The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 43 Senators and Generals
That afternoon and the next day, Marvin did not go to find Lady Hartman, because the boys in the shelter could not return so quickly; nor did he go to the White Spring Bunker, because he could not enter it yet.
He used meditation as much as possible to speed up the recovery of magic power, so that his meditation reached level 9.
[Meditation: 9 + (After entering the meditation state, physical consumption is reduced by 80%, energy recovery speed is increased by 45%, mental attributes and perception attributes are slowly improved, and mental trauma and mental trauma are slowly healed)]
In addition, he has been studying the rules and regulations of the White Spring Bunker for the past two days.
On the third day, Marvin entered the White Spring Bunker with the six people in Hartman's team.
The thin and gloomy face of Modus was displayed on the screen of the vertical terminal used to accept tasks.
It smiled with its mouth wide open, and the voice came from the terminal: "Congratulations, Captain Hartman, ah, now Major Hartman, you can continue to choose your mission. Also, your authority has been upgraded to level 4, and the goods have been refreshed."
According to Letty Hartman, the third floor of the White Spring Bunker is a storage and training area, where the terminal sells various blueprints and formulas, weapons, armor, power armor and medicines...
But there are only blueprints and formulas, no finished products. The higher the authority, the higher the level of blueprints that can be purchased.
And Modus actually accepts bottle caps as currency.
Letty did not rush to accept the task, but entered the third floor alone, and came up with a piece of paper more than ten minutes later, which recorded the name and description of the blueprint he thought was useful.
No one accepted the task, but left the bunker and went straight to the lawn of the White Spring Resort, because the most important thing now was the paper in Letty's hand.
The supervisor is now with the Vaughn team, and is gradually calling back other teams from the shelter.
But only people without better individual weapons can't deal with the scorched beasts.
The supervisor, the core members of Vaughn's team, six members of Hartman's team, and Marvin, who had the most experience in dealing with scorched beasts, gathered together for a meeting.
Several weapons were selected from the list.
Plasma Gatling, plasma projector, Fat Man nuclear bomb launcher, M202 rocket launcher.
Because it is troublesome to manufacture and carry a large number of bullets in large quantities, even after seeing the power of Marvin's two large-caliber firearms, live ammunition weapons are still not the first choice, such as Barrett sniper rifles and M67 heavy machine guns.
The six weapons and modified accessory drawings together require nearly 10,000 bottle caps, and the two teams barely gathered the money.
Marvin gave Robert Vaughn 800 bottle caps as a share. After that, he can copy all the purchased drawings.
In addition, the two teams informed each other of the recent progress and determined the follow-up action plan.
Robert has sent 12 people to accompany the car to tour the scorched beast corpses. Although the Brotherhood of Steel complained about insufficient manpower, it also sent two teams of 12 people to accompany the car for protection.
There are 10 people left in Vaughn's team, and other teams that come to Baiquan later will be sent out to collect supplies.
The 12 members of Hartman's team are still continuing to complete tasks, helping Letty to upgrade her military rank and strive to get the location of the nuclear missile silo as soon as possible.
Regarding the operation to eliminate the scorched beasts, everything is managed by the supervisor, with unified logistics and unified goals.
There are still three and a half days before the one-week deadline, and Marvin and Hartman's team are heading to the Baiquan bunker together.
On the way, Marvin stopped the others and said to Letty: "I may have a way to skip those annoying tasks."
Everyone stopped, and the captain Letty Hartman asked: "Are you serious?"
Marvin nodded.
"How to do it?"
"Call all the people who have registered in the bunker and go down together. But I can't guarantee that it will succeed."
Letty waved her hand.
"How can it be successful? You won't lose anything by giving it a try." After that, she asked tentatively: "Are you sure you won't lose anything?"
"Absolutely not."
Letty thought about Robert and his friends' attitude towards Marvin, as well as the supervisor's trust in Marvin, and said to her teammates next to her: "Cole, go back and call everyone, and we'll gather at the entrance of the bunker."
