Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 41 Contradiction

Qiansu held the copper kettle in his hand, his lips moving.

"Everything makes sense if the gods say so."

"He looks like he has lived a life of luxury. This kind of temperament and habits are difficult to fake. He has the power to control and drive the light species. He is not afraid of approaching the Dead Sea and does not care about the attack on the warships of the Dead Sea Knights. He dealt with Ji Chang's people neatly and even had time to study the Dead Sea aliens that were stranded on land..."

"But what exactly is here?"

Qiansu looked at the big truck under the watchtower and asked, "Did they attract a celestial being?"

The mission did not answer.

The girl took off her glasses and wiped the lenses with a handkerchief. "Well, the behavior of the celestial beings is hard to understand anyway. They are like this. As celestial beings, all they have to do is follow their own way, but as a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, there are many things to consider."

"Assisting and serving the gods is a citizen's duty, and there is really no way to avoid it."

"I wanted to watch the fun, but I didn't expect that we would be the ones dealing with the warships... Why is it so difficult to make money these days?"

She jumped off the watchtower and nimbly got into the cab: "Partner, you drive forward first. I'll think of something to use to dissuade the Dead Sea Knights from their ship."

The heavy truck drove at high speed towards the shallows of the Dead Sea.

Qiansu holds a telescope in his hand, always keeping an eye on the distance.

"Trouble, it's really a patrol ship...it's the Organ."

A bright flash has appeared in the eyepiece.

The battleships are bombarding the Dead Sea aliens.

Qiansu frowned as he watched: "Are these guys trying to snatch the aliens... Never mind, let's make our stance clear first."

"Target the Organ, prepare the C-class light-blocking rounds, triple-hit mode, block the main gun's light signature and condense the death beam."

There was a mechanical clicking sound coming from the container at the back of the car.

The heavy truck suddenly said, "Things have changed."

Qiansu also discovered it.

Suddenly, luminous bodies rose up around the Dead Sea alien. After rising into the air, many of them fell towards the Dead Sea, causing continuous flashes of light. The roar was delayed for a moment, and the truck also began to sway up and down under the continuous shock waves.

After a dozen seconds, the flames in the Dead Sea gradually dissipated.

A spreading ripple like raindrops appeared on the windshield of the heavy truck, with only one obvious bright red dot on it. The other small red dots within the radiation range were fleeing rapidly in all directions.

"The traces of the Organ have disappeared, and the nearby Light Na species are fleeing."

The real-time information captured by her partner did not surprise Qiansu.

She sighed, "After all, they are celestial beings. The aristocrats of heaven are as strong as ever... It's a pity that we reacted a little slowly, but slower is better than never. Partner, speed up!"

The engine noise of the heavy truck suddenly increased.

However, after it had been running at high speed for a while, it was intercepted by a blue and white sidecar motorcycle.

"The Third Squadron of Tianjin Knights in Shagang is on duty. I am Cui Mao, a Tianjin Knight. The area you are in is under the jurisdiction of my squadron. Please pull over and show your ID!"

"Stop immediately and show your identification!"

Qiansu pursed her lips and looked in the rearview mirror: "Another Knight Order, what a coincidence."

The truck slowly stopped.

She opened the car door and gestured with her arms outstretched.

"Hello, I am a serious businessman, and I have a passport for a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven."

Qian Gu gave the man who got off the motorcycle a professional smile and said, "Mr. Knight, it's really hard for you to be on duty in such a remote place."

"It's my duty. Please cooperate." The other party's voice was calm.

……

After confirming that Emerald City had completely destroyed the Organ, Zhou Yi reconnected all three sets of light blockers to it and buried the chain lines underground to ensure that they would not attract attention.

As for the strength of Emerald City, the Red Falcon said it had no way of judging.

"The strength ratings of the light bodies, various devices, and props are all summarized based on the results of their extensive use. For example, the clawed pig and the long-necked crocodile are all supported by a large amount of data."

"Architectural life itself is very rare, and each architectural life is a unique individual, with different structures and inherited different collective memories. Only a very few have left more data on their deeds and basic electronic atlases."

After connecting to the Recursive City Machine Stack, Hong Xuan is now equivalent to a military advisor and can answer many of Zhou Yi's questions.

It goes on to say: “Architectural life is a very paradoxical existence.”

"It possesses amazing power that other life forms envy and cannot reach. It can directly absorb a large amount of death light as energy for its own operation. They are at least C-class machines by birth. As time goes by, as long as they continue to accumulate death light, they can improve their body strength little by little."

"If they are not completely crushed by a more powerful external force, they are born immortal, the closest thing to immortality in this world. They are born with the long life that many creatures desire."

“But this is also where their weakness comes from.”

“The self-awareness of architectural life is generated by the reaction of the body structure and collective memory. They have a completely closed self-awareness and only move under unfavorable environmental conditions to seek stable and abundant energy areas.”

"They cannot communicate or understand each other, just like people who have lived in a closed castle all their lives. They can see the changes in the outside world, but they don't have the ladder to the outside world. They have to rely on their own power to think, so the growth of consciousness may even be slower than that of insects."

“The body of a giant and the brain of a baby, this is the contradiction of architectural life. Some of their attempts to explore or contact the outside world may cause the destruction of other lives and even the collapse of the regional environment.”

"They are completely different from all existing life forms and are alien species born from the Dead Sea."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but look at the dilapidated building standing next to him.

He remembered that when he was a child, he liked to watch ants and could watch them for a long time.

The ants carry leaves, dead insects, and various human foods that have fallen to the ground.

When he was happy, Zhou Yi would pour water on them to see what they would do when faced with the impact of the water.

Or just step on them and see how they react.

The ants always flee in all directions, and then return tenaciously to take away the prey they have worked so hard to obtain.

The childhood self is to the ants.

This is probably what architectural life means to the new human beings.

Fortunately, with me as the owner committee member, Emerald City has become much more normal.

Zhou Yi raised a question in his mind: "How do we determine the life of a building? If they are in the Dead Sea and fall into a deep sleep, can we identify them from a pile of buildings?"

“This cannot be done.”

The Red Falcon said: "After entering the Dead Sea, the life of the building will once again enter a state of uncertainty between life and death, and continue to absorb various life consciousness signals in the dead light, which is no different from other Dead Sea buildings."

"If we want to determine whether the Dead Sea structures have transformed into life, we can only salvage them from the seabed and completely remove them from the Dead Sea environment."

"But this is very costly. Entering the seabed is very risky, and the huge and heavy building must be completely peeled out and brought all the way to land... If you are lucky enough, you will be faced with a complete state of building life."

"If they wake up, they will represent a huge and unpredictable threat."

High costs, low probability of winning the lottery, unpredictable results... These links are destined to make the development of aliens in the Dead Sea exist only in an ideal state, and no one or organization would be willing to do a losing business.

So the Emerald City appeared, and the Knights of the Dead Sea also wanted to rob it.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think.

15% of the Emerald City is already able to destroy battleships. I wonder what the status of 100% of the Emerald City will be?
