Chapter 574: The Truth About the Mother
Qiao Lu hurried to the evacuation site, and sure enough, a large number of police cars surrounded him with sirens blaring.
This time, it was not just three agents who got out of the police car, but a large group of agents in suits and sunglasses with similar figures, who were surrounded by this place in an instant.
Qiao Lu crashed headlong into the dilapidated building, scurrying through the labyrinthine corridors.
Telephones rang in the distance, indicating that the evacuation point was not far away.
But a large number of agents and police also poured in, and the sound of broken doors and windows was heard everywhere, like catching turtles in an urn.
This time, the parent body sent not ordinary police, but the FBI SWAT team, abseiling, blasting, vertical attack, and doing everything.
There's even a helicopter gunship outside the window, and the agents set up their Gatling guns and shoot inside, regardless of whether they hurt innocents or not, there is no such thing as a hostage for them.
Ten minutes ago, it was Qiao Lu who swept them with Gatling, but he didn't expect the situation to be reversed so quickly.
Qiao Lu could only stay as far away from the window as possible, and being seen was a dead end.
However, the other party also heard the slightest movement and poured bullets at them, anyway, several concrete walls were completely unable to stop Gatling's bullets, and they could shoot all the way to the depths of the building from the outside.
Qiao Lu raced down the hallway, followed by a fence formed by bullets.
The ceiling in front of him suddenly shattered, and several SWAT officers jumped down and raised their guns at him.
At this critical moment, Qiao Lu crashed into the room next to him, and the bell came from here.
Sure enough, the interior was furnished in the same room as when Qiao Lu came, with only a desk and an old-fashioned telephone, which was ringing.
Qiao Lu decisively picked up the phone, and at the moment when he put the earpiece to his ear, dozens of bullets passed through his body and swept through the entire room.
For a moment, the table was smashed into sawdust, the phone was shattered into parts in an instant, and the rubble flew in the room, as if everything was collapsing.
Qiao Lu's body was pierced by countless bullets, but not a drop of blood flowed, because before that, his body began to disappear, and the bullets passed through only a phantom of nothingness.
The agents who caught up behind could only watch him disappear, and then the entire room collapsed, and he was buried in an instant.
In the next second, Qiao Lu woke up from the Avatar device, as if what he had just experienced was just a dream, which was true in a sense.
The scientists hurriedly opened the hatch of the device and found that Qiao Lu woke up unharmed, only to collectively breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
"It's great if you're okay."
Zhang Bin wiped a cold sweat, this operation was indeed unexpected and thrilling.
Qiao Lu also sighed and stood up, but he didn't regret it.
"At least we had a bonus, and I met someone before I left, and maybe it could be the key to breaking the game."
Jolu was talking about Morpheus, of course, and as long as he could contact Zion, he would have a way to interfere with the real world over there.
As long as the battlefield can be transferred to reality, there is nothing to fear from wandering the earth.
Zhang Bin nodded and said, "Thanks to your exploration this time, we have also obtained a lot of important information, and it is possible to disintegrate this virtual world from the inside. ”
The Wandering Earth requires the presence of an observer in order to observe the situation in other planes.
This time, Qiao Lu stayed in the mother body for so long, and it also bought Zhang Bin and them enough time to understand what kind of existence the mother body was.
Zhang Bin said to Qiao Lu: "In short, you have a good rest first, I will report the specific situation to the coalition government, and I should convene you to discuss countermeasures at that time." ”
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
Although there was no physical damage, after such a thrilling chase battle, Qiao Lu still needed a little time to calm down.
The Wandering Earth entered the mother experiment for the second time, and it was successfully completed. Tremendous progress has been made from all sides, and while Qiao Lu is active, of course, Zhang Bin and their support are indispensable.
Soon after, the coalition government convened an operational meeting to discuss how to deal with the plane encountered.
Qiao Lu and Zhang Bin attended the meeting as a matter of course, and the rest were Luo Feng, who was in charge of military affairs among the permanent council representatives, Zhang Zhezhong, commander of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force, and a large number of senior officers and generals.
In order to let them quickly understand the general situation, Zhang Bin took the lead in a brief introduction:
"Based on the information obtained from the cracking of the encryption program, we learned that the virtual world we encountered this time was a huge network system called Matrix. The original meaning of matrix is the womb, the mother's body, the place where life is conceived, and it also means matrix in mathematical terms. Both refer to each other, but for the sake of convenience, we still call them the mother. ”
It's an interesting name indeed, because on the one hand, humans who are imprisoned in their mother's womb are like babies living in the womb, but they may not be able to come out for the rest of their lives.
On the other hand, the matrix is used to represent a set of data aspects, which symbolizes that it is actually a cold pile of code, which has no intention of giving birth to life.
"The Matrix is a simulated system program built by artificial intelligence that simulates the previous world of humans in order to control them. In the real world over there, humans have been defeated by machines and become enslaved domestic animals, and the mother is where they are kept in captivity. ”
An officer immediately raised his hand and asked, "What are machines doing in captivity?" Shouldn't they all be wiped out? ”
This is indeed an incomprehensible thing, so far the Wandering Earth has also encountered other planes that have encountered a crisis of intelligence and technology, and has never heard of such a thing as keeping humans in captivity.
Unless it's like Neil's world, where humans are worshipped as living furnishings.
Zhang Bin replied: "Nominally, they want to use humans to generate electricity, and cultivate people as plants, instead of photosynthesis to produce energy. ”
"But upon further investigation, we found that this was unrealistic. To immerse billions of people in a huge virtual world is incredibly unbelievable without consuming energy. It also uses the human body to generate electricity, which is completely inconsistent with the law of conservation of energy. It is not possible to provide energy unless it is to use heavy nuclear fusion technology to burn humans as firewood, but in reality machines do not do this. ”
If you burn people as firewood, won't you become a salary king? Qiao Lu hadn't heard of the Matrix world still spreading fire or anything.
Zhang Bin finally concluded: "According to our further research, in fact, the matrix exists as a computing unit, and every human brain is used as a chip for computing and processing programs. So the matrix is essentially a biological computer made up of billions of people, and that's the truth about the matrix, and that's why it needs humans! ”
