Rama is a knight in the Mojave branch of the Iron Brotherhood, and is twenty-seven years old. Unlike the scribe who is in charge of technical work, he often goes on field patrols and can leave bunkers in the hidden valley and conduct reconnaissance work in the Mojave desert.

Not long ago, his report on the abnormal movement of the robot was sent back to the bunker. Elder Nolan McNamara ordered him to continue tracking the clue and find out the truth. However, he was alone and did not carry heavy equipment. The number of pre-war robots made it impossible for him to start.

If it were ten years ago, there would be no such fear of performing field missions. He thought to himself that the presiding elder Elijah planned a failed operation before he disappeared, and buried the most important combat power of the Brotherhood of Steel at the Sun God 1 Power Station. As a result, the Mohavi branch can only hide underground like a rat in the gutter.

However, we are just, even if not understood by people in the wasteland, the Brotherhood of Steel has always been just, and he proudly thought. Pre-war technology is tantamount to these degraded "secondary groups" as a too heavy axe to young children. Letting them master advanced technology will only bring more destruction to the wasteland.

War, war will never change.

He changed his position a little and redirected the camouflage net. Yesterday, the patrol routes of the robots seemed to have changed a little, and he had a bad feeling that they had discovered his existence.

He decided to venture into the air at night. The light-powered armor on his body was enough to withstand ordinary laser shooting and multiple plasma bombardment. The three-eyed laser rifle he equipped with can quickly destroy the robots at a close and medium range. As long as he carefully chooses his own action route and ensures that his tactical actions are not unfamiliar, there should be no problem with an armed reconnaissance.

After all, although I only carry the lightest power armor, I am already a rare enemy in the wasteland, unless I encounter those legendary terrifying wild animals, mutant beasts called death claws. It is said that these savage killers wandering on the wasteland appeared in the quarry in the northwest, blocking the caravan's road. Humph, this problem will make NCR a headache. Since they act like a legal government posture, they should do what the government should do, rather than hiding in their base, and even the bandits cannot settle it.

When it was sunset, Rama dug out a small box in the sand and used his fingerprint to open the box's fingerprint lock. Then he assembled the light power armor inside. He opened the rear compartment from the back of the armor, then quickly climbed into the power armor, and the constant temperature air conditioning system began to run. The cold metal sucked away the heat he had been lying on the dunes for a day. The micro-nuclear fusion battery activated the power supply, and the hud in front of him began to display various data, and the system quickly completed the self-test.

He tried to take two steps. The recruits always couldn't master the trick of power armor. They couldn't control it well and could easily fall down. The trick was "don't use force". You can't wear power armor like wearing a piece of clothing, but let it drive your body. You only need a little force as an operation signal, and then it will amplify your strength and movements. When you get used to it, you will feel that it has become a part of your body. Many people will not walk normally after getting off the plane. It takes a long time of training and practical combat to make a novice rider proficient.

Rama picked up his three-eyed laser rifle, checked the power of the energy battery, and ensured that the angle of the spectrometer in front was correct. Then he connected it with the interface on his arm with a data cable.

"Did you improve this power armor yourself?"

Someone asked behind his back, and the sergeant quickly turned around and aimed. Hud appeared as his muzzle swung, a cross-pointing heart appeared, within half a second. He had already put the head of the person in the heart.

"Report your origin, otherwise I will shoot!"

In fact, Rama is ready to pull the trigger at any time. His whereabouts can be exposed. In the smallest, he only occasionally violated the confidentiality regulations. In the largeest, if someone follows his actions, he may find the location of the bunker in the hidden valley. Even if a barbed wire and underground ventilation system have been used to create an artificial desert storm, the location of the bunker is still not foolproof.

"Don't panic, take it easy." The visitor made a gesture representing the Iron Brotherhood badge, and then slowly took out a small thing from his pocket, "Look at this."

He pressed it, and then a signal identification sign was displayed on Rama's hud, and the other party was also a member of the Iron Brotherhood. But he confirmed that he had never seen this man in the bunker. The mysterious man in front of him looked very distinctive. At least when all women almost shaved their heads, there would be no man with long hair in the underground base.

"What part are you from?"

"Washington, capital division. Senior scribe Tom Sue."

How could the East Coast Brotherhood come here? Rama did not relax his vigilance, but just lowered his gun a little, and gradually read out the other party's identification information on Hud, and everything was correct. He heard that the East Coast Brotherhood was a rebellious branch, deviating from the tradition of the Iron Brotherhood protecting technical knowledge, but instead tried to use his own technological power to change this wasteland, which sounded similar to the Apocalypse followers, but was more violent.

"Why do people on the East Coast come here?"

"I am carrying out special tasks. To put it simply, it is to investigate the battle situation here. It seems that you are having a very unsatisfactory life."

"There is no need for outsiders to interrupt the Mohavi Brotherhood." Rama responded coldly.

"I have something very curious. According to my investigation, in the Sun God One guard battle a few years ago, you should have dispatched 150 knights and thirty heavy combat robots. NCR only mobilized an army of 3,000 people. With such a great firepower advantage, how could you be defeated?"

Rama's face turned a little purple, and this ignorant East Coast member hit the biggest weakness of the Mohavi branch.

One hundred and fifty knights wearing power armor, the leader of the then leader, Elder Elijah, personally led the team to defend Sun God One. The power armor looked bulky, but in fact it took into account both flexibility and powerful defense. Ordinary small-caliber guns and assault rifles could not break the defense at all. Only high-power energy weapons, high-power explosives, and large-caliber guns could break through. In addition, the high-tech energy weapons firepower of the Brotherhood of Steel far exceeded the NCR army's high-tech energy weapons, the simple combat power comparison should be a one-sided defeat battle.

