Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 313 Alien Enhancement Technology

It was just dawn and the autumn rain was heavy.

A small helicopter landed on the coast of Yalong Bay.

Two enhancers carrying backpacks came out and headed straight for the Emerald City to visit the local ruler.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. We are researchers from the Agency Knight Alien Laboratory."

"I'm Lin Chen."

"I'm Rossbill."

Lin Chen is a man with short hair, bright eyes and untidy beard.

Rossbil is a typical Westerner, with high eyebrows, deep eyes, blue-gray pupils, and a half-bald head.

They all looked to be between thirty and forty years old, which was considered elderly in the wasteland era.

After a brief greeting, the two researchers couldn't wait to ask about the public area technology.

Lin Chen mainly spoke, while Rossbil was taking notes with pen and paper, and occasionally adding words.

Zhou Yi did not hide anything from them and told them about the development and improvement process of the safe zone technology.

Lin Chen was delighted: "The design of public facilities like public toilets is really ingenious. This coincides with one of our inferences."

"We believe that if the aliens meet one-on-one at a close distance, the probability of conflict and contradiction is higher. However, if three or more aliens are close to each other in a narrow area, they can restrain each other."

He gestured and said, "Our previous inference was that when faced with a complex environment, the aliens would choose a conservative approach. Multiple potential threats and competitors would make them reduce radical behavior to avoid falling into an unfavorable situation."

"But now it seems that in addition to the consideration of survival, the different information released by multiple consciousnesses is also an important factor. This has a great appeal and influence on them, and they are more inclined to reason and thinking."

Zhou Yi told him: "The specific implementation needs to be done step by step, and we can't rush it. As far as I know, there are also cases where architectural figures have personality conflicts and don't like each other."

The viaduct was an example before. Apart from thinking that the Emerald City was good, it had different opinions about several old alien employees.

Not all architectural life is as easy to get along with as the Buddha.

"Understood. We will be very careful."

Lin Chen took out a thick hardcover notebook from his backpack: "This is a detailed handwritten copy of the alien reinforcement technology, please take a look."

Zhou Yi took it and began to read it.

The manuscript was written in two common scripts, neither of which he could understand, but there were a number of sketches, including of insects, boxes, and some designs, and he could make out some of their meanings by guessing.

He pondered in his mind.

You have to learn the local language when you have time.

"Yuanxiao, Red Falcon."

Zhou Yi put the notebook on the table and told them, "Take notes."

"Yes."

The angels of death and drones began to take pictures and record.

Then Zhou Yi looked at Lin Chen: "Please briefly summarize the principle of this technology."

"Ok."

Lin Chen's lips moved: "The growth and evolution of the alien mainly depends on two parts. One is the strengthening of the body, that is, the further growth of the shell as a building carrier, and the other is the expansion and growth of the consciousness body."

"In terms of the body, each alien has its own natural limitations. Just like common flesh and blood life, there is no way to make them turn into monsters out of thin air, or grow more arms, legs or tails. This is determined by the structure of life itself."

"In the past, the traditional technical means was to enhance through light printing. In fact, it is to imitate the existing enhancement surgery and add an artificial light-absorbing organ to the surface of the alien body."

At this point, he smiled and said, "This method is like wrapping a giant in armor, hoping to use the armor to guide and utilize the giant's power."

"But this is not an in-depth analysis of the alien, but an attempt to naturalize it using our technical system."

"It's like trying to tame a cloud, so you put it in a glass bottle and think it belongs to you. In fact, it's just shit. The further you go, the more wrong it is."

In the end, Lin Chen stopped pretending and showed disdain for this direction.

Rossbill next to him quickly tried to smooth things over: "But it is undeniable that it has high application value."

"This led to the development of alien detonation technology, which has significant effects in the military field."

Zhou Yi nodded: "It seems that you are taking a different route from that one."

"completely different."

Lin Chen waved his hands left and right, making an irrelevant gesture.

"We are taking the second route, expanding and growing the consciousness body."

"This is also the direction of the alien's natural growth and evolution. Compared to using the light printing technique to transform and strengthen the alien's body, it is much more difficult because research in the field of consciousness has always been difficult."

"Except for those conceptual beings that live in the world of consciousness, it is difficult for us material beings to truly understand the structure and form of consciousness."

Talking about his research work, he was full of pride: "Although it is very difficult, this is the right path."

"We conducted a large number of experiments to test the feedback of the aliens in order to find the environment and conditions required for the growth of their consciousness. In the end, we found a method that works." "The various consciousness information of the settlers during their lifetime are the changes and nutrients needed by the aliens. When the settlers die, their fragmented consciousness will be absorbed and captured by them and become part of the aliens."

