In the solemn hall of the Zion Council, thirteen councillors lined up, and across from them was a packed auditorium. The two long tables in the first row were clearly at the forefront of the hearing: the long table on the left was occupied by several dignitaries led by Commander Locke, and the long table on the right was Wang Yang's single figure.

"This catastrophe can be called the largest human extinction event in the history of the earth, according to incomplete statistics, less than one-tenth of the human beings currently exist in the Matrix, and due to the collapse of the Matrix, this number is still declining rapidly, even in the Second Renaissance era, human beings have not suffered such a major blow. Although some people say that the collapse of the Matrix has broken the cage that imprisoned humanity and given us the opportunity to reverse the war, although the Matrix has temporarily delayed the attack on Zion, I would like to urge the Council to understand the fact that the chaos of the energy system can neither change the hostile situation between machines and humans, nor reverse the strategic disadvantage of humans over machines, on the contrary, the energy shortage caused by the mass death of humans in Matrix, the most likely thing for machines is to increase their attack on Zion to obtain more energy, Or wipe us out altogether to save energy output. “

The impassioned Commander Locke glanced at Wang Yang who was sitting on his right at this time, and said word by word, "And as we all know, humans born naturally in Zion cannot access the Matrix, and our counterattack on the Matrix can only rely on those rescued compatriots, that is to say, the Matrix is not only the source of energy for the Machine Legion, but also the source of our war potential, and now it is unknown whether the energy of the Machine Legion is really depleted, but our reserve army resources no longer exist, The Machine Legion only needs to wait for our remaining soldiers to suffer casualties before winning the war without much effort; Even if the impact of war is set aside, it is a heinous act to cause billions of human deaths at once and only to consider the survival of humanity itself. In any era, in the face of any kind of system, it is impossible to wash away his sins, so I think the culprit Wang Yang must be severely punished. No forgiveness can be given for any reason! “

Commander Locke's last words were almost roared out, not only causing the entire council hall to buzz, but also causing a massive commotion in the audience, which began to discuss, and from time to time there were several voices of crying and scolding, apparently those who still had relatives in the Matrix; A series of regretful or hateful eyes gathered on Wang Yang. The human heart is boiling, but the air is almost frozen.

It must be admitted that as a commander who controls the overall situation, Locke sees it very accurately, the collapse of the Matrix is a tragedy for both machines and humans, but at least on the whole, the loss of machines is far less than that of humans, and it is not the first time that humans have died in a large area, they have long had a plan to deal with it, and they can accept any degree of survival; However, with the current absolute disadvantage of human beings, any loss will hurt the muscles and bones.

Behind Wang Yang, the members of the Nebuchadnezzar fidgeted like ants on a hot pot. Neo tried to get up several times, but Morpheus resolutely stopped him. In the real world, he is not the omnipotent savior, at most he is a top super hacker, and in this kind of political occasion, he has no right to speak.

And Wang Yang still sat there with an indifferent expression, indifferent.

It was the white congresswoman in the movie who presided over the hearing, and in the face of the situation that was gradually getting out of control, she decisively sounded the warning hammer in her hand: "Quiet! “

The discussion gradually subsided, and Councilor Dilard said: "Commander Locke's opinion, the council has already made it clear, so Mr. Wang Yang, do you have anything to say?" “

In front of everyone's eyes, Wang Yang stood up and said lightly: "No." He sat down.

The hall was quiet for a moment, and then the pot boiled with a bang. In the hustle and bustle, some people were shocked, some were puzzled, some were indignant, some were silent, some were talking to each other, and some were loudly reprimanded, but most of the audience's opinions were unanimous, that is, Wang Yang knew that the evidence of the crime was conclusive, so it was irrefutable.

"What is Wang Yang doing?" Neo really couldn't sit still, if the crime was confirmed, waiting for Wang Yang would at least be imprisoned for life, which was too cruel for someone who had already lost his five senses, "Why didn't he defend himself?" Didn't he know the consequences of silence? ”

The rest of the Nebuchadnezzar was also very puzzled, they all knew Wang Yang's wisdom, if Wang Yang spoke, it is estimated that no one present would be his opponent, and even a few people who admired him were still waiting to witness the good show of the battle of tongues.

Wang Yang turned a blind eye to all this, heard but did not hear it, and his Tao did not need to be explained, nor did he disdain to explain it. There may be something in the world that can touch him, but at least not here.

"Quiet!" Congresswoman Dilard had to sound the warning hammer again.

