Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 260 I voted for this project

"We are developing a special procedure called 'Time Anchor' to try to restore the semi-civilized body to normal."

703 stood up, gestured with his forelimbs, and actively recommended this project: "Technically, it is to guide the consciousness from the program, so that the disordered consciousness direction will eventually be projected onto a timeline we have created, and then synchronized with the outside world. In this way, those scattered and discrete consciousnesses can be gathered and connected again."

“The advance payment also comes with learning procedures, self-cognition correction and other processes.”

"If the time anchor can be completed, millions of semi-civilized beings may be transformed into mechatronic life forms. This will not only free them from the fate of slavery, but also provide a large amount of fresh blood for the mechatronic society."

"Time Anchor is a key project carried out by the Mechatronics Knights, and I am one of the programmers of the project."

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

This is a good new direction.

If the time-anchor program can be truly created, the company's breeding platform can also return to normal, which will provide great help in the training of bone fish couriers.

"To what extent now?"

703 said: "The guidance program, identification program, correction program, etc. have all been completed. Only the timeline calibration has not been completed, which is also the most difficult part. Because the situation of each semi-civilized body is different, it is difficult to find a universal time node and target object."

Zhou Yi suddenly thought: "Have you ever considered a time meter?"

703 was stunned: "What is that?"

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

It turns out that mechanical and electrical life also has blind spots in knowledge.

So he showed his black water ghost and briefly introduced this peculiar life.

“There is such a thing.”

The robot dog was surprised and said, "They are already very close to conceptual life, so there shouldn't be many of them."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "You are wrong. There are quite a few of them, but they don't go out much and focus on time calibration. You can consider looking for a time meter - it would be best to find a standard clock. They are professionals in the field of time calibration. Maybe it will help improve your program."

"I'll remember this. This is a very constructive suggestion. Previously, we only focused on the internal part of the program and never thought about connecting to external life."

703 was a little excited: "Yes! We can introduce external modules with specific functions! We are trapped by stereotyped thinking!"

Zhou Yi added: "However, the Time Anchor project should be able to directly seek investment from the Mechanical and Electrical City. This is equivalent to bringing a large number of potential mechanical and electrical population to the city."

"Chairman, the Mechanical and Electrical City strictly prohibits experiments in this direction."

"why?"

"Because semi-civilized bodies are abnormal, they are not subject to many program constraints. They are inherently free of restrictions. In theory, they can remove their own protocols and program bindings. Their behavior is unpredictable and cannot be constrained by the stability of the city. For the city, this is an uncontrollable factor, a potential criminal and disruptor of order."

703 explained: "So this area is forbidden by the mechatronic city. They are to the mechatronic city like mutants are to human cities."

"We have had a hard time getting financial support through various channels. Although everyone knows that this is of great significance,... the expected benefits are uncertain. The project is now stuck at a critical stage and progress is very difficult."

Zhou Yi further confirmed: "You mean, if a semi-civilized body can be restored to normal, it will not be easily bound by various protocols and become uncertain, just like humans?"

"Yes. This is also the biggest problem."

The semi-open body comes with a jailbreak program and is no longer constrained by the existing closed framework.

That's not a problem.

There are millions of semi-civilized entities, and as long as time anchors can be used to repair them, there will always be some professionals among them.

Zhou Yi has accumulated a lot of cash now, and is worried about where to spend it.

“I have invested in this project.”

Zhou Yi took out the light box from his pocket and said, "I will give you 5000 light seeds."

703 was overjoyed and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground: "Chairman, I thank you on behalf of everyone! This is the largest investment our group has ever received!"

"Don't be too happy yet."

Zhou Yi emphasized: "I have a request. If the time anchor is successfully developed, every time you repair a semi-civilized body, you must help our company keep an eye out for suitable talents, promote our company to them, and recommend suitable employees to us."

"This is no problem!"

The robot dog agreed immediately.

Zhou Yi nodded: "I also know that this kind of project has a high failure rate. So I don't have any other requirements. It can be regarded as investing in technology in this direction, because I believe that semi-civilized bodies are an important group of mechatronic life in the future."

“This is just the first phase of investment.”

"If you have any new major progress, I still have the second and third phases of investment here, so the funds will be no less than the same."

"Chairman, you are truly the light of humanity! What is written in that book is indeed true. You are liberating all of humanity and you are changing the world!"

703 spoke very quickly, appearing very excited: "I will report this matter to the Knights immediately. Although I don't know whether it will generate any profit in the end, your investment will definitely pay off."

"We can guarantee one thing. If the time anchor is completed one day, your name and the company's name will be written inside it, so that every semi-civilized being rescued will know the great help you provided!"

Zhou Yi really enjoyed listening to this flattery.

but.

He asked, "What book are you talking about?"

"Don't you know?"

703 said: "Liberation of All Mankind. The book describes your creation of the company and your ideal of liberating humanity and restoring human creativity. The visitor... was called Liu Zhaoshan. He wrote about you and what he saw here after being captured."

"Although the book does not contain many words, it has actually been read by many residents in the mechanical and electrical city, and has been widely circulated."

Zhou Yi: “…”

Liu Zhaoshan told him not to take things out of context.

