Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 103 Yalong Bay's Capabilities
Zhou Yi had an impression of Yalong Bay, which was in Hainan. He had gone there to swim when he was in high school, but he didn't know about this submarine base.

This gave him a wonderful feeling of regaining lost ground.

As the Gerbil Team conducted further exploration in the front and Nemo improved the scene modeling in the rear, the situation inside Yalong Bay gradually became clear.

There are three submarines moored in the base's cave, the largest of which has become stuck to the inner wall.

Zhou Yi now needs to find a point of entry.

He said: "Yalong Bay, your function is to serve as a logistics supply and docking base for submarines. Joining us will not affect your original duties, and you will also get better supply support."

The base was silent.

Zhou Yi continued to persuade him: "I know you have discipline because you are a military-type architectural life, but you also said that the biggest difference between autonomous and instinctive types is that you can make changes on your own. Now, it's time to change."

"If you arrive at the Emerald City and find that what I promised and described is not true, you can leave at any time and I cannot stop you."

The alien at the base suddenly spoke: "You know me?"

"of course."

Zhou Yi thought, I’ve been to your place before.

However, he still chose a conservative way of expression: "Before the death ray came, you had not yet awakened to become an architectural life. You were located in a southern city called Sanya. Many prehistoric humans would go to your place for vacation..."

Zhou Yi talked about his memories of Yalong Bay.

As he spoke, he began to sink into his memories, trying his best to describe in full the journey that had become so distant.

I thought it was just normal at the time, but I didn't expect it to be an experience that I would never have again.

"Sanya...prehistoric humans...on vacation..."

Yalong Bay muttered the two names: "I don't have any memory before I became conscious, but my job tells me that no one without a password can enter. This place is strictly confidential. What you said about playing is contrary to this."

Zhou Yi said patiently: "I am talking about the place. In the same place, there is a bay for the public to visit and a secret military base built by the country. It's like you allow us to move around outside but forbid us to enter the bunker inside. There is no contradiction."

"Password."

Yalongwan insisted: "Only if you tell me the password can I trust you."

Zhou Yi thought about it and said tentatively: "Deep Sea Sword, People's Defender."

"wrong."

He reported all the propaganda slogans that the gerbils had collected, but they still didn't match.

But it was not without gain.

Yalongwan said: "Although your password is not correct, I feel that you do know some of the truth."

But you still need a password.

Zhou Yixin made up his mind and went for it.

After taking a deep breath, he clenched his fists in a military posture and sang: "Unity is strength..."

This military song is a must-learn subject for everyone during military training.

"wrong."

Zhou Yi sang another song.

"Forward! Forward! Forward! Our team is heading towards the sun..."

However, Yalong Bay commented: "It feels a bit, but it's not accurate."

Oh shit.

Zhou Yi was a little scratching his head.

Why are you such a difficult employee to deal with? The chairman is already singing and dancing, but it's still not right. What can you do?

calm down.

Zhou Yi adjusted his mindset and thought about it carefully.

From childhood to adulthood, he passively watched a lot of news broadcasts, which contained many descriptions and reports about the military.

About the navy, the navy... got it.

Zhou Yi remembered a sentence: "Protecting the country's maritime security, territorial sovereignty and safeguarding its maritime rights and interests."

"wrong."

In the following time, Zhou Yi felt like he had become an interviewee, racking his brains to find the only answer designed by the examiner, but all of them were rejected.

He was exhausted both physically and mentally because he put in a lot of effort and energy but encountered repeated setbacks.

The password should be some kind of secret code within the base, which is different from the public propaganda outside.

Zhou Yi was lying on the pier, feeling a little lost.

I came here from afar and was full of confidence, but now it seems that I was too optimistic.

I’m afraid we can’t handle Yalong Bay.

There was a long silence on the pier.

There was only the sound of the wind.

Yalongwan suddenly said: "Although you don't know the password, I believe what you said."

"I have a connection with what you expressed, which means that those things have appeared in my body, although I am not sure of their exact meaning." "I want to make changes, just like the forerunners did."

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then sat up suddenly.

"Have you agreed to join our company?"

