After the parliament's decision, Wang Yang was not imprisoned because of his injuries, and for those who have already stepped into the door of death with half a foot, it makes no difference where he is. However, due to Wang Yang's supernatural powers, the council still sent a sufficient number of guards, and although even Speaker Haman did not believe that Wang Yang had the motive or necessity to escape from prison, Commander Locke stood firm.

The medical area is as usual, but it has changed from a semi-open to a heavily guarded area, and there are even two APU combat mechs in front of the door.

"Why?" Morpheus looked at Wang Yang, and it was difficult to hide his pain in the complexity.

"What do you mean?" Wang Yang asked rhetorically while accepting a new round of inspections.

"All of them." Morpheus's voice suddenly raised, "What exactly have you been through at Matrix?" Why is it almost a different person? And most importantly, if the collapse of the Matrix is really your fault, why let so many compatriots fall into a desperate situation? Neo said you are pursuing your own way, Wang Yang, is this your way? Let the whole Matrix be buried with you, they are your siblings! What are they in your eyes? ”

Wang Yang glanced at Morpheus: "There is such a saying in our Eastern culture: under the saints, they are all ants. ”

"You-" Morpheus was so angry that he almost jumped.

Wang Yang suddenly asked: "Do you know how many life forms can survive and reproduce with the current total amount of vitality on the earth?" ”

Morpheus hesitated for a moment, temporarily restraining his anger: "How much?" ”

Wang Yang raised an index finger: "One million." ”

Morpheus changed color in shock: "Impossible! If so, why are those humans living in the Matrix able to survive? ”

Wang Yang sneered: "Because they are just batteries that produce biological energy, only a minimum energy cycle is enough." But the real human beings are different, the way of human beings, the more the loss is more than enough, the more human beings, the faster this imbalance, originally with the scientific and technological process of human beings, you can rely on interstellar colonization to solve this problem - just like the spread of the virus, but the war with the machine interrupted this process, those decision-makers who scorched the sky are really wise, the great cycle of vitality is ended, and all life on this planet is left to survive. ”

Morpheus was shocked: "Does the Yuan Qi really exist?" ”

Wang Yang said lightly: "There is an idiom in the Oriental word called vitality injury, since you know acupuncture, you should know the meaning, which refers to personal health; At the level of a country and a nation, if the population casualties are too large, the resources are consumed too much, and the national strength is lost too much, it will also be called a great loss of vitality; In the same way, why can't the earth have vitality? If you think it's too ethereal, I can put it another way, you can think of the metaverse as an energy cycle field composed of the earth's air, water, sunlight, electromagnetic fields and biosphere, this field has a delicate and delicate balance, the greenhouse effect can destroy it, the chemical changes in the oceans can pollute it, the unconventional acceleration of the extinction process can alienate it, the fewer elements that support it, the less resources and energy can be absorbed by humans, how far do you think this energy field is from collapse with the current state of the earth? ”

Morpheus's head was dripping with cold sweat, Zion was built near the earth's core, and the earth had long become a piece of honeycomb coal, and the time before his death could be imagined.

Neo took over: "What's the solution?" ”

Wang Yang spread his hands: "One is to continue to let those batteries stay in the factory and not participate in the large energy field cycle. ”

Neo blurted out: "It's absolutely impossible! ”

“OK！” Wang Yang had already predicted, "The second is to reduce the factors that destroy the large energy field as much as possible, so that the energy cycle can be separated from exhaustion and fishing, and return to a sustainable state, waiting for the day when the earth's vitality will recover." ”

Neo and Morpheus were silent, in fact, everyone knew that the earth could no longer support billions of people, and if they wanted the race to continue, they had to make trade-offs, but no one dared to bring it up, not even if it was the collective decision of 250,000 people in Zion. Billions, they will live in nightmares every day for the rest of their lives.

Looking at Neo and Morpheus, who had a bitter face, Wang Yang said word by word: "Since you can't get rid of the consequences of this choice, and you can't bear the responsibility of letting the entire human race go extinct, then, I'll do it." ”

After a long time, Morpheus asked in a hoarse voice, "Wang Yang, I know you hate Matrix, but is there really no other way?" Remember that there is a silver lining in Eastern culture? Why can't you try to give them a chance to live? To this day, Morpheus still thinks that Wang Yang chose to die because he hated being deceived by Matrix too much.

