Zhuang Pi woke up, and there were only two small red lights in the room, which emitted a dim light. After waking up from the virtual world, in the real world, there is no day but night.

He sat up from the bed and noticed that there were two more patches on his chest that monitored his fitness, so he grabbed the cable and ripped the patches off.

Feeling as if something hard was on the back of his head, he felt to the back of his head and found a round, metallic hard thing with a round hole in the middle.

By the dim light, he saw that on the side of the bed, on the old rusty steel wall, there was something like a switch, and he flipped the switch.

The room lit up all at once.

It was a rusty, dilapidated cabin, everything was the oldest, some were tattered, and his cuffs were worn open.

Squeak, the steel door opened, and Li Zhi pushed the door in.

"You're awake." As he spoke, Li Zhi walked up to Zhuang Pi and glanced at Zhuang Pi's face.

"How do you feel, is there anything wrong with you?"

"It's okay, nothing uncomfortable." Zhuang Pi said, "You are ——? ”

"My name is Li Zhi, and I'm the doctor on the spaceship." Li Zhidao.

Zhuang Pi asked, "Spaceship?" Are we on a spaceship? ”

"Yes." Li Zhidao, "A nuclear-powered battle-armored spaceship named Gyro. ”

"How many people are on board?" Zhuang Pi asked.

"Seven." Li Zhidao, "They are all very easy people to get along with, except-"

Li Zhi helped Zhuang Pi up, motioned him to take a few steps, and said, "Except for that ice sculpture, Shan Leng Mei." ”

"When she was in her mother's body, she was a high-profile martial arts star, but she had a cold personality, don't care."

"And, from what I've observed these days, it seems like she's showing signs of a mental breakdown."

"Alas, we are on a mission right now, and there is no medicine for mental illness on the ship, so we can only wait until we return to Zion to treat her."

Zhuang Pi was relieved, I said that Shan Lengmei always looked cold and cold, and he ignored me, which turned out to be a suspected mental illness.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet the rest of the crew." With that, Li Zhi led Zhuang Pi out of the room.

The cockpit of the Gyro.

"This is our spaceship pilot, Huo Wenshi." "At the same time, he is also the deputy captain of the Gyro. ”

Huo Wenshi, who was sitting in the pilot's seat and observing the spaceship monitor, stretched out his hand and said, "Huo Wenshi, welcome to the Gyro." ”

"Thank you. Please advise. Zhuang Pi shook his hand.

Huo Wenshi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, it's my honor to see you." ”

As he was talking, a young man with an eastern face hurriedly walked into the cockpit and stretched out his hand to Zhuang Pi: "Zhuang Pi, hello!" ”

Li Zhi explained: "This is Liu Ta, our operator. ”

Liu Ta also shook Zhuang Pi's hand excitedly and said sincerely: "It's an honor to meet you." ”

Zhuang Pi found that except for Morpheus, all the crew members were Orientals, to be precise, guessing by name, they should all be Han Chinese.

At this time, Morpheus also came to the cockpit, and behind him was the cold and frosty single cold eyebrow.

"Okay, you've all seen Zhuang Pi, go and prepare two entrances first." "Attention, it's the access to the ship's separate system. ”

"I have something to say to him."

Morpheus led Zhuang Pi to the dining room, picked up a somewhat shabby but cleanly brushed stainless steel cup, and poured Zhuang Pi a glass of water.

Zhuang Pi took a sip of the water, the water was a little salty, and he asked, "Why are they so excited to see me?" ”

Morpheus said: "That's because, among the people living in the real world, there has always been a legend about the previous generation of savior Neo. ”

"And you, I believe, are the next savior."

"I, savior?!" Zhuang Pi looked incredulous, then shook his head and said, "You can't be mistaken." ”

"I don't even know where we are now, I'm going to be the savior??"

"By the way, where are we?"

Morpheus looked at Zhuang Pi with interest and said, "Now it is more important to ask 'when' than 'where'. ”

"When? What time? Zhuang Pi said.

Morpheus said: "You think it's 2009, but it's actually around 2209. ”

"I can't tell you the exact year because I don't know either."