It turned out to be a mess! Zhou Yi immediately asked Hongshun to find a copy - he didn't expect that he would have to pay to read it.

After subscribing, he quickly read through the entire book. It was not long, only about 2 words, but it was a rare and relatively long nonfiction work in this era.

Overall, although it is a catchy title, the content is generally realistic, accurate and restrained.

Liu Zhaoshan is a very good professional writer.

The sales of the book he wrote reached 3000+, and the price was 0.2 light seeds. He has earned 600 light seeds from this book alone.

Zhou Yi had mixed feelings.

No matter what, Liu Zhaoshan has done some disguised publicity for himself.

……

This spring, the company welcomed new mechanical and electrical employees, each of whom performed their duties and demonstrated their talents in different positions.

The response from all parties was good.

Especially 703.

Gong Zheng expressed his love for the robot dog: "Chairman, 703 has written a simple program to record all the different departments of the company and the employees of each department. This makes it very clear at a glance, and it is much more convenient to calculate salaries and personnel relations."

"It is also training programmers for the company together with Diamond from the Mushroom Forest. In the Mushroom Forest, Black Hand Mushroom 102 is very talented. As for humans, adults learn slowly, but children are very interested in programming. There are two children who have outstanding results. One is Chen Ji, 10 years old, and the other is Beta, 9 years old."

"The three of them became assistants to 703 and can do basic program maintenance and record keeping."

Zhou Yi was quite relieved.

The next generation of the company is growing rapidly, and cultivating the company's own young talents is also an important part.

At the end of spring, the St. Petersburg officially bid farewell to Zhou Yi.

"Zhou Yi, my friend, I have to go. This winter's battle is very interesting."

Zhou Yi tried again and again to retain it, hoping that it would join the company directly.

However the mercenary sub refused.

"I like freedom, freedom to fight, freedom to travel around, this is the way I like to live. If one day you need me, come to Peace City, St. Petersburg will be there to welcome friends."

Zhou Yi no longer insisted.

The first to leave was actually the Beiyang Corps, followed by Qin Xie, and finally the St. Petersburg's turn.

Their departure one after another represented the complete disappearance of the shadow of war.

After the summer began, the company's farmland welcomed the first wave of bumper vegetable harvests.

Zhou Yi ran over to watch.

In the fields grew big and strong cabbages and lush radish leaves. Farmers picked the cabbages one by one from the fields, and farm machinery turned the radishes out of the soil. Large quantities of vegetables were transported to Emerald City and nearby Sand Harbor by truckloads.

Minister of Agriculture Zheng Tao was holding a long white radish in his hand, looking very satisfied.

"Chairman, the company's vegetables are growing very well."

"Yanmar is worthy of being a vegetable transplanter. It is professional. These vegetables are big, juicy, and taste great."

He took a bite of the radish in his hand; it was very crisp.

"Both white radish and cabbage can be stored for a long time and are not as delicate as other vegetables."

"They taste good whether cooked in soup or oil. They can be simply pickled with salt and stored in a cellar for half a year. They are great for both our own consumption and for sale."

Zheng Tao said: "Dr. Da Vinci said before that there are a lot of constipation and mouth ulcer problems in Shagang area because of insufficient vegetable intake. Now there are enough vegetables, and many people have smooth bowel movements! Mouths are not easily painful or rotten!"

"In the near future, we will start large-scale planting of pod beans. With the soybean machine "King Kong" leading the way, the amount of soybeans will increase significantly this time. It only takes 90-120 days to harvest in the fall, and our oil and dry bean production can be increased even more."

The Minister of Agriculture looked very happy: "There is nothing to say about the agricultural machinery profession. It is really strong."

Zhou Yi only realized it now.

His own Bai Suanni body does not need to eat and it will not be affected, but his flesh and blood body needs a balanced diet.

He still remembers that when he arrived here two years ago, it was common for local people to have black teeth and tooth loss, and most of them were malnourished, thin and hunchbacked.

Now as employees of the company, each of them is strong and neat, their dental problems have been curbed, their skin has changed from pale to wheat-colored, and their mental and facial expressions are completely different.

Zhou Yi looked at the surrounding farmland.

The agricultural machinery brothers, the Levo team and the Yanma team are all busy working in their respective fields.

The farmers from the United Farm were also running around on the ridges of the fields. The weather had gotten hot, and many of them were sweating profusely, but few were seen slacking off. Bursts of laughter could be heard from the fields from time to time.

……

Back to 3101.

Zhou Yi used the freshly harvested cabbage to stir-fry some cabbage with vinegar, stewed some radish with chicken bone soup, and cooked some rice.

He didn’t know if it was because of the filter, but he felt that the vegetables he produced were actually a bit sweet and especially delicious.

Just as Zhou Yi was eating.

The red falcon flew over and said, "Zhou, Lord Beidu is here to visit."

"It has arrived at the pier of Yalong Bay and wants to discuss the sale of the Mushroom House with you. It said that it has opened up many channels and can now officially sell it to the public."

Zhou Yi took two more mouthfuls of rice and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"I'll go find him right away. Go and ask Sun Chong to come over, and we'll discuss this together."
