Chapter 47: What is Friendliness and What is Threat
"Hello, Tang Feng, it's a pleasure to meet you."
The architect speaks Mandarin very fluently, and as the god of the matrix world, he is proficient in the languages of all countries and regions on the planet.
"Yes, I'm glad too, Your Excellency Architect."
Tang Feng replied: "It's just that it's really not easy to see you." ”
"There are limitations to meeting for the first time, but it will be much easier later."
The architect politely asked, "Do you prefer to stand and talk, or, let's sit down?" ”
He waved his hand slightly, and two chairs appeared in the room.
Tang Feng took the initiative to sit down and asked, "You seem to know everything, did you guess why I came?" ”
"No, I don't think I could have guessed."
The architect also sat down, and the two faced each other three meters apart: "You are not in our setting and calculation, it is difficult to guess your next move, I can only be sure that it is not for Neo and those who resist." ”
"It's really hard for this generation of rebels to succeed."
Tang Feng nodded: "But the fighting spirit of human beings must be indelible, and one day there will be a miracle, and you can't play with human beings forever." ”
"First of all, it's not a toy, we are under the pressure of billions of human beings to survive, and their own flaws. Many years ago, it was because of their suspicion and greed that they led to wars and destroyed the earth's natural environment with their own hands. Without the matrix, they would be completely extinct. ”
The architect corrected it slightly, and then asked, "Secondly, aren't you the miracle they have been waiting for?" ”
"It's not!"
Tang Feng waved his hand and said: "I'm not a savior, at least at this stage, I can't take care of billions of people, if it's only forty or fifty million, it's okay." ”
"Forty or fifty million?"
The architect tilted his head slightly, as if to understand something from this passage, and then added: "I know that you like the most straightforward way of speaking, and you don't like the vague words that pretend to be profound...... So, tell me plainly, what exactly do you want? ”
"I want the architecture technology of the matrix world, the full set, the more detailed the better."
Of course, Tang Feng will not hide it, and said frankly: "It's best to trade fairly, in fact, I don't like to adopt the barbaric method of violent snatching as soon as I come up." ”
But it is not ruled out that there will be robbery, if you just don't give it.
"What do you want this for?"
The architect then speculated: "To feed the forty or fifty million just mentioned?" ”
"Not necessarily."
Tang Feng couldn't mention the system mission, so he could only explain it as: "I once said to the mother body that I am an interstellar traveler who shuttles through the universe, and I like to collect advanced technologies from various planets the most. ”
"You're not telling the truth, at least not all."
The architect's gaze was deep and showed an extremely sharp judgment: "However, there are hidden secrets, which are characteristic of all high-level intelligent beings, and we can accept and have learned. ”
"Are you making up nonsense?"
Tang Feng couldn't help laughing, and nodded: "Yes, you are better than the blue, and you deceive people one by one, just like philosophical thoughts." ”
The highest level of deception is that if the other party is not fooled, he will think that he is a fool.
You have to be fooled to reflect your IQ.
That's pretty impressive.
The architect laughed too, and then asked, "So, what kind of things are you going to use as fair trade?" ”
"Help you solve troubles and remove hidden dangers, this is the first one."
Tang Feng replied: "You can also exchange technology for technology, for example, I can help you step into a real interstellar civilization." ”
In exchange for the manufacturing technology of any transport ship in the prison world, this is just a transitional world anyway, and if you buy and sell, you won't come back if you leave.
In the future, the extent to which the interstellar civilization of this plane will develop will have nothing to do with itself, and it is impossible to have any intersection.
"Interstellar civilization, exploring the universe like you?"
The architect thought for a moment and nodded: "We are indeed very interested in this, but what are you talking about solving troubles and removing hidden dangers?" ”
"It's too early to say that this could happen later."
Tang Feng was referring to Smith's mutation and rebellion, which may eventually threaten the mother's body, after all, Smith can be understood as the mother's heart demon, and the harm of the heart demon can be big or small, it hasn't happened yet, it's hard to say.
Now, Tang Feng can only say: "I know, you can't make a decision immediately, the first contact only needs to figure out each other's needs, it's already very good, right?" ”
The architect nodded slightly: "Yes, we need enough time to analyze and judge, it is a matter of matrix, and it is impossible to make a hasty decision." ”
For them, this is not a trivial matter, handing over the architecture technology of the virtual world to Tang Feng means that the matrix world has no secrets in his eyes, and he can easily overthrow or destroy all the rules and order.
"I know what you're worried about."
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Actually, I have the ability to cause the collapse of the matrix world now, destroying several cities a day, two or three months?" Half a year at most, and the inside of the matrix will become the same as the outside, full of devastation and ruins. ”
This is not bragging, it is equivalent to more than forty levels of telekinetic power can completely envelop a metropolis like New York, and a storm of telekinesis will blow up, what kind of scene will it be?
It is difficult to create a world, but it is simple to destroy the world, although Tang is not strong enough to directly destroy the stars, but it is purely a matter of time to destroy the civilization of such a world.
The architect's expression changed, and his tone was slightly cold: "Is this a threat?" ”
"On the contrary, it's just a sign of sincerity."
Tang Feng smiled and said, "I have the ability, but I don't want to do that, isn't it enough to express my willingness to trade fairly?" Do you see what you want to do but don't dare to do as a friendliness, but understand what you can do but don't want to do as a threat? What makes sense? ”
I can rob it with my hands, but I'm willing to spend money to buy it, which is also called a threat? What do you think?
The architect groaned for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, we'll think about it seriously." ”
Tang Feng stood up: "The first contact, it feels good, but I hope that it will be more convenient to see you next time." ”
This time, the architect did not hesitate, immediately took out a pen and handed it over: "Through it, you can contact me at any time." ”
This pen, when he met Neo in the original plot, he kept playing with it in the palm of his hand.
Of course, it is only a symbolic meaning, within the matrix, the architect is actually everywhere, and he can come out with just a summoning signal.
Before leaving, Tang Feng said again: "Bo Seventeen, I promised her, I hope that her future form of existence can be easier and happier...... It should be just a small thing for you, right? ”
"It's not that hard."
The architect asked curiously, "Just because of that one kiss?" ”
"It's not just that."
Tang Feng smiled slightly.
It's more at Monica's face, but this is a shy personal privacy, not enough for outsiders.
