Chapter 0522: Stay at home, everyone
Chapter 0522
Standing under the big tree in the middle of the village, Kara, a footman looking at his stockpile, couldn't help but rub his eyes.
Just now, these two said that they wanted to buy a generator, and they planned to collect a deposit and take down the deal, who knew that as soon as the deposit was mentioned, these two people did not continue to take a stubble. Carla was still wondering if she would bring a spot next time.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they actually dismantled such a large generator from where and forcibly moved it back.
Qi Feng and Ciri lifted the generator out of the pickup truck and placed it in the parking space on the side of a temporarily empty house.
Sheltered hills: Almost every house has a covered space for residents to park their cars. Now those cars that can't drive anymore...... The useful part was dismantled into steel plates and various parts by the stagger, and the useless part seemed to be ...... There are no useless parts. After the spring is removed, the broken sponge inside can also be taken out and stuffed in the cloth bag as the filling of the mattress, and the final leather surface can also be used to sew clothes or something...... After all, the wasteland is in the last days.
Qi Feng could only shake his head and sigh again, the standard of living in the eastern part of this wasteland ...... It's really a few streets behind the Great West. I just don't know if Preston's diamond city, which they mention at every turn, will be better.
In short, this vacant position is just right for this generator. Although it is windy on three sides, it will not rain directly, and it will be enough to let Si Teji beat a few wooden planks to surround it.
Prestenste, as well as Nora, who had just returned, all came around. Don't look inconspicuous, the volume is not much bigger than a bookcase, but this machine is a serious fusion generator. The power is enough for the whole village to build, and the nuclear fuel does not know when it will run out. The village's electricity problem is completely worrying.
"Uh...... It's ......" Sterge scratched the back of his head: "We also need a fusion core as an ignition device......"
Stergie said, his eyes drifting to Nora's side.
There should only be one nuclear fusion core in the sheltered hills now...... It is mounted on nora's T45 power armor as a driving energy source. Well, in fact, this core was removed from this generator and stuffed into the armor. Belong to the original owner.
However, this is equivalent to asking Nora to give up wearing this power armor, at least, temporarily. Needless to say, what it means to survive in the wasteland, a suit of power armor......
Therefore, Steji was a little embarrassed to make such a request.
Nora didn't care and went directly to the back of the armor to remove the core, took it and handed it to Steji: "This power is not much, can it be used?"
Seeing that Nora was so happy, Steji didn't bother anymore, took it, and said with a smile: "No problem, the armor that drives you consumes a lot of money, and it can be used for at least a few hundred years! Thank you for your generosity!"
Nora shrugged: "Not quite...... You know, I'm used to life in the electric age. If it had been before, the sheltered hill would have been without power for a night, and I would have wanted to go crazy...... I now have a very strong desire to restore the power supply......"
Steji snapped his fingers: "Rest assured, the wires are ready, and tonight, the sheltered hill will be electrified...... Of course, if you want an air conditioner or a water heater, you can only be disappointed...... For the time being, all we can use is electric lights......"
Nora made a helpless expression: "Hmm...... At least it's better than nothing. ”
Preston asked, "And what about your armor?"
Nora laughed, "It's okay, I actually happened to pick up another one on the way." ”
"Found on the way?" Preston's eyes widened in amazement. Nuclear power cores aren't particularly rare, but they're not easy to pick anywhere...... What kind of luck is this?
Nora smiled meaningfully and nodded, apparently it wasn't that simple: "Let's eat first!" I haven't had a serious meal in two days. ”
Sitting in the open space in front of the house, Steji cut down a few dead trees in the village, and made a few chairs and a long table with wood removed from the fence and worn furniture. Everyone can finally come to the table to eat. Murphy's mother and Marcillon found some bricks and stones, with an iron rack and a large deep pot, so that the recipe was no longer just a barbecue option.
The meat of the potatoes and deathclaws was thrown into a pot and stewed into each man's bowl. Qi Feng tasted a piece, which was similar to potato roast beef, but with less salt. Although Boston is close to the sea, it is estimated that no one dares to eat sea salt, and the salt here is stocked more than 200 years ago, so eat a little less.
Cooking water, do not dare to use the river. Radiation levels in surface water continue to be exceeded. Prestown they also have some reserves of canned fresh water. But it won't last many days.
