After Pierre had finished his little meeting, Andy had to come up and talk.

"Oh, so you had the idea to take on this mission, and you've already told Otto, right?" The man in the blue robe said casually, although he was obviously not a young man, but the confidence in his demeanor was impressive.

Pierre handed a notebook to the man who was supposed to be his deputy, who was also wearing a unique robe similar to the one he was wearing.

"That's right, I know that only Jericho can find the drawings." Andy looked at the man in front of him, convinced that he must be the most powerful technician in the entire Hoover Dam.

"But before I set out, I want to know if this matter is really that critical, and if the drawings can do what they claim to do...", Pierre reached out and brushed his back and shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, how can I explain it to you. As one of the main people who actually made this ancient building functional, maybe not one of them, you know, it's not like I'm boasting... All I can assure you is that the Hoover Dam is running out of power to sustain the fools who are making noise in and around the dam all day long. ”

"Not only the water, but even the food is already in crisis, most people have been trapped in the Hoover Dam for too long, there shouldn't be so many people here, and now this outcome is only inevitable that it will happen sooner or later."

"I've been thinking about countermeasures, and I'm almost close to completing the engineering plan to optimize the water purifier, but I still need a little bit of reference. Otto, that guy is very good at repairing things, but trying to make him optimize the original things out of nothing does seem to be a bit out of his ability, and I will deal with this matter myself. As long as the stuff is in hand, everything will go smoothly. Pierre pondered for a moment after saying this, and then suddenly the conversation changed.

"I've heard about you from some workers, and you seem to have made a lot of fuss and got out unscathed, and it seems that your abilities are worthy of recognition. Jericho has a long way to go, and now I have another plan to optimize the grain output of the Hoover Dam... You have to know that the water purifier has a problem not for a day or two, and people can always cope with it for a while with some local methods, but if there is a famine, then we really have nowhere to find a way to deal with it. ”

"I was thinking that you might be able to do me a favor and then hit the road to find the drawings of the water purifier, which would be the most efficient option, and I promise that when you come back with the drawings of the water purifier, everything will be on track." He put his hands on the table and looked directly at Andy with a smile.

"What do you think?" Andy looked at him plainly on the surface, but in fact, he was silently complaining about things in his heart, and the more he talked.... No, perhaps this is also expected, Pierre is not a guy who lives with a water purifier like Otto, he is a real chief engineer of Hoover Dam City, and he must see more problems than the average person, and he is more objective and concrete.

"Okay, you do have a point, but I'd like to talk about it.... Requite. Pierre stood up and smiled as expected.

"Ahh Of course, how can you contribute in vain, although the mayor of Dodge has not allocated much money to the engineering department, I also have some bottle caps and some useful and valuable tools for me to distribute. Also, I'm sure I have a good reason to let your contribution spread throughout the Hoover Dam, and you may not think that a little fame is as useful as a bottle cap, but it's also for the sake of the Hoover Dam as a whole, isn't it? Andy nodded, the caps and tools didn't appeal to him much, but Pierre's last words did move him a little, and he hadn't forgotten why he had come here in the first place.

"Actually.... I'm here for a very important matter, and it's about as urgent as solving the water and food problems at the Hoover Dam, and I'm sure you can understand it. He handed Pierre a fruit of hope and told him what it did.

After waiting for Pierre to work in the laboratory for a full hour, he finally walked out with a solemn face.

"May I ask where you got this from?" Andy shook his head.

"I can't reveal.... Actually, even if I say it, it doesn't make sense. Pierre stared at the little fruit in a daze, and after a while his emotions suddenly became a little excited.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable to me, this thing is not actually a fruit at all, but a ..... It's a living organic polymer, and I don't even know how to describe its existence. This kind of thing, is it really safe? I don't know if it can really solve the blue plague that has been circulating before as completely as you said, but eating it rashly will probably cause genetic changes, which—" He froze for a moment, and finally spat out an inexplicable word.

"If you let those rude people who only have the provisions of the code in their minds know, I'm afraid they will only think that this is a blasphemous poison that will destroy all people and things related to this thing." After hearing this, Andy suddenly remembered that Mark had told him about another layer of Pierre's identity before.

