Chapter 620 If It Were You, You Would Definitely Use This Inheritance Properly (1/2)

The audience of the "PVP Arena" is not just Chu Guang, Xia Yan and the experts from Jushi Military Industry, but also many "irrelevant people".

In addition to the observation area where various professional testing equipment is placed, there is also an open "audience seat" outside the military blockade area for other players and technicians who study here to visit and get new design inspiration.

The picture has a half-minute delay, and the broadcast will be cut off in a few cases, but in most cases it is watched at will.

Anyway, these equipment will eventually be sold to players for use, and it doesn't really matter whether it is kept confidential or not. It is better to take it out clearly and let these experts observe it.

If you have good ideas, you don't have to hold them back, you can say anything.

Players and cloud players do this on the forum every day, from exchanging nest swing skills to exchanging corps confrontation tactics, covering almost all aspects of the daily life of the alliance.

Camp 101 is currently the largest institution of higher learning in the alliance, and the experts here have mastered technologies that are out of reach for players on Earth.

They should naturally discuss and exchange more, study how to improve the productivity and production methods of the alliance, and explore how to make the alliance stronger.

Of course -

In addition to serious technical discussions, there are inevitably some not-so-serious ones.

"Fuck! I'm responsible for dying first and I really died first!"

"The outlaws actually won!"

"The pigeon missiles have appeared, this is too outrageous!"

"+1, this balance is unreasonable, it would be much more reasonable if it was replaced with RPG or Panzerfaust."

"Haha! You know nothing! Is there such a thing as balance on the real battlefield? Be willing to accept the loss, hurry up!"

"RNM! Return the money!"

A group of newbies who bet on the wrong place cursed, but a few lucky ones were happy with a dozen silver coins and popcorn.

At this moment, neither the outlaws nor I'm responsible for dying first knew that they were bet by a bunch of guys who were bored.

The loss was not big.

Otherwise, they would definitely get a yellow card from the dog planner.

In the corner of the viewing area. Looking at the screen, Alyssa, whose heart was pounding, finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiaoyu, who was sitting beside her, with concern.

"Are they... using real stuff?"

Since the transition of the Boulder City Crisis Office to the new authorities, she resigned from all positions, including the head of asset liquidation, and followed Xiaoyu and Pai to Camp 101 for further studies, learning economics and management that she was interested in.

Out of gratitude for her work some time ago, the new Boulder City authorities borne her tuition and living expenses.

In fact, she was not the only beneficiary of this policy, and she herself did not want to be treated specially.

Later, under Pai's persistent lobbying, the city lord Lovett, on behalf of the workers' union, consulted Chu Guang's opinion, and after obtaining the support of the alliance, took out 20 million silver coins from the local fiscal budget of the city hall to establish an education fund to help young people in the settlement who were of higher education age and had received basic education to go to Camp 101 to learn more advanced knowledge.

Currently, there are nearly 300 young people from Boulder City studying in Camp 101. Among them are apprentices who used to be engineers in Boulder Military Industry, assistants to prosthetic doctors in black clinics, child workers in canning factories or textile factories, and even children of inner city residents.

The Workers' Union has fulfilled its original promise, at least treating everyone equally in education, rather than replacing the old nobles as new nobles.

Today is the actual machine test of "DLZJ-1". The visiting area of ​​the weapons testing center provides unlimited free coffee and tea, and only melon seeds, biscuits and desserts are charged.

Many engineers and researchers in Camp 101 are very interested in this new equipment. In addition, this is Sister Xia's masterpiece, so Xiaoyu and Pai dragged Alyssa, who had just come here to study, to join in the fun.

However, perhaps because she has lived in a greenhouse carefully created by her father since she was a child, Alyssa was not as calm as Xiaoyu who grew up in the wasteland when she saw the crossfire of gunfire, and her two small fists were tightly clenched.

"Yeah!" Xiaoyu nodded vigorously and looked at Alyssa, who was full of worry. "Wouldn't it be meaningless to use a fake test?" There was indeed nothing wrong with that. However, Alyssa always felt that something was not right and whispered worriedly. "But...what if someone gets hurt?" Xiaoyu tilted her head. "The residents of Shelter 404 will not get hurt." "No harm..." Alyssa looked at her blankly and said incomprehensibly, "How is this possible?" Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose. "It's true, Xiaoyu never lies." As for why they would not get hurt, she didn't know, but she had seen with her own eyes that people who had been lying in coffins stood in front of her alive and well a few days later. By the way, it's not just ordinary residents, but also lizards, bears, cats and pigmen. The residents of Shelter 404 are immortal. Although this is an urban legend in the Alliance, she knows very well that it is true. Pai, who was standing next to Xiaoyu, had a subtle expression. "Well... I understand a little bit. The idea of ​​immortality is actually not accurate. People will die if they are killed, but in terms of the result, they are indeed immortal."