"It's very simple to talk about war on paper. Put you on Sun God One at that time, and you will know why we retreated."

In fact, Rama, who was still an apprentice knight at that time, was not qualified to participate in the defensive battle that was fully produced by elites. However, from the remarks of the parties involved, he still pieced together the battle situation at that time. The elite Brotherhood Knights should have had a huge tactical advantage, but Elder Elijah issued a dead order and was not allowed to rush forward without authorization. He defended Sun God One to ensure that the power station equipment was safe and sound. The knights who were restrained could not use their firepower advantages and could only shoot every soldier aimlessly.

At this time, the Rangers, the most elite unit of the NCR, played a crucial role. Ranger gunmen, selected from a hundred, carried large-caliber anti-equipment sniper rifles, specifically aimed at the weak joints of the power armor, and named the armored knights one by one.

With huge casualties, the disadvantage of insufficient number of fraternities was highlighted. The remaining fraternities knights could only retreat, and the "Heavenly Punishment Weapon" that Elder Elijah was thinking about could not be activated. The Battle of Sun God One turned into a complete defeat and became a sign of the complete transfer of the Iron Brotherhood into underground activities in Mohavi.

Su Jing roughly understood some knowledge about this. He just wanted to observe the reaction of this fraternity member. To be honest, he did not like Mohavi’s fraternity branch. It can be said that this branch is quite "fundamental", from a protector of technology to a slave of technology. They have long abandoned the chivalrous spirit and are simply egoists.

Mohavi's Iron Brotherhood only focuses on weapons-related technologies. Moreover, due to the failure of the previous generation of elder Elijah, the elders of this generation of brotherhood were conservatives, following the Book of Constitutions and only wanted to maintain the existence of the Brotherhood in the bunker, which led to the emergence of the pro-war faction who opposed him. Both sides were guys with rigid heads. If the pro-war faction came to power, the remaining power of the brotherhood would be thrown outside, overestimating their ability and size to go to war with Mr. House.

In fact, without external interference, the Iron Brothers in the Mojave Desert will lead themselves to perishment. The use of conservative strategies may lead to a longer life, but neither NCR, Caesar or Mr. House gained supreme power in the desert, they could stand out; while the adoption of radical strategies would lead to accelerated demise. Their only way out is to reach cooperation with an outside force.

In Caesar's usual style, he might agree to join the Iron Brotherhood, but when he uses these people to deal with the NCR, he will immediately turn against him, search for Mohavie, dig everyone out of the bunker, and hang them all on crosses. Or act as a slave. Mr. House's calculation model believes that the existence of the Iron Brotherhood will have a great possibility of the destruction of his regime. Out of fear of the technological level of the Iron Brotherhood, House is the person who most wants to eliminate the Iron Brotherhood among the three giants.

NCR, due to its system, is the choice with the highest probability of success. However, people from the Iron Brotherhood hate NCR to the core, and it is unlikely that it will be difficult to solve this problem without strong skills.

Based on these considerations, Su Jing decided to let these poor people have some hateful things to use their remaining energy to see if they have any possibility of transformation. In his judgment, letting the Black Crusaders annex and absorb the strength of these guys is the most preferred, and treating them as guns and fighting against the mutant forces on the Black Mountain is also an acceptable future.

I hope they don’t make things difficult for me. Su Jing smiled and raised his hand, saying that he didn’t want to discuss this matter again.

"As a messenger on the East Coast, I think I should meet with your elders and we can sit down and talk about the possibility of working together."

"There is nothing to talk about." Rama responded stiffly, "Just take care of yourself, this is our territory."

"I think this is probably not something you can decide, Sergeant." Su Jing said gently, "By the way, these robots are also rebuilt by me. If the situation in the future allows, perhaps we can let the Brotherhood of Steel walk again in the sun without hiding like now."

"snort!"

This irritable sergeant wanted to take action several times, but in the end he was afraid of the regulations that must be united among the members of the fraternity and did not take action against Su Jing. Su Jing believed that he would quickly report the news of his encounter with the East Coast messenger to the senior fraternity leaders, but it is hard to say whether he would add fuel to the fire.

"I thought my 'Friendship Destroyer' could open." Su Jing shrugged, and an arc of electric current flashed between his hands.

"Why have you been out for so long? Haven't you killed that person?" When he returned to the repconn headquarters, the mechanic was working hard on the floor to do sit-ups. Since Glados claimed that his weight exceeded the standard, he has always loved high-calorie junk food. His biggest hobby is that the girl who is lying in bed and playing game consoles has begun to work hard on weight loss, taking out precious time for repairing robots to burn fat, from doing yoga to endurance exercise, he changes his tricks every day.

As a beneficiary of this kind of physical exercise, Su Jing decided to verbally praise her. Although he knew that the weight of Glados exceeded 5% of the standard was entirely because her prosthetic limb was heavy, if it was replaced with high-performance plastic, the 5% would disappear immediately.

"Ah, it's all a bit of a very troublesome political consideration. Whenever I start to miss Miss Lu, if she is there, I don't have to use my head and focus on being my combatant and technical support team."

"When you are with me, please don't mention other women."

"I know, I know, I love you alone Su Jing."

It seems that even glados are shocked by the shamelessness of men. The artificial intelligence that likes to attack human self-esteem has been spoken for a while.

【Strange. According to the analysis of voiceprints, you did not lie.】

"I said that we will let you see a higher stage of technology." Su Jing smiled and picked up the girl on the ground, "And I am indeed a reflection of higher-level technology."

Another universe.

“Is it running unhindered?”

"The quantum probability split across the plane... until now, it has been running without any obstacles." The man floated in a dark space, his voice as if he was passing through the water layer. "I have been able to make a preliminary 'incarnation'." (To be continued.)
