Chapter 44 Personnel Organization
After a few days of travel, the Atomic Hummer finally made its way back to Arizonsi from southern Colorara.
The talks are basically settled, and all that remains is to wait for the people and things that are still on the way, and make good use of the resources that are now available so that the rocket can be launched as soon as possible.
Standing in Blomfield's control center, Andy still felt a little touched when he watched his teammates get together.
Cylinder Brain, Gillian, String and Battery are gathering to discuss the reboot of the operating system and the lack of hardware system, Alexandra, Big Bear, Chrissy and others are discussing the safety of Bloomfield, after all, it is not impossible that there are strange guys who choose to come over at this time to make trouble, so many people and materials are concentrated in Bloomfield, which also involves pre-war technology facilities and various forces and Prester and his group.
In order to ensure that future launch plans are foolproof, it is necessary to think of all possibilities, what if there is armed interference, covert infiltration, sabotage and other actions such as a group of marauders, or the Ring of Steel, NcR, etc.?
Blomfield's power grid has been reactivated, and gates and checkpoints have been urgently erected at the entrance to the only car park, with traps added in places that could easily be used as breaches.
Mark asked Andy this morning for what Colonel Green called a 'ticket' to the launch platform, and he said that he was sure to go in and shut down the internal security system of the Hermes rocket, and since he was so confident, Andy was relieved to hand over the holographic cassette to him, and once the security system was removed, the rocket would become safe to enter, and the technicians would do a further inspection of Hermes at that time.
The voices around him gradually became noisy, and more and more people woke up from their sleep, and then immediately rushed to the control center to participate in the discussion, and the first foreign aid to arrive was naturally the nearest followers of the Apocalypse, led by the branch president of Candace, these people were all highly skilled and often humble and courteous.
In comparison, the NcR scientists and his party made a bit of a fuss, especially Dr. Goddard, who was very irritable at every turn and regarded himself as the person in charge of the Hermes launch project, although he was indeed more capable than ordinary scientific researchers, but this attitude often aroused the disgust of others, and he had quarrels with the head of the Candace branch, Battery, and Gilly Security in the past few days.
It may take a while for the Brotherhood of Steel to come over, as they are a little far away from the complicated situation there.
Andy thought, raising his arm to glance at the Pip-Boy's taskbar. [Mission: Hermes] [Description: You need to go to various forces to gather their manpower and material resources, raise a ground team and accompanying team that can help you fly into space, and obtain the key internal code of the Hermes XIII rocket] [Progress: 1. Go to the Great Dome to convince the scientists to become ground operators, take them to Bloomfield 7/7, and have them provide the mapping equipment needed to repair the rocket1/1.
2. Go to the Hoover Dam to convince the scientists of the Eastern Branch of the Followers of the Apocalypse to become ground operators and pick them up at Bloomfield 3/3.
3. Go to Fort Maxson to convince the scribes of the Eastern Division of the Brotherhood of Steel to become ground operators3/3 and have them provide the three catalysts needed to repair the rocket3/3.
4. Go to the reservation to find the release chip for the Hermes XIII rocket clip and bring it back to Blonnfield 1/1.
5. Go to the reservation and look for the special code 1/1 used to turn off the automatic security system inside Hermes XIII and use it to disarm the automatic security system.
6. Head to the nursery to get some self-maintenance eyeball robots and bring them back to Bloomfield 6/6.
7. Go to where possible and search for metal materials and e-waste that could be used to repair rockets, and bring them back to Bloomfield10/13.
8. Find any five teammates who are willing to join you on a Hermes XIII rocket to the .m.b-001 space station to stop Prester 5/5.
9. Go to the bottom of the Grand Canyon to find the main wreckage of .m.b-002 and obtain its CPU in order to obtain .m.b-001 docking code 1/1.
Looking at it, there was another noise behind him. Andy feels a bit of a headache and walks out of the house, just in time to see a Rocket Gang member walking towards him.
"Boss! Someone is coming for you! ... There's also a team of strange robots. Andy hurried to the gate and saw Isaac and the three other Brotherhood of Steel guys standing there, as well as some guys who were obviously pre-war military robots.
"Confirm - Deliverer - Please sign for receipt." The huge Iron Guard said this, and the brave gentleman next to him handed over a piece of paper.
"Take away these Uncle Sam's gifts, and use them to fight bA people!" Andy was a little speechless and signed his name on the paper, and the robots immediately turned away, leaving a strangely shaped trailer there, the front of the trailer was actually a robot integrated on it, looking at the spraying on it, it seemed that it once belonged to a certain courier company...
"Call someone to come and move the things off this car and send them to the launch pad!" Andy shouted twice to hand over the chores to the members of the Rocket Gang, and instead approached Isaac and the others.