Alyssa looked at the two people blankly, not understanding what they were talking about at all, but looking at the two powered armors on the holographic screen, she couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration in her eyes.

In order to allow Alliance soldiers to use more reliable equipment and to improve the survival rate of others, they did not hesitate to risk their lives and use their lives to test those dangerous weapons.

What a respectable group of people!

"...It would be nice if there was a safer way."

Looking at Alyssa who was overly worried, Xiaoyu thought for a moment and then said.

"There is no such thing as the best of both worlds, and Xiaoyu feels that rather than preventing them from making a well-considered decision out of kindness, it is better to respect their choice with respect."

"Brother Chu said that everyone, including himself, becomes a resident of Vault 404 after they understand their rights and obligations. If one day you are tired or regret it, go back to hibernate underground and wait for the new world. It’s okay to come over.”

Alyssa stared blankly at the girl of similar age.

After a while, she whispered a question from her lips.

"Mr. Manager, too..."

If you feel tired, you can always go back and take a long nap.

Waiting for the new world when you open your eyes again...

"Yeah!" Xiaoyu nodded and puffed up his chest proudly, "Xiaoyu remembers every word that Brother Chu said!"

Pai, who was sitting aside, sighed, dragged his cheeks with his hands and muttered unhappily.

"I testify...this guy has almost become that guy's repeater."

It's not that she can't understand Xiaoyu's respect for Chu Guang. That feeling is probably similar to her respect for Dr. Fa.

People will inevitably have feelings of dependence on those who have saved them. It is precisely because of this feeling that the residents of Camp 101 call the residents of Vault 101 pioneers.

But she won't talk about what Dr. Method said all day long.

Looking away from Xiaoyu's happy face, Alyssa held the teacup on the table with both hands and looked at herself reflected in the water, her heart suddenly tightened slightly for no reason.

She thought about the letters she had received recently from home.

I heard from everyone in the workers' union that Lovett's wife was pregnant again recently, and the bearded carpenter was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear all day long, and he showed off this fact to everyone he met.

Captain Joey asked her about her current situation with concern, especially in terms of life, including whether she was used to it, whether Xizhou City was safe, etc.

Although he didn't say it explicitly in the letter, it could be seen between the lines that he also wanted to send his children to Camp 101 to study, but he still had some concerns about the wasteland beyond the giant wall.

Brother Wolfit also wrote a letter to her, and finally stopped talking about family and honor, and slowly returned the focus of his life to his family.

From the letter from her former old housekeeper, she learned that since she resigned from her position, Wolfit had honestly found a job as an accountant and had started a new life.

As for her father, Malvern, he currently works at the Boulder City Public Library, responsible for organizing the history of Boulder City over the past two centuries.

Her mother, except for occasionally crying silently while chanting Ji Xiu's name, had basically moved on from that incident.

Whether it is the residents of Dawn City or Boulder City, most of them have lived their ideal life.

Even if it is not the ideal life, most of them get a new beginning and say a complete farewell to the old era.

Including herself.

But only that person.

It seems like it never stops...

…

"I'm surprised."

In the virtual world constructed by Shelter 101, a cafe with a simple facade and decoration is located in the corner of a bustling street.

Looking at Chu Guang who opened the door and walked in, Dr. Fangfa, who was sitting on the seat next to the window, put down the newspaper in his hand and let out a soft sigh.

Sitting opposite him, Chu Guang said jokingly.

"What's the surprise?"

"Of course it's the changes outside," Fang Fang smiled faintly and continued, "The seeds I planted out of interest at the beginning, unexpectedly sprouted in your hands."

Although Camp 101 does not exist as a separate settlement, but is a municipality with special strategic significance similar to Bicester Town, the changes in this "de facto settlement" over this period of time are remarkable. It is no less than the five settlements of the Alliance.

Up to now, there are nearly 3,000 technicians and quasi-technicians studying in Camp 101 as full-time and part-time students, assisting scholars and experts in Camp 101 to engage in science, engineering, sociology and other fields. Research.

This is no longer the scientific research station hiding in the sewers.

With the support of a series of resources such as materials, manpower, and security provided by the Alliance, Camp 101 quickly transformed the knowledge they received from Vault 101 into visible results, building new buildings on the surface. Dedicated research facilities.

