Chapter Seventy-Five: Vault 1017

October 24, 2065; This is the first day we have moved into our "new home"------ the Cold War between the Red Alliance, led by Huaxia, and the capitalist camp led by the United States has been going on for a century, because of the intensification of international energy disputes, and the government, fearing the possibility of a full-scale war, has built shelters in many places to avoid nuclear explosions. Considering the importance of the Wahuang plan, we were allowed to enter the shelter in advance and transform it into a large laboratory. Thanks to the concern of the country's leaders, we will do our best to complete this experiment for the benefit of the people.

March 14, 2070; Today is a day to celebrate, Dr. Li Youlin and his assistant successfully completed the preliminary experiments of the sedimentation tray project, and now they can build the cultivation chamber on a large scale and conduct quantitative experiments. I've spoken to the head of science on the phone, and he says that it will take up to three months for the first batch of pods to arrive at the Vault. He praised us for being the heroes of the Huaxia country, and I told him that this is what we should do for the future of the country.

May 3, 2071; There are some difficulties in the follow-up experiments, but it doesn't matter, we will not give up, and the addition of Dr. Fang Lei will definitely help us overcome the difficulties.

December 6, 2073; According to the physiological indexes of the experiment, Dr. Li Youlin suggested that the DNA model should be modified locally to adapt to the level of peptide hormones in the nutrient solution, so as to effectively improve the lifespan of the experimenter.

May 18, 2074; I heard that the US military has successfully landed in the western region and put into service the latest power armor. Thanks to the care of the country's leaders, our family was transferred to the shelter without a hitch. The researchers are finally relieved that they can devote all their energy to the experiment, and we must complete the Wahuang project as soon as possible.

June 26, 2075; I knew it was going to turn out like this, the damn American cub turned the super-soldier reagent into the Panshen virus and put it into battle. It seems that after the failure of the task of opening up the battlefield on the Western Front, they changed their thinking and wanted to use this biological and chemical weapon to disrupt the situation in the country and let us collapse from the inside.

February 5, 2076; I can clearly feel the dissatisfaction of the head of the Ministry of Science, not only because of the stagnation of the Wahuang project, but also because of the Panshen virus that has ravaged the country, the epidemic has broken the unity of the people and seriously threatens national security, and most of the health resources have been sent to the CDC in Jiangyou to develop a targeted vaccine in the shortest possible time.

October 15, 2077; A director of the Ministry of Science ordered us to complete the Wa Huang project within a year or we would be expelled from the shelter. Oh my God, what happened to make them so hysterical, could it be that the Americans have already made up their minds to launch a full-scale attack? It was clear that the people above were disappointed in us, but we had no clue how to improve the survival time of the test subjects, or the problems that arose during the development of mental stabilizers.

May 23, 2078; What's going on out there? What happened? Why do they want us to close the door to prevent nuclear explosions, and not to open it unless notified.

June 1, 2078; God! Is it a nuclear war...... The researchers in the vault were terrified. I have to find a way to stabilize the situation and get everything back to normal. This is a refuge, which was originally a livelihood system established to escape the nuclear disaster and preserve the torch of Chinese civilization.

June 4, 2078; Well, I summoned a meeting of the people in the shelter and told them that the motherland would not be crushed by a nuclear explosion, that we were the most tenacious lion of the East, and that suffering could never make us bow our heads. What we need to do now is to continue the experiments and try to complete the Wa Huang plan, so that when the nuclear winter is over and the country sends a summons, we can teach those Yankees a lesson that they will never forget.

January 21, 2088; I don't think I can wait for Minister Yuan's call, and the doctor said I don't have a few days to live. At yesterday's meeting, I proposed that Fang Minghua replace me as the overseer of the shelter, and they had no opinion...... Before going to see So-jin, I decided to put down my work and enjoy the peaceful life.

This concludes the log file of the first Overseer, followed by the account of the second Overseer.

February 10, 2089; In the first Spring Festival of taking office, everyone had a very happy time.

March 22, 2095; The experiment continued, but slowly, because the young people in the shelter were not as enthusiastic about the concept of the state and the nation as the older generation, and they were used to life in the shelter, and it seemed necessary to strengthen the ideological education of the young people.

