Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 641 It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that we want to broaden our horizons.
While Quickfoot was still thinking, Big Mouth began to speak: "So you're that giant bone fish. I heard you were the first bone fish to ascend from Earth to space. But weren't you captured by the Celestials' gem transmuters?"

"So you're now under the command of the Celestials?"

"Subordinates? They don't even deserve the title."

The voice of the giant bony fish beneath the ice was somewhat cold: "Where did you hear such rumors?"

Big Mouth said, "That's what the Heavenly Beings said."

"It's normal for the agent to vilify me to this extent, since the agent is the dog of the celestial beings."

The giant bone fish softened its tone slightly: "After all, if you knew that bone fish could contend with or even kill celestial beings, it would probably cause earth-shattering changes to the entire Earth."

"How could a bone fish kill a celestial being?"

Big Mouth rattled off, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that we want to broaden our horizons. How are we going to kill them? By crashing into the Celestials? Or by piercing them with bones? Are the Celestials really that afraid of bones? Or do the Celestials have bones inside them, and you went in and took their bones with you?"

"..."

The giant bony fish was rendered silent.

"Say something! Why won't you speak?"

Big Mouth is still like a machine gun, always talking faster than thinking.

Quickfoot finally couldn't hold back and bumped into it: "Shut up!"

If I stay silent any longer, Big Mouth will kill the conversation and make Giant Bone Fish want to kill me.

"I'm very sorry, Big Mouth didn't mean to offend you. It's just that it's born to speak first and then think about whether what it said is right or wrong... Please forgive it, it didn't mean any harm."

Quickfoot tried to salvage the situation: "You brought us directly from satellite orbit to Europa; your power is undeniable. At least at the level of a light nucleus, there's just a lot we don't understand."

"Oh? You know this is Europa?"

The giant bony fish seemed interested.

“We are employees of a wasteland development company, and we work on satellite maintenance in satellite orbit. The company has given us special training on the basic conditions of the nearby solar system, so we know some basic facts.”

That's what Quickfoot said.

"The Wasteland Development Corporation... is it an organization created by the Bone Fish?"

"No, it was our chairman, Mr. Zhou Yi, who established it in Shagang eight years ago. He is a strong, upright, and good man..."

After listening to Quickfoot's explanation, the Giant Bone Fish said disdainfully, "That human named Zhou Yi is just using you to work for him. He gives you seemingly good treatment and holidays, but his purpose is only to deceive and buy you off. Don't be fooled by his pretense."

"What wasteland development company? It's just a means to package his plan to seize the whole world."

"Human beings lack sufficient power of their own, so they can only curry favor with other light-nano species and borrow their greater power to do what they want. They are insignificant in themselves and have become a lowly life form on Earth after the Circular Flow eruption."

"If Zhou Yi truly possesses immense power, he wouldn't need your involvement or assistance to obtain everything he desires. Bringing you in is merely a way to use you as cannon fodder in crucial moments."

Kuaijiao originally thought that since the other party was strong and powerful, it was best not to offend or argue with them.

But these words, which were both a mockery of the company and directed at the chairman of the Sharp Commentary, made it a little angry.

But circumstances forced him to swallow his anger.

However, the big-mouthed creature next to him started spewing, "But even though you're so strong, you haven't helped us bone fish at all."

"Outsiders also say this about us bone fish: stupid, unable to cooperate as a group, calling us inferior beings, a disgrace to the Guangna species... But only the chairman doesn't look down on us, he is still training us, and considers us to be employees of the same standard as those of Electromechanical Life."

"The chairman truly helped us, step by step, helping us develop a clear sense of self from a state of being ignorant beasts. He created the Light-Soaked Muscle Suit for us, which can protect the memories and experiences recorded on our bones. Then he gave us a large number of Light Seeds, taught us how to work, and a lot of knowledge."

"More and more bone fish are joining our company, being trained at the ground port, working in various places, delivering packages, moving things in various departments, participating in front-line experiments, and even going to the moon."

"The chairman started his company by relying on Samurai Crabs. Do you know Samurai Crabs?"

"Similar to our bone fish, they are also a very low-level E-grade light-nano species. Now, the Samurai Crabs have gradually completed their evolution and have become the company's logo. Our company's artificial sun also bears the Samurai Crab's mark..."

"Now our Bonefish can fly into space, travel to other planets, and appear in various cities. This recognition is certainly due to everyone's hard work, but it also owes much to the strong promotion of the chairman, which has changed our image in the world."

"You are the strongest bone fish in history, but you have done nothing. You just come here to laugh at us, to mock our company that does things seriously, and to mock our chairman who takes things one step at a time."

"Those who are truly capable are always greater and more respectable than those who merely stand by and criticize!"

Its rapid-fire rebuttal made Kuai Zui feel a sense of relief.

However, Quickfoot quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Please don't be angry, that's just how Big Mouth is, its mouth... hurry up and shut up and apologize to Mr. Earth Ghost!"

