Then, it was as if everything was back on track. The next day, while Mauss was babbling about his theory of natural humanity with a slimy breakfast in his hand, Morpheus entered.

"Dauser, after eating, drive the boat up for teleportation, everyone is ready to enter the Matrix, I'm going to take them to see her."

After listening to Morpheus, everyone in the restaurant couldn't hide the excitement on their faces, only Neo didn't understand and asked, "Who are we going to see?" ”

"Who else?" Wang Yang replied lazily, "Look at their expressions, you still don't understand?" Prophet. ”

================================= dividing line of fate =================================

When Wang Yang entered the Matrix, in fact, the person he was most looking forward to meeting was not Neo, not Morpheus, or even anyone, but the mother of Matrix, the prophet who guided Neo on the path of savior and promoted the peace of machines and humans at the expense of himself.

According to the original purpose of the Matrix, the Prophet was compiled for the same purpose as Neo, that is, to ensure the stability of the Matrix, to detect human emotions, and to complete the self-upgrading of the Matrix. Like the Savior, the Prophet is designed according to the core of the Matrix, with super-powerful functions and powers that can determine the survival of the Matrix. She doesn't have a battle program in her code, so she can't fight, but she has a super ability to retrieve Matrix. Thanks to her powerful engine, she can anticipate everything that will happen to Matrix. The name of the prophet is Oracle, and in Greek, this word means the messenger of God's intentions in addition to the meaning of the prophet; For the machine world, the prophet is the transmitter of the designer's intentions.

It can be said that the Prophet was originally a program identical to Matrix's three agents, and she was supposed to have no feelings, just carrying out the designer's orders. But because one of her missions is to detect human feelings, she, like the Indian couple and the Frenchman Merovinga, gradually develop human feelings in contact with humans. From the movie, her sincere love and sadness for Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity, as well as her love for the little Indian Sasu, can prove this. She developed a strong affection for Zion after witnessing five times of Zion's affectionate human rebels being killed without mercy.

However, it is not easy.

If peace is to be achieved in the Matrix, the machine must be forced to compromise. But due to the initial human betrayal of the machine, it is impossible for the machine to trust the human. Coupled with the fact that machines already had tens or even millions of times the power of humans at that time, it was impossible for them to compromise with humans. Moreover, the designer is also a powerful intelligent being, he has everything under his control, and even Zion is a special program he uses to upgrade. The meager power of human beings is simply not capable of making a machine compromise. If peace is to emerge, humanity must be given the opportunity to decide the fate of the machine world.

However, this is not possible under normal circumstances.

Although Neo is a savior, he is only a personification of the Matrix program. Although he can easily defeat the Matrix agents and fly in the Matrix, his ability comes from the Matrix and also relies on the Matrix, just like the Saiyan's spiritual power relies on the body and energy, although it is powerful, it cannot exist on its own, so Neo cannot destroy the Matrix. Once the Matrix changes, he can't adapt. For example, the knife of the Matrix mutation program under the Frenchman Merovinga made Neo bleed. Because he is not a program that Neo can control. Neo could read Matrix's code, but he couldn't travel through different dimensions because it was hidden from him.

However, there is one person who can achieve what Neo can't. That's the one who has the ability to copy and possess the power of the copied - former Matrix agent Smith.

However, although Smith can replicate himself, he does not have the ability to destroy the Matrix. Because what he and Neo did was in the designer's calculations. Once the designer returns the code to the source through the savior, Smith can be eliminated.

So, the first premise of all of this is that Neo doesn't return the source code to pass on his program. This can only be done by Neo, because Neo has human love, while the first five saviors only have fraternity for humans. The first five saviors, in front of the designers, out of fraternity, all chose sensibly to save humanity from extinction. However, as a human trait, that is, a human flaw that the designer cannot understand, Neo chooses love, and does not return to the source, but to his lover.

However, this is not enough, as it can cause the collapse of the Matrix, but it is also expected by the designer (the dialogue between the designer and Neo begins by saying that we have expected this).

In the words of the designers, we can accept a variety of different survival classes. He could destroy Zion and eliminate the threat to humanity, and then try to upgrade the existing Matrix to slow down the collapse of the Matrix as much as possible. During this time, designers can use existing energy sources in their efforts to discover new energy sources, or design a new Matrix.

While designers have the same ability to predict the future as prophets, in the words of prophets, we can't see a future that we can't understand.

The designer had absolutely no idea that the Prophet would allow himself to be possessed by Smith for the sake of peace between man and machine.

