Chapter 153: Cold Truth
"Universal mobile weapon for space?bipedal mecha...... Is this kind of flashy guy really developed by someone in the world? It can't be a showman?" the fat Indian, named Balik, was the first to cry out in surprise.
He was a professor in the Department of Mechanical Design, and he was very familiar with mechanical things, and when he saw this unprecedented guy, the first thing he doubted was the authenticity of this thing. After all, humanoid mechs only exist in the works of science fiction writers, and Barrick has never heard of any country in the world that has actually studied this thing.
"It's a target, but it's really emotional. Barrick pursed his lips and muttered quietly.
The penchant for large machines is in the veins of every man, and in their opinion, such a large, cold, completely human-made thing, even if it is placed motionless, contains a great power in itself.
So Barrick Adai turned his wheelchair to the side of the Vanguard Gundam and touched the cold object with his hands. Although Zuogel did not have more words, the surprise and curiosity in his eyes were indelible.
Among the three, the only one who can remain calm may be the little girl Huang Yun. She is a woman, and her preferences are different from men's.
She pursed her lips and whispered, "What do you want us to see? If it's just this big guy, I don't think there's anything too surprising about it." ”
Well, she's not interested in that.
"Of course!" Yuan Hao clapped his hands lightly, diverting everyone's attention: "Everyone...... I'm not here to see this. I asked you to come here, but I chose you to see the real world. ”
Yuan Hao said, snapping his fingers crisply. After that, the crowd found that the walls around them had completely "disappeared", and they were standing in the air with the bright sun above them and thick clouds under their feet.
"360-degree full-day view?" Zuogel was surprised, this is another new technology.
Unlike the humanoid mecha I just saw, this new technology can indeed make money. Because this is a crucial step in virtual reality.
"It's not the key, it's what you see. Yuan Hao didn't respond to Zuoger's surprise, he just smiled faintly, letting everyone pay attention to the picture displayed on the screen of Zhou Tian.
"We're above the clouds now!" said the little girl Huang Yun.
The clouds are at the feet, which is above the clouds, of course. It's just that everyone feels that something is wrong. There seemed to be too many clouds under my feet, and it stretched like a continent from one end to the other, and there was no edge in sight.
"We are on the cloud. But soon we're going to be descending altitude. Yuan Hao said.
As if in response to his words, a slight gravitational force was applied to them, and they saw that Gundam's head and body were slightly raised, and they seemed to become taller.
It's not the Gundam starting, it's the ship diving. Because the bow of the ship was downwards and the stern of the ship was raised, everyone could see Gundam's face. Although they didn't see it too realistically, after all, the angle was only a little bit, but they still determined the fact that the ship was diving.
The ship descended, plunging into the clouds, the thick marshmallow-like silk easily ripped open with a large knife, and a not-so-obvious hole swept through as he fastened. The void was quickly filled, like a stream of water filling a whirlpool that had lost its power. It was smoothed out. There's nothing to say about that.
Seeing the wisps of black in front of them more and more, everyone here felt the speed of the ship.
The spaceship was still fast, and they estimated from their own senses that the speed of the spaceship should be about half the speed of sound. Maybe sooner, but they don't know yet.
However, even at half the speed of sound, the clouds seem a little too thick in terms of the time it takes for the ship to pass through them. It took a full thirteen seconds for the cloud to be chiseled through by the ship. Those who had been watching this place saw the ominous earth beneath the clouds.
The earth is black, but it is not the darkness of the night.
It was a color full of ashes, reminiscent of death and desolation.
The little girl Huang Yun is said to be a person with excellent learning and excellent memory, and she took advantage of the hazy light revealed when the clouds were broken through to look at the outline of the earth below and was suddenly surprised: "This ...... Isn't this the English Channel?"
Huang Yun's loud voice attracted the attention of Zogel and Barrick.
The two of them hurriedly leaned down. Although the light only lit up for a moment and then quickly disappeared, they also saw something vaguely in this moment. That's right, it's a bit like the English Channel down there.
