Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 677 Dead Sea Park

Chapter 677 Dead Sea Park
On the airship.

Taotie Gong sat by the window, his gaze fixed on the ground a thousand meters below.

Unlike their own territory, which was traditionally surrounded by the Dead Sea, the Development Alliance has completely cleared the Dead Sea, dispelling the buoyancy and light mist, and gaining dozens of times more usable land than before.

The five regions that were once isolated islands are now completely connected, forming a complete continent that existed only in the old human era.

It can be clearly seen from the air.

Many tracks have been laid on the ground, and shuttle buses shuttle back and forth on the tracks. The transportation network has taken initial shape and directly connects these dozens of towns.

The significant increase in land area has brought more operational space, with large tracts of farmland being reclaimed by agricultural machinery, and clusters of centralized factories springing up like mushrooms after rain.

Giant hyperbolic condenser towers are scattered throughout the plant, spewing out large amounts of white gas. They are standard equipment in power plants.

With the number of power plants continuing to grow, power infrastructure is expanding at a frenzied pace. Man-made streetlights have been erected around vehicle tracks and on roads, and lights are shining everywhere.

Along the way, there are also some large black projection walls that display dynamic maps, markers, distances to various cities, and emergency rescue procedures in case of an accident.

Taotie Gong watched with a calm expression.

If an opponent is slightly stronger than you, they are a potential competitor. However, if the gap between you is too large, you are not in the same ecological niche, and there is no conflict of interest; in that case, you should learn from them.

Newbell, the mountain dog standing nearby, said with a solemn expression, "The Wasteland Development Company is going to completely clear the Dead Sea and rebuild the world order from the root."

It lamented, "From now on, I'm afraid no force can oppose the company. Even under pure forceful suppression, there will still be weak people who resist, but with such enormous profits as incentives, no one can resist them. This has already become a de facto rule. They have monopolized control over the land."

Taotie Gong chuckled: "Since someone will always monopolize power, it's always a good thing to find someone who doesn't act recklessly, can control their desires, and is willing to share the spoils with everyone."

"That's true."

Newbell nodded: "If it were still the era when the Black Emperor and the War God were active, they would definitely use this power to call on and encourage all kinds of life to join the war against the Celestials. Compared to them, the company is much smarter and more rational."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have reached an agreement and come here to negotiate."

The gluttonous man forked a piece of sausage from the plate and slowly chewed it.

"I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it."

The mountain dog god opposite said with a hint of melancholy, "We, the agents of the heavens, eventually have to bow down to the emerging powers. We even have to beg them to recruit us. Who could have imagined things would turn out this way?"

"Times have changed, my friend."

Taotie Gong didn't care. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "In the beginning, the rulers were the old humans. They were destroyed and then became conceptual beings who ascended to godhood. Later, celestial beings appeared and became the rulers. That's how the world is. There is no eternal master. It's always one person after another taking the stage."

"We agents, to put it more politely, are the representatives of the celestial beings; to put it bluntly, we are their servants."

"The power of the Celestials is undeniable, but they don't care about us. We have to rely on ourselves for life and death, so we have to find our own way, right?"

"Anyway, it didn't say that agents can't do business or associate with other organizations. Black Emperor II was the one who saw things clearly. He revealed his identity early on and was the first to openly cooperate with the company. Now the Mars base has obtained one of the three major districts. At this time, the Heavenly Kingdom is also the first to follow up on the Dead Sea demolition and reconstruction, and has already completed the Dead Sea demolition in four states."

"Most importantly, the Dead Sea Park, after its demolition and reconstruction, is no longer just a simple place to live."

Speaking of which.

Taotie looked down at the ground through the large windows of the airship.

There are Dead Sea parks surrounded by high walls made of light, shrouded in a black fog to prevent spying, resembling artificial black holes wrapped in infrastructure.

It said softly, "The Dead Sea Park retains the original features of the Dead Sea and has been upgraded on this basis. The highest density of death rays has been increased to 80 times that of the past, providing targeted energy infusion and even customized strategy guidance for life evolution."

"Any of the Guangna species that wants to advance further will want to live in such a place in order to improve their growth and evolution efficiency."

"This has become an unstoppable trend."

“If we don’t keep up, we won’t even get any soup, brother.”

Newbell looked out the window and remained silent for a long time: "I originally thought that by uniting as the Nazanians, we should have no enemies on this land, except for the Nightmare Clan. Who knew it would turn out like this... I'm just a little unwilling."

"It feels like I've suddenly grown old and been kicked out of the game."

Taotie Gong took a sip of sweet wine: "Then you're wrong, brother."

