Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 651 Jincheng joins
Zhou Yi would go to explore the new world whenever he had free time.

The recreation of old Chongqing is almost perfect, and the city is very stable under the operation of the electromechanical lifeforms. Little Chongqing is also keeping a close eye on the latest developments and has learned from Nogami's seriousness and responsibility in his work.

The second city, Tianjin, has also been completed and is gradually opening to the public.

Zhou Yi chose this city because he felt that he should first find some iconic cities to replicate, and then expand to the surrounding areas, gradually building up neighboring cities, counties and rural areas.

It's like Minesweeper; you first identify a few key points and then click outwards. Ultimately, it reconstructs the entire picture of Chinese civilization before the wasteland era.

There is already a center in the southwest, so the next one will naturally be the north or the east.

Yagami chose Tianjin from among many cities because she found the city's dialect interesting, full of humor and joy.

Furthermore, the ancient city of Tianjin is relatively well-preserved, and the Dead Sea seabed in the Tianjin area is easy to scan directly.

The replica of Chongqing was made possible because the original site of the city was not far from Shagang, making it convenient to conduct city-wide sampling through electromechanical life sciences, and then verifying it with existing city data.

After all, some records on the internet by older generations may not be reliable or true, but the traces left by the city itself are less likely to lie.

to this end.

Zhou Yi also personally made a trip to Tianjin.

After landing, the first new human organization he came into contact with was the Tianjin Knights, where he met Cui Mao, a knight stationed in Shagang City.

When Zhou Yi went to Tianjin this time, he specially asked Cui Mao to go with him to be his tour guide and host.

Cui Mao is still in Shagang. He was married before and now has a child.

In his career, he was promoted to deputy squadron leader of the third squadron, which can be considered a double success in both life and career.

"I am not particularly talented, neither in combat nor intellect. It is thanks to my acquaintance with you, Mr. Zhou, that I have received a series of promotions and opportunities. It is all due to luck, which is quite shameful to admit."

Cui Mao's voice held a hint of regret: "Actually, there are quite a few talented colleagues who haven't had the opportunity."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I remember an elder once said that a person's life depends on their own efforts, but also on the course of history. Both are indispensable."

“If you, Old Cui, hadn’t been dedicated to your duty and come to Xiaogu Town to check and confirm the actual situation, we wouldn’t have met. If you were someone who just muddles through, you wouldn’t have warned me to be careful of the Dead Sea Knights’ retaliation, we wouldn’t have become friends, and none of what followed would have happened.”

"In my opinion, doing one's job and responsibilities well is the greatest contribution to society."

Cui Mao couldn't help but laugh: "I used to want to spar with you, I was young and arrogant... Now I'm not a front-line combatant anymore, look at me."

He patted his beer belly.

The once dashing knight has become a chubby leader, his whole body has gained a lot of weight.

Zhou Yi looked at him with a strange expression: "What happened to you? Did you really let yourself go after getting married?"

"Right now, I'm in the third squadron doing investment promotion work, which means I have to participate in all sorts of social engagements and drinking parties. I'm either flying around on business trips or attending meetings and negotiating with various businessmen and representatives of organizations..."

When Cui Mao spoke of this, his voice gradually became bitter: "I got a promotion, and I also gained weight."

The two chatted all the way.

Heifu arrived in Tianjin very quickly.

The city run by the Tianjin knights is laid out in a grid pattern, with streets and houses planned in a neat and compact manner, and a large, iconic ocean-going vessel is moored in the port.

The Tianjin Knight started his career on the ocean-going vessel "Zhonggu Tianjin". He is an A-class electromechanical life-man who travels between major port cities.

Because it is an electromechanical lifeline, its fuel consumption is very low, aside from basic maintenance, allowing it to break even on large cargo trips. It has long been used to transport bulk commodities and important goods requiring high confidentiality and security across various regions.

Relying on the reputation and appeal of Zhonggu Tianjin, the Tianjin Knights brought in several more ocean-going ship mechanics and engineers, forming a large ocean-going fleet of 11 ships.

Even though the company's airships are now ubiquitous and many goods are being transported by air, the ocean shipping market remains.

For heavy goods exceeding 100 tons, the tiered pricing for airships is quite expensive. Because air transport of heavy goods is inherently risky, ocean-going vessels remain the first choice for transporting large quantities of coal, steel, and similar commodities.

Upon arriving at the VIP lounge in Tianjin, Zhou Yi met with Feng Xi, the commander of the Knights.

This man had short, gray hair and looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was wearing a retro-style long gown. His eyes were bright, and his voice was very penetrating. He was full of energy and spirit.