These include electronic analysis laboratories that recover technical data from damaged carbon-based circuit boards, and satellite tracking stations that carry cauldrons to search for usable data from outer space.

The Alliance scientific expedition team also has a local workstation, and most of the high-tech debris collected in Pioneer City will be sent here for classification.

In addition, many local research facilities also have extensive technical cooperation with factories in Dawn City Industrial Zone. Camp 101 researchers are present in everything from the transformers of the UHV power grid to the armor steel of the No. 1 tank.

Just like the Ministry of Production, the Ministry of Technology, and the Ministry of Defense that had united under the banner of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, everyone was full of energy.

And all this.

All methods are visible.

Chu Guang was quite happy to receive positive comments from his seniors, although he just smiled indifferently.

Thinking that this might be a good opportunity, he moved slightly in his heart and said in a casual tone.

"I discovered the technology of transplanting thinking into the core of AI in the enterprise. The process is as simple as plugging in a USB flash drive to the computer. We used that technology to save a little girl named Zhao Yinyin, who is now in Singularity City. Assist the androids to help the locals live a new life.”

"If you change your mind, you can always come out of here."

Although Chu Guang, who extended the olive branch, didn't really have high expectations, the guy in front of him was still more persistent than he imagined.

There was no trace of heartbeat in those eyes. The guy seemed to have prepared the day when the fusion reactor in Vault 101 was extinguished as the end of his life.

But what surprised Chu Guang a little was that although this guy was unmoved by the olive branch he extended, when he heard the word Singularity City, there was a different emotion on his face.

It was a memory of something that happened long, long ago.

There was a hint of melancholy in that memory.

"Singularity City..."

Chewing the word gently, he suddenly grasped the armrest of the chair and looked at Chu Guang.

"Have you seen a man named Zhao Feiyu there?"

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he remembered where he had heard this name before, and said with a frown.

"That man seems to have died a century ago. I saw him in the memory of a researcher named Yule."

Fa Fang was silent for a long time, and suddenly relaxed his hands holding the armrest, and at the same time relaxed his tense shoulders and the smile on his face.

"Really... I'm sorry for asking a stupid question. Peaceful days go by for too long and it's easy to forget how many years have passed outside."

Chu Guang didn't pay attention, but raised his eyebrows curiously.

"Is he an acquaintance of yours?"

The method was not concealed, he nodded slightly and said in a casual tone.

"We had a chance encounter. He has made great achievements in the research direction of 'Biological Pathway Solutions for Radioactive Substances'. Many people in the academy are interested in his research, including myself, who has invited him to the Great Rift twice. Valley, once in the early years of the Wasteland Era, and once in the years when the post-war Reconstruction Committee was gradually approaching its end."

The academy here should refer to the loose academic institution in the past, not the current organization led by Dr. Conclusion.

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.

"He declined your invitation twice."

Method smiled sheepishly.

"Yes, he prefers to help the survivors there in Singularity City... In fact, I have known about his choice for a long time. It is just out of personal interest. He occasionally does some things that are destined to be fruitless, including inviting you to come. Stay with me here.”

The meaning of the words is obvious, the original invitation is still valid today.

Even if he doesn't have any hope for it.

Looking at those "predicted" eyes, Chu Guang smiled faintly.

"Including the establishment of an 'academy'?"

Method thought for a while and said with a carefree smile.

"I did do some minor work with my senior brothers, including establishing a technology recycling system for the post-war reconstruction committee. However, you may be mistaken. I did not establish the 'Academy'. Strictly speaking, it was left by my dear mentor. legacy.”

Chu Guang always felt that there was something in his words but he didn't think too much about it. After all, it had nothing to do with their discussion today.

What he wanted to know about was the "Torch" and the "Sanctuary."

Only by understanding the enemy can we defeat the enemy better.

All clues to the disaster that is happening in the south today can be traced back to the original place - Vault 117.

That's where the "Torches" set out.

Seeing that the man in front of him never mentioned the purpose of the meeting with him, but only asked him to talk aimlessly, Chu Guang stopped wasting time on greetings and took the initiative to ask his questions.

"What exactly is the mission of Vault 117?"

As if he didn't expect Chu Guang to suddenly mention such a distant matter, Dr. Fang method raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

"Didn't you recycle Severn Willard's manager's diary? Isn't it written on it?"

"What I want to know is what's not written in the administrator's log."

Staring at him intently, Chu Guang continued.

"After leaving the shelter, the group of rebels uploaded their thoughts to the 'Sacred Realm', and with the help of the wastelanders spread the plague in the south, killing them without restraint, and euphemistically called it 'glorious evolution'."