Big Mouth then belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly opened his mouth wide, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally blurted out the truth..."

"..."

The giant fish silenced it once again.

After a while.

The ice trembled again.

"I did do something."

The giant bone fish spoke up: "The bone fish community is facing difficulties from both inside and outside, but survival itself is not the obstacle. As long as other life exists and skeletons continue to be born, bone fish will continue to emerge from the Dead Sea. The most crucial factor is external pressure. The pressure is transmitted from top to bottom."

"The reason why bone fish cannot grow and form groups is that the Dead Sea has been specially modified." "The Celestials—strictly speaking, they should be called modifiers—have carried out targeted modifications to the Dead Sea on Earth. They have used special technology to adjust it through the source of the sun, resulting in the Dead Sea on the Earth's surface having two characteristics."

"One is that in the Dead Sea region where the number of life groups is too concentrated, light bursts and turbulent currents will frequently occur, thereby dispersing them and reducing the population density. This is the artificial intervention of the modifiers. The purpose is to suppress the large-scale interaction of life groups in the Dead Sea and prevent evolution from getting too fast and out of control."

"Secondly, there is artificial high pressure. Those high-pressure areas are actually large areas of consciousness projected by the sun, like the shadows cast on the ground by the sun shining on the treetops. Those spots of light contain a large amount of consciousness, which are the fragmented areas that the celestial beings need to process. Directional high pressure will continuously fragment this part, thereby dissipating it."

"Both of these modifications directly harmed the bony fish. The former dispersed the group, preventing the bony fish from gathering in large numbers and from sharing experiences and passing on knowledge."

"The latter artificial high pressure causes the bone fish to instinctively approach because the fragments of consciousness there are rare elements that the bone fish itself lacks. But once they get close, the high pressure will cause the bone fish's body to be constantly peeled away and shattered, just like a natural bait trap. Get close, and then die quickly."

"The source of everything is the heavens and humanity."

The giant bone fish said, "If we can't deal with the Celestials, the bone fish can't truly break free of its restrictions and chains. So we must deal with them."

Kuaijiao was horrified when he heard this.

It had never heard of such a thing before: the three calamities of the Dead Sea were actually controlled by celestial beings.

Big Mouth said, "We can solve that too! The company has already built an artificial sun that can modify and disperse high pressure, turbulence, and light bursts!"

"The chairman must have known all this, which is why he launched this technology."

The giant fish exclaimed, "Absolutely impossible!"

"The source is the sun. The modifiers made targeted modifications to the outer periphery of the sun, which caused these changes to the Earth. This fundamental source cannot be altered simply by working on the Earth's surface."

"But that's the truth. Everyone in the company knows it. We've all seen the video."

"Big Mouth is talking."

"show me!"

The giant fish spoke.

Kuaijiao felt as if something had been added to his brain, as if his brain was constantly flowing out.

moment.

"...It's actually true."

"How did they do that? How is this possible? What is it...?"

For the first time, the giant bony fish's voice showed wavering and shock.

Quick Foot tried to communicate with the other party: "The company has been doing various technology developments, and we are not sure about the core technology in this area. However, there are electromechanical life forms involved, and it is said that the Celestials are very wary of electromechanical life forms, so this result is not surprising."

"Normal? How could this be normal!"

The giant fish interrupted, "You have no idea what this means. If this artificial sun can directly transform the Dead Sea on Earth, then it's not an artificial sun, but a real sun!"

"..."

Quickfoot wasn't a technician, and it didn't understand why the other party was so agitated.

It was, after all, the owner of Europa, and it found it a bit strange that the so-called ruler of the world was so easily startled.

It seems the giant bony fish isn't as exaggerated as rumored... it doesn't understand the company's technology at all.

Artificial sun is the company's latest classified technology, and neither Quickfoot nor Bigmouth could explain it, so there was no way to continue the discussion.

The giant fish made them do one thing first.

"Let's go under the ice first, follow me."

Enter the ice from a hole.

They quickly discovered that beneath the thick ice lay a vast expanse of liquid water, a truly enormous ocean.

Unlike the cold on the ice surface, the water temperature increases as you go deeper.

Many hydrothermal vents are gushing from the seabed.

There is something very special in those hot springs: small, dark red, leaf-shaped, semi-permeable membrane organisms that drift slowly in the ocean.

The giant fish said, "I'll inhale these subterranean worms."

"This is your first lesson: learn to coexist with them and borrow their power."

Big Mouth asked, "What powers do they have?"

The giant bony fish said calmly, "Only by incorporating them into your body can you travel through the universe. Even in places without death rays and the sun, you will not lack energy and die. They can efficiently obtain energy from cosmic rays, which are everywhere."

"Simply put, they are the heart of your universe."

"First, install the heart, and test it to withstand the extreme underwater temperature limit, then come find me."

Say it.

The giant fish's enormous body disappeared into the darkness.
