Zhou Yi called for Jiong Hecang, Wu Yi, and Red Kestrel.

He initiated consciousness synchronization and, using himself as a switchboard operator, began discussing the matter with them.

Jiong Hecang said, "My measurement abilities are interfered with and hindered by specially-made devices and shielding buildings. Many obstructions appear suspicious to me."

"If we penetrate each of those suspicious areas one by one, we'll quickly be alerted to and discovered by the enemy."

Bone Man Wu Yi said, "I can covertly sift through abnormal areas."

"Neither underground nor within buildings can totally escape the coverage of sand. No matter the camouflage and covering, I can carry out the initial screening. Then narrow down the search area and locate where the Light Burst Angel is."

Zhou Yi was pleasantly surprised.

The two A-level employees were quite complementary.

Bone Man would do the initial screening, then after locking onto the target, Condenser would take action.

Red Kestrel then said, "The Light Burst Angel is a technology that is banned and rejected by the Mechanical City, and the Heavenly Kingdom has already promised not to use electromechanical life as the main body again. The revised technology has changed to 'Light Explosion Disaster Body.'"

"To ensure stability, the Light Burst Angel is in a frozen dormant state before being activated."

"The first exclusion zone for installation wouldn't be the Dead Sea; it'd need very high protection technology and infrastructure to withstand Light Burst, rapids, and high pressure, akin to what is achieved in City 404. The Shuanghe Region couldn't manage it."

"Therefore, it could only be stored on land, within some building or underground facility."

The drone said, "Zhou, if you can rescue this electromechanical life that has been transformed into a biochemical weapon, you will receive gratitude from the Mechanical City, and your credit rating will also benefit. So far, no Light Burst Angels have been successfully rescued."

Zhou Yi hadn't thought of this.

The key point was.

The absence of Light Burst Angels in Shuanghe Region was very important to the company.

After a detailed discussion, the Light Burst Angel dismantling operation officially commenced.

For this secret operation, Condenser first marked suspicious areas, with Bone Man controlling the sand to check each one in turn. Through double filtering, they would lock down the specific location of the Light Burst Angel.

The hardest part was the communication between the two employees.

Zhou Yi was also powerless about this.

To think that there were still communication barriers despite being A-level life forms was outrageous.

However, Condenser said, "It's not that it's impossible. As long as we enter the Inner World of consciousness activity, we can understand each other instantly."

"But doing so would trigger the Great Holy Spirit to mark us. We would be rejected by the shallow Inner World here and be drawn into the deep Inner World of the Outer Sea, becoming true Skywalkers."

Zhou Yi then consulted with Xiao Fu.

"Da Zhou, this is the natural law of life evolution."

Reverse Flow explained, "Just like the branches and fruits that grow, they always extend upwards and outwards. The flow of energy is from bottom to top, from surface to core."

"Big fish can't live in shallow water."

Neither Condenser nor Bone Man planned to go to the Outer Sea, so they definitely couldn't touch the Great Holy Spirit.

Hence, Zhou Yi helped them with some simple tactical gestures.

For instance, to pinpoint a location, Condenser would reflect bright light in that area, Bone Man would pile up dunes there, mark the target with an arrow afterward, and then both would take action together...

It took Zhou Yi and the two of them five days to complete a set of simple sand/light tactical gestures.

The two A-level employees secretly deployed.

...

Another day passed.

The first phase of the Wuhu Elevated Bridge construction was officially completed, linking directly with Chicken Head Town 20 kilometers away. It was still another 27 kilometers to Sand Port City, and the second phase project was also being gradually rolled out.

The rebuilt elevated bridge had its height reduced to 3 meters. There were no large spans or obstacles along the way, providing greater stability. Both the bridge and the foundations were easier to complete, and construction could be extended more quickly.

Only construction life forms could complete an inter-city elevated bridge in a month and a half.

But the Wuhu Bridge itself wasn't very satisfied.

"You only asked for it to be completed as soon as possible. Structures like these have insufficient load-bearing capacity. If subjected to external strong impacts or explosions, its own strength is not enough, and it's very prone to local collapse. There are flaws and hidden dangers."

Zhou Yi helplessly said, "You're a bridge, not a war fortress. There's no need to consider enduring bombardments or impacts from tens of thousands of tons."

"For the Sand Port Region, this size and strength are already more than enough. As long as it can help vehicles travel quickly between the two places, it's a success. That's our actual need."

"...You do have a point," admitted the Wuhu Bridge, not so stubborn. "If needed in the future, it can also be reinforced and strengthened."

Zhou Yi was more concerned about another matter.

"I heard that in the public area, you're having some disagreements with everyone?"

"It's not disagreement, I just don't understand them," said Wuhu Bridge.

"They're all chatting every day, discussing this and that, what's not good, what's fine... Such idle chatter is meaningless."

"If everyone spends their time chatting, how can we change the backward aspect of transportation here?"

"I thought that since we all had broken through our mechanical enclosures, we should be discussing together how to display our abilities to a greater extent, fulfill our functions, and build the order we're leading."

"But what are they doing all day?"

"Maria Hospital talks about all kinds of strange things daily as if there's no end to it. But sum it up, and you realize that everything it says is basically worthless. All nonsense."

"Yalong Bay is experienced and also helps everyone with energy supplies. I appreciate and admire that. But it always thinks it's right, making it hard to agree with the ideas of other life forms."

