"Do you really think there's nothing wrong with that?" Andy looked at Diana and asked the question he had wanted to ask in the Twin Mother Village for a long time.

"They live in seclusion by the mountains and rivers, and they hardly need to worry about anything or solve any difficult problems, because you have provided them with everything, houses, water, farmland, security... Even the appointments and dismissals and education of positions within the tribe are in your hands, and they seem to be happy all along, but what if one day you are gone? I've seen that before. Diana was silent for a moment.

"It wasn't supposed to happen, I didn't have time to stop Derek, so I started out with a sense of guilt to help the kids.... But, after a long time, I developed feelings for them. I originally wanted to raise most of them until they reached adulthood before releasing them, but then I changed my mind and I was willing to be a permanent asylum, their eternal mother....." Andy thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Don't you think it's a kind of coddling? You turn them into chicks who can't survive without you. Diana nodded in acknowledgment.

"I understood this, so I decided at the beginning that once one of the children had reached the age of enough to start yearning for the outside world, I would have ZAx regularly allow a child who voluntarily left the shelter to go out and explore the outside world freely.... That includes Harold, but he's a special exception, he's a rebellious bad boy. Harold smiled awkwardly, as if there were some other stories back then, but they didn't say much about it.

"But... Soon after, the robots I sent out to scout the wasteland sent back the sensational news that the outside world was now so terrifying and dangerous, not only those ferocious giant beasts that had never existed before the war, but also people... After the nuclear war, human beings underwent a great spiritual degradation due to the collapse of society and order, and they became cruel, ugly, despicable, cruel and inhuman things, and forgot everything after a long period of chaos, and finally turned into groups of primitive people. ”

"I can't allow my kids to go into this cruel hell like that, and I can't allow them to be like those guys....." Diana said, looking up slowly and raising her arms high.

Therefore, I am willing to offer them eternal swaddling, but the bravest of them all, the strongest, the most capable, and the most eager for the outside world, still have the opportunity to see through all falsehoods and get the truth they want. I told ZAx that if one day there was a real adult among my children, he/she would break through the intimidation trap I left behind and go deep into my so-called kingdom of God.... When the time comes, he will take over the decision whether to keep the secret under wrap and keep the village intact, or to make everything public, and I will allow the children to stay or leave as they please. "Andy knows what Diana is talking about, this is the Village of the Twin Mothers

The deep meaning behind those arrangements in the "forbidden area", but alas....

"But after all these years, no child has ever struggled out of your arms, has he?" Diana lowered her head, the expression on her face deep and subtle, not knowing whether to lament her children for being so obedient or for lamenting her children for being so cowardly.

"Yes, from the outbreak of the Great War until now, the only one who dared to return to the Vault to ask for the truth .... It's you, disguised as a member of the village.... You. ”

"And as far as I know, your choice is to let things go on as usual, right?" Andy nodded, at that time he did have the opportunity to tell the people in the village everything, and they did have a chance to disintegrate the village in place because of their long-term discord with the goddess and the discord between the male and female leaders of the tribe, but he knew that it was not a good thing.

The people of Shuangmu Village are too naïve and weak, and if they leave their homes and expose themselves to the outside world, they are afraid that they will be eaten up and wiped clean by the wasteland in an instant.

Diana seemed to be glad about this, and Andy could clearly see that Diana still wanted things to go on like that, even after this dangerous event.

Seeing that Andy had finished asking, Xian hurriedly went up to answer the question.

"You said before that the nursery is the only hope in the world, where did you see that?" Diana turned her head to look at the strings.

"This facility is actually a shelter, but it is probably the only shelter in the world that is designed to be built above the surface, because the SA Environmental Protection Agency wants to maintain an ecological complex in this shelter that can avoid nuclear war, so sunlight, air and water are essential, which is why they chose the site for the nursery after repeated site selection."

"The most important of the nursery, and the only facility of its kind in the world, is the Biological Gene Sample Bank, also known as the Seed Bank, which preserves 2.5 million biological samples collected from all over the world, and it is the world's first super genetic preservation project, and as long as the samples stored in this facility still exist, the world still has the possibility of restoring its original appearance."