As for the dead Banks team, no one cared about that rumor.
...
Everyone came to the White Spring Bunker. Before entering the door, Marvin said to the boys in the shelter: "I will communicate with Modus later, don't interrupt me. I will remind you when you need to speak. Agree?"
Letty nodded: "No problem."
Modus is an artificial intelligence. It stands to reason that he cannot lie, but he can choose to conceal some things, which was very obvious when Marvin registered to join the Enclave.
This smart AI is using the information gap to drag the boys in the shelter to work for nothing.
Entering the White Spring Bunker, Marvin first came to the joint office area and stopped in front of the vertical terminal. Modus's thin face was displayed on the screen.
"Modus, what are your duties?"
The face on the screen did not move, and the voice came from the speaker of the terminal: "Dispatch all equipment and auxiliary facilities of the White Spring Bunker to ensure the normal operation of all equipment in the area. Assist the local Enclave in life, management and combat."
"You said the word 'assist', right?"
"Yes, Advisor Geidema."
"Are Major Hartman and I, and the soldiers behind me the only remaining Enclave members in the area?"
According to Marvin's observation and the feedback from the team members, there is no living person on the upper three floors of the White Spring Bunker, and it is estimated that there is probably no one below.
"Yes, Advisor Geidema."
"Am I the only civilian member in the area?"
"Yes, Counselor Geidema."
"Well, I'm going to run for the regional council. Any questions?"
"Uh..." Modus was rarely stuck, and then he had to answer truthfully, "No problem."
"Okay, I'll vote for myself." Marvin turned to the boys in the shelter and said, "All of you vote for me. It will be done soon."
Although Letty didn't understand, it didn't stop her from speaking as agreed in advance: "I vote for Marvin."
With the captain taking the lead, the others naturally followed suit.
Marvin turned around and said, "Modus, I now have 100% support. Is that right?"
"Yes, Councillor Goydema."
"According to Article 78 of the Enclave Election Act, I can skip the verification and questioning procedures and become a councillor of this region directly. Is that okay?"
"Yes, Advisor Goydema."
"Then, Modus, please modify my powers and authority. Immediately."
"Okay, sir... You are now a Councillor of Goydema, enjoying level 6 treatment and level 6 government authority..."
[Tip: The mission "White Spring Bunker (Second Ring)" has been completed. The reward will be settled after all links are completed. ]
[Task Tip: White Spring Bunker (Third Ring). Enter the fourth floor of White Spring Bunker and explore all areas on the fourth floor. Mission time limit: 3 days. ]
Because it is a government authority, Marvin cannot go to the military zone yet. It doesn't matter, Marvin's operation is not over yet.
"Modus, is this Major Hartman next to me the highest military commander in this region?"
"Yes, Senator."
"Okay, I will exercise my powers as a Senator now. In view of the fact that the White Spring Bunker has been in a high state of combat readiness and the situation is critical, I hereby promote Letty Hartman to general. Please modify Letty Hartman's rank and authority."
"Modified. Congratulations on your promotion to general, Senator Letty Hartman."
"Yeah!" Letty was the first to jump up, and the others applauded.
Marvin turned around and whispered something to Letty. The woman nodded, walked to the terminal, and said with a straight face: "Modus."
"Yes, General Hartman."
"In view of the poor current situation and... oh, yes, and the high state of combat readiness in this region, considering the current serious shortage of military strength. I allow all military areas to be opened to Congressman Geidema so that... so that the Congressman has enough weapons for self-protection."
Modus replied: "Understood, General. The authority of Congressman Geidema has been modified. At present, Congressman Goidema has level 6 political authority and level 6 military authority."
Marvin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got it done. This is the result of his two and a half days of studying the rules and regulations, and thanks to his high mental strength, he would not be able to remember so many clauses.
Letty gave a big hug, "Wow! You are awesome."
