Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 97 Dead Sea Transport Specialist
Zhou Yi posted a recruitment information to Energy Storage City through Red Falcon.

……

Position: Transport Specialist

Salary: 1 yuan/year

Requirements: Good health, relevant work experience, responsible for the company's cargo pickup and delivery, able to transport passengers in the Dead Sea.

……

While waiting for the applicant, Zhou Yi commissioned another task to Recursion City, requiring an investigation of the Dead Sea area within a 2000-kilometer radius south of the Wasteland Development Company to search for a Dead Sea alien floating on the sea.

This is also what the Red Falcon proposed.

It flew south several times but was not found.

If the floating alien king that Jacob mentioned really appears, then the rescue team doing the special search should be very clear about it and may have the latest intelligence. It would be much more efficient to hand it over to Recursion City to do this.

However, the cost is not low. Based on the distance and winter environment, the quotation for this search is 200 light species.

Zhou Yi paid very readily, simply deducting the money from the company's electronic account.

Soon, the communication market in Energy Storage City received a lot of job information from electromechanical professionals.

Zhou Yi flipped through the resumes one by one.

"Large transport vehicles: with more than 90 years of transport and distribution experience, familiar with the traffic rules and road conditions near the energy storage city, and able to adapt to long-term driving."

"Large passenger vehicle: with more than 40 years of passenger transport experience, no bad driving record, no major accidents or traffic violations, and strong safety awareness."

"Large transport ship: with 24 years of experience in transporting soot, amber, precious metals and other goods, it can independently complete unloading and port route planning."

……

Although there were quite a few applicants, they were all transport trucks and ships.

Zhou Yi was a little disappointed.

His plan was to build a flying vehicle so that traveling would be convenient and fast, whether to the Dead Sea or on land.

“That’s a very difficult thing.”

Hong Jian told him: "Nowadays, the number of electromechanical life is slowly decreasing year by year. The number of flying systems in electromechanical life is already very small, and the models that need to be responsible for transportation are even more precious."

Zhou Yi thought so too.

Airplanes are the least numerous among vehicles, so it is impossible for many flying mechatronic types to be born.

He asked: "Is the decrease in the number of electromechanical lives due to natural aging and death? Or is it due to war or environmental changes?"

“The main reason is natural aging.”

Hong Shun said: "The life cycle of electromechanical equipment varies due to different structures. However, generally speaking, as long as the minimum level of regular physical examinations, replacement and upgrading of parts are done, the average life span is more than 300 years, even considering deaths caused by force majeure."

"Unfortunately, not all mechatronic life forms are able to regularly maintain and upgrade themselves."

"The cost of replacing parts is a huge expense for most electromechanical life forms, and further upgrades are even more expensive. To maintain the life characteristics of electromechanical life forms, they can only remain in a dormant or low-power static mode on a daily basis. Relying solely on absorbing terrestrial dead light cannot make up for the energy gap."

"Once it is operating normally and working, it will consume energy packs. Although energy packs are the cheapest supplies, 10 energy packs also require 1 light seed, which is consumed very quickly."

Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this: "So if you calculate it this way, the income that the Iron Horse and Bronze Bull brothers get from me is only 2 Light Seeds a month, which is enough for them to buy energy packs, right? Isn't the salary a bit too low?"

This salary is not enough to cover maintenance, replacement and upgrade.

"Yes."

The drone responded: “But if the price is too high, the demander will not be able to pay.”

"Even with the current labor service pricing, a large number of cities are abandoning electromechanical life labor such as agricultural machinery and turning to cheaper local human or animal labor. Although there are various problems such as low efficiency, the key is cheapness, it can be very cheap, and there is no need to be subject to various restrictions like electromechanical cities."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of magic.

In the era he lives in, backward human and animal power are replaced by more efficient artificial intelligence, but in the wasteland era, Tiangang is developing in the opposite direction.

No wonder the agricultural machinery brothers all feel like their pockets are tight, and they have to repeatedly delay physical examinations after being injured.

Their physiological structure determines that they are a high-spending group.

In other words, the main cause of death of electromechanical life is poverty.

Zhou Yi added: "But I remember that the agricultural machinery brothers' search for job opportunities to demonstrate their skills should help them improve their skills, right? After their skills are improved, will it help alleviate their current situation?"

He had practiced the skills that came with the combat type, and he could hone them simply by entering the Dead Sea to fight.

For something like agricultural reclamation, one has to actually farm the land, and improving skill levels is more cumbersome and difficult.

"Yes."