"I accept your suggestion. I will go to the field to verify and seek truth from facts, including what you said about Emerald City growing through human beings and Maria Hospital recovering quickly due to further opening up to the outside world. However, due to the limitations of my functions, there is not much I can do."

Zhou Yi said: "It's okay. As long as the pier is allowed to dock ships, can this be done?"

"Yes, but not inside the bunker."

"no problem."

Apart from anything else, the huge size of Yalong Bay alone is a natural deterrent.

Then comes the highlight.

Zhou Yi asked: "What are your skills?"

"If you mean the functional characteristics of this machine, there are two."

Yalong Bay replied: "The first is containment. I can accommodate certain electromechanical life forms, which are what you call submarines. As long as they enter the range of my radiation, they will approach me and be received by me."

Zhou Yi was delighted.

This is it.

He quickly asked, "Then can you capture them and give them orders?"

"Capture? Order?"

Yalong Bay paused for a moment and said, "I think there is a misunderstanding here."

"The relationship between me and those electromechanical life forms is not that of predators. My job is to inspect and maintain them to ensure that their bodies are functioning well. They often take the initiative to find me for comprehensive inspections, repairs and maintenance."

what?
Zhou Yi froze on the spot when he heard this.

He still felt something was wrong: "Jacob said before that the sea god was eaten by you and is getting weaker and weaker. Shengshe also said that you ate a submarine not long ago."

“It’s containment.”

Yalongwan corrected him, "The Poseidon you described has been severely damaged for unknown reasons. If it is not contained, it will soon be destroyed. Its situation is special, and it has been sleeping in the cave for a long time, but I can only prevent it from getting worse."

"The one I took in not long ago is already very familiar to me. It was injured a lot, and often came to me for repair and care. It is very aggressive and will patrol around me and drive away any threats that may approach."

"During this containment, it also issued a warning shot to the ships and Light Na species within range."

Zhou Yi was a little amused.

It turned out to be a submarine repair port.

But if you think about it carefully, the main body of Yalong Bay is for logistical support. If you really want to carry out strategic strikes, you need submarines or coastal defense artillery, which are closer to the scope of electromechanical life.

He asked again: "What about the other one?"

"It is the most special one. It was in the cave when I was conscious and has become one with my body."

Yalongwan said: "It is difficult for me to accurately describe the relationship between it and me. It is not a submarine or electromechanical life in the usual sense. It stays suspended and transmits power evenly to the bottom of my body... Let's call it Yalong."

"The power of the Asian Dragon allows me to leave the land and float and sail on the Dead Sea. It is more like some kind of external structure of mine or what you call an organ. It may be because of its existence that I can stay awake in the Dead Sea. It is like another core of me..."

This large submarine has no autonomous consciousness and has never interacted with the outside world. It is more like an architectural life rather than an electromechanical life.

Zhou Yi had a guess in his mind.

The drone also gave the same verdict: "Uncivilized."

This will happen if the electromechanical life is severely damaged during awakening or is affected by the environment, resulting in the inability to complete the awakening process.

Just like Journey to the West TV.

The symbiosis of uncivilized bodies and architectural life has created the special situation of Yalong Bay.

Zhou Yi shared this information with the submarine base.

"Uncivilized body... So that's what it is... I still know too little, and there is still a lot to learn."

Yalong Bay has a strong ability to accept new things.

Zhou Yi thought again: "What is the other skill?"

"call."

The base alien said: "I can summon submarines to move and approach me, radiating to a far area in the Dead Sea."

"Because I have done maintenance on many submarines, we have a stable cooperative relationship. When they are called, they will know it is me, and they will also drive away and repel various dangers around to ensure the maintenance process is carried out smoothly."

"Every time I arrive at a new area of the Dead Sea, I will make summons. Repairing and maintaining them will also give me beneficial feedback from the body, but this feedback needs a lot of accumulation to produce an effect."

"Unfortunately, I only have three caves, which can only accommodate three submarines for continuous maintenance. The Yalong and Poseidon will each occupy one for a long time, so there is only one place left for external use."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

This is good.

Yalong Bay has its own connections to summon submarines for assistance, and there is no need to spend money to maintain these foreign warships.

Maybe we can even recruit new employees from submarines!