Only, why is the English Channel so dark?
The direction of the spacecraft must have been on the other side of the Atlantic.
In this way, the British Isles are ahead. It should be very close to London, but why is there no light in the direction of London?
Also, as you can tell from the sunlight above the clouds, it should still be daytime. But why is it so dark under the clouds? What are these thick clouds?
One question after another appeared in their minds, making them think big.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Zogel, surprised.
"What year do you think this year is? Is it 1997?" Yuan Hao did not answer Zuogel's question, but asked him lightly.
"What?" Hearing Yuan Hao ask, the three of them were stunned. Their eyes widened and they looked at Yuan Hao in bewilderment. They didn't know why Yuan Hao asked such a simple and boring question.
"It's not 1997 anymore, it's 2197...... It's December, it's almost Christmas, but no one is going to think about that holiday right now. Yuan Hao replied calmly.
"Why?" asked Barrick, puzzled.
"Because everything is a thing of the past. Now are the end times...... Most of the human civilization has been destroyed, and many people have become sunken. The rest of the people are running for their lives, who would have thought that they would have to spend Christmas?" Yuan Hao shook his head gently.
"What? you can't be joking, are you?" Except for the little girl Huang Yun, who was a little indifferent to this, Zorger and Barrick, who were adults, looked incredulous about it.
"It's not a joke...... Yuan Hao shook his head gently: "At the beginning of the 21st century, human beings invented AI, which gave machines an extraordinary consciousness. ”
"AI, artificial intelligence?" Barrick raised his eyebrows in surprise: "This kind of thing...... How is that possible?"
"Why not? Sometimes, invention is just a flash of inspiration. In short, people have such great inventions. Yuan Hao calmly told the history of this world.
"But......," Zogel replied calmly. It's not that he believes Yuan Hao's statement, but he really wants to hear how Yuan Hao explains this issue.
"Humans see machines as tools. But with self-consciousness machinery, it is not willing to become a tool. War broke out between the two sides...... No one knows who fired first, but we know for sure that the machinery at that time was powered by solar energy.
In order to defeat the machines, humans obscured the sky.
After using a large number of nuclear weapons, humanity eventually achieved this goal, but the machine found its own solution. They exterminated all humans in the world and harnessed the human gene pool. From then on, human beings were not born from their mother's body, but became something similar to a plant. The bioelectricity generated by the human body is greater than 120 volts!
Body heat exceeds 25,000 caloric units......
By aggregating these in a nuclear furnace, the machines can find all the energy they need. For this purpose, the machinery has opened up a large field......
Produce people like crops. Yuan Hao calmly told the terrible truth.
"How is that possible? You're talking too much like science fiction. Neither Zuogel nor Barrick wanted to believe this, and even the little girl Huang Yun put forward her own opinion: "No! People also consume energy, and according to the law of conservation of energy, support so many human beings...... The energy of the mechanical city?"
“...... They liquefy the corpse and tube it directly into the person's body. Many of the interfaces you have are used as channels...... This is the real reality. Yuan Hao still said very indifferently.
"This ...... How is that possible?" Hearing Yuan Hao say this, Zuoger, Balik, and Huang Yun couldn't help but tremble. They don't want to believe it's true.
Because if this is true, it means that they are actually living a cannibalistic life. Cannibalism is immoral, even disgusting, Yuan Hao said this about them, and they were naturally unwilling to agree.
"Thank you for telling us a thrilling sci-fi story, but this story is too unreal. It's hard for us to believe it's real. Maybe you'll need to pay attention to this when you continue to make up this story in the future. Zuogel said lightly.
"Although I also hope that what you say is true - it is indeed a dream. But the reality in front of us makes it impossible to avoid this. Believe it or not, that's how it is...... I have brought you out of falsehood, and you will never be able to return to that place of falsehood. Yuan Hao shrugged, looking very helpless.
"What do you mean?" Zogel and Balik both changed color at once, "We were kidnapped by you, weren't we?" they asked resentfully.
