Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 98 Black Pearl
Zhou Yi's words caused the waveform graph of the electromechanical doctor to shake.

Da Vinci's four mechanical arms twisted slowly. "There is nothing wrong with your idea from the perspective of physiological structure and mechanism. The victorious snakes that migrated to the vicinity of the hospital are not opposed to working in exchange for resources."

"The most important thing for them is to have a stable and safe habitat so that they can successfully reproduce. This is also the instinct of social creatures. They are very satisfied here and appear to be very relaxed."

"When injured or hungry, or when fighting, a large amount of hormones will be secreted in the body of the victorious snake, which will block the pain and become crazy. Under normal circumstances, although they cannot be called docile, they are still normal creatures with reason and intelligence."

"The biggest problem with the solution you describe is communication."

Victory snakes communicate with each other by releasing pheromones. They are like an encrypted chat room, and it is quite difficult for outsiders to talk to them.

As a mechatronic doctor, Da Vinci purchased special pheromones and installed the corresponding application program in order to communicate with the winning snake.

Even if ordinary people possess pheromones, it is difficult to use this information carrier to accurately express their meaning. Reading the pheromones that cross each other among victorious snakes is an even more difficult task.

What Zhou Yi was originally worried about was that the victorious snakes were, after all, C-level creatures, and a group of hundreds of individuals, and they might not be willing to do things for him.

I didn't expect there would be no obstacles in this regard.

Communication is the easiest thing for him.

"I'll try."

Zhou Yi gently touched the assistant recommended by Leonardo da Vinci, a snake with a small horn on the tip of his nose.

The skin feels cold and hard, like a block of iron.

Although the victorious snakes are called snakes, except for their long bodies, other aspects are more similar to metal or stone.

Zhou Yi looked at the corner head. It seemed like a real-life 3D snake made up of black metal regular polyhedrons. There was only one eye on its symmetrical spherical head, with a ring-shaped silver pupil.

After living in the Dead Sea for a long time, a large amount of light soot and light amber have been absorbed on the surface of the body of the victorious snake, forming this solid shell.

When fighting in groups, they are connected to each other by mortise and tenon joints, and attack the enemy together for life and death. This is how they gradually became a well-known ferocious species in the Dead Sea.

Zhou Yichao input energy into the victorious snake that he touched.

……

He said silently in his heart: "Can you hear me?"

A response suddenly sounded in my mind.

"You, how did you do it? Your hands can talk to me? No wonder you are Dr. Da Vinci's boss..."

The pupil of Shengshe's single eye shrank into a tiny dot.

Zhou Yi said: "This is not important. Gang leader, if I want to talk to you..."

After listening, Kakuto replied: "Communication between the snakes is very simple, because we do not have a one-to-one communication situation. We all emit a scent that everyone can smell. In the words of Dr. Da Vinci, the diffusion of pheromones is uniform."

"You are the boss of Doctor Da Vinci and our great benefactor. Just ask us what you want us to do. If anyone offends you, we will deal with it! We are good at this!"

The Kakuto said this with full momentum.

After Zhou Yi had a conversation with it, he had a general idea of what was going on.

Flesh and blood life cannot establish a universal communication module (such as text messages and voice) like electromechanical life, but they also have their own advantages, which is that they are more receptive to change and adapt to the environment.

If you ask the farm machinery brothers to fight, they will probably just point their guns at you and ask why you don’t go? We are just farm machinery.

But when it comes to this group of victorious snakes, before Zhou Yi even says a word, they're asking who you want to deal with!

Since we can't make precise requirements, let them handle it flexibly.

Anyway, the focus is on transporting goods or people.

Da Vinci quickly reached a consensus with the victorious snakes.

"Chairman, in response to our company's invitation to cooperate, the Sheng Snake Group on Snake Island has only one request."

"They want to be able to get some mushrooms regularly."

Zhou Yi immediately came back to his senses: "Sage Mushroom?"

"Exactly."

A slowly changing wave pattern appeared on Da Vinci's long horizontal face. "As a doctor, I have always advised them not to continue using the Sage Mushroom. In the long run, it may cause a certain degree of mental dependence, or even an addiction."