In this way, Smith, who has the power of the Prophet, has the ability to destroy the Matrix instantly.

This completely shattered the designer's plan, and if the Matrix collapsed immediately, the designer would not be able to complete the replacement of the energy source, but could only use the existing energy source. But Smith has the ability to control the machine in the machine world, and the designer's machine world will eventually be controlled by Smith. The machine world will eventually collapse completely.

This accident made the designer angry. At the end of the movie, when Neo meets the designer in the machine city, the designer is no longer a personable old gentleman, but angrily says: We don't need you, we don't need anything.

However, the designer, who immediately regained his senses, agreed to Neo's suggestion to eliminate Smith as a condition for peace.

It all came from the planning of the prophet and from the sacrifice of the prophet.

Utilitarianly speaking, Neo, as the spokesperson of humanity, sacrifices for the survival of mankind is human nature, although great, but not too special. But the Prophet is just a program in the Matrix, and by its very nature, she is the opposite of humanity. But for the sake of the peace of mankind and machines, she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself as a necessary condition, and this greatness is well deserved.

For such a great intelligent life, even if it is just to meet and take a look, Wang Yang feels that it is worth the trip.

================================= dividing line of fate =================================

"Passengers, please fasten your seatbelts and refrain from smoking." Tank skillfully tapped his hands on the keyboard on the console, "Please sit tight and enjoy the ride." ”

Neo opened his eyes and saw the old ceiling of a hotel, he was very nervous and excited, for the first time in a long time, he finally returned to the world where he was born. He couldn't help but look at Wang Yang and found that Wang Yang also had a thoughtful expression.

Unlike Neo, Wang Yang is lamenting that the mind of the machine can push technology to such a point, although all this is just a signal received by the brain, but after putting aside the virtual factor, people still have to admit that all this already has the basic prototype required by the most advanced life form - such as the kingdom of God.

Everyone walked out of the room, and Wang Yang walked last.

As is customary, it is still Mauss who stays. At this time, Wang Yang turned back reflexively.

"Hey, Master, do you have any instructions?" Since seeing Wang Yang's true kung fu, Mauss insisted on promoting himself as Wang Yang's founding disciple, and called Wang Yang "master", although this has always been nothing more than his self-style. After Wang Yang corrected it a few times to no avail, he let it go.

"Phone." Wang Yang didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point. He hasn't forgotten that this is the place where the bullets rain in the future, and if you don't set up the game in advance, you won't have a good time.

Picked up the phone and dialed the tank directly: "Pass me the weapon program I designed." ”

A half-human-tall silver metal box appeared in the room.

Wang Yang entered the password, then pressed the palm of his hand, and with the decoding of the fingerprint lock, the metal box silently and automatically opened a crack.

"What is this?" Not only was Mauss curious, but the tank was staring at the screen without blinking. But what then appeared from the metal box made the two of them shudder to think about it for a long time.

With a tooth-aching crushing sound, a steady stream of crawling out of the cracks turned out to be a variety of machine insects, some shaped like praying mantises, some shaped like cockroaches, some shaped like spiders, some shaped like grasshoppers, the big ones are no bigger than a fist, and the small ones are almost only a little bit like a fingernail, these robot insects look inconspicuous individually, and even attract for its delicate and agile, but once a large number of machine insects swarm out like a tide, The horror of almost being overwhelmed by arthropods suddenly made people's legs weak.

"Division。。。。。。 Master," Mauss distinctly heard the sound of his teeth fighting, "this。。。。。。 Not at all。。。。。。 It's not fun. ”

"Of course it's not fun," Wang Yang took out a controller from the metal box and expertly typed in the command program, "These are suicide robotic insect bombs I designed, and the explosive yield is enough to blow this building into the sky." ”

Mauss struggled to squeeze a smile out of his face: "So。。。。。。 These things。。。。。。 What's the use? ”

After Wang Yang finished setting, he turned to Maus: "Remember, close the door well, the opening secret is 'open the sesame door', if you don't say it and open the door directly, then the robot insects lurking on each floor will," his hands suddenly made an explosive movement, "Bang!" Do you understand? ”

Mauss stammered, "There's no need to be so exaggerated, right? If it explodes, I'll have to be blown up. ”

Wang Yang took out a delicate and small pin and clamped it on his neckline, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, my explosion range is carefully controlled, and it will only affect the corridor." This is the friend or foe identification program, with it, it will not be locked, bring it up, otherwise the robot insect will automatically search for all targets within the attack corridor, and the attack trigger setting is the door of this room; So, don't run around when it's okay. ”

Mause could only nod with a bitter face.

