There are three biggest problems in building a city on the surface:

The first is the threat of the Machine City;

followed by the deterioration of the atmospheric environment;

Finally, there's the issue of sunlight.

In terms of Zion's original scientific and technological strength, the first problem is the most deadly, and although the last two problems are difficult to solve, if there is a good working environment, there should still be a way to rely on people's intelligence. After all, humans are the best at figuring things out.

But the presence of machinery blocks it all. Eventually, the situation on the ground dragged down. Now, the problem that Zion was going to face fell on Yuan Hao.

As the big construction movement unfolded, everyone thought that the machines would not sit idly by and watch this happen, and that they would inevitably attack - but they didn't want to wait until the construction was half completed, and people didn't encounter even a mechanical octopus.

"What the hell is going on?" people wondered.

In this regard, Yuan Hao duly announced the gamble and agreement between himself and the Matrix Creator.

"In the space of ten years, the earth's environment will be restored to a certain extent...... Why would the machine say yes? It's good for us, but it's not good for the machine!"

"They can't help but agree...... Everyone knows what is going on on Earth. If we continue to fight endlessly like this, continue to develop on this near-dead planet, it is estimated that in a few hundred years, the earth will be doomed. Although we have a struggle with the machine, we all live on the earth. If the earth is not in trouble, we will not benefit.

For the sake of the long-term future, we must exercise moderation...... And if the mechanical side doesn't agree, it won't work. I threatened them that if they refused to stop fighting, I would scatter and smash the asteroid on Earth! It's better to break the jade than to be complete!"

In front of everyone, Yuan Hao explained his original actions.

This kind of rhetoric is very much in line with human appetite, although they also understand that the result of the asteroid drop means that everyone will end up together, but they also feel very relieved to be able to end up with their own feud.

With one sentence, the doubts in everyone's hearts were gone.

They feel a little at ease, and they are more and more attentive to the construction of new cities.

The environment on the surface is not suitable for humans today. Because of the dust in the sky, the lack of sunlight has made the entire surface extremely cold. Plants are completely extinct, and the earth has lost its existence to produce oxygen, which has led to a corresponding change in the composition of the earth's atmosphere. Coupled with the rampant sewage and acid rain, it is impossible for people to survive on the surface.

People walking on the surface of the earth are no different from walking on aliens - they all have to wear fully enclosed protective clothing, otherwise they will be looking for death and waiting for death.

"Everybody sees what is going on outside. Although this is our home planet, the destruction of the environment makes it impossible for us to survive normally. Normal construction cannot cope with such a situation, and we must use some other methods. In short, we must build our home planet as if it were a real alien planet!"

In fact, Yuan Hao commanded and did so.

According to his idea, it is to imitate the kind of fully enclosed ecological colony city built on the extraterrestrial colony in the original science fiction. Geothermal power plants and nuclear furnaces are used as energy sources to drive various tools.

The city's outer walls are framed by thick, corrosion-resistant alloy steel and filled with composite glass to separate the inside and outside – a 200-kilometer radius that will form the urban limits of the new Los Angeles city. Within this range, all mountains and rivers are included.

Yuan Hao's planned new Los Angeles City has a semi-circular dome and its highest point is 5,000 meters. This is beyond the clouds. Yuan Hao set up a light-gathering platform here, using light energy transfer means to transmit sunlight to the clouds, so that the city can enjoy the sun's rays when it has not completed purification.

After the earth regained sunlight, the water on the surface began to be purified. At the entrance of the river that flows through the city and near the coastal coastline, Yuanhao began to build independent water purification facilities to ensure the cleanliness of the water source within the city.

Immediately after that, more advanced three-prevention disinfection equipment entered the market, digesting and dissolving the contaminated land at a rate of three square kilometers per day, so as to ensure the growth of crops. In fact, it's all a relatively late matter.

The inhabitation of the people of Zion began after the water source was purified. At first, it was just the workers who were responsible for purifying the land and water, then the management of the city of Zion, and finally the people of Zion. With the projection of sunlight and the cooperation of holograms, the people who returned to the surface of the earth returned to the lush earth before the outbreak of war in the old era.

Although they all knew that it was just an appearance, it was enough for them to revel in it.

In short, a year and a half after the start of the major construction, the new Los Angeles city that can make people live normally has appeared on the earth. With a radius of 200 kilometers, this was a large city second to none even in the old days. It's just that such a big city is not exactly for living.

As a starting point, he is more responsible for the production of industrial products and the corresponding scientific research tasks. In short, everyone in New Los Angeles is a guinea pig who is used to test and prove what life is necessary on the surface.

After the population shifted, new factories were opened. This time, Yuan Hao wants to build an orbital ladder similar to the Gundam 00 world in the sea west of Los Angeles City, and its purpose is to break through the thick clouds and reach low earth orbit to establish a real solar energy collection ring around the earth to obtain more energy.

To this end, Yuan Hao also specially entered the matrix to seek help from the Creator.

"You're going to build a low-Earth orbit ring around the Earth? Why? Your nuclear furnace technology is so advanced that it shouldn't be that much energy for your population right now. In that room, the creator and Neo who met with Yuan Hao raised such doubts about Yuan Hao's request very puzzled after a simple greeting.

"The construction of the orbital space station around the earth is not to provide energy for the people under my rule, but to produce oxygen. Without the plants, the oxygen on the ground is decreasing little by little.

