Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 589 The First Electro-optical Core
Zhou Yi contacted Ye Shen to get the gem.

Her place has now become a dumping ground for gemstones.

The existing replicas of the Light Core Giants have already used up more than half of their gems, and now they can't gather enough.

"The new phase... the demand for gems from electromechanical life forms is really high."

Yagami said with some curiosity, "This level is already comparable to that of a Gem Transformer. The conditions for Electromechanical Lifeforms to advance to the Light Core Body are really harsh. No wonder they haven't been able to break through this level for so many years."

"But going down the gemstone route is the right thing to do. That Jue Mingzi has a lot of ideas."

She praised, "Gemstones can serve as carriers of consciousness and complete the internal circulation of consciousness. Each celestial being is equivalent to a local great holy spirit."

"If electromechanical life forms can transform and fuse with gem cells to become gem electromechanical life forms, they can follow the evolutionary growth path of celestial beings."

"I'll count out the gems right away and send them to the laboratory."

Zhou Yi brought Juemingzi to the laboratory in Guanghan Palace.

The young, electromechanical lifeform, upon seeing the mountain of Celestial Gems, revealed a longing in its electronic eyes that it had never shown before.

It is clear that gemstones have indeed brought about many changes to it.

Zhou Yi raised his hand and introduced, "Here are 1500 million gems. Night God replicated them based on the proportions of the gem transmuters. The ratio of white gems, sapphires, and black gems is 78:21:1... Let's try absorbing them."

"Is it really possible?"

Although Juemingzi desperately wanted it, she still tried her best to maintain a certain degree of restraint: "Even strategic-level equipment made of Celestial Gems in large-scale electromechanical cities only reaches a quantity of a few hundred at most. This is simply too precious..."

Zhou Yi said calmly, "It is precious, of course. So it is not without cost."

"After fusing with these Celestial Gems, the Master will no longer be a simple mechanical life form as before. He will have a strong desire for gems and an impulse to collect them, inevitably becoming a competitor of the Celestials... or even a hunter."

"Master, please think carefully. Do you still want to absorb these gems?"

"..."

A moment of silence.

Juemingzi clasped his hands together and said, "I want to explore this path."

"it is good."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Then absorb it."

Jue Mingzi raised her hand and touched the gem cell.

Strangely, the gemstones themselves were not absorbed as usual; instead, fibers gradually emerged from within them, and these fibers began to connect to the next gemstone... The gemstones began to connect internally to each other, like a neural network linking a large number of cells.

1500 million celestial gems were used to build a huge, thin screen, with each gem becoming a pixel on the screen.

It occupies the entire space of the laboratory.

An image stretched across the screen, like constantly undulating blue waves.

Zhou Yi asked, puzzled, "What is this?"

“Mr. Zhou, this is a replica of my original self.”

The boy next to me said, "I am the 5th generation Huawei Vision Smart Screen, but because the main body is very fragile, I have been staying in Xue County for a long time, and I move around in this kind of extension."

"However, after the [Newborn Phase], this current body has become the original body."

"This time, I incorporated materials from the Celestial Gemstones, which turned into a completely new medium for me, unlike what I had imagined. However, due to my limited computing power and processing capabilities, I can only reach a maximum of 1500 million."

"It's a wonderful feeling, I can't quite describe it..."

After thinking for a while, it said, "It's like a peripheral device of mine. Only when we connect can we be complete. However, after connecting, the energy consumption will be enormous, and the energy consumption of the gem cell is terrifying."

Zhou Yi was quite interested: "Let's connect and take a look."

"Ok."

The next second, Juemingzi's electronic eyes turned into two white halos, and two giant halos appeared simultaneously on the large screen next to him.

The gemstone screen seemed to have transformed into Jue Mingzi's face.

The entire structure released strong waves of consciousness.

It even gave Zhou Yi a sense of danger.

[Panorama View] Display.

At this moment, the boy and the giant gem screen became one, connected by black and white consciousness keys, just like a human-shaped host connected to the back of a monitor.

The complete sensory perception is displayed on the head of the Mingzi.

[Light Core LV1 - Unknown]

Zhou Yi felt a surge of excitement as he read this.

The first electromechanical-optical nucleus on Earth has been born!
Jue Mingzi said, "Mr. Zhou, this is now the complete form."