"But the aliens will also protect the settlers, so strictly speaking, both sides can be regarded as mutually beneficial, closer to a symbiotic relationship."

"The key is how to effectively and quickly provide the aliens with absorbable consciousness."

Lin Chen paused: "Our solution is to find a substitute."

"The most suitable settlers are humans. Aliens are tool life created by prehistoric humans to serve prehistoric humans. We are also humans. Although we have lost the divine power of the Age of Gods, we are still compatible with aliens."

"Unfortunately, the human lifespan is too long. The average age of death for city residents is in their early 30s. It would take too long to strengthen the aliens through human settlers."

"After long-term trials and persistent screening, we finally found an alternative."

He took out another piece of translucent amber from his backpack.

"Look, this is the creature."

Zhou Yi took it and looked at it carefully.

In the amber is a bee, it has thick black fuzz and is round.

"It's the [horse bumble bee], and because horse bears often destroy their hives and eat their honey, they have evolved to be faster, smarter, more social and strategic than other bees."

Lin Chen introduced: "We raise horse bumblebees in the alien and build a large number of beehives so that these bees can continue to live around the alien. Their life span is less than two months long, and the renewal rate is very fast."

"Using this method, we can produce a large number of horse bumblebee consciousnesses. When they die naturally, the consciousnesses left behind can also be absorbed by aliens."

"Using this method, we can replenish a large number of consciousness bodies for the aliens in a short period of time... We can push them to their current limit and reach A+ level strength within one or two years."

Zhou Yi was a little dazed after hearing that.

Is this okay?

He couldn't help but wonder: "In other words, the consciousness of insects can also be absorbed by aliens?"

"No. Most insects are useless against aliens."

Lin Chen said seriously: "According to our inference, it is probably because the lifespan of insects is too short and their consciousness itself is underdeveloped, so they do not meet the basic requirements of the aliens."

"We also tested various species of ants, termites, tent caterpillars that live in groups on the same tree, social spiders that hunt in groups and act together like soldiers... but all failed."

"The horse bumblebee is the most suitable organism we have found and the only insect that is feasible so far. It must have high intelligence and be gregarious and social, and there must be a certain amount of external pressure to prevent its intelligence from declining."

"To achieve this, we will release some horse bears into the wild to create an existential threat to horse bumblebees, forcing them to further evolve in the direction of intelligence."

“After generations of cultivation, the effect is now very good.”

Zhou Yi thought.

The Mechanical Knight has studied aliens for many years and indeed has his own unique insights.

“But there are risks.”

Rossbill next to him added: "According to our field tests and comparative experiments, we found that the aliens strengthened by horse bumblebees grow very fast, and their strength can quickly reach the peak of their current body. However, they will show a phenomenon of reduced intelligence. As their strength increases, their intelligence level decreases, and they are more inclined to be beastly."

"We believe that it is the incorporation of a large number of horse bumblebee consciousnesses that has lowered the average intelligence of the original consciousnesses. Since there are so many new consciousnesses, they have become the masters."

"To put it simply... this method will turn the aliens into beasts."

Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this: "This is putting the cart before the horse."

"indeed."

Lin Chen also nodded and said: "If that's all, then this technology itself has more disadvantages than advantages. Because the beast that just seeks power, why not use a purer weapon?"

"But please listen to me, Mr. Zhou. This technology has a second half of supporting equipment."

"After being influenced by the horse bumblebees, the aliens will tend to have certain beast-like behaviors. At this stage, we will guide and tame them again."

"The specific method is actually not difficult. Aliens are affected by the environment and human life. The more stable the environment, the more restrained and friendly they are. The more turbulent and changeable the environment, the more likely they are to return to their instincts."

"Especially when they are surrounded by their own kind, they are extraordinarily stable."

"We have specially built the [Alien Ring Belt] to house the aliens. The climate and environment there are very good, and there are a large number of humans living around it."

"After being naturally guided, the aliens will quickly stabilize. Then they will have a completely different feature from before, that is, they can dance and use dance to convey information. This is a dance language that originated from horse bumblebees."

Lin Chen's face was full of pride: "This is our complete achievement."

Rossbill spread his hands and said, "Different aliens have different dances. We know they are talking, but we don't know what they are saying."

"But you can see that they enjoy expressing themselves. Although sometimes they would have conflicts because of dancing with each other, they were all minor matters. Everyone wanted to watch and loved to watch them swearing at each other and mocking each other while dancing."

A picture emerged in Zhou Yi's mind.

Two huge buildings stood facing each other, and then one began to dance a mechanical dance, and the other retaliated with a 360-degree Thomas turn Breaking.

This kind of dance language...seems pretty good.

Zhou Yi remembered the classic animated picture from the TV series "Top of the Forbidden City".
