Wasteland Development Diary

Three days later.

Sand Port, Jade City First Building, 3101.

Zhou Yi surveyed the people in the room. They were all heads of departments.

At this meeting, both the ministers of the Moon and Mars Affairs Departments, Jacob and Duke Destructive, were present, and even Liang Zi from the Outer Sea Division, which usually operated independently, was in attendance.

Zhou Yi raised his right index finger: "Today, we are discussing one thing: the next strategic step."

He glanced around at the people: "Not long ago, the Cave People reached a preliminary conclusion on Jupiter exploration. Yuan Xiao, please brief everyone."

"Yes."

As the assistant, Yuan Xiao immediately activated the projection wall, playing the images recorded by the Evil Brain Motor.

"With company funding, after the Cave People returned to Jupiter, they split into three groups over there…"

This was the first time the complete identity and detailed experiences of the Cave People were revealed, and also the first detailed explanation of the complex relationships between the String Civilization, Time Master, and Heavenly People.

Even though the attendees were experienced and knowledgeable figures within the company, they listened with shocked expressions on their faces.

Duke Destructive was the first to speak: "What is our position?"

"That is a good question."

Zhou Yi nodded.

Duke Destructive had asked the question everyone present was most concerned about.

"The company's stance has always been very clear, we must actively develop and overcome all current blockades and restrictions. Previously, our biggest obstacle was the Dead Sea, but now, the Circular Flow has become an energy tide we can utilize."

"Next in line is the Heavenly People."

The attendees seemed to have vaguely guessed this point, so no one showed any surprise.

Zhou Yi said: "The colonial rule of the Heavenly People over Earth must end, and it will eventually end."

"Now is the time."

"Thus, the company's next strategic step is to transform the Heavenly People."

Duke Destructive again spoke as a spokesperson: "Chairman, I have a question. Why not expel or eliminate the Heavenly People, but transform them instead?"

"Expelling the Heavenly People, they might make a comeback, turning it into a long war whose end no one can predict. Even if we could eliminate them completely, it would revive the String Civilization, whose destructive power would exceed that of the Heavenly People."

Zhou Yi told everyone: "So the best approach is to transform the Heavenly People. Make them become one of us, integrate with us, and become part of the new Solar System community, standing on the same side as us."

"This way, even if there are internal conflicts, they can be relieved and regulated."

"The relevant experiences and lessons are already recorded in the history of ancient humanity."

Qian Su then said: "Chairman, this direction is certainly good. The company's previous responses to challenges in various regions, as well as the hegemony of the Heavenly Kingdom on the largest continent, and even the Dream Demon Clan behind the Great Holy Spirit, through fusion and common interests, have shown very good effects. But, do we have this capability now?"

She raised the point: "Regarding the Heavenly People, we know very little intelligence. We do not know their exact numbers, their leaders, their political system, nor their strength in actual combat…"

Sitting at the center, Zhou Yi calmly said: "I will answer them one by one."

"The strong fields for the Heavenly People are energy, materials, and the transformation projects targeting celestial bodies."

"Their weak fields are in life sciences and the domain of consciousness."

"So previously for the transformation of Earth life, they even had to mimic Mechanical Life, using Light Imprint's paths to arrange combinations, seeking replacements for the Intelligence Core and glass man."

"Our entry point is also here."

When he wrote in his diary about the goal to transform the Heavenly People, Zhou Yi already had a comprehensive plan.

The battle against the Heavenly People is divided into three domains for simultaneous propulsion.

The first is the revival of the Cave People.

The Cave People themselves are very special, being not only the biological group used by the String Civilization to control Jupiter but also the foundational unit of this assembly called the Heavenly People, having created a very technically powerful micro civilization.

To drive the revival of the Cave People, developing and utilizing Jupiter, breakthroughs can be made to the Heavenly People's existing sealed structure from the micro domain, creating a breach from inside out.

The second is the deciphering of the gemstones.

Continuous in-depth analysis of silicon crystal gemstones, used as bodily and tool carriers by the Heavenly People, knows oneself and knows the enemy, to win a hundred battles and not be imperiled. This aspect has been undertaken by the Mechanical Life on the Moon, currently hosted by Jue Mingzi and 703.

The third is uniting more groups opposing the Heavenly People.

This has, in fact, started since the company's founding. From the earliest contact with the Warlord, then the Dragon, and later the Old King… they have been engaged in resistance activities in different ways.

Clearly within the anti-Heavenly People camp, without doubt, the strongest and most potent entity is the Giant Bone Fish [Earth Ghost].

Originally, Zhou Yi intended to achieve deep cooperation and alliance with it to jointly launch the battle against the Heavenly People.

However, in reality, they have no regard for the power of Earth and even completely ignored Zhou Yi's request for dialogue.

This arrogance has its reasons.

After all, a single Giant Bone Fish has killed several Heavenly People, punched through the Heavenly People's defenses on Jupiter's moon, and took Jupiter's moon Europa as its base. It coexists with time creatures, with top-level life strength and combat capabilities.

Earth is a colony the Heavenly People casually took over, and except for the Giant Bone Fish, no other life form has ever broken through its blockade. Local life instead considers it an honor to become lackeys of the Heavenly People, vying for the position of proxy, bankrupting themselves one after another, clashing desperately...

Hence.

Zhou Yi could only slow down his steps, initially sending the company's Bone Fish to further their education with the Earth Ghost. After all, enhancing the combat capabilities of the Bone Fish group is inherently beneficial, and it is also preparation for dealing with the Heavenly People.