"Great, you're finally here, and now everyone is here." Pierre, who was beside Isaac, nodded at Andy, and Edward seemed to want to say something to Andy, but was unable to speak due to the presence of the scribe.
"Don't think we're deliberately procrastinating, it's the result of overcoming all kinds of difficulties." Isaac's eyes have rarely been taken off the Hermes rocket since he entered Bloomfield, the most recognizable Old World tech creation here, and the only hope for saving the world.
"We came here secretly, or we're going to have to fight... How is the project progressing? What is the progress of the rocket repair? What about fuel reserves? Do you have all the components? What are the current difficulties? He asked Andy like a barrage of questions, so he could only tell him that he could ask the researchers inside, so Isaac stopped talking to Andy and walked straight in the direction Andy pointed out.
Edward deliberately stayed at the end to thank Andy.
"They agreed that my sister would stay, so it had something to do with you, right? Thank you for your help, Chivalrous Knight! Andy smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Thanks to Elder Nils, let's go and work for our future." The Pip-Boy suddenly vibrated and looked up to see that it was a communication from Diana.
"I detected that the security system inside the Hermes rocket has been turned off, now you can go inside the shuttle on the rocket with the others without worrying about being attacked by those automatic security devices, and I can also start the maintenance eyeball robot and start the automatic repair work... Before you can do so, you'll also need to arrange ground personnel to ensure that they can continue to do their jobs after you leave Earth. ”
"I still need some time to use the cpU of .m.b-002 to figure out the docking code of .m.b-001, and it is important to ensure the safety of the site during this time." Andy nodded solemnly.
"Understood." Several eyeball robots were activated and slowly floated into the air. He looked at the various materials piled up next to the rocket of the launch platform, those garbage were sent from all over the world in the past few days to repair all kinds of high-grade polymers, special steels and even various electronic components, the maintenance eyeball robot sent by the nursery has been activated by Diana and began to repair it automatically.
Although they didn't understand the principle at all, these little robots kept going back and forth between the material pile and the rocket, floating in the air, working with something similar to an electric soldering iron that emitted a dazzling light underneath it, and the rocket was changing little by little, and the material pile began to gradually get smaller.
"It's amazing." Andy wears sunglasses to protect his eyes from the bright light, and Mark happens to be coming from the direction of the launch platform, and he also cares about the robots.
"These robots are cutting-edge pre-war military supplies, and I once saw them in the ruins of an old military base maintaining pre-war ICBMs... In addition, according to the records, there should be a medical model that can detect the user's physical condition in real time and inject drugs to administer treatment. Mark said, turning his head to look at Andy.
"I'm more curious about where you got them?" Andy smiled and didn't want to say more.
"A... It's a pre-war facility like you said, but there's no terrible weapons there. Mark didn't say anything when he saw this, just returned to the control center with Andy, only to hear another violent argument as soon as he stepped inside.
"Everyone here has to divide the labor according to my requirements!"
"What are you? Deserve to talk to me like that? ”
"How dare you talk to me like that? You're a stupid pig compared to me! ”
"When I don't know who you are? Goddard, NcR's stupid vice chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board, it seems to me that your entire advisory board is a bunch of pigs joining in the fun, except for Prester being the number one! Especially you, not only are you a pig, but you're also a nasty pig! ”
"Yes, you still know my name, but what about you? Look at your clothes, you're a scribe of the Brotherhood of Steel, right? Don't you anti-humans, bloody war criminals, losers and sinners, dare not know that now is the time for us to unite to save human civilization? ”
"If saving human civilization means obeying guys like you, the world might as well be destroyed!" The two walked in and saw Dr. Goddard and Isaac arguing.
This kind of thing has happened before, Dr. Goddard's domineering and strange temper is unbearable for the others around him, the Candace branch president has been in contact with him in the past, and she can still endure the past friendship and the current crisis, and Battery and Gillian and the others are barely as knowledgeable as Dr. Goddard after being persuaded by Andy.
However, when it came to Isaac, things were not so easy to fool. When Isaac saw Andy walk in, he immediately shouted at him angrily.
"Come, tell me why there's a bald head with a brain full of feces here at me? If you want me to do his bidding, I'll get out of here right now! "Dr. Goddard's braised eggs are all green on their heads, and they're getting redder.
"You fool dare to say it again? Roll on! Get out of here, you evil terrorists are needed to save the world! He turned to Andy and yelled.
"Did you call this guy? If you still want to take to the skies on time to stop Prester in a rocket, get him out! Before Andy could reply, Isaac's face turned cold.