May 2, 2102; The maximum survival record of the test subject has reached 1 year, which is not far from the minimum requirement of 2 years for the Ministry of Defense, so it is better to work harder.

December 7, 2120; It's just a little bit, I don't know if my body bones can hold on to that moment.

This concludes the log file of the second Overseer, followed by the account of the third Overseer.

On January 2nd, 2130, today is a memorable day, and we have finally fulfilled the Ministry of Defense's requirements for test subjects. 2 years and 9 months------ which is the average survival time of the subject. The next thing to do is to complete the development of mental stabilizers.

The following entries indicate that the data is corrupted, followed by the account of the fourth Overseer.

On October 24, 2165, 100 years have passed since their ancestors moved into Vault 1017, and the people living in the current shelter are very unfamiliar with the outside world, whether it is the ocean, the grass, or the blue sky, all of them are based on the oral accounts and old photos of their parents. One of the questions I have been thinking about the most since taking over as overseer is, does the state still exist? Is it necessary to continue the Wahuang project?

On October 10, 2175, it worked! It worked! Li Lan adjusted the cerebrospinal fluid circulatory system and hormone level control, and then took a receptor agonist orally, so that the probability of the test subject losing control was reduced to less than 0.1%. After several generations of unremitting efforts and the use of limited resources at hand, it is really not easy to finally complete the task entrusted to us by the state.

October 12, 2175; The inhabitants of the vault have been partying for the past few days, and the beer in the warehouse is half drunk. The elderly, housewives, and children all joined in the celebration.

November 7, 2175; As the data is done and the excitement fades, people start to wonder ------ what to do next? We are all scientific personnel of the state, and the mission of entering this shelter is to complete the Wahuang project, and now we can finally mass-produce super soldiers, but is the country still there? Does anyone else need this technology?

December 1, 2175; The inhabitants of the vault have become idle, and there is not much to be seen in the laboratory. Yesterday, Li Lan and Chu Yunqing quarreled over the next work. The atmosphere in the shelter was bad, everyone seemed to have lost the meaning of existence, and I had to do something.

Below is some corrupted data, followed by an account of the fifth overseer.

March 21, 2178; The previous Overseer committed suicide, and I was elected as the fifth Overseer. Damn, that's a hot potato! The number of people proposing to leave the shelter is increasing, and I must reverse that and find a way to keep the shelter running.

May 1, 2178; I convinced them with the Dawn Plan. The content is simple, the number of shelters built by the country before the war is limited, it is impossible to accommodate too many people, and the number of deaths in the context of a global nuclear war must be astronomical. After 100 years, no matter whether the country exists or not, the bloodline inheritance of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the flow of the torch of Chinese civilization cannot be broken. I told them that the parents of the members of the Vault were the wisest people in the land, unlike the farmers who only knew how to farm, the ignorant peddlers, who had the best genes and the smartest brains, and that the burden of rebuilding their homes and restoring civilization after the war would inevitably be borne by elites like us, but if it was just a few people in the Vault, the number was still too small. Since the most urgent need in the post-nuclear world is scientific elites rather than super soldiers, why don't we change the goal of the experiment and mass-produce scientific researchers with excellent genes? To put it simply, it is to use one's own DNA as a blueprint to clone another self. They agreed, my plan succeeded, and the new goal ignited their passion for life.

July 13, 2180; There is no need to change the physiological index of the human body, and only the need to copy oneself is not a problem at all for the shelter team to complete the Wahuang Project. We managed to create the first replicant ------ another me, and data analysis reports showed that he would live for at least 35 years.

July 30, 2180; We give regular and quantitative doses to replicants the mantade (a neurostimulant drug. can increase the level of intelligence) to speed up the maturation of his mind. Li Lan suggested that the nutrient solution in the cultivation chamber should be injected with a high concentration of Antat preparation to promote the brain development of the experimental subjects, so that they can have a very high level of intelligence as soon as they come out, so as to shorten the cognitive and learning time. I took his advice and began filling every pod with the replicant containing the mantade preparation.

