Zhou Yi turned his gaze to the second mber.

Compared to the dazzling Rolls-Royce, the other chanical life form was unremarkable.

It was a yellow-painted movable traffic light, with a four-sided display on top and a small car with solar panels below, crude and rusty.

"Hello, I'm Sai Nuojie..."

The traffic light's voice was weak and seed uncertain.

It stamred a bit and said: "I am an intelligent traffic light... I can regulate the timing of the traffic lights based on the flow of cars and pedestrians, through caras, sensors, and display devices, thereby easing traffic congestion."

"My past work involved real-ti monitoring of the number of vehicles at intersections, the distance and speed of vehicles, as well as the number of pedestrians… and the external weather conditions, dynamically regulating the traffic light signals to improve the rate of vehicles passing through the intersections, reducing the idle ti of traffic lights, and ultimately enhancing traffic flow."

Zhou Yi had so difficulties.

The career of a traffic light seed a bit out of place for the company.

There are too few cars around here.

The traffic is concentrated on the overpasses, with four lanes, all direct, and the roads are spacious, without any congestion that needs to be commanded by traffic lights.

As for Guste, Zhou Yi really wanted to recruit him to fill an ecological niche in the company, facilitating communication and connection with the upper levels of other chanical life forms.

As for the traffic light, he was already thinking about how to kindly reject it.

Seeing this, 703 imdiately stood up and said, "Chairman, Sai Nuojie's role is not limited to that. It is the self-expanding type, any equipnt with caras or radars can expand its coverage area, and it can fully monitor every intersection."

"It alone can support the traffic monitoring and regulation of an entire city, or even a region."

"It's just not very good at self-promotion, so its presentation lacks focus."

Zhou Yi was intrigued.

He looked at the unimpressive traffic light: "Sai Nuojie, can you manage a large number of caras to observe the road conditions?"

"Yes, yes."

The traffic light quickly replied, "There was a ti when the newer models encountered data errors, and since I'm an older model, I took over the traffic supervisory caras in Chuneng City's 3/4 area. It only lasted 7 days but there were no traffic issues throughout the period."

Zhou Yi's eyes sharpened.

This guy seed like a useless traffic light.

Turns out it's a mini-Skynet.

"What requirents do you have for expansion equipnt?"

"Just... normal caras, and radars are fine, there's no specific requirent for the model."

Zhou Yi asked carefully, confirming that he still needed the caras and radars from the Old Humans era, which were mostly available for sale only in chanical City.

He imdiately had Red Kestrel contact Shang Fulin to inquire if the Chunqiu Chamber of Comrce had any connections.

The Bone-man Manager said, "There's no problem at all. Ordinary models of caras and radars are in large stock in chanical City. There are also many being continuously excavated from the Divine Era Relics in the Dead Sea."

"If they are just ordinary civilian models used on the ground, it's 1 Light Seed per piece, and there could be a small discount in bulk."

"Mr. Zhou, how many are you planning to order?"

Zhou Yi looked at Sai Nuojie: "Are you interested in working for our company?"

"Yes!"

The traffic light said excitedly, "My abilities are 'Traffic Regulation' and 'Monitoring', and I am confident in improving traffic efficiency based on the actual situation. My previous annual salary was 12 Light Seeds, this compensation would be fine!"

Zhou Yi nodded, "Compensation is not an issue. If covering the Sand Port Region, from Sand Port City in the west to here in Jade City, we need to achieve full route monitoring. How many caras do you think we need?"

"Ah? To monitor the entire region?"

Sai Nuojie pondered for a mont and lit up a green light: "Based on existing data, installing 100 caras in a city would suffice. However, for an entire region, the situation outside the city is more complicated and many factors need to be considered."

"Caras circulate well in the market and are also the 'eyes' for chanical life forms, so they might be stolen or damaged. I actually don't recomnd installing caras outdoors; it's more reliable and less costly to capture with drones from the air."

"There are one city and three towns here; installing caras in populated areas should be enough."

Zhou Yi pondered for a mont: "Then first install in these four locations and in Jade City, give a number. Red Kestrel, you tell him the situation in these three places."

After discussing with the drones, Sai Nuojie provided a plan.

"Install 40 caras in Jade City, which can cover the main dam and residential areas."

"60 caras are needed in Sand Port City, 10 caras in the port, and only 20 in public areas in each town are enough."

"A total of 130 caras can complete basic surveillance, this level of monitoring is easy for ."