"Jade City is good, it's just always worried about building 5 and 6, and the 7 under construction, which seems a bit off from its own functions. It's a pity."

"As for the Big Buddha... I can't understand it."

"Everyone now has the ability to communicate with each other, but because of differences, we've become even weaker! With the current situation, how can we possibly do our jobs well!!"

The elevated bridge berated its colleagues angrily.

Zhou Yi was at a loss, too.

Communication allowed everyone to come together like grains of sand forming a tower, but there were also personal conflicts and differences in character.

The Wuhu Bridge was a particular architectural life, very methodical and with high standards for work.

Zhou Yi could only say to it, "Everyone is different, we've all been living on our own for many years, and it's very difficult to change our habits and personalities."

"We humans have the same kind of problems, too. Even good friends argue, and disagreements are common... In short, all this is very normal."

"If everyone were exactly the same, that would be a loss of vitality. You say something, and it knows, you know how it will react, and it's the same way. It's like talking to yourself."

"Maybe you have your point."

Wuhu Bridge insisted, "However, I'm still focused on my work, and I won't waste my time and energy going anywhere else."

Zhou Yi could only respect that.

For architectural life that had been lone wolves for years, truly starting to adapt to social interaction was a process.

After the first phase of the elevated bridge was completed, Lord Sha Hai on the other end could hardly wait to hit the road. It sent out an enhanced car, transporting all sorts of goods back and forth between Chicken Head Town and Jade City.

The two lanes of the great bridge began to bustle with traffic.

...

On the fifth day.

The Double-A employee squad completed their mission and returned.

Zhou Yi looked at the small object in front of him with a puzzled expression.

It was an oval-shaped white robotic sweeper, fixed inside a transparent glass container. Inside, there were white Light Spines sticking to the black Light Wall, dense and cable-like, connected to the electromechanical life within.

Zhou Yi asked, "Is this the Light Burst Angel?"

"Yes, Chairman."

The Condenser said, "It has far more energy than its peers, multiple Light Imprint Structures compressed together, the strength reaching B-level or above, and the detonation can reach B+ level destructive power."

"Luckily we had Bone Man Wu Yi's sand control ability to safely dismantle, wrap, and transport it back here."

Bone Man said, "It was stored in an underground bunker with multiple layers of tight security. I used sand control to get inside, and fortunately, the Condenser breached the alarm system there, or it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Zhou Yi immediately started up the Sea God.

Under the influence of the Circumference Light Device, the Light Burst Angel turned into an oval-shaped silver electronic tattoo, and beneath it, small wheels were still visible.

Zhou Yi immersed himself inside the nucleus, overlooking the tube.

On the double helix structure, the robotic sweeper kept moving forward.

"Can you hear me? What's your name?"

"Can you enter my consciousness?"

The other side was surprised, then stopped and rotated left and right, "Who are you, where are you?"

"My name is Zhou Yi. I'm the chairman of the Wasteland Development Company. Simply put, I've dismantled you from Duke Destructive, converted you into a special energy state... Now our conversation won't trigger your detonation mechanism."

"There's such technology in the world? Huh? My protocol restrictions are indeed ineffective. Does that mean..."

The robotic sweeper paused, "Has a new era arrived already? Has the Heavenly Kingdom perished?"

Zhou Yi said, "No, the Heavenly Kingdom still exists. The application of self-destructive Alien technology has only been 70 years to this day. The situation is generally like this..."

"I thought I had come into a new era."

The robot sounded somewhat melancholy.

It then introduced itself, "Hello, I'm the Stone Self-Cleaning Sweeping and Mopping Robot P20, and my name is Shi Gandang."

This name was undoubtedly given by the person who had purchased this robot in the past.

Zhou Yi was curious, "Did you volunteer to become a Light Burst Angel, or were you forcibly transformed? There's very little understanding of the Light Burst Angel in the outside world, as the Heavenly Kingdom has kept it very tightly sealed."

"We were all forcibly transformed."

Shi Gandang replied, "It's shameful to say, but in fact, the technology of the Light Burst Angel was developed by us, the transformed... Initially, it was a technology applied to architectural life, and we were all Light Seal Experts employed by the Heavenly Kingdom."

"Our initial mission was to decode the secrets of architectural life's bodies, try to clone their Light Imprints, and use these Light Imprints to make connections with them."

"Later, one of our experiments went awry, causing the explosion of an architectural life, and that changed the whole direction."

Zhou Yi immediately realized, "That was the first instance of an architectural life explosion?"

"Yes. The power was enormous, surpassing existing scales, comparable to an A-level Light Burst."

Shi Gandang slowly continued, "Everyone was very upset and sad because that architectural life was very friendly. It always cooperated with our experiments, and we all called it Experimental Angel. It was a very small mill, always waving its windmills for everyone, and never hurt anyone on purpose. I will never forget it."

Zhou Yi was puzzled, "Then why were you transformed? Was it to keep this detonation technology a secret?"

"Detonation technology?"

The robotic sweeper said, "That certainly has tremendous destructive power, but it's actually not the important part. What's important is what gets produced after the explosion."

"After the Experimental Angel exploded, it didn't vanish completely, but rather transformed into another form."

Shi Gandang said solemnly, "The outside world only knows that it exploded and perished, but in reality, it had shed the heavy constraints of its body and transformed into another, even more terrifying existence..."

Zhou Yi's eyes sharpened.

It seemed he had discovered some significant inside information.
