71: Inner Ring
In order to accommodate the growing number of residents, but also to facilitate management, the Brotherhood of Steel on the East Coast opened the "Cathedral" as its headquarters
In just a month, under the sweep of domineering incomparables, tens of thousands of people lived in the renovated Pentagon.
When he used to be a good guy in the wasteland of the Special District, the Brotherhood of Steel led by Owen Lyons didn't imagine what it was like now.
Unfortunately, the problem is that the vast majority of wasteland dwellers are not to be trusted...... Especially when there is no stable supply of food and water.
It has maintained a scale of less than 1,000 people, and has not been able to expand rapidly, and the most important reason is that it is undernourished.
If you can't eat enough, no matter how noble your beliefs are, there are still a few people who are willing to follow you.
Barely supplying it will only cause infighting when someone wants to eat a little more.
Bread like the one now, which tastes a little worse but doesn't radiate at all, and the supply of clean water is open...... The most optimistic about the future has never thought about it.
Although the price is a certain Kenrito-certified master, every day hovers whether to become a draenican or not.
"Boss, more...... Any more will really not be able to support it. Jiajia trembled, as if she had been ** for a few days and nights, and said to Mishan.
"How much more?" Mishan asked, looking down at the bustling Pentagon from mid-air.
"Uh...... Boss, I mean, can I take a holiday? Jiajia said with tears in the corners of her eyes.
When she was in charge of serving food at the beginning, Jia Jia felt that she had found her purpose in life more than anyone else.
They will even take the time to do a mass survey to analyze how to improve the taste of magic bread.
When the residents of Rivet City moved into the cathedral and the population skyrocketed to three or four thousand, Jiajia found herself a little too busy.
As time passed, more and more inhabitants of the wasteland were actively or passively approached to the cathedral by the "Human Revolutionary Union" army in various ways.
Jiajia has completely become a human-shaped bread maker.
On the day when the population reached five figures, Jiajia's daily rest finally broke through the one-hour barrier.
The state that eating, drinking, and sleeping must be solved within an hour makes Jiajia collapse beyond measure.
She finally realized the hardships of a military mage...... As a depot who had never been involved in a battle, she had no experience before.
Jiajia's complaint made Greenhill very unhappy, and in her opinion, being able to do her best for Mishan-sama's wishes was the destiny of being a game character for Mishan-sama.
"Have you found a new source of food?" Mishan, who also felt that it was not a matter to continue, asked Greenhill.
From the current point of view, providing 10,000 people with daily food is already the limit of Jiajia.
Although the supply is reduced and everyone is left in a state of half-satiety, this amount can be doubled again.
However, in that case, Base 1, which is still in a state of panic, is very prone to collapse.
The perennial life in the wasteland has long made the vast majority of the wasteland residents only believe that they can see in front of them, grasp and swallow things that can fill their stomachs.
Any vain promises, portrayals of the future, have no meaning.
It can still be stable now, relying on the magic bread that can be eaten in unlimited quantities, and the work deliberately arranged by Mi Shan, although it is not very meaningful, but at least it can consume the daily excess energy.
The former can make people feel at ease, and the latter can make people not think nonsense...... By the way, it can also exercise the obedience of these people.
Commissar Otom and Owen Leon, who were originally unable to understand Mishan's orders, both expressed their admiration for Mishan after seeing the reality.
Commissar Otom has even begun to see Misr Shan as the true savior of the wasteland.
In this regard, Mi Shan only said that after hundreds of years of living in the wasteland, few people know the precautions for "earthquake relief".
"My lord, the scientists in the inner ring are trying to replicate the aliens' food-making equipment, and if successful, it can greatly relieve the pressure on food." Greenhill spoke:
"But it's a pity that progress is slow so far."
The food made by the alien food making equipment that Greenhill said was an edible gel that Mirin commented on as tasty.
In the tradition of the residents of the Big Foodie Empire, Mishan also tasted it.
The conclusion is that the eating habits are completely different depending on the species, and by the way, Mi Rin is very likely to be an opami. (Mirin: Dad, what are you talking about?) )
In Mishan's opinion, he couldn't tell who was good and who was bad between magic bread and edible gel...... The only advantage of edible gel is that the taste is not so rough.
But fortunately, these alien foods can also be used by humans to fill their stomachs and supplement their nutrients...... If not, Mirin has already been poisoned.
At present, there are only a few crafting equipment that have not been damaged in the fighting, and the production is barely enough to meet the daily needs of the scientists and soldiers in the inner ring.
At least half of the scientists in the inner ring are now trying to replicate these food-making devices with the technology they know.
The remaining half is spent researching alien weapons, technology, and culture...... And, where are they?
Oh? Someone asked: What is the inner ring?
Inner Ring...... It is to have been in contact with aliens and know that aliens may invade at any time.
Led by Colonel Otom, Sarah Lyons, and Owen Lyons, a special department composed of the Brotherhood of Steel and the elite of the Enclave Army who have passed the political censorship.
For now, at least, Y. Shan is reluctant to let the news of aliens spread...... At least until human civilization is rebuilt and has enough confidence, the existence of aliens is top secret.
Those who know this secret are called "inner rings".
Although this is only Mishan's request, everyone has accepted this statement, and the inner ring that knows the truth is just different from the outside world that doesn't know the truth.
Compared with the current "Human Revolutionary Alliance" army, which is generally full of wasteland to collect population resources, the review of the inner ring is very strict.
Only the most elite warriors and the most professional scientists are eligible to be selected, and a series of rigorous mental vetting is required to ensure that they do not lose their fighting spirit because they know of the existence of aliens.
To sum it up in one sentence, those who can join the inner ring are the treasures of human civilization in this world.
They carry out one mission after another for the survival of humanity in the best of environments (energy ships floating stealthily over the Pentagon, and alien motherships staying in space).
Perhaps because the secrets they were exposed to were so terrifying, the members of the inner ring experienced some of the more neurotic reactions.
For example, "What inner ring?" There is no such thing! "What? Who do you listen to? I think there's something wrong with your mind! Go to Commissar Otom! ”
Mi Shan, who felt crooked, was a little speechless, but Mi Shan didn't say anything about it.
Mishan didn't tell these members of the inner ring for the time being, in fact, what they knew was not all secrets.
The existence of bubbles, and the source of the force that once assisted in the boarding battle.
At least until Mishan and the sadistic brother have reached a certain agreement, they don't plan to say it for the time being.
so as not to affect these people's sense of sacred mission to rebuild human civilization and fight against alien invaders.
