Sitting back on the train, Andy and the three watched as the NcR soldiers and salvage crews worked together to move a huge piece of heavy equipment, which was supposed to be a large nuclear power generator.

It is not known where the salvage workers found it, it takes a certain amount of skill and experience to dismantle it, and the machines that were advertised by companies like General Atomics International before the war to work for more than 200 years without problems are often exaggerated in terms of results, but there are also some high-cost boutiques that can do what they advertise, even if the environment is harsh and lacks maintenance after the war.

Normally a large fusion generator is powered by a fusion core that drives the turbine-like equipment inside it to continuously produce electricity, but this one found by the salvage collectors is larger than that, and its internal power source is not a fusion core, but a more advanced reactor sealed in an isolation layer.

With the combined efforts of the hoisting machine, several robots, and everyone, the thing was finally reluctantly loaded into the train car, and everyone came to help, even the hunchbacked Stu was acting as a safety observer.

Andy retracted his gaze, and Mark was reading a book he had found in the scraps of the salvage, which cost him twenty bottle caps, and that was the price of friendship given on the face of being a friend of Andy's.

Although most of the salvage workers were almost illiterate, the words "mechanical engineering theory" written on the cover of the book were recognizable.

Although the book is stained with red dust that can never be removed, the content is a very precious thing.

Beatrice sat on the other side, suddenly bending down and slamming her fist downward.

"What's wrong?" Andy glanced down, it was the bag that contained the important items of the trip, and although giving it to Beatrice for safekeeping was always a concern about whether she would eat the head as a snack, Mark absolutely refused to do so, and he only wanted to take the transmitter with him.

He could have put these things in the Pip-Boy and carried them himself, but after thinking about it, he decided to lighten himself a little....

"Head.... It's moving. Beatrice straightened up.

"I hit.... It doesn't move. Andy kicked the bag, the former NcR soldier who called himself Diablo didn't know how he got into this way, the terrifying speed was enough for him to break through an entire group of NcR soldiers one by one with his bare hands, and it was no wonder that the six vigilant NcR soldiers scattered in the two rooms could be killed by him alone.

"Mark, what the hell do you think this Miguel is all about? He doesn't seem to be dead yet. Mark put down the book.

"If he were to say it himself, he would certainly attribute everything to the so-called .... God? But in my opinion, it's just another monster created by radiation. His extraordinary speed of action was not impossible to achieve using science, and the reaction between radiation and the human body was so complex that even before the war, those scientists did not fully understand it. This did sound like a reasonable explanation, so Andy didn't bother to continue to think about what was going on, anyway, the murderer could never continue to kill people again, and Potter was very grateful to Andy and gave Andy a small gift when he heard about it.

This thing is now stored in Andy's Pip-Boy. 【Rocco Food and Drug Preservation】【Description: A small civilian equipment developed and produced by Rocco Industries, which periodically disinfects and sterilizes the surrounding food, keeps the temperature and humidity in the environment in a stable state, delays the speed of food spoilage, and slightly increases the flavor of food.

【Warning: This product is forbidden to be soaked in liquid, please pay attention to the equipment status light at all times when using, if it is red, please immediately put this product in a closed place and call the after-sales phone to wait for professionals to come to dispose of it, due to the user's untimely observation of all medical expenses and equipment repair costs need to be borne by the user.

With this thing, Andy will not have to throw away the rotten part of the stored food from time to time in the future, which can reduce a lot of daily expenses in the long run.

The train starts again, with a transition node in the north, and then the train will turn back to the south.

Andy also saw how exactly the train turned around, which required a trip to some special railway forks, such as the so-called

The "triangle line" first disconnects the car from the front of the car, then the front of the car moves back and forth on the three intersecting tracks, and finally reaches the front end of the car to the rear end of the car, and then begins to drag the car in the direction it came.

The driver who was in charge of driving the train was not particularly skilled, resulting in a lot of wasted time. The crowd waited boredly in the train carriage, and a few NcR soldiers began to chat.

"The trains here are so old that they don't even go both ways, and there are a lot of problems with the railway... There was no manpower to repair the turnouts and branch lines, which made it so troublesome now. A bearded veteran sitting across from the complaining soldier took a puff on his cigarette and brought up something that interested Andy.

"It's not just trouble." The old soldier pointed to the south.

"Now that the train line has been restored, things are still a bit troublesome on the abandoned fortress, the local gangs... The gang leader called the hangman is not in the army, and we have to guard against the Iron Brotherhood and gradually resend more men to the recovered settlements, so we don't want to pay attention to them for the time being. ”

"But this matter will have to be resolved sooner or later, and when our eastern settlement network is restored, our railway will resume its previous busyness, and when the time comes, we will find a triangle or a light bulb line to make a U-turn, and we will have to finish playing with a bad schedule." It seems that the NcR soldiers, who had just begun to carry out railway-related tasks, were a little anxious when they heard this.