After sighing, she also stole a kiss, which made the titanium alloy straight man quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, Modus's voice came to the rescue: "Member Geidema, General Hartman, please move to the fourth-floor command center. I will introduce the core functions of Baiquan to you two. Other members can go to the restaurant to eat and wait."
The two followed Modus's guidance and entered the fourth floor from the elevator.
[Tip: The mission "Baiquan Bunker (Third Ring)" has been completed. The reward will be settled after all links are completed. ]
[Task Tip: Baiquan Bunker (Fourth Ring), all artificial intelligence hosts, large server units, and database arrays in the bunker are contained. The mission time limit is 6 hours. ]
[Tip: Conflicts between the mission "Baiquan Bunker (Fourth Ring)" and the mission "Corpse Virus" are detected, and the mission time is modified...]
[Task Tip: Baiquan Bunker (Fourth Ring), all artificial intelligence hosts, large server units, and database arrays in the bunker are contained. Mission time limit: before leaving this world. ]
Marvin's mind turned quickly and he figured out the reason.
If these things in the bunker are contained now, Baiquan Bunker will inevitably be paralyzed, and even entry and exit will become a problem.
Marvin himself is bound to be suspected by the people in the shelter, and coupled with the legacy of the disappearance of the Banks team, it will be extremely difficult to cooperate with the shelter in the future.
Although he already knows the location of the nest and is confident that he can kill all the scorched beasts and cubs by himself, it will be too time-consuming and time-consuming to do so.
It is not suitable to turn against the shelter now.
It seems that the learning machine is very smart and can calculate such a deep-level task conflict.
While thinking, Marvin followed Modus's guidance calmly and finally came to a large conference room.
There is a huge pentagonal conference table in the center of the conference room, an electronic map on the wall, a row of tables and chairs with terminals against the wall, and a raider robot standing in the corner.
This is a humanoid robot similar to a female body, about 1.6 meters tall, and different weapons can be installed on the hands to perform different tasks.
Modus's voice came from the ceiling of the conference room: "Mr. Congressman, General, welcome to the command center."
Marvin walked to the window opposite the door and looked out. There was a large stepped space below.
Just like the command center with a huge screen that you often see in military or science fiction movies.
In fact, the real "command center" is the conference room where he is.
Regardless of whether the action is just or evil, the real "big shot" will hold a beautiful glass, sit in the conference room and give orders, overlooking the staff below, and waiting for the results of the front-line soldiers' actions.
Modus continued to mutter: "Here, you two can handle all the affairs of Appalachia, including resident surveys, biological distribution, radio propaganda, combat deployment and even... biological extinction."
Marvin curled his lips and turned to sit in front of the terminal.
"Can it really be done? Who will handle it? Rely on robots?"
"Ahem..." An artificial intelligence can actually cough "Senator Geidema, our current situation is a bit... complicated, but it will get better after all."
Modus continued: "In fact, inviting you two to the command center requires you to understand your new functions. Please read the documents in the terminal carefully and abide by the confidentiality code. I wish you two a happy work..."
Both Marvin and Letty sat in front of the terminal, flipping through the information page by page...
There is a lot of content, including the knowledge base, archives, equipment library, daily supplies, etc. in the White Spring Bunker, dozens of directories and thousands of pages.
"Hey, Marvin, I found the nuclear bomb information!" Letty exclaimed quietly beside him.
"I saw it. Congratulations, your mission is almost complete."
There are three nuclear missile silos in Appalachia, where the exact location and complete and detailed nuclear missile launch process are recorded. Marvin has taken photos of the nuclear missile-related information.
There is a lot of information, and there are a lot of daily necessities. In contrast, the arsenal of the White Spring Bunker is almost empty, with only a little material and small-powered firearms left.
Seeing the equipment catalog of the arsenal, Marvin has a new idea.
"Modus, we have been in the highest state of combat readiness for a long time now. Can't I get weapons and other equipment through wartime regulations?"
