Wasteland Development Diary

Chapter 143 Reverse Flow Returns


The emergence of the mutated electric cat prompted Zhou Yi to summon technical personnel from the company's electricity department, program department, and hospital to inspect it.

After comprehensive inspections and experiments, 703 made a summary statement.

"Chairman, this is indeed a mutated form of electric cat. It has stronger resistance, and its circular energy structure generates a motion phenomenon similar to a miniature accretion disk through strong electromagnetic forces."

"The most prominent features it displays are viscosity and energy jetting."

"Viscosity causes material and energy to move inward and angular momentum to transfer outward, gradually drawing matter and energy closer to the center of the electric cat. The movement it shows externally is the rapid capture of nearby energy and matter."

"In this process, the friction generated by viscosity heats the material, changing the trajectory of energy movement and thus releasing a large amount of energy, primarily in the form of electromagnetic radiation."

"Ultimately, this energy from the electromagnetic radiation forms a jet, and the narrow beam maintains high collimation over long distances."

The robotic dog said, "The mutated electric cat has a strong ability to manipulate energy and has created a special strong electromagnetic structure. At the same level, the energy consumption of Shali Huo is 2.6 times that of the A-level electric cat Pikachu, with higher energy consumption bringing more powerful functions."

"Using either 'Viscosity' or 'Jetting' requires a lot of energy. During combat, the energy consumption of electric cats can increase to more than 3 times that of the normal state, with a maximum of up to 20 times the intensity, capable of handling force impacts of up to 1 million."

"In actual combat tests, the mutated electric cat successfully captured remote Light Imprint Missiles with its viscosity."

"Facing an A-level Death Light Weapon, 'Death Light Cannon,' it effectively performed a safe refraction."

"If it encounters an assault from the mechanical and electrical military forces again, the mutated electric cat can effectively block and even reflect enemy attacks within its covered area."

The mutated electric cat didn't display any obvious defects.

Apart from becoming a heavy energy consumer, requiring more electric power, it didn't have other abnormalities—it merely slept more than ordinary electric cats, almost able to sleep all day in the cat house when not called out.

Only during thunderstorms, did it energetically stroll in the sky and absorb natural electrical power.

It's just a big eater and sleep-loving version of an electric cat.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but recall that the source of his "Life Strike" ability, Black Soul, was produced from the mutation of the Red Monster.

He named this mutated electric cat as Electric Soul.

Electric Soul can almost intercept all kinds of energy attacks, with the only flaw being ineffective against consciousness attacks.

But with atmosphere creatures and mic masters, there's no need to worry.

The company did not produce an invincible spear, but did premature acquire a biological shield capable of blocking various attacks, and it's sustainably and substantially cultivatable.

Regarding future military attacks from the Mechanical and Electrical City Group—or what might be initiated by the Legal Front, Zhou Yi felt more confident.

He used to fear long-range missiles that could travel over 50 kilometers, but that's no longer a problem.

The company now has its own air defense system!

This spring, the power system centered around electric cats developed rapidly, advancing terrifyingly fast in all aspects.

Whether it's electricity infrastructure, breeding electric cats, related application support, or the cashing in of chemical by-products profits… breakthroughs and new discoveries frequently occurred.

In the following two weeks.

The second batch of electric cats from Spark Plain, led by Panda Man Tuo Zhu, returned, all successfully advancing to A-level. The third batch of electric cats also departed with Ye Zhao leading them to sea.

Electric cats began to appear everywhere in the streets and alleys of Sand Port, moving through the high-altitude guide wires. Their speed was so fast, they could reach another location in an instant, appearing ubiquitous, lighting up everywhere with electric sparks.

As a result, the electricity department stipulated that working electric cats, when moving on the ground, should not shuttle in front of the public unless necessary, but move through the interior of wires. This was to avoid affecting ordinary people's lives and disrupting normal social order.

New assorted electric power facilities were visibly being built at a rapid pace.

Power stations + Curved Houses + Electrolysis Towers + Sky-Net + Electric Cat Transcoder together formed the most basic electric power system configuration.

The Shuanghe Region, relying on its powerful financial and human resources, took the lead in catching up with the company's pace, starting major electricity infrastructure projects, getting two electric cats from the company for cultivation.

Duke Destructive was the only alliance member who completely replicated the company's Electric Cat System in Jade City.

Another active region was Shell City.

It had a large plot of land available and, apart from the Mushroom House industry, Duke Beidu was also constantly searching for new pillar industries to provide more stable revenue and counter risks.

Its main focus was the direction of electric power, specifically constructing power plants, and even brought in electricity engineers to build large-scale flow batteries to store electricity.

Duke Beidu said, "Mr. Zhou, Shell City previously accumulated a certain amount of Light Seed from Mushroom Houses, and now most are invested in the construction of the electric power sector. In the future, aside from other things, if any area within the alliance is short of electricity, we can supply it. Subsequently, we will develop even cheaper and more portable new batteries, convenient for transportation and supply."

"The future demand for electricity will be very large, especially for charging when going out. I believe battery development has great prospects."

He maintained his usual clear-headedness, daring to make judgments and lay out plans in advance.

Meanwhile, Steel Refining City focused on chemicals.

"Mr. Zhou, we have long-term experience in raw material production here, with ready-made factories, skilled workers, and experience. Setting up Electrolysis Towers in Steel Refining City is most suitable."

The goal of the Steel Refining Lord was to produce caustic soda, chlorine, and hydrogen with the Electrolysis Towers, and then sell them externally.

