Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 78 Visitors from Energy Storage City

The next morning, the bone man Sun Chonglai came to make a report.

"Chairman, the mushroom forest was in good condition last month, and two black hand mushrooms were born. The production of edible mushrooms has increased steadily."

"Although we still don't know what's in the feces of the clawed pig group that can cause the mycelium of the cave mushroom to mutate, we have confirmed that the cave mushroom likes a low temperature environment."

The skeleton wearing an earmuff hat said happily: "This winter, they have grown very fast. The number has exceeded 7000. They are fully mature mushrooms in winter."

It took the sample out of the box it was carrying.

The originally clustered, thin mushrooms have now become much denser and wider, and the round mushroom caps have turned pink, which looks very beautiful.

Zhou Yi was delighted.

The mushroom forest is making good progress.

“Now there’s a new problem.”

Sun Zhonglai said: "The black hand mushroom boys discovered that the strange mushroom is extremely dependent on the feces of the claw pig. It needs this specific fertilizer to grow, otherwise it will gradually turn into a cave mushroom."

"We suspect that the mushroom is a parasitic hybrid between a cave mushroom and another mycelium produced through the feces of a clawed pig."

Like a mule born from a horse and a donkey.

Zhou Yi understood: "You need more clawed pig feces?"

"This is not a big problem. Because the areas where the northern clawed pigs live have a lot of natural feces. Now Nemo's gerbils are helping us collect them everywhere. No piece of feces can escape their pursuit."

The skeleton used his hand bone to adjust his hat. "The real problem is that once the strange mushrooms are fully mature, they will wither within a few days. We collected the mushrooms and put them in the Emerald City to dry them. We found that after losing moisture, their effect became very poor, perhaps not even 1/10 of their effect."

"We haven't found a way to lock in the effect of the mushrooms yet, so we can only let them grow in the soil. Gong Zheng said that this involves the field of herbal medicine, and none of the methods he knows will work."

The skeleton opened and closed its upper and lower jaws. "Chairman, can we ask Dr. Da Vinci to take a look? Because this thing is too time-sensitive."

Zhou Yi has a headache.

Da Vinci is still on Snake Island healing and leveling up.

However, the value of the Monster Mushroom was huge, so he said, "I'll let it come back from Snake Island and visit you."

"Okay, okay, great."

The bone man looked relieved and said with emotion: "It would be a pity if such a precious species wasted its maturation period this winter."

Sun Zhonglai's arrival also brought a new batch of explosive mushrooms, and Emerald City transformed them all into more than 5000 light seeds.

The sedimentary zone beneath the mushroom forest still produces stable output.

……

Zhou Yi left the Emerald City and came to the beach on the Dead Sea.

A small fortified ship was stranded on the ground.

At this time, the one-eyed Yuan Tong was teaching sea operations.

"Remember, once a person falls into the Dead Sea, there is no hope for rescue."

"But as long as the operation is done correctly, nothing will go wrong. This is also my experience from more than ten years at sea."

He held up a piece of straw rope in his hand: "First, you need to find two strong ropes. If you don't have a strong enough waist buckle, tie it around your waist, like this."

Yuan Tong quickly wrapped the rope around his waist and tied the other end to the bottom of the mast on the deck.

He continued, "If one of the two ropes breaks, the other can still save your life. Remember, don't be lazy and tie only one. This will ensure that you can be pulled up if you accidentally slip off the deck or the side of the ship."

"Then let's talk about how to use the net sand bag. This is very simple..."

Zhou Yi watched from a distance for a while.

As a technical person, Yuan Tong strictly controls the details of the operating procedures.

For example, each rope must be marked with size and distance. After being tied around the waist, the distance left behind can only be between three and four arms' length, neither longer nor shorter.

When using a net bag, you must fish in the same direction and have precise timing requirements.

He also marked the stations on the deck with charcoal so that the novices could stand directly in the corresponding positions without disturbing each other and making the most of the space on the ship.

Yuan Tong even did some common knowledge popularization about the Dead Sea, and he really wanted to teach the townspeople.

There were many people coming to learn the technology. They stood in a circle around the boat and asked some common questions for novices.

The topic they are most interested in is still treatment.

