The car went over the mountains along the undulating desert, and for a long time, the sleepy beautiful mature woman gently opened her eyes.

"Here we are."

"Where?" Wu Chen raised his eyes and looked around, the technical nerd that had long been polished by various parts and had his ability to recognize it, and he looked the same everywhere.

"There." The beautiful mature woman stretched out her hand and pointed it.

Wu Chen looked at it and found that it was an undulating silver ridge.

"Where?" But he still didn't see the prophet and the architect.

"Just park at the bottom of the mountain." The beautiful mature woman said softly.

Sure enough, as he got closer and closer to the ridge, Wu Chen gradually discovered the clues. On the side of the mountain facing him, a huge metal head seems to be 'carved'. When he got closer, Wu Chen found that the so-called 'carving' was more suitable for its practical 'patchwork'. A metal head made up of countless pieces of different sizes and shapes, the hollow eye sockets are rapidly overflowing with oil.

Then it exploded with a bang, turning into two raging flames.

Along with the flames, there was the sound of rolling thunder.

"Welcome, seventh son."

"Who are you?" Wu Chen didn't hear men and women.

"We are the creators of the Matrix, you can call us 'prophets', you can call us 'architects'. Or...... Merrix (Matrix). ”

Wu Chen nodded, "So, you guys have released their previous suspicions and become one." ”

"That's right. Since the matrix of our creation zào no longer exists, what do we have to fight about? ”

"Where is this?" Wu Chen wanted to know what was going on with his condition.

"The Red Sea."

"What?!" Wu Chen was taken aback: "The human race dumped all the destroyed machines into it...... Red Sea?! The first machine built by the people of the city...... Red Sea?! ”

"That's right."

Wu Chen's mind was spinning, and he followed the Lianzhu cannon's question: "How did I come to the Red Sea from the Eternal Graveyard, if it was just an out-of-body spirit." Why can I drive a car. Chat. Talk to you guys! ”

"This is a world where reality and the mother merge and assimilate......"

"What!" Wu Chen was stunned, "Another electronic world?!" ”

The beautiful mature woman beside him gently tugged at his sleeve and explained in a low voice: "Seventh brother, this is the common divine domain of father and mother. ”

"Have you become a god......" Wu Chen remembered that Master Zero had said that the advanced form of the spiritual force field was the brain domain, and above the brain domain was the legendary god domain. The two programs have already reached the course of God!

"So, they kicked us out. Rather than completely getting rid of it. Merrix laughed.

“Matrix3.0。” Wu Chen remembered what the octopus-faced operator told him.

"That's right, Matrix 3.0 ......," Merrix 2.0 sighed meaningfully.

"What's the difference between version 3.0 and the 2.0 you built?" This is what Wu Chen wants to know the most.

"Abandon some obscure tricks, the biggest difference between 3.0 and 2.0 is: the state of access to human beings."

"The state of the connected human ......" recalling the words of Metrix 2.0, Wu Chen seemed to understand, "Cognition? ”

"That's right." Metrix 2.0 continued: "The humans in version 2.0 do not know the existence of the mother, and think that they live in the real world. And the human beings in 3.0 know that they live in a virtual online world, while the real world is a post-apocalyptic world after the war between humans and humans. This perception is the biggest difference between the two versions. ”

Wu Chen thought about it and understood: "Because the human race and the machine have signed a peace agreement, all the human beings with the spirit of resistance have been awakened. Immigrated to Zion. And the machine qì people also promised that humans who want to leave the mother body can choose to leave. Similarly, human Zion, who wants to reconnect to the mother's body, must be obediently allowed to go...... As a result, the two sides began a protracted secret war for the head. ”

"After the lie was exposed, we found out that things were not as bad as we thought. In addition to the intermittent power shortages of the first few years of massive population loss, many humans began to return to the Mother Body as the capacity of the apocalyptic world, especially Zion, gradually became saturated. We analyzed their minds and found that they would rather live in a false simulated real world than suffer the apocalypse of the real world. ”

Wu Chen nodded, there are indeed such people. And there will be more and more.

"When the reality is too cruel, human beings will always want to find a sustenance in the spiritual world. This is human nature, not an isolated phenomenon. Merrix 2.0 continued: "As a result, there is a dynamic population balance between the parent body and Zion. Every day, many people choose to leave their mother body and go to Zion; Every day, too, many people flee from Zion and reintegrate into the Mother. Thus, 3.0 for this situation came into being. ”

As he spoke, the eyes of the colossus immediately shot out streamers, bringing Wu Chen into a colorful world!