He said, "Caras consu energy, charging once can last a month, with a monthly consumption of about 1 Energy Pack. The monthly device consumption is 13 Light Seeds, which adds up to 156 Light Seeds a year, an unavoidable expense."

Zhou Yi nodded, "No issue on the side of Jade City. Just wait, I'll ask Lord Sand Sea's opinion."

He contacted Lord Sand Sea through Red Kestrel.

Initially, the other party was very welcoming of the idea of installing caras to control cities, but beca a bit troubled upon hearing the price.

"Mr. Zhou, this continuous expenditure adds up to a substantial amount."

"I'll think about it..."

After so thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "Install it in Sand Port City and the port! Leave out the other three towns, save where we can."

The final plan included installing public caras in Jade City, Sand Port City, and Sand Port Harbor.

This is a natural deterrent and warning, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of cris and facilitate the imdiate detection of abnormal situations in the area.

Zhou Yi then brought up another idea, "Sai Nuojie, the company is test-flying a new type of glider. I need you to observe them in real-ti, the data you record will be crucial for us to optimize the aircraft."

"Chairman, what kind of vehicle is that?"

Zhou Yi took him to the top floor of Jade City.

This place has now beco a temporary helipad. Under the guidance of Afeng and Zuoma, a young man wearing wind goggles was inspecting the safety harness, about to begin the test flight.

"Chairman."

"Hello, Chairman!"

"Don't mind us, carry on with your work."

"Yes."

Zhou Yi and Sai Nuojie observed the glider's takeoff and gliding together.

The Program Departnt then shared the latest data.

After discussing with Afeng, Sai Nuojie said, "Chairman, I suggest that the pilot wears a cara during the test flights."

"This way, I can collect their real-ti flight data and record air traffic conditions. Their flying speed, wind impact along the way, and data from the landing and takeoff processes can all be stored in real-ti."

"As long as we can accumulate a large amount of relevant data, we will be able to identify parts that can enhance flight efficiency."

"If these firsthand data are processed through my program, we can identify favorable and unfavorable factors and make adjustnts. Flying is still a mode of transportation, and my capabilities and programs can cover and handle this aspect."

Sai Nuojie's confident agreent put Zhou Yi at ease.

"Good. I'll have caras installed on the test machines to collect data. Data collection, summary, and computation will be your responsibility."

"Rest assured, this is my expertise, I have 20 years of related experience."

Eventually, Zhou Yi assigned Sai Nuojie to the Program Departnt, having 703 assist in transitioning him to a chanical programr.

...

With the involvent of Sai Nuojie, the glider's test flights and further optimizations improved. With professional traffic guidance and data collection, test tis were significantly reduced, making better use of the test data.

Afeng soon ca running with good news.

"Chairman, one problem we've always struggled with was how to plan flight routes. Many places seem to be straight lines, but they aren't the fastest routes. There are winds and hills along the way, and we need to consider obstacle avoidance."

"Sai Nuojie calculated and gave us two optimal routes."

"Route one has the smoothest journey, flying straight over Guangtai Dam toward Big Buddha."

"Route two is the shortest route under the conditions of blockages and would go over the elevated bridge, but there are so mountainous areas along the way, facing periodic strong winds, which requires careful handling."

"Now, with these two stable routes, our test flights have beco much smoother and more efficient. Beginners take the route over the dam, while the experienced seek speed and skills by taking the shortest route."

He also ntioned, "The company now has 11 gliders in flight, often encountering each other. Sai Nuojie has established two flight corridor standards, each with strict altitude controls and designated flight tis to prevent gliders from getting too close, causing interference and danger."

"Sai Nuojie's involvent has had a huge impact on the refinent of the entire glider."

Afeng did not skimp on praise for this new mber.

He also proposed a bold idea: "Chairman, I request expanding the glider's flight routes. The pilots are now very skilled, and everyone wants to fly over the Dead Sea to nearby Shell City and Steel Refining City."

"This would also facilitate gaining more routes, as well as getting used to the intensity of cross-sea flights and the overall process."

Zhou Yi thought for a mont.

We had been training behind closed doors for a while.

It's ti to fly over the Dead Sea and see the results.

We should not hold back due to risks.

"Since you all have the courage, then I'll have Lie Hai accompany you on the test flight."

"Thank you, Chairman!!"

Just when the glider's internal testing was progressing vigorously.

One day, Bone-Man Sun Chonglai suddenly knocked on the door for a visit.

"Chairman!"

Dressed in a shiny red jacket, he said with an excited voice, "The Stone Mushroom Shell of Building No.5 has cracked!"

Zhou Yi imdiately perked up, "Let's go see."
