Chapter 65 The Development of the DC Brotherhood of Steel
(Thanks to Andychoi for his reward...I am an old reader, your support is the motivation for me to keep updating)
After approaching the completion of the two main tasks of "sweeping away the remnants of Increment" and "clearing super mutants and violent zombies that threaten the safety of wasteland residents", the Iron and Steel Brotherhood of the SAR tried to use pre-war people's livelihood technology to build a new stronghold.
There are two core technologies in this stronghold, both related to Poole. One of them is another "Eden Creator" found by Poole based on the map clues left by Leeds and others. This time it plays the function of the original design to make the polluted land fertile and suitable for planting. The remaining one is Poole's concrete manufacturing technology and pre-war construction technology. This new stronghold is no longer built of broken piles moved from elsewhere.
The development of agriculture requires water and land. No matter how powerful the Garden of Eden Creator is, it cannot take effect on the hard concrete roads. Considering that it cannot be too far from the camp of the Five Corps and makes it lose support, the Brotherhood of Steel decided to set this stronghold in the area south of the nuclear bomb town, which is close to the water source and retains a large amount of land.
The construction process was a bit twists and turns, but with complete pre-war technical information as the basis and the assistance of the technicians of the Steel Brotherhood technicians, the basic skeleton of this stronghold was soon formed. According to Leeds, these are small and broken houses that are "unsightly to death" like matchboxes, but in the eyes of the wasteland residents, these are brand new new houses without the smell of war!
This new stronghold is different from the usual "front supply station for warriors", but is an attempt to "absorb wasteland vagrants and start a new route to the Iron and Steel Brotherhood". For wasteland vagrants who choose to join the Iron and Steel Brotherhood, their obligation is to obey the management of the Iron and Steel Brotherhood, cultivate or breed on the assigned land and pay part of the gains as taxes. Their right is to be able to live in these houses, be protected by the Iron and Steel Brotherhood, and obtain or produce land or livestock.
Everyone has their own opinions on this tax ratio. Some people think that this is the tyranny of the Brotherhood of Steel. They should not collect bottle caps to give them food, drink and live for free. Some people think that what they need is freedom and do not need a manager on their heads. Some people think that having such a tough backstage can stand up. It is worth handing over some bottle caps, and living is the most important thing... Anyway, Brotherhood of Steel does not force it, just advertise casually. Some people rush to ask for these houses.
How smooth the wasteland residents should expect in the early stages of their stay. The average quality of the wasteland people is very guaranteed from a negative perspective. However, as the knights in power armor maintained order again and again, they finally learned to calm down. It was a long time later that the land improved by the "Eden Creator" combined with the seeds of pre-war plants it contained. Crops - wheat, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, apple trees (seedlings), etc. Being sure, most of the first harvest was preserved as seeds of the extended farm, but Poole still decided to spread a small part to share with the citizens... Perhaps the food and clothing that solved the food and clothing of a meal, but please don't underestimate the impact of the "fresh ingredients" on the wasteland people who were used to the food and flesh of mutant creatures two hundred years ago. They saw the "future" in this stronghold!
Since then, the atmosphere of the stronghold has changed and development has begun to accelerate. In terms of agriculture, the Brotherhood of Steel no longer needs to supervise the farming of wastelanders. The most important problem now is "how to fertilize more land". No matter how magical the role of the Creator of the Garden of Eden is, it is ultimately "consumable"; in terms of breeding, it is unfortunate that there are no animal embryos in the Creator of the Garden of Eden, so only two-headed cattle, bighorn sheep and mutant elk that can be cultivated are three relatively docile mutant creatures; in terms of basic buildings, Poole gradually improves the stronghold according to the "city" seen from the TV in the temporary villa in Leeds, the flat streets, tap water pipes, excrement pipes, functional building divisions, and even the roadside planting inside the Brotherhood criticized the "what's the meaning?"
This new stronghold gradually evolved from a "Brother of Steel" to a "Brother of Steel City". In the end, even the most stubborn conservatives who were suppressed by Elder Ryan yelled, "Why can wastelanders live in such a beautiful city, and we elders can only hide in the Five Corner Camp against gravel and rusty iron?!", and then moved all the equipment and supplies to "Brother City". The Pentagon Camp became a "Washington, DC supply base."
...Well, they may still be obsessed with studying war technology, new power armor, plasma weapons, bird-type helicopters obtained from Incredible, but in the eyes of the members of the Iron Brotherhood in other regions, they are already a rebellious member.

"Wow, pregnant women don't need to come out on purpose~~" After introducing Poole's tour guide, Leeds and others, who finally knew the development history of "Brother City", just walked into a pre-war building guarded by a knight. When they saw a blonde woman walking up with a big belly.
"Hmph, this thing is not a problem for the leader of Ryan's glory group!" It was naturally Sarah Ryan who was erect. A tomboy who could walk onto the battlefield would still be a tomboy even if she was about to be someone else's mother.
"Well, Poole, are you sure you don't have to care about your daughter or son?" Lyon said with a wry smile.
"Haha... I've been like this all the time... It's better to say that it's the limit to let her not wear power armor..." The child's father said he was helpless.
"Pole, it was a few months ago that I said I would wear power armor... Even I wouldn't be so irresponsible." Sarah said expressionlessly.
"Ah hahaha~~" Although there are two Charm 10 partners who compete for favorability, one has his own wife and the other has run around in order to get good equipment and the other has run around in the wasteland. The young man of Poole finally won the beauty. Now, he is about to upgrade from husband to father.
"Haha, don't worry, Poole, I will let Sarah never have the chance to wear power armor from now on..." Elder Ryan also walked out with a bunch of guards... He was originally "he was getting stronger", now he looks more like he is "just till he is about to die", after all, he is at this age.
"Elder!"
"At this time, I should call my father... Huh, the new elder cannot always rush to the front line."
"……………” Sarah actually felt that Poole was more suitable to be an elder, but... she could only be able to subdue the diehards of the Iron Brotherhood, as Elder Ryan's biological daughter.
"Sorry, let you hear annoying family quarrels..." Elder Ryan stretched out his hand, "Long time no see, a friend from another world."
"Long time no see, elder," although he did not admire the old man like the people of the Iron Brotherhood, but he did not have any places that Leeds hated, so he was very polite when he replied, "Although we were planning to go on the West Coast, we also chose the time points for you to act similarly through 'pray' when we traveled, but let's put this aside in advance~"
"——It doesn't matter if you disturb me for a few days~~?"
Chapter completed!