“Is it really possible to produce 6000 mushrooms in a month?”

"If he says 6, it means 6. Whatever the chairman says, it's whatever it is. We at the Wasteland Development Company don't lack that."

"Can I do mushrooms that I can get for a day?"

"We only hire long-term, working in two shifts, day and night. The entire salvage operation also requires training and a certain amount of experience to do well." "I'll do it!"

"We agreed on 6000! I can start working today!"

……

These unemployed teenagers flocked to sign up.

Soon, Yuan Tong began to practice with the guidance of new employees, and sailed to the Dead Sea to collect soot sand.

Sufficiently competitive salary is the best catalyst, which can immediately motivate everyone.

The previous habit of staying out at night and staying at home during the day has also been changed in the face of new demands.

During the winter daytime, more and more new humans dare to go out of the house.

Zhou Yi looked up at the sky.

The sky was bright at this time and there was no snow, but the wind was still cold.

A whole day has passed since the Red Falcon left, and there has been no news.

——My signal will be disconnected for a while, but it’s okay. Wait for my news.

If Zhou Yi hadn't received the message from the drone yesterday, he would have suspected that it was in danger.

Towards evening, news finally came from the Red Falcon.

Text pops up on the remote.

——The energy storage city recently activated the shielding system, which caused the electromechanical life without the local optical stack service port to be shielded from signals nearby, making it difficult to send and receive signals.

——Only after passing identity verification can the registration process be completed. I came here as a company this time, so the first procedure is more complicated. I need to send a letter to the recursive city for confirmation and obtain local credit synchronization.

——I consulted the Mineral Resources Department of Energy Storage City, and they are willing to purchase our soot sand. As long as the single batch reaches 1 ton, they will send a transportation specialist to purchase and transport the raw materials. "

——The purchasing price is divided into two levels, one is fine sand, the second is coarse sand. In our case, it is coarse sand, and the price is 5 copper/5g.

Zhou Yi remembered.

Yuan Tong said before that the price of the soot sand they sold to the city was 4 coppers. It seems that the purchase price of the mechanical and electrical city is still higher.

——The price of energy packs is the same, 1 light seeds for 10. According to the continuous operation of the two ships, we need to purchase the amount for 4 months of winter, which is 120 energy packs, a total of 12 light seeds. I asked a friend to help deliver them back.

——It used to be in the rescue team, then switched to the energy storage market, and now does survey work.

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

It turns out that the Red Falcon has connections there.

At dawn, the drones returned.

A black aircraft also arrived along with the Red Falcon.

The overall shape of the aircraft was like an elongated version of the letter V, which reminded Zhou Yi of the famous B-2 stealth bomber. It was two sizes larger than the Red Falcon, and the cockpit was large enough to accommodate a person.

The Red Falcon introduced: "This is Lin Chi, a member of the Energy Storage City Detective Team."

A loud and clear voice came from the large Lin Chihao: "Hello, Chairman Zhou, nice to meet you. I am Lin Chihao. Since you are Captain Hong Jian's collaborator, you are also a friend. Welcome to Energy Storage City."

Hong Jian corrected: "I have been deregistered from the rescue team and should no longer be called that."

Lin Chihao said: "It's just a private name, it doesn't violate relevant regulations."

Only then did Zhou Yi know.

It turns out that Hong Xuan was the captain of the rescue team in the past, and it seems that he is also the boss of Lin Chihao?
The problem is that the Red Falcon is very small, giving people the impression that it is just an ordinary member of the public or a small soldier.

In terms of appearance, the Linqi is more like that boss.

Logically speaking, it should be easier for those with stronger bodies to successfully rescue.

Could it be that... the Red Falcon was very powerful in the past?

Zhou Yi asked.

"No, Captain Red Falcon has always been this machine."

Lin Chihao explained: "The position of the rescue team is determined only by the mission achievements."

"No matter how strong the physical test data is, what's the point if you don't dare to risk the high failure rate and the risk of damage to rescue the victims?"

Zhou Yi thought so too.

"We can continue the small talk later, let's get down to business first."

Lin Chihao said: "Chairman Zhou, I need to survey the environment and output here first."
