Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 629 Industrial Globalization

When Zhou Yi entered the inpatient ward.

The engineer, dressed in a hospital gown, was slurping down a packet of instant noodles while reviewing his battle highlights on the enhanced controller.

Wang Shunli frantically winked, "Dad, the chairman is here to see you."

Wang Anquan responded with an "oh".

"Chairman... ah? Chairman?"

He seemed to realize this only then, and hurriedly put down the bowl of noodles in his hand.

Zhou Yi took off his hat and mask and greeted him with a smile: "Congratulations on winning the championship, Engineer Wang. This is the first championship won by mankind in the Electromechanical Masters Competition. I came here as soon as I heard about it."

Upon hearing about the Masters Tournament, Wang Anquan relaxed slightly and smiled, "Thank you, thank you, Chairman. The company's Wasteland Armor is really useful; otherwise, conventional mechs simply can't compete with Electromechanical Lifeforms."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Yi turned around and saw that it was Yuk the octopus.

"Chairman, I apologize for being late. A large-scale experiment is still not finished... that's why I'm here."

"It's alright, work is more important."

Zhou Yi didn't care.

He called Yuke over mainly because he wanted to get to know Wang Anquan from the perspective of his lab colleagues.

Wang Anquan is a mecha enthusiast. Wang Shunli is a strange kid; while others hope their sons will become successful, he hopes his father will become successful and fully supports his father's career and interests.

When it comes to the field of mecha, opinions from professionals are more reliable.

Zhou Yi first said to Wang Anquan, "I'd like to see your modified armor. Can you still operate it?"

"sure."

Wang Anquan answered without hesitation.

So the group left the hospital and arrived at Yalong Bay. Several large buildings had already been erected there, one of which was the finished product workshop for the Wasteland Armor, used for maintenance and testing.

Inside the workshop, several skeletons were inspecting two wasteland armors.

Wang Anquan retrieved a suit of armor marked with a white "Modified 47" from the warehouse manager.

"Chairman, this is the wasteland armor I modified."

He pointed to the pair of fists on the humanoid armor: "This is the [Sealing Fist], which is a very common short-range weapon and a standard close-combat weapon in the Master Tournament."

Wang Anquan took a toolbox from the shelf next to him and skillfully removed the sealed fists from the front of the armor's hands, replacing them with basic mechanical hands.

Then he opened the back cover of the machine and crawled inside.

Yuk, who was standing nearby, understood and instructed another skeleton operator to take control of a wasteland armor [82] and begin sparring with Wang Anquan.

Two humanoid mechs, each 3 meters tall, immediately began training.

The skeleton-controlled No. 82 was extremely agile, constantly throwing jabs while moving, with a higher frequency of movements than the previous two generations that Zhou Yi had seen, but it just couldn't touch No. 47.

Number 47, like a martial arts expert, easily dodged the attack with minimal sidestepping.

It swayed from side to side, strolling leisurely under the opponent's high-frequency attacks.

Finally, number 47 simply used a takedown, locking number 82 in a near-throw technique, and knocking him out.

Just as Wang Shunli described it, it is as light as a butterfly and as precise as a bee.

It can be described as a mecha version of Ali in the wasteland era.

Zhou Yi saw it.

Number 47 is constantly absorbing the ripples from the outside world into its body.

Wang Anquan's wasteland armor read 82 consciousness ripples throughout the entire process.

So this is how the actions of anticipating and reading the other party's instructions are achieved.

The vast majority of actions are the result of thought.

Even if you can anticipate the other party's intentions by just one second, it's enough to react and develop a countermeasure.

The discussion continues.

This time, five armored soldiers surrounded No. 47, but it still managed to evade them with ease.

With its agile, moonwalk-like steps, it showed no sign of being a massive 3-meter-tall armored creature. One punch after another, it quickly defeated the attackers one by one.

If you install the [Sealing Fist], the battle will end faster.

After Wang Anquan opened the back cover and came out of the machine, his forehead was covered in sweat, but he looked very energetic and seemed to be enjoying the feeling of piloting.

Zhou Yi asked him, "Approximately what range of commands can you read using the [Emerald Eye]?"

"Approximately 12 meters in radius."

"Cannot be read outside this range?"

"That's not quite right. It's just that it's very vague, so its accuracy is unreliable."

Zhou Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

Wang Anquan enthusiastically explained, "Activating the [Emerald Eye] continuously consumes consciousness nerves, turning it into a consumable. Consciousness nerves are a precious company material, and obtaining them is very difficult each time. It would be great if we could have more..."

"What is the approximate consumption rate?" "Each consciousness nerve, after being connected to the Stone Reduction Reactor, can last for about 70 minutes. However, if the opponent changes a lot, this time will be reduced accordingly."

After listening, Zhou Yi thought for a moment and immediately told Wang Anquan about the matter of reading consciousness nerves and commands.

