Before leaving, Jiang Chen and Sun Xiaorou went to the power room and dormancy center respectively. [Full text]
Just as Xiaorou guessed, someone came to the shelter, installed new fuel rods here, and even lived here for a while. But for some reason, or because he had achieved a certain purpose here, he finally left here.
And this journey lasted several years.
After he left, he turned off the power of the shelter. It was not until Jiang Chen entered the password at the terminal at the door of the director's office that he woke up the sleeping shelter No. 71.
"Immortality, or at least life extension, these technologies are part of the interstellar colonization plan, although they are not necessary. The Church of Dusk once tried to find this place, and they did arrive here. However, they do not know the password to the director's office, so for the What’s inside is helpless.”
"Can't you blow the door open?" Jiang Chen asked.
According to Han Junhua, the director's office of Vault 27 can be opened through violence.
"Unless the design allows it, even if you blow up the entire shelter, you may not be able to blow up this room." Sun Xiaorou sighed and said.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"It's so dark."
Whether it's under this thousand meters or in this shelter.
Sun Xiaorou curled her lips and continued the topic.
"But the church eventually collected some interesting clues outside the shelter. For example, the observer's experiment, and the refusal of the director of the shelter to continue the experiment, which also involved a girl."
"The girl who was crossed off the list in the diary?"
"It's possible." Sun Xiaorou nodded seriously, "After all, she was chosen as the experimenter, so there should be something special about her."
"Observer, little girl...are these the only two clues?"
After searching the entire shelter, Jiang Chen could not find the laboratory mentioned in the diary.
Sun Xiaorou carefully recalled what happened when she was a child, but she had no memory of the word laboratory.
What kind of cruel experiments the observer conducted has been taken to the grave with the abandonment of Vault 71.
Except for the secret of eternal life. The two also found some "interesting" things in the shelter.
An experimental quantum computer, a mostly dismantled soilless cultivation device, and some gadgets that only appear in shelters.
Finding a quantum computer here was a complete surprise, as most abandoned shelters would be visited by scavengers. Electronic components and special materials on quantum computers. Can be used to craft weapon accessories.
This quantum computer has not been discovered by scavengers, it can only be said that it is deeply hidden.
The two then walked around the shelter a few more times, and after confirming that there were no other useful gadgets, they left marks on the things that needed to be moved.
Taking the diary with them, Jiang Chen and Xiaorou got on the elevator back to the surface. After pressing the start switch. He raised his left arm and glanced at the time on Ep.
It was exactly six o'clock.
After arriving on the surface, several personal guards immediately greeted him.
"Marshal, if you don't come out, we are going to rush in to find you." Seeing that Jiang Chen was safe and sound, Li Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is it already so late?" Jiang Chen raised his head.
I saw that the sky was completely dark, and it looked like it was going to rain.
"What are you going to do with this shelter?" Sun Xiaorou asked.
"To control it for the time being, we must at least maintain a checkpoint here... and a cemetery." Jiang Chen said after glancing at the bones on the ground.
With a slightly grateful smile on her thin lips, Sun Xiaorou nodded gently.
"kindness."
Li Wang was ordered to continue guarding here with five personal guards. Jiang Chen got on the infantry vehicle and returned to the military outpost.
Before dark, the YZ-51 on the order will arrive in the area, bringing reinforcements and supplies.
…
Qingshan Gymnasium, this is the imperial capital of the empire.
It is said that at the beginning, the empire was not called the empire, but had a simple name - Qingshan Survivor Settlement. And the people who live here are not good men and women. They occasionally work as mercenaries, and they also do some predatory things behind their backs.
But later several villages west of the Ganjiang River united and called themselves the Federation. He voted to elect a president and took the lead in setting up a radio base station to launch a propaganda campaign against nearby residents. When the people in the Qingshan Survivor Colony saw this, they happened to want to clear their names and immediately changed their names.
Based on the principle of not falling behind the old enemy, the Federation. So they changed their name to the Empire.
With the slogan of rebuilding civilization, the Federation promoted openness and freedom, attracting businessmen and some free people who passed by this place, and gradually developed into a prosperous settlement. However, due to the large flow of people and the loose laws, corruption and crime have become a breeding ground here. And spread to every corner of the federation like a plague.
With a little bit of work, everything can be purchased here at a clearly marked price.
Whether it's the position of the president or the head of a certain congressman.
The Empire, on the other hand, was just the opposite. They started out as predators and had a bandit spirit, so they took the path of centralization from the beginning.
