In the small, dark room, the sound of breathing came and went. The windows of the room have been nailed with wooden boards, so that you can't see the outside. Only the faint glow of two emergency lights shone on every anxious face.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and everyone clenched their weapons. Opening the door, one of the militiamen panted and said in a cheerful tone: "All the people of the Brotherhood of Steel are asleep, and I can't wake them up if I go up and beat them." ”

"Action!" After listening to the militia's report, Knight, the commander-in-chief of the operation, immediately gave the order. "Let's go destroy the jammer first, and then teleport the follow-up troops. Everyone be careful of the automatic weapon station, don't go wrong at this time. Members of the Brotherhood who do not resist are sufficiently restrained, and no indiscriminate killings are allowed. ”

After that, Knight looked at Ryan, who had lost his strength, and said, "General Ryan, you can rest here for a while." We'll call you back when we're done. With that, he ordered the two former scouts to stay here as guards.

Seeing that Knight was leaving, Ryan forced his tired body and said, "In addition to trying not to kill people, all their computers and other things must be kept." The Brotherhood of Steel is a collector of knowledge and technology in the wasteland, and once lost, we may never get it back. ”

"Definitely, you don't have to worry about that anymore. With that, he put on the helmet of the power armor and walked out of the room. Ryan, on the other hand, climbed to the second floor and found a cushion to sit cross-legged and meditate, and soon entered a deep meditation state.

I don't know how long it took for Ryan to recover from his meditative state. He felt that his whole body had not only fully recovered. Moreover, in this exhausting situation, meditation allowed him to further his cultivation, and he gained the usual harvest of a month.

After checking his body, Ryan felt that his stomach was burning with hunger. So he stood up and pushed the door open. I'm going to go downstairs and get something to eat.

As soon as I opened the door, the downstairs was filled with music and loud noises, and I rushed straight into the room. After descending the stairs, Ryan found that the door had been pushed open, and it was still evening outside, but there were many people in the street eating and dancing happily around the fire.

What's going on?, Ryan was confused. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Knight approaching with a cup, and after handing Ryan a cup of milk from a two-headed cow, he shouted to the people in the street, "We have won a great victory in this operation without any casualties. That's what Wizard Ryan does. So I suggest that we pay tribute to him here. ”

With that, Knight raised his glass and shouted, "To Wizard Ryan." As the words fell, everyone in the streets raised their cups and chanted in the same way: "To Lane the Wizard." ”

Ryan was also infected by this atmosphere, and he raised the cup like the big guy, and drank the milk from the cup in one gulp. Later, Knight led him to a table, and Ryan realized that Desdemona and several other important people were at the table.

"Thank you so much this time. Desdemona said, and then she began to recount the battle that had taken place that day. It should be said that there was basically no fighting that day. After breaking several remote-controlled machine gun towers, they quickly stormed the airfield and dismantled the jammers. , and then the academy used molecular teleportation equipment to teleport the large army into the airport.

After that, it was easy, and they captured all the Brotherhood members in the base. Then he got a complete base, including giant robots, airships, and a lot of sorted and stored scientific and technological information.

"When we came back, we found you sitting motionless, and you couldn't wake up. We were a little worried at the time, but your robot Curie made sure you were okay, so we waited here and didn't dare to touch you. In the evening, we chose to host our celebration party on the street. I didn't expect you to wake up now. "When all was said and done, Desdemona concluded here.

"Ah, excuse me. Ryan thanked, "Today is our time to celebrate, and we can leave everything else to tomorrow." After that, Ryan and the others feasted on the provisions seized from the Brotherhood of Steel, and celebrated late into the night.

Early the next morning, everyone returned to the academy and began to discuss the future of the Commonwealth. After a morning of final discussions, they set the tone for the future.

The federation will establish a unified governing body, and each organization will change. The college will develop to the ground and be converted into a federal research center. The need to produce the first generation of synths without self-consciousness to supplement the lack of labor. (Ryan's steam robot is still too big to do a lot of small jobs.) ）

The railroad was transformed into a federal intelligence organization and chamber of commerce, responsible for detecting unfavorable actions against the Federation and maintaining the exchange of goods between settlements.

The militia is responsible for clearing the field of enemies who threaten the settlements as an armed group of settlements, and after receiving a portion of the plant-related research in the Academy's Life Research Division, it will continue to deepen its research and promote the cultivation of new plants, slowly improving the environment of the Federation.

And for the spoils of the Brotherhood, the airfield will be opened up as a new settlement. The collected technology was given to the Academy. The Predwin and the Bird Helicopter are the direct forces of the Federation, and the elite organizations of each of the three organizations are drawn from each of the three organizations to use these things, and use their mobility to completely eliminate all forces that cause harm in the federal wasteland.

As for the giant robot Freedom Supreme, this robot cannot fight for a long time without sufficient energy to activate, so it is kept at the airport as an emergency backup.

The captives of the Brotherhood were sent to the newly built educational center on Wonder Island. It is hoped that their extreme racist thinking can be reversed through labor and education.

Three days later, Ryan attended the inauguration of the Confederacy in Diamond City, and subsequently designated Preston as the leader of the Minutemen in his absence.

As he was about to leave for Sanctuary Hill to pack his things, Preston brought Knight and Desdemona to stop Ryan: "We heard you're leaving?"

"yes, I've been here for so long, it's time for me to go home. Seeing the change in the expressions of the two people in front of him, Ryan knew that they were thinking wrong, so he hurriedly added: "Of course, I will still come back from time to time, maybe in the future, when I travel more places, I can find a way to completely restore the Federation." ”

Obviously, Knight learned of Lane's identity from his wife, and said, "Then I wish you a good journey, but remember that the Federation will always welcome you back." ”

"Don't worry, I'll be back, after all, there are so many people and things that are important to me here. With that, he hugged the other three people here, then returned to Sanctuary Villa, packed up some of his things, opened the space door, and returned to the Ten Thousand Worlds Grocery Store.
