Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 712 Joining forces is the only way out!

Zhou Yi decided not to officially announce that he had defeated and overthrown the Celestials yet.

In the minds of most earth dwellers, the celestial beings are the noble rulers behind the heavenly kingdom, mysterious and unapproachable.

The first and second wars of resistance against the Celestials were suppressed and information blocked by the agents, and history was even distorted, resulting in the bloody suppression and massacres of the past invasion and colonization being downplayed.

Ordinary people feel more awe towards the heavens and the human realm, but they don't necessarily hate them.

This also demonstrates the success of those agents in manipulating history and public opinion.

Once the self-developed Celestials are unveiled, the right to define Celestials will naturally fall into the company's hands, and a new history will be written by these new generation of Celestials.

The most pressing issue at present is how to reform these 3 celestial beings.

If all else fails, the only option is to reconstruct and decompose their circuits into strings, making them part of Jupiter, thus enhancing the string integration of this megastructure.

Zhou Yi summoned Xiao Chongqing again: "Are the Celestials still refusing to communicate?"

"Chairman, they are very stubborn."

Xiao Chongqing said with a stern face: "They haven't responded since the last time you tried to persuade them to surrender."

Zhou Yi frowned: "You rule Jupiter and understand the terraforms. In your opinion, is it possible for them to be terraformed and join us?"

"It's a little difficult."

The girl said, "They are currently using closed strings, with only internal channels. This communication takes place through countless strings in space. If I forcibly intervene, they will immediately detect it and then switch to a new string to reconnect. This is a cosmic encrypted information system of the Celestials."

"They probably used this method when they plotted to blockade the rebellious string civilization."

Zhou Yi changed his perspective: "Aren't there any disagreements within the Celestial Beings?"

"some."

Xiao Chongqing raised his hand and pointed to a spherical gemstone structure in the air, creating a dynamic visual display.

"Chairman, you see. Due to their physiological structure, the modified individuals have their own string channels, through which a large amount of information flows. The modified individuals are a decentralized group, and apart from the higher level of the string civilization, there is no leader-like figure within them."

"This is also a deliberate design of the string civilization to avoid them unifying their thoughts. However, the problem also lies here: decentralization allows each individual's ideas to be unrestricted, whether it is to actively build or destroy and destroy, these ideas are allowed."

"Ultimately, a large number of ideas spread rapidly through unguarded interaction within the string channel, which also enabled string technology to develop and evolve at a rapid pace, leading to anonymous collaborative parallelism..."

"Simply put, it means that you don't need to know who each other is, but you can achieve your goals by working together based on each other's ideas."

The animated image shows strings forming lines that connect different gemstones.

Pointing to the string-like lines, Xiao Chongqing said, "The postwar negotiations that we are currently initiating have previously only received responses from a very small number of individuals. This is usually the case, with a small number of individuals making the biggest noise."

"It may take many years for the whole situation to change. The reformers all have their own ideas, but this process may be quite lengthy."

Zhou Yi then realized this.

The modders are like individual IDs posting on a forum. Because it's a decentralized, encrypted community, it's impossible to trace the keyboard warriors behind the words by looking up their IDs.

It would be a real shame to abandon the majority of silent celestial beings because of a few voices.

Zhou Yi decided to continue trying to find a solution.

Just as he was busy trying to subdue the Celestials, the Giant Bone Fish descended upon Sand Harbor.

This metamorphic entity, residing on Europa, resembled a willow-leaf-shaped floating continent high in the sky, attracting the attention of the local residents who looked up at it.

The gem transmutators in Earth's orbit have all been taken over and are no longer exhibiting any unusual behavior.

The projection of the giant bone fish arrived at room 3101.

Zhou Yi looked at the fish-shaped black shadow in front of him: "Welcome, distinguished guest."

The earth spirit cut to the chase: "Who exactly are you?"

"Zhou Yi, an ancient human."

"Impossible! You are definitely not human!"

The giant fish was certain: "Humans cannot achieve this level; humans cannot solve the problem of the celestial beings."

Zhou Yi was already used to this: "In the latest paper published by our company's bone laboratory, we found that most of the bone fish, whether they are subterranean or surface-dwelling bone fish, have human skeletons inside them."

