Chapter 8: Heaven

With a thud, the elevator reached the third floor.

The metal doors opened to both sides, and Andy saw the third floor, which was similar in style to the second floor, a clean space with blue and white as the theme colors, and blocks of modular building materials.

When you reach the third floor, there are large rooms on the left and right, and the room on the left says "Control Room".

And the room on the right says "Meeting Room".

Both rooms are locked, but the partition door has a transparent glass section that allows you to see the scene inside.

Andy glanced at the conference room, which was estimated to be the place where the children used to listen to Diana's stories, and now it has been abandoned for many years, and no one gathers there anymore.

"Please move on."

An electronic male voice is heard.

The two walked down the hallway, and finally arrived at a new isolation door, which clearly read "computer room".

The metal barrier door slowly rose, and the two walked in, and what jumped into their eyes was a grand scene.

The front end of this wide hall is completely sealed by a glass curtain wall, and inside the transparent glass are dense chassis, servers, pipelines, etc.

In the center is an oval-shaped curling-like object with electrocardiogram-like ripples on it.

This looks a bit similar to Odysseus's computer room, but it is easy to judge that the two are not comparable in terms of sophistication.

"Hello resident, I'm ZAX-29, and according to the supervisor's emergency handling rules, you can ask when you arrive here, but I'll only answer some of the questions."

The familiar electronic male voice came from the ECG-like curling-like thing, and it looked like it was the main representative of ZAX-29.

Chrissy saw something like this for the first time and was amazed.

"There's nothing like this in Vault 15, it's a supercomputer, and it's worth a lot."

Andy pondered for a moment before turning to ZAX-29 for a question.

He thought of the conversation he had with the unknown being in the robot facility, and the voices of the two were very similar.

"Are you Thor, the sun god? In other words, ZAX-29 and Thor, the sun god worshiped by the Twin Mother Tribe, are the same existence, and those angels are referring to your robots, right?"

"Yes."

ZAX-29 readily admitted to this.

"Under the execution plan of the custodian, I have the obligation to play the image of the sun god Thor."

"Sure enough."

Andy looked left and right, but found no trace of Diana.

"So your custodian is Lady Diana? Where is she? ”

ZAX-29 did not cooperate this time.

"My custodian is indeed Diana, but I can't reveal her location."

"In other words, she's not here, is she?"

"Yes."

Andy glanced around again, there were rows of operating terminals in front of the huge computer room, but there was nothing else in the place, it was completely prepared for the supercomputer, the entire Vault 29 was cramped and there were no supplies in sight, it was not suitable for human habitation at all.

Then, Diana, who has been communicating with the Twin Mother Tribe for a long time, is remotely controlling Vault 29 and the Twin Tribe, and the holographic projection mentioned earlier that it was the "clone" she left behind.

"Could it be that Diana is in the nursery... It's a pity that the head of the machine won't tell me where it is. ”

He looked at the ZAX-29 and asked the main question.

"So why the hell are you shutting down all the bots and no longer maintaining the Twin Tribe? Why doesn't Diana stop appearing? ”

ZAX-29 was silent for a moment, then replied in the same unchanging male electronic voice.

"The supervisor cut off contact with the facility 403 hours ago, and as mandated by the emergency response plan, I must suspend all activities until the supervisor's contact with the facility is restored."

"Why the interruption?"

"I don't know, but the facility's communication equipment is in good condition based on the results of the self-inspection, so it can only be the supervisor's fault, and I can't find out the details of the problem."

The situation seems to be at an impasse ....

Andy scratched his head, thinking that maybe he could rely on other methods to get the coordinates, such as the ZAX-29's so-called communications facility.

"Where's your communications facility?"

"This facility is located on the outside, and the specific coordinates are."

A screen that had been pitch black lit up to reveal a map marker.

Pip-Boy shook and put the mark on the record.

Chrissy listened boredly, and when she saw Andy busy looking at the map, she took the opportunity to pick up the conversation.

"Why do you have the kind of answer you need? I thought you were going to put on a shelf like the sun god. ”

ZAX-29 replied, "According to the enforcement plan left behind by the overseers, the inhabitants who enter this area have access to information, but only if they remain peaceful. ”

Chrissy asked.

"What if you come in with a foul mouth and want to slaughter the god with a stick?"

In this regard, the countermeasures of the ZAX-29 are very straightforward.

"According to the supervisor's implementation plan, if the hologram she left behind cannot be determined, the memory should be cleaned with CODE technology and then sent back to the Mother Tribe. If the judgment is not passed and there is a certain threat, the security robot is allowed to be activated to carry out violent eviction. ”

Andy finished distinguishing the coordinates and his heart skipped a beat when he heard this familiar word.

CODE technology, also known as Codex technology, is an advanced brainwashing technology developed in the old world, which can tamper with the memory in the human brain at will and even interfere with people's thinking, emotions and personality.

Andy has already enjoyed the weaponization of this technology once, and since he was stunned by the bug robot with a strange light wave in prison, he has always felt that the memories in his head are a mess....

Chrissy noticed something interesting when she heard this.

"ZAX-29, can you tell me if any member of the Twin Tribe has ever entered here other than us, or at least has they not passed the test and been sent back to the tribe with their memories cleansed?"

"There was no active entry."

ZAX-29 replied.

"Lady Diana would periodically select a resident to come in and teach her something about being designated as the shaman of the Mother Twin Tribe."

Andy thought of what Helia had said, but he looked around and felt that it didn't feel like heaven at all.

"So.... When they came in here, was it the same here? Have you been asked to do some camouflage? ”

ZAX-29 then activated something, and the surrounding area gradually became cloudy, soft light and soft music came from the surroundings, even the glass curtain wall of the computer room became opaque, and ZAX-29's curling-like peripheral interactor also emitted a projection, which appeared to be a golden unidentified polymer, which was clearly the appearance of the sun god Thor recorded by the villagers.

Andy looked around dumbfounded, this was indeed enough "heaven".

"A simple little special effect, with the combination of smoke maker, music player, holographic projector three devices to create a scene camouflage."

ZAX-29 spoke softly, and at the moment under camouflage, its words echoed and resonated.

"The setting is codenamed: Paradise."

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