"Those older than us, not to mention the conceptual lifeforms, include the Old King and the Lord of War. The Old King has already lived a second life and reached an unprecedented peak, becoming a standard-bearer for extraterrestrial exploration. Although the Lord of War rarely leaves the Forbidden Continent, I've heard a bit about him; he's been trying to develop light-core level weapons..."

"The Lord of War and Zhou Yi have a close relationship. It is said that he has secretly developed a new type of weapon maiden in Golden Elephant Valley. It is hard to say when she will re-enter the world."

"Life is full of ups and downs, which is normal. We are far from that point now."

It pointed to the panda man next to it who was resting with his eyes closed.

“Look at Yuri, that’s what it means to see through the truth of the world and still remain focused and peaceful.”

"Compared to that, the two of us are sometimes too attached to fame, fortune, and resources, which makes us lose our way."

Newbell looked at the panda man wearing a hospital gown beside him.

Seeing its companion, its expression relaxed considerably: "I can't compare to it. This one is focused on immortality; if we consider it from the old human era, it would be considered an immortal cultivator..."

"Yuri, should we introduce and recommend the Longevity Cultivation to that person this time? Maybe he thinks it has great potential."

"..."

The panda man closed his eyes and remained silent.

At this moment, Taotie Gong regained his serious expression: "The jokes are over. Friends, we are here today for the Dead Sea Park, so please take this very seriously."

“I’ve dealt with Zhou Yi before, and he’s a very difficult person to figure out. However, he has a clear rule in foreign affairs: the principle of reciprocity. If the other party provides enough support and strength, he will respond with resources and opportunities that are at least equal to those of his collaborator. He is very particular about cooperation and has a clear air of a strongman.”

"However, the premise is that it's something he's interested in." "Of course, I believe that what we're offering is also rare for the company, after all, we control some special monopolistic resources."

It solemnly stated, "Regardless of the outcome, we are in need of their help, so we must maintain a humble attitude."

"Of course."

Newbell nodded: "If I hadn't understood this, I wouldn't have come."

Panda Man: "..."

Guided by ground personnel, the airship slowly docked at the top floor of Emerald City in Shagang, a privilege reserved for the company's most elite VIPs.

Taotie breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yi was very accommodating.

This is a good sign.

……

No. 3101, Chairman's Residence.

When Taotie met Zhou Yi again, he discovered that Zhou Yi had officially transformed into a light core body, but he did not show off his sharpness. Instead, he was more calm and reserved than before.

"Welcome, welcome, three representatives."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Yuanxiao, serve tea."

The girl beside him, the angel of death, began asking each person what they wanted to drink.

Taotie said, "We had an extra meal on the airship. How about some black tea to cut through the grease?"

Newbell: "If you have beer, please have one."

Yuri: "Tea is fine."

The three surrogate representatives took their seats on the sofa.

Taotie got straight to the point and explained the purpose of his visit.

Zhou Yi wasn't surprised at all: "Your area also wants to build a Dead Sea park? Are you sure? This project looks good, but there are actually quite a few problems."

"Management of park access, household registration, residency regulations, and temporary access passes, as well as shielding against strong radiation from the surrounding area, are all small but troublesome issues. In addition, due to the high density of death rays within the park, there will be some strong consciousness interference, originating from the consciousness of the sun or even the universe, so it poses a certain risk..."

He appeared quite frank, first stating the problems and shortcomings.

It is both pragmatic and confident.

These shortcomings do not diminish the park's appeal, as it is a unique facility that helps light-sensitive plants grow rapidly.

Taotie Gong laughed and said, "Any new thing will have many associated problems, and we will try to find solutions. But timing is more important, and we all hope to build the park as soon as possible."

"Of course, we have also raised some resources in the hope of getting this opportunity."

"First of all, I personally am willing to jointly own my special effects food processing factory and company. It is a device made with Celestial Gems that gives food a special 'enchantment'. It is also my main source of income."

Newbell said, "I would like to connect and share Greenwich's 'mean solar time' with this location."

Taotie was startled upon hearing this.

Newbell has really suffered a huge loss!
With mean solar time, there are only two connecting positions, north and south, leaving only one possible connection point. In the past, I couldn't get it to be used in a trade, but this time Newbell offered it up willingly.

Yuri said, "I will teach you how to live forever."

As expected, this person is still pursuing his longevity research.

Zhou Yi, sitting opposite him, didn't look too happy and seemed dissatisfied.

This made Taotie Gong a little uneasy.

After a long time.

The other person suddenly snapped out of their daze: "Huh? Sorry, what were you talking about?"

"..."

The three surrogate agents were all speechless.

However, now that he needed a favor, Taotie could only put on a smile and repeat himself.

"Oh, we can talk about that."

"I'm sorry, there was a slight malfunction with one of our artificial suns just now."

It turned out to be the case.
