Chapter 68: The Truth About the Past
"The authorities found this intolerable, and the formation of a suspicious organization in a hidden place by a group of people with unclear political affiliations has struck a nerve in some people.... So immediately after that, the military police came to the place where the Green Commune was located and tried to arrest everyone, even if they were not a threat at all. This was met with serious resistance from the members of the Green Commune, and at one point a violent quarrel broke out between the two sides, and even armed clashes broke out in the midst of it. Andy touched his chin, he didn't expect that except for a big city like Dog Town, even if he was hiding in the wild, he couldn't live in peace.
"So what happened later? Were all of them captured or killed? Diana shook her head.
"Originally.... Things will develop like the trend you are talking about, and this kind of thing is not uncommon throughout the SA, and the so-called diehards and suspicious people often end up being arrested in special prisons, and the best result is a hard prison life for several years, and most of them may be sent to various scientific research bases to become.... Material. Xian looked disgusted, but did not speak.
Diana gets to the point where the story turns.
However, it just so happened that Derek was planning in the neighborhood at that time.... A shelter is planned. Akisha heard what she was interested in, and quickly pricked up her ears to listen carefully and ask questions.
"Shelter? So that Derek is a Vault-Tech scientist, right? To her surprise, Diana actually gave a negative answer.
"No, Derek Greenway doesn't belong in Vault-Tech, he's never even worked for Vault-Tech. But he was a scientist and a successful business CEO, and there weren't many people like Robert House who could do it all well in the past, but Derek Greenway was one of them. "Akisha was a little incredulous.
"How is that possible? All the Vaults I've visited were built by Vault-Tech, and this old-world national project should be contracted by Vault-Tech, right? Diana stretched out a finger, and two logos appeared on her fingertips, one was a cheerful turnip man, and the other was a unique pattern, which resembled a flattened gear, with three horizontal lines on each side, short at the top and long at the middle, and two concentric circles stacked on top of each other.
"As you said, the vast majority of numbered Vaults in the SA Government's Vault Plan are built by Vault Technologies, with the rare exception of Vault 29."
"The SA Environmental Protection Agency seems to disagree with commercial shelters built by Vault Technology, arguing that even if humanity can survive the devastation of a nuclear war, it will be deprived of a suitable natural environment and become a living underground. As a result, they believe that shelters cannot be built just in the periphery of cities, even if it makes them commercially valuable and makes them sell well. ”
"They hope that the shelter is only a protection, and that humans who leave the shelter can start from scratch in better environmental conditions, so that even if the world is completely destroyed, human civilization will have a chance to return from its original state. This is where the original design concept for Vault 29 and Nursery came from. ”
"Because Vault-Tech showed little interest in building shelters in the wilderness, and the Environmental Protection Agency was skeptical that Vault-Tech would meet their standards after researching Tibbetts prison materials, two post-war preservation projects in the area ended up winning prizes for Derek's Greenway hydroponics instead of Vault-Tech." Diana paused, as if thinking of something, and a moment later activated a facility.
A blue light suddenly launched from the top of the central control tower, and then a fierce blue energy beam suddenly projected from near the top of Andy and the others to a nearby uninhabited place.
With a roar, Andy was surprised to see Harold appear there with a puzzled expression.
"Oh... God, this really hurts me. Harold shook the tree in his head, as if he wasn't very comfortable with the teleportation just now.
"I'm sorry, Harold, I'm sure you'll want to be here at this moment, after all, I'll be working on the renovation of the garden in the near future.... The Quantum Teleportation Device will not harm you, it will only give you some phantom pain in the moment it splits and reassembles you. Andy was amazed at the instantaneous movement of the device, and the strings seemed to be equally shocked.
The cylinder brain made that contemptuous sizzle at the two of them.
"Was this level of technology common before?" Andy felt that the people in the past were simply immortals.
"It's not very common, is it...... The concept of quantum teleportation was first proposed by a few geniuses at MIT, but subsequent development work has not progressed well, whether it is design bottlenecks, material constraints, or safety concerns. All in all, this technology seems to be a rumor to the general public, but for real scientists, it has long been realized. The tank brain looked at Diana with some fascination.
"The equipment here is all top-notch things, and the quantum portal is obviously a mature model, as far as I know, on the West Coast, I'm afraid only the Great Mountain Range has the ability to build this kind of magic machine...."Diana interrupted the cylinder brain.
"If you're done talking, let me introduce you, Harold..... You may have met before, but you certainly don't know that Harold was one of my first children. Harold smiled a little sheepishly.
Andy looked at the old ghoul and didn't understand what Diana meant. Harold began to explain on his own.
"Hello guys... I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, and it looks like you're all the best. As Diana's mother said.... It's a little embarrassing to pronounce this title now, ahem.... As Ms. Diana said, I, Harold, used to be one of the Vault residents of Vault 29. This time everyone was surprised and curious.
"Are you really a Vault dweller? I thought you were bragging before..."
"Why are you here?"
"How did you get like this? Is it related to Vault 29? Harold pressed his hands down and motioned for everyone to be quiet for a moment.
"I'll tell you why when she's done," and the group looked back at Diana.
Harold's parents were two members of the Green Commune, and there were many children in the commune at that time, and Derek devised a shelter project, believing that if humanity had a chance to adapt to the new world after nuclear war, it was necessary to raise a group of primitive people who could survive in the mountains and wilderness without being tainted by modern ideas, even without the use of technology.
So he chose to intervene in the arrest of the Green Commune, dividing the members of the Green Commune into two groups, one for adults and the other for minors..... At that time, I was not the person I am now, so I didn't know about it, and I didn't know where the parents of these children ended up. But what I know for sure is that all the children of the Green Commune members were taken away from their parents and ended up in Vault 29 as part of Derek's unsettling experiment. ”
"When Derek finally revealed the experiment to me, I couldn't accept his cruel arrangement, but he rejected my proposal to change the plan, and I couldn't do anything at the time because he had the highest authority..... Until 2077, when the war really came as some speculations had predicted. Diana slowly recounted the stories until she got to the point.
"After the outbreak of the war, Derek disappeared, I don't know where he went, but it gave me a chance to do it. I took control of a military satellite via remote hacking, and then used it to launch an internal key to seize control of Vault 29 ZAx, and I've been with the kids and their descendants ever since. Andy suddenly realized that the starting point of the Twin Mother Tribe was actually like this.