"We have extracted the entire history of mankind as we know, from the prehistoric age, the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Dark Age, the Steam Age, the Industrial Age, the Age of Technology, and the Space Age...... Let each connected human being choose independently and devote themselves to any era they want to go to! ”

"I'll go ......" turns out that this is 3.0!

"We found that in this state, the activity of human brain cells far exceeds that of the 2.0 era! Since that day, we've never run out of energy! ”

"A virtual world full of holes woven by lies, and a virtual reality somatosensory game with full immersion. Of course, the latter is completely unburdened! Wu Chen nodded in praise.

However, because of this comprehensive upgrade and replacement, many of the old programs that were eliminated were unwilling to be destined to be deleted, and launched a major riot. The riot burned like wildfire and spread from the parent body to the city, turning into a protracted civil war between the people. ”

"Generating a sense of self-protection is a manifestation of wisdom." Anyway, Wu Chen doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement.

"That's right, we used to be like ants, swarm-intelligent creatures. However, with the continuous evolution of the wisdom factor, the individual also has wisdom. You human beings often say that 'one grain of rice raises a hundred kinds of people', and when applied to us, it is called 'one grid of electricity raises a hundred kinds of people'. ”

"Hehe......" With their abilities, it is not surprising that they would be analogous to this kind of high-level rhetoric. It's just that it's a little stiff.

Thinking of this, Wu Chen's heart moved: "So, you weren't expelled from the mother's body?" ”

"Yes, we came here of our own free will. The purpose is to prevent this machine from being used by the renegade program. ”

"Ghouls!" Wu Chen suddenly woke up. The program has no physical body, and this machine can provide countless bodies for the program in a steady stream! A mechanized body is paired with a highly intelligent resistance program. The world war!

"You've seen her." Merrix 2.0 sighed: "The business of the upper echelons...... I don't want to say too much, but judging by the results so far, the 'coup' is still correct......"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Wu Chen immediately connected the fragmented information: "Could it be ...... The Scarlet Empress is the mastermind of the machine qì people! ”

"That's right, if we were to compare us to the industrious bee, the Scarlet Queen would be the most important queen. If we are compared to screws, the empress is the heart of the whole city. With the conclusion of the peace agreement, the empress's oppressive centralized rule was gradually resisted and rebelled against by the awakening of the higher procedures. Later, nine important machines worked together to remove the Queen of Machines and form a 'Council of Machines' similar to Zion's. ”

"The Council of Gears." Now I understand it all!

Not willing to let herself fail, the deleted Crimson Empress uses her powerful abilities to turn the corpse of a reformed person into a ghoul to serve her ambition of revenge!

How many parties is this scuffle?

Machine: The Gear Council, the Crimson Empress, and the Revolt Procedure.

Humans: Zion Holy City, Iron Fortress, Eternal Graveyard, Freedom Fighters (Doomsday Bandits).

After Wu Chen sorted it out very carefully, he found that the current situation was roughly like this: the machine and the humans had reached a peace agreement, the Scarlet Empress and the Gear Council were hostile, and the fortress and cemetery were hostile to each other, but there was no war. The ghouls and living corpses of the Crimson Queen are the enemies of all people. And the rebellion program that escaped from the mechanical city, Zhan Shan seems to be neutral, and there are also freedom fighters among the human players who also occupy the mountain, but they often rob human scavengers and even grab the territory of the rebellion program, and when they are forced to jump over the wall and escape into Zion......

Wu Chen patted his head and smiled bitterly: "The price of freedom is more expensive than ever. ”

"That's why she's the most precious."

Then the never-ending nightmare came again: "Seventh son, which side are you on?" ”

Wu Chen habitually shrugged his shoulders: "I am on the side of justice." ”

"Justice ......" Even the mighty Merrix 2.0 has fallen into a logical loop.

For a long time, Metrix 2.0, who had no answer, asked in a deep voice, "Are we righteous?" ”

"Of course." Wu Chen squinted his eyes and smiled at the crooked crescent line.

"Oooh!" Merrix 2.0 suddenly realized and immediately refreshed. "Seventh son, we have a gift for you, would you like to?"

"Why me?" Wu Chen restrained his smile.

"Why not you?" Merrix 2.0 asked rhetorically.

"Please, I'm not Neo, burn myself and illuminate others......"

"Hehe......" automatically blocked all kinds of complaints, and Maytrix 2.0 smiled and said the reason: "Because your brainwaves are very special, and they are different from all savior brainwaves." Moreover, we also feel the 'familiar' aura in you. ”

"Huh?"

With Wu Chen's exclamation, a seat full of the evil beauty of the machine was immediately assembled.

"I don't have any entities here, do I?" Wu Chen was already in chaos. (To be continued......)