August 4, 2180; He asked me a question------ Who am I? I said you are me. He actually told me that he was him and I was me, and although we looked the same, others looked at us differently, and he wanted to leave the shelter to find his own way, to find someone who looked at him with the eyes of people instead of things. Yes, he's rebelling against me. He's me, and yet he's rebelling against me!

August 21, 2180; I feel more and more that copying myself is a mistake, and so is his existence. I think it's time to convene a meeting of delegates to discuss whether or not to continue with the Dawn Project.

August 22, 2180; I beat him to death...... With the help of Mr. Skillful, he should have regretted giving me so many mantates. I put on his clothes, hid his body, and pretended to be the Overseer of the Vault, and now that the way they looked at me had changed so much, I had to find a way to dispose of his body.

August 24, 2180; Li Lan's son is suspicious of me, but it's okay, I've already changed the program of the robots in the shelter.

August 25, 2180; They began to test me, and it seemed that the matter was doomed. Good thing I've figured it out. The aborigines don't accept me, just get rid of them, the people in the training cabin are my compatriots, we have the same face, the same body, the same personnel structure as them, nothing will change, no one will notice what is happening here------ except myself.

August 26, 2180; The current situation is very bad, Li Wenhao left a back door in the cultivation procedure, if it weren't for him and Li Lan to open the cultivation cabin, the nutrient solution would be injected with a targeted drug, which can cause fatal poison to the central nervous system of replicants. I tried to add a mental stabilizer to eliminate the effect of the targeted drug, but the results were not satisfactory, the replicants left the incubator and attacked each other like wild beasts, and I was shot by Li Lan's assistant as I left the lab, and I bled a lot. Hopefully, those robots will clear out the infirmary as soon as possible.

This concludes the account of the fourth overseer.

From the account of the first overseer to the account of the fourth overseer, Tang Yan had a rough idea of what was going on in Vault 1017.

He thought the chambers in the lab hall were hibernation chambers, but in fact they were cloning chambers.

What follows is the account of Comrade ------ Jiao, the fifth supervisor.

Compared with the accounts of the above supervisors, the words left by Comrade Jiao are more detailed and formal, which is very consistent with its robot identity.

Tang Yan didn't read a word, and generally understood what happened after the melee.

When Comrade Jiao woke up from his slumber, the war in the refuge also came to an end.

There are no winners.

The natives died at the hands of the robots that had been programmed, and the replicants of the fourth Overseer died from blood loss.

It was in this context that it became the fifth overseer of the Vault.

In fact, Comrade Jiao is a very special robot in Mr. Skill's family, Hongqi Manufacturing first developed a home version of the housekeeper robot Mr. Skillful, and then developed a military version of Mr. Brave on this basis, and then a feminine helper lady. In addition to this, there is also a government procurement model called Mr. Mercy.

Mr. Renci is mostly used in quality inspection, project acceptance, customs quarantine and other departments, and even appears as an assistant to regional leaders, with the basic principle of ensuring the safety of people's lives and lives, replacing manpower to exercise government powers, so as to avoid the occurrence of criminal phenomena such as abuse of power for personal gain and dereliction of duty.

When Vault 1017 was put into operation, a Mr. Mercy was sent in to help the Overseers with their daily chores, but unfortunately the Overseers did not use it for one reason or another.

It wasn't until the war broke out between the duplicants and the Vault natives that it was lucky enough to wake up and perform its duties as a Vault administrator.

The humans of the Vault have all died, and even the natives who escaped the Vault will never return to the Vault in the face of the robot rebellion, so it has become the overseer of the Vault according to the system of succession.

It was based on keeping the Vault system running, and spent nearly 100 years in Vault 1017.

Considering that Comrade Jiao was an assistant robot inherent in Vault 1017, unlike Mr. Skillful Hands bought by Huang Lei, Tang Yan was a little relieved, put away the P-55 heavy electromagnetic pistol, and asked Comrade Jiao a question.

"So...... Did Huang Lei restart the cultivation process of Vault 1017, using those replicants as a source of meat? ”

Comrade Jiao waved his arm and said, "No."
