Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 52 Body Expansion
The winter response meeting was still going on. Zhou Yi allowed everyone to discuss freely while he focused his attention on the screen of the remote control.

From a bird's-eye view, the Red Kestrel's camera focuses on the Emerald City.

According to Zhou Yi's request, Emerald City did not waste resources on rebuilding the 32nd and 33rd floors. It only repaired and sealed the damaged part of the 31st floor, making this floor officially the top floor. The container house on the other side of the top floor was added with an outer wall, which was completely integrated into the building.

At this moment, a faint green light lingered on the exterior wall of the building.

The Emerald City announced news after news.

“All residential management functions have been restored.”

“The registration of owners and residents is synchronized in real time.”

"The access control system has been activated and non-registered persons will be prohibited from entering and expelled."

"Every household has access to water and heating, drainage and water supply pipes are fully covered, and rainwater and sewage are separated."

"The waterproof layer and fire isolation zone have been repaired."

……

After the management of Jade City was formalized, container houses were also regarded as formal residential houses, and the maintenance and property fees paid also referred to 3101. Every employee of the company needed to complete the registration.

Zhou Yi immediately led the employees to complete the registration one by one.

The sand and stone exterior wall downstairs has also been completely renewed at this moment, becoming a combination wall of earth and stone structure and metal fence. There is an entrance and exit on the front and back of the wall. One is a fan-shaped metal main door transformed from old building materials, and the other is a completely unenclosed fire escape at the back.

The appearance of the updated fence has been greatly improved, but its actual function still needs to be tested.

Zhou Yi grabbed a bone fish and threw it towards the wall. It was bounced to the ground by a circle of white ripples in mid-air, still twisting and jumping.

A voice that only Zhou Yi could hear came from the Emerald City: "Private community, non-owners and residents are not allowed to enter, this is a warning."

He picked up the bone fish and threw it continuously. By the third time, the intensity of the ripples suddenly increased, blowing the bone fish into pieces.

Zhou Yi was very satisfied with this.

"Very good. To ensure everyone's living safety, we have to increase the intensity."

Red Falcon assesses that.

The destructive power of the access control system has reached the level of a C-class weapon.

With the new security system, Zhou Yi withdrew the warrior crabs and allowed them to move freely in the near-shore area.

He explained the access control situation to the employees.

Only after the registered residents (i.e. company employees) bring people for temporary registration, will Emerald City allow outsiders to enter this time, but it will also be recorded.

This made the employees very excited.

Although the warrior crab army is very good, the absolute defense of the settlement still gives people a greater sense of security.

Especially the former pirate leader Yuan Tong. He would wander around the outer wall every day, observing everywhere with his only remaining right eye, and secretly knocking with a small hammer, trying to figure out the principle.

He also suggested, "Chairman, if we can replicate this access control power with a light imprint, we will have a strategic-level weapon! Whether it is set up on a high-rise building, near the sea, or on a ship, it will have a huge deterrent effect!"

"Is there any way to unfold the light print inside? Although I don't know how to make light prints, during those years in the shipyard, replicating light prints was the job of our craftsmen. As long as we have the original template, we can find a way to imitate it."

Yuan Tong was very positive about this and was eager to try it out.

Too bad there's no template for this.

To analyze and replicate the structure of the light nanoseed, a highly advanced printing technique and a complete set of corresponding equipment are required. The Wasteland Development Company does not yet have the ability to conduct research and development based on the light nanoseed.

The ability to build life has never been replicated.

……

However, compared with the new skills of Emerald City, all the above changes seem insignificant.

The Emerald City's description of this is simple.

"After a lot of attempts, I have confirmed this ability. I can now consume energy and corresponding materials to expand the capacity of my body."

Zhou Yi was a little confused when he heard it for the first time.

He was a little uncertain: "Expand? Continue to add more floors?"

"No, Commissioner. The height limit is fixed, and the ceiling is 33 floors. This is also the limit that my body structure can withstand. The expansion is not vertical, but horizontal."

Emerald City said: "Emerald City originally had 12 units, including 33 high-rise buildings with 8 floors, 11 small high-rise buildings with 4 floors, and a two-story underground garage, which is also the final volume I can expand."

"After the expansion, each unit is a part of my body. They are the 12 extensions of my body to the outside."

“The 12-unit Emerald City is truly complete.”

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed.