"I want you to be free from false testimony of truth...... But if you keep refusing to accept it, then for the sake of your life, I can only support you. You have been rejected by the Matrix and can no longer be brought back to the Matrix...... So, I can only take you back to my own base. Yuan Hao said what he had arranged for them.
"You bastard......" Zuo Geer couldn't believe what Yuan Hao said after all, although Yuan Hao said it very sincerely, he was still angry. He roared angrily and threw himself at Yuan Hao, waving his fist to smash Yuan Hao's head.
This blow, he was angry, naturally he didn't think about anything, and he hit the tiger vigorously. But Yuan Hao will not be taken advantage of by him as he thinks. But seeing that Yuan Hao would reach out and gently flick Zuo Geer's hand, he raised one foot and kicked Zuo Geer's stomach.
"Poof......" Zuo Geer spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person was bent into a shrimp and was kicked three meters away by Yuan Hao.
He slammed into the ship's bulkhead with a loud "bang!" thud.
"You ......" Zuogel was so pained that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Everyone, I want you to remember no matter what, that you are on my turf...... Whether you see me as a savior or as a kidnapper. You're all my people. What I need from you is your obedience. ”
At this moment, Yuan Hao became less talkative.
"Three minutes...... I'll give you three minutes to think about your own business. In three minutes, I'll pick you up the data, and I'll teach you something. Yuan Hao coldly threw down the order, turned around and left.
"You ......" Looking at Yuan Hao, whose face suddenly changed, Zuo Geer was still unwilling in his heart.
But Huang Yun and Barrick both shuddered, and judging from Yuan Hao's clean defeat of Zuoger, they determined that Yuan Hao had a strong force. For such a tough kidnapper, the two who thought they had low combat power had no idea of resisting. They all understand that the situation is pressing, and people are willing to reason with you, so you had better obey other people's reasoning.
Before your fists outweigh the opponent, obedience is clearly the key to solving the problem at hand.
"Don't let yourself suffer. Zogel...... Let's go, who let us be chosen? Bharrick pushed the wheelchair until he sat on the ground panting in pain and stretched out his hand to him.
"I understand! I was too impulsive. Zuogel endured the pain in his body, and with the help of Balikla's own strength, he convulsed and straightened up.
"Let's go!" he said with a frown, very frustrated.
Yuan Hao gave them three minutes, but they still came to the place Yuan Hao said in just one minute, knowing that they couldn't refuse after all. Seeing that they were all coming, Yuan Hao nodded lightly and led them to the other end of the cabin. He opened the door and led them to another room.
When they entered it, they were immediately attracted by the three seats they were familiar with. It was a cold seat, and they were all restrained by the seat in the first place, and they had to come here.
Now...... The chair appeared in front of them again, and the little girl named Pingyuan was nervously busy in front of the computer host in front of the chair.
What is he going to do?
The three of them shuddered involuntarily and became confused.
"Go up!" Yuan Hao said coldly.
"What do you want to do?" said Balik, looking at Yuan Hao. Zuogel was so painful that he couldn't speak, and now he could only communicate with Yuan Hao by Barrick.
"I'm going to take you into a virtual matrix and I'm going to let you learn something quickly. Yuan Hao said lightly.
"Learn things, learn things, use this?" Balik became more and more puzzled.
But Yuan Hao's sharp eyes glared again. They couldn't go against Yuan Hao's opinion, and they all trembled on the cold seats on their foreheads.
"Click!" the steel buckle snapped, jamming their hands and feet.
"That's right!" Yuan Hao nodded with satisfaction, and quickly walked to the other silver-white cabin next to the three seats.
As Yuan Hao approached, the egg-like cabin opened, and Yuan Hao stepped into it, and the hatch closed again.
"Everyone, are you ready?" Pingyuan's crisp voice sounded in everyone's ears: "If you're ready, then we're going to start." ”
"How to start?" they wondered, when they suddenly felt something slip into the hole behind their heads.
Sharp pain followed, causing them to scream involuntarily.
