Now that that's taken care of, ti to get to work, but first let activate Adeptus chanicus so I can help speed up the rate of the manufacturing machines repair.
Willing a field of invisible energy into existence, it began to repair the nearby manufacturing machines at an incredibly slow but nonetheless still noticeable pace.
With the ability active now, I observed the field of energy repairing the nearby machinery for the next several minutes to see how it worked and how much ti it could cut off of my previous estimate of about a week. Standing there for the next several minutes, I ca to the conclusion that it could probably reduce the repair ti by about two days, which is a welco improvent over the original one week estimate.
From that new repair estimate, I can use that extra ti to go visit that VSS Facility, the one that shouldn't have a single brotherhood outcast at it this ti. Because they shouldn't have been established until the year 2276, though I don't know what month. And if I don't go to the VSS Facility, I could go check out the nearby tro station to see what I'm working with there for my eventual expansion.
That said, I'm currently leaning more towards the VSS Facility for the simple fact that it should have an intact and untouched armory, along with a suit of power armor, a Chinese Stealth Suit, and a gauss rifle. And if that ends up being the case, it would increase my combat power by a huge margin, so hopefully, all that gear is still sitting there waiting to be claid, otherwise I'll be incredibly disappointed.
When I was finished thinking about what I was going to do with those two extra days I just freed up, I finally got to work making all the parts I was going to need for the turrets.
Six hours later, I ended up doing everything from fabricating armor for the turrets to getting the gatling chanisms put together and what I received for my efforts was a total of ten gatling laser turrets that each weighed well over 100 pounds.
Also, from what I've tested so far, the gatling laser turrets should have no issue dealing a ton of damage and receiving a ton of damage. Since they basically have the equivalent firepower of six souped-up laser rifles each, as well as enough armor to shrug off .50 caliber rounds or even rounds that are slightly larger and more powerful. That latter bit has yet to be tested, so that's only my speculation at this point, but if I'm going off the thickness of the plates, that should be the case here.
Other than that, we've almost got a second robot manufacturing machine fully repaired. But that was not all. I also had so of the worker bots diverted to set up my other automated manufacturing machines. So now different types of ammo are being manufactured along with an assortnt of different parts, ranging from parts for weapons to parts that will be used to produce more automated manufacturing machines, that will further improve my production capabilities.
Growl
Ohh, my stomach is informing that it's ti for lunch. Guess I better go get sothing to eat and while I'm having lunch, the worker bots should be able to get that second machine up and running before I get back.
With food on my mind, I walked away from the production area back towards the loading area where Hauler was parked. When I got there, I climbed into his cabin to make myself a high-protein al.
An hour later, I finished my lunch and got a small workout in, thus I headed back to the manufacturing area of my facility to resu my crafting of even more turrets to bolster this place's defenses. When I was nearing the area, I noticed through chu-deru that my worker bots had just finished repairing the second machine, making my previous estimate spot on.
I suppose using chu-deru on all those robots has made so substantial improvents in my ability to make calculations and estimations.
As I was entering the area, a fresh new worker bot was just completed, so I walked up to it and used chu-deru on it before sending it to help the others in repairing the remaining eight manufacturing machines.
The mont I was done handling that, I headed back over to the workshop area and returned to work on fabricating more parts for the gatling laser turrets.
Around six hours into my work, I was interrupted from said work by my stomach once again crying out for nutrients. Thus, I decided to take a break, get sothing to eat, and give everyone back in Vault 101 a call to see what they were up to and to inform them that I was doing just fine.
It took a bit to get to the loading area, but when I got there eventually, I hopped into Hauler's cabin again. And this ti, instead of getting sothing to eat imdiately, I pulled out my radio and made a call. A few seconds went by before my dad answered the call, asking how I'd been doing.
"Hey, son, how have you been handling the wasteland?"
"Not too bad, dad. I've been having a pretty good ti getting this RobCo facility up and running, though on my way here I did encounter a couple of groups of raiders that I took care of with no issue. Other than that, the only other thing I had to handle was 20 bloatflies and one Yao Guai, but those also didn't really present any challenge at all, either." I replied before dad took the wheel of the conversation again after I heard a sigh of relief.
Sigh
"Well son, for any normal wastelander, those threats you just casually ntioned would be lethal, but I'm glad you handled them without issue and are safe and sound. Nevertheless, do try to stay away from anything you don't think you can handle since you've only got one life, son. And I don't think I can handle another loss." Dad said in warning.
"Okay, I promise I won't do anything stupid. Ohh and that reminds , dad. Was mom buried and if so where since I would like to go visit her grave?" I asked while I was thinking about the possibility of bringing the won who brought into this world back from the dead, even though it would cost half my lifespan.
Several seconds of radio silence later, dad ca back and said in a sowhat saddened tone that then turned into a sowhat serious one by the end. "Your mother is buried on the south side of Jefferson morial with a tombstone marking its location. I'm sure she'll be glad that you're visiting her, son. Just be extrely careful when you venture out into that direction because the downtown DC ruins are a well-known hotspot for all kinds of dangers ranging from super mutants to swarms of feral ghouls."
"Alright, I'll be sure to be extra careful when I decide to venture over to that area and if I et anything that I think I won't be able to handle, I'll make a speedy strategic retreat." I responded after he told the location of where my later mother was buried before I then continued to ask him how he and everyone else was doing.
"Pretty good actually, we all got together to have dinner, so everyone is currently here at our ho. I can also see your girlfriend here is eagerly waiting to talk to you as well." He said with a bit of a chuckle while I could practically see Amata's face glowing red.
"Other than that, everything's been the sa as usual. Alright, I'm gonna hand the radio off to Amata, now so you guys can talk for a bit."
"I'll talk to you later, dad."
"Yep, I'll talk to you later, son, stay out of trouble." Dad replied lastly before handing over the radio to very eager Amata.
Around 10 minutes after that, I finally got off the radio with Amata and started making myself so dinner. As soon as it was ready, I began eating while going over what I got done in the last six hours of work.
I managed to finish up another ten gatling laser turrets over this six-hour period of work, and while I was doing that, my worker bots and the energy field I was emitting repaired a good percentage of the third manufacturing machine. So it shouldn't be long before it's completely repaired, hopefully by the ti I get up in the morning.
All in all, not bad progress, though I should be able to get another ten gatling laser turrets done by the ti I hit the hay. On top of that, another two worker bots should also roll off the production line by that ti as well.
Done thinking for the anti, I focused my full attention on the food in front of and finished my al. And right as I finished, I got myself cleaned up a bit and headed back over to the manufacturing area to resu working for the following six hours.
Once I was done fabricating parts for the day, I went around the whole facility to find where I wanted to set up my workout area. After exploring for a bit, I ended up deciding to go with putting it in the basent since there's a ton of free space down there. Done figuring that out, I finally hit the hay for the night at around 2:00 AM give or take a few minutes.