"If a madman appeared, I would think there was something wrong with that person's head, but a group of people are so completely mad, I can only suspect that Vault 117 itself is a lunatic asylum - or it houses a group of madmen, Or it’s systematically creating lunatics.”

Fa Fa looked at Chu Guang in surprise and was stunned for a long time.

His expression seemed to be surprised by what the descendants of Vault 117 did in the wasteland, and also seemed to be surprised by his shocking inference.

but--

This possibility cannot indeed be ruled out.

"Many years ago, someone came to a conclusion similar to yours. He believed that there were actually two versions of the 'Shelter Plan'."

Chu Guang said nothing.

This is indeed what he speculated, and he was thinking about this issue when he was in Jinchuan Province.

Seeing Chu Guang motioning for him to continue speaking, Fa Ming continued speaking slowly.

"Yes, on the one hand, there are shelters with specific numbers, and by executing the established asylum procedures, some people are sent from the bad present to the future. On the other hand, all the shelters act as a united whole and fulfill their obligations to the entire civilization. The obligation to shelter is the original intention of the shelter program.”

"The two obligations do not conflict in most cases. After all, humans are the carriers of civilization. Sending some smart people to the future will indeed help the reconstruction of the wasteland, but what if we take a step back...if future generations leave a little bit?" Some detours, such as starting to eat people in order to survive, and we put powerful knowledge into their hands, then the shelter plan will lose its meaning and even be counterproductive. "

"Indeed." Chu Guang nodded.

This situation is not uncommon in the wasteland, and is even quite common.

And it's not just the wastelanders who take detours. Even the shelter itself has a hard time guaranteeing that it can take a straight path out with its eyes closed.

Both the Torch Church and the Enlightenment have proven this.

He just felt it.

This is a bit too much.

Method picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

"But that person's view is slightly different from what you said today. He believes that there are indeed two 'versions' of the shelter plan, but he does not think that the second version is artificially causing trouble, but just the opposite... … He believed that the 'second version' was a 'correction mechanism' to solve the problems I mentioned earlier."

Chu Guang frowned slightly.

"Correction?"

Method did not answer this question directly, but turned his attention to the flower bed outside the showcase window next to the cement road.

The flower bed is lush with greenery.

Although it is an illusory existence, it is as real as living.

"We sprinkle a handful of seeds on the ground. Theoretically, as long as it rains, one or two seeds will germinate."

"However, we cannot guarantee a good harvest in the autumn. What breaks through the soil after the rain may not be seedlings, but weeds. The seeds we scatter may become fertilizer for them."

"So there may really be a second set of mechanisms in the shelter plan. It is responsible for eradicating the decay and barbarism, recovering the nutrients that should be given to civilization, so that the seeds we sow in the fields can germinate smoothly."

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Fa Fang withdrew his gaze from the window, looked back at Chu Guang who seemed to be stunned, and smiled lightly.

"That person is Dr. Principle. You should have seen that innocent guy."

"I didn't actually believe his speculation before, but I did see something in you and your companions that I haven't seen before."

"Our time is over anyway, maybe you will be different."

To be honest, Chu Guang was stunned.

He came here looking for a solution to a problem, and this guy told him point blank - you are the solution.

But after thinking about it, he resisted the urge to say MMP.

After all, the person sitting in front of him is not just a mess, but is dead in the true sense.

Vault 101 does not shelter any living people, only the souls of those who died a century and a half ago linger here.

This guy was willing to help by opening a crack in the welded coffin board. It would be better to say that he was quite enthusiastic.

But Chu Guang still couldn't help but said something strange and angry.

"Do I have to thank you?"

"That's not necessary."

Seeing the unhappiness in Chu Guang's eyes, Dr. Methods laughed.

At this time, a piece of paper slowly fell from the air and landed as lightly as a feather on the table in front of Chu Guang.

Chu Guang immediately noticed the note and asked subconsciously.

"What's this?"

"The password to Vault 100."

Looking at Chu Guang who picked up the note, Dr. Method said softly.

"Many years ago, the survivors of Camp 101 tried to enter Vault 100 to perform the work of rebuilding Xizhou City for the residents there. Unfortunately, their power was too weak and they were unable to solve the problems that filled the underground passages. The lake and opening the gate sealed by water pressure, and I didn't think they were qualified to complete such a huge project, so I persuaded them to give up that goal and kept the key to the shelter for them. "

"Now the time is ripe. Not only have you repaired the dam in Xizhou Lake, you have also established a new order in the local area."

"I believe that if it were you, you would be able to use this inheritance properly."