"And if that's not enough, the nursery also has a GEcK production line that produced and supplied all the shelters on the west coast of SA, and as long as the plant is fully operational, those GEcKs will be able to improve the environment on a large scale once they are spread." Speaking of which, Diana thought for a moment and adjusted her words.

"I would like to correct that, according to the information I have just received, because of the earthquake, the last working GEcK production line in the factory area is now damaged, and I am even more unfortunate that I have no ability to repair it, which means that the few intact GEcKs left in the nursery will be the last original GEcK in the world." The strings can't help but choke.

"Alas.... Why wouldn't you want to produce more and distribute all the GEcK sooner? Diana shook her head.

"No, even if this earthquake hadn't happened, I wouldn't have given out GEcK, and for a long time, I've seen how depraved the wasteland dwellers out there have become. They were keen on robbery and slave trade, the strong aggressively expanded, and the weak quietly disappeared into the dust. Letting these people use GEcK won't benefit the world, and if they destroy each other's GEcK for the sake of fighting each other, it could create a lot of terrible things. Andy thought of the Blackfoot and other tribes' rampant past, and perhaps from Diana's point of view, these natives were non-recyclables, so she preferred to leave the GEcK factory idle.

The cylinder brain waited for a long time, and at the moment squeezed the strings aside and raised his own questions.

"I want to ask you, about yourself." Diana let out an interesting sigh.

"It's rare to be a possible contemporary of the visitors, so what do you want to know?" The Tank Brain lifted his head, and the glass container clearly revealed every groove of his own biological brain in the light.

"I want to know, what are you? Are you a human, or a machine? Diana smiled and gave an answer that was not one or the other.

"I'm all, and I can't, I'm neither." The tank brain was a little angry when he heard it.

What kind of answer is that? I heard that before the war, there was a technology that could preserve the body for a long time, but it could only maintain the brain's ability to think, but it could not prevent the body from degrading for a long time. It is said that the technology mastered by the military has strict requirements for the weight of biomass, and it may be possible to save only one head under this limit, but if those harsh conditions are met, it is enough to make people immortal, although communication and behavior can only be achieved electronically..... Are you such a being? One.... Electronic Eternals? Diana dismissed the speculation.

"You know a lot about the scientists of the big dome, and the technology you mentioned was one of the top secrets before the war, and it is said that the bosses of some large companies chose to be what you call .... The so-called electronic immortals, but I'm not their kind, and if I had to say who I am more similar to, the two of us might be the same kind. "A picture appeared on the side of Diana's body, which appeared to be a pair of twin sisters, both with red hair.

But for some reason, only the woman on the left has missing her face in the photo, and the face of the one on the right seems to have been deliberately blurred, which obviously doesn't mean anything to a pair of twin sisters, but Diana should have her own reasons for doing so.

"This is me 190 years ago, when I was a human being, and my name was Tina Stone." The cylinder brain let out a questioning sigh.

"So you've had brain surgery like me? But.... It is impossible to become the main control AI of the facility with the computing power of the human brain, let alone a facility as large as a nursery, which can only be handled by a ZAx or other kind of supercomputer AI, how did you manage to make this place run normally for so many years? Diana smiled.

"You're right, such a huge amount of computing is definitely not an order of magnitude that the human brain can bear, if a human brain is rashly installed on the main control port, it may not be long before it explodes..... So, I wasn't that simple, and Derek told me it was going to be an experiment with a whole new kind of AI technology that would span generations, because for the first time, a supercomputer and the human brain were combined. After a series of complicated and dangerous debugging and programming, my left and right brains were each connected to a ZAx, and when everything was settled, I was no longer the human I used to be, I became a new being——。 Andy and the others don't know how many times they've been shocked, but now they're still surprised by the news.

The deity behind the huge blue phantom was such an exaggerated guy.

"Hidden beneath this central control tower is my body, I'm a cyborg, or you can call me a cyborg in pre-war science fiction terms: cyborg.... Regardless, the project has identified me, the being who now stands before you. ”

"I am, Diana."
