Chapter 144: Watching the Flowers
The dinghy eventually stopped.
After a short downward tunnel, the dinghy came to rest on a hollowed-out berth, and the hydraulic restraint arm stretched out to hold the dinghy in place.
After that, a conveyor belt runs from one end of the metal trestle to the hatch of the dinghy.
Yuan Hao led Ex and his party down from the conveyor belt and entered this world composed entirely of silver metal.
Silver-white ceilings, silver-white walls, silver-white floors. Although there is a clear difference between the ceiling and the floor, there is nothing wrong with the silver tone.
"Welcome...... That's where we go forward. Walking in the white world, Yuan Hao stretched out his arms and said proudly.
It's an airtight world, but you don't feel bored at all when you're in it. There was not a single light in the hall, only a faint soft white glow from the ceiling overhead, which cast a bright and cold light.
White light, white world - the stimulation brought by color makes people feel the corresponding emotions in the heart, which has long been proven by science.
"You guys live here? You don't seem to have a lot of people, there's so little popularity here. Ex, who was following Yuan Hao, touched the interface behind his head, smiled as if he was relieved, and said without hesitation.
"Are you saying it's too deserted here? Well, I don't think it's too good too!" Yuan Hao nodded as if he didn't answer the question: "Since that's the case, then let's change the environment." He snapped his fingers as he spoke.
"Horn!" A voice came out, and fluorescent light flowed on the four walls of the hall, as if a curtain had been opened, and the white cracked from the center of the four walls, and the gentle and distant blue appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Warm sunlight casts down from the sky, reflecting on the white filaments of the waves, casting rippling shadows onto the bottom of the sea. Fish reverberate all around, and coral reefs dot the distance.
Except for the dinghy in front of them and the stiff restraint arms that made people look abrupt, I was afraid that no one would think that they were still in the hall without explaining it beforehand—the change in the scene around them made them think that they had run to the bottom of the sea all at once.
It was so real, so real that they heard the sound of the sea flowing, smelled the faint smell of the sea, felt the moisture attached to their bodies, and the brightness and gentleness from the sun.
"It's not like it's back to the mother. Suddenly encountering such a thing, Ex and the others were startled, and they all involuntarily touched the back of their heads. The cold interface was still there, and the hard feeling made them sure that they were indeed still in the real world.
"It's ......," Ex looked surprised.
"Something like a screen...... The pre-set image is displayed. The whole process is controlled by the computer, forming a vision on the surrounding screen, adding the fine-tuning of smell, humidity, and temperature to form what you feel. It's also a deception, but it seems a little too cruel to keep people facing that kind of white. Yuan Hao said softly, and simply explained the principle of this set of techniques to everyone.
"Actually, such technology was very popular before the war. It is known as virtual reality projection...... It is a relatively high-end toy. A lot of people pursue this. He smiled faintly.
"It's fake...... Why did people like to chase fake ones at that time? Isn't the real one good?" asked Mina, an observer on the Mohican, puzzled and curious, as for Yuan Hao's explanation.
"No one likes the exact same thing. No matter how much this thing doesn't have you, it's always boring to watch it for a long time. People want to try something new, so in order to improve their living environment, people invented this.
You can't imagine what people were after at that time. Just like they were back then, they couldn't imagine what they left us. Yuan Hao said lightly, "In that era, similar to this kind of all-week-day imaging technology, according to the difference between military and civilian, developed in different directions.
The military side is eager to turn everyone into cute little animals, while the civilian ones are how real and bloody they are! In short, it is very exaggerated. ”
"Why? And such a thing? How do you know?" the women were very curious, and so was Mina, the only woman on the Mohican. She asked Yuan Hao, wanting to ask this question clearly.
"Didn't I say it? For interstellar travel, we use cryo-life support systems...... We actually lived in that era. Everything there is in itself everything we live in. Yuan Hao said with a smile.
"That's ......," Ex nodded, still skeptical.
