The infinite base of the heavens

Chapter 379 The Next Stage
379. Next stage
Almost at the same time that Knight yelled out the shutdown command, Paladin Dance's expression changed from anger to doubt, followed by boundless despair!In the end, all the functions of his body stopped, he lowered his head, his hands hang down feebly, and he just stood there motionless.

This scene was clearly seen by other Brotherhood of Steel fighters around, this scene was like a thunderstorm!

Paladin Dance!It's actually a synthetic human! !
This man has always abided by the code of chivalry, integrity, fairness, justice, bravery, and mercy. Even Elder Maxson recognized him as the best paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel.But such a person who can even be said to be the spiritual representative of the Brotherhood of Steel is actually a synthetic human! ?
Almost every Knight of the Brotherhood of Steel who saw this scene felt their faith collapse. They looked at each other and their comrades around.At this moment, they feel that these partners they get along with day and night are so strange!
Are you a synthetic?No, I am not!Are you?

They had almost lost their will to fight. Facing the attack of the academy's synth army, which was clearly at the end of their strength, the knights of the Brotherhood of Steel retreated steadily.

Danse's team began to retreat hastily, joining the main force.They ran past Dans who was still standing there, but they had no time to look at him, or rather, they didn't dare to look!

The Knights of the Brotherhood of Steel retreated, while the synths of the Academy swarmed forward.Everyone bypassed Dan Si's body in unison, and he stood there silently, like a monument to the death of a soldier, like a lonely reef in the ocean...

Before, the knights of the Brotherhood of Steel could rely on their steel-like will to face ten times more enemies, and they still remained unchanged in the face of double-sided attack.But now, they ran away like bereaved dogs.

The Bird helicopters took great risks and landed to meet the retreating Brotherhood of Steel knights. They were thankful that the terrible anti-aircraft missiles did not continue to fire, nor did the Gait machine guns of the remaining two tick tanks.Only the synth troopers kept on attacking.

Facing the Academy Synthet who was chasing after him, all the remaining 8 Starlight Paladins of the Brotherhood of Steel spontaneously stayed behind, and with them, there were even 10 other knights.With the determination to die, they never backed down. Facing the crazily rushing synths and the densely packed light blue laser beams shining on them, they never backed down!

A bird helicopter full of Knights of the Brotherhood of Steel soared into the sky and flew in the direction of Boston Airport.There's also the airship Prydwin, the last hope of the Brotherhood of Steel.

"Invincible!!!" A starlight paladin wearing red T-60E power armor shouted the slogan. He didn't even find a cover, so he stood with the momentum In the middle of the road, face the offensive of hundreds of academy synths!
The laser gatling in his hand kept firing, and the dense red laser beams shot out continuously, creating a deadly web of light in front of him!The three laser barrels were constantly rotating, and even with an advanced cooling system, under high-intensity continuous firing, the barrels began to glow red, twisted and cracked.

At the same time, the light blue laser beams fired by the academy synthetics kept falling on him, leaving little scorching marks on his power armor.The thick alloy armor of the power armor was burned with a little red by the high temperature of the laser. These red-burned places began to spread more and more, and flames and billowing smoke began to emerge from the inside of the power armor, but this Starlight Saint The Cavaliers are still not retreating.

The hot armor and flames scorched his body. When he opened his mouth, what he let out was not a scream, but, "Invincible!!"

Finally, with a bang, the laser gatling in his hand was overwhelmed and exploded due to overheating!

He threw away the laser gatling casually, and opened his hands to face the academy synthetics who kept rushing up!Not a single step back!

Countless light blue lasers overwhelmed him, and the synthetic man showed no emotion, just mechanically aimed at his target and pulled the trigger.

boom! ! !The power armor finally exploded, engulfing the last hero in a sea of ​​flames.

The battlefield began to fall silent, leaving only the remains of synths here and there, as well as the corpses of Brotherhood of Steel knights.The countless wreckage and corpses speak of the brutality of the battle.

And the paladin Dance still stands there, witnessing the beginning of everything, and also witnessing the loneliness of everything.For some unknown reason, a tear fell from the corner of his eye...

Knight let out a long sigh, and looked in the direction of Baobao Mountain, because he knew that Chunyuyan was there.

Between Chunyuyan and his own son, between the fledgling volunteer army and the thriving academy, he chose Chunyuyan.Because he knows that he does not belong to this era, this world... because no matter how much he did before, he could not change this world.

The war... goes on every day...

War, war never changes
However, there is still hope here!This hope was exactly the hope Chunyuyan brought!He's not from this world, he's from a world that hasn't been destroyed by a nuclear war, he can bring guns, ammo, robots, tanks, he knows the NBA, he knows the major leagues, he... holds hope.

This hope is like a bright light, illuminating Knight's dark life.time travel?What a nonsense!But Knight is willing to believe, he is willing to believe in this ray of light, he is willing to believe in Chunyuyan!
Therefore, he betrayed the academy and betrayed Danse, and he gradually became a marginal figure in the Volunteer Army.If Chunyuyan lied to him, then he would lose everything completely!But...he chose to believe...

X4-18 came over. He also had many scars on his body, and his black leather jacket was also broken in many places. He said to Knight who was still thinking: "Just now we discovered that the person from Bunker Mountain brought those 4 synthesizers. People are running away."

"Pursue immediately! Take back those 4 synthetics!!" Knight withdrew his thoughts, waved decisively, and ran over with a team of synthetics.