He won over a group of looters, gathered several powerful mercenary groups to "buy shares", and finally recruited a tribe of mutants without scruples. People with unclean hands and feet can become accomplices to share power. Honest people who keep their integrity work hard in the fields. A clear social division of labor simply and roughly builds the framework of the power pyramid.
As for who will be the emperor, it must not be a hereditary system, otherwise the bosses of several looters and mercenary groups will definitely not be satisfied. So who will be responsible
The first leader was a smart man. They dug up the "concession system", a thing from ancient times, from the dust of history.
As long as everyone takes turns being the emperor, anyone can become an emperor.
Federation and Empire.
It's hard to say who is dirtier and who is more civilized.
After all, this is a wasteland, a garbage dump in itself...
"This is the history of the Empire and the Federation." While introducing it to the man beside him, the mercenary carrying a K2000 rifle on his back brought Zhao Dongbao into the city gate.
Zhao Dongbao, a former survivor in the Qingpu area, joined the Fish Bone Base after the Stalker Corps was established. He worked with Jiang Chen and others to eliminate the source of infection a long time ago. But he didn't do as well as his fellow countryman Ma Zhongcheng. That guy had already become the leader of the Stalker Corps, and he was now just the captain of the reconnaissance team.
But it's not his fault. Who made him stand on the wrong team in the first place? Jiang Chen's first survivor community was his, but what did he do? Not only did they reject the proposal to jointly send troops, but they also brought out recoilless rifles and threatened Jiang Chen to leave quickly and not to cause trouble to them...
However, Jiang Chen did not hold him accountable afterwards.
Although he was pointed at by a gun, Zhao Dongbao finally did his best. Without these survivors in Qingpu, the source of X2 bacterial infection could not be eliminated with just a few powered armors at the Fish Bone Base.
If he can succeed in this mission, he might have a chance to be promoted. So he took the initiative to apply to go to Hongcheng and took the reconnaissance team aboard the supply airship.
After entering the city gate, he stood at the entrance of the gymnasium.
The mercenary signaled him with his eyes, and the guard holding an earthen rifle also looked at him.
Zhao Dongbao came back to his senses, and immediately took out four pieces of rice-sized crystals from his pocket with a smile, stuffed them into the guard's hands, and then pointed at the mercenary next to him.
"Together."
Without saying anything, the guard threw Yajing onto the detector, and the number stopped at 4.
Looking at the beating numbers on the sub-crystal detector, Zhao Dongbao couldn't help but feel a trace of nostalgia on his face.
The Sixth Block has not used this thing for a long time, and there is no trace of this thing in the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou provinces. People use NAC credits to buy things, and Yajing has become a pure commodity.
Therefore, many soldiers are unwilling to be sent here. Compared with the "developed" Wanghai City, this place is like a remote mountainous area.
Still without any words, the guard waved the muzzle of his gun expressionlessly, and then turned his attention to the survivors behind the two.
The mercenary standing next to him immediately touched Zhao Dongbao's sleeve, indicating that he could pass.
"Don't you need to hand in your weapons when you enter the city?"
"No, it's only used when entering the palace." The mercenary said.
"Imperial palace?" Zhao Dongbao was stunned for a moment.
"Over there." Stepping out of the end of the corridor, the mercenary pointed to the highest point of the stadium stands.
Stepping into the open-air stadium, the scenery suddenly opened up.
There are no green shades in the wide playground, replaced by markets, residences, and even orchards. It is surrounded by "natural" walls, guarding the place like a city wall. On that high stand, the imperial flag flew.
This is the imperial capital.
It is worth noting that the gymnasium in the 22nd century is much larger than that in the 21st century. It is hard to describe how big it is, but it is still the size of a golf course.
Including the underground area, this stadium can accommodate a full 50,000 people.
This is the center of the empire.
"Thank you, man. If you still don't understand anything, you can come to the tavern to find me. I will stay there until I receive a new employment mission." He waved his hand and then disappeared from the mercenary team. street.
According to the agreement, Zhao Dongbao paid 2 points of Yajing's city gate tax for him, and he brought Zhao Dongbao here and gave him a vivid "history lesson" on the way.
It only cost 2 Yajing to buy such valuable information, which was still a good deal for Zhao Dongbao.
Although the mission funds are sufficient, it is better to use the money in key places.
He took out a piece of paper from his arms, finally confirmed the task assigned by Jiang Chen, and walked towards the hotel. He now needs to find a place to stay, sort out the intelligence he has collected, and then use radio to feed it back to the military outpost. (.)