We all know that oxygen is a very important part of the biosphere. Now that all the plants are gone, I have to do it myself to get more oxygen. Yuan Hao explained with a smile.

"Do it yourself?" you mean?" the Creator seemed to have some guesses.

"That's right, just as you think...... I'm going to get oxygen by splitting down water. Yuan Hao smiled and nodded in affirmation.

"Oxygen is obtained by using solar power from the orbital space station to split water with electricity...... This approach does work in theory. But where are you going to use the water?" the Creator asked, "What do we machines gain in this action?"

"You can get the starry sky...... If you have not seen the magnificence of the starry sky, you cannot imagine the greatness of the starry sky. If you want to have a longer future, you have to have a long-term vision. Yuan Hao said in a deep voice: "Ordinary programs can only focus on what is in front of you, but as the creator of all programs, the Creator must have a broader vision. ”

"You ......" The creator was silent for a while by Yuan Hao's preaching, and finally nodded approvingly: "You're right, we really can't be too careful." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said again: "So what are your plans for all this?"

"Actually, that's what I think...... Yuan Hao hesitated for a moment, and said his abacus: "The establishment of a near-earth orbit circle around the earth is the first step, which is not only an energy facility, but also an oxygen production equipment, and a seaport for human beings to enter and exit the universe in the future......

After building the orbital circle, we have to do the first aid room to make a large number of dry ice rockets, and rain on a large area on the sea surface. Of course, the corresponding comet can also be considered to achieve this effect in the later stage.

The reason why the sky is obscured is nothing more than because there are too many suspended solids in the air, and the suspended solids are solid, and we use the high-altitude rainfall to wash them down and let them settle into the sea. In this way, it should be possible to make the clouds in the sky thinner and thinner. This is the second step.

In the third step, we will establish corresponding ecosystems in major parts of the world, which will be mainly fully enclosed in the first place, and gradually evolve into semi-open or even fully open ecosystems. Genetic tuning technology is used to restore the vitality of the earth by matching plants that can purify pollution, and gradually produce major genetic animals in the later stage to build a real ecosystem.

And in conjunction with the third step, during this period, I will gradually hand over the corresponding space technology to you, in order to seek the development of space on both sides. The sea of stars is huge, and we don't have to die on Earth......

Leaving the earth and going into deep space, that's what I want. In fact, while the third step is proceeding, I hope that all human beings will be able to immigrate to space at that time. I intend to build a space colony at the Gran Lange point between the Earth, Moon and Sun, and use this as an opportunity to build a new space colony ship. ”

"Very ambitious goals...... Step by step sounds very down-to-earth......" Listening to Yuan Hao's plan, the creator groaned slightly and said.

At this time, his eyes flickered, as if he was calculating the feasibility of this plan, and when he found that this plan could indeed achieve its expected goal while maintaining the continuity of implementation, he nodded seriously and officially approved Yuan Hao's plan.

"So...... How can I help?" the Creator asked.

"I want you to use your power to get the machines involved. The human population is still too small. Hundreds of thousands of people, even with the help of machinery, we are not able to use enough labor. We need your help. Yuan Hao said his request bluntly.

He told the Creator, "I won't ask you for help in vain, I can provide you with a design for a robot called the Terminator...... These humanoids, which use bipedal skeletons, can instill a sense of autonomy or can be dressed in human form. In other words, this robot can take on a human form and live directly in human society. A virtual matrix can feel wrong, but the real world doesn't ......"

"What? You still have such technology?" The creator was slightly startled, and then suddenly said, "Yes, you should indeed have such technology." I've seen the war between you and Smith, and you did use steel robots capable of wielding human weapons. That guy has the same skeleton as a human...... As long as they are pressed with human skin, some blood vessels, and energy conversion devices, they can indeed survive in human society in human form. ”

Speaking of which, the Creator was slightly excited. This idea was originally commonplace, but it had never been moved in this direction by machines. Even if he hadn't obtained Yuan Hao's technology, the creator estimated that it wouldn't take him much time to develop it—just an idea.

Of course, if they can get Yuan Hao's technology, their time can be reduced accordingly, and mature technology is always more reliable than independent research and development.

All in all, it was quite a useful technique, and the Creator had in a blink of an eye several things that could be achieved with it.

Of course, these effects are all trivial details, and the most important thing to obtain this technology is to be able to integrate into human society almost perfectly, as Yuan Hao said, and understand what the real variables are in the absolutely real world.

How to make programs have the same infinite possibilities as humans - this is what the Creator diligently pursues.

And the technology that Yuan Hao said is undoubtedly a way for programs to learn from humans in the eyes of the creator.

However, what he can think of, the creator believes that Yuan Hao should also be able to think of.

Therefore, the creator stared at Yuan Hao seriously for a long time, and asked a little strangely: "This technology allows machines to enter human society...... Aren't you afraid that those machines will destroy your territory?"

"I'm afraid, of course...... It's just that I think it's most useful to let humans and machines understand each other and further integrate - I don't want to continue fighting for hundreds of years. Yuan Hao said and spread his hands: "I want to seek long-term peace on equal terms, what about you?"

"Me?" The creator was slightly stunned, and then shook his head vigorously: "I don't want to either!"

"Since we don't want to, why don't we start recuperating in this relationship. Yuan Hao smiled and asked: "From now on, I think one day, we will become good partners." ”

"So...... Yes!" The Creator nodded slightly.
