Sure enough, as soon as he heard Knight's words, Madison Lee, the director of the Advanced Systems Department, stood up suddenly and said loudly with an angry look on his face: "What do you mean? Do you want to say that it is our responsibility that the situation has become like this?"
?"
Knight waved his hand and said: "That's not the case. I want to protect you. The enemies we face this time are no small matter. In the past, most of the enemies the academy faced were just ordinary people. Laser guns were enough.
.But now our enemy is completely different! Whether it is the power armor of the Brotherhood of Steel or the tanks that appear on the Volunteer Army, our problem of serious lack of firepower has been amplified..."
As he spoke, he stared at everyone present and slowly concluded, "In other words, gentlemen, although we pride ourselves on having the most advanced technology in the world, there is no doubt that we have fallen behind.
"
"The technology of the academy represents the direction of the evolution of all mankind! It is definitely not comparable to those crude tanks and power armor!" Dr. Higgs said loudly.
Knight ignored him and turned to Madison Lee and asked: "What can we do now about weapons?"
"The only thing that can be effective in a short time is to increase the power of our laser weapons. But you know, our laser weapons are made of plastic. If the power is increased, the possibility of the gun melting will greatly increase! And...
"Madison Lee said, looking in Sean's direction with some embarrassment.
"And what?" Knight asked.
"And this will further strain our energy supply, and facilities in many parts of the college will have to be temporarily shut down." Madison-Lee said.
"Shutdown? This is absolutely impossible! The genetic samples I saved will be completely destroyed once the machine shuts down!" Dr. Higgs said loudly.
"This is war, Dr. Higgs." Knight looked at the other party seriously and said slowly: "If you can't survive, then everything is empty talk! So now, except for synthetic human manufacturing and weapon manufacturing, everything else
All regional facilities must be shut down to concentrate energy!”
"You are...robbery!!" Higgs roared angrily, "You have no idea what the research projects in our hands mean to mankind!!"
"What I am doing is to let you survive as much as possible. As for the other things, I don't want to think about it. But you can change your perspective. I must ensure your lives so that you can continue to shine for scientific research. Yes.
Right?" Knight's tone was very flat.
"Holy Father! He..." Higgs turned to Sean and shouted.
"Nate is now the leader of the academy, and this is his decision." Sean said calmly. His eyes were fixed on Nate as he spoke, and his deep gaze seemed to see through him, "I believe you can
It’s my father who leads the academy out of this predicament.”
Knight nodded, turned around and looked at the screen in the command center.
At this moment, suddenly there was a terrible roar from the rock formation above! Everyone present looked horrified, and they saw that the water glasses they placed in front of them were shaking with the loud noise!!
"It's Chun Yuyan...he started..." Knight said quietly, with a very complicated tone and indescribable emotions.
…
On the ground, the old site of the Federal Polytechnic is being bulldozed one by one. Six excavators are lined up in different directions, digging out the cement floor that has become fragile after 200 years of wind and rain, and then starting to excavate the ground below.
soil.
After the soil layer was hollowed out, three mining-specific drilling machines also came over and set up the brackets. The rollers in front reached into the excavated holes and rotated rapidly to break up the hard rock layers, and then passed through with the hopper.
A conveyor belt brings the gravel up.
Even at night, the volunteers set up more than a dozen industrial searchlights around the construction site, illuminating the entire construction site as if it were daytime.
The excavation work lasted for three days. During these three days, the roar of machinery almost never stopped. They even used explosives in some relatively solid places!
The rumbling explosion sounded like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts!
For the volunteers, this is the drum of victory! But for the college, this is the death knell of failure!
Chunyu Yan and Yiyi stood quietly aside, watching the excavation site in full swing. In fact, he took advantage of Knight's ability to become the leader of the college in this battle, and created a time lag. He used Knight's presence at the scene
Only by command can the academy devote a large number of synthetics, including elite Eradicator troops, to fight against the Brotherhood of Steel, which will greatly consume the effective strength of both sides.
But in fact, even so, the Academy is almost no match for the Brotherhood of Steel. If Chun Yuyan hadn't made a fuss about the fact that Paladin Danse is a synthetic human and caused the morale of the Brotherhood of Steel to collapse, the Brotherhood of Steel might even have taken over the Academy's
The army pushed back! This shows how powerful the Brotherhood of Steel is!
And even for the academy, if they are not allowed to consume a large number of elite troops in a short period of time, then once the war is extended, with their endless army of synthetics, the volunteers are likely to suffer a brutal blow. After all, if the academy loses face,
Otherwise, the synthetic army, which can use molecular teleportation to instantly reach any place in the Federation, is definitely a nightmare for the volunteers!
What's more, if the college gets a beryllium oscillator, then after they complete the controllable nuclear fusion reactor, the production speed of synthetic humans will not only be dumplings, but really rice!
Therefore, this battle seems easy, but there are only a few days to achieve it, and if Knight does not become the leader of the academy, it will be even more difficult. To defeat the academy, there is no one more suitable than the academy itself.
The academy is like a violent BOSS. Once the delay is too long and the violent mode is turned on, you can only wait for the group to be destroyed.
"After defeating the academy, what are you going to do with them?" Preston came over and said.
"If it were you, how would you deal with it?" Chunyu Yan asked.
"The academy has committed heinous crimes against the residents of the Federation! Kidnapping, murder, massacre of villages, human experiments... Such organizations are a cancer of the Federation! If they are allowed to exist, sooner or later they will heal their scars and forget the pain, and come back again.
!So, I want to completely destroy the college!" Preston said through gritted teeth.
"The scientists in the academy are still useful to me. I will take them out of the Federation and work under strict control. Therefore, the bombs you prepared can be saved." Chunyu Yan said.
"In the battle to defeat the academy, you took the greatest credit. It is your right to decide the future of those in the academy." Preston nodded.
Just as he was talking, suddenly there was a crashing sound from the excavation site! Then there was a burst of cheers from the soldiers!
Chun Yuyan quickly walked over with Yiyi, only to see that after digging more than 30 meters deep, the drilling machine seemed to have dug through a ceiling, which suddenly collapsed with a crash, revealing a large hole with a diameter of 5 or 6 meters!