Seeing that Zhuang Pi was still puzzled, Morpheus said again: "You won't understand what I say, Zhuang Pi." ”

"Come with me, see for yourself."

Morpheus led the horses back into the cockpit, where the crew had prepared the access to the two separate systems.

Two mechanically fixed chairs, with more than a dozen worn data cables behind them.

Morpheus sat down on one of the chairs, and then made a gesture of please to Zhuang Pi, "Please sit down." ”

Zhuang Pi nodded, and did as he said, Li Zhi helped him put his hands and feet, clicked, and pulled the lock ring, locking his hands and feet, as well as his shoulders.

"Take it easy." Li Zhi held Zhuang Pi's forehead, "You will feel a little weird, but it's okay, just rest assured." ”

After hearing this, Zhuang Pi felt that a steel needle-like thing was inserted into the round socket on the back of his head, and the sound of metal friction was transmitted to the cochlea through the vibration of the skull.

"Ahh Zhuang Pi was stimulated by the violent signal, couldn't help but close his eyes, and grew his mouth.

"Ahh......h

Morpheus stood opposite Zhuang Pi and stretched out his hand and said, "This is the main architecture, the data loading program, an independent system program. ”

"There's it all here." Morpheus continued, "Including clothing, equipment, food—"

"Weapons, simulated training...... What you want, what you have! ”

"We're already in a computer program??" Zhuang Pi actually had a familiar feeling, as if he had been born in the program all along.

"Isn't this unbelievable!" "Your outfit has changed, the jacks are gone, and your hairstyle is different. ”

"It's called a 'residual self image,' a projection of you in the virtual world."

Suddenly, two sofas, a table, and an old-fashioned television appeared out of thin air.

"yes, this is the virtual world." Zhuang Pi touched the back of the sofa chair and sighed, "It feels the same as the real thing." ”

"What is real? How to define truth? "If you mean touch, smell, taste and sight, the sense of autonomous insight, it's all electronic signals that the brain receives. ”

Picking up the remote control from the table, Morpheus pressed the button and said, "This is the world you know, the beginning of the twenty-first century." ”

The television set began to play images: a city full of skyscrapers, busy streets, walking people, flowing rivers, large meadows and forests......

"Actually, it's an interactive virtual world, The? Matrix, what we call the so-called matrix. ”

"You've been living in a dream world, Zhuang Pi." Morpheus pressed the remote again, "This is the real world." ”

"Welcome to the real world."

The picture in the TV set switched, and the sky was completely obscured by thick billowing black clouds, and lightning and thunder roared in the swirling and tumbling black clouds, and it did not rain when it was dry.

Strange metal buildings form a dense steel forest, the soil on the ground is black frozen soil, and the mountains in the distance are enduring black ice and snow.

Everything is lifeless, it's a dark and cold world.

"We only have fragmented information, but we know that in the middle of the 21st century, all of humanity will rejoice and celebrate the success of our great achievement, 'AI'."

"But in the near future, AI, this artificial intelligence, evolves itself and becomes a more intelligent robot, and it wants to enslave humans, and humans rise up against it."

"The war soon began, and it was impossible to determine who would attack first, but humanity had covered the sky with nuclear bombs."

"At that time, robots could only rely on solar energy, and humans thought that if they lost the energy of the sun, they would perish."

……

"Enslaving humans into cyborgs can continuously produce more than 120 volts of bioelectricity, 25,000 heat, and after nuclear fusion, robots have an inexhaustible source of energy."

"Robots enslave humans and turn them into batteries."

"Fate, it seems to be full of irony, human beings are so fragile, but the radiation from the explosion of a nuclear bomb kills most of humanity."

"The Matrix is a computer-simulated dream world in order to control all humans."

……

After Morpheus introduced the origin of human beings and the mother, he looked at Zhuang Pi strangely: "You don't seem surprised!" ”

"I already knew that." Zhuang Pi said, "That's because when I was in my mother's body, I read a novel. ”

"A novel written by a hacker that discusses an astonishing idea, exactly as you say!"

"Hackers??" Morpheus wondered, "What kind of hacker??! ”

Zhuang Pi said: "An elusive hacker, she also has a resounding name-"

"That's what you usually call a prophet!"

"The Prophet ???"

"Yes."
