Chapter 176 Principles, Methods, Conclusions (1/2)
The dirt road leading to the long-term farm.
Yin Fang, who was sitting in the back of the truck and wrapped himself in a fur coat like a rice dumpling, kept chattering along the way.
"This is impossible! The logo of the college? Appearing at a community college in an unknown town? Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Chu Guang said with a faint smile.
"If you are joking, I will let you go alone."
"..."
Yin Fang looked at him speechlessly, not wanting to speak.
But Chu Guang really wanted to chat with him.
There was no way around it. The information in Qingquan City was too limited. He relied almost entirely on hearsay information and his own imagination for what was happening outside.
Chu Guang was also very curious about why things from the academy appeared in an ordinary academy.
According to Yin Fang, it is at least a thousand kilometers from here to the Wandering Swamp, which is far beyond the academy's sphere of influence.
Although Qingquan City is one of the important cities in the southern urban agglomeration of River Valley Province, it was only during the Prosperity Era.
"Actually, I have always been curious about what kind of organization the academy is."
Yin Fang shook his head and said, "If I want to fully explain this issue, I'm afraid it will take me all day and all night to finish it."
"Then you pick the key points and talk about the ones I'm interested in."
Being left speechless by this willful question, Yin Fang opened his mouth and did not come back to his senses until he took a sip of northwest wind.
He said after coughing several times.
"How should I put it, the academy... is actually not as mysterious as you outsiders think. It is like a huge library. In fact, until the end of the Prosperity Era, it was just a loose academic organization."
Chu Guang looked at him with interest and said: "But your behavior is not relaxed at all, nor simple, nor does it look like an academic organization."
"That's for sure. I said it was before the end of the Prosperity Era, and now it's the 211th year of the Wasteland Era."
Two hundred years.
In the history of human civilization, many feudal dynasties failed to exist for such a long time, let alone an academic institution.
Yin Fang squinted his eyes and looked to the southwest before continuing.
"I have only heard a little bit about it. In the early years of the Wasteland Era, the college undertook part of the post-war reconstruction work, which was mainly concentrated in the technical field. This included taking over some experimental facilities, scientific research equipment, and repairing damaged data. and the restoration of lost technology.”
Chu Guang: "It sounds like a very grand project."
Yin Fang sighed faintly and said: "That's right, we haven't finished this work until now. The world is changing too fast. It is said that a long time ago, the influence of the academy spread throughout the entire Central Continent. The academy's inspection team can go to them Anywhere we want to go. But the good times don’t last long. There is no room for people from the academy outside the Wandering Swamp. Everyone looks at us like we are seeing fat sheep.”
Hearing the word fat sheep, Chu Guang unconsciously glanced at this guy's right hand.
Be reasonable.
An arm is worth at least 10,000CR, and it's a friendly price. Chu Guang felt that he really couldn't blame others, even a good person like him would have his own thoughts.
"Speaking of which, what kind of place is the Wandering Swamp?"
Yin Fang answered briefly: "It's a very vast swamp, as big as a province. The weather there is getting out of control every day, and the alien species are going crazy every day... In short, you won't like that place."
"I didn't say I wanted to go, I was just curious." Chu Guang looked forward, patted the roof of the car, and motioned to the driver to find a place to park nearby, "It's right in front, we're here."
After getting out of the car, Chu Guang pulled out the hammer behind him.
The four young players who accompanied him decisively picked up the guy and walked in front, taking on the role of guard.
In a lineup of 2 strength and 2 senses, the two strength players go in front to open the way, and the two perception players follow behind to "light up". Each of the four people holds an LD-47 assault rifle, which has sufficient firepower and makes them feel very safe.
Since the firepower is sufficient, Chu Guang does not need to supplement the firepower. He can hold the hammer and open the shield in time to protect himself and the NPC next to him.
This area of the city is quite deserted.
Due to the blizzard, there were almost no aliens wandering on the streets. After dealing with a few gnawers hiding in the shadows, the group of people successfully arrived at the target area on the map.
It was a community college. It looked quite plain in appearance, and even its area was only slightly larger than the nearby high school.
