Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 631 The Awareness of Development for All
Emerald City, No. 3101.

Today we have a distinguished and special guest.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It is truly an honor to have His Majesty the Second Black Emperor grace us with his presence."

The visitor responded politely with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you are too kind. The Wasteland Development Company is now promoting the overseas expansion of the consciousness side, and Heaven will definitely follow this trend."

The Black Emperor II was dressed in a simple black overcoat, with two people accompanying him.

He said, "These two are our Minister of Commerce, Kapen, and Minister of Agriculture, Giscard d'Estaing."

"I have met Mr. Zhou."

Both ministers greeted him.

Zhou Yi nodded: "Please have a seat, everyone."

Everyone sat down on the sofa, and Yuanxiao poured tea for each of them.

Black Emperor II skipped the pleasantries and said, "Mr. Zhou, I've come to visit you today to discuss the large-scale expansion of the Strange Radish Farm."

"Tianguo has a vast land area of ​​330 million square kilometers, which includes regions with different latitudes and longitudes. The vast majority of these areas are suitable for cultivation and can be planted on a large scale, ensuring a stable output."

“We have a resident population of over 8000 million, of which farmers account for 78%, providing a plentiful labor force that can immediately launch large-scale cultivation of the ‘strange radish’ industry…”

"We are full of confidence and sincerity in this industry collaboration. Your company needs to increase the number of 'Strange Radishes,' and we should be the largest and best partner in the world."

"Large-scale centralized production can reduce costs. We hope to set up a factory in heaven to process the strange radish into finished products. We will offer lower prices than you can for producing them yourselves."

Zhou Yixin said that originally he wanted to engage in primary processing.

No wonder the Black Emperor II came directly to meet with him; he hoped that Heaven could secure a larger niche in the entire consciousness neuroscience industry.

With a large population, acquiring more industries would create many jobs, generate more tax revenue, and bring more economic vitality to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Processing the strange radish into a consciousness nerve is not complicated. Simply separate the radish fibers from a fully mature strange radish and perform a simple drying process to obtain a rough finished product that can be used.

The outside world simply doesn't know this. Anyone could do these things if Rob taught them for two days.

Zhou Yi replied directly, "Sure."

The other party was taken aback at first, seemingly not expecting it to go so smoothly.

The Black Emperor II was still somewhat uncertain and tentatively asked, "So it's settled then?"

"That's a deal."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Actually, I have an even bigger idea."

"Please say."

"Your Majesty the Black Emperor II, in your opinion, what is the greatest value of the consciousness neuroscience industry?"

The other party stated frankly: "Of course, it is the first tool that can reliably touch the consciousness side. It's like building the first ship on a deserted island, so people are no longer trapped on land and can explore the sea."

"That's right. But what about the vast majority of ordinary people?"

"Of course, it can make money."

The Black Emperor II pondered for a moment: "In this world, over 99.99% are ordinary people without enhanced abilities, and survival remains the main theme. Making money and achieving a better life are what the masses pursue."

"Yes."

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "So, that's why getting rich overnight is so desirable, right?"

"That's true... but getting rich overnight is mostly a scam and a trap. At its core, it's gambling, trying to get that extremely low probability of luck."

Black Emperor II remained extremely calm and rational.

"With a ruler like you, the Kingdom of Heaven is unlikely to make any outrageous policies."

Zhou Yi gave a compliment, then got down to business: "However, you do occasionally encounter such good things. In the end, individual efforts are not as important as the good or bad of the times themselves."

"If you are born during a time of war, you may die of hunger and cold even if you do not make any mistakes. But if you are lucky and your hometown is rich in minerals and is being developed, you can easily survive even if you are lazy."

"There is a very precious mineral in this world that ordinary people have never had the opportunity to come into contact with because the threshold is too high and it is too far away from them."

“Only Skywalkers can access that realm. But even Skywalkers have to work hard and dig and labor in it to find minerals that are useful to them, even though time and tools cost money in the process… Now we have discovered that specialized equipment created through consciousness can actually participate in the digging.”

The Black Emperor II, who had been calm and composed, suddenly changed his expression, his eyes filled with horror.

"You're going to extract fragments of consciousness... and attack the Great Holy Spirit?"

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "It's not about taking action. It's just about mining the consciousness side. Those consciousness fragments are such a pity. There are so many of them, but there are too few core bodies and Skywalkers. It's impossible to do this kind of hard mining work for a long time."

"Then let's leave it to ordinary people. Now that we have the wasteland armor equipped with consciousness nerves, we can use our improved and enhanced [Emerald Eye Pro] to explore the situation of consciousness fragments."

"Our [Evil Brain Motor] can capture fragments, collect those fragments of consciousness, categorize and store them, and then sell them to Skywalkers and even Light Cores who need them." "What does Your Majesty think?"

Regarding the in-depth development of this industry, after hearing that the Second Black Emperor was coming to meet, Zhou Yicai discussed it with Canghaijun, Turing, and others, and decided that they could talk about cooperation in this area.

