Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Academy and the Brotherhood of Steel
[Synth], a product of the "Perfect Machine" program launched by the Academy in 2228, what is perfect in the eyes of a group of scientific maniacs? That is the human beings themselves, so they began an ambitious plan to create humans, perhaps because they felt that cloning humans was too low, and by understanding human beings themselves, the people created little by little can be regarded as creations.
The first generation of synthetics is a small number of artificial organs and mechanical parts stacked into something similar to humans, the overall feeling is that they are robots, to the second generation, the newly added muscle tissue and incomplete skin structure make them closer to humans, of course, because most of the brain tissue is still a machine, so it is still regarded as robots, until the third generation of synthetics appeared, except for the part of the hippocampus that controls the memory of the brain as a mechanical structure, they are already considered flesh and blood creatures, when they integrate into the wasteland life, No one can tell how different they are from real humans.
If you want to say that synths are powerful, no, in terms of physical strength, they are not much different from ordinary people who simulate human muscles, their biggest advantage is to replace the inhabitants of the wasteland, coupled with the memory of human input, even people who are together in daily life are difficult to distinguish, and no one knows which person around them has been replaced by a synthetic person unconsciously.
Somewhat similar to the Enclave, the Academy, an organization composed entirely of scientists, believes that post-war humans are somewhat affected by radiation and are no longer pure humans, and that the pre-war frozen humans are the source of pure genes in their eyes, and the protagonist Knight's son was taken away because of this.
However, unlike the Enclave's extreme way of wanting to eliminate all unorthodox humans, the Academy adopts the method of replacing some important people in the wasteland civilization and spreading speech, so as to achieve the goal of controlling, splitting, and cutting off the wasteland civilization, and finally being absorbed under the pre-war civilization of the academy and becoming a subsidiary civilization of the academy civilization. In terms of nature, the Academy, like the Enclave, belongs to the intensification of hatred between civilizations, and in terms of means, the Academy is much gentler than the Enclave.
But to be honest, the concept of the academy is too idealistic, a group of scientists do not realize the importance of sociology, they still regard the third generation of synthetics who can be counted as life as a tool to use at will, and these individuals with the ability to think independently, learn and create are oppressed, and it is normal for them to have a sense of rebound, so once it gets out of control, the efforts of the academy will be in vain.
As a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, Danse was disgusted by the Academy's misuse of technology, and he didn't hesitate at all, and the laser rifle in his hand continued to emit red beams, shooting the first and second generation synths into tatters.
Seeing Dans so fanatically exterminating synths, Zhang Lin really wanted to say, you are killing your own kind! But are the third generation and the first and second generations the same?
Yes, Dans is also a synth, a third-generation synth whose memory has been tampered with, so he doesn't know his identity, but has always regarded false memories as his past experience, of course, this kind of truth Zhang Lin can't really tell, otherwise the angry Dans will definitely shoot him.
"Bang ......"
Although the laser rifle is quite powerful, but the speed of eliminating synths is not as fast as Zhang Lin and Alice, Zhang Lin, who is light and lucky, is sensitive to avoid the synthesis' aim, and at the same time holds a 10mm pistol and keeps hitting the synth's head accurately.
Thanks to the Academy's purpose of creating synths with the intention of mimicking humans, their brains are also their weaknesses.
When the bullet passed through the eye socket of the synthesizer and destroyed the mechanical structure of their brain, there was no blood splash, only the spark of broken electronic components, and the synthesizer fell to the ground one by one under Zhang Lin's point shot.
Because the place is narrow, if the little Lori uses a gun, she may hurt her own people, so at this time, she turned on the wasteland sword mastery mode, and took the sawtooth sword that I don't know if it really has a damage bonus to the robot and harvested it, as for whether the first and second generation synthetics are considered robots, anyway, being cut by little Lori is the result of a sword splitting the corpse.
"Who the hell are you!?" Even with a laser gun that he could shoot, Danse couldn't hit the gun, Zhang Lin's marksmanship was unbelievable, and what surprised him even more was Alice's melee efficiency, even higher than that of a firearm, and he almost wondered if these two people were some new black technology from the academy.
"Luck, luck." Zhang Lin waved the pistol in his hand and smiled, this is the truth, without the bonus of luck, his hit rate will be reduced by at least half, anyway, Dans's completely disbelieving eyes were ignored by him.
"Woo, go down~" The synths in the room were cleared, and Little Lori slid down the handrail of the stairs with a soft snort.
"Boom!"
A violent roar sounded downstairs, and the walls felt as if they were about to be cracked.
"I said it! Don't play with grenades indoors! Zhang Lin shouted and jumped directly from the broken floor, and the whirlwind under his feet made him fall to the ground as if nothing was there.
"Bang Bang ......" A large number of synths attracted by the roar of grenades continued to be crushed by two people with unconventional combat power.
"This ...... Are all monsters coming out of the shelter? "As a paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel, Dans suddenly felt that this power armor was not an ornament, whether he was too weak or the two of them were too fierce, could it be suggested that the Brotherhood recruit people from those opened shelters in the future?
Leaving the unrealistic thoughts in his mind behind, Dans clenched his weapon and followed, how could he coax it, the Brotherhood was invincible!
Little Lori is killing in front, Zhang Lin simply sits idle to collect rags, basically every synth can collect a lot of batteries that can be used for energy weapons such as laser rifles, don't take this opportunity to pick up a little more, how to meet the needs of little Lori to use a laser gun as a toy.
"Alice, slow down!"
After all, Zhang Lin's speed of picking up garbage is not as fast as Xiao Loli's speed of mowing the grass all the way......
※※※
The purpose of the Brotherhood is to collect and retain technology, they believe that technology is a double-edged sword, and high-end technology brings more disasters to mankind, so in order to prevent technology from falling into the hands of the "bad guys" in their eyes, they collect technology everywhere in the wasteland to arm themselves to maintain what they believe is "justice", but in the end, the quality of an organization is the same as the technology in their eyes, they are a good organization in the hands of good leaders, and they are bad organizations in the hands of bad leaders, which is also a double-edged sword, It's all about who uses it.