Previously, they had planned to get some parts to build a pump to pump groundwater...... Radiation is much less than surface water. However, now that the village is connected to nuclear power, there is enough energy to foul the law. Stergui has decided to build a furnace for electrically heated distilled water tomorrow. In this way, not only is there a steady supply of fresh water available in the village, but it can even be exchanged for money and goods with merchants. Pure fresh water is a precious resource in this day and age.
Qi Feng swept the food with a universal tool as usual, and determined that the radiation dose was safe before daring to start. Qi Feng flipped through the four fairy swords from the inventory, and Suzhou didn't know that it was a silver hairpin bought by Yangzhou, and used them as chopsticks, a pair of himself, and handed a pair to Xili.
Presdon said to Nora as he ate, "By the way, how was the matter with that settlement before? Well, it's called ...... Ten of Songzhuang's?"
Nora: "...... They were blackmailed by a group of marauders. The bandits demanded that they hand over a large amount of grain, but they could not do so, and the robbers gave them a time limit of a few days, threatening to slaughter the village if they could not hand it over. ”
Qi Feng didn't speak after hearing this, and felt that the folk customs here were really unpretentious and boring...... The robbers went down the mountain to grab food. Like the wasteland west side of the game, the major families of New Reno are making it seem like they are filming the godfather, but it is much more complicated.
Prestown hurriedly asked, "Do they know where the marauders are strong?"
Nora: "In Lexington, occupy that Keweijia assembly plant. Ay...... I think at the beginning, I also helped the factory fight a lawsuit, and the lawyer's fees they gave were ...... Quite generous. I didn't expect to wake up...... Things are not people. ”
The legal elite of the 21st century can't help but fall into their own memories. But Preston's voice interrupted her thoughts, "Do you know how many of them there are?"
"Twenty-six. ”
Prestown frowned, the number was a bit tricky. He wasn't sure that he would be able to gather a few old volunteers in a short period of time, whether it was to rescue and defend Shisongzhuang or directly attack the opponent's stronghold, he was not sure.
"Twenty-six......" Prestown muttered, suddenly realizing the question: "Hey, wait, twenty-six, so accurate?"
"I've searched the Keweijia factory twice inside and out, and there shouldn't be any omissions, that's twenty-six...... Well, there shouldn't have been any escape. ”
Nora confidently confirmed.
Preston looked at her for a long time before saying, "You...... Got rid of them all?"
Nora nodded, "yes." Now Ten Songzhuang has said that they are willing to accept the protection and management of the volunteers. ”
Preston said incredulously, "Twenty-six marauders, how did you do that?"
Not to mention twenty-six bandits with loaded guns, even if you put twenty-six pigs in that factory, one person can't catch them so quickly, right?
Nora waved her hand, "These are rabble. Not at all conscious. I figured out the situation on the periphery, found a high and hidden position, and rested until 3 a.m....... While they were confused, they pulled out the sentinels one by one...... Then the main electric switch was pulled, and it went in the dark, with tactical knives and incendiary bombs...... I didn't fire a few shots, and I ......"
Qi Feng couldn't help but listen: "Wait...... I said, were you really a lawyer?"
"I used to ...... I've heard some tactical lessons from somebody. Nora rolled her eyes and continued, "On the way back, I remembered that there was a military satellite base in the north, so I wanted to go in and see if there was any equipment left...... There were a few marauders over there, but they weren't ...... It was on the generator there that I picked up another fusion core......"
Only Qi Feng and Xili were left on the table, looking as usual.
Prestown suddenly said, "Miss Nora, can you help the Volunteers rebuild?"
Nora was stunned for a moment, and said strangely, "Aren't I already helping?"
Preston shook his head: "I don't mean that...... What I want to say is, are you willing to lead the Volunteers to rebuild?"
Nora pointed at herself with the fork in her hand in surprise, "I, I...... to lead ...... Your Volunteers?"
Preston shook his head again, "Not 'yours' or 'ours'...... Militia...... It is the ...... of the people who belong to the Federation"
Nora asked rhetorically, "Why are you looking for me? Can't you? After all...... You're a veteran of the Volunteers......"
Preston said, "I'm not fit to be a leader. I can lead my brethren across the line of fire and defend my ground in adversity...... But that's not enough. We need people who can bring the Federation together to move forward. I think you are a natural fit to be such a leader. ”
Preston paused for a moment, then said in a more sincere tone: "You saved all of us in Concord, and now you are alone in saving Ten Songs, you are not profitable, you have your own problems to solve, but you still have a helping hand without hesitation...... Your selflessness is like a light that can illuminate and warm others......"
Nora bit her fork and felt a little dizzy.
