinister smile: "Introducing the Legal Front, their electromechanical life forms are truly strong in observing and summarizing experience. They not only quickly solved our previous problems, but also were able to rapidly achieve large-scale construction and production."

"They analyzed the data from the solar eye and, based on this super power plant, not only created a vast oxygen and water life system, but also built a large-scale conductive network and underground cables centered around the solar eye. This allows the electric cats to operate freely on the moon, and various industries are gradually expanding..."

Zhou Yi raised a question he was particularly interested in: "How's the progress on the 'Little Man in a Bottle'?"

"It has already been born."

When the topic came up, Jacob hesitated slightly: "However, the situation is rather complicated. The bottle-shaped figures born on the moon are different from those on Earth and Mars..."

"According to the electromechanical experts there, the little men in the bottle used to be clueless, but when it comes to knowledge, they respond immediately and provide information with astonishingly high accuracy. They're like knowledge sprites."

"But the little man on the moon remembers who he is."

Zhou Yi became interested: "What did he say?"

"The little man called himself Hobbes and said he was Canadian and didn't know how he got here. According to him, he should be an old human... but he himself didn't know why he was here. He just said that he was drinking and watching a ball game at home when he was inexplicably summoned here."

"He appeared intoxicated, and his speech was somewhat incoherent, so his words may not be credible. However, the part of common sense he described was very detailed, so even mechanical and electrical experts are puzzled by it and are working to further investigate it."

Jacob's words sent a chill down Zhou Yi's spine.

Canadian?

Hobbes.

He was a little dazed.

What's going on here?

Canadians on Earth in another parallel universe?
Or is the little man in the bottle some kind of time-travel mechanism?

Zhou Yi asked anxiously, "Is it possible to find information about this Hobbes? Can it be found through the database of the Electromechanical City?"

"We've already checked, but there's not much data on ordinary people from the old humans, and it's difficult to verify."

Jacob said, "The little man in the bottle can exist on the moon for 27 days, but he is currently drunk and asleep, and we can't wake him up no matter what we do. Other methods might disrupt the balance and cause him to disappear prematurely. So we can only wait for him to wake up first."

"The little man on the moon has woken up. I will come to inform you as soon as possible."

However, the little man in the bottle slept for half a month.

For a full 16 days, Zhou Yi had Hei Fu go and ask him every day. And the result was always the same.

"Chairman, he hasn't woken up yet."

"Chairman, he's still asleep."

……

However, during this period, a breakthrough occurred in Shagang.

Nige excitedly ran to 3101 and knocked on the door.

"Chairman, Chairman! Panshu, Panshu has finally grown!"

"We have a towering tree now!"

Zhou Yi immediately followed him to Yalong Bay.

Both the No. 1 and No. 2 trees have changed drastically at this time.

They are over 80 meters tall and continue to extend into the sky. The trunk circumference, which had previously stopped increasing, has begun to expand and grow vigorously again.

Unlike the large mosquito coil structure of the previous tree, these now look more like coral reefs, with a very complex intertwined branch structure.

In addition, they have grown large, blocky lateral branches, and those platform-like natural structures can be used directly for transplanting plants and building settlements.

Nige raised his head and straightened his chest, his voice becoming firm and powerful: "Chairman, these are the towering trees. Although they are still in their infancy and their current height is only that of saplings, they can grow to be extremely tall, sometimes over a thousand meters. They are the mountains of our world."

"Unlike the 'Pan Tree', the 'Sky-Reaching Tree' has a very high growth efficiency. They produce a much larger quantity of Dead Sea Fruit, which is sweeter and larger, and provides more nutrients and energy."

Zhou Yi had already noticed.

The tree canopy was laden with heavy Dead Sea fruits.

The vast majority of them are the highest-grade green fruits, each of which can increase the maximum health by 140 points.

There is also a red fruit with a flame-like color.

Nig nimbly climbed the tree and used his exploratory vine to pluck a red fruit for Zhou Yi: "Chairman, this is the real good fruit. The green fruits are all unripe. Back where we're from, nobody would want them if they were just thrown on the ground. They're too sour and astringent; even the monsters wouldn't eat them."

Zhou Yi's face twitched upon hearing this.

This is like a well-fed man not knowing the hunger of a starving man.

The green-grade Dead Sea Fruit in the wasteland has the same effect as 14 Light Seeds. Before it is opened, it can be stored for a long time, just like canned food. It is a strategic food that everyone would want to stock up on.

Nige peeled back the skin of the hawthorn berry, revealing the juicy, pale yellow flesh inside.

"Please try this; this is the authentic fruit from our area."

Zhou Yi tried taking a bite.

His eyes widened instantly.

Damn it.

This stuff is sweet and juicy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and flavor!

When Zhou Yi came to his senses, he realized that he had eaten all the red fruit.

He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Even a chairman can be naive at times.

The fruit from the Mud Tree Man was indeed irresistible; it was a delicacy he had never tasted before.

Zhou Yi gave a thumbs up: "Delicious."

Nig grinned and said, "Our fruit is still top-notch. If you say that other things we have are inferior, I think you're right, but in this aspect, we are absolutely confident that we are second to none."

at the same time.

Zhou Yi clearly felt that his health points had increased by 940.

Not only that, but defense also increased by 1 point, and energy increased by 120 points.

Red fruit represents an all-round improvement.

Mud Tree People grew up eating this stuff every day, no wonder their average physical fitness is off the charts, with the lowest level being B-grade.

Zhou Yi was in a great mood.

The Strong Foundation Program now has enough high-quality Dead Sea Fruit to cover all company employees!