"Don't worry about the potency problem, I have spread it in the areas inhabited by the natives, and the effect is remarkable. I can understand your concern about it modifying human genes, but the new plague is the more terrible thing in front of us than the consequences are not obvious at all; Speaking of which, the Hoover Dam should have been the site of a new plague in the first place, and I'm talking about the common name of the blue disease, and as far as I know, there have been some sick patients who have been here for a while. Pierre nodded suspiciously.

"It was a scary time, as if a lot of people had died of strange diseases overnight, and Mayor Dodge had to order the troops to dispose of the bodies and make sure the patients were quarantined..... Luckily, Dr. Yuri did have some real skills, and the medicine he made had some effect on the disease, and then it was a strange black plaster that spread from the Great Dome, and the disease was eradicated. Andy shook his head repeatedly, this was what he feared.

"No, no, no, the tonic ointment will not eradicate the new plague at all, it will only temporarily let it dormant... Think about it, if one day the connection with the west is restored, the virus will spread violently to the west without knowing it, and eventually spread to the entire wasteland, and the next virus outbreak will no longer have tonic cream to deliver to the sick everywhere in time, and the new plague will become a terminal disease that can spread all over the world. Pierre groaned, he had analyzed the virus before, but it was not in-depth, he thought it was a virulent infectious disease.

"That's ..... I need a moment to confirm what you said, alas.... If, I mean, if you're right, it's going to be a bit hard to spread this stuff in Hoover Dam City. In order for this to be done properly, you must first have the support of the Dodge Mayor, or you may be arrested for spreading dangerous goods, and after that we have to think of some way to let all of them absorb the ingredients of this fruit without having to explain it to the stupid citizens in detail, and if we discuss it, there will be a fair number of rebellious and anti-intellectual fools among those fellows who refuse this fruit and make it all go down the drain. Andy has nothing to do with this, and as a true scientist, he believes that Pierre will later understand that what he said is true and correct.

"After that, will you help me get a chance to meet Mayor Dodge and talk to him?" Pierre touched his chin and shook his head hesitantly.

"No.... You know, the NcR soldiers are all in the woods right now, and they are afraid that their beloved Dodge Mayor will die, and if he dies, the morale and morale of Hoover Dam City will be over, and they will certainly not let you in to see Joseph Dodge for some reason they don't understand. Mark interjected.

"What if you were to be recommended to him as the chief engineer of the Hoover Dam? They can't afford not to pay attention to it, right? Pierre had a wry smile on his face.

"Because some... For this reason, I am not allowed to come within a hundred meters of the NcR military headquarters, and if I had not followed this order from a grumpy officer, I would probably have eaten the bullet directly. So if you want to meet Mayor Dodger, it's best to make a real contribution to the development of the Hoover Dam before you have a chance. Andy furrowed his eyebrows.

"Why weren't you allowed to get closer? Could it be.... Who was you in the past? Pierre smiled meaningfully.

"What the hell, I thought it was a secret that few people knew. But I really can't keep it completely secretive, after all, I don't want to worry about my hidden past being found out by the soldiers while I work hard here, and then be shot on the spot for espionage. So, I confessed my identity before I officially took over my current position, and Mayor Dodge, President Candace Branch, and many other guys who should and shouldn't know all knew knew about it, and thanks to Mayor Dodger's open-mindedness, I had a place to stay. Mark was straight to the point.

"You were a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, I guess you're still a.... Scribes? Pierre was slightly surprised.

"Oh? Oh, you guessed right, as you said, the man named Pierre was indeed a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, with the rank of scribe. Andy and Mark glanced at each other, although Mark had mentioned the news to Andy before, but seeing a member of the Brotherhood of Steel for the first time, even if it was a former member, still made Andy feel extraordinary.

"I thought all the Brotherhood of Steel was that.," Pierre skilfully continued.

"Dressed like a metal can, with an energy weapon that can burn people to ashes, with crazy slogans in his mouth, an extraordinary concern for pre-war technological items, terrifying terrorists and madmen.... You want to say that, right? In fact, there are some people in the Brotherhood of Steel who are like this, but there are also some who are not. ”