Standing in front of the laboratory building, Yin Fang looked up and shook his head.
"I don't think the academy would be interested in such an inconsequential goal. You will most likely be in vain."
Upon hearing this, Chu Guang smiled lightly.
"We're already at the door. Is it a waste of time? We'll find out if we go in and take a look."
After saying this, Chu Guang led the players inside.
Seeing that he was about to fall behind, Yin Fang could only bite the bullet and follow him, and stepped into this gloomy experimental building.
There were broken tiles, gravel and rubble all over the ground, as well as newly dropped bullet casings. It looked like a fierce battle broke out here more than an hour ago.
Looking at the crawler with a split head on the ground, Yin Fang clicked his tongue and involuntarily followed a little closer.
In the academy's scientific expedition team, rude things like fighting are usually done by E-class, F-class and even bionics and drones. What D-class personnel need is independent analysis ability and excellent brain.
Even if you need to master some survival skills, survival itself is the main focus.
Such as basic first aid knowledge.
Yin Fang was very doubtful about the combat effectiveness of these people, especially when he saw that the manager was still holding a hammer in his hand, this feeling of unreliability became even stronger.
"Can you give me a gun? I can protect myself."
"You are a VIP, just stay behind me."
"VIP?"
"Tsk, how can I explain it to you?"
While they were chatting, a group of people had already arrived.
Commander Quan Shui, who was wearing heavy armor, stood in front of him and respectfully placed his right fist on his chest in a military salute.
"Dear administrator, when you came, we have successfully cleared the entire first-floor hall of alien species for you."
"Well done." Chu Guang nodded approvingly, looked at him and said, "Lead the way from the front."
"yes!"
After receiving the manager's affirmative look, Quan Shui happily walked ahead and led the way. Chu Guang ordered two players to guard the entrance, while the other two players followed him and Yin Fang to explore into the basement.
The passage here is very narrow.
However, after entering, everything suddenly opened up.
Looking at the ten dormant cabins placed in the basement, Yin Fang suddenly seemed to be petrified and froze on the spot.
After coming back to his senses, he rushed forward without saying a word, got to the nearest sleeping cabin, and stared at it.
"There is no mistake...the style of this training cabin is exactly the same!" Yin Fang muttered in his mouth, groping with his hands on the dusty cabin door, wishing he could throw himself on it.
The young players around looked at each other in confusion, exchanged confused glances, and murmured questions.
"What is this doctor doing?"
"I don't know...maybe it's a special hobby?"
"I understand, the new NPC's hobby is hibernation pods!"
"Boss, you are awesome! I will post on the forum later. Hehe, I wonder if I can be a good person."
Chu Guang: "..."
This kind of boring post will be more sophisticated.
After coughing slightly, Chu Guang looked at Yin Fang who was stunned and asked.
"What exactly?"
"It's exactly the same model as the academy's dormant cabin... Damn it, why does this type of dormant cabin appear in the River Valley Province?"
With an expression of disbelief on his face, Yin Fang finally left the dormant cabin and looked at Chu Guang and said seriously.
"Where's that box? The one with the college logo you mentioned."
Chu Guang took the box from the players who were following him - the mission props in the eyes of the players - and handed it to Yin Fang's hand.
"Here...what the hell is this thing?"
"A black box that stores data!" Yin Fang tapped the surface of the box with his knuckles and gushed with joy, "The outer layer of material can effectively resist neutron rays and electromagnetic pulses generated by nuclear explosions. In addition, In addition, inert gas should be injected into it to protect the graphene circuit board... I guess it is most likely a holographic image or recording, you will know after opening it. "
Saying that, without waiting for Chu Guang's signal, Yin Fang stretched out the knife under his right hand and lightly scratched the surface of the box.
A magical scene happened.
The moment the surface material was scratched, the layer of black paint wrapped around the box dispersed like gravel in the wind, revealing the silver shell underneath.
Yin Fang carefully groped the edge of the box, quickly found an obscure gap, and opened the box.