The armored engineer was somewhat surprised: "So it's reading the consciousness domain? I thought it was the refraction effect of the light imprint, allowing us to see the opponent's internal reactions in advance."

"An experiment will make it clear."

Zhou Yi laughed and said to the octopus Yuk next to him, "Your level is D, right?"

"Yes, Chairman."

"Try to launch some attacks on number 47."

Wang Anquan returned to his mech and skillfully dodged the attacks from the water octopuses.

His somewhat shocked voice came from inside the mech: "So that's how you read consciousness commands... Then this is incredibly useful... As long as the other party is thinking, there's a possibility of breaking through the perception barrier!"

Zhou Yi was not surprised.

He was one of the earliest users of the consciousness nerve.

This unique element is a natural material with a consciousness conversion rate of 4.5%.

I never expected that the combination of consciousness nerves, flying silk, and stone slough reactor would produce such a powerful chemical reaction.

He immediately put Turing in charge of leading a team to tackle this new technology.

A month later.

Turing's team reached a conclusion.

"Chairman, the [Emerald Eye] is indeed a very magical technology. We consulted Canghai Jun, who focuses on the field of consciousness, and Mr. Afeng, who is in charge of developing the flying silk, and also had Emerald City test the stone molting."

"The basic technical principle can be determined. The core is that the slag reactor will create a small vortex of consciousness fragments. Based on this vortex, the flying filaments will adsorb and enrich the nearby fragments, just like a fishing net that catches floating objects. Then, the consciousness nerves will connect with the operator through this internal structure, thus enabling the timely detection of the other party's thoughts and actions."

"Actually, it's because the target is thinking deeply, and in a short period of time, it will release a large number of similar consciousness fragments, and some of these fragments will be read out."

"This mechanism has a wide range of applications and can be used as a receiver or radar in the field of consciousness. By increasing the scale of the molten rock reactor, increasing the number of flying filaments, and filling it with more consciousness nerves, it can read more widely and more accurately."

"If we link it with the evil brain motor, we can remotely read the information in the evil brain, which will produce very promising and growth-oriented results."

"We request that the scale of consciousness nerve cultivation be expanded and the planting scale of the strange radish field be significantly increased."

Turing said, "Because in this technological system, it is a core consumable material that will continue to wear down and shorten during use, and the current order of magnitude is far from sufficient."

Zhou Yi pondered for a long time.

Expanding the farmland of the "strange radish" is something we've been working on for a while now.

After all, this is a consumable resource.

The more elements, the better.

Now a bold idea popped into his head.

Prudent.

Zhou Yi still sought out Xiao Fu to discuss it.

"You want to let outsiders grow these weird radishes?"

Xiaofu was initially surprised, but immediately understood his thinking: "I get it. You want to obtain a continuous supply of raw materials for consciousness nerves by having large-scale planting in various regions outside."

"This will create a large flow of consciousness in the market, and there will be no shortage of supply."

"While they will certainly know some of the technical applications, the entire technical standards and the complete set of mature applications are under the company's control. We already have neural processing technology, information conversion equipment, and now we also have the highly mature wasteland armor..."

"Ultimately, they all have to follow the company's technology system, either providing raw materials or becoming part of the downstream of the consciousness and nervous system, producing and processing parts, and selling finished products."

"The previous electric cat system has proven to be an effective way to promote this."

"That's a good idea! We can do it!"

The tracer agreed, but also pointed out: "However, the consciousness nerve itself is highly complete and can be used directly. The only problem is that it may be based on such advanced raw materials, which may lead to new technologies that impact the company's existing system."

Zhou Yi was quite frank: "If there are companies that do it better than us, that's a good thing. We'll buy from them and learn from them, which will be more helpful in promoting the entire system. We can't let wasteland development companies drive and develop all the new technologies and products. This world is big, and there's enough space to accommodate all kinds of new things."

"Our current goal is to promote the consciousness neural system so that people in all regions know that growing the strange radish can be profitable and make money, so that people will be willing to grow it long-term. As long as we can achieve this, we will have succeeded."

Xiao Fu sighed, "That's true. There's a saying among those who trace the flow: 'Take eight and keep two.' This means that every time we scavenge for civilization, we can't take everything with us; we also need to leave some space for other scavengers and passersby."

"If everyone can get some benefits, the conflicts between them won't be so sharp. This is an experience that the researchers have gained over the years."

Zhou Yi nodded.

His thinking was actually quite simple.

The goal is globalization, with everyone participating in the industry. This way, we become interconnected, creating a closer community of shared interests.

Given enough time, this cohesion will build up into a momentum, and if the bond is strong enough, it will be difficult for human forces to break them apart.

This is good for all regions and companies.

and.

This also laid a solid rear foundation for dealing with the Celestials in the future.
