Chapter 37: Transistors
The prayer meeting continued, but Lu Buping's mind was no longer here at all.
From the moment the two entered the living quarters, Diana continued to exaggerate that this prayer meeting would show miracles.
In fact, many of the human inhabitants have voluntarily transformed into ghouls after seeing the miracle, believing that the god Hans is real and will lead the entire Vault to work forever.
But as the video was played, everyone got up and left one after another, and Lu Buping still didn't wait for the miracle to happen.
Nothing but the condition of the surface was found on TV. The videos on TV are clearly skewed, and they try to promote the dangers of the surface world.
In desperation, Lu Buping had no choice but to touch Levy beside him.
Who would have thought that it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, Levy was still staring at the screen with wide eyes, his expression was slightly dull.
"Levy, what's wrong with you." Lu Buping stabbed him.
Sensing movement around him, Levy came back to his senses. Turning his head to look at Lu Buping, his expression changed from sluggishness to surprise.
"Mr. Zhang San, have you seen it! Miracles, miracles! As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Buping's clothes and kept shaking: "I always thought that this god would just be in vain, but I didn't expect it to be true!" ”
Lu Buping is very inexplicable, he is confident that his insight is not weaker than others, why didn't he see the so-called miracles. It's obviously just an LCD monitor raised, and the video played after that, everything looks logical, is it really missing?
Just as Lu Buping was about to question him further, Diana had already come to them and looked at them with a smile.
Lévy was the first to greet him, his face was excited, and he expressed his enthusiasm every time.
Dai Nanna smiled undiminishedly: "Very good, I said it." As long as you have seen the miracles of Hans, you will naturally want to join us. ”
"Of course, of course!" Levy nodded uncontrollably.
"What about you?" Diananna turned her head, her gaze steady as water.
Lu Buping felt that his heart was skipping half a beat.
How should he reply that he didn't see anything? As soon as he said this, he was beaten into a sieve by the guards.
In desperation, Lu Buping was in a hurry, adjusted his expression to the best state, and shouted: "Praise Hans God!" ”
"Oh? That's good, but I thought you'd be calmer. ”
"......" Lu Buping was a little speechless, what is going on with this woman. From the moment we met, I was different from others. It's hard to say whether she's targeting herself or looking up to herself.
Fortunately, Dai Nanna did not continue to interrogate, but said to the two of them: "After the prayer ceremony is completed, it is time to eat, you go to the cafeteria first, I still have something to deal with." ”
After Lu Buping and her separated, they left for the cafeteria. Halfway through, Lu Buping took advantage of the fact that there were fewer people paying attention to them, and pulled Levi into a no-man's corner, wanting to inquire carefully.
"Mr. Zhang San, what are you ......," Levi was visibly at a loss.
"Why, didn't you say before that you wanted to leave this shelter and didn't want to be cannon fodder. Changed your mind again now? Lu Buping said with some amusement.
Levy's expression was a little tangled, and he frowned as if he was making up his mind.
"No, I never thought that there really was a god in this world. Now that we have this opportunity, it's better for us to stay. ”
Lu Buping stared at his eyes tightly, trying to find out something from it: "Levy, I'll ask you a question now, answer me honestly." What are the miracles you see? ”
This is the information is out of sync, Lu Buping wants to break his head and doesn't know what can make people have such a big change.
When Levi heard this, his expression was very surprised, and his eyes widened to confirm whether Lu Buping was joking.
"I didn't tell you a joke, I only saw the video on the monitor the whole time, and I didn't notice your so-called miracles at all." Lu Buping said solemnly.
Levi's eyes when he looked at Lu Buping had completely changed, just like when they were talking in the basement, as if he was looking at a madman.
He pondered for a while, and then said, "That, Mr. Zhang San." I don't know what the monitor you are talking about, but if it refers to something that can clearly show the portrait of a person, isn't it an artifact? Only the gods can create such a huge artifact that can project images, and the prayer meeting itself is a miracle. ”
"What did you say!" A thunderclap flashed in Lu Buping's mind, and he didn't expect this reply anyway.
An ordinary liquid crystal display is revered as an artifact by these people? In Lu Buping's opinion, this is simply ridiculous.
The mystery that I have been looking for for a long time turns out to be in front of my eyes all along, but it doesn't make sense at all.
It can also be seen from the small nuclear reactors and the equipment in the production area that the technology of this world 200 years ago has surpassed that of Lu Buping's original world. According to Levy, the shelter was built before the war, and the facilities here are relatively well preserved.
The residents of the shelter have seen technological products, how can an ordinary LCD monitor be regarded as an "artifact"? It is used to promote the so-called god Hans.
Unless......
What he saw and heard along the way was constantly circulating in his consciousness.
Pip-boy, cassette tape, radio broadcast, registrar's computer, jazz, LCD screen......
Suddenly, an amazing idea appeared in Lu Buping's mind out of thin air.
It's like a balloon that has been inflated to the limit and punctured with a needle.
I figured out the key in an instant.
"Transistor ......," Lu Buping muttered.
"Mr. Zhang San, what did you say?" Lévy clearly didn't hear or even knew what he was talking about.
"Integrated circuits, have you heard of them? Laptop? Digital video cameras? ”
Sure enough, Levy did not react to these terms, and was even a little afraid of Lu Buping's state at this time: "Mr. Zhang San, if there is nothing to do, I will ...... first"
Lu Buping waved his hand to signal Levy to leave first, while he stood where he was, beginning to digest the information he had obtained.
Ever since he came into this world, there has always been a sense of disobedience.
Pip-Boy, a portable technology product. The images presented are all made of lines, and they can only be played on tape.
The communication equipment of the surface people is not a digital product such as a mobile phone, but a radio and radio.
Vault 118 had a lot of pre-war technology, but the computers used by the registrars were clunky and old.
Solitaire, billiards, jazz ...... The entertainment and artistic style of the inhabitants are maintained at the level of the fifties of the 20th century.
The most ordinary liquid crystal display is actually regarded as a masterpiece of the gods.
All this points to the point that a great invention is missing in this world: the transistor.
