Chapter 5 New Goals
Holding the self-charging pistol, Andy couldn't help but sigh at the magic of this thing.
This gun is an energy weapon, and instead of live ammunition, it shoots a red high-temperature laser beam, which is enough to cut off the fragile limbs of the mad ghoul with a single shot, and if it is fired in bursts, the heat will cause the opponent's body to burn to ashes.
All energy weapons are rare commodities, and those who walk the wasteland are based on this knowledge.
As far as Andy knows, the more common energy weapons are laser weapons, such as the energy pistol he is holding in his hand now, and the rarer weapons are plasma weapons, Tesla weapons, etc., which have some characteristics or direct power that laser weapons cannot match.
These weapons are different from live-fire weapons in that they do not need to use the kinetic energy converted from the chemical energy of gunpowder to physically kill the opponent, but use the means of an electrical energy conversion device to convert the electrical energy or plasma stored in a small battery into high-energy energy, and kill and injure the opponent by firing a laser or plasma plasma.
The concentrated burst of the former creates a sieve, while the concentrated burst of the latter may produce a charred skeleton encased in ash or a puddle of green radioactive slime.
Andy was still having a headache somewhere to wholesale the relatively rare fusion battery in the future, but he took a closer look and found that there was no slot for this thing to insert into the battery.....
"Odysseus, this weapon can't be loaded, how should I use it?"
Odysseus instructed the robot to close the empty box and walk away, then replied, "You don't need to reload it." ”
Andy looked up at the screen in surprise.
"Why?"
A diagram of the structure appears on Odysseus' screen, which appears to be the structure of the weapon in Andy's hand.
"This weapon has a built-in miniature nuclear fusion reactor, once you fire and use up all the reserve energy inside the gun, it can automatically create energy refill in a short period of time, this speed is 0.3 seconds for a single shot, it can shoot 10 lasers in a row, and it only takes 3 seconds to fully charge, that is, it is infinite ammunition."
Andy burst out laughing, this is great, and he doesn't have to worry about buying ammunition everywhere in the future.
“nb! I'll use it from now on... Anyway, what are the precautions for using this? ”
The schematic shown on Odysseus' screen zooms in on the miniature reactor part of this gun.
"As you can see, this is a nuclear pistol, so the biggest problem is also with this reactor, and you need to pay attention to maintaining it. If it's in very poor condition or damaged by force majeure, it's likely to cause a small nuclear explosion, and that's the only thing you need to be aware of when using it. ”
Andy couldn't hold it anymore and raised his hand to shoot at the metal floor, and after a buzz, a red, high-temperature laser hit the ground, burning a shallow crater.
Looking around the shallow pit, Andy looked a little disappointed.
"This.... The power is not quite what I imagined, huh? ”
Odysseus' screen reverted to the bearded man's avatar, staring at Andy, as if a little angry.
"The floor of Tibbetts Prison is made of special materials, with delicate electronic wiring and various pipelines underneath, and I don't want this reckless act of yours to happen a second time!"
An eyeball machine flew from somewhere, and a special electronic repairer hung underneath it, and began to mend the shallow crater that Andy had shot out.
Andy pouted and put the charged pistol away.
"Stingy, you're still afraid of such a small injury in such a big prison! Anyway, I'll see where I should go next. ”
Looking down at Pip-Boy, he saw that the nearest uncaptured fugitive seemed to be located in the northeastern part of Tibbetts Prison, almost directly east of Blackfoot Village.
"No. 13079.... What kind of place is this Mesa Verde? Do you know Odysseus? ”
Odysseus watched as the Eyeball Maintainer had completely repaired Andy's destruction before answering Andy.
"Mesa Verde was one of the national parks in the pre-war state of Colorara, a former Aboriginal settlement that was abandoned until 1906, when it was approved as a national park by Congress.
After saying the allusion to the name of the place, Odysseus suddenly muttered for a while.
"One thing I want to tell you, according to the system records, Prisoner 13079 is extraordinary, his body seems to have been heavily modified by some kind of artificial retrovirus that I can't fully analyze, and his muscle level and toughness, endurance, and recovery ability are far beyond the standards of ordinary humans.... He is not affected by the new plague, but can still spread the virus, and needs to be quarantined according to normal virus carrier specifications. My anti-contagion test probably won't work for it, so I can't treat Prisoner 13045 the way I did him, as you need to know in advance. ”
Andy frowned and listened for a long time, stunned that he didn't understand what the machine head was trying to express, probably that it was probably the meaning of the prisoner who was quite bullish, and he didn't understand anything else, he could understand every word, and when it was connected, it was only inexplicable.
Not wanting to look at Odysseus' contemptuous eyes anymore, he wisely chose not to squeak.
"Uh-huh, I heard you, you can rest assured...."
hurriedly said goodbye to Odysseus, he didn't have the heart to wait for Chagas to come out of the observation area, so he simply told him to go back to Blackfoot Village by himself in half a month.... This time he had more important things to do.
Andy thought to himself, I'm a great unsung hero, and the responsibility of saving the world is on my shoulders!
But before he could be happy, the tragic scenes that Crosstown had seen came to his heart, and for a moment made him feel extremely dull.
Sitting on the Atomic Humnit, Andy couldn't help but sigh.
"Will there be an end to this plague?"
Andy turned his head to look at Tibbetts Prison behind him, he couldn't figure out how to completely stop the new plague, for now, he had to help Odysseus complete the procedure first, and at the same time dismiss himself as a fugitive, and what else to do after that could only be said later.... Odysseus, that guy is also one of the most powerful scientific and technological achievements before the war. He thought that since it had been pinned on by the pre-war government, there must be something to be prepared to solve the problem.
Probably.
After pondering for a moment, he rubbed his head.
"Forget it, if you don't understand, let's do it first! I've been letting the pigeon go for so long, I've got to go back and figure it out before I get the next bastard! Walk you! ”
With one foot on the accelerator, the atomic Hummer roared and galloped through the desert.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