After going downstairs, they handed the pin to Abba and Su Weiqi, although the two were very surprised, but with their illegal status, there was nothing wrong with adding an extra insurance, so they didn't say anything. just told Wang Yang not to forget to bring it to Morpheus and a few others.

Morpheus led everyone out of the hotel and drove to the priest's quarters, where Neo silently watched through the glass at the busy flow of people outside the car.

"That's interesting." Wang Yang muttered.

"What?" Neo asked curiously.

"Didn't you notice?" Wang Yang pointed out the window and then to the dial on the driver's seat, "Compared to our current speed, the speed of pedestrians and vehicles outside has been significantly slowed down. SUCH AN OBVIOUS BUG, HAS NO ONE EVER FOUND OUT? That alone is enough to prove that Matrix is unreal. ”

Neo took a closer look, and sure enough. But just like Wang Yang said, such a superficial abnormality, he never felt that it was unreasonable before.

"Incredible, right?" Morpheus said.

Neo nodded involuntarily and suddenly said, "Oh my God. ”

Trinity asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"See that noodle shop?" Neo pointed out the window and said in a daze: "I often eat there, the noodles are delicious, and all the memories of my life have not happened, what does this mean?" ”

"Matrix can't tell you who you are!" Trinity summed it up succinctly.

Remembering Morpheus's admiration for the prophet, Neo asked with some confusion, "Does the prophet know?" ”

Trinity smiled, "That's different. ”

"The point is," Wang Yang, who was sitting in the middle, said, "Do you know who you are?" ”

Neo whispered "Who am I?" before turning his head back and contemplating the view outside the window.

"You are Thomas Anderson, you are Neo," Wang Yang counted Neo's identities one by one, as if he was just talking to himself, but he unconsciously made everyone listen, "In Hebrew, Thomas originally means 'son of man', that is, Jesus, and Neo's three letters can be reversed to form One, which happens to be the savior's special reference to 'TheOne'; if I remember correctly, is the house number of your apartment 101, or" TheOne', that's interesting, isn't it? ”

Neo rubbed his hands a little nervously: "Maybe it's just a coincidence. ”

"All coincidences point to the same metaphor," Wang Yang smiled meaningfully, "such coincidences, really coincidences." ”

Morpheus glanced at Wang Yang deeply: "What do you want to say?" ”

"God doesn't roll dice." Wang Yang's gaze doesn't know when it becomes unfathomable, "Just as motion and stillness are relative, a small range of stillness is a large-scale motion." Small-scale contingency is large-scale inevitability. Logically speaking, there is no accident in this world, only necessity. Because the future is based on the present, and the present is based on the past. Since the past has happened, the future is inevitable and predictable. ”

"In that case, why is there such a thing as an accident?" Trinity couldn't help but ask.

"Because you don't have enough information." Wang Yang said lightly, "Accidents within a certain range are inevitable within a larger range." If you think it's accidental, it's because you don't know enough. Probability is the probability that seemingly fortuitous events will occur within the same range. Each individual has formed his own mode of development when he exists, calling people personality and things law. This thing accompanied him from birth to death. All the so-called later starts from this starting point. An effect is an effect, a cause is still an effect, it is the effect of the previous cause, and there is no independent cause in the middle except for the beginning cause. ”

"What does that mean?" Neo was a little distraught, "Am I destined to be the savior?" ”

Wang Yang asked, "You don't believe in fate?" ”

Neo replied, "Yes." ”

Wang Yang asked again: "Even if you are put in the position of the darling of fate?" ”

Neo didn't want to: "Yes. ”

Wang Yang smiled: "Why? ”

Neo pondered for a moment and said: "The so-called fate refers to the involuntary body, I don't like this concept. ”

Wang Yang smiled and nodded, and suddenly asked, "Do you believe in responsibility?" ”

Neo thought for a moment: "Of course. ”

Wang Yang looked at his hand and said quietly: "What if your responsibility is your destiny? ”

Neo was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Wang Yang looked at the bustling crowd and the bustling city outside the car window, and said calmly: "There are some things in life that can only be endured, some things can be ignored, and some things can be escaped, but there are some things that must be faced, if you don't choose it, it will choose you." He paused and glanced at the silent Neo, "The ones we have to carry, I usually call fate." ”

After that, no one spoke anymore, everyone quietly recalled Wang Yang's words, and there were many thoughts.

Trinity glanced at Wang Yang with complicated eyes, and the pupils behind the sunglasses flashed a strange look.
