After the rainy night, a new building shaped like a cross appeared next to Jade City: Saint George Church. It was connected to the company's public housing with steel beams and joined the alien employees' chat room.
The residents were very curious about this new building.
Building No. 8 in Jade City hastily created an introduction wall outside the church.
It briefly introduced Saint George's resu in alien script and the common language of the East Continent, stating that he was a new official alien employee of the company.
At the end of the text, a call to action strongly requested by Saint George was added.
——Welco everyone to beco a savior and save this world!
The church was open to the public around the clock, and initially, residents flocked to explore it, but they quickly lost interest.
Zhou Yi also went inside to take a look.
Inside Saint George Church, it was very sparse. All four floors contained only a few rows of stone benches, without any murals or exquisite window lattices. The only notable feature was a stone statue in the center of the hall.
This stone statue had a vague form, only showing an upright shape. It had no facial features, no arms, resembling a lump of clay stretched and solidified.
It represented all life in the world.
You had to silently make a vow in front of this statue to create your own savior creed.
However, the residents of Jade City were not very interested in becoming saviors. They mostly visited out of curiosity and left so gifts inside to show their welco to Saint George.
Thus, there were more tables, flowers, portraits, water tanks, and glass items inside the church, adding a touch of human warmth.
Saint George felt very disheartened.
"Chairman, why doesn't anyone want to be a savior?"
Zhou Yi said, "Don't be in a hurry. The Sand Port people only recently escaped poverty. They've only had enough to eat and wear for the past two years. We need to give them so ti."
"It's like a child who has just learned to speak; you can't expect them to perform stand-up cody."
"...What is stand-up cody?"
"Don't worry about it. It just ans taking things slowly."
Saint George was impatient by nature.
Zhou Yi assigned a slow-tempered Working Electric Cat to partner with him, hoping to balance it out.
Saint George's induction was rather uneventful, but on the other hand, the changes at Maria Hospital were the focus of everyone's attention.
The hospital's upgrade to a Light Core Body garnered unprecedented attention from the residents of Jade City. Many people circled around the hospital whenever they had the chance, looking around curiously.
Outside the hospital, a few nurse robots began to appear.
They all wore the sa white nurse uniforms, white gloves, and silver tal masks. Their hair was styled into buns woven from copper wires. Even though they lacked facial features, one could discern the female form.
When soone inquired, they would listen patiently.
Through the Electric Cat Walkie-Talkies on their chests, the nurses responded in gentle female voices.
"The outpatient departnt is in the central first building. You can get a number and see a doctor inside."
"I'm sorry, the research departnt is not open to the public. Please do not approach."
"The inpatient departnt is in the leftmost building. After entering, please ask my colleague. She will confirm your identity and take you to visit the patient."
"I'm sorry, I am working and do not accept dates. Thank you."
"I'm pleased to receive your complint, you are beautiful as well."
"Thank you for the flowers, and thank you for supporting the hospital."
...
Zhou Yi stood outside the hospital, watching.
n and won alike seed to enjoy talking to the silver-masked nurses, clearly having fun.
These nurses were all Maria.
A total of 99.
The bodies of the nurse robots were made of iron and copper and were hollow inside. They had subtle differences in height, weight, and hairstyle, and each had a different number on their uniform.
They were modeled after the investigators from Suzheng City—a look Zhou Yi found pleasing and thus approved.
Maria once said, "Mr. Shareholder, the hospital is greatly lacking nurses. If I serve as a nurse, it can solve this problem."
"I've accumulated years of dical experience, so handling basic guidance and judgnt is no problem. I can also perform tasks like guiding, delivering dicine, and basic examinations."
"So, while absorbing the energy blocks, I was thinking about how to achieve this."
"Duke Baili suggested that I choose an elent that matches the hospital."
"This elent needs to be sufficiently clean and hygienic, easy to disinfect, and not prone to carrying pathogens. He suggested iron or copper."
"In the end, I chose the more plentiful and cheaper iron to complete the Light Core."
"Now I can create many iron containers and fill each with a consciousness. They are connected to , easing the hospital's manpower pressure and allowing dical staff to focus on their tasks. I call this ability 'Iron Man Manufacturing.'"
Zhou Yi felt a bit conflicted.
Maria didn't choose the Light Soot, which greatly matched the Dead Sea, nor did she favor the energy-rich Light Amber. Instead, she chose iron, which provided better compatibility for dical functions.
Because of this, she couldn't directly absorb energy from the Dead Sea and couldn't quickly expand her scale, although entering the Dead Sea was not a problem.
It was the best choice for the hospital.
"Mr. Shareholder, the tal nurses I created can help move things, take patients for tests, and answer questions from patient families."
"Iron is an electrical conductor and has a high compatibility with Electric Cats, allowing the direct transmission of electrical signals. By connecting to the latest 'Electric Cat Walkie-Talkie,' external voice signals can be converted into electrical signals and modulated into human voices."
"I am the first to directly converse with external life forms through voice. Other Building Lives are still at the written communication stage!"
"Now I am leading!"
"Duke Baili is truly brilliant. Good thing I listened to him! He's very reliable on official matters, although his temper is terrible..."