"But I also admit that after the victorious snakes ate the Sage Mushroom, their emotions became more stable and rational, and they were able to come up with more ideas, which was beneficial to the order of the entire group. If the intake is controlled, based on existing examples, it is indeed beneficial to them."

Zhou Yi didn't expect that much.

Since the Sage Mushroom is useful to them, just eat it first and then find a way to solve subsequent problems.

"no problem."

Zhou Yi said, "You decide the quantity." "Yes, Chairman."

……

After getting the promise they wanted, the victorious snakes immediately took action.

Black snakes gathered on the edge of the Dead Sea.

They first observed the small reinforced ship next to them, which was also their template.

Then the first batch of victory snakes stretched their bodies and lay flat on the ground, forming the bottom structure like parallel long wooden strips. Each victory snake held a tail with its head, and they formed a linear connection with each other, and then began to stack and intertwine with each other, and soon formed a black ship.

It is similar in shape to a reinforced ship, but a little longer.

The cornerman raised his round head, looked at Zhou Yi with his one eye, and said through the same frequency of consciousness: "Chairman, we have entered the ship state. This is not difficult. We have experience in building fortresses in the past."

Zhou Yi looked at the strange black ship in front of him.

If you don't know if it's a Victory Snake, it looks like a stone ship built with a lot of black bricks and spherical stones, with a weird low-pixel feel all over, as if an item in the game had mistakenly entered the real world.

The ship was slowly moving in the Dead Sea.

At first it was a bit uncoordinated, with some pulling and tugging, and the whole ship frequently moving forward and backward out of sync, swaying from side to side.

It looked like a wild vessel, getting into the water for the first time and adjusting to its own body.

However, this clumsy sailing method soon became flexible after being led and taught by the reinforced ship next to it.

The black ship shuttled back and forth in the foggy Dead Sea, turning left and right flexibly, and even dived into the Dead Sea and emerged again.

The victorious snakes have a high level of synergy, and it's clear that they have had similar cooperative experiences before.

The corner leader said: "Chairman, it's not difficult to do this. It's just floating on the Dead Sea. Transporting things is also a small problem. If Maria and Dr. Da Vinci need medicine, we can go and get it!"

"If we encounter suspicious enemies along the way, we can start a fight right away, use [Poison Break] to conduct a concentrated attack, and siege them in combat form! We are very strong in combat!"

Zhou Yi touched his chin. It would be a pretty good scene if a ship suddenly started to spit out venom, opened its eyes, and then turned into many giant black snakes besieging it.

Then comes the naming phase.

For the sake of convenience, Zhou Yi gave the black ship composed of the victorious snakes a classic name "Black Pearl".

From then on, the Black Pearl began to sail in the nearby Dead Sea.

……

In addition to the successful trial of the Black Pearl, the return of the Nongji brothers also made Zhou Yi overjoyed.

The tires and headlights of the Tiema were replaced, and an antenna device similar to WIFI was installed. The "Dongfanghong" that had originally fallen off the front of the car was also restored and turned into cast bronze Chinese characters, which looks more textured.

"Chairman, we are back."

As soon as Tiema came back, he said, "I was shocked when the repair list came out. The engine failure was expected, and the optical printing structure also had a short circuit and local high temperature burning..."

"If you don't replace it, it's very likely to get further damaged until you lose consciousness. Inspection and repair prices are getting more and more expensive, plus there's a war going on near Recursion City, so the prices of everything are rising."

"After replacing these things, with a three-year quality guarantee and free repairs, I can rest assured and continue to work hard!"

"I owe you! 1200 light seeds, I will pay you back with work. As long as you don't drive us brothers away, we will continue to work."

Zhou Yi patted its hood and said, "I'm glad you're okay."

Then he introduced the agricultural consultant Zheng Tao to the agricultural machinery brothers.

Tiema was very happy.

"We brothers are indeed weak in this regard. We are experts in farming, but we don't know how to sell grain. It would be a pity if the grain could not be sold to places that need it."

……

Four days later.

Zhou Yi received a piece of important news.

Recursion City found a huge alien floating on the sea about 1700 kilometers southeast of Emerald City. A fierce battle broke out between the alien and several warships.

The one fighting was also an acquaintance.

It was the Seventh Fleet of the Knights of the Dead Sea.

Zhou Yi decided to send someone to observe the situation on the scene first.
