Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 429 The Old King Visits
Ambassador Feng Che is a golden owl with thick golden feathers.

"Mr. Zhou, the magnificent power you displayed in Clockwork City is truly breathtaking and shocking."

It spoke in a gentle and appropriate tone: "His Majesty the Black Emperor has been paying attention to your company for a long time and asked me to make a special report. His Majesty believes that the Wasteland Development Company has strong creativity and action. Moreover, unlike other purely profit-making groups, your company has always been committed to improving the living environment of ordinary people, improving everyone's quality of life, and promoting the fertility rate of various intelligent life forms."

"His Majesty the Black Emperor highly approves of the series of universal values you promote."

Zhou Yi also said politely: "Your Majesty the Black Emperor is too kind. Our company's idea is very simple. It is truly good for everyone to be well. If the number of humans, photons, and electromechanical life forms in this world decreases, the company will not be able to remain immune."

"That's very well said."

Feng Che opened his eyes wide, smiled and shook his feathers: "This visit, I am ordered by His Majesty to send you a formal invitation."

"Heaven sincerely invites you and the Wasteland Development Company to participate in Heaven's annual "Everything Expo" this fall. This year's Expo will be held in Xianzhi City in the Panda Autonomous Region. If you have time, please be sure to attend. His Majesty the Black Emperor hopes to have a private chat with you at that time."

It was the first time Zhou Yi heard this name, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is the Universal Exposition?"

Feng Che said: "This is a large-scale event with a long history. It started when the Kingdom of Heaven was first established. Many sea lords would meet His Majesty the Black Emperor once a year and present some gifts."

"Your Majesty has set a special time to meet with visiting sea lords every autumn to strengthen the relationship through gatherings."

"During this period, the lords of the seas would exchange gifts and display the specialties of their respective territories. His Majesty eventually turned this into a public exhibition, the Expo of All Things."

"To put it simply, each organization invited by Heaven will be given an area at the Expo to display their various products and treasures, and those who like them can buy them directly. The same is true for Heaven."

"This event is large-scale, with the world's most influential organizations and groups attending. There are often eye-catching items that become the craze of the year, so the commercial effect of the Expo is very good."

Zhou Yi understood.

This was originally a tribute activity, but was later transformed by the Black Emperor into a trade fair where everyone bought from each other.

The Exposition of Everything is hosted by the Black Emperor, and those who are eligible to be invited to participate are the richest people and rulers in the wasteland world.

It can be seen as a club of the rich and powerful created by heaven.

The explosion of Clockwork City directly won the approval of Black Emperor, who granted it an admission ticket.

Zhou Yi thought this was a good opportunity.

I really have to make this trip in the fall to bring goods to the rich people in this world.

Zhou Yi said: "Thank you for the invitation, His Majesty the Black Emperor. I will come to visit you in the fall."

"That's great!"

Feng Che whispered, "If you want to go, I don't have to stay in the Shuanghe area. As your guide, I can go with you."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "That's great. It won't be boring if I have someone I know along the way."

"Hey, I'm trying to please you."

The owl spread its wings and said, "Then let me take my leave now and not waste your time. I will come back to pick you up in the fall."

"Walk slowly."

Zhou Yi watched Feng Che leave.

Then he turned his attention back to the armed rights squad.

"Go on. Have you found anything else about the Giant Killer?"

Curling said: "Chairman, the Giant Killer has a very dangerous characteristic, which is the ability to intercept and capture external consciousness. When I fight it, it cuts my consciousness into pieces and then captures them one by one."

"If we are ambushed by them in an encounter, it will be very dangerous."

Zhou Yixin said of course.

This is the gem technology of the Celestials, a device built using their gem cells.

Black gemstones are tools specifically designed to act on consciousness.

"Another thing is that I read the source of the Giant Killer in reverse, and there is a part of residual consciousness in the base connected to its lens."

Curling continued, "It came from a creature called the Light Core Giant. One of its arms was separated and transformed into this appearance. But there is no way to know more."

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows.

No wonder it is called the Giant Killer.

The prototype of this device is the arm of the light nuclear giant.

At this moment, the red kestrel suddenly flew over: "Zhou, there is a new visitor."

"What's the background?"

"The old king's messenger."

Zhou Yixin said, everyone is really realistic.

Blow up the Clockwork City.

First the Black Emperor invited him, then the Old King came to visit.

I didn’t have this kind of treatment and recognition in the past.

"Bring him in."

A few minutes later, Red Falcon led someone up.

The visitor was a Iron Guard wearing a black robe and carrying a sword. There were two pitch-black eye holes on his long copper mask.

Zhou Yi looked at the other person and said, "Ding Ye?"

"Hey! Mr. Zhou, how did you recognize me?"

The other party was surprised.

"I am very familiar with the Beiyang sword on your back. The way the double-stranded cloth is wrapped around the hilt is your style."

It subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword on its back.

"So that's how it is... An hour ago, I suddenly received a special order from the Sword Tomb, sending a flying vehicle to bring me here to visit you."

"After I arrived here, I got the follow-up order and learned that it was the old king who gave the order himself. I felt a little confused and thought something had gone wrong."

Ding Ye stretched his arms and said, "But this is to avoid information leakage, so I am allowed to go this way." Zhou Yi said, "What did the old king ask you to convey?"

"I'm not delivering a message. The old king wants to use me as a vehicle to talk to you." Ding Ye said.