"It is absolutely unacceptable that the fate of humanity cannot be in the hands of a wooden head like yours, who are arrogant! Andy! Hurry up and get him out of here, or I'll report to Elder Brixley, and if you don't change your mind, we'd rather storm Bloomfield than stop the nuke from falling!" Andy couldn't take it anymore.
"Be quiet!" The two finally shut up, and Andy realized that the division of labor on the ground could not be delayed any longer, and that the matter had to be resolved reasonably before he could leave the ground.
"It seems that the two of you are incompatible, so neither of you can think about the commander-in-chief of the ground, I will appoint another person to be the commander-in-chief." His gaze skimmed over a few people, Gillian was not too skilled, and her personality was not tough enough; The string has already said that he will also leave with him on the rocket, and there is no choice; Candace Branch President is a good person, and in fact, her professional direction is not very compatible with launching rockets, although being an operator is qualified, but being a commander-in-chief is definitely not good... A mechanical figure leisurely drinking Nuka-Cola came into view.
"Tank brain, let him be the commander-in-chief, what do you think?" Dr. Goddard glanced at the robot, and put the Coke on the table next to him with some fear, pretending to be well-behaved, and a smile quietly appeared on his lips.
"Okay, it has that ability anyway, I'm in favor of it." Isaac frowned.
"Are you crazy? Have a brain-controlled robot take control of the commander-in-chief on the ground? That kind of guy's brain is basically ruined by codE, what if something goes wrong at a critical moment? How can the future of humanity rest on the deformed creations of an old world technology? Tank Brain was angry, but Isaac raised his hand and raised a small device to press the button like an unpredictable prophet, and his electronic vocal cords suddenly failed, and no sound could be made, which immediately frightened Tank Brain.
Isaac looked at everyone as if he were showing evidence.
"You see, this kind of guy is a marionette full of loopholes, and he can't be trusted at all!" Andy turned his gaze to the battery again with some helplessness.
"So, what do you think of letting the battery be the commander of ground control?" Isaac glanced at the Buraku who was a little dazed by the sudden nomination, and then at Dr. Goddard, who was full of surprise, and nodded immediately.
"Yes, I can trust the technical level of the battery, and he has no problem being the commander-in-chief!" Dr. Goddard slapped the table on the spot.
"I think this is crazy, let a native be the commander-in-chief? Why don't you get a deathclaw or a mole to be the operator? What level of skill does he have? How skilled are you at throwing spears? He rushed to the battery and pointed at the terminal next to him.
"Come, tell me you can read these operating systems and electronic buttons? What does this mean? What does that do? Battery rubbed his head and stammered tentatively to tell the answers one by one, although his answers were mixed with a lot of encrypted words due to the influence of nervousness and daily language habits, but even a few words still revealed his extraordinary understanding of the scientific principles of the old world, which made Dr. Goddard silent for a long time, and he looked up and down the battery with strange eyes, as if he was looking at a creature from another world.
But after a while, he still stubbornly expressed his disapproval.
"No one else understands what this native says, but it's good to understand one and a half sentences in three sentences, let him be the commander-in-chief? Are you afraid that the rocket will not go wrong during launch? Andy wiped his face and slowly walked to the center console at the front of the group.
"Okay, don't argue, since you're not satisfied with the two of them, then there's only one last candidate.." He shouted into the air above a name that made both Goddard and Isaac a little inexplicable.
"Diana!" In the next second, all the terminal screens present instantly turned off, and then lit up again, but this time all that appeared was a somewhat strange woman's face, like an image composed of some kind of blue transparent light, but when Andy turned his head to look, he always felt that Diana's face seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
"Even without you, I can replace all of you alone, my computing power can even surpass the ZAx supercomputer, and I fully understand the whole process of rocket launch, if this launch plan is completely presided over by me, I am sure that the rocket will arrive at its destination without any problems, but because the control center in Bloomfield has a lot of places that require manual operation, I have to need some people's hands to help me press the button and push and pull the switch, I asked Andy to summon you here, and that's all." Under the surprised gazes of Isaac and Goddard, Diana said some ruthless words indifferently.
"It doesn't matter what kind of power you belong to; It doesn't matter if you feel good about yourself or not; Whether you still have a human body or not; No matter what kind of lifestyle you maintain... You don't make any difference to me. During the rocket launch, you don't need to use your brains, you only need to use your hands, to be precise, exactly as I asked, and there is no need for anyone else to be the commander-in-chief here..."
"I was born before the Great War, and I still guard the last hope of this world, the Great War, and I must not allow it to come again, Ladies and Gentlemen, immediately stop those useless quarrels and untimely hostilities." Her cold voice uttered the last word.
"You just have to obey me, because I am Diana."