Connect wasteland armor and evil brain generators through the development of consciousness fragments to create an industrial chain.

This creates a complete industrial chain: [Strange Carrot - Consciousness Nerve - Wasteland Armor - Evil Brain Motor]. It integrates agricultural production, raw material processing, machine assembly, mineral mining, and sales.

The company firmly controls the "evil brain motor," which represents the highest level of technology and core value of the entire system.

Wasteland armor can be deployed on a large scale to become working machines.

Using armor in the Dead Sea requires a certain level of physical fitness from the operator. However, on land, any ordinary person can operate this humanoid vehicle, making it even simpler than driving a car.

According to Canghai Jun, under normal circumstances, fragments of consciousness are usually more active on land. This is because the human consciousness group is constantly generating new fragments and absorbing free-floating fragments, creating its own cyclical system.

Collecting data on land alone is sufficient.

Zhou Yi had Hong Jun do the math.

The price for logging into the Great Holy Spirit to access the consciousness node is 1000 light seeds per hour.

To excavate fragments of consciousness and find the parts one needs, it is difficult to do it by hand; one needs to purchase tools provided by the Great Holy Spirit.

A pickaxe that can be used 33 times costs 3300 Lightseeds, and a shovel with 25 durability costs 2500 Lightseeds; both are extremely expensive, monopolistic consumables.

Even for Skywalkers, this expense is extremely high.

This is a money-making scheme devised by the Nightmare Clan. They use Nightmare Demons to impersonate Spirits and exploit Skywalkers who are forced to enter the consciousness realm to obtain consciousness fragments.

A massive amount of light seeds flowed continuously into the hands of the nightmare demon horde.

Even a small amount leaking out could feed a large number of ordinary people.

What Zhou Yi did this time was to open a new channel on the material side, excavate numerous fragments on the consciousness side from the bottom up, and break the long-standing monopoly of the Dream Demon Clan and the blockade of the Great Holy Spirit.

The Black Emperor, sitting opposite, had an uncertain expression on his face, as if he was weighing the pros and cons repeatedly.

He said, "You're going to take action against the Nightmare Clan?"

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "Your Majesty misunderstands. It's just that once a new technology is developed, we need to find new profit points to get more people involved. The most important fresh blood in this world is provided by ordinary people, so we must involve them to ensure the healthy cycle of the entire technology industry."

"We need to create some new jobs with good pay for them. Our new technologies also need a lot of practice and feedback, and then be gradually optimized."

"In fact, the Skywalkers are also quite annoyed by mining on the consciousness side."

Zhou Yi spread his arms wide: "The company's overseas affairs department has conducted market research on the Skywalkers in the overseas region. More than 120 Skywalkers have completed our questionnaire interviews. They are also very troubled by this, because mining on the consciousness side is hard, tedious, and costly. It often takes a lot of time and effort and they still can't get the part they want."

"It is because of these demands that the Dzi bead business based in Xinqiu came into being. The Free Army sorts and categorizes Dzi beads and sells them to customers who have the needs."

"But it's different now. As long as you have the wasteland armor, you can conduct surveys and read data. We've already tested it. It's just simple repetitive work that even children and the elderly can do. Driving the wasteland armor also eliminates the problems of physical fitness and strength."

"After collecting the fragments of consciousness, we can encapsulate them using the existing celestial bead technology in Mirror City, and then sell them on a large scale. We can sell them for a lower price than in the outer sea, and we don't need to open blind boxes; we can buy whatever category we need."

"The Kingdom of Heaven is vast. If we conduct this kind of exploration and mining on land, I believe there will be great potential and considerable profits."

Zhou Yi paused, then looked at the Emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom before him: "What does Your Majesty think?"

Black Emperor II fell silent.

Zhou Yi waited quietly.

This industry will inevitably harm the interests of the Dream Demon race and break their monopoly on the Great Holy Spirit. Black Emperor II, an agent installed by the Dream Demon race, must consider the risks involved.

The Black Emperor asked, "How are the profits?"

Zhou Yi told the other party, "According to our closed tests, a wasteland armor can dig out at least 3 fragments of the consciousness of the Heavenly Bead every day within the radiation range of the Evil Brain Motor."

"Outer seas, the price of a celestial pearl is 2.2 light seeds per pearl. To put that in perspective, each armored vehicle can acquire 120 light seeds per month. Even after deducting costs, that's still a profit of 100 light seeds."

The Black Emperor II's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately declared without hesitation: "Alright! Heavenly Kingdom, do it!"

"His Majesty might be in some trouble with the Dream Demon Clan."

Zhou Yi made a joke.

"I am the Emperor of Heaven, representing the most fundamental interests of Heaven."

The other party said calmly, "Apart from celestial beings, everything else must give way to this."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is indeed worthy of being the successor of the Black Emperor. You have great courage and magnanimity. Let's eat first and talk while we eat."