The thirteen councillors quickly exchanged opinions, and Speaker Haman spoke: "So, is there anyone willing to make some suggestions for Mr. Wang Yang?" "Since it is a hearing, it is natural to listen to it at the same time, and it will not be pushed by the wall.

Morpheus had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately prepared to stand up when he heard the words, in fact, Speaker Harman was also secretly reminding him, but what he didn't expect was that someone actually rushed ahead of him: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to say." ”

Not only the crew of the Morpheus and Nebuchadnezzar, but even Commander Locke turned his head in surprise: Hey, isn't this the attending physician of Wang Yang?

"Okay, now Dr. Xavier from Zion Hospital will speak." A hint of surprise flashed in Councillor Dilard's eyes, but he nodded calmly.

The doctor stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and said eagerly, "As the chief researcher of Zion Medical Center, I would like to declare first that I know nothing about Mr. Wang Yang's past, because there are so few fighters who can survive the battle in Matrix, and he is the only one who has returned from a serious injury like Mr. Wang Yang in my memory. But what I want to talk about today is not this, but about the mystery of the evolution of our human life。。。。。。 ”

At this time, Commander Locke interrupted him impatiently: "Doctor, we are holding a hearing today, not an academic seminar. ”

Congressman Dilard also reminded: "President Xavier, we are very short on time, are you sure that your statement has anything to do with the content of our hearing today and the witnesses?" ”

Dr. Xavier nodded repeatedly: "Of course it does, and it has a lot to do with it. ”

Councillor Dilard could only say, "Okay, please hurry. ”

Commander Locke could only sit down with an unhappy face.

Dr. Xavier fully showed the essence of a technical maniac in the following time, and his mouth was extremely happy, in fact, there was no concept of time in his consciousness at all, once he started speaking, that kind of gushing momentum made Wang Yang also look sideways, he first listed a lot of cases and data, and then began to analyze and summarize, and from time to time to look forward to a certain possibility, just when everyone was asleep or unbearable, his topic finally came back: "I found out a long time ago, Humans' battles in the Matrix often trigger a state of stress in which their speed, strength, reflexes, stamina, and intelligence are multiplied, and their battle instincts are terrifyingly amazing, a performance that has completely surpassed the limits of the human body, and only the legendary Superman can do it; But the strange thing is that as soon as these warriors quit the Matrix, all of the above magic disappeared completely, as if they had a dream, no matter how hard they tried, unless they could plug it back in, it seemed that only in the Matrix could this dream become a reality. I spent all my time delving into this paradoxical but miraculous state, but because all the processes took place in the virtual world and could not be reproduced in reality, they were stagnant. ”

"It's nothing unusual," Commander Locke sneered, "it's the release of our mental projection in the virtual world, it's no different from the principle of dreaming, it's false, it's the same as Matrix." ”

Dr. Xavier didn't seem to hear the other party's ridicule at all, and retorted seriously: "I thought so at first, but then the appearance of a person made me realize that our previous thinking was wrong, and the performance of our warriors in Matrix is not a dream, but real, it is a power hidden in our genes, this power is real and powerful, and more importantly, it can be learned and mastered by each of us, I have a feeling that maybe this power is that we defeat the machine, The ultimate way to win the war. ”

There was an uproar in the council hall, and everyone, including the thirteen councillors, began to talk.

Commander Locke, whose patience had long been exhausted, snapped: "This is ridiculous! Doctor, are you here to preach your motivational theories to us? This is a serious hearing, not a classroom for elementary school students, when humanity is already facing a life-and-death decision, but you are wasting everyone's time talking about what dreams come true, are you laughing at our IQ doctor? But sorry, we're all adults already! ”

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Congressman Dereed had to ring the warning hammer for the third time: "Quiet! ”

Commander Locke's gaze locked on Xavier, pressing step by step: "And, even if what you say is true, do you know how long it takes to train an ordinary person to become a qualified warrior?" Do you know what the elimination rate is for each flying ship crew? Even if that power really exists, will those damn machines give us time to master it? ”

Congressman Dellard also questioned: "Doctor, where is your research going?" ”

Dr. Xavier muttered, "Data collection is underway. ”

The audience was in an uproar, doesn't that mean nothing? Even the things that the shadow hasn't yet come up with to fool the audience? There was a burst of boos in the hall. Dr. Xavier couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Commander Locke spoke in a style like his command, and once it was launched, he would never stop until he was defeated in one go: "More importantly, what does it have to do with today's hearing?" What does it have to do with this criminal who killed billions of his compatriots? ”

Xavier replied firmly: "The person I just mentioned who turned this power into reality is Mr. Wang Yang. ”