Saying this, Yuan Hao led them out of the ship hall and walked towards the depths of the base.
This base Yuan Hao is also the first time to come, and he is not very familiar with the road or something. However, he knows how to read signs. He led Ex and them to the command office, as indicated in the sign. This is the heart of the entire base, and the only place to go, apart from the ship hall.
As for the production line, Yuan Hao didn't dare to show them, and some of the factories next to him had not yet been built. Yuan Hao was not dissatisfied with this, after all, in just three hours, it was amazing enough that the Red Queen was able to create a base framework of this scale.
"It's just too efficient. Yuan Hao thought secretly in his heart.
But this is also a good thing, after all, the more efficient it is, the faster your farming plan can be carried out.
Entering the command office, Ex was greeted by an empty hall, a dense and neat computer layout, and a large number of screens. Dozens of people were busy in this hall. They were so focused on their work that they didn't react even when so many people came in.
"It's a good bunch of soldiers. Ex smiled appreciatively.
"How do you think they compare to Zion's army?" Yuan Hao asked him with a smile.
"They are much more professional than Zion's army. It's just that behind this profession, what I see is cold. They are indifferent to the outside world, only do what they think, and have no passion. They may be very qualified soldiers, but such soldiers are scary. For Yuan Hao's question, Ex pondered for a while and told Yuan Hao his feelings directly.
"Really?" Yuan Hao whispered, smiling clearly, but in his heart he admired Ex's observation - these people are all Terminator-type robots, and they are relatively simple T-800 models, which are naturally so-called cold and professional.
It's really unreliable for you to ask a robot who is not not intelligent to have enthusiasm. Having said that, Yuan Hao also understands that this may be the direction he must work towards in the future.
After all, the current Ex is still relatively easy to fool, but in the future, as the contact with Zion deepens, more people will definitely come here, so if this is still the case, there will definitely be problems.
"When these people are asleep, I will definitely discuss these things with Yang Xue and them. Yuan Hao thought secretly.
With some reservations, Yuan Hao didn't let Ex and them see too many things, and after a round of sightseeing, Yuan Hao invited them to dinner.
When real canned food, visible pieces of meat and vegetables appeared in their eyes, whether it was Ex or Mina, or anyone else, their eyes couldn't help but widen.
They had eaten a big meal, but it was in the matrix, and it wasn't even eating, it was just receiving those nerve signals.
Can they feel that feeling, but real taste?
They never have.
Is this really reality?
Looking at the dishes that appeared in front of them, they involuntarily touched the back of their heads again, feeling the cold and abrupt touch.
Relying on the interface to make sure that he is still in reality has almost become a habit of Ex lately.
There are good food (self-heating military rations from the cosmic century) and fine wine (canned whiskey from the cosmic century), and Aix and his entourage can be described as satisfied. They really hadn't eaten such good real food, and it was natural for them to finish a meal.
Yuan Hao looked at it with a smile on the side, and he was really sweating in his heart: "I can really eat it, but there are about 20 people, and I actually ate the amount of 50 people...... Anyway, Zion's life is so sad?"
Yuan Hao's face was silent, and in his heart, he really lowered the level of Zion again.
After such a meal, Ex and the others were full of wine and food, and they were a little too strong to walk. They seemed to have a lot to explore, but the smoky wine came up, and even the energetic Exx couldn't stand it.
Seeing their sad and aggrieved looks, Yuan Hao shook his head lightly and persuaded them to take a good rest: "It's nine o'clock in the evening now, I think it's better for you to rest early." I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
"This ......" Ex hesitated for a long time, but he really couldn't hold on, he agreed to Yuan Hao's persuasion.
Yuan Hao divided Aix and his crew into six rooms. Aix and Mina were in one room, while the remaining twenty-two crew members were in one room for four. The standard of guest room space in the forward base is in accordance with the standard of the base of the universe century, which is a large room of 30 square meters, and it does not look tight at all for four people.