"A scan of the old city of Tianjin? We have a complete set of data records for that."

Feng Xi said, "The urban area of ​​Tianjin is a replica of a part of the old Tianjin city. The urban construction level of the old people was very high, and it is only right to learn from the successful experience of our ancestors."

Upon hearing about the New World Project, the Knight Commander was taken aback: "Projecting it into a city built from consciousness... I thought the wasteland armor collection and manufacturing of Heavenly Beads was just the beginning, but I didn't expect your company to have gone so far." "Mr. Zhou, are you planning to create another Great Holy Spirit?"

Zhou Yi said, "The company simply wants to increase communication between the old and new humans and create a freer environment. The creation of the new world is not restricted here because the material carrier is on the moon. This project can also allow the human community to learn to explore the consciousness side."

"In fact, we have already begun to involve both the old and new humans in manipulating the fragments of consciousness."

This was also Yagami's suggestion.

She believes that the best way to create a new world is to involve those who enter it. This will make them feel a greater sense of belonging and cherish it more.

While gradually replicating and restoring the old human world's countries and regions, residents should also be allowed to freely create their own paradise, taking into account both public services and personal preferences.

Zhou Yi also strongly agreed with this.

He made this trip to promote New World abroad.

As a long-term partner of the company, Tianjin has a stable social order, a low crime rate, the convenience of being a prototype of Tianjin city, and is also an independent region, making it a very suitable first place.

Feng Xi's eyes lit up: "Teach ordinary people the ability and technology to manipulate fragments of consciousness... Once they are proficient, wouldn't everyone be a conceptual life form?"

"Why not?"

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Commander Feng, humans are at a physical disadvantage. Humans need to use various tools, such as strengthening, modifying, or evolving, to barely catch up with the Light-Na race."

"But on the consciousness side, the competition is about the effective use and collection of fragmented consciousness. In other words, it's a place where you can leverage enormous power with your mind and skills."

"Over there, physical differences have very little impact. The key is who can learn and adapt faster."

"Our evil brain motor can now project itself into the brain."

Zhou Yi slowly said, "Whoever can discover the pattern the fastest and use the pattern on the consciousness side can grow explosively in a short period of time."

“Wei, one of our company’s vice ministers who has entered the new world, is an E-level enhancer trained by the company’s Strong Foundation Program. Now his consciousness strength has reached B level, and he has built and designed his own mark.”

"This mark, like a business card, is spreading in the new world, causing his consciousness to continue to expand."

Feng Xi's expression turned grave: "This growth rate is far too fast... What will be the price?"

"Power comes too quickly, and there are certain risks involved. It can easily lead to complacency and indulgence."

Zhou Yi didn't hide anything: "So we also have a special concept life guidance, mainly led by Xiao Chongqing, Cat God and Mr. Crab."

"This power is not permanent. If it is not properly managed, its mark maintained, and its absorption continuously carried out, the realm of consciousness will also decline, and it will weaken from strong to weak. It is a dynamic process. This is also what allows the new world to maintain its metabolism and be in constant change."

“Currently, there are already conceptual life forms and old humans joining them, and the Development Alliance is also gradually issuing public beta test slots.”

"Tianjin was the first region we invited."

Zhou Yi stated frankly: "Because after Tianjin is restored, I believe the residents here will also want to see what Tianjin looked like in its heyday."

"Jincheng and the company have a good and close relationship. From being willing to acquire our Guangtai when we were under economic sanctions in the past, to now helping us replicate Tianjin's data, this can be considered our way of returning the favor."

Feng Xi pondered for a moment, then grinned: "Since Mr. Zhou has invited us, and Jincheng is willing to join, let's venture into the new world and see if humanity has a better way out in the broader ocean of consciousness!"

Zhou Yi said confidently, "Yes, definitely."

Feng Xi suddenly said, "Mr. Zhou, for convenience, I wonder if we could join the development alliance? We greatly admire your company's style and principles, and we hope to deepen our cooperation. This would make many of our activities much easier... and it would also make our ideological work and promotion easier."

Zhou Yi was taken aback.

The development alliance hasn't had any new members for several years.

This is mainly because he is very strict, adhering to the principle of "better to have none than to have bad ones," and he is also deliberately reducing geographical expansion.

The reputation of Tianjin Knights has always been good, and they have stood the test of time for many years. They also have a long-standing relationship with the company.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "Since Commander Feng has confidence in and is interested in us, then welcome to join us."

The other party was overjoyed.

"thanks, thanks!"