Commander Quan Shui couldn't help but glance at the battlefield atmosphere team, and whispered: "Why the hell didn't I make any move after waiting for a long time?"
"Isn't this a matter of course?" Before the battlefield atmosphere team could say anything, I, the darkest person on the side, interjected, "How can I still use the mission props for myself?"
The two of them were stunned.
It makes so much sense and is completely impossible to refute.
Just like that, the azure blue light gathered and formed, and a holographic bust appeared out of thin air in the room.
Chu Guang and the players didn't react at all, but Yin Fang, who was standing in the room, stared straight at it, wishing his eyes would fall out of their sockets.
"principle?!"
"Principle?" Looking at Yin Fang who was mumbling something in his mouth, Chu Guang asked in confusion, "What principle?"
"Principles, methods, conclusions...the three doctors who rebuilt the college organization after the war. Their statues stand at the entrance of the college."
Yin Fang swallowed, his eyes full of disbelief, and continued, "The person in front of you is Dr. Principle. The college's laser rifle is named after him. I can be sure that I will not admit it wrong. It is him, and it belongs to him when he was young. It looks like that. But why do his relics appear here? This is not recorded in the history of the academy... I don’t understand.”
Chu Guang: "..."
What a coincidence.
Chu Guang wanted to say that I didn’t understand it either.
But just when he was about to say this, the holographic image standing in mid-air spoke as if he was telling himself.
"We're out of the cabin and feeling good."
"It is the second year of the Wasteland Era. The person who is responsible for meeting us is Captain Zhao Weisheng of the 111th Orbital Airborne Division. As planned, we successfully joined the army. Although we were a little late... Fortunately, they did not give up and waited for us here loyally for two years."
"According to the plan, the next step is that we will go to the northern Great Rift Valley under the escort of the army. It is the energy storage center of the central region. The stored metal hydrogen is enough for us to rebuild the central region twice. At present, the Great Rift Valley is controlled by the 111th Orbital Airborne Division."
"According to the information provided by Captain Zhao, the post-war reconstruction committee has begun to work. What we have to do now is to report there, join others, perform our duties, and start reconstruction."
"The only trouble now is that the fourth company responsible for escorting us unexpectedly accommodated more than a thousand residents who failed to take refuge in time, so that our supplies can The energy is almost exhausted. In contrast, the bad road conditions and weather make us rely on our own legs. "
"More than that, Captain Zhao wants to take the survivors with him. To be honest, they are a burden and will only add variables to the plan. I can't judge whether his kindness is right or not, because if I put myself in his shoes, I would probably make the same decision. "
"No matter what you say, it is certain to start from here. There are a lot of things we need to do, and there is no time to delay. However, what makes me uneasy is that I always feel that things are not going so smoothly... Is the war really over? To be honest, I am confused. "
"My respected mentor once taught me that we must be prepared for any situation, and the situation will not always go as smoothly as we expected. "
The man in the holographic image looked up at the sky, then looked straight ahead, and squeezed out an optimistic smile from his expressionless face.
"Hey, listen, you who picked up this video."
"If you are standing in a prosperous utopia right now, with the fragrance of peace in the air, please send it to the museum for me. This is valuable information. Maybe you can find my name in the exhibition hall. I can be sure that the museum will give you a lot of money. I said this. If they refuse to pay, you can smash this box in front of them, haha."
The man laughed heartily, and a trace of loneliness suddenly appeared on his face.
"But if situation B happens, and we unfortunately live in a miserable world, it proves... that we are likely to fail."
"I'm sorry, both to my mentor and to those who trusted me and gave me this opportunity to go to the future. This is the only thing I can do for you."
"Please take this video and go to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City to find Shelter No. 117. It should be under the Garden Street subway station. I don't know the exact location, so you may have to look for it."
"The manager there is an acquaintance of mine. I once asked him to keep a suitcase for me. There are some very useful things in it. If it is situation B, I probably won't have a chance to pick it up. You can take it away. My old friend will give it to you after seeing this video."
"Remember the password of the box, X1179."
"If you enter it wrong three times in a row, you will have nothing."