Ex: They slept peacefully. Yuan Hao saw all this from the surveillance in the command room, and he glanced at Yang Xue and asked her to inject some faint hypnotic gas into these guest rooms.
It's not that Yuan Hao wants to do anything bad to them, but Yuan Hao has something else to do, and he has to leave the forward base secretly, without them noticing.
Each force has its own goals and interests, and for Yuan Hao, the biggest purpose at the moment is to take the opportunity to obtain some technology that belongs to this world.
For this reason, Yuan Hao decided to bring the Red Queen and several dozen T-1000s. After all, he couldn't directly dismember the "Mohican" belonging to Zion, but with the Red Queen's mapping and scanning ability and the T-1000's pervasive penetration ability, Yuan Hao was sure that he could complete this task well.
After they slept for an hour in Ex, Yuan Hao took a small boat to carry people from the bottom of the sea after asking Yang Xue to send them a wave of hypnotic gas. The 1,200-ton dinghy soared at a high speed of 50 knots at the bottom of the sea.
With such speed, Yuan Hao approached the battlefield at that time half an hour later.
Due to the dispersion of Minovsky particles and full-band interference, the Matrix did not find that their mechanical octopus had been destroyed. Although their signals had disappeared from the Matrix's feed, the mere number of ten mechanical octopuses and the disappearance of only a few hours were not enough for the Matrix to react quickly.
The matrix is now the overlord of the earth, and their family has a big business, so their reaction to some things is naturally very slow. This gave Yuan Hao the opportunity to get his hands on it. At this time, the situation on the battlefield was still the same.
Zion's hovercraft Mohican rested silently over there, while the wreckage of ten mechanical octopuses was scattered all over the ocean floor.
"After the red, you leave a doppelganger here and control the dinghy. And let twenty T-1000s collect the fragments of those mechanical octopuses here. And you and the remaining ten T-1000s go with me to the side of the Mohican, we have to figure something out. Thirty meters away from the Mohican, the dinghy stopped, and Yuan Hao whispered to the Red Queen, who had come with him.
"Understood!" the red queen nodded lightly and agreed.
She closed her eyes and rested her little hand on the control of the dinghy. As an indescribable wave spread, she completed what Yuan Hao asked him to do.
"Alright, let's go. She smiled and stretched out her hand to Yuan Hao.
Yuan Hao took her hand, she leaned directly on her small body, hung on Yuan Hao intimately, and left the boat with him through the ventilator on the side of the side.
At this time, the dinghy was docked at the bottom of the sea at a depth of twenty-two meters, and as soon as Yuan Hao came out with red, he felt the ubiquitous water pressure from all around. In an instant, his body became heavy, and his every move was much more strenuous than before.
Yuan Hao frowned slightly, and the true qi in his body was used to fight against it, and he instantly relaxed a lot. He turned his head to look at the red queen who was pulling him, and asked him in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
"Of course, I don't have any problems at all. You know, my body is made of the best materials. The red queen raised her head, and a willow brow bent like the moon. She smiled heartily.
Since there was no problem with the red queen, Yuan Hao walked forward, and behind him ten T-1000 Terminators followed closely, and followed him to the location of the "Mohican".
Here, Yuan Hao paddled his body upwards and came to the top deck of the "Mohican". He knew there was a hatch there, and he wanted to reach out and open it directly, but the red queen grabbed him.
"Don't be so impulsive! This ship is a battleship, and there must be a lot of surveillance on it. I had to get their system under control first. The Red Queen said.
As a computer person, her thinking is extremely cautious. In front of Yuan Hao, he interpreted what caution is.
"Okay!" Hearing Honghou say this, Yuan Hao directly stepped aside and let her do it. But she was seen sticking her fair palm to the outer wall of the "Mohican", eroding its internal system.
After about ten minutes, she opened her eyes calmly and nodded at Yuan Hao: "It's done! ”
"Good!" Yuan Hao smiled happily and opened the hatch of the "Moxican".