Maria was very pleased with her new changes.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but think, "Since iron is the elent, is the hospital mainly built with iron now?"
"Not entirely."
Maria Hospital explained, "The building body retains its original proportions, still made of sandstone, clay, tal, and glass. It's just that we've broken through the limitations of the original body. If severely damaged, we can now repair it with iron. Entering the Light Core Body stage allows us to continuously expand, similar to Wuhu Elevated Bridge."
The only downside.
Is that an entire LV4 energy block was completely consud.
Maria Hospital had the smallest body, yet it absorbed the most complete and massive energy and consciousnesses.
Zhou Yi curiously asked, "Can you only make iron nurses?"
"There are also iron doctors and iron pharmacists."
Maria said, "But creating them is much more troubleso. Specific consciousnesses need to be sealed within these tal bodies to allow independent operation. It's more complex than it seems, requiring reconnection in both consciousness and material movents."
"The precision requirents for their consciousness and material bodies are higher."
"Nurses only need to be E-level, but pharmacists must be D-level to identify and compare drugs, demanding a high level of consciousness. Doctors need full recognition and operation capability for both drugs and surgery, requiring at least B-level for safety."
"Currently, starting with nurses, I'll gradually attempt to create doctors. Doctors need to directly diagnose and treat patients, so caution is imperative."
"I've already discussed with Minister Da Vinci. He suggested I first create one or two doctors to assist him in surgeries. Starting as assistants, they will help patients with self-surgery. After clinical trials ensure safety and reliability, they can attempt full-fledged surgeries."
Zhou Yi nodded, "It's wise to be cautious with patients' lives."
He now fully understood.
Maria Hospital is evolving to build tireless doctors and nurses from iron. Through continuous accumulation of their experiences and capabilities, it will ultimately beco a continuously expanding, independently operated, ultra-large hospital.
Over ti, as long as it has ti to develop, it alone can support the company's dical foundation.
It's essentially a godsend for logistics.
Maria continued, "Of course, if you give a few more energy blocks, this process will complete faster! You will, won't you?"
Zhou Yi could only respond vaguely, "I'll consider it..."
Now the hospital had grown larger, officially divided into three buildings: the outpatient departnt, the inpatient departnt, and the research departnt. It didn't turn black or beco snow white, instead maintaining its previous nondescript wall color.
99 nurse robots Maria started participating in work, and the happiest person was Da Vinci.
"Chairman, thank you for the substantial investnt in the dical departnt!"
"The qualitative transformation brought by Maria Hospital's upgrade is astonishing. It continuously records each of our surgeries, transmitting this information to each tal nurse and doctor's consciousness."
"As the hospital handles more diagnoses and treatnts, the doctors and nurses it creates will beco increasingly reliable. While pioneering surgeries might be difficult for now, most regular diagnoses and treatnts can gradually be handed over to them in the future."
"This way, our surgery capacity can gradually increase. The more diagnostics and surgeries we perform, the greater Maria's improvents, forming a continuous improvent cycle."
Zhou Yi cautioned, "We can't rely solely on Maria."
"We still need to train doctors and nurses. Our doctors must perform diagnoses and surgeries, staying grounded in practical and frontline dical work. We cannot neglect training our talents for convenience. The Legal Front overly relying on our Electric Cat System is a cautionary tale."
"Understood. Rest assured, the dical departnt will proceed steadily."
Da Vinci shared another piece of good news: "Due to Maria Hospital's upgrade, our existing dical staff have been freed up to further focus on diagnostics and surgery."
"Organ repair surgeries are projected to increase by 70 slots per year, reaching 120. We plan to gradually release these appointnt slots to avoid scheduling congestion."
Zhou Yi responded, "Your departnt has the expertise. Just rember, during rapid growth, it's crucial to solidify the foundation."
"Understood."
...
With the hospital matter resolved, Zhou Yi returned to Jade City and refocused on the artificial limbs.
This ti, he had collected two energy blocks.
One was used by Maria Hospital.
The other was rather special, containing a fragnt of a mud tablet inside.
Zhou Yi went directly to Dong and placed the Shell Sanctuary into the energy block to let them read and see what it was.
About ten minutes later.
He heard Dong's voice in his mind.
"Mr. Zhou, it's confird this is indeed our Record Land. The content inside is incomplete, likely forcibly removed by our kind and stored in the Cloud Elixir for preservation."
"This Record Land only contains Mud Collection Technology."
Zhou Yi felt a bit disappointed.
He had been full of expectations.
The best outco would have been the thod for manufacturing energy blocks. Space technology would have been excellent too, and other world-altering tools would be great.
But.
Mud Collection Technology... just sounded unexciting.
Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Zhou Yi's head.
Wait a minute.
The mud Dong was referring to, wasn't it Light Soot and Light Amber?
He quickly asked, "Is it Light Soot or Light Amber?"
"Mr. Zhou, it's Light Amber."
Dong answered, "The primary material needed for Record Land is Light Amber, and the consumption is vast. We used this technology to source an endless supply of Light Amber, mixing it with the bodies of our kind to create Record Land."
An endless supply of Light Amber.
Zhou Yi's breathing imdiately grew heavy.
It turned out to be Light Amber mining technology!
