Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 434: The picture shows the dagger
The fourth day after the Clockwork City completely disappeared.

This incident has thoroughly fermented in the Development League, and the attitudes of the sea owners are varied.

Some say that we should be prepared to defend against retaliation from the legal front.

Some people also believe that promoting a company's various products while they are hot will help increase sales.

Lord Mieding suggested another attack, directly bombing Mirror City, which is a scientific research center, to expand the strategic advantage and exert further pressure.

Zhou Yi decided to stay put.

Curling takes the electric cats to Mars for support, but there is also the light core body and the cat god here.

It integrates many capabilities, has considerable concealment and strength, and can directly lead many electric cats. It is Zhou Yi's shadow bodyguard.

Day .

Red Falcon flew over and said, "Zhou, the legal side requested to contact us."

"catch."

The cold and majestic male voice rang out again from the loudspeaker: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, we deeply apologize for the misunderstanding and conflict between us."

"The source involves the existing mechanism of the program. After a lot of calculations and corrections, we still couldn't find a suitable optimization method, so we sought an external manual intervention mechanism."

Zhou Yi immediately became alert.

Is this because you can’t get rid of it?

Is the legal line being shaken by the Kingdom of Heaven, the Star Pivot, or... the Celestial Being?
"Finally we selected someone to handle this matter instead of the legal process."

"Today, the legal front's artificial intervention representative and special envoy Shang Yang will arrive in your place and will work hard to discuss and resolve this issue with you."

It turned out to be Shang Yang.

Zhou Yi felt a little relieved.

But if you think about it carefully, the law can't shake the heavenly beings, and the heavenly beings don't care about the things on the ground. As long as the life of the whole world does not decrease drastically and as long as the circular flow is still running, this colony is available to them.

Their focus is on the solar wall, on the Jupiter side.

Just an hour and a half later.

The Legal Front's envoys arrived in the Emerald City.

"Nice to meet you."

The other party clasped his fists.

Zhou Yi was very surprised: "Are you Shang Yang?"

"I am Shang Yang."

Standing in front of him was a panda man, wearing a black robe, a white belt around his waist, with a sharp gaze. The panda man had a thick black beard and held a bamboo stick with a gourd hanging on it.

It looks quite heroic, more like a martial artist than a programmer and reformer.

It was completely different from what Zhou Yi had expected.

"Most people have never seen me in person, so it's natural for them to think this way. After all, I'm the only living being imprisoned in City 404."

Shang Yang never looked away.

Zhou Yi waved his hand and said, "Please sit down."

Shang Yang put the bamboo stick in his hand against the wall and sat down on the sofa.

"any drinks?"

"If there is tea, use tea. If there is no tea, use water."

Panda people are very health-conscious.

Yuanxiao poured two cups of green tea, placed them in front of Zhou Yi and Shang Yang, and then stepped aside.

Zhou Yi asked: "You are a panda man, why did you become an electromechanical programmer and study with Pangu?"

"It's a long story. Since Mr. Zhou wants to hear it, I'll tell you about these old stories."

The other party pondered for a while.

"In the early days, I followed the Black Emperor and was a member of the Dawn Guard. After the United Resistance failed, I withdrew from the Guard due to injuries."

"Because I found that the path of force is not feasible. Because the top level of this world is the celestial beings, and the gap between the local life forms and their level is too large. Direct confrontation is tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg. If you want to survive, you have to recognize this reality, which requires detours and patience."

Zhou Yi nodded after hearing this.

Shang Yang added: "In my opinion, the life forms with the highest growth potential and the greatest potential in this world are electromechanical life forms."

"They have the strongest and fastest learning ability. The learning and experience of each individual can be fully transmitted to other individuals and constantly corrected and strengthened. Their powerful manufacturing and inheritance capabilities are unmatched by other races."

"So I think that to change this world, we have to rely on electromechanical life. We have to fully stimulate them to operate, improve their mobilization capabilities and organization, and enhance the combat effectiveness of the electromechanical life group."

"So I studied with Mr. Pangu from the Mecha Knights."

"Under the careful guidance of my teacher, I became a mechatronics programmer, and was able to understand the survival mechanism of mechatronics and learn their perspective on the world."

Shang Yang looked at the table.

The hot steam in the teacup is rising slowly, and the mist in the room cooled by the refrigerator is clear.

“The time of learning is the purest and happiest. Knowledge itself is the fairest. As long as you learn it, it can be used by you.”

It slowly said: "When I started to apply what I learned, I found that problems kept popping up."

“I pushed for Legislative City Transformation.”

"It was a very small city, with a total population of less than 1, including 1721 mechatronic beings, 7503 humans, and 441 photonic beings. At that time, the initial version of the "Law" already existed, but it still had many flaws."

Zhou Yi had heard of this.

Shang Yang supported the death penalty in the Legislative City and executed many mechanical and electrical lives. His strict law enforcement led to the worsening development of the entire city, and the transformation was declared a failure.

