Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 310 Slavery City

After a series of thunderstorms and strong winds, the Shagang area experienced three days of heavy rain, and the temperature plummeted from its high point to around 12 degrees Celsius.

The employees who used to complain about the heat every day suddenly had to put on coats, and keeping warm became a new consideration.

Autumn is here.

Previously the days were long, with plenty of both sunlight and dead light, but now the sun sets earlier and the nights are noticeably longer.

Zhou Yi noticed that there were many more artificial street lights around Emerald City.

They were small bright yellow lights, which were laid on both sides of Emerald Avenue, in the central green belt of the viaduct, and even inside the Emerald City community...even many of the small paths outside were lit up by them.

The glowing object is a yellow firefly mushroom given by the tree keeper.

Gong Zheng said: "Chairman, Mushroom Forest has mass-produced firefly mushrooms. These fluorescent mushrooms grow very fast, and Sun Chonglai has improved them to a certain extent."

"The biggest problem with the firefly mushroom is its short lifespan. It can only last 2-3 weeks from glowing to withering and losing its light. The mushroom forest uses carpet fungi to spread out, allowing them to last for 1-2 months, becoming brighter and having a longer growth cycle."

"Now the firefly mushroom is a relatively mature lighting prop. You just need to use a clay pot or flower pot filled with soil, water it regularly, and sprinkle some fertilizer on it to keep it alive."

"They can provide better lighting indoors, although not as good as the Emerald City, but they can replace the rhombuses. They are lighter and can be increased in number to increase brightness."

"Sun Chonglai spread the yellow fireflies on the road so that the road and surrounding environment can be clearly seen at night without holding the diamond-shaped lights all the time, and it is safer for vehicles to drive on the viaduct."

He smiled and said: "Next, Sun Chonglai wants to improve the firefly mushroom to make it bigger and brighter, so that it can provide better lighting. But it will take time to select excellent individuals generation by generation."

Zhou Yi likes this kind of illuminating mushroom very much.

He also bought a flowerpot and grew one indoors.

A few more days passed.

Weapon hunter Fang Qiao came to the outside of Emerald City again.

"Mr. Zhou, this is a modified weapon. I brought it here. Please take a look."

The bald young man put down the large wooden box on his back.

Zhou Yi opened the lid of the box.

The Gatling gun changed from black to gold.

He took it out and held it with his left arm. It felt much heavier. The machine gun was coated with a layer of metal, but it was unknown whether it was copper or some other metal.

"Mr. Zhou, this cannon is already B-level. I have tested it. Its damage has increased from 18-22 to 24-41, its cooldown has been shortened to 0.2, and its range has been further increased from 1500 to 1750."

Fang Qiao showed a confident smile on his face: "The core of long-range firepower is that every inch longer is every inch stronger. The initial range of this prototype weapon was very good, and now it will have even stronger suppression and lethality."

“In addition, it also comes with a new ability called “Explosion Point”.

"When firing continuously, after fully warming up, if this machine gun hits the same wound three times in a row, it will cause point-to-point burst damage, which is very powerful. Although it is a low-probability event, sometimes if you are lucky, you may be able to cause serious damage to the enemy immediately."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

Gatlin’s all-round improvement is understandable, but what about this “explosive point”?

He immediately asked Fang Qiao.

"This is our technical secret and cannot be disclosed."

Fang Qiao said tactfully: "The way we transform and upgrade weapons is different from any other technology in the outside world. It is neither the Yin Guang technique nor mechanical transformation... But please feel free to use it, because in the field of weapons alone, we are one of the groups with the most in-depth research."

Since he didn't reveal anything, Zhou Yi didn't ask any more questions.

Just looking at the golden Gatling gun in his hand, he felt as if he had become a RMB player, who could get a customized weapon by charging money.

Fang Qiao warned again: "Please do not disassemble this upgraded machine gun. Once it is disassembled or damaged, its current characteristics and upgraded effects will disappear."

It also has a self-destruct mechanism for confidentiality.

Zhou Yi nodded: "I understand. If there is a problem with the weapon, can I ask you to repair it? I will pay the corresponding compensation."

"No problem at all."

Fang Qiao handed Zhou Yi a cylindrical communicator - it was the same model as Qin Xie's.

"This will let you contact me if you need repairs on this weapon."

"it is good."

"There is one more important thing."

Fang Qiao said solemnly, "Master Bingzhu asked me to tell you something. If you are interested, you can come to Golden Elephant Valley as a guest. We also need help diagnosing the aliens here."

Golden Elephant Valley?
One of the forbidden wonders.

Zhou Yi was surprised: "Is the military master in the forbidden continent now?"

"Uh."

Fang Qiao explained: "Our base camp is in the Golden Elephant Valley in the Forbidden Continent, and it always has been."

Various thoughts flashed through Zhou Yi's mind.

The Forbidden Continent can block the prying eyes of the gods and is completely independent of the world.

For the military leader who wanted to stay out of the matter, that place was indeed a good place.

"If I'm done here, I'll go visit the Lord of Arms when I have time."

"Then I look forward to your presence. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, Fang Qiao left by boat.

Zhou Yi immediately called his assistant: "Yuanxiao, has the commander of the army been in Golden Elephant Valley all this time?"