"This is not a necessity for survival, but human bones allow bone fish to better record memories and experiences. In the natural environment, the bone fish's favorite type of bone is human bone."

"So, in a way, as a member of the Bone Fish clan, you can be considered an inheritor of the old humans."

"..."

The giant fish seemed unable to find a word to object.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously. What I mean is, don't get hung up on race."

Zhou Yi smiled, sat down on the sofa, and said, "The cave dwellers, invisible to the naked eye, were able to create a powerful civilization comparable to celestial beings. The inconspicuous mantle fungi, however, created a powerful mutant like you. Everything in the world has its talents; it's all about how you use them, isn't it?"

"……good."

The Earth Ghost agreed with this point.

"Furthermore, dealing with the Celestials is not something I can do alone. The Wasteland Development Corporation has absorbed the wisdom and achievements of various races; it is the result of the joint efforts of all its members."

After Zhou Yi gave his formal reply, he said, "So your first visit here wasn't just for chatting."

"I want to build the Bone Fish Planet."

The Earth Ghost did indeed seem to be bad at conversation, speaking without any preamble or polite formalities, straightforward and honest, with a pure and uncorrupted quality.

Zhou Yi liked this approach; everyone could get straight to the point and not waste time.

"Tell me in detail."

"I plan to drastically modify Europa so that the Bone Fish Clan can settle here."

The Earth Ghost said, "Any bone fish can migrate here. I will nurture them to make them grow faster and stronger."

Zhou Yi and it had a detailed discussion about bone fish.

Only then did he know.

The giant bone fish had long wanted to bring a large number of bone fish over, but it was hampered by the presence of the gem changer. Now that the crisis between the Celestials and Humans has been resolved, it wants to implement this policy.

The company's success in training Bonefish employees gave Earth Ghost tremendous confidence.

“In the mantle, I am indeed superior to my peers. But on a cosmic scale, a transmutator is nothing.”

The Earth Demon said, "Going it alone is indeed not an option. I failed. Facing the Celestials, apart from gaining a slight advantage at the beginning by taking them by surprise, I never had another chance after they discovered me."

"But the Celestials, too, when they faced you, they fought alone as a group of modifiers, and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat."

"now I understand."

"In the universe, it's all about numbers. The more people, the stronger you are!"

"Higher-level beings, such as the String Civilization and even the Time Elders, are composed of massive groups, enabling them to traverse various dimensions of the universe!" "I must vigorously promote the growth of the Bone Fish population! Unity is the only way forward!"

The Mavericks announced a change in strategy.

Zhou Yi was pleased with this outcome.

It's good that the bonefish have another way to ascend.

"So, I hope to use you and the company to promote the bonefish. You are very good at this, so please help me speak to them and encourage more bonefish to come."

The fish-shaped shadowy figure's voice was somewhat frustrated: "Because the battle against the Celestials has ended, all those bone fish are now applying to leave Europa and want to go back to work at the company... I really can't understand it."

"With me, all you need to do is train and grow into a strong person. Why do you still want to go to work? I don't understand... What exactly did you do to them that makes them want to go back to the company every day?"

It took Zhou Yi a long time to make the giant bone fish understand.

Not all individuals are born with lofty ambitions, the mindset, self-control, iron will, and the crazy obsession to gamble everything to become an unparalleled powerhouse.

They are a very small minority.

Most of them are just ordinary people who want to live a comfortable and carefree life.

Now that the pressure from the heavens and man is gone, the previous energy has naturally dissipated.

The giant fish fell silent.

It hesitated for a long time before speaking: "The bone fish clan has a huge number of members, but it is unable to develop, and there is indeed a reason for that."

"According to you, we have to prepare bone fish cities, entertainment activities, resorts, breeding environments, holidays, cultural cohesion... That's a bit too complicated."

"Can you make it simpler?"

Zhou Yi shrugged: "It's not that simple. To maintain the vitality and enthusiasm of a group, a lot of supporting measures are needed. Working and striving are inherently against our instincts. Without these multi-faceted incentives and compensations, they cannot persevere. These positive feedbacks are indispensable."

"Any stable civilization requires long-term management and improvement."