The entire production process required a large number of workers to engage in different stages, further enhancing the production capacity of this manufacturing and processing city.

Only the Tree Monster Territory did not participate in the exploration of new industries.

Lord Tree Monster straightforwardly said, "We don't have such good city and construction foundations here, and our budget is also limited. We will also keep up and build an electric power system as soon as possible, providing space for electric cats to move."

"The core of the Tree Monster Territory is still agriculture, fisheries, and forestry. Planting Wise Mushrooms better and in greater quantities is the core competitiveness here."

...

At the end of this rapidly developing spring, Reverse Flow finally returned.

"Phew! Finally done!"

"Da Zhou, how about your side?"

Zhou Yi heard that familiar voice in his mind, feeling a sense of relief.

Xiao Fu said actively, "I've made a Fire Chamber Plate for you. Give it a try, the device is directly on your Memory Core, ready for use."

Zhou Yi immersed himself in the consciousness space, where there was a peculiar Triangular Star turntable with three nodes that could be connected.

According to Xiao Fu's guidance, Zhou Yi connected the Memory Cores of mic master and Tietie, instantly lighting up two corners of the Triangular Star turntable.

Atmosphere creatures were still leveling up in the Forbidden Continent, and Xiao Fu's No. 2 machine was also not needed, leaving one spot vacant.

Xiao Fu said, "Now you can try out their abilities."

At this moment, Zhou Yi felt something extraordinary.

The Fire Seed Life on his shoulder initiated some deep connection, allowing him direct access to the profound powers within their Memory Cores.

He first tried the ability of mic master.

Zhou Yi looked towards Yuan Xiao, and Yuan Xiao's eyes instantly glazed over, standing motionless.

The BGM field also became completely different.

The whole world was composed of cubic blocks like some sort of twisted Rubik's cube, slowly rotating on its own.

Zhou Yi now understood it all.

These blocks were the Consciousness as Zhou Hao described, forming song after song.

Each cube area consisted of many consciousness blocks, with only a narrow path representing the melody. Those inside had to find this melody to find their way out of the complex maze of blocks.

Zhou Yi had a clear bird's-eye view.

At the moment, Yuan Xiao was standing at a corner of the cube, looking around.

There, the blocks formed "Listen to Your Mother."

Focusing one's sight on it would play the music within.

Zhou Yi could freely twist this giant music cube, causing the interior to continuously roll, making it difficult for those trapped to find their way out.

He now understood how mic master locked down enemies.

Ability release.

Yuan Xiao looked dazed for a moment, then regained consciousness and nervously asked, "Chairman, did I do something wrong…"

"No, just testing. You have sufficient strength, making you the best subject for the test."

Angel of Death then sighed in relief.

Zhou Yi then activated Tietie's ability.

The next second.

Yuan Xiao's eyes became confused, and she looked at Zhou Yi with doubt and caution, "You... who are you? Why are you in our company's Jade City?"

"Who are you really? What do you want! How did you get in here!"

Angel of Death began to bristle, her white whiskers extending, looking ready to switch to combat mode.

But before she prepared to fight, she looked around again, "Eh? Where are they? I remember there was a stranger intruding here... Maybe I was just seeing things?"

Though right beside her, she seemed unable to see Zhou Yi at all, looking around him, even brushing past him without any realization.

Zhou Yi was secretly pleased within, no wonder Xiao Fu valued Tietie's ability so much, its effect was just too potent.

It not only made one forget things related to oneself, but it could also make one completely forget one's existence, with powerful modifications and concealment in the field of consciousness.

Zhou Yi immediately canceled the ability.

Yuan Xiao's originally fierce gaze gradually softened and calmed down, somewhat astonished, "Huh? Eh..."

"Chairman, why are you here, I didn't notice at all."

"When was it..."

"What am I doing? Am I sick? Chairman, I don't know what happened... My body felt out of control, it was odd."

Angel of Death was somewhat confused.

Yet Zhou Yi was quite satisfied with the result.

For the sake of keeping the ability highly confidential, he simply said, "Don't worry about it, I used a little trick. It's fine."

"Is that so? Understood."

Yuan Xiao then let it go.

Zhou Yi remarked, "The Fire Chamber Plate indeed has a wide range of uses."

Xiao Fu said, "It's okay. It's just that because we haven't reached the Fire Civilization stage yet, we can only make do with this for now."

Next, Zhou Yi summarized this year's company developments, emphasizing the important aspects.

"Taboo Paradise..."

Xiao Fu pondered for a while, "I've read the information you gave me, this place has already surpassed the civilization level of the Earth's world. Neither electric cats nor golden elephants are life forms that this world could naturally bear or birth."

"Your judgment is correct. With these high-strength lives from Taboo Paradise, taming and turning them into usable laborers is currently the fastest way to enhance composite strength and make up for deficiencies. If we proceed conventionally, we'll always be suppressed and led by the Mechanical and Electrical City group under the Light Imprint Skill system."

Zhou Yi summoned Pikachu from the cat house.

Thus, the lightning cat perched on his shoulder, emitting slight crackling sounds.

Xiao Fu observed it carefully.

"It indeed is an Energy State Life, though not of that high-density type… Huh? Huh? If that's the case."

Reverse Flow suddenly said, "Being of the same Energy State, you can easily convert them into Fire Seed Life, massively connecting them to your mechanism! This way you can quickly reach Class A, and aim for the Light Core Body!"

Zhou Yi was startled, "Really can do it?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Fu excitedly said, "Hurry up and reach Class A, then we can go treasure hunting!"