Hong Shun elaborated: "Take agricultural machinery as an example. If it can be upgraded to a higher level of [Agricultural Reclamation] and [Farming], it will generate higher added value and may even improve high-quality crops with extremely high value. By further improving the skills and adding enough labor experience, you can complete the leap in professional class."

"For example, iron horses and bronze bulls are the most basic "agricultural machinery". If they are upgraded to the top of their skills, they can apply for an updated status and become "agricultural machinery experts". Their salaries will also rise sharply." "Many large cities that are truly engaged in long-term agricultural development will only recruit experts for guidance and planning. Ordinary agricultural machinery is not needed because most of the labor will be borne by human and animal power."

"It takes a long period of time and a lot of experience in farming to become an expert, which is quite difficult."

Zhou Yi now completely understood.

In fact, it is a skill title. Only when you have a higher skill title can you cross the threshold and become a high-level professional.

Mechanical and electrical life has perfectly inherited the scroll-shaped society of the old humans.

"Most electromechanical lives are just ordinary laborers."

Hong Falcon stressed: "Parts will continue to age naturally. The more they fail, the more their ratings will be downgraded, making it more difficult to get high-quality labor."

"Without the opportunity and ability to work, electromechanical life will fall into social death. The death of the body will follow soon. The continuous decrease in the number of electromechanical life is also due to this reason. Currently, they lack sufficient jobs and living space."

Zhou Yi thought of the agricultural machinery brothers again.

The two brothers have been back to Recursion City for over a month, and there has been no news of them so far. I wonder if they have managed to bypass the war zones along the way.

Hope they go well.

"The situation is different for the mechatronic life of the flight department."

Red Falcon brought the topic back: "Especially the larger ones. They have inherent advantages and can cross the Dead Sea relatively safely and quickly. They have always been the best choice for trade transportation and passenger transportation. The unemployment rate of the electromechanical life group continues to increase, but it has little impact on them."

"Most of the flying department members are either elites employed by various cities for a long time, such as the medical rescue aircraft "Cloud Track" sent by the Holy Mountain to the Energy Storage City, or they have founded their own businesses."

In short, this group is a natural elite and basically does not appear in the open talent market.

This is the situation.

Zhou Yi could only adjust his goal according to the actual situation.

Then let’s build a transport ship first.

When Zhou Yi clicked on the details, he was stunned.

These applicants are not the mechatronic life forms themselves, but the transport ships and vehicles owned by the mechatronic life forms.

The details describe that they use an advanced machine stack extension service that can remotely synchronize and control these transport vehicles to carry out activities.

In fact, it is to use a clone body and work remotely at home.

The biggest problem is that such operation will be affected by the transmission environment. It is also noted that if force majeure factors affect transmission synchronization, no responsibility will be assumed, and it is also recommended to purchase relevant insurance services... The most important thing is that almost all transport ships are in this extension mode.

Zhou Yi rubbed his face with his hands.

It is not easy to find a suitable employee.

Hong Xun said: "If you want to find a better one, you can only go to the five major central areas to post job openings. The closest one is Mirror City. However, the city is closed during the winter, and it will only be reopened after the winter ends."

Zhou Yi thought about it.

Since there is no suitable one, it’s better not to look for it.

At this time, Hong Jian said: "Why not consider Shengshe?"

"Shengshe?" Zhou Yi suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Hong Jian continued, "Although the group of Shengshe are flesh and blood creatures, they have a special skill [Joint] that allows them to connect to each other and be extremely stable."

"They will protect the injured, young, and dormant within the group, using their bodies to build a defensive structure. If there are enough victorious snakes, they will create a fortress and gather together to deal with external attacks."

"In addition, they are creatures that can travel across the Dead Sea and move very quickly. They have previously carried floating islands, proving that they can exert extremely strong thrust and transport heavy objects."

"Why not hire all the victorious snakes on the entire Snake Island and let them work together as a group to become the company's Dead Sea transportation specialists."

Zhou Yi suddenly had an epiphany.

I have always been thinking about mechanical and electrical life, but have ignored the much larger number of flesh and blood life.

The most needed puzzle piece turned out to be within reach.

He had just one question: "Will this really work? I don't know much about Katsusa."

"Normally, this is impossible because Sheng snakes are very aggressive and have high social attributes."

Hong Jian said: "But because of the existence of Da Vinci and Maria Hospital, the winning snakes on Snake Island also moved the floating island for this purpose. This is a successful case."

“Through Leonardo da Vinci, I think it is feasible.”

In that case, we have to give it a try.

Zhou Yi immediately rushed to Maria Hospital.