Letty's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she propped up her chin and waited for Modus's reply.
"Sorry, Councillor Geidema. The basic rules were established when White Spring was put into use. In order to avoid wasting resources and exchanging resources with the outside world, all members' armament requirements, except for basic daily necessities, need to be purchased with conventional currency."
Marvin understood a little bit. If you can get it for free, then it is almost inevitable to discard it and waste it at will.
In addition, the White Spring Bunker needs to ensure that resources are in and out in order to maintain it for a long time.
With a certain amount of conventional currency, he could buy extra supplies from the wasteland residents.
After figuring this out, Marvin did not continue to ask questions and continued to read the information. In addition to nuclear bombs, there were many things that interested him.
Letty was a little disappointed, but she was optimistic and cheerful by nature, so she soon stopped caring.
After roughly browsing through thousands of pages of documents, the two of them walked around the fourth floor separately.
Marvin found Modus's host, which was no longer a host.
The underground space of hundreds of square meters was completely enclosed, and the situation inside could only be seen through the bulletproof glass of the equipment room.
The huge square host almost filled half of the secret room, and the walls were simply made up of electronic equipment. Various lights flashed constantly, and there were two annihilator sentinels patrolling inside.
In addition, Marvin also found the database array and server unit.
After turning off all containment prompts, Marvin and Letty returned to the third floor.
Letty looked at the catalog on the terminal and sighed: "Ah! So many blueprints, but they are so expensive."
The trading terminal listed a long list of catalogs, including Gauss rifles, plasma pistols, M60 light machine guns, 450 flamethrowers, plasma grenades, plasma mines, X01 power armor, etc.
Marvin nodded, "It's really too expensive, so I don't recommend buying blueprints."
He won't spend bottle caps to buy blueprints from here again, he has other ways.
Letty's shoulders slumped, "Oh, well, I can't afford it anyway... I'll record it first."
Soon, she recovered her vitality and said, "We have to go back, Marvin."
"Okay."
The two left the White Spring Bunker together.
...
More and more shelter teams came to White Spring and settled down.
The crazy ghouls and other monsters wandering around the resort were cleared out.
The strange buildings gradually connected into a large area, occupying a small half of the lawn.
Because the location of the nuclear missile silo has been found, Hartman's team also suspended the mission and began to collect supplies everywhere.
The supervisor went to the Atlas Observatory to discuss the issue of eliminating the scorched beast with the Paladin Paladin Tagti. Meg from the crater and Paige, the leader of the foundation, also participated.
The supervisor shared the blueprint of the new weapon with the other three without asking for any reward.
Her sincere attitude touched the three people. The Brotherhood of Steel agreed to send 3 teams of 18 people and a small amount of supplies, 4 people from the crater and some ammunition and medicines, and 3 people from the foundation, and took half of the materials.
Two weeks later, the four parties will jointly send 40 people and 40 power armors to jointly attack the glass mine.
The current amount of supplies is not enough, especially the rare materials needed to make new weapons.
For example, nuclear raw materials, black titanium alloys, special plastics, special glass, and some special chemical raw materials.
Marvin did not participate in picking up garbage, he had other things to do.
On the second day before the mission deadline, Marvin went to the glass mine and explored Cave C to complete the mission.
[Task prompt: "Scorch Virus (Second Ring)" has been completed. The reward will be settled after all stages are completed. ]
[Prompt: Scorch Virus (Third Ring). Eliminate all scorchbeasts and cubs, and eliminate the scorchbeast queen. Mission deadline: 20 days. ]
Why is there a scorchbeast queen? A more powerful scorchbeast?
He remembered a scene he had seen in the glass mine. The chest armor of a T60 was crushed by a huge claw...
Marvin's physical attributes can exceed 50 because he is favored by the world.
Ordinary scorched beasts are almost at the world's extreme value. If there are really more powerful monsters...
He is a little confused.