"Then contact it."

"it is good."

Tetsubei's body suddenly stiffened, and the eye holes on his mask flashed red, then turned green after the light stabilized.

"Hello, Zhou Yi."

Same tone and voice.

But Zhou Yi knew that the opponent was no longer Ding Ye, but the old king who led tens of thousands of satellites.

"Hello, old king."

The other party said: "The survey telescope has observed and analyzed the Clockwork City. The explosive weapon you threw is a LV4 light nuclear material. It can be seen that you are already capable of handling matters at the light nuclear body level."

These older generation rebels have a high level of understanding and mastery of the photonuclear body.

Zhou Yi said, "I can't say I can handle it, but I'm just really angry. We young people are bound to be impulsive and hot-tempered."

Old King: "It's good to be impulsive. It's sad to have no impulse and courage. You did the right thing. If you have strength, you should show it. The Mechanical and Electrical City has infringed on your interests. Attacking is the best way to negotiate."

Although it was only their first contact, Zhou Yi found that the old king's personality was quite to his liking.

It praised: "The floating heart you made is very useful, an outstanding invention."

Zhou Yi said: "This is the invention of the engineers in the company. It is their ability."

“Individuals and groups are never clearly distinguished. Individual creations and inventions cannot be separated from the group environment. For the group to continue and grow, it also needs the fighting spirit and further self-development of the individuals.”

“Without the stage set by Wasteland Corporation, they would not be able to turn their ideas into reality and leverage changes on the physical side.”

“This is undoubtedly a high-quality invention by an individual, but it is also a successful incubation of Wasteland Corporation.”

The old king spoke in a straightforward and clear scientific and technical manner, and was very pragmatic.

Completely different from what Zhou Yi had expected.

"Let's not waste time on small talk. I came to you this time because you are capable enough. I hope you can work with our Star Pivot Matrix to develop extraterrestrial space and other planets."

what?
Zhou Yi's smile froze when he heard this.

Exploiting outer space and other planets...

Wouldn't this be a step too big?
The old king said: "Having mastered the controllable light nuclear power, whether it is the light nuclear body or the light nuclear-level device, we already have the foundation and qualifications to leave this world."

"The Celestial Beings are covering this world, and this situation will continue for the foreseeable future. So no matter how things develop or change here, the world's upper limit will always be locked."

"So I have always believed that we need to go out and find another place. Otherwise, the higher the level of development on the ground in this world, the more restrictions we will face."

Zhou Yi's face was solemn.

That's quite true.

He asked, "Xingshu is already developing extraterrestrial projects?"

"Yes."

The old king said: "At present, our main work is "Mars preliminary exploration and camp development" and "extraterrestrial ultra-small controllable circular flow."

Zhou Yi hissed when he heard it.

The extraterrestrial development of this star matrix is probably unique in the wasteland world.

He immediately asked, "Controlled circular flow...Are you going to create an artificial Dead Sea? Have you come this far?"

“It’s still under development. Although this project has been going on for 74 years, there are always too many new problems that arise and it takes a long time to advance.”

"Both projects are taking place on Mars," said the old king.

"The two closest celestial bodies to Earth, or the world, are Venus and Mars. In comparison, Mars has more abundant resource potential and is more suitable for future development and utilization."

"The surface of Mars is rich in metal minerals such as iron, nickel, aluminum, and titanium. Iron oxide makes Mars appear red and can provide enough metals for the manufacture of various devices and facility foundations."

“The Earth’s crust contains large amounts of silicates, which are used to make glass, ceramics and building materials.”

"There is a large amount of water ice at the poles and underground on Mars, which can be used to support life and produce oxygen and fuel. The atmosphere is rich in carbon dioxide, which can be used to produce oxygen and methane fuel."

“So we have chosen Mars as the first extraterrestrial base,” it concluded.

“The basic camp is already running, but there are still many challenges in drilling resources.”

"The average temperature on Mars is about -60°C, and the lowest can reach -125°C, which is a great challenge for equipment. The Iron Guards we have activated will be greatly affected by the long-term low temperatures there."

"The local atmosphere is about 1% of the Earth's. The intensity of cosmic radiation and solar radiation is high. Whether it is early engineering machinery or the current Iron Guards, the service life will be greatly reduced..."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but interrupt: "Are you using Tiebingwei to develop Mars?"

"Yes."

The old king did not hide anything: "In fact, the Iron Guard was completely developed by the Star Matrix. Proclaiming the Skeleton Man and the Beiyang Corps as the inventors is just to reduce unnecessary trouble."

Zhou Yi looked solemn: "What is your relationship with the Skeleton Man?"

The other party laughed and said, "The Skeletons have always been the main ethnic group absorbed by the Star Pivot Matrix."

"We will select the best from the skeletons and grant them the status of Star Hub Voters. On their own initiative, we will help them become Iron Guards, so they can walk on Earth and Mars, or enter satellites and live as Data Voters."

It sounds like the Beiyang Corps is just a vest of the Star Matrix on the ground.

Just like the Spring and Autumn Merchants Group to the Recursive Market.

"Based on our observations and verification, we have confirmed that there is life on Mars, and there is more than one type."

The old king paused and said, "In particular, we found a large number of Terrorclaws there - that is, electric cats."

"Wasteland Development Company, are you interested in developing Mars together?"
