Chapter 84: Disclosure of Identity and Purpose
When Zhang Lin called Alice and Emma over and showed Maxson and Deacon and some of the Brotherhood executives abilities and items that were completely out of this world, they also guessed if this was some technology they had never seen before, but even the senior scholars couldn't explain how to create things like fire and frost out of thin air, and how a wooden stick with no electronic devices could keep emitting electricity.
"What is your purpose?" Maxson was still fantasizing about whether the people on his side would have the opportunity to learn these magical abilities, while Deacon bluntly asked Zhang Lin and the others about the purpose.
"Well, to be honest, I originally came to this world for only two purposes, one was to find my companion, which is Emma, and the other thing was to collect as many miniature nuclear reactors as possible, if you don't believe me, you can check this out."
"What!" Di Geng looked at the content displayed by the beep boy on Zhang Lin's left hand, he was no stranger to this thing, but he saw the content completely unfamiliar for the first time, how could he think that the Vault Company would not add a task system to the things it produced, especially Zhang Lin also showed him the special function of initiating side quests independently.
"This ...... It's really hard to accept for a while. Elder Maxson, who had come over to see it out of curiosity, let out a sigh of emotion.
"Since there were only two original purposes, it means that you have other purposes besides that?" Di Geng came back from his surprise and remembered that there was something else in what Zhang Lin had just said.
"Well, it's actually nothing, it's just in the wasteland, I see the academy's technology more pleasantly, I don't want the academy to be destroyed directly, if you really can't believe me, we can leave, of course, you don't have to worry about us joining the academy, after all, compared to the brotherhood, their views on things are more unacceptable."
"You have all kinds of magical abilities, do you still need this kind of technology?"
"What's so strange about this, we have our own ability, technology is external, and there is no conflict, but when we go to the world of higher technology in the future, we may not look down on the things here."
"You mean, you can go to other worlds?"
"Of course, in addition to my hometown, this is the third world I came to, and the novels I took out were all obtained from the previous world, unlike you who are mainly based on technology, that world is a magical world in the era of cold weapons......"
Zhang Lin said this like a fantasy, Elder Maxson turned his head and discussed with his subordinates, although his voice was deliberately low, but Zhang Lin still heard that they were discussing their attitude towards their own side, and whether they could obtain some benefits through Zhang Lin and them, at least so far, Zhang Lin and the others had no ill will towards them at all, and helped the Brotherhood a lot.
"What is your hometown like?" Di Geng now belongs to the Brotherhood of outsiders, and did not participate in the discussion, but came to Zhang Lin's side, he is very curious about Zhang Lin's origin, can shuttle between different worlds, then Zhang Lin's hometown should have a very strong technology and civilization.
"My hometown is also the earth, so it can be said that it is a parallel world, at least before World War II, the trajectory of our two worlds was almost the same......"
Di Geng grew up in the evacuation, and in his childhood class, he also had some understanding of the history of World War II, but he didn't expect Zhang Lin's hometown to be the earth, and the science fiction concept of parallel universes is also here, "Then your technology must have far surpassed us, right?" ”
"No, my hometown is still at the beginning of the 21st century, even more than two hundred years later than yours, as for my ability, it is not brought by technology, I should say that I am a special case." Zhang Lin explained to Di Geng.
"Then your hometown must be very happy, right?"
"Happiness? It depends on how to define it, if you say that you are full of food and clothing, we are better than you more than a star and a half, except for a small number of poor areas, few people will be troubled by food and housing, but most people are busy working and earning money for life, family, and things like buying a car and buying a house all their lives, you have to ask them if they are happy, it is estimated that they will spray you in the face, if I don't have today's adventure, nine times out of ten it will be like that......"
From life to the environment, from scientific level to culture and entertainment, Zhang Lin slowly describes these contents as if he were telling a story.
"Very desirable......" For some of the content Zhang Lin said, Di Geng can still make up these pictures in his brain, after all, those large settlements formed in the Boston Federation now have a certain social prototype, and many waste pickers are desperately picking up garbage just to be able to live in it, but the life of being fed and clothed without fear is a lifelong pursuit that is difficult to achieve for most wasteland residents. And the entertainment life described by Zhang Lin that is richer than the wasteland world because of the different directions of science and technology, he can't make up for it.
You know, the computers on this side of the wasteland can't even get the pixel games of the red and white machine era, and they are not at the same level as the entertainment industry on the other world that relies on computers.
"At the end of the day, life in my hometown is not too far from what it was before the war on your side, and you can imagine what the city will look like when it returns to prosperity." Zhang Lin felt that saying this might make the other party understand more intuitively.
"Well, indeed." The city of Boston, whether in the wasteland world or Zhang Lin's side of the earth, is a very developed city, although it has experienced a nuclear explosion, but the ruins of Boston can still see how prosperous the city people lived in at that time, the abandoned cars on the streets and the subway everywhere, showing how easy it was to travel at that time, as well as those large supermarkets, people can imagine the abundance of materials at that time.
"What about the two of them? Also from Earth from another world like you? ”
"You might be even more unbelievable when you say it, they come from different worlds, and the two of them used to be characters that I created in the game, and for some reason, they became real people, and the reason why I was able to travel to different worlds was also related to them, maybe because I owed them?" Zhang Lin said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Lin's words, Emma snorted lightly, and Alice hugged his thighs, as if to prove that what Zhang Lin said was true, and nodded, "Well, this is the master." ”
"It's unbelievable that virtual characters have become reality." If someone else said this to himself, Di Geng would definitely think that person had taken too much medicine and was not mentally normal, but Zhang Lin felt that there was nothing wrong with him when he said this.
However, Zhang Lin didn't tell them that for him, the entire wasteland world was virtual and became reality.
Zhang Lin didn't know why he suddenly said so much, but after pouring it out, he always felt a lot more relaxed, he was not worried that these people would harm him, unless the Iron Brotherhood group dared to arrest him with the determination to die together.
However, the group of people in the Brotherhood of Steel really didn't want to arrest him for research, and they even stopped the discussion and looked at Zhang Lin expectantly, as if they wanted to hear more interesting content.