If the complete 12 tough guys version of Emerald City is spread out, it will be a coastal fortress that can attack and defend at the same time. Even if the Seventh Fleet is reorganized and attacks, it can still fight them. He immediately asked: "How much raw materials and energy consumption are needed for expansion?"

"The raw materials are no different from those used for restoration. As long as the quantity is sufficient and some natural materials are processed locally, the capacity can be expanded."

Emerald City said: "The energy consumption of expansion is very high. Taking my body energy as a reference, the energy consumption of building a small high-rise is about 3 times the full energy, and the energy consumption of building a high-rise is about 10 times the full energy."

Zhou Yi did the math.

The three light blockers are now charged at the same time, and under the premise of maintaining the Emerald City's main body without consuming energy, 3% of the energy can be charged every day. It takes 11 days to build an 100-story small high-rise building, and it takes nearly a year to build a 33-story elevator high-rise building.

The premise is that the three chargers run at full power every day and are not damaged.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment and immediately decided: "Expand a small high-rise building first."

"Yes, Commissioner."

After obtaining authorization, Emerald City started construction on an empty lot nearby.

The ground collapsed like grease melted by high temperature.

Steel bars are pulled from the material area one by one. They are intertwined with each other in an orderly manner and slowly rise upwards like some special plants, constructing a frame full of geometric beauty.

The surrounding sand seemed to be squeezed and smoothed by invisible hands, slowly rising and falling and adjusting, forming square trenches, and the entire area was shrouded in a faint white light rising from the ground.

Similar to the information age, construction still creates all kinds of noise and stirs up a lot of dust.

In the past, Zhou Yi would always avoid construction sites to avoid being caught in a scourge.

But in this wasteland era, the noisy construction site gives people a sense of vitality, bringing slow but visible changes.

Standing on the roof, Zhou Yi looked at the construction site below and an idea came to his mind.

We need to bring more life to the building.

If we put them together, maybe we can build a small city.

Now more light blockers are needed to speed up house building.

Let the future generations of the wasteland era experience the power of real estate!
Zhou Yi immediately took out his diary and wrote down his latest plan.

——Collect and recruit more building lives.

He began to miss the arms dealer Qian Su.

It’s been a month, why hasn’t he come yet? Could he have been robbed by a robbery group?
Logically speaking, she has a C-level partner "mission", a container of weapons, and is a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven and an honorary knight. There shouldn't be anyone so blind as to dare to cause trouble for her.

Zhou Yi sincerely hoped that the young businesswoman could have a safe journey and return here with the goods.

After catching her this time, I must buy her a lot and take down all her stock! Then let her go to restock!
……

Sand Harbor.

In a luxurious restaurant.

The girl covered her mouth and laughed: "You are such a joke. My body has been transformed so much that I can no longer have children. My body looks soft, but it is actually made of hard and flesh-crushing metal. It will be very scary after taking off my clothes..."

The fat guest who was smoking opposite shook his head and held up the wine glass: "Miss Qian Su, you don't know. Nowadays, many people like high-strength bodies, and they can be replaced with various models. The original fragile and delicate flesh is too easy to break. The body made up of prosthetic limbs can withstand all kinds of pleasures and allow people to hehe freely..."

Qian Su showed a curious look: "So, Boss Sha has a lot of customers and orders in this area? Is there a chance to introduce them to you?"

"Okay, okay, you're so cute, Qiansu, everyone will definitely want to meet you."

Boss Sha's eyes flashed with cunning. "But those guests can only be met at gatherings with special rules. Can a noble citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven like you accept this?"

Qiansu cursed in her heart.

She smiled and poured him a glass of wine. "It sounds like a private place that is kept secret. I'm too clumsy. Sometimes my brain isn't very smart. I just work hard to deliver goods everywhere. I'm destined to run a small business."

"Excuse me."

Qiansu lowered her head, turned her face to the side, covered her mouth and sneezed.

Two in a row.

The air in the room was indeed not very good, with the smell of cigarettes, alcohol, bad breath, sweat, various fragrances, and the mixed smell of food. But she had long been accustomed to this environment.

Who is talking about yourself?
It should not be.

After all, all his family members had died long ago.

Qiansu pulled herself back to her senses and resumed her warm smile like the spring breeze.

"Come on, Mr. Sha, have another glass. You are the only one who knows how to appreciate this Liangshan bamboo wine."

"Hahaha, it's really good wine. I'll buy a few bottles later."