"Yes." The angel of death nodded, then showed a surprised look: "You didn't know that?"

"..."

Zhou Yi was helpless: "You mentioned forbidden wonders, I thought those places were places where people would die if they entered, and no one had ever been there."

"Most lives going to these three places are indeed seeking death...but the Lord of Arms is different. He is a top-level light core body on par with the Black Emperor and the Old King, and cannot be described by common sense."

When talking about this name, Yuanxiao's tone became cautious.

Zhou Yi confirmed again: "Golden Elephant Valley is the territory of the Lord of Arms?"

"You can't say that."

Yuan Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Because the forbidden wonder itself is very special, and the Lord of Arms does not own the Golden Elephant Valley, but he has been researching weapons there for many years, and his understanding of the Golden Elephant Valley is far greater than that of other lives."

"Then the other two places, Meat Mountain and Spark Plains, also have similar light core life?"

"I don't know."

Zhou Yi was thinking in his heart.

This forbidden continent can be regarded as the top-level copy of the wasteland world, and all kinds of tough guys hang out there.

"What kind of military leader do you know?" Zhou Yi asked again.

Yuan Xiao paused for a moment before speaking: "The Lord of Arms is a human, at least he looks human. I heard that he likes beautiful women, and there are always a few women around him. And then it is known to the outside world that he likes to collect weapons, that's the main thing."

Like beautiful women.

At least it shows that the master's aesthetic taste is online.

Love beauties and weapons.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but imagine the image of a powerful military resident.

……

Later in the day, another visitor arrived.

The visitor was a large red-eyed vulture.

It was equipped with a translator and a signal transceiver. After landing at the door, it nodded to Zhou Yi and an electronic synthesized voice came from the microphone on its leg: "Mr. Zhou, it's an honor to meet you. I am the messenger from Motorcycle City, Jiu Jinshan."

"Because your company was cut off from the air stack service and cannot make regular contacts through the air stack, I flew all the way here from Motorcycle City."

"Your company and Motorcycle City are both sanctioned by the Mechanical and Electrical City Cluster. We all have the same dilemma. Facing this external dilemma, we sincerely hope to cooperate with the Wasteland Development Company to overcome the difficulties together."

"We hope to be your agent for the manufacturing and processing of various products."

"What Coral Mouth can build, we can build. What they cannot build or dare not build, we in Motorcycle City dare to build too."

Zhou Yi looked at the other person.

This is to try to win the order.

Jade Soup and Flame Cup have completely opened up the market by virtue of their good quality and low price, and the demand has always been great.

Motorcycle City wants to take over Coral Mouth's position.

but.

This city has a bad reputation in the outside world. It is a place where semi-civilized beings are enslaved to do all kinds of illegal work, and it is said that slavery is also practiced.

It's more like a giant black factory disguised as a city.

In terms of price, Motorcycle City can reduce costs by exploiting illegal workers, but the quality is difficult to guarantee.

More importantly, Zhou Yi has now made a plan for independent manufacturing and has transferred and distributed the industry, handing it over to the sea owners of the Development Alliance for production and sales.

He replied directly: "Then you will have made a wasted trip. I have no such plan at the moment."

Jiu Jinshan refused to give up and continued to lobby: "If you are worried that our products are not good enough, you can check them at any time. Although we in Motorcycle City have a long tradition of using slave workers, we never cut corners. After all, we have to keep doing things for a long time. We also don't want to offend any buyers and partners."

"Do you think we have a bad reputation?"

"There is nothing we can do about this. Slavery is still the basic system of Motorcycle City after all. However, slavery itself is not a sin. We just buy the lives of those who sell themselves and use them as slaves to generate income for our city."

"In addition, semi-civilized beings enjoy the same treatment as slaves in Motorcycle City. Motorcycle City only has slaves and slave owners, and the only slave owner is the owner of Motorcycle City. We are all slaves, and every slave is equal and protected by Motorcycle City."

"Slaves are the cornerstone of Motorcycle City, and the most important core productivity. The city feeds us, charges our energy, provides us with physical examinations and medical treatment, and provides us with regular maintenance and upkeep. It also helps us find marriages, and gives us high rewards for having offspring... In the outside world, many residents are worse off than slaves."

Zhou Yi was shocked when he heard this.

He was in sync with the other party and asked Red Falcon for confirmation.

"indeed so."

The drone gave a positive reply: "The slaves of Motorcycle City include not only humans, semi-civilized beings, mechatronic life forms, but also light nano species. They all sold their freedom to Motorcycle City."

"The Electromechanical City censors the Motorcycle City. In addition to their enslavement of electromechanical life, they also frequently hack and imitate the various technological products of the Electromechanical City."

Motorcycle City is a form of collective slavery.

We are all slaves, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

The name of slave sounds harsh, but the residents of Motorcycle City can live a stable life in this not-so-peaceful wasteland era.

You don’t have to worry about having no food to eat, and you don’t have to think about where to find a job. You can make a living by working, and just follow the arrangements of the Motorcycle City.

An idea popped into Zhou Yi's mind that even he himself felt was a little outrageous.

Slavery...seems to have had its merits.