After pondering for a while, the shadowy figure of the Earth Demon said, "I am not as good as you in this respect... You are indeed capable. I now believe that you are probably an old human."

“You were born before me; you are a more ancient and wiser being. There is nothing shameful about learning from your experience and emulating your success.”

"Thank you for your guidance. I will do my best to do this well."

Zhou Yixin said that the giant bone fish's posture changes were very smooth.

However, the core issue is that he conquered Celestial Being and Jupiter, which were insurmountable for the Giant Bone Fish. Only with verifiable achievements will the opponent be convinced.

Two months later.

Europa's recruitment of the bony fish received very few responses.

Wild bony fish are mostly primitive creatures that survive by following their instincts. Although the company has been helping the giant bony fish with publicity and talent recruitment, it's like talking to a brick wall; they simply don't understand and are unwilling to change their existing way of life.

Only a minority of bony fish possess intelligence and are capable of accumulating experience and memory over a long period of time, and this group has more to consider.

The company has conducted research.

There are many reasons.

"It's too far from home, I'm not going."

“There are no settlement subsidies for companies over there. Now, China and other regions have talent introduction benefits, but there is nothing there.”

"It's too tough. I heard from Bonefish who has received special training that it's all military-style management there. Although they only get 1 to 2 days off a week, they have to train hard the rest of the time. The intensity is so high, and they are often physically punished... I'd rather stay in the Dead Sea and play in the wild."

"It's much easier for me to find a job here. Why torture myself by going so far away? Am I trying to become the next giant fish? That's too difficult. We're all just trying to make a living, so we'll definitely choose a place with a better environment."

"I heard there isn't even a hospital there. If you get injured during training, you have to be sent to Maria Hospital in Sakong for treatment... The conditions are really terrible. Besides, I'm a big fan of Bonefish TV at my company. I watch the 8 o'clock drama every day. I don't have time to watch it there, so it's really not appealing."

……

In short, the bone fish, now living a good life, no longer want to struggle.

This is also human nature.

Zhou Yi can understand.

However, the giant bone fish went berserk, complaining wildly: "What the underground bone fish used to dream of is now something they can achieve with just a nod! They don't appreciate it at all! What's wrong with the new generation of bone fish!"

"Damn it, this is infuriating!!"

"..."

Zhou Yi could only try his best to appease it, telling it that times had changed.

You can't always judge the new generation of young fish by the standards of the hard times of the past.

People born in this comfortable and convenient era have different standards of living and different ideals.

The giant bony fish was somewhat dejected: "What's wrong with this world...? Do bony fish like me no longer exist?"

Zhou Yi said, "I think there are still some."

"Knights-errant and individuals who pursue the ultimate will always exist, but they are few and far between. In times of war and chaos, they will stand up, but now we live in a time of peace, or rather, we have truly entered a relaxed era free from the oppression of heaven and man. They no longer have such great pressure and can have more choices."

"Actually, you don't need to be in a hurry. I think there will be many bone fish going to Europa in the future."

"Really?"

The other person's voice was full of doubt: "How do you know? You mean when conditions on my side improve? But in this respect, I may never catch up with you... I'm only good at fighting and physical training, not at management and construction."

"The needs are different."

Zhou Yi patiently explained, "When more and more bone fish get used to a comfortable and leisurely life year after year, the new generation will get bored and will seek out more exciting and novel areas."

"It won't be long before bone fish migrate to Europa, pursuing larger, faster, and stronger forms. Excellent living conditions will allow them to pursue their limits and explore the universe and truth without any burden or pressure."

"you sure?"

"Of course. Because that's how the old humans came to be."

The giant fish was relieved: "Thank you for your kind words. But could the company send some people over to help me with the construction of Europa? If the supporting facilities are in place, it should be more attractive to the fish."

Zhou Yi nodded: "That's no problem."

Soon after, the company's support construction team, along with a group of Emerald City residents, arrived at Europa and began a massive infrastructure renovation project.

Just two years later, sure enough, many bony fish began to head to Europa.

That's a story for another day.

At the end of the eleventh year.

Big news has come from 703.

"Chairman, we've broken through the Supreme Lord Laozi's model! We can now directly and synchronously analyze the string channels of celestial beings! Their last stronghold has also been breached!"