"I now have three senses."

"The first is the normal perspective, the second is energy perception, and the third is the consciousness waveband." Its voice was light and cheerful: "Especially the consciousness waveband, which used to be a realm that electromechanical life could not reach. But under the sensing, capture, and processing of the black gem, those consciousness fluctuations are as clear as a radio broadcast."

Zhou Yi asked in surprise, "Can all consciousness be captured?"

"It can only sense gems."

“Each gemstone has its own fluctuations of consciousness, though they are very weak. When there are many of them, they will connect with each other, and from quantitative change to qualitative change, they will generate specific movements and releases through the black gemstone.”

Zhou Yi was somewhat disappointed.

This means that the gemstone can only be recognized internally via an internal network.

The observer, Yagami, then said, "Although the black gemstone dominates the movement of consciousness, it can only be carried out through gemstones. The Celestial System is actually very closed, forming its own internal system and basically isolated from the outside world. Whether it is the exchange of matter or the communication of consciousness, it must be carried out through the gemstone itself."

"Yes. You are absolutely right."

Juemingzi said, "Gemstone units are highly enclosed, which has the advantages of high security, smoothness, stability, and high sensitivity, and can provide strong privacy protection for each gemstone. Even if these gemstones are obtained by the outside world, it is impossible to trace the identity and privacy of this consciousness through the gemstones."

"Its shortcomings are also obvious: it has a low degree of customization, cannot directly transmit information to the outside world, and is difficult to connect with the outside world. Only the functions that come with Gem Cell are available, and these functions need to be explored gradually."

It becomes a light nucleus.

Jue Mingzi also gained a brand new ability.

"I can project my consciousness over extremely long distances. As long as a life form has been modified with gem cells and implanted with a specific fibrous structure, it can serve as a projection carrier. This process can be initiated through a black gem, but the energy consumption is extremely high."

Zhou Yi is very familiar with this.

This is an inherent method of the divine and human realms.

They arrived on Earth in this way in the early days.

Li Mo and Tian Gou are also the carriers of this modified projection.

However, Juemingzi lacks the ability to project across space, making it a rudimentary version of celestial projection.

"Mr. Zhou. Not just flesh and blood, but also electromechanical life! Extensions too!"

It was already quite satisfied: "I can use the light core projection to control and modify a large number of sub-units to operate on the moon or Mars!"

Jue Mingzi couldn't help but imagine the future: "If we modify more electromechanical life gems, then everyone can communicate with each other at any time, because the black gems have their own internal consciousness frequency. We will no longer be limited by local spaces and various specific devices."

"The gem technology is truly incredible."

Zhou Yi's face twitched upon hearing this.

No, man.

Your transformation alone cost 1500 million light seeds; the cost of large-scale transformation would be too high.

Jue Mingzi seemed to realize this as well: "I was delusional. Becoming a light core is too extravagant for electromechanical life forms. It is already a miracle that breaks common sense and rules."

"Thank you both very much, Mr. Zhou and Ms. Yagami."

"Although words seem insignificant in comparison to such assistance... I promise to dedicate all my labor to you two for a thousand years. Please feel free to give instructions if needed."

"This promise has been recorded in my gem cell and will be fulfilled unconditionally."

Night God laughed and said, "You're quite sensible. But for me, the important thing is to study the Celestials and the Gems. Now that you have a Gem Body, you should study this part carefully."

"Yes."

Zhou Yi said, "We will still need your power to fight against the Celestials in the future. In the meantime, stay in the Moon Palace and develop your abilities and characteristics."

"Yes."

Talking and talking.

Zhou Yi suddenly had a bold idea: "Since you can identify other gemstones, can you identify individual projections of other gemstones?"

"OK."

"Can it be identified from anywhere on Earth?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll try."

About ten minutes later.

Jue Mingzi said, “It’s feasible. There are no other additional obstacles on Earth, and those gem transmuters haven’t set up any barriers in the gem passage area.”

Zhou Yi was secretly delighted.

The Celestial-Human System is extremely closed, with no internal restrictions.

That would create room for maneuver.

"Juemingzi, I am now giving you a task."

"I want you to find out the other celestial agents on Earth today and verify their true identities for me."

Juemingzi was taken aback, but immediately replied, "Yes!"