Wang Yang smiled and said, "Hate? No, I don't hate anyone, not even machines. When you stand at the height of the whole level of life, you will know that life is not picky about matter, human beings want to survive and reproduce, and machines want to upgrade and evolve, this is the instinct of life, but we and they are all in the wrong direction. ”

Neo asked curiously, "What do you mean?" ”

Wang Yang said lightly: "Before the Second Renaissance, the center of the world was in Europe and the United States, and the development model established by the white people became dominant. Yes, they have made great strides in some areas, but their minds have not been sufficiently civilized, and they remain stuck in the bandit culture left to them by their blood-drinking ancestors. They use their power to forcibly incorporate the whole world into the system they have created, they flaunt their weapons like nouveau riche, they think they are superior to all other civilizations, but in reality, they are like children who have accidentally gained great power, flaunting their strength, not knowing that one foot has stepped into the brink of destruction! As a civilization, they do not possess the wisdom to dominate the great power that modern industrial civilization has bestowed upon them! This congenital malformation pattern dooms them to destruction! The machine intelligence created by them also inadvertently inherited this kind of thinking, and the result of the collision of the two bandits' minds was that everyone finished playing together, which is the retribution that Western civilization can never escape, except that at the same time, they have dragged the whole world into hell. ”

Morpheus didn't feel anything, after all, it was a thing hundreds of years ago, but Neo couldn't sit still, although his experience in Matrix was just a dream, but it was also made up based on real history. Traced back to his roots, he is also a member of Western civilization. He coughed, "Not really, right?" If Western civilization can create so many miracles and wealth, how can it lead the world to destruction? ”

Wang Yang sneered: "The essence of the Western civilization model is to fish with all its might, it is a deformed model that excessively absorbs the surrounding resources for the core to grow at a rapid pace, and it is a model that develops the way of man to extreme paranoia; In the Eastern civilization, whether it is the Chinese civilization in the Yellow River or the Indian civilization in the Ganges River basin, they attach great importance to balanced development and spiritual sublimation; This is true of the unity of heaven and man in Chinese Taoism, the uneven suffering of Confucianism, and India even embarked on the spiritual path of wisdom beyond material (if it were not for Xuanzang, India would have almost no history). What's more, the miracles of Western civilization and the origin and destination of wealth are all for profit, and there is no thinking that is detached from reality and interests, and the stronger the power, the greater the risk of getting out of control. ”

Neo was a little confused: "Aren't you also looking for power?" ”

Wang Yang's heart suddenly flashed the last of Trinity's back, which instantly shattered all his tough tenderness and beauty, and he said leisurely: "Yes, I didn't understand until not long ago that above strength, there must be moving; No matter how strong the will to fight is, it can only harness the power, and only the emotion from the depths of the soul can truly turn the power into one's own use. This is compassion for the world to be soft, galloping the world to be rigid. ”

Neo's heart moved, as if he had thought of something, and muttered to himself: "Find strength in moving。。。。。。 ”

At this time, Morpheus, who had been thinking for a long time, finally spoke: "If you wish, I can apply directly to the council to invite you back to the Nebuchadnezzar." "This is a tradition that has been passed down in the West since the time of Roman Greece: to make meritorious deeds. More importantly, if Wang Yang really dies soon, it is an honor to die on the battlefield, but it is a great shame to die in prison. This is also the last thing that Morpheus can do for Wang Yang. Of course, it can be expected that an unprecedentedly fierce conflict will break out between him and Commander Locke.

Wang Yang couldn't help but be in awe, as a leader, Morpheus's personality charm is definitely not under Zheng Zha, and the art of leadership is enough to throw off Zheng Zha. But he still refused: "I really don't need to." This war is coming to an end, and we all have the same enemy, both in Zion and elsewhere. And I have a hunch that my opportunity is in Zion. Morpheus, you're a great leader, do what you have to do, and don't worry about me. ”

Morpheus wanted to say something more, but the soldier in front of the door walked in: "Sir, it's time to visit." ”

Morpheus frowned: "So fast? ”

Dr. Xavier also stood up and persuaded him: "Morpheus, the visiting time is what I suggested to the council, Wang Yang must save every ounce of energy, five minutes is enough time. ”

Morpheus isn't a muddy guy either: "Okay. Then he turned to Wang Yang, "Whatever happens, remember that you will always be a member of the Nebuchadnezzar." ”

Wang Yang smiled and stretched out his hand: "Of course." ”

The two big hands were clasped tightly together.