The recovery operation went surprisingly smoothly. Under Knight's brave fighting, the soldiers escorting the 4 synths collapsed at the touch of a button, leaving them to flee in a hurry.

At the same time, the coalition soldiers on the periphery, including the two tick tanks, also began to retreat, returning to the bunker hill and unable to hold on.

The 4 synths of the target were recovered, and a synth Danse was also attached, and the Brotherhood of Steel suffered a heavy loss.They killed or injured more than 40 knights, including all 10 starlight paladins brought out this time!
As for the nearly 1000 synths lost by the academy, they didn't take it seriously at all.

All I saw was that the synthets of the academy gathered the wreckage of the synths around them and the things that could be used on the battlefield, and then sent them back to the academy with these things.

"Wonderful battle!" After returning to the academy, Knight was greeted with applause from the scientists of the academy.

Sean led the scientists to wait in front of the molecular transporter, with a happy expression on his face, and he slapped his hands vigorously.He said: "From the capital to the Federation, no one can make the Brotherhood of Steel suffer such a tragic defeat. Not even the Enclave over the capital, and the super mutant legion. But you did it, father. I proud of you."

Knight smiled, nodded and said, "I just hope that the Federation can become better..."

"Believe me, this is exactly what we are going to do." Sean said with a smile. He seemed to be in a very good mood. And the growth of the railroads is really worrying, especially if they still have tanks, which I'm sure are not any kind of tanks before the war. However, their good days are not long."

"Actually, after the Brotherhood of Steel's defeat, I've always thought the railroads would be a serious problem for us. Are you sure you can beat them?" Knight asked.

"Actually, it may seem to you that everything in the college is so incredible. It is true that we have established such a cutting-edge research center and production line in such a wasteland. But what you may not know is that this It’s just less than one-tenth of our plan,” Sean said.

"Less than one-tenth? How big a plan do you have? What ability do you have to realize it?" Knight asked.

"It is true. Over the years, in order to continue to improve, we have made many compromises and sacrifices. Because every development of the college will be accompanied by further expansion of energy demand, but we have not been able to effectively improve energy The brilliant achievements you see now are all based on careful calculation of every kilowatt of energy. But now the shackles of energy experts on us are about to be broken, and the third phase of the project has reached its final stage. critical time.

Maybe you have guessed it, yes, the third phase project is a controlled nuclear fusion reactor.When we complete the research and development and construction of this reactor, we will have endless energy!We can expand arbitrarily, we can build countless synths!On that day, the academy will truly become the master of mankind! "Sean said with some excitement.

"So what's missing in this Phase [-] project?" Knight asked.

"We're very close, but we're still missing the last few steps. And there are two things you can help with. First, we're missing a critical component, the beryllium oscillator. After a long search, we have determined the location of this equipment, which is in the large nuclear fusion plant. This is a secret base where Rocco Corporation researched controllable nuclear fusion reactors before the war. After comparing a large number of pre-war documents Finally confirmed this," Sean said.

"What about the second thing?" Knight asked.

"The second thing is, a scientist named Wallace. He is a scholar living on the ground, but his ability and knowledge have not been affected at all in that harsh environment. I believe that if he can join the academy, He's going to achieve even more," Sean said.

"Okay, so which one should I do first?" Knight didn't want to think about the academy at all, so he just asked.

"Because the Battle of the Bunker Station caused heavy losses to our synthetics. Although this is just a small loss worth mentioning, we still need time to replenish the synthetics. And there should be automatic defense systems and robots in the large nuclear fusion plant The guard exists, so we can wait for a few days over there. Go and bring Wallace back first, because he is under the protection of the Volunteer Army, so we need to prevent the Volunteer Army from coming to hinder us." Sean said.

Knight pouted secretly in his heart. If it was him who chose, then he would definitely get that beryllium oscillator first, even if he took the risk, because this is the uncontrollable factor.And Wallace is there, and he is safe with the protection of the Volunteer Army. He can't fly with wings anymore, right?

It can only be said that Sean, who made this decision, also exposed his shortcomings as a scientist and a civil servant—that is, thinking too much, lacking decisiveness in everything, and always wanting to be comprehensive.

But Knight didn't want to remind him of this, because according to his and Chun Yuyan's plan, the Volunteer Army would attack the door immediately.Of course, the matter of the beryllium oscillator still needs to be discussed with Chun Yuyan.He thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, without further ado, I'll set off to bring Wallace back."

"Please wait a moment, father. I have one more thing to tell you, as well as the core scientists of all the colleges present." Sean said suddenly.

Seeing Sean's expression suddenly become extremely serious, Knight also frowned, and he said, "Go ahead."

……

"Is Elder Maxson in there?" On the Prydwin, Paladin Glade walked to the bridge door and asked loudly.

"I'm sorry, Elder Maxson doesn't want to see anyone." The brotherhood knight guarding the gate replied shaking his head.

"I want to see him now!!" Glyde snapped.

"I'm sorry, this is our duty." The guard knight still shook his head.

Paladin Glade was furious. He walked up two steps and slapped the gatekeeper knight. He looked at the knight and almost roared, "I just experienced a little setback, and it's because of Dans. The traitor caused it! As an elder, why did he hide in the bridge and not come out!"

While talking, he walked up to the gatekeeper knight, snatched his ID card, and said loudly: "I'm going in to see Maxson now! In the name of the Brotherhood of Steel! If you want to shoot me, then Come on!! Remember to hit me on the chest!! There must be no bullet marks on the back of the knight!!!”

Seeing the steadfast paladin Glade, the guarding knight sighed and said, "Knock me out...you have done your duty."