Eventually, Shang Yang was judged by Suzheng City and the Security Department to be extremely dangerous and a threat to the entire electromechanical society. He was arrested and sent to City 404.

"It's convenient for you to know." The panda nodded: "After being imprisoned, I was sentenced to life imprisonment. The panda people have a long lifespan. I am a skywalker. Although I was seriously injured in the war, I should have no problem living normally for a few hundred years."

"Wait a moment."

Zhou Yi was very concerned about this: "Why were you sent to 404 to serve instead of to Heavenly Prison? According to Heavenly Law, the Pandaren should be extradited back to Heaven."

"I have been deprived of my citizenship of the Kingdom of Heaven by the Black Emperor. I am no longer protected by the Kingdom of Heaven."

Shang Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

"But this is not more important."

Zhou Yi really wanted to get to the bottom of it, but it seemed that Shang Yang didn't want to say anything.

He stopped there.

"That's the end of the gossip."

Shang Yang said, "I am here as a representative of the legal front to negotiate patent issues. Mr. Zhou, your request is to ask the legal front to pay the patent fees for the related supporting facilities of the electric cat system. Is there any problem with my understanding?"

Zhou Yi nodded.

“The Legal Front is willing to pay this fee and deeply apologizes for the previous blacklisting and closed-loop procedures.”

The panda explained: "Please believe that this is not intentional to harm the interests of your company, but the legal principle can only be implemented according to the existing procedures. As long as it is a procedure, there will be loopholes. These loopholes can only be repaired after they are discovered later, because the legal principle still follows the principle of procedural justice."

Zhou Yi was noncommittal: "If I hadn't bombed the Clockwork City, would the law have responded so quickly, or even introduced external human intervention?"

The other party was silent for a while.

Zhou Yi said: "The past cannot be changed. Let's talk about patent fees. This is the most important thing at the moment."

"it is good."

Shang Yang nodded: "Your company will share the floating heart technology patent with Yin Shang Investment Company and other institutions. The price is 300 million light seeds."

"If you are willing to share the core electric cat training technology and the electric cat manual authorization with the Legal Front, we are willing to pay 1200 million light seeds."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "No need to discuss this."

The company still needs to have firm control over the core technology of electric cats.

This technology not only includes the construction parameters of the curved house, but also the cat-raising process of cat keepers, as well as the valuable experience explored by various departments and electric cat employees.

The transfer of Dianmao alone is enough to generate a steady stream of cash flow, and the number of 1200 million is actually not much.

"what a pity."

Shang Yang added: "For the patents of the existing supporting facilities and equipment such as the electric cat infrastructure, the curved house, the electric ball, the cat house, the electric cat stick, the electrolytic cat box, and the sky and ground net, the legal theory has made an assessment. We are willing to pay 300 million light seeds for this. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Okay."

By giving money as a sign of sincerity, both parties can retain some dignity.

"However, all cities in the Legal Front are currently investing heavily in agriculture, military industry, and basic industrial product manufacturing. A large amount of light seeds have been invested in various fields. It will take a long time to mobilize this amount of money. It is estimated to take 3 to 6 months."

The panda man said: "There is another faster way, which is to use the tax revenue of the mechanical and electrical city and existing goods to offset it. If this settlement method is adopted, we are willing to increase the amount to 310 million."

"The Wasteland Development Company has been removed from the sanctions list and blacklist. Your company can access the page of any mechatronic city through the machine stack."

Zhou Yi's heart was moved when he heard this.

This seems good too.

He immediately picked up the enhanced controller next to him to test it.

Among the cities that Zhou Yi could visit, Recursive City became a company-controlled city, Energy Storage City disappeared, and Coral Mouth returned to heaven.

The mass production city can also be visited.

The city page had a huge list of products, which overwhelmed Zhou Yi.

After Fali came to power, the variety and quantity of goods sold increased significantly.

The panda man next to him said, "Mr. Zhou can choose whatever he wants. If necessary, he can directly connect to the three largest electromechanical cities, Mirror City, Holy Mountain, and Snow County, and the paid services provided can also be deducted."

Zhou Yi pondered in his heart.

That's not bad.

Many things produced by the Mechanical and Electrical City cannot be manufactured in Shagang, and some must be purchased from outside, such as medicines, medical equipment, rubber, plastics, fertilizers, vehicles, various photolithography tools, etc.

It would be nice to use this money to offset these necessities.

But there is a more important matter to be resolved at the moment.

Zhou Yi looked at Shang Yang beside him and said, "Is it about time?"

The other party was puzzled: "What do you mean almost?"

"I mean, you've almost warmed up, right? The light nuclear weapon hidden in your body..."

The panda's pupils suddenly shrank.

Just as it was about to attack, it suddenly froze in place.

Maoshen's [BGM field] has completely controlled it.

A thin red light pierced the panda man's back.

After a while.

Feedback from the concentrator outside the window.

"Chairman, the energy diffusion reaction in its body cannot be stopped. There are still 15 minutes left on the countdown. It is best to take it into the Dead Sea and detonate it."

Zhou Yi took a sip of tea.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look first."
