After nearly completing the two main tasks of "sweeping out the remnants of the Enclave" and "removing the super mutants and rampaging zombies that threaten the safety of the wastelanders", the Brotherhood of Steel in the Special Zone attempted to build a new stronghold using pre-war livelihood technologies .
There are two core technologies in the main application of this stronghold, both of which are related to Poole. One of them is another "Eden creator" that Poole found based on the map clues left by Leeds and others. This time it played the function of the original design, in order to make the polluted land fertile and suitable for planting again. . The remaining items were concrete fabrication techniques and pre-war construction techniques that Poole was responsible for, and the new stronghold was no longer built from junk that had been brought in from elsewhere.
The development of agriculture requires water and land. No matter how powerful the Eden Creator is, it can't work on the hard concrete road. Considering that it can't be too far away from the Pentagon camp and let it lose support, the Brotherhood of Steel decided to set this stronghold close to the water source while retaining a large number of them. The area of land south of Nuke Town.
The construction process was a bit of twists and turns, but with the complete pre-war technical data as the basis and the assistance of the technicians of the Brotherhood of Steel with extraordinary skills, the basic skeleton of this stronghold was quickly formed. According to Leeds, these are "ugly to death" matchbox-like shabby houses, but in the eyes of the wasteland residents, these are brand new houses without the smell of war!
This new stronghold is different from the usual "warrior's frontline supply station", but an attempt to "absorb wasteland vagabonds and open a new route for the Brotherhood of Steel". For the wastelanders who choose to join the Brotherhood of Steel, their obligation is to obey the management of the Brotherhood of Steel, to farm or breed on the assigned land, and to pay part of the results as taxes. Their right is to be able to live in these Houses, protected by the Brotherhood of Steel, or land or livestock for production—everyone has their own opinion on the ratio of this system to this tax, some people think it's the tyranny of the Brotherhood of Steel, they should They can eat, drink and live for free without taking bottle caps. Some people think that what they need is freedom, and they don’t need a manager on their head. Some people think that it is possible to have such a strong backstage. It's worth handing in some bottle caps. Survival is the most important thing... Anyway, the Brotherhood of Steel doesn't force it.
Don't expect much smoothness in the early days of the wastelanders, the average quality of the wastelanders is very guaranteed from a negative point of view, but as the knights in power armor maintain order time and time again, they finally learn to be quiet. It took a long time for them to identify with this stronghold. The improved land of the "Creator of Eden" combined with the seeds of pre-war plants it contained, allowing the fields outside the stronghold to grow crops—wheat, corn, potatoes, etc. Tomatoes, apple trees (saplings), etc. Of course, most of the first harvest was kept as seeds for expanding the farm, but Poole still decided to share a small part with the citizens... Maybe that only solved the food and clothing of one meal, but please don't underestimate the "fresh ingredients". "The impact of a meal on the wastelanders who were accustomed to the flesh and blood of the food and mutant creatures two hundred years ago, they saw the "future" in this stronghold!
Since then, the atmosphere of the stronghold has changed and development has accelerated. In terms of agriculture, the Brotherhood of Steel no longer needs to supervise the farming of the wastelanders. The most important problem to solve now is "how to make more land fertile". No matter how magical the role of the Eden Creator is, it is ultimately "consumable". In terms of breeding industry, unfortunately, there are no animal embryos in the Garden of Eden Creator, so only three relatively docile mutant creatures, such as two-headed cows, bighorn sheep and mutant elk, can be cultivated; in terms of basic buildings, Poole Press With the appearance of the "city" seen from the TV in the temporary villa in Leeds, the stronghold was gradually improved, with smooth streets, water pipes, excrement pipes, functional building divisions, and even in the end, there were people who criticized the fraternity. "What's the point?" to plant trees on the roadside.
This new stronghold has evolved from a "Brotherhood of Steel stronghold" to a "Brotherhood of Steel city" step by step. In the end, even the most stubborn old-fashioned faction who was only suppressed by Elder Ryan shouted "By How can wastelanders live in such a beautiful city, and we veterans can only hide in the Pentagon camp against broken stones and rusted iron?!", and then moved all equipment, supplies, and everything to "Brother City" , the Pentagon camp has instead become a "Washington, D.C. supply base."
...well, they may still be obsessed with the technology of war, new power armor, plasma weapons, bird helicopters from the Enclave, but in the eyes of the Brotherhood of Steel elsewhere, they're already deviant .
…
"Wow, pregnant women don't have to come out on purpose~~" Under the introduction of Poole, the tour guide, Liz and others, who finally knew the development history of "Brother City", just walked into a pre-war building guarded by knights, and they faced I saw a blond woman walking up with a big belly.
"Hmph, this little thing can't beat the head of Ryan's Glory Corps!" It's naturally Sarah Ryan who has a big belly. A woman who can go to the battlefield, even if she is about to become someone else's mother, she is still a woman.
"Uh, Poole, are you sure you don't need to care about your daughter or son?" Leon smiled wryly.
"Haha... It's always been like this... It's better to say that it's the limit to let her not wear power armor..." The child's father expressed helplessness.
"Pool, I said it was a few months ago to wear power armor... Even I wouldn't be so irresponsible." Sarah said blankly.
"Ahahaha~~" Although there were two charming 10 partners vying for favorability, but one brought his own wife and the other ran around in the wasteland for good equipment, the good youth of Poole finally won the beauty. And now, he is about to upgrade from husband to father.
"Haha, don't worry, Poole, I will make Sarah never have the opportunity to wear power armor from now on..." Elder Ryan also walked out with a group of guards... He was originally "old and strong" now he looks more It's like "it's about to die", well, after all, it's such an age.
"Elder!"
"I should call my father at this time... huh, the new elders can't always be on the front lines."
"..." Sarah actually thinks Poole is more suitable to be an elder, but... To convince the diehards of the Brotherhood of Steel, only she, the biological daughter of Elder Ryan, can do it.
"Sorry for letting you hear the annoying family quarrel..." Elder Ryan stretched out his hand, "Long time no see, friend from another world."
"Long time no see, elder." Although he didn't admire the old man like the Brotherhood of Steel, he didn't have anything that Liz hated, so he replied very politely, "Although we plan to go to the west coast to go around and cross I also selected a time when you would have similar actions through 'prayer', but let's put that aside in advance~"
"—It's okay to disturb you here for a few days, right~~?"
"Haha, of course~~"