"That.... Sergeant, what solution do we have? The veteran uttered a word.

"Ever heard of the Big Turntable?" The young soldier touched the cool helmet on his head, apparently he had never heard of the word at all.

"What's that..... The kind of scammer raffle on the Hoover Dam? Or some gambling games? Several veterans laughed at the same time.

"No, let me tell you, the big turntable is a special device, the train can go to the big turntable and stop on it, and then people turn the turntable, and the train turns around on the spot? There's no need for such a slow process as it is now. You know what? Just north of this line, there is a large turntable, but unfortunately it is out of our control.... But one day we should master it, and it will be good for our rail system. Andy sat and listened in silence, the Hangman's rule seemed to be challenged after the gradual recovery of the NcR, and he didn't know what he would do next, even if the future of the fight with the Brotherhood of Steel was still uncertain, but in terms of size and profit, the hangman's hand was not enough to strangle the throat of the giant bear.

............................. A few days later, the group finally returned to Hoover Dam.

Andy enters the center with a stinking bag and finds Bob, who is arguing with a ragged guy about whether a snowflake ball can be thirty or three hundred caps.

"This thing of yours is worthless in another place!" Bob looked at the wasteland man in front of him, apparently a poor ghost, with a look of contempt.

"Don't take your for a treasure, okay? If it weren't for the slightest possibility, some generous collectors might have collected this thing as an ornament and decoration, and I wouldn't have a bottle cap at all, would this broken thing be edible or usable? You might be able to put it in your asshole! The wasteland's face flushed, and with a shout, he took the snowflake ball away, and rushed out of the store without looking back.

Andy slowly stepped forward and threw the horrible stenking bag onto Bob's counter. A disgusting stinking wave came straight into his face, smoking Bob to the point that the old man almost threw up.

"Gross.... cough cough cough ..... It's—" Andy pointed with his chin.

"Miguel Vargas's head, I just got back from Dog City." Bob took out a gas mask from the cabinet behind him, then carefully opened the bag, feeling a headache.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's been a long time since a bounty hunter has come to me to hand over the job of a headhunter, ahem.... Most people just ask me if I have any missions like a private investigator or searching for missing people, the last one to come back with my head was before the fall of Fort Alashid, and I need to confirm the identity of my prey. He opened the locked door behind him with his head and entered it, not knowing what to do, and after waiting for a while, he walked out.

"It's the legendary vampire, God.... This guy is left with a stinking head, but his mouth still seems to move, and I may have to deal with him further later. Your caps will come soon, as promised, 1000 caps, no less. Andy took the heavy bag, didn't count it, and turned to beckon the other two to leave.

Back at the top of the dam, Andy's next goal is to find the guy named Pierre, who, according to Mark, is the only way to keep the Hoover Dam running smoothly thanks to the efforts of a group of technicians, but the chief engineer who leads all the technicians is not a member of a Follower of the Apocalypse.

At the beginning of the Eastward Expansion Movement, fearing that the NcR would gain too much pre-war technology after the occupation of the Hoover Dam and intensify its expansionism, the general director of the Followers of the Apocalypse deliberately did not send members who were more familiar with science and technology, and instead replaced them with historians and anthropologists like Candace who were tasked with investigating the customs of the East and working to civilize the natives and spread civilization, as well as many doctors and nurses like Dr. Yuri, who were dedicated to healing the sick and saving lives.... Theoretically.

This also led to the Hoover Dam becoming an isolated island, and the mayor of Dodge had a headache for the daily operation and maintenance of the Hoover Dam, but fortunately Pierre came here to take over the position of chief engineer.

Soon after, Andy and his family entered the Hoover Dam City Engineering Department located in the top of the dam, and there were NcR soldiers with guns standing at the door, but the inspection was not strict, and most of the workers walking around inside were wearing blue or white overalls, and there were occasional followers of the Apocalypse in white coats, and the workers here were employed by the Hoover Dam city government to work for the Hoover Dam to continue to operate normally under the NcR rule.

After asking people, they made it all the way to the chief engineer's office in the engineering department. As soon as I entered, I saw a man wearing a distinctive blue robe, which was very elegant, soft and snug and seemed to have some interesting knick-knacks built-in.

The man seemed to be of a good position, and everyone around him was listening to him talk about something related to technology, he was about fifty years old, but he was still very imposing, and there was no twilight in his eyes.

With his white hair combed back and a calm smile on his face, he has an oppressive sense of leadership that convinces people that his decision is beyond doubt.

"See?" Mark motioned for Andy to keep an eye on the conspicuous man.

"He's Pierre, and he has a unique view of science and technology in all aspects, but his main direction is agriculture at the moment, and that ghoul named Otto can manage the water purifier below is also what he means, and if the Hoover Dam is not in his hands, I really don't know what terrible things will happen."
